Strangers Ten Years Later

The old city of Damascus still retains a lot of ancient Roman and Arab empire monuments. The old walls carrying the mottled years are entwined with extremely distinct colors when the sun pours down. On the narrow streets, there are women with stalls. Sitting on top of the ruins, looking at the distant sky, the sky is clearly divided into orange and gray colors, drawing a sharp dividing line.

This is what Lin Jin often sees after coming here for a few days.

Looking out of the window of the room he rented, it is not common to see gunpowder and smoke in the sky, but more people sitting on the ruins and roses blooming in the ruins.

He and Yu Yan live in the opposite door. Yu Yan's house was assigned by the higher-ups, and Lin Jinshi rented a room opposite her. The owner of the house is a woman in her forties. If it weren't for Yu Yan's proficient Arabic, Lin Jin felt that he might be full of lawsuits on the first day he arrived here.

Language barrier.

Although English is also spoken here, if you want to reach out to the people, you still have to speak Arabic.

The room is not big, one bedroom and one living room, but it is enough for Lin Jin.

In fact, most of the days he stayed here were boring, and sometimes he would even stroll casually on the street and talk to people about the wrong things, but what was rare was that his mood was much calmer.

Maybe it's because of the change of environment, so I won't continue to think about those annoying things in China.

When Yu Yan went out during the day, Lin Jin took Tongtong with him. The little girl was as obedient as ever, and she hardly caused trouble for Lin Jin.

After passing through the long and narrow street, there is a large rose field on the right side of the ruins. The little girl always likes to go there to see roses. Lin Jin spends a lot of time looking at roses every day.

On the third day after Lin Jin came to Syria, Xu Fangzhi arrived.

Only then did Lin Jin realize that the video that Xu Fangzhi had sent him before was actually taken from it. Only then did he understand Yu Yan's good intentions. Part of the co-authorship was for Tongtong, and the other part was for him and Xu Fang. .

Although Xu Fangzhi did not live in the same building as the two of them, in fact the distance was not far away.

The baby Tongtong is basically taken care of by Lin Jin and Xu Fangzhi.

The plan that Xu Fangzhi wanted was basically revised, and Xu Fangzhi's final payment was sent directly. Lin Jin now has a huge sum of money in his pocket, and he feels confident wherever he goes, plus the huge amount Su Zhongting left for him Inheritance, Lin Jin hardly has to worry about money for the rest of his life, and can concentrate on realizing his dreams.

But the more he was like this, the more he felt that life was empty and dull—what dream did he have?

The former dream was Ye Ziyuan, but now it is no longer.

Lin Jin was relieved to quit his job in China. He didn't want to rely on anyone's nepotism. Instead, it was because Xu Fangzhi's house was well received after the renovation. Lin Jin received a lot of foreign orders and became a Total freelancer.

Although life is dull, it is also quite fulfilling.

Xu Fangzhi often took him to buy flowers in the city of Damascus. When buying flowers, he would try to bargain with others. After the bargain was successful, Xu Fangzhi would give the other party the original price. Lin Jin didn't understand it at first, until Xu Fangzhi explained it to him.

"Life needs some sense of ritual." Xu Fangzhi handed him the rose in his hand, "Haggling is just a sense of ritual—but since I don't lack this little money, there's no need to take other people's life money away. "

Lin Jin nodded thoughtfully.

The relationship between him and Xu Fangzhi was getting closer and closer to an ambiguous period, Lin Jin didn't deliberately keep a distance anymore, and decided to let nature take its course.

But there are many secrets that Xu Fangzhi doesn't know about him, just like he doesn't know many secrets that belong to Xu Fangzhi.

After Lin Jin arrived in Syria for more than ten days, Xu Fangzhi took him to a nightclub in Damascus. It is said that there was a masquerade ball here. Weird color.

Xu Fangzhi has a few acquaintances who sit at the same table with them.

Sitting opposite Lin Jin was a girl dressed as Lolita. Looking at Lin Jin, she blinked seriously: "Boss Xu likes this type."

The others just laughed, Lin Jin felt embarrassed, so he got up and went to the toilet, squeezed for a long time without moving, but heard the girl continue to say: "After removing someone's love aura, the eyes are still quite normal. The one named Yang must not seduce him."

Lin Jin finally squeezed out, pretending not to hear.

He stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom before he felt relieved - the lively nightclub was incompatible with him and only made him feel depressed.

But today is Xu Fangzhi's birthday.

It's his birthday in a few days.

Lin Jin looked in the mirror and looked at his watch. The moment the pointer turned to zero, another year had passed, and the years had opened a new chapter. Lin Jin suddenly became a little worried about gain and loss.

The tangy smell of alcohol suddenly rushed into the neck, and Lin Jin shook his whole body. Not far away, a tall, blond man with blue eyes suddenly lay on his back, hugged him full of arms, and lowered his The voice has a greasy nausea: "Doyoulikeme?"

The other party said this, and before Lin Jin could answer, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his waist.

Lin Jin's mood suddenly exploded. The emotions that had been suppressed for so long suddenly collapsed at this moment. He turned his head and punched the man on the bridge of the nose.

Nosebleeds flowed from his nose in an instant, and the person in front of Lin Jin suddenly turned into Liu Yan. He couldn't control his movements, and punched him one after another, wishing to send this person into the [-]th floor of hell.

The man uttered screams and screams.

Lin Jin's rationality told him to stop, but he couldn't.

Until a hand grabbed him suddenly, and he was wrapped into a warm embrace, he was still struggling, trembling uncontrollably, and even tears fell down uncontrollably.

Xu Fangzhi gently wiped away the tears from his eyes: "Lin Jin? Be quiet, okay?"

His emotions gradually calmed down, he raised his head, touched Xu Fangzhi's gentle eyes, and suddenly felt that he was terribly ugly at this moment.

Naturally, a trip to the police station was unavoidable. Xu Fangzhi used some money and contacts to fish him out. The two of them walked in the wind in the middle of the night in Damascus.

Lin Jin separated Xu Fangzhi by a distance of two people.

It was Xu Fang who approached him little by little, and finally the two walked side by side.

"Sorry." Lin Jin finally said hoarsely, "I... can't control myself a little bit."

"It's okay." Although Xu Fangzhi knew some things about Lin Jin, he didn't know the general details, so he could only say pale comfort, "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize to me."

"Today's New Year's Eve should have been a good time." Lin Jin smiled wryly, feeling guilty.

Xu Fangzhi didn't speak any more, and patted him on the shoulder, giving him silent comfort.

He seems to be used to company.

And for so many years, what Lin Jin lacked the most was company.

On New Year's Day in China, almost no one had a peaceful life.

The Ye family was in a commotion, just because of Ye Ziyuan alone - he couldn't find anyone, so he didn't even care about his own injury, the festering worsened, the whole family of the Ye family persuaded and persuaded for him alone, In the end, he simply gave the order to die. There were several bodyguards at the door, and the ward was still on the seventh floor. He tried everything he could, but he couldn't escape.

It is necessary to recuperate well in this place.

Since he couldn't find Lin Jin more than ten days ago, Ye Ziyuan was in an extremely uncooperative and irritable state.

He called many people, during which time he left the hospital without authorization and went to Lin Jin's house, even looking for Su Hua.

But no one would tell his whereabouts.

And it was at this time that Ye Ziyuan truly realized his powerlessness——

No one would help him, without the aura of the Ye family, he couldn't even find a trace of a person.

It was only at this time that Ye Ziyuan was willing to admit that he was actually quite useless.

It was so useless that even Lin Jin couldn't find it.

He lost his message and was nearly insane.

When Ye Ziqin came in, Ye Ziyuan lay on the bed with an unshaven beard in a daze, looking out the window at all the bald tree branches, without moving a bit.

Ye Ziqin was so distressed that he sat down by the bed, his voice hoarse: "A Yuan, go and shave, it's so ugly."

Ye Ziyuan didn't move.

Ye Ziqin didn't speak, and the ward became deserted. It didn't know how long it took before Ye Ziyuan moved, looked at Ye Ziqin, and said, "Where's Lin Jin?"

"I don't know." Ye Ziqin sighed, "I really don't know, my brother won't let anyone check, and I haven't found anything."

"Why is he willing to leave?" Ye Ziyuan smiled suddenly, the depression in his eyes was glaring at the moment, his hands trembled slightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength to say such a sentence, "I thought... I thought We are about to reconcile, he treats me so well, cooks porridge for me, and feeds me... I thought we would be like before again. Sister, Lin Jin is really ruthless."

Ye Ziqin patted his head.

When Ye Ziyuan was speaking, he couldn't help but raised his hand and punched the hospital bed hard: "Why is Lin Jin so fucking heartless!"

There were injuries all over his body, all of which were accidentally left when he wanted to sneak out to find someone before, and the unhealed fist was smashed by him, and bloodstains were split open again, Ye Ziqin was so distressed that he could hardly breathe, and suddenly Standing up suddenly, he said, "Go find him."

Ye Ziyuan suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of light finally flashed in his pupils like a pool of stagnant water, and he stared at Ye Ziqin firmly.

Ye Ziqin said: "But you have to think clearly, you go, according to the character of the big brother, if you don't give in to him, he won't forgive you."

"You are injured and still have no money. This is not like before. I bet you that if you don't want to come back, there is really nothing behind you to rely on."

"I don't need to rely on anyone," Ye Ziyuan said, "I rely on myself."

Ye Ziqin sighed, and looked at him with complicated eyes: "You go."
