Quick Time Travel: Self-immolation
Chapter 7
Lin Xia thought for a while and finally did not reply to this message.
Maybe it's because she used the wrong target in the way of trying to get her. For several days, Bai Qin didn't contact her again.In the past few days, Lin Xia's interview materials have been published after being written by the editor-in-chief, and Bai Qin's initial response has also attracted corresponding attention.
As a great hero, Lin Xia didn't care too much about this matter.
Just like what Bai Qin said, the image of a conscientious little reporter is just a persona carefully set by Lin Xia, and it is her weight to get close to Bai Qin, but in the end it seems that the effect is mediocre.After getting rid of this personality, although she will not neglect her duties, her enthusiasm for her work is also very limited.
Contrary to her reaction, the tabloid she worked for was going crazy with joy, and the editor-in-chief was particularly obvious. This American man who had already entered the middle-aged threshold for a long time seemed to have ended his emotional window ahead of schedule. The whole person is in a pink rippling state.
John, the editor-in-chief, took good care of Lin Xia from the day she entered the newspaper office. Now that she was out of her mind and completely out of the excitement of the newspaper office, he approached her under the banner of caring.
"Girl, you look like you're in love right now," John said.
He is a bit funny, and people in the newspapers spread it like this, but Lin Xia, who is Chinese, doesn't quite understand, at least she can't understand the humor of calling her a "girl" when she is in her early 20s. Of course, this is not Prevent her from liking this man.
As well as being funny, John has a British gentleman, supposedly because he was born in England and spent his rite of passage in that country.Now, the gentlemanly American man extended a loving hand to her:
"I'll be a good listener for you, Lin, if you'll confide in me."
Lin Xia was a little helpless: "Sir, I am not trapped by love."
"Duplicity is also a characteristic of young people who fall in love." John shook his head, "I was the same way back then, and then I lost my first love."
Lin Xia was amused by his words, and now she understands why everyone agrees that he is a funny man.
Driven by his emotions, she couldn't help but tease: "So have you been single so far?"
"No, I became single after I divorced my wife, who was not my first girlfriend, but my fifth."
"Pfft." Lin Xia sighed after laughing, "You love your wife very much." That's why you have been single for so long.
One person seemed to be like this too. After his wife passed away, there was no further scandal.
Yes, even Bai Qin, Bai Qin is also like this, she seems to love her dead wife deeply.
"My wife and I have some disagreements, so we can't live together, but I can't deny my love for her." John did not deny that he is an American who is willing to share his love life, and he even shows off his ex-wife a little Meaning, "Where is Lin? Who are you worrying about?"
Lin Xia hesitated for a while, and finally chose to open her heart to this person: "Mr. John, what do you think I should do to get close to a person?"
"A man? Or a woman?"
"Woman." Lin Xia paused, and added, "It's a very noble woman. She had a beloved partner, but she has passed away."
John's face changed when he heard this: "Is it the one from the White House?"
"...Yes." Lin Xia admitted, and then added eagerly, "Don't worry, I'm not a crazy follower of that lady, I'm very sensible, and I won't hurt myself or others for that person."
John stared straight at her. Seeing her frank expression, he breathed a sigh of relief. He patted her on the shoulder lightly: "If it's that one, I'm sorry, your situation is hopeless."
He gave her a "good for yourself" look, stood up and was about to leave, but stopped before turning around: "By the way, Lin, if it wasn't because you fell in love with that Miss Bai, I would be very happy You can fall in love with someone."
"Ok?"
"Because Lin seems to have no sense of belonging to this world." John further explained, "Lin, you give me the feeling that you will leave this world in the next second."
Seemingly realizing that he had said something strange, John rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
"In short, girl, let's fall in love! But one thing, don't hurt yourself!"
Lin Xia was a little dazed when he heard the words.
A sense of belonging?
Did she make others feel this way?
Her complexion was complicated. After a long time, she lowered her head and looked at the still silent mobile phone. After thinking about it, she got up and went to the bathroom.
She dialed Bai Qin's phone number in the bathroom, and said bluntly the moment the other party connected:
"Bai Qin, I want to see you."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a voice accompanied by a slight smile rang out:
"sure."
Lin Xia smiled.
"I'll come to you after get off work!" She said to the other end of the phone.
She made an appointment and kept it on schedule.
When she took a taxi to Bai's house, she felt a prying gaze, but when she turned back to look for it, it disappeared without a trace.
It was probably because of Wei An's beating that gave her a new understanding of Bai Qin's suitors and a sense of crisis, which made her suspicious. She thought so, and then entered the Bai mansion under the leadership of her servants. .
Bai Qin was holding flower scissors to shape the "sea creatures" in the courtyard. Lin Xia was a little surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help asking:
"Is this wonderful 'Ocean Paradise' usually taken care of by you?"
When Bai Qin saw her coming, he handed the flower scissors to the servant next to him, and took off his gloves: "It's just to move my hands and feet occasionally, I don't have that ability."
After a pause, she continued: "My lover used to take care of it. Although she is the heir of a large family, she majored in gardening when she was in college. She likes to tend flowers and plants. This 'Ocean Paradise' ’ She designed it too, isn’t it great?”
Probably flaunting one's partner is a common hobby of married people, Lin Xia pouted.Reluctantly, she blurted out: "Actually, I'm also very good at gardening!" After she finished speaking, she was taken aback because she had no experience in gardening.
"Haha, just kidding!" She smiled and denied her words, but there was still a doubt in her heart that did not dissipate.
Why did she say that?
Bai Qin didn't take it seriously, and only took her words as a way to cater to him and gain his attention.
Despite this, she still put on an understanding look: "Maybe you really have this talent."
"Talent?" Lin Xia murmured in a low voice, and then became inexplicably confident, "It must, I was born for talent!"
After finishing speaking, she took the flower scissors from the maid without any protection, climbed up the two-meter-high scaffolding, stared at the jellyfish-shaped shrubs in front of her, and started pruning with the scissors.
So when Bai Qin came to his senses, Lin Xia had already fully invested in it.At the beginning, Bai Qin was a little worried, but seeing that Lin Xia was skillful and did not repair a single bit, but made the "jellyfish" more agile, he let her go.
"It's really an incredible talent." She looked at it for a while, and praised it without hesitation.
Hearing her praise, Lin Xia lowered her head and smiled at her, possessing a unique charm of high spirits.She is proficient in techniques, not at all like a novice who has never been in gardening. She can even focus on two things, distracting herself from talking to Bai Qin: "I heard that people call you 'Moon Jellyfish'."
Bai Qin never cared about this kind of address, so he asked nonchalantly, "Why?"
Lin Xia touched the "jellyfish" in front of her erotically, her eyes full of suggestive teasing: "I just want to tell you, I like jellyfish."
Bai Qin was helpless: "Reporter Lin should take it easy, and be careful not to fall."
"Do you think I'm a child? How could I fall?" As she spoke, she took a scissors-hands pose that she thought was cool and handsome, "Bai Qin, are you fascinated by me?"
The helplessness on Bai Qin's face deepened: "...be careful."
As if some kind of switch was turned on, Lin Xia couldn't stop for a moment, as if suffering from ADHD: "I told you I'm not a child anymore! I can still learn acrobatics..."
Speaking of this, her foot slipped, she failed to perform her acrobatic pose, and her proud face instantly turned into a frightened face.
"careful!"
She only heard this sentence in a hurry, and then smashed it down heavily in the next second.
The touch under her body was not right, Lin Xia quickly realized this, and quickly opened her eyes——
A familiar face appeared under her eyelids, her complexion was a little pale, her brows were slightly frowned, but even so, it still didn't hinder its beauty at all.
It was Bai Qin, who became her cushion.
"Did you fall somewhere?" Bai Qin's expression softened a little, as if he had already recovered from the impact just now, she reached out to check Lin Xia's situation, and was relieved when she found no obvious injuries, "You, you are all Tell you to be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xia hugged him heavily.
"...Miss Lin?"
Lin Xia buried her head into her neck and asked her in a muffled voice, "Why did you catch me?"
Bai Qin was taken aback, with a daze in her eyes, she whispered, "I don't know why."
Lin Xia hugged her even tighter.
"Fool!"
Bai Qin laughed: "Miss Lin, don't curse in front of others."
"stupid stupid stupid!"
"puff."
"You're laughing again."
"..."
Lin Xia let go of her, raised her upper body in the posture of pressing her, carefully looked at the butterfly tattoo on her neck, and then couldn't help touching it.
"It's beautiful." She sighed.
Bai Qin let her hands fall on his neck and did not respond to her praise.
Lin Xia seemed to be confused, and lowered her head to kiss the butterfly.
Bai Qin didn't stop him.
At this time, a servant came over and informed them that the dinner was ready. Inadvertently, the servant's gaze met Bai Qin's...
So, she saw the undisguised interest in those eyes.
That kind of gaze is like seeing a prey that broke into his hunting domain.
The servant was frightened by the hunting desire in her eyes, and his heart jumped suddenly.She quickly lowered her head.
As if he didn't see the servant's reaction, Bai Qin chuckled and patted Lin Xia's back tenderly: "Okay, stop sniffing around like a puppy, get up and eat with me."
Lin Xia didn't get up immediately, she hugged her and rubbed against her as if she wanted to wipe her feet on purpose, and then got up unwillingly.
The dinner atmosphere was very harmonious, so harmonious that Lin Xia couldn't help but sigh: "Bai Qin, I really want to be with you forever."
"You can move in."
"Eh?"
Bai Qin smiled softly: "Isn't this place very big?"
The white house is very big, so keeping a small pet in captivity is not a problem.She didn't say that.
Lin Xia was surprised at first, and then laughed exaggeratedly: "Bai Qin, are you tempted by me?!"
Bai Qin watched her with a slight smile in his eyes.
"Who knows?" she said.
Maybe it's because she used the wrong target in the way of trying to get her. For several days, Bai Qin didn't contact her again.In the past few days, Lin Xia's interview materials have been published after being written by the editor-in-chief, and Bai Qin's initial response has also attracted corresponding attention.
