Chapter 291 Breaking up with Xi Lin
After all, Xi Lin didn't stay in Country Z for very long.
Even though he came to Country Z, except for the first two days when Su Jingyao had time to accompany him, Su Jingyao still had to devote more time to the studio afterwards.
Even when she returned to the large apartment that Xi Lin bought at night, she was always busy. She would often sit at her desk as soon as she got home and spend time writing ideas and coding.
When playing games, I also focus on the details of the game, trying to gain more inspiration from it.
It was not convenient for her to bring her boyfriend to the studio, so Xi Lin could only stay at home and wait for her to come back in the evening.
Su Jingyao obviously felt that Xi Lin was unhappy, and she felt guilty and a little entangled.
However, the competition their team was currently participating in had a deadline, and she couldn't let her teammates' efforts go to waste.
But even though Xi Lin was unhappy, he didn't say anything.
After Xi Lin left, Su Jingyao felt both sad and relieved, which was very contradictory.
She liked the warm feeling of seeing Xi Lin waiting for her at home every time she came back from the studio. Being held in his arms was like finding a warm harbor, and all her fatigue disappeared in an instant.
She also liked being with Xi Lin. The passionate happiness was an indescribable wonderful experience.
So she would be sad if Xi Lin left her.
However, she also had a burden in her heart. Xi Lin came to Country Z specifically to find her, but she couldn't always be with him.
But since Xi Lin didn't say it on her own initiative, Su Jingyao pretended not to know, and the two of them still appeared to be sweet and loving on the surface.
Su Jingyao spent most of her junior year in college busy.
She didn't know what Xi Lin's job was, and Xi Lin only came to Country Z once every one or two months.
The two of them seemed to be deliberately avoiding the realistic problems of the future, as if it was enough for them to just stay together like this and enjoy the sweetness and pleasure of love that they brought to each other, and it didn't matter whether they could really be together in the future.
Until one day, the game plan of Su Jingyao's team won the first place in the competition and received an investment of 8 million yuan. At that moment, her eyes lit up and she was so excited that she almost jumped up, her heart full of pride and accomplishment.
She even couldn't wait to share this joy with Xi Lin, so she picked up her phone and called Xi Lin.
However, on the other end of the phone, there was a voice that Su Jingyao didn't quite understand, as if it came from another world, full of danger and unknown.
Was that a gunshot?
Su Jingyao's heart suddenly tightened, and a bad premonition instantly surged into her mind.
Xi Lin had just killed the target of the mission, and his eyes at this moment were cold and sharp that Su Jingyao had never seen before.
When he saw her phone call, a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes and he picked up the call directly.
But he was careless for a moment and someone at the other end of the building pointed a gun at him.
"Boss, be careful!" The subordinates shouted in fear.
Xi Lin reacted quickly, his body as agile as a cheetah, but the bullet still hit his shoulder. He groaned, and pain instantly spread throughout his body.
Under the protection of his subordinates, he quickly left here.
"Xi Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Su Jingyao, who was originally happy, suddenly felt flustered.
"Are you hurt?"
"Baby, I'm fine. I'm hanging up now. I'll call you later."
Although Xi Lin's voice was a little weak, he remained calm.
That day, Su Jingyao was very nervous. It was the first time that she began to formally examine the relationship between her and Xi Lin. When Xi Lin got into trouble, she seemed to have no way of finding him. She wanted to go to Country M, but she didn't know where he was. She knew nothing about him.
After that, Su Jingyao was even more worried for almost two days. She knew that Xi Lin was shot, and it was impossible for her not to worry.
Finally, she received a call from Xi Lin.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know I'm worried? Why are you calling me now? I'm going to fly to Country M to see you."
"Baby, be good, I'm fine." Xi Lin's voice returned to its gentleness.
"Xi Lin, do you really not want me to come and see you?" Su Jingyao's voice suddenly turned cold.
"I'm afraid you're in danger."
Xi Lin sighed.
After he was injured, his target became obvious and his previous disguise was no longer useful.
She came and was discovered by the Bush family's enemies, and he was afraid that he could not protect her.
"You didn't tell me about your job because you wanted to protect me. You didn't let me go to Country M because you wanted to protect me. I know nothing about you. Xi Lin, do you think our relationship is normal?"
"Isn't it safest for me not to be in love with you? Then why don't you break up with me?"
Su Jingyao's voice was faintly tearful.
Xi Lin suddenly felt panicky, and a strong sense of uneasiness instantly surged into his heart.
He wanted to sit up, but pulled the wound on his shoulder. He let out a "hiss" and the pain made his brows wrinkle.
"No, give me some time. Once I have sorted out some problems, I will pick you up and bring you to Country M, okay?"
"What if I only want to stay in country Z?"
Xi Lin was silent.
His identity prevents him from going to country Z.
"I can give you everything you have in country Z, and you will live a better life in country M."
"Xi Lin, take good care of yourself. I'm sorry that I didn't know better and called you last time, causing you to be distracted and hurt. Let's end our relationship here. I hope you can find a girl you like and who is suitable for you in Country M."
Su Jingyao's voice was decisive.
"No, I don't agree, baby, don't say that in anger."
He wanted to keep her, but he didn't know what to say.
Su Jingyao hung up the phone.
When she first returned to China, she knew that there were irreconcilable conflicts between them, but Su Jingyao was greedy for the love Xi Lin brought her, so the two of them never talked about it.
She will graduate from college in a year, so it is impossible for her to go to Country M with Xi Lin. Although Su Jingyao doesn't know what Xi Lin does, she can vaguely feel that Xi Lin has her own responsibilities, responsibilities that cannot be given up.
Since neither of them can compromise on this relationship, separation is the best option.
After Xi Lin recovered a little from his injuries, he immediately booked a flight to Country Z. He had to see her.
It is really difficult to communicate in a long-distance relationship. Every time they meet, both parties feel that it is not easy to meet each other. They will only immerse themselves in the joy and sweetness of the meeting and will not communicate much. But in fact, conflicts are always accumulating.
Su Jingyao knew he was coming and felt mixed emotions.
She sat at home, a home that they had built together every time Xi Lin came to Country Z.
Every corner was filled with memories, and those sweet moments kept flashing in her mind like a movie.
Xi Lin entered the password with her fingers trembling slightly. When she found that the password had not changed, she breathed a sigh of relief, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
When he walked in and saw her sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up instantly. He walked over in a few steps, put her on his lap, and then hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
He placed his head on her neck, feeling her warmth and breath, his heart filled with attachment.
"No breakup."
Xi Lin's voice was low and firm, with a hint of pleading in it.
"Xi Lin, I won't go to Country M."
Su Jingyao's voice was very calm, revealing an unshakable determination.
"What's so good about Country Z? You don't have any family here. If you want to build a career, I can help you in Country M. You will definitely have a better career than in Country Z."
Xi Lin tried to persuade her.
"But my goal is to build my own career in my own country, rather than going to a foreign country and integrating into someone else's culture. Everything I get is a gift from you."
Su Jingyao is very stubborn and has her own persistence, and she expresses her position calmly.
"Xi Lin, you can't compromise for me, and I can't compromise for you either, so now that you're here today, I'll formally say it again, we break up."
After saying that, she got off him.
She has packed her luggage.
"Xi Lin, please take this house back."
Su Jingyao dragged her suitcase out of the door, and Xi Lin held her hand.
"This house is yours. If you want to leave, it's me. I can't take back the gift I gave you."
Xi Lin suddenly hugged her, as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
"I can't give you an answer now, please wait for me."
Su Jingyao didn't say anything.
She couldn't make him any promises because she didn't know what the future would hold.
Xi Lin didn't get her answer, nor did he say anything else. He slowly let go of her, as if he had used up all his strength.
"I'm leaving."
His voice was very light, and he turned and left.
Country m.
Jun Zechen has been feeling mixed emotions since he sent people to Glastonbury to investigate but failed to find a student named Su Jingyao.
In his deep eyes, there was a desire to find Yaoyao as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that the Yaoyao he was thinking about had fallen in love with someone else.
"Third Master, the young master of the Bush family has been to Country Z frequently in the past year, but it is not reasonable for him to have any business in Country Z."
After all, no one dares to sell arms in country Z.
The subordinate frowned slightly and continued, "He goes there at irregular times, and each time he deliberately hides his traces in Country Z. It's difficult for our people to determine what he does specifically."
"After he was injured last time, he actually went to Country Z."
Jun Zechen listened quietly, his handsome brows gradually wrinkled, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a thoughtful look was revealed in his eyes.
The situation in the Middle East is confusing now, and the Bush family has taken the opportunity to engage in arms trade on a large scale, and Jun Zechen's overseas business naturally also involves this area.
The Jun family has dealings with the government of country Z. This time, Jun Zechen came to country M to deliver some equipment to the Middle East in another capacity.
After all, the Middle East is an extremely attractive destination for both superpowers, so Jun Zechen would naturally not do business at a loss, and he would make money where he should.
"The Bush family frequently visits country Z. I will tell the senior officials of country Z to pay attention to this."
Jun Zechen's voice was steady and powerful.
"But the war in the Middle East won't last long. It will take at most a year. By then, I will arrange for Jun Zeyou to take over the business in Country M."
Jun Zeyou is Jun Zechen's elder brother.
"Yes." The subordinate responded respectfully.
"Is the Third Young Master planning to return to Country Z next year?"
"Um."
Jun Zechen nodded slightly, with his own plans in mind.
This time, when cooperating with the government, he made a sole request, which was to retrieve the household registration of all the people in the country, and then match them with his company's AI to find people similar to Yaoyao.
Because it involves population privacy and is a huge security risk to the country, Jun Zechen also promised the government that regardless of whether the person is found or not, the AI intelligent device filled with the national population data will be destroyed.
If you still can’t find it…
Jun Zechen may really have to believe that there is no Yaoyao of his in this world anymore.
