delayed love

Chapter 19 I Have Someone I Like
Aunt Rong and Lin Xi's parents had some grievances in the early years, and this is not a secret in the compound.Due to the relationship between the two elders, Aunt Rong still has to do superficial work.But in private, Aunt Rong really didn't like the Lin family.

In the early years, knowing that Qin Yu had repeatedly left work to take care of Lin Xi, he probably sensed Qin Yu's thoughts on Lin Xi.Aunt Rong also made a big fuss, which caused Qin Yu to not come home for a long time, and finally had to let it go.

After all, it was Qin Yu's mother, so Cheng Si couldn't say much.

It's just unexpected that so many years have passed, Lin Xi's parents have left, and Aunt Rong is still thinking about the old things.

On the other side of the phone, Qin Yu remained silent for a long time.Cheng Si sighed. It seemed that what was reported yesterday was true.

-

Back to work, Lin Xi has been working overtime this week.

Although Feiyun had made some achievements in the early years, it has been caught up by many competitors one after another because it has stagnated in the past two years.

The current project with Huasheng is Feiyun's most important cooperation, not one of them.Huasheng is in urgent need of a domestic mobile phone chip. The research of major companies has been blank for many years, and there are still problems that cannot be overcome. Feiyun is currently the most confident company.

If this project goes well, Feiyun can use Huasheng's products to launch the first shot in the domestic chip market.

Cheng Si is a qualified businessman. In his eyes, Feiyun is just a small company under his name.He didn't expect Feiyun to bring him much fame in the future, he only cared about whether Feiyun could make money.

But Lin Xi is different, she doesn't care about money.What she thought was that since it was done, Feiyun must become the leader in domestic chips.She has always been very ambitious, and she plans to dedicate all her efforts to Feiyun in the future.

Therefore, there should be no surprises in the project with Huasheng.

After working overtime on Saturday night, Lin Xi and Chen Gong walked out with their tired bodies.

"Gong Lin, do you want to have a meal?"

Chen Gong took the initiative to invite: "There is a delicious barbecue restaurant nearby. We used to go there to eat after get off work. It is our secret base. Lin Gong will also come."

The engineers in their R&D department are currently only eight of them, and they are all bald men in their 40s and [-]s.Only Lin Xi is the youngest exception.Some people were not convinced by her at first, but after getting along with her, they were soon overwhelmed by her ability.

Lin Xi was also hungry, and just planned to find a place to eat. "Let's go together then."

The barbecue restaurant Chen Gong and the others mentioned was just an inconspicuous small shop in a nearby alley.

A few people went over and moved the few two tables at the door together.

Lin Xi sat on the far side and didn't know what to eat, so she asked them to help.

Tomorrow weekend, the R&D department doesn't have to come back to work overtime. Everyone ordered [-] bottles of beer and two bottles of white wine in one go, planning to have a good rest and sleep until Monday.

"Can Lin Gong drink?"

Someone is eager to try with a wine bottle.

Lin Xi glanced at the liquor in his hand and shook his head.

Several people were a little disappointed. Although Lin Xi was a girl, they usually regarded Lin Xi as a good brother.

"Girls don't drink." Chen Gong took the opportunity to interrupt, but Lin Xi brought a bottle of cold beer from under the table, "But I can drink a few bottles of this."

"!"

Chen Gong looked at her unexpectedly, "Lin Gong can drink?"

"A little bit." Speaking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help smiling, "My grandpa likes to drink more. When I was very young, every time my grandpa drank, he would secretly give me and my brother a taste."

"Does Lin Gong have an older brother?"

"What does Brother Lin Gong do?"

This topic started too suddenly, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, opened the beer with lowered eyes, and said in a low voice, "He works in the military area, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

-

It was almost ten o'clock when the party was over and Lin Xi walked back to the apartment.

"Lin Xi!" Just as she was about to enter the unit door, someone behind her stopped her.

Because of drinking a lot of wine, Lin Xi's brain was a little dull, so he turned around slowly.

She squinted at the running figure, barely remembering his name.

"Why are you here?" She grabbed the doorknob and turned sideways to face Lu Bei.

Since the end of the last blind date, the two have not seen each other again.No wonder it took her a while to think of him.

"I called you after seven o'clock, but I didn't get through, so I can only come downstairs to your house and wait for you."

Hearing this, Lin Xi touched his pocket, and said in an apologetic tone, "I was working overtime at that time, and the phone was muted."

Lu Bei approached her and soon smelled the smell of alcohol.Only then did he realize that her expression was wrong, "Did you go to drink?"

"Well, colleagues have dinner together." After answering, Lin Xi frowned, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Bei snorted, and when he realized it, he quickly handed over the thermos box, "I heard that you've been working overtime recently. I thought you were at home today, so I made some tonic soup for you."

"And this is a gift that my mother brought back from her trip to the South last week. Please entrust me to pass it on to you. I hope you can, like it!"

"..."

After staring at the things in his hand for a long time, Lin Xi replied, "What are you giving me?"

At most, she and Lu Bei met once. Although Lu Bei often sent her messages, she didn't show any enthusiasm, and only occasionally replied politely.

They are not even friends.

"It's just a small gift, my mother said it's suitable for you, nothing else!"

Under the influence of alcohol, it took Lin Xi a while to understand what he meant.

She rubbed her eyebrows and explained softly: "I seem to have told you on WeChat before that I went on a blind date with you on behalf of someone else that day, and we are not suitable. This is not a joke."

"I know you said it." Lu Bei persevered: "It doesn't matter if it's not suitable, we can still be friends."

"Didn't you say that you don't have many friends around you when you just returned to Beijing? You can find me for dinner or shopping! And my work and living place are very close to your place! You can come here anytime!"

He seemed determined to develop a relationship with her.

If the brain is chaotic, Lin Xi can also know what he is thinking.

"Do you like me? But we just met once."

She heard from Qin Yu that Lu Bei and the elders in the family said they were very satisfied with her.

She looked straight into Lu Bei's eyes, who froze for a moment, then quickly looked away, his voice trembling.

"I, I am, I like you. But I don't think it has anything to do with meeting you a few times. I..."

His cautious appearance made Lin Xi seem to see himself before.

She sighed, not wanting to give him any hope, "I forgot to say, I have someone I like."

"And, it's been a long time."
