Chapter 51 Making Tea

Due to a hangover, when Lin Xing woke up the next morning, she had a splitting headache. She picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and looked at it. It was already past ten in the morning. The curtains were opened, and the hot morning sun rushed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows immediately. From darkness to light, Lin Xing couldn't adapt for a while. He squinted his eyes and raised his hand to block the strong light of the sun. It took several minutes to let it go slowly.

Yesterday... what happened?

Standing in front of the window, Lin Xing looked at the sparkling sea outside, racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't think of anything.Her last memory was only up to the brightly colored cocktail she drank in the bar last night, and the rest was blank, and then her memory suddenly came to this morning.

Didn't really do something out of the ordinary?Lin Xing was a little nervous. Thinking of this, she didn't dare to stay in the room anymore. She was going to go out and ask Xu Xiwan about it. Her thinking was simple. She was drunk last night, no matter what she said or did, then It's all drunken nonsense, stupid things, and Xu Xiwan probably wouldn't take it to heart.

Who knew that after leaving her room, only Xu Yiqing was bored in the living room, pressing the remote control to switch TV channels, Lin Xing looked around the living room but did not find Xu Xiwan's shadow.

"Yo, are you awake?" Xu Yiqing put down the remote control, stood up, and walked to the kitchen, "My sister said you were drunk last night, so let me stare at you for breakfast today, just right, I will use what you left over from yesterday I made some porridge with rice, would you like a bowl? But there are no side dishes to go with the porridge, why not mix some sugar into your porridge? It’s sweet and delicious.”

Lin Xing didn't care about what to eat for breakfast, besides, her hangover headache hadn't subsided, and she didn't have any appetite, so she just chased Xu Yiqing and asked, "Where's Wan Wan?"

"My sister didn't tell you? I thought she told you yesterday." Xu Yiqing was surprised, "She's gone. The plane at eight o'clock this morning left before dawn."

Lin Xing's pupils shrank, "Let's go? Where did you go?"

"Go back to China." Xu Yiqing said it as a matter of course, but she felt that Lin Xing's reaction was very inexplicable, "Sister said that there was an emergency in the company, and she hurriedly booked the fastest ticket, packed her luggage overnight and went back I guess I didn't sleep much all night."

But Lin Xing had a hunch that what happened to the company was simply an excuse used by Xu Xiwan to prevaricate.If something really happened to the company, Xu Xiwan would tell Lin Xing no matter how anxious she was, so that Lin Xing would not be worried. Before leaving, she would leave a note and send a text message. It would take less than a minute. , I left quietly by myself.

Lin Xing thought, probably he really did something too much last night to scare Xu Xiwan away, but Xu Xiwan ran away so suddenly, Lin Xing didn't even have a chance to explain, she didn't dare to delay, and also Checking the latest flight back home on the Internet, it was at three o'clock in the afternoon. Without any hesitation, she booked one directly, and called Xu Xiwan after booking.At this moment, Xu Xiwan must be on the plane, the phone cannot be connected, Lin Xing is anxious, the temperature of the air conditioner in the living room is turned on very low, she is still sweating.

"The porridge is ready, I'll mix some sugar for you, Xiao Xing, come over and eat while it's hot." Xu Yiqing was busy in the kitchen, not knowing what Lin Xing was struggling with in just a few minutes, and brought the hot porridge to the table , asked Lin Xing to come over for dinner, but Lin Xing ran into his room without looking back.

"I'm not going to eat, sister Xiaoqing, I'm packing my luggage now and going back to China in the afternoon."

"Going back after you've only been here for a day?" Xu Yiqing was puzzled, put down the porridge, and followed Lin Xing to her room, "Besides, you just decided to go back now, can you go through the formalities in time?"

"I'll talk about it at that time. Anyway, I have to pack my luggage first." Lin Xing messed up his clothes and stuffed them into the suitcase, "Sister Xiaoqing, I'm really sorry. I promised you to come out to play, but in the end I just If you leave after staying for a day, you won’t be able to enjoy yourself.”

"You don't have to worry about me." Xu Yiqing is very good at making friends. Even in a completely unfamiliar place, she can quickly make a few local friends, so even if she plays outside alone, she can still have fun. "On the contrary, it's you yourself. You have nothing to do. It's rare to come out. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"Anyway, I won't be here at night, so it doesn't make sense for me to stay here any longer."

Xu Yiqing's heart shuddered after hearing Lin Xing's words.She recalled all the things Lin Xing and Xu Xiwan got along with during this period, as well as the strange feeling she felt between Xu Xiwan and Lin Xing, and her expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

Xu Yiqing grabbed Lin Xing's arm where she was packing up and stopped her movement.

"Sister Xiaoqing, what's the matter?" Lin Xing stopped, looked at her and asked.

"Yes." Xu Yiqing looked serious.

"If you have anything to say, hurry up and don't delay me packing up."

"Lin Xing, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and my sister, are you..." Xu Yiqing fell silent after saying this.

It is against social morality for an adult to fall in love with a girl he raised. Even Xu Yiqing, who has an open personality like Xu Yiqing, would find it hard to talk about it.

Lin Xing was stunned for half a second, then his expression remained normal.She shook off Xu Yiqing's holding hand, continued to pack her luggage, and smiled nonchalantly, "That's right, I just like Wanwan, so what?"

"Xiao Xing..." Xu Yiqing couldn't digest this fact for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, she said with difficulty: "What do you like? You know, there are many kinds of likes. At your age, it may not be enough. Distinguishing the different meanings of liking..."

"My age?" Lin Xing sneered, "How old am I? Sister Xiaoqing, I forgot every night, did you forget too? I am already an adult with full capacity for civil conduct. I am responsible for my own behavior and feelings, not the child you say."

The more she talked, the more annoyed she became. Xu Xiwan was like this, and Xu Yiqing was like this. Isn't she looking forward to growing up so much to prove to Wanwan that she is completely responsible for her love for her?In the end, even when they were old enough to take responsibility, one or two of them still only regarded her as a child, "Sister Xiaoqing, in your eyes, I am just someone who can't grow up, doesn't know my feelings, and can't tell the difference." Are you a fool who cares about love and affection?"

"That's not what I meant..." Xu Yiqing had never seen Lin Xing get so angry, and she didn't know what to say for a while, "How should I put it, it's completely normal that you like my sister, although it is morally possible It will attract a lot of criticism, but there is nothing wrong with the law, but you know where my sister is standing, a pack of wolves are watching, if she is really with you, you will only receive more comments Not less, those people may not dare to say it directly in front of my sister, but it may be so ugly to say it behind the scenes, have you ever thought about it? Lin Xing, you are the only one, can you withstand such pressure?"

Lin Xing said: "As long as Wanwan is not afraid of me, I am not afraid. Sister Xiaoqing, except for Wanwan, I don't care what anyone in the world thinks of me." It's a joke, let others say what they like, this kind of thing Lin Xing I figured it out as early as 16 years old. The mouth grows on other people. Without this, they still have other tongues to chew on. Feng Yu’s words back then were right, unless they live in a vacuum world and don’t talk to anyone Contact, otherwise people will always find an entry point to insult and laugh at you, so why should they care what they are scolding.

Xu Yiqing really didn't expect Lin Xing to say such words, she thought, time flies so fast, as if that immature and cute little girl was still standing in front of her, tiptoeing the ice cream to herself to eat, in a blink of an eye, Lin Xing Xing has grown into an open-minded adult who can take responsibility for his actions.

"You are right, Xiao Xing, you are already an adult, the matter between you and my sister should only follow your own wishes, and I have no right to interfere." Xu Yiqing sighed, "But you are right My sister's feelings, does she know?"

For more than ten years, Xu Xiwan has never had a caring person by her side who knows the cold and the hot. She stands on a lonely peak, the height is extremely cold, and no one dares to approach her. Xu Yiqing has been very worried about Xu Xiwan in the past few years.

Now that I heard Lin Xing's confession to herself, I recalled Xu Xiwan's love for Lin Xing over the years, especially now, the relationship between them is quite weird. In the past, Xu Yiqing was just suspicious. Until today, she knew about Lin Xing. It's only now that I understand what Xu Xiwan means. Is it true that Xu Xiwan has never met a suitable person for so many years?I'm afraid she has been waiting for Lin Xing to grow up.

Lin Xing was confidently saying "I'm not afraid" one second ago, but when he heard Xu Yiqing's soul-piercing question the next second, he froze all of a sudden, and the movement of rolling up the clothes in his hands was much slower, and he said dejectedly, "I don't know .”

"I don't know? What does this mean?"

"Looking at Wanwan's emotional changes, she should like me too, but no matter how I hint at her, she doesn't seem to be moved. I don't know what she is thinking. And..."

Xu Yiqing was still waiting for Lin Xing's next words, seeing Lin Xing shut up, she immediately asked: "And?"

"And I probably did something really bad to her yesterday and scared her away."

"What could it mean? Don't you know what you do yourself?"

"I'm not drunk." Lin Xing was extremely annoyed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't be able to drink that glass of wine. Who would have thought that such a sweet glass of wine would have such a strong drink, and he would drink it directly for Lin Xing. It's broken, and until now she can't remember what happened last night.

Shouldn't...

A bad premonition rose in Lin Xing's heart, maybe he would be drunk and messy|sex, what would you give Wanwan to?

No, no, Lin Xing shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of his terrible thoughts, no, he is definitely not such a careless person, besides, even if he wants to force it, he has to fight too late Only late.

Could it be that you love me and I wish it will happen when conditions are ripe?

It's even more impossible!If you love me, why run at night?At this moment, the two of them have already been lying on the bed, and Xu Xiwan's sex is very familiar with Gelin, so he definitely can't do the trick of wearing pants and denying people.

Why did you run away that night?

Lin Xing couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask her directly after returning home.

……

Lin Xing got on the plane back to China as she wished, and she spent this Mid-Autumn Festival on the plane.

Xu Xiwan said that when the moon is full, people are reunited. Lin Xing thought that he and Xu Xiwan would be reunited every year like this. Who knew that such an accident would happen to her this year.

But don't be afraid, if this year can't catch up, there will be next year, the year after, and the year after... She and Wanwan still have such a long future, but it's just a missed year, so there's nothing to worry about.Lin Xing comforted herself like this in her heart, but her heart was still pounding, and she couldn't stop no matter how relaxed she was. She was restless, as if something big was about to happen.

The flight was eleven hours in total. Due to the time difference, Lin Xing got off the plane at [-]:[-] p.m. She didn't tell Xu Xiwan about her sudden return to China. Presumably, Xu Yiqing told Xu Xiwan, because Lin Xing had already gotten off the plane when she got off the plane. Xu Xiwan sent someone to pick her up.

But when Lin Xing went back, Xu Xiwan was not there. She asked the housekeeper where Xu Xiwan had gone. The housekeeper said that she was going out to deal with some urgent matters, so she changed planes at the airport and did not return to Jinling.

Lin Xing was a little uncertain whether Xu Xiwan was hiding from her or if she was really on business. She asked the housekeeper about how many days Xu Xiwan would be going. I made several phone calls and left messages on WeChat, but Xu Xiwan didn't answer the phone calls or reply to WeChat messages, so Lin Xing had no choice but to inquire about Xu Xiwan's situation through Xue Qushuang.

Fortunately, Xue Qushuang was able to get through on the phone. Lin Xing asked her if she knew where Xu Xiwan was, and why she didn't reply to the message.

"Oh, senior sister and I are both out of town." Xue Qushuang said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "The sub-brand of the branch office has just become independent, and the supplier has a little trouble, and people from both sides have been negotiating. Senior sister, she probably doesn't have time to look at her phone."

Hearing what Xue Qushuang said, Lin Xing felt more at ease, "I was scared to death, I thought something happened to you."

"What could happen to me and my senior sister?" Xue Qushuang said in a relaxed tone, "There is another meeting, hang up, don't worry, we will probably be busy for a few more days, and we may not have time to answer the phone."

"I see, Sister Xue, I feel more at ease with you here, so I'll hang up."

"Okay, goodbye." Xue Qushuang hung up the phone, and then looked at Xu Xiwan, who had been silent all this time.

Xu Xiwan had no expression on his face, but his eyes were dim, and he was unconsciously turning the signature pen in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The call is from Xiao Xing." Xue Qushuang said.

Xu Xiwan didn't speak.

"Why, did Xiao Xing upset you?" Xue Qushuang asked tentatively.

Xu Xiwan still didn't answer.

Xue Qushuang only regarded her as acquiescing, and persuaded: "Xiaoxing is just now, and she is still on the tail of puberty, why are you angry with her? It's normal for a girl of this age not to listen to adults, if you can tolerate it, please tolerate it." .”

Xue Qushuang was very curious. If Xu Xiwan loved Lin Xing, he was really pampered in his hands, and he was almost picking up the stars and the moon. After so many years of pampering, Lin Xing did something out of the ordinary. To make Xu Xiwan so angry that he wouldn't even answer her phone?

The signature pen in Xu Xiwan's hand stopped spinning, and she slapped it on the desk with her backhand.

"You're right, she's eighteen." Xu Xiwan nodded slightly, "It's because I don't want to accept the reality, and I still treat her like a child."

Listening to the meaning of the words... Xue Qushuang asked curiously: "Why, could it be that she has a boyfriend?"

If this is the case, then it makes sense, the little baby I spoiled with one hand, hadn't been by my side for a few days, suddenly a brat came, and the little baby ran away with him, and couldn't even be dragged. Come back, let alone Xu Xiwan who dotes on Lin Xingruly, even a normal person would not be able to accept this matter.

Xu Xiwan shook his head, not intending to continue the question with Xue Qushuang, "Forget it, tell me about the case again."

"Ok."

The two began to talk about work, putting Lin Xing's matter aside for the time being.

Lin Xing was full of words in his heart, and wanted to wait for Xu Xi to come back to ask her, but this wait was for a week. This week, Lin Xing went to school and went to the company for an internship as usual. He was busy during the day and didn't think there was anything wrong. Back at Xu's house alone, Xu Xiwan and Xu Yiqing were not there, she was the only one living in the empty main house, and her heart was also empty.

When Xu Xiwan was there before, even though one of their rooms was on the farthest east and the other was on the farthest west, knowing Xu Xiwan was there, Lin Xing felt at ease after such a distance, unlike now, Lin Xing Insomnia all night long, facing the empty house, unable to fall asleep for a minute.

She really wanted to call Xu Xiwan, even to hear her voice, but Xue Qushuang said that Xu Xiwan was very busy now, and Lin Xing couldn't distract her because of her selfishness.

Xu Xiwan had been away for half a month, and when he came back, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the waist-tight suit that was originally well-fitting seemed a bit empty.

It happened to be dinner time when she arrived at Xu's house, and the assistant had already sent her itinerary to the butler. Lin Xing also knew that she was coming back today, and had been standing at the gate of Xu's house waiting for her.

Lin Xing stretched his neck eagerly, as if afraid of missing Xu Xiwan.

Half an hour passed, and there was no car on the road. Lin Xing looked around for a long time, and his neck was sore. Just as he wanted to pinch his neck, Xu Xiwan's car appeared in his field of vision. At first it was just a dot, but later he could see The silhouette of the car got bigger and bigger until it stopped in front of Lin Xing.

"Wanwan!" Before the car stopped, Lin Xing opened the back door and got in. She and Xu Xiwan hadn't seen each other for half a month. In half a month, they didn't even make a phone call. This was an unprecedented experience. It also brought unprecedented miss. Lin Xing's gaze was almost greedily tracing Xu Xiwan's body up and down, his eyes were hot and earnest, as if he wanted to engrave Xu Xiwan in his mind. Finally, Lin Xing's heart ached After a while, "Wan Wan, you've lost a lot of weight."

She wanted to wrap her arms around Xu Xiwan's as usual, but Xu Xiwan pulled out her arm and avoided it.

"I've been busy with work recently, so there's nothing I can do." Xu Xiwan's expression was natural, nothing unusual at all, Lin Xing almost thought that her twitching her arm was just his own illusion.

"No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to diet and rest. You still talk about me all the time. Isn't it like this yourself? How can you make people feel at ease." Lin Xing was already a little concerned about Xu Xiwan's actions in his heart, But Xu Xiwan's behavior was so natural that Lin Xing couldn't find a point to attack, and deliberately ignored the discomfort in his heart, and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, I asked the kitchen to cook a pot of ginseng chicken soup , you can eat more later in the evening to replenish your nutrition."

"Yeah. By the way, how are you guys doing at the beach?"

"Sister Xiaoqing is so happy that she doesn't want to go home. After playing for two weeks, she still doesn't want to come back. I still have to go to school, so I came back early alone."

"Oh."

After that, the atmosphere in the car became a little awkward, and neither of them spoke again.

This weird atmosphere continued to the dinner table

Xu Xiwan and Lin Xing have never had a meal without eating and sleeping. They always say what they want to say. As long as the two of them eat, the dinner table will not be too deserted. But today, Xu Xiwan only concentrates on During the meal, he didn't want to talk about any topic with Lin Xing at all, Lin Xing started a topic, Xu Xiwan only asked Lin Xing and she answered, and when Lin Xing didn't ask, she didn't say anything.

After dinner, Xu Xiwan said that he still had a job, and went into the study alone. After thinking about it, Lin Xing felt that Xu Xiwan's behavior was not quite right, so he made a cup of tea for Xu Xiwan and brought it into the study. , taking advantage of the tea delivery time, asked her: "Wanwan, is there something on your mind?"

"No." Xu Xiwan put aside the tea leaves lightly, took a sip, and laughed, "I've drank so many teas outside, but I always don't have the fragrance of the tea made by Xiaoxing."

Lin Xing only thought Xu Xiwan was weird, and was delighted by Xu Xiwan's compliment, "Hey, of course." She walked around the desk, trying to hug Xu Xiwan's shoulder from behind, but Xu Xi Wan dodged and dodged, leaving Lin Xing in emptiness with a stunned expression.

Soon, the corners of Lin Xing's mouth slowly rolled down, and a lot of grievances gathered in his eyes, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Wanwan, did I do something to make you angry?"

Xu Xiwan's heart skipped a beat, and he recalled the words Lin Xing said while lying on his back when he was drunk that day.

Lin Xing said that every time Xu Xiwan got angry with her, she would feel pain in her heart.

Thinking of this sentence, Xu Xiwan felt a pain in his heart.

"No." Xu Xiwan said, "You performed very well."

"You are talking nonsense. You are obviously avoiding me. I felt it as soon as you came back. Wanwan, was it when I was drunk at the beach, did I say or do something that offended you? Lin Xing became anxious, "That's all drunken nonsense, don't take it seriously, look at what I said and did that day, even I don't remember it myself, can you forget it too?" She said at the end , almost pleading.

Xu Xiwan took a deep look at her and smiled lightly, "That day you fell asleep when you were so drunk, you didn't say anything nonsense, and I wanted to take this opportunity to hear your secret, who knew that you had a tight mouth and slept so well. Very heavy, not a single secret revealed."

"Wan Wan, since I was a child, I only have one secret for you." Lin Xing looked at her seriously, "If you want to know, I'll tell you now."

The look in his eyes was decisive, Xu Xiwan panicked for a moment, but his face still looked like nothing happened, "Forget it, you are too old, your secret should only belong to you, don't let me know."

"You are eighteen, and you should be independent." Xu Xiwan murmured, not knowing who he was speaking to.

Lin Xing narrowed his eyes, with a hint of bad feeling, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing."
