Chapter 58 at a loss

After six years of separation, Lin Xing listened to Xu Xiwan's words, got in touch with the outside world, met more people, tried more new things, and his desire for her did not decrease at all. On the contrary, the more he knew about the world, the more Lin Xing became. Wanting to live by Xu Xiwan only, the outside world is colorful and rotten, Lin Xing only has Xu Xiwan in his heart.

Lin Xing stared at the study door for a long time, and when he was about to see a hole in the heavy door, he stood up slowly and went to the restaurant to make a cup of tea for Xu Xiwan.

All the furnishings were the same as before Lin Xing left home, even the types and arrangement of the tea leaves in the cupboard remained the same, Lin Xing was in a daze for a while, as if these six years did not exist at all, and she never left.

Prepare the tea leaves during the boiling water, wash the tea with the first water, pour it out, the second tea is too strong, not suitable for drinking at night, also pour it out, and it is not until the third tea that Lin Xing uses the teacup that Xu Xiwan is used to Fill it up and bring it to Xu Xiwan in the study on the second floor.

Except for Lin Xing, no one dared to disturb Xu Xiwan when she was working late. The door of her study room was knocked open again tonight after it had been silent for six years. Seeing through, he saw Lin Xing standing outside the door.

"Wanwan, I made you a cup of tea, can I come in?" Lin Xing asked.

Xu Xiwan listened to Lin Xing's voice through a door, nervous for no reason, corrected his sitting posture, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, cleared his throat, and said, "Come in."

Lin Xing pushed the door lightly and came in, put down the teacup with a smile, "I brewed a cup of Maojian for you, I haven't made tea for a long time, try it, see if it suits your taste."

Xu Xiwan remembered that six or seven years ago, when she was busy with work, Lin Xing did the same thing. She made a cup of hot tea and asked herself not to stay up late. She picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "You used to say that drinking green tea at night is not good. "

"I'm saying the same thing now, it's not good to drink green tea at night." Lin Xing moved a chair against the wall to the desk, she sat next to Xu Xiwan, propped her chin, looked at Xu Xiwan with a smile, "However, it's still early. Besides, this is the third tea, and it's not so strong. I'll make an exception today, and let you see if my craftsmanship has deteriorated."

Xu Xiwan took a sip lightly. In early autumn, because of this sip of hot tea, her whole body warmed up. She sighed in comfort, "I haven't regressed at all."

"That's good." Lin Xing smiled until his eyes rolled up.

Lin Xing left for six years, and Xu Xi didn't drink tea for six years later.No one can brew the taste of the cup of tea under Lin Xing's hand, no matter how fine the tea is, without Lin Xing, it would be tasteless to drink, so Xu Xiwan simply stopped drinking it.

"Huh? Is this the company's new product for next year?" Lin Xing's attention was attracted by the computer, he moved the chair a little, and moved closer to Xu Xiwan to have a look.

"Yes, the basic research and development has been completed. Only the power problem of the portable wireless charging has not been overcome. It is estimated that it will be put into testing next month. Let's see how it goes." Xu Xiwan never hides work matters from Lin Xing .

"I'm not from a technical background, so I don't understand this, but the wireless charging technology is immature, and now it's put on a new product, can it be mass-produced? Will there be any problems in the supply chain?" Lin Fortunately, he came from a supply chain background in the United States and was very sensitive to shipping issues. He raised his own concerns, "Xu's ship is too big, and it affects the whole body. A small problem may lead to huge hidden dangers. It really shouldn't be done with Those small and medium-sized enterprises also adopt such aggressive solutions.”

"I have thought about this for a long time, but you have been in the United States for a long time, and you don't know much about the domestic market. Now the domestic environment is highly competitive, the technology is updated too fast, and the competitiveness of new products is not strong enough. You will soon be eliminated and lag behind. A generation is falling behind every step of the way, and it is not six years ago, and conservatism is no longer in line with the times."

"It seems that I really stayed too|comfortable outside and didn't understand the current changes in China."

When talking about work, both of them became serious. Lin Xing told Xu Xiwan about the development of the American branch. Xu Xiwan listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two to explain the differences in China. The two workaholics , I forgot the time while chatting, Lin Xing saw it was only 08:30 in the evening a second ago, but when I noticed the time again, it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the cup of Maojian tea on the table was long gone It's hot.

"It's so late." Lin Xing smiled embarrassedly, "I just wanted to pour you a cup of tea, but I didn't expect it to delay your work."

"It's okay, you go to bed first."

"That can't be done. You have to work when you should work, and you have to sleep when you should sleep. You want to stay up late at night, don't you? Let me tell you, I'm back now. You used to stay up until any time. The days of indifference are coming to an end, hurry up, go to sleep." Lin Xing took Xu Xiwan's elbow, pulled her up from the desk, and pushed her out of the study room, "Go to sleep quickly, don't stay up late."

"Xiao Xing..."

"If you say you are not allowed to stay up late, you are not allowed to stay up late."

"Xiao Xing..."

"It's not negotiable."

"I didn't mean that." Xu Xiwan leaned against the wall and felt a little tired watching Lin Xing lock the study door. She pinched the bridge of her nose and said with a smile, "Xiao Xing, you really have grown up."

In the past, Lin Xing couldn't get involved in Xu Xiwan's work. Even though she had been an intern in the company since she was 16 and gradually understood the company's operations, she was too young, and with Xu Xiwan's blessing, she made progress. In fact, it was very slow. She didn't understand many things, and Xu Xiwan was not in a hurry to tell her.Today, six years later, Lin Xing has been able to stand in the perspective of a decision maker, raise her own concerns, and give Xu Xiwan useful work advice. Her growth rate is too fast, beyond Xu Xiwan's imagination.

This kind of rapid growth was completely carried out in a place that Xu Xiwan could not see. When Xu Xiwan realized it, Lin Xing had already become a person who could take charge of his own affairs. Much of it is a natural pride that Lin Xing is so outstanding, he is completely the best among his peers.

Of course, he must be excellent, and it only takes five years to be qualified for the position of vice president of the US region. Even with Xu Xiwan's secret help, Lin Xing's own efforts cannot be ignored.

So mature, except for his appearance, he can no longer see the shadow of that year.

Even her appearance has changed. The thin and frail young girl's figure has completely faded away. She is wearing a casual shirt and trousers. The belt outlines a lean and strong waist.

"Wanwan, why are you talking stupid now?" Lin Xing locked the study, approached Xu Xiwan, put the key in her breast pocket, looked up at her, and grinned white teeth, "Six years It's all over, if I don't grow up, am I a goblin?"

That smile showed a mouth full of small fangs, and one could vaguely see a bit of the playful appearance back then, which made Xu Xiwan laugh too, "You're right, you're 25 this year, you should grow up. "

And Xu Xiwan was already forty, when Lin Xing was in his prime, Xu Xiwan had already started to age.

"Do you know any friends you like in the United States?" Xu Xiwan asked innocently.

"If I say there is..."

Xu Xiwan's heart suddenly shrank.

"I lied to you." Lin Xing smiled slyly, "Wan Wan, you are really getting better and better at cheating now."

Under the light, Lin Xing's smile was vivid, and Xu Xiwan's heart palpited following her smile.

"Okay, go to sleep, you have to go to the company tomorrow." Lin Xing didn't seem to see Xu Xiwan's loss of consciousness for a moment, and pushed her back to his room, closed the door, but didn't leave immediately. Touching the door, rubbing her fingertips, recalling just now, when she put the key into Xu Xiwan's pocket, the hot touch on her chest that her fingers inadvertently touched.

Xu Xiwan only focused on Lin Xing and ignored this touch, but Lin Xing couldn't ignore it.

Warm and soft, Lin Xing almost couldn't restrain himself.

Fortunately, her concentration was much stronger than before, and she didn't show any inappropriateness in front of Xu Xiwan anymore, and didn't scare her away.

That night, Xu Xiwan suffered from insomnia. She remembered the words Lin Xing said to her before leaving home, "Wait for me to come back". , unable to sleep all night.

Lin Xing had just returned to China and was still in the stage of jet lag. Xu Xiwan didn't arrange work for her. It stands to reason that she should sleep a little longer in the morning, but she got up earlier than Xu Xiwan. After Xu Xiwan finished washing, she left the room. When he came out, Lin Xing was already reading the newspaper leisurely in the living room.

"Are you up? Come over and have breakfast." Lin Xing put down the newspaper and served Xu Xiwan porridge. Lin Xing and Xu Xiwan's tastes are a bit different. Lin Xing likes to drink porridge with a little taste, salty like fish Sliced ​​porridge, lean meat porridge, red bean porridge and millet porridge are preferred for sweet ones, while Xu Xiwan only likes to drink white porridge, which is the best if it is thick and dense, and the rice grains are boiled until they bloom.

Today's breakfast has such a bowl of fragrant glutinous white porridge with flowering rice grains. Xu Xi tasted the craftsmanship of the Xu family's cook at the first bite. "You made it?" She raised her eyes and asked Lin Xing.

"How about it, is it okay?" Lin Xing also served a bowl for himself, "When I lived alone, I ate canteen every day, either hamburger fries or raw vegetable salad, I was about to vomit, so Just learn to cook by yourself, does it suit your taste?"

Xu Xiwan said, "It's very delicious."

It was so delicious that her eyes were slightly red.

After breakfast, Lin Xing drove Xu Xi to work in the evening.

Lin Xing's driver's license was taken that year, and then he took the local driver's license test in the United States. After getting the driver's license, he has been driving to and from school by himself. After several years of driving experience, he ignites, starts, and backs the car out of the garage. It is smooth and natural, and the driving is also smooth and stable on the road. With Xu Xiwan in the car, she even brakes very slowly, which is not uncomfortable at all.Such proficient driving skills can be seen as a veteran, and Xu Xiwan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't accept it for a while.

In the past, Xu Xiwan was always the one who picked up Lin Xing. Xu Xiwan never thought that there would be a day when Lin Xing would pick him up.

Since Lin Xing came back, Xu Xiwan seems to miss the past too often. Xu Xiwan feels that he is old. Young people always look forward. Only old people can recall the previous stories so frequently.

After six years of separation, everything had to be adjusted again. Even a slight change by Lin Xing made Xu Xiwan at a loss. She was nearly forty years old, and no matter how well-maintained her appearance was, she was still a veritable old woman. She had accepted Lin Xing Xing's heart has begun to be unworthy of Lin Xing.
