Strangers Ten Years Later

After sending Zhou Tiantian home, only Lin Jin and Ye Ziyuan were left in the car. Ye Ziyuan didn't start the car, but looked at him through the interior rearview mirror: "Sit in front."

Lin Jin was a little tired and didn't want to move: "What?"

"Sit in front!" Ye Ziyuan's voice became louder for no reason.

Lin Jin glanced at him, paused, and sat in the front as he wanted. As soon as the door was closed, Ye Ziyuan slammed on the accelerator, Lin Jin, who hadn't had time to fasten his seat belt, almost hit his head on the car in front. Glass up.

When the speed of the car stabilized, Lin Jin put on his seat belt, but Ye Ziyuan didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Jin was also happy and quiet, playing with his mobile phone.

When the car turned into the avenue, Ye Ziyuan opened his mouth: "What's your relationship with that Zhou Tiantian?"

"Colleague." Lin Jin swipe the news in Moments on the mobile phone.

"Colleagues out to eat alone?" Ye Ziyuan said one after another, "Have you made an appointment to eat alone next time?"

Lin Jin's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Ye Ziyuan seriously.

The other party's thin lips were slightly pursed, his brows were slightly frowned, his face was raised, and his displeasure was written all over his face. Even the back of his hand holding the steering wheel had bulging veins, as if holding back something.

Lin Jin turned off the screen of his mobile phone, stared straight ahead, and said every word: "What's wrong with eating alone? Neither of us stole or robbed, nor did we become anyone's mistress, we were both single , can't we make an appointment for dinner alone?"

With a sound of "呵——", Ye Ziyuan slammed on the steering wheel, slammed on the brakes, stopped on the side of the road, and turned to stare at Lin Jin fiercely: "That Zhou Tiantian looks silly and sweet, and it's not easy to look at it." pleasing!"

"Whether she likes it or not is none of your business?" Lin Jin looked at him deeply, "Whose business you want to do is also my business, right?"

"Why don't you do my business?!" Ye Ziyuan patted the steering wheel, gritted his teeth, and said, "Lin Jin, you've been my buddy for more than ten years, why, why don't you let me take a look at you when you're in love? Didn't mom ask your opinion when she planned to be with Ji Cheng? You were even present for the proposal! I regard you as a real buddy, real buddy, don't you put me in your heart?"

Ye Ziyuan's heart-wrenching monologue instantly made Lin Jin lose all desire to investigate deeply.

Yes, what is he wishful thinking?

Ye Ziyuan was only doing it for the poor brotherhood, yet he still felt that Ye Ziyuan was...

I'm jealous.

laugh.

The last two words, Lin Jin, just thought it was ridiculous. How could he have such a big face, thinking that Ye Ziyuan would be jealous of Ji Cheng's company?

It's just Ye Ziyuan's usual possessive desire at work, that possessive desire is not directed at the people he loves, but only at the people he owns.

And Lin Jin is his buddy.

Lin Jin was not in the mood to continue arguing with Ye Ziyuan about Zhou Tiantian, after all, it was impossible for him to be with Zhou Tiantian.

Lin Jin replied calmly: "Understood, let me tell you who I want to be with."

Ye Ziyuan hit the soft flower with his fist hard, holding back the anger in his stomach, after all, he couldn't find something to continue to get angry, and Lin Jin didn't refute him. Isn't it unreasonable for him to curse again?

So holding back the fire in his stomach, he sent Lin Jin back downstairs to the old community.

Lin Jin didn't say anything, said goodbye to him and got out of the car, watched Ye Ziyuan leave, and took another taxi back to his new residence.

Lin Jin received Zhou Tiantian's WeChat message. The girl's profile picture was Peggy the Pig. She looked very cute. As soon as he passed the message, the other party sent a long series of emoticons. She was so lively.

Zhou Tiantian: Mr. Lin, I'm home, thank you for having dinner with me today.

After thinking about it, Lin Jin replied to her very strangely and politely.

Lin Jin: You're welcome.

Zhou Tiantian sent another string of emoticons, but Lin Jin didn't reply.

When he came back from the shower, he opened the unread messages, Zhou Tiantian sent a lot of restaurant information, asking him where to eat next time, Lin Jin hesitated for a while, but finally declined.

Lin Jin: Let's talk about it after we've been busy for a while.

The other end kept showing that it was typing, and after typing for a while, Zhou Tiantian only replied with the word "OK".

Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Going to click on other messages, there were several messages from unfamiliar numbers lying in the inbox again, Lin Jin deleted them one by one with a sullen face, without even clicking on them to read them.

It wasn't until he turned to the bottom one that his movements froze suddenly. The first three words attracted all his attention. After a pause, he clicked in.

Strange number: Ye Ziyuan still doesn't know what happened in the third year of high school, right?You said, if I told him, what kind of reaction would he have?Um?

Lin Jin was like a bucket of cold water being poured from the head to the bottom, and his whole body was completely cold.

His hand holding the phone was trembling, and he managed to stand still. He sat down on the sofa, pointed his fingers, and typed several lines, all of which were deleted.

In the end, only a few words were sent out.

Lin Jin: What are you going to do?

The other party seemed to be guarding by the phone, and quickly replied.

Strange number: what am I going to do?Don't you know best what I want to do?

Unfamiliar number: Lin Jin, you fucked me up so badly back then, did you really think everything would be fine with Ye Ziyuan protecting you?If I don't get back what happened back then, my surname will not be Liu.

Unknown Number: Let's wait and see.

Lin Jin held the phone firmly in one hand, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. After a long time, he suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and typed a line of words with all his strength.

Lin Jin: Let's meet, the time is up to you.

If Liu Yan didn't mention Ye Ziyuan, Lin Jin might never want to have anything to do with him in this life, but Liu Yan is the one who can handle his pain best. He knows what Lin Jin is most afraid of, so he He was very good at dealing with Lin Jin.

And Lin Jin can ignore anything, and can gamble anything, but Ye Ziyuan, he doesn't want him to be threatened in the slightest.

Liu Yan is such a frenzied person, he knows better than anyone else that he can do anything.

God knows how much mental construction Lin Jin has done to sit in the private seat of the cafe.

He drank three or four cups of coffee before suppressing his nervousness a little. It was probably because he behaved a little strangely, and the waiter came to ask him several times.

"Sir, would you like something else to drink? We have..."

Lin Jin didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and saw Liu Yan in a formal suit striding towards here not far away, caught off guard, Lin Jin quickly interrupted her: "No need."

Liu Yan sat down directly in front of him, with a gentle and elegant appearance, but when he laughed, his heart rolled back and forth like a piece of ice.

"It's really hard to see you," Liu Yan crossed his arms around his chest, leaned back comfortably, and stared at him without moving, "Now Mr. Lin is well-developed, unlike before, he can see you whenever he wants. see."

Lin Jin clenched his teeth, feeling that every cell in his body was clamoring to run away, but for Ye Ziyuan, he still stayed.

The coffee in his hand was placed heavily on the table, and Lin Jin almost squeezed out a line between his teeth: "You should know the reason why I don't see you better than anyone else—tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do, Ajin, shouldn't you know better than anyone else?" In the last half of the sentence, Liu Yan's voice was soft and deliberately lowered, and he looked at him affectionately and ambiguously, "To be honest, don't you think Am I more suitable for you than Ye Ziyuan?"

As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the table, then suddenly moved forward and rested on the back of Lin Jin's hand.

The moment the other party approached, the cold touch made Lin Jin shrink back suddenly, avoiding him like a snake and scorpion like a conditioned reflex.

There was a loud noise as the chair rubbed against the ground, and it was obvious that he wanted to escape, but Liu Yan was not angry at all, instead, his eyes sparkled with interest.

That emotion is like a cat catching its own mouse, playing with it bit by bit.

Tortured but not killed.

Lin Jin knew that the current self was like meat on a chopping board.

Lin Jin took a deep breath, stared at him coldly for a while, and Liu Yan drank his coffee slowly without saying a word.

After a long time, Lin Jin said, "Do you want money, or something else?"

"Hey," Liu Yan sneered, "Am I short of money?"

He pointed forward abruptly at his neck, his pretentious gentleness was finally broken by himself, he shook the small spoon in the coffee cup: "Lin Jin, you are amazing, you have made my life miserable for so many years A man, you thought I would let you go so easily—it’s beautiful to think about it, just wait, no matter who is by your side in the future, whether it’s a man or a woman, I won’t make it easy for you!”

Liu Yan kicked the foot of the table and stood up, the coffee in his hand suddenly splashed forward.

"Clatter——" Lin Jin didn't even have time to react, and was splashed all over the face by the coffee that hadn't cooled down yet.

"This is just the beginning."

Liu Yan looked at him sullenly and said.

Lin Jin wiped off the coffee on his face, ignored the different eyes around him, and looked at him, but compared with Liu Yan, he seemed to be at a disadvantage, and he didn't even stand up to give Liu Yan this other counterattack.

"Fuck me!"

The sound that suddenly exploded in his ears made Lin Jin tremble all over, and the next second, a figure rushed over and pushed Liu Yan away.

The originally calm scene suddenly became chaotic.

Ke Zhun protected Lin Jin behind his back with one hand, and pointed at Liu Yan with the other: "Who the hell are you! Are you sick? Do you think you are a romantic second daughter?"

"Why are you here?" Lin Jin grabbed Ke Zhun's wrist and pushed him to sit down. "I'm fine. I will settle my grievances with him myself."

Liu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Compared with being pushed and shoved, he felt that Polin Jin made him so happy that he didn't care about it.

Ke Zhun was still thinking about it, but Lin Jin gritted his teeth and uttered a word: "Get lost."

Liu Yan smiled: "Then see you another day——"

"A Jin."
