Chapter 32
Back at Shayang Bay, Lin Shu finally got a good night's sleep, not the kind of closed eyes when he was tired, but a deep sleep to recharge his batteries.
Hearing that he had returned to City S, Gao Jingge hurried to Shayang Bay, insisting on checking his condition, those who didn't know thought he was missing arms and legs.
When Gao Jingge saw Sheng Jing, his reaction was similar to that of Bian Xinglan, except that his eyes were not so wide open.
But Xie Yi was different, he put all his thoughts on the surface, and almost pointed at Sheng Jing and exclaimed, making a fuss.
"Jing Ge, he will be my life assistant during the winter vacation. If you get him an internship certificate, the salary will be 5% of your monthly salary." Lin Shu did not forget Sheng Jing's request.
"Understood." Gao Jingge winked at Xie Yi, Xie Yi pouted, reluctantly dragging Sheng Jing out.
Lin Shu knew what Gao Jingge wanted to ask, so he didn't hide it, and admitted generously, "I originally wanted to find a substitute, but I found that no one could replace him, so I decided to try to be a good person first."
These words were Lin Shu's sincere thoughts, but the process was abbreviated, so Gao Jingge couldn't quite understand it.
"Be a good person?" Gao Jingge has followed Lin Shu for many years and has seen a lot. She doesn't think that there are absolutely good people in this world, and she is even more surprised that Lin Shu has such an idea.
Are you so surprised?
Lin Shu coughed lightly, and explained, "I want to try to be a good person in his eyes."
It is self-evident who this "he" is.
In the past few months, Lin Shu has lost a lot of weight, and his appearance is haggard, but now his eyes are bright. Although he is still very thin, his energy and spirit have been raised.
It was hard for Gao Jingge to believe that Qin Yuchi could have such a great magical power, which could not only make Lin Shu numb from pain, but also easily bring Lin Shu back to happiness.
It's like...a candy with half poison and honey, it hurts when you eat the poison, but you don't want to throw it away.
"Then what are you going to do?" Gao Jingge asked tentatively.
Lin Shu didn't think about this question carefully, and couldn't answer it for a while, so he just let Qin Yuchi out of the small dark room quietly.
"I don't know, just... don't be so aggressive with him, next time we meet." Lin Shu scratched his hair, a little embarrassed.
"Then invest in a few literary films..." Lin Shu said subconsciously, but stopped in the middle of speaking.
Why did he fall into this vicious circle again?
Just because he guessed that Qin Yuchi likes niche movies, he can't give away movie resources in this life.
Qin Yuchi is obviously an excellent actor, and he can get the scenes he wants, why is he always so arrogant and insists on meddling?
Lin Shu patted his forehead, regretting that he almost made another mistake.
Gao Jingge had never seen him in such a predicament, and was even more shocked.
Before the late autumn of last year, Lin Shu had always been a decisive person, but her living habits were irregular, like a child, and she needed her supervision.
"Lin Shu, do you really like him?" Gao Jingge asked for confirmation.
Lin Shu avoided Gao Jingge's gaze, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded slightly.
Gao Jingge sighed softly, "Okay, I see."
Only such a cold sentence?Don't have any other questions?
Lin Shu squinted his eyes and glanced at Gao Jingge, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
"No," Gao Jingge said blankly, "It's as long as you feel happy."
Lin Shu knew that when Gao Jingge had no expression, she was already very unhappy. It was probably because she didn't like Qin Yuchi, because of what happened at Ge Shamei Island last time, and his state of life and death some time ago.
"Okay," Lin Shu coughed in embarrassment, and changed the subject, "Then... have you been in love recently? Or a sexual partner or something?"
Hearing this, Gao Jingge raised her eyebrows, her eyes were wider than when she saw Sheng Jing.
"No!" Gao Jingge finally had an expression, his face was a little sullen, his cheeks were blushing strangely, and he hurriedly denied it.
Lin Shu just asked casually, but Gao Jingge didn't expect such a big reaction.
"If you don't have one, then there won't be one," Lin Shu pouted, "Why are you so excited?"
Gao Jingge was silent for a moment, and pinned the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, with an unnatural expression on her face, "I'm going first, remember to send me a message every morning and evening to report that I'm safe."
There is a situation!How dare Gao Jingge hide it from him?
Lin Shu observed Gao Jingge's expression secretly, and already guessed in his heart, "Got it."
Gao Jingge walked away quickly as if fleeing.
When Sheng Jing returned to the room, Lin Shu ordered: "You go to Xie Yi and ask him to secretly observe who Jing Ge has been in contact with recently."
On the second day of trying to be a good person, Lin Shu released Qin Yuchi from the small dark room.
On the third day, Lin Shu secretly clicked on Moments and Weibo to see if there was any news about Qin Yuchi.
On the fourth day, Lin Shu went out, went to the VR game hall with Mi Cheng, took several photos and sent them to Moments.
But on the sixth day, Qin Yuchi neither liked or commented on his circle of friends, nor sent him a message.
Could it be that if he told Qin Yuchi to go away that day, did Qin Yuchi really obediently go away?
Didn't Qin Yuchi also say "I hope to see you next week"?
Lin Shu felt very itchy, like a cat's paws were scratching lightly. He was obviously restless and restless, but there was also a strange sense of anticipation and joy, which was very contradictory.
Is it normal to feel like this when you like someone?
Lin Shu was a little puzzled. He obviously didn't feel this way in his last life, so how could he feel it now?Is it because he has become a coward in this life?
Lin Shu couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to drive to the nightclub just before nightfall.
Today is a working day, there are not many people in the nightclub, and the area at the bar is even more clean, almost no one is there.
Seeing Lin Shu, the bartender asked in surprise, "Hey, you're so happy, what happened? Did you really think the stand-in was a white-moonlight/muse?"
Lin Shu turned to Byakugan and asked for a non-alcoholic drink, "No. I figured it out. I'm going to overthrow everything, start from scratch, and be a good person again."
Lin Shu's words were cloudy, but the bartender had explained countless customers, and he didn't show any doubts. He followed his words and asked, "Then what troubles do you have to solve?"
"I seem to be too aggressive and scared him away. He doesn't look for me now, and he doesn't like my circle of friends." Lin Shu said with an embarrassed expression.
this one?
The bartender suspected that Lin Shu had never been in a relationship, "He may be busy, I don't even look at Moments when I'm busy during holidays."
Qin Yuchi was filming "Wind Bell Letter", maybe because he was busy, he really didn't see it.
Lin Shu nodded and asked again: "If he doesn't send me a message, I feel itchy in my heart. It's not sad, it's just weird. Is this normal?"
Hearing this, the bartender finally confirmed that Lin Shu had never been in a normal relationship, "If he doesn't take the initiative to look for you, you will be irritable. But you can't help but watch his movements, as long as you fantasize about him suddenly appearing in front of you, you willFeeling numb in your heart?"
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows, was stunned for a moment, and nodded in surprise.
The bartender spread his hands, and the European-style false eyelashes flickered on his eyes, "It's normal, it happens to anyone in love, why do you think it's abnormal?"
why......
Lin Shu carefully recalled that maybe it was because the former Qin Yuchi had to reply to his messages. Whenever the show was over, Qin Yuchi had to check his phone first, even if he was a few minutes late, otherwise he would lose his temper.
Lin Shu's face became visibly depressed, and the bartender immediately snapped his fingers a few times to recall Lin Shu's wandering thoughts.
"Didn't you say to start from scratch? Why are you sad again?" the bartender asked.
Lin Shu nodded and quickly adjusted his mood.
Now that nothing has happened, there are countless changes he could make.
"I see, then I will wait patiently for a few more days." Lin Shu took a few deep breaths, and was ready to leave after getting the solution.
"Wait a minute," the bartender stopped, "If he doesn't look for you again, are you going to wait like this forever?"
Qin Yuchi never looked for him again?!
Lin Shu was a little dazed, he had always believed in Qin Yuchi's "see you next time", but he forgot that this sentence might just be a polite farewell.
"Then what should I do?" Lin Shu asked.
"You have to take the initiative to test him out. These scumbags all need hints, understand?" the bartender said in a sophisticated manner.
"How do I test it?" Lin Shu asked again.
The bartender didn't expect Lin Shu to be so dishonest, so he stretched out his palm, "Here's your phone, open WeChat."
Lin Shu was dubious, and handed over the phone.
The bartender clacked the screen with his long-nailed fingertips, and the bartender took a picture of the bottle on the bar.
"Choose him and your mutual friends will be visible." The bartender returned the phone.
The bartender not only provided a picture, added the location of the nightclub, but also added a line of words: "Lonely night, you need someone to accompany you."
"How could I post something like this!" Lin Shu frowned tightly.
"You can just choose a few people to see it, and it's not for you to make it public for everyone to see."
The bartender said: "If he comes to you, it means he really likes you; if he just calls and asks you to go home, it means he cares about you, but there is something that he can't come; if nothing happens, then you can'tgone."
"But..." Lin Shu said struggling, "He's not in City S, so it's impossible for him to come."
"No conflict, you can try the remaining two possibilities." The bartender shrugged.
The heart is crispy and numb.
According to what the bartender said just now, Lin Shu knew that he was unconsciously looking forward to it again.
Lin Shu clicked impatiently, "Can only he see it? I don't want my friends to see it."
"No, if no one else comments and likes, he will know that your post is only visible to him, and your tentative thoughts will be exposed!" The bartender said in a serious tone.
Lin Shu sighed annoyedly, looked left and right, but still couldn't accept these words, changed it to "It's delicious, I'm treating you" and sent it out.
Once the post was over, Lin Shu waited restlessly, refreshing the news from time to time to see if Qin Yuchi had commented.
The phone vibrated, Bian Xinglan and Tao Xiaotian both liked it, but Qin Yuchi didn't move.
Lin Shu waited patiently for another half an hour, but Qin Yuchi still remained silent, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Lin Shu's anxiety was written all over his face, and the bartender clicked his tongue twice, "Your words are too vague, who can understand?"
Lin Shu pursed his lips, staring fixedly at the screen. Just as he was about to delete the repost, a familiar scent suddenly rushed over, mixed with all kinds of wine smells, and it flowed into his breath so clearly.
His fingers froze, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Lin Shu sniffed it calmly, then turned around and stood up, looking at the door of the nightclub.
There was no sign of that person.
Illusion?
Lin Shu sat down slowly, a little disappointed, raised the glass in front of him, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
"Will Mr. Lin buy me a drink?"
really come?!
When Qin Yuchi's voice rang in his ears, Lin Shu's anxiety of waiting for a few days was instantly calmed down.
Lin Shu put down the glass slowly, swallowed the drink in his mouth, and glanced to the right as if he didn't care.
Qin Yuchi was wearing a black mask, with a bouquet of irises in his right palm, a windbreaker on his left arm, and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Why are you here?" Lin Shu controlled his tone, trying to speak in a less aggressive voice.
Qin Yuchi took off his mask, sat next to Lin Shu, put the iris flower on the bar, and replied, "I'm done, I just arrived in City S today."
The scent of cedar was overshadowed by the scent of iris, very strong, like a delicious poison, which disturbed Lin Shu's mind a little dizzy and his heart pounding.
Killing so quickly?
Lin Shu turned his head and looked straight ahead, meeting the bartender's eyes.
Lin Shu originally wanted to wink at the bartender and ask the bartender to say something to help him, so as not to make the atmosphere too awkward, but the bartender was even more nervous than him when he saw Qin Yuchi, and he didn't even dare to say a word.
"A glass of mineral water, thank you." Qin Yuchi said to the bartender.
"Ah...Okay, wait a minute." The bartender took a breath, bent down and hid under the bar, took a bottle of mineral water and put it in front of Qin Yuchi, and then slipped away with his waist hooked.
Qin Yuchi took the water, unscrewed the cap, and drank most of it with his head raised, as if he was very thirsty.
Gudoo - Gudoo -
Lin Shu suspected that there was something wrong with his five senses again, otherwise, how could Qin Yuchi swallow water clearly when the bottle cap was unscrewed.
The phone vibrated.
Lin Shu turned on the phone, turned the brightness to the minimum, and peeked at the message from the bartender.
"Bartender: Your ex-boyfriend is Qin Yuchi?!"
"Lin Shu: He's not my ex-boyfriend."
"Bartender: Qin Yuchi is your boyfriend?!"
"Lin Shu: He's not my boyfriend now either!!!"
"Mr. Lin, have you had dinner yet?" Qin Yuchi tightened the mineral water bottle and held it in his right hand.
Lin Shu's phone went blank, and he replied coldly, "No."
"I've booked a restaurant and I want to have dinner with you, is that okay?" Qin Yuchi asked again.
The phone kept vibrating, and the bartender must have sent him a bunch of messages.
Lin Shu was quiet for a few seconds, thinking about how to answer so that it would not appear so abrupt. After much deliberation, he finally only responded with a faint "hmm".
Lin Shu raised his glass, drank the last sip of dark beer, and stood up slowly.
Putting on a mask, Qin Yuchi also stood up, holding the mineral water bottle in his right hand and the windbreaker in his left hand, and said to Lin Shu, "Can Mr. Lin help me get some flowers? Thank you."
Lin Shu glanced at the purple iris, gently picked it up, and hugged it in his arms. The rich fragrance rushed to his face, making his heart pound.
Lin Shu followed behind Qin Yuchi, walking towards the entrance of the nightclub at a leisurely pace.
The two walked in the night, one in front of the other.
The restaurant Qin Yuchi booked was the one he ate with Mi Cheng last time.
In order not to attract attention, the location is fixed in the corner, and there are tasseled curtains to block it.
When they arrived, the dishes they ordered had just arrived. Lin Shu took a closer look and found that these dishes were almost the same as what he and Mi Cheng ordered.
The two sat opposite each other.
As before, Qin Yuchi didn't speak while eating, while Lin Shu buried his head in his meal in silence because of nervousness, with only the sound of chewing on the table.
Lin Shu bypassed the plate of steamed fish, picked up other dishes, and even ate one of the pig buns that he didn't eat last time.
After a while, Qin Yuchi seemed to have noticed something, brought the steamed fish in front of him, separated the fish meat and spines with chopsticks, picked out the small spines from the fish meat one by one, and put them into an empty bowl.
Soon, the fish that had been picked were put back in place.
Lin Shu raised his eyes and met Qin Yuchi's eyes.
"Mr. Lin, I've already picked out all the thorns." Qin Yuchi said.
"En." Lin Shu breathed out silently, picked up a piece of fish, and put it into his mouth.
There was no thorn in the first bite, and Lin Shu picked up a second piece of fish, which still had no thorn.
The tip of his nose suddenly became sour, and Lin Shu kept picking up the fish meat, faster and faster, feeding it into his mouth piece by piece, chewing heavily until he ate all the fish tail meat without being stabbed.
With his mouth full, Lin Shu lowered his head, his eyes were inexplicably wet and red.
Lin Shu didn't know why he was crying. He didn't cry when he fell out with Lin Gang, and he didn't cry when he repented in pain.
In his previous life, in this life, he never shed tears.
But for some reason, when he ate the fish that Qin Yuchi had picked out for him, he couldn't bear his emotions, and tears rushed to his head.
Lin Shu swallowed the fish indiscriminately, and quickly took a towel, pretending to be wiping his mouth, but actually wiping the moisture on the tip of his nose.
"Sorry," Lin Shu steadied his voice and said in a low voice, "When we first met, my tone was not very good."
"I acted too frivolously. It's normal for you to be on guard." Qin Yuchi said.
Tears are rushing out again.
Lin Shu lowered his head, closed his eyes to hold back the tears, forcefully suppressed the inexplicable tears, and calmed down.
With a soft breath, Lin Shu raised his head, looked Qin Yuchi straight in the eyes, and asked seriously, "Qin Yuchi, in your eyes, am I a good person?"
Hearing this, Qin Yuchi gently put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips with a towel, sat upright, and replied seriously: "Yes."
"Why?" Lin Shu clenched his fingers and asked again, holding back his tears.
"Because you don't judge people by blood, you will take the initiative to rescue Mr. Tao Xiaotian. You will take the initiative to protect the weaker people, and personally send my sister back to school and to the film crew."
"You are also the best, most unrestrained, yet gentlest person I have ever seen."
In Qin Yuchi's eyes, he seemed to be able to be a good person...
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, unable to react in his head, only the tears could not be suppressed, overflowing from the corners of his eyes little by little.
Lin Shu wanted to lower his head, but he handed over a handkerchief first. Qin Yuchi said calmly, "The little yellow croaker is too spicy. Don't eat it in such a hurry in the future, you will choke."
Talk nonsense with your eyes open.
Lin Shu took advantage of the situation and coughed a few times, took the handkerchief, and quickly wiped away the little tear from the corner of his eye.
"How many times have you met me? I scold you every time. I'm not a gentle person." Lin Shu returned to his indifferent and arrogant tone.
Qin Yuchi froze for a moment, then admitted: "The last sentence is Ximo's evaluation of you."
Lin Shu nodded, and continued to eat the rest of the dishes in silence, putting down his chopsticks only when he felt overwhelmed.
The little convertible is still parked in the nightclub's parking lot.
Lin Shu just selfishly chose to walk to the restaurant on foot, and now he can just walk back to the nightclub and stay with Qin Yuchi for a while.
Lin Shu hugged the flowers, walked to the car door still a little bit reluctant, coughed lightly and asked, "Where are you going now? Back to the hotel?"
Qin Yuchi lowered his head slightly, stared into Lin Shu's eyes and asked, "Can you take me to run in the mountains? Just like you took Mr. Mi to run in the mountains last time."
"Running in the mountains at night?" Lin Shu frowned slightly, "That way the speed won't be too fast."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Shu was silent for a moment, then finally opened the co-pilot's door, and said to Qin Yuchi, "Go up."
The author has something to say:
Qin Yuchi: Co-pilot, I'm really here this time!(Crazy Jealousy ver)
