delayed love

Chapter 3 Avoid me?

Feeling the low air pressure in the back seat, the driver asked after the car drove for a while, "Mr. Qin, do you want to go back?"

"Go to Ruan Dong."

Ruan Dong is an old classmate of Qin Yu's. After graduation, he opened a private kitchen and became famous.

Lin Xi didn't want to stay with him, she rubbed her red wrist and refused, "I'm going back to the courtyard, I'm not on the way. I'll just take a taxi and go back, don't bother third brother."

"No rush. Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Third brother, is he getting old and confused? I have eaten with Lu Bei."

"Are you sure you can eat the food here? He didn't even ask about your preferences carefully, and he didn't seem to care about you. Such a man is unreliable, so don't associate with him."

Lin Xi: "..."

Lin Xi only looks obedient, but she is still rebellious in her bones.Not long after she was seated, Qin Yu went out to make a phone call, and when she came back, she disappeared.

In the box, I could only see Ruan Dong sitting inside, "Where are you?"

"You ran away not long after you went out, and you couldn't stop it. You bought the bill by the way." Ruan Dong smiled and raised the stack of banknotes in his hand. "Hiding from you is like hiding from the plague. Doesn't this girl hold grudges against you because of that?"

"Hey third brother, I see that she is much more cheerful than before. Her speech is not as stumbling as before, and the hearing aids on her ears are gone."

Sitting back to his original position, Qin Yu lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and remained silent for a long time.

-

Lin Xi still didn't go back to the compound in the end, she sent a message to her aunt, and she went directly to the hotel.

She has rarely lived in the compound since she was a teenager, and has always lived with her parents.Later, when something happened at home in high school, she moved to her grandmother's house in Linshi, and she never went back to the house left by her parents.

Lin Xi suffered from insomnia that night and fell asleep very late.

She dreamed of the day of the car accident again, blood slipped from the corner of her forehead, and her eyes were scarlet.She survived by luck, but she hurt her ears and couldn't hear anything.

After waking up and knowing that her parents died on the spot, she hugged her brother on the hospital bed and cried until he fainted.Later, her temperament changed drastically and she became taciturn, so severe that she was aphasic for a while.

The scene changed to the day when she made up her mind to confess her love to Qin Yu after the college entrance examination.

Obviously every time he would show up at the school gate on time and take her back to grandma's house.But he didn't come that day, he just asked someone to take her back.The next day, she heard that he had a fiancee.

Not long after, she went abroad with her uncle.

That was her first winter abroad and the first day she took off her hearing aid.

The doctor tried repeatedly: "Miss Lin? Can you hear me?"

For the first time since the car accident, she heard voices without her hearing aids.

She nodded in surprise, and under the expectant eyes of the doctor and uncle, she stumbled and said, "Yes, I can hear it!"

Coming out of the hospital that day, she sat in the car and looked out the window.At the corner, Qin Yu's figure flashed by...

The ringing bell was sudden, and Lin Xi woke up with a sudden gasp.It looks like a familiar hotel room.The curtains directly in front were not drawn tightly, and daylight poured in through the gaps.

After staring at the curtains for a few seconds, she came back to turn off the alarm clock.It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and she hadn't slept long at all.But she has something very important to do today.

After buying flowers, Lin Xi took a taxi to the cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing. It was already ten o'clock when he arrived.

Just as she leaned over to put down the flowers, her gaze stopped when she caught another bouquet of white chrysanthemums below.

Confused, she reached out and touched it.The petals are still very fresh, it should have been placed here not long ago, and the photos of parents have also been carefully wiped...

Someone came here not long before she came here.

But at this time, there are not many people here.She walked all the way up, but she didn't see any acquaintances.

Multiple figures appeared in her mind, but she denied them one by one, and simply stopped thinking about them.

It was almost noon before Lin Xi got up and left.It was a long journey from the suburbs of Beijing to the compound. Lin Xi couldn't help squinting for a while in the car. When she got off the car, her head was still a little heavy, and she felt light when walking.

"Is Xixi back?"

Hearing the movement at the door, the uncle looked eagerly at the door and hurried to meet him.

"Uncle?" Lin Xi was a little surprised, "Aren't you in the army?"

The uncle reached out to help her take the backpack, "You too, didn't say hello in advance. It made me ask for leave temporarily, and I came back in such a hurry that I almost couldn't catch up with you."

"Are you really planning to stay abroad in the future?" Lin Xi nodded, and walked in with her uncle.

"Is grandpa not here?"

"Going to play chess again, I didn't know you were back yet."

The old man's legs are disabled, and his life was saved back then. Now he can only move around in a wheelchair.

In Beijing, at the end of midsummer, the sun is still vicious.Lin Xi was afraid of the sun, so she walked faster.Seeing that he was not far from the pavilion, he saw the grandfather in the wheelchair and the people behind him.

The man had obviously seen her too.

"..." Lin Xi twitched the corners of her lips in embarrassment.

On the opposite side, the old man was getting old, so he couldn't see who was in front of him clearly.Fortunately, Qin Yu was there, "It's Lin Xi, Xixi is back."

"Xixi?"

"Yes. Right in front."

Hearing this, the old man happily raised his right hand tremblingly, waved it slightly in the air, and called Lin Xi in a hoarse voice.

Lin Xi hurried forward, "I'm going to pick you up."

"No, there's Xiao Qin." The old man held her hand, "Where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you come back?"

"I went to see my parents early this morning, so I stayed in a nearby hotel last night."

"You and Xiao Qin went back together? Then he lied to me that you were not at home. This kid." The old man patted Qin Yu behind him with his backhand.

ah?Lin Xi was taken aback, and looked up at him.That bouquet of flowers is left by him?
The four eyes met, and the two tacitly did not explain.

The uncle came out to welcome the old man in. At the entrance, Lin Xi took the opportunity to stop Qin Yu, "Third brother, have you been to the suburbs of Beijing in the morning?"

"Well, I wanted to stay a little longer, so I came over after answering the phone at home temporarily."

By the way, he also explained why he appeared in the compound, as if it was really just a coincidence, not specifically to block her.

"Why didn't you come back yesterday?"

He asked the same question as the old man.

Before she could repeat it again, Qin Yu took a step forward and said directly, "Hide me?"

Lin Xi was forced to lean against the wall, as if she was punished by her elder brother for doing something wrong when she was a child.And Qin Yu just watched every time he passed by, and never pleaded for her.

His temperament was like this when he was a child, he didn't like jokes and didn't make many jokes. Unlike his brother's sternness, he was colder.She really hated him when she was a child, but she really liked him later.

She insisted: "No, what am I hiding from you?"

Hearing her aunt calling her, Lin Xi hurriedly agreed and trotted away.Qin Yu stared at her back for a long time before silently following her.

The aunt was enthusiastic and stayed in Qinyu for lunch.During the dinner, the aunt kept bringing food to the two juniors. While eating, the uncle seemed to have just remembered something and asked Lin Xi, "When will Xixi go back?"

"Next Mon."

On the other side, Qin Yu looked at her, frowning slightly: "Go back?"

The aunt answered naturally: "Yes, Xixi has found a good job abroad and is going back to work."

The atmosphere was inexplicably low and fell into an eerie silence.

"Really." It took a long time to hear his voice, there was no ups and downs, but it was inexplicably oppressive.

His gaze was too hot to ignore.Lin Xi ate with a dull head, and couldn't bear it for a while, so she raised her eyebrows and hummed: "Is there a problem?"
