Like you in the sun

Chapter 68: The Past

When Lu Guanying took Lin Fanyin to the cafeteria, colleagues passing by all looked at them and smiled.

When the two sat down to eat, Lin Fanyin asked, "Brother Guanying, is there something strange about me?"

Lu Guanying: “No.”

Lin Fanyin: "Then why do they always smile at me?"

Lu Guanying: "Because you are so beautiful! Come and eat more."

"Yinyin, are you used to the food in the cafeteria?"

"Eat something first. The food I order is light and not too greasy."

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

After dinner, Lin Fanyin and Lu Guanying returned to the office and talked, but then there was no movement.

Seeing Lin Fanyin sleeping on the desk, Lu Guanying picked her up and said, "Go to bed."

Just as she put him on the bed and covered him with the quilt, Lin Fanyin dazedly grabbed Lu Guanying's hand and murmured, "Uncle."

Lu Guanying leaned over and patted Lin Fanyin gently to comfort her.

Gu Guoming knocked on the office door and said, "Director Lu~Director Lu~"

He pushed open the office door without getting a response, walked into the lounge and said, "Master Lu..."

He made an apologetic gesture and left Lu Guanying's office with an expression as if he saw everything.

When Gu Guoming returned and was filling his cup with water from the water dispenser, he stopped Wu Xiaowen, who was holding the documents, and asked, "Doctor Wu, where are you going?"

Wu Xiaowen: "Look for Director Lu to sign!"

Gu Guoming: "Don't go yet."

Wu Xiaowen: "What's wrong?"

Gu Guoming said to his colleagues: "Shocking news! Shocking news!"

Wu Xiaowen: "What shocking news has made you so excited?"

Gu Guoming: "I just went to Director Lu's office. Guess what I saw?"

Wu Xiaowen: "What did you see?"

Gu Guoming: "Director Lu is accompanying the beautiful lady!"

Colleagues responded, "That's it? Didn't you see Director Lu bringing a little beauty with him when we were having lunch in the cafeteria?"

Gu Guoming: "No, it's just that the two of them are very similar!"

Wu Xiaowen: "Which kind? Kissing?"

Gu Guoming: "I think the posture is similar. Director Lu is leaning in front of the girl."

Wu Xiaowen: "Isn't this normal between boyfriends and girlfriends?"

Gu Guoming: "A man and a woman alone in Director Lu's office, maybe the next step will be to get angry."

Wu Xiaowen: "Director Lu is a very principled person."

"Besides, that beauty doesn't look that old. Is she a high school student?"

Gu Guoming: "Who can resist such a peerless beauty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Guanying walked in.

Gu Guoming: "Lu... Director Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Guanying: "What?"

Gu Guoming walked to Lu Guanying's side and asked quietly, "Did I reject you? Can you handle this?"

Lu Guanying: "You misunderstood."

After finishing work, Lu Guanying returned to the office, prepared a cup of warm water, and sat at his desk looking at the computer.

The alarm on the bedside cabinet rang and woke Lin Fanyin up.

Lu Guanying sat down beside the bed, turned off the alarm clock and asked, "Did I wake you up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lin Fanyin stood up, rubbed his eyes and shook his head in response.

Lu Guanying: "My hair is all messed up from sleeping."

He took the comb next to him and combed Lin Fanyin's hair.

Lin Fanyin leaned sleepily on Lu Guanying's belly.

Lu Guanying: "Yinyin, why don't you sleep a little longer."

Lin Fanyin: “No.”

Lu Guanying got up and prepared to wash his face. He carefully adjusted the water to a suitable temperature, took the towel and handed it to Lin Fanyin, saying, "It's disinfected."

"Is it okay to wash your face with raw water? Don't we always use mineral water?"

Lin Fanyin: "Brother Guanying, raw water is fine."

Lu Guanying: "There is mineral water in the water dispenser. Wait for me."

Lu Guanying was combing the hair of Lin Fanyin who was sitting in front of the computer.

Lin Fanyin: "Brother Guanying, I can do it myself."

Lu Guanying: "Yinyin, don't be polite to me. I'm your attending physician!"

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

Lu Guanying handed the cup of water to Lin Fanyin and said, "You must be thirsty after waking up. Drink it now."

The night view by the river is intoxicatingly beautiful, and the lights reflected on the rippling river surface look like stars falling from the sky.

The breeze blew gently, and the willow trees by the river swayed back and forth in the autumn wind.

The moonlight was soft and Lin Fanyin was extremely beautiful under the dim lights.

It was such a beautiful day and the sky was filled with dazzling fireworks.

Lu Guanying took off his coat and put it on Lin Fanyin, saying, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

He looked at the girl in front of him with tender eyes, who was in a dazed state.

The next second, he took Lin Fanyin's hand and they walked along the river.

Lu Guanying: “Yinyin?”

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

Lu Guanying: "Do you like being with me?"

Lin Fanyin: “I like it.”

Lu Guanying: "I like being with you too."

Happy times are always short-lived. Lu Guanying looked at his watch and said, "Yinyin, I'll take you home. It's past nine o'clock."

Lin Fanyin: "Then let's go."

Lu Guanying: "Let me get the camera."

When he touched Lin Fanyin’s hand holding the camera, he asked, “Is it so cold?”

He took Lin Fanyin's hand and held it in his own to warm it.

On the way back, Lin Fanyin answered the call from Lin Yijun and said, "Hello, Dad."

Lin Yijun: "Yinyin, where have you been? Why aren't you at home?"

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, are you back?"

Lin Yijun: "Yeah, I just got home."

"Yinyin, where have you been?"

Lin Fanyin: "Take photos of the night view by the river."

Lin Yijun: "You're running around again! It's already so late and you're still not home! Daddy's going to pick you up."

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I didn't run around by myself."

"I came out with Brother Guanying and we are on our way home now."

After returning home, Lin Fanyin washed up and went to the study room and asked, "Dad, are you still busy with work?"

Lin Yijun: "No, I'm just looking at some information."

Lin Fanyin pestered him, "Dad, Dad, please play with me for a while."

Seeing his daughter acting like a spoiled child to him for the first time since returning from Jinghai, Lin Yijun hugged her in his arms and asked, "Dad, can you finish reading these materials?"

Lin Fanyin: "No, no, Dad, I haven't seen you for a whole day."

"Would you please stay with me?"

Lin Yijun: "My sweetheart, Daddy is with you."

He put down the documents in his hand and carried his daughter to the sofa in the living room.

Lin Fanyin: "Daddy, hug me."

Lin Yijun hugged his daughter and asked, "Yinyin, are you unhappy?"

Lin Fanyin: “No.”

Lin Yijun: "Dad really doesn't have an illegitimate child."

Lin Fanyin: “I know.”

Lin Yijun: "Sweetheart, tell Dad what happened?"

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I just saw those old photos of you and Mom, as well as the gifts and love letters Mom gave you."

Lin Yijun's eyes moistened as she comforted her tearful daughter, saying, "Children don't understand the world of adults."
