Three years later. J City, USA.

In the general manager's office, Song Yan is having a remote video conversation with Song Huaiji.

Although the distance from the United States to China is just a flick of time for Song Huaijin, as an indigenous inhabitant of the "Zero Realm", Song Yan is still more accustomed to using remote video, rather than frequently carrying his wheelchair. space transfer.

About the scientific research and charitable project plans for the next quarter, that's about it," Song Yan closed the folder in her hand and looked up at Song Huaijin, "Do you have any comments? "

Song Huaiji nodded and said, "I don't have any opinion, you can decide."

Song Yan slandered expressionlessly: No problem, you still ask me to report to you in advance every time. If I want to fool you, it will not be a matter of minutes.

"By the way," Song Huaijin suddenly remembered something, "Ke Mei asked me to bring you a message, saying that Xia Lin will be the representative of the master students of University B in two days to exchange and study in City F, and let me inform you."

Song Yan was startled.

Song Huai said, "F city and J city shouldn't be too far apart, right?"

Song Yan showed a slightly mocking smile: "What do you mean by telling me this news?"

It doesn't make any sense," Song Huaiji spread his hands, "Ke Mei asked me to convey it, and I just conveyed it. "

Song Yan "..."

At this time, someone knocked lightly outside the door, and Song Yan said, "I still have something to do, so hang up first." Then she cut off the call.

After a while, Song Yan's personal assistant pushed the door and came in, holding a file bag in his hand, and handing it to Song Yan: "Boss, this is the material for this month.

Song Yan took the document bag and saw the assistant standing still, so he couldn't help looking up at him: "What?"

"Boss, there is news from China that Ershao Xia seems to be investigating anonymous donations in Zilin Village recently."

The "Second Master Xia" the assistant said was Xia Lin.

In those days, a mudslide occurred in Zilin Village, and although no one was killed, the only scenic spot they depended on for their survival, the Shanjian Waterfall, was in a complete mess. In addition, the mudslide rushed to the edge of the village, causing traffic jams. In recent years, there were almost no tourists. I am willing to go there. The villagers of Zilin Village are already struggling, and now it is even more difficult to sustain basic living security.

Although Song Yan is abroad, he has secretly paid attention to the post-disaster reconstruction of Zilin Village. Although the local government has allocated a sum of money, most of the infrastructure is spent, and the quality of life of the villagers has not improved much. s help.

The Song Group originally had a charitable investment plan in this area, but the shareholders were too utilitarian. Seeing that Zilin Village almost lost investment space in tourism, they voted against each other. Song Yan was too lazy to talk to the old shareholders of these groups. They thought about it and simply allocated a sum of money from several new-generation companies under their own name to donate to Zilin Village, but they did not want their personal property to surface prematurely, so they made an anonymous donation.

He did this from the bottom of his heart, and he never thought about what he would ask for in return. He donated for three consecutive years without causing any trouble. He didn't expect that it would attract Xia Lin's attention three years later.

He didn't know why Xia Lin wanted to investigate this matter, but he had a clear conscience and said to his assistant, "If he wants to investigate, let him investigate."

The assistant nodded, turned and walked out

Then Song Yan looked down at the document bag in his hand, which contained the photos that Xia Lin was followed for this month.

The photographer kept a very safe distance and did not disturb Xia Lin or violate Xia Lin's **.

At first, he sent people to follow Xia Lin secretly, just to make sure that there were no Song Huaiji around Xia Lin, but over the years Song Huaiji kept his word and never bothered to find Xia Lin again, even Ke Mei was apprenticing in Xia Lin. After the end, he gradually quit Xia Lin's social circle, but Song Yan gradually developed the habit of seeing Xia Lin's recent photos every month to feel at ease.

In the past, Xia Lin always liked to be alone, but in the past month or two, a young and handsome man began to appear beside him.

In one of the photos, Xia Lin was walking in front, and the man followed closely behind, with a pair of eyes looking at Xia Lin eagerly.

Song Yan stared at the photo for a while, then took out her phone and called the assistant.

"Go check the man in the photo."

Before Song Yan finished speaking, the assistant said, "I have checked, that person's name is Liang Jinhui, who is four years younger than Xia Ershao. He is Xia Ershao's junior in University B, and he is still in his third year."

"" Pursue Xia Lin? "

"It seems to be, but it's more obscure. It should be still in the tentative stage. Ershao Xia has not responded yet."

"Does Xia Lin's family know about this?"

"I haven't seen the Xia family intervene yet. It must be Xia Ershao who doesn't want the family to know."

The assistant paused, seeing that Song Yan did not give any instructions for the next step, so he asked, "Boss, need me..."

"No need," Song Yan sighed inaudibly, "Let's observe it for a while, if Xia Lin also..."

He didn't say any more.

If Xia Lin is also interested in that person, what position does he have to interfere?

After hanging up the phone, Song Yan flipped through a few more photos. There was almost a shadow of Liang Jinhui on each photo. He patiently flipped to the end, and finally irritably scattered the photos on the ground, then closed his eyes and leaned heavily against him. On the back of the chair, he let out a sigh of relief.

After a while, the phone beeped a WeChat alert tone.

Song Yan picked up her phone and looked at it. It was a WeChat message from Xia Lin: [I will go to F city the day after tomorrow. 】

Song Yan looked at the few words, and the sullen mood disappeared immediately, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

Although he already knew about this from Song Huai's mouth, he still pretended not to know and asked, "What are you going to do?" 】

Xia Lin: [Exchange learning. 】

Song Yan: [Are you a master student representative? very impressive. 】

Xia Lin sent a smile.

Song Yan: [Pay attention to safety on the road. 】

Xia Lin: [Understood. 】

The two were speechless for a while.

Song Yan knew that Xia Lin sent this WeChat to meet him, but he couldn't see him.

He didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Xia Lin couldn't say anything.

After a while, Xia Lin asked again: [How is your health recently? 】

Song Yan subconsciously touched his leg that was still unconscious, and replied without changing his face: [Just like that, there is no problem with walking and running in normal times, but it is a little uncomfortable when it rains. 】

Xia Lin: [It's good to be able to recover like this, don't exercise too much, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. 】

Song Yan: [Okay, Doctor Xia.

Xia Lin: [Looking at the photos you posted on Weibo recently, why do you feel your belly is getting bigger? 】

Song Yan: [Really? Then I should reduce my belly (crying)]

Xia Lin: [If you are fat, it means you have a good diet. 】

Song Yan opened his Weibo account "Endless" and uploaded some photos that had been photoshopped by professionals. The face was Song Yan's own, but the body was a substitute.

Recently, the stand-in didn't manage his body well, his belly was round, and when P put it on Song Yan, his face and body seemed a little out of tune.

Since he came to the United States, Xia Lin has been asking about his rehabilitation progress almost every month. In order to reassure Xia Lin, Song Yan lied to him that he had improved significantly.

He knew that Xia Lin would pay attention to his trumpet Weibo, so he would upload a few "recent photos" on Weibo every month to temporarily clear the lie.

But this also became the main reason why Song Yan did not dare to meet Xia Lin.

Since the first lie was uttered, more lies must be used to make up for it, so far, Xia Lin has come to the United States but cannot meet.

But at least, Xia Lin has gradually let go of his guard, and he is willing to talk to him like an ordinary friend, and he will also send concern and greetings during the holidays.

Song Yan told himself that he couldn't be too greedy. He should be content with chatting with Xia Lin every now and then.
