ALL NOVEL Chapter 80
Chapter 79 – 79
Bai Xiying, who returned to Lin Xingzhu’s side again, showed no abnormal expression, as if she really went to the toilet.
?? And Lin Xingzhu naturally didn’t suspect anything.
?? After the two returned home from outside, Bai Xiying took the big and small bags from Lin Xingzhu and planned to go upstairs.
??Lin Xingzhu, who originally thought she would be with him, was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Bai Xiying slightly bent her eyes and explained softly: “I suddenly had some inspiration.”
??So this is ah.
?? Lin Xingzhu knows that creators like Bai Xiying are always caught off guard by the arrival of inspiration, and it is fleeting. Now that her inspiration has come, of course she must seize it.
??She didn’t want to keep her anymore: “Then you go back first. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll deliver it to you when it’s ready.”
?? Lin Xingzhu resigned from Xingyuan three days ago, and she will go to Lin’s headquarters, which is Tianqi, to work next Monday. During this period, she was given a few days to rest.
??It just so happens that Bai Xiying is about to fly to City S. The two people who have been in love for a long time cherish the day and night together before going to different places in the past few days.
??Lin Xingzhu had already planned to write down Bai Xiying’s order, but Bai Xiying refused.
?? “It feels like I’m going to draw late tonight. I’m sure I haven’t finished my meal time yet. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll just make some for myself after I’m done.”
“…” Lin Xingzhu felt a little strange in her heart, but she thought of Bai Xiying’s usual behavior when she was inspired, and suppressed the inexplicable weirdness, “That’s okay, send me a WeChat message if you need anything.”
??Bai Xiying nodded, and then took the elevator to leave under the watchful eye of Lin Xingzhu.
??When he saw that the elevator floor showed that he had reached the thirteenth floor, Lin Xingzhu turned around and opened the door to enter the room.
??Bai Xiying won’t eat with her tonight, and Lin Xingzhu also plans to cook something casually to satisfy his stomach, so he is not in a hurry to prepare dishes.
??Alone now, she has time to think about Wen Lin and the original work.
??Obviously, Wen Lin’s automatic visit today is a complete proof that the other party came from the same place as her.
?? They are both book runners, but the other party is familiar with the full text, while she herself only knows the first half of the plot.
??But it doesn’t matter. For the Lin family right now, the most threatening thing is the Gong Si mentioned in the original book, and Gong Si touched it again today, and said that he would not covet the protagonist.
??The result of “the bankruptcy of the Lin family” that may occur in the future can be ruled out as the possibility of selfish revenge. And from Wen Lin’s identity, Lin Xingzhu can also make plans early and be careful.
??I have to say that Wen Lin’s appearance today is really a surprise for Lin Xingzhu.
?? She was thinking like this when the screen of her mobile phone flickered suddenly. She looked down and saw that it was a message from Father Lin who had been abroad recently.
??【Father Lin: How is your relationship with Sakura recently? 】
??【Lin Xingzhu: Very good, what’s the matter?? 】
??Responding to the message, Lin Xingzhu was a little puzzled as to why Father Lin suddenly asked this question.
??When she first brought Bai Xiying home, the other party was acting as a girlfriend. Lin Xingzhu guessed that Lin’s father might have noticed that the relationship between her and Bai Xiying was tricky later, in order to correct Joe Zijin deliberately lied.
?? It’s just that Lin’s father didn’t ask, so she didn’t take the initiative to say.
?? Later, the fake show was real, but the “breakup” among them was not done with much fanfare, so few people knew about it.
??【Father Lin: Together? 】
??Lin Xingzhu: “…”
?? She said that Father Lin probably already knew the truth.
??【Lin Xingzhu: Yes, why are you asking this? 】
??【Father Lin: Didn’t I tell you? Start a family first and then start a business? Look at you, you will be back to work soon, and you can take over my class after a while, then your career will be established immediately, and your relationship and life have not yet settled, isn’t it not good? 】
??Lin Xingzhu’s eyelids twitched when he saw this passage.
??【Lin Xingzhu: What do you mean? 】
??【Father Lin: Look at you, your relationship is stable and you are a good match. When will you consider getting married? 】
??Lin Xingzhu: “…”
?? How long have they been in love? To do as Lin’s father said, this speed is not like a rocket.
?? She broke the routine in Lin’s father’s words: [If you want us to get engaged, just say so, why are you still playing routine? 】
??Just like the tricks in front of the door, if a person wants to achieve what he wants, he first puts forward an outrageous request that exceeds the request, compromises when the other party refuses, and then lowers the request, then the other party will agree without thinking too long.
?? Father Lin’s essential purpose is just to get her engaged to Bai Xiying.
??Father Lin, whose real purpose had been exposed, twitched and asked her: [Then do you think you can make an order? Love that is not for the purpose of marriage is a hooligan, let me tell you, I think your mother and I…]
?? Lin Xingzhu replied to him with pursed lips: [No, it’s not yet time. Also, the times are different now, we young people are not into that kind of stuff. 】
??【Father Lin: If you don’t want to order it, don’t order it? What if Sakura wants to order it? 】
?? After typing, Lin Xingzhu suddenly realized this possibility.
??She deleted the words in the dialog box that she hadn’t had time to send, and replied to him: [I’ll talk to her after I ask her. 】
??*
??At eight o’clock in the evening, Lin Xingzhu sent another WeChat message to Bai Xiying, but no one replied.
?? She thought for two seconds, and decided to go upstairs to have a look.
??After falling in love, Lin Xingzhu has the privilege of entering and exiting Bai Xiying’s house with the key, so she doesn’t need to knock on the door when she comes, and she can’t talk about disturbing Bai Xiying.
??But thinking of Bai Xiying who was busy tonight, Lin Xingzhu made a dessert and served it up.
?? After entering the room, she first put the dessert on the coffee table in the living room, and then slowly approached Bai Xiying’s studio.
??Even after falling in love with the “lover’s privilege” of entering and leaving Bai Xiying’s house at will, Lin Xingzhu only went to the place allowed by Bai Xiying’s silent acquiescence.
?? Lin Xingzhu never set foot in those unauthorized places—such as the locked door that was never opened to her.
??The heavy door of the studio was not closed tightly, and a slight push silently revealed a gap for viewing.
??From Lin Xingzhu’s point of view, you can see Bai Xiying’s slender back and the soft light from the lamp shadow hitting her side face, which looks very focused.
Seeing this, Lin Xingzhu didn’t bother her either. She was about to close the gap and leave when she suddenly saw a corner of the unfinished painting.
??Extreme red and black, like scarlet and dead blood, falling twisted and treacherous lines, paved into a horrific and absurd bizarre vortex, in the extremely black abyss, it seems that there are countless pairs of invisible eyes that cannot be caught, extending outwards and covering Sticky cobwebs.
?? It turned out to be an oil painting.
?? But this wasn’t what surprised Lin Xingzhu the most. She looked at Bai Xiying’s quiet and peaceful profile, and didn’t expect her inspiration today to be so depressing and treacherous, with a sense of separation.
?? Lin Xingzhu took a deep breath silently, slowly closed the gap and exited.
??Bai Xiying’s painting is very abstract, and it is still an unfinished painting. But when she just scanned in a hurry, the two intentions of eyes and spider webs were still subconsciously outlined in her brain.
??When facing the canvas, Lin Xingzhu actually had a chilling feeling of being spied on.
?? She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, thinking of Bai Xiying who was working hard for her profession and hobbies in the studio, she smiled silently again.
??He buried his head and sent a WeChat to Bai Xiying, telling her that the cake was put in the refrigerator, and that if she was hungry, she could eat it first to fill her stomach. Lin Xingzhu went down with her slippers again.
??It just so happened that today, Bai Xiying was inspired to indulge in painting, and the two of them could sleep in separate rooms for a day.
?? Everyone should take a break.
??*
??Lin Xingzhu was woken up in the morning.
?? A fat meowing cat sat on her face unceremoniously, scratching the fluff and prickly people, but before Lin Xingzhu had time to stop the itching, she was so crushed that she couldn’t breathe up.
??Before the breathable oxygen was extracted, Lin Xingzhu opened his eyes quickly, and found that there was no squeamish and greedy cat in front of him, but a girlfriend who pinched her nose and told her to wake up.
Seeing that she was awake, Bai Xiying let go of her hand.
?? Lin Xingzhu rubbed his eyes, “Why did you wake up so early today?”
??Usually she wakes up before Bai Xiying.
??Bai Xiying motioned her to check the time: “It’s getting late, you slept too long.”
?? Lin Xingzhu grabbed the phone and pressed it on. It was indeed more than an hour later than her usual wake-up time.
?? She said: “I overslept today.”
??Bai Xiying glanced at her when she heard the words: “Isn’t it comfortable to occupy a whole big bed to sleep?”
??Lin Xingzhu: “…”
?? This is a death problem.
??It’s hard to answer, Lin Xingzhu chose to change the subject: “Have you had breakfast? I’ll get up and make some.”
??Bai Xiying snorted: “I’m ready, you can have breakfast after you get up and wash up.”
??After Lin Xingzhu got up and washed, sat at the dining table, drank coffee, swallowed the last bite of bread, wiped his mouth, and asked Bai Xiying, “Have you eaten the cake I brought you yesterday?”
??Bai Xiying nodded: “After eating, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better.”
?? Lin Xingzhu feels that he has a talent for baking.
??Every new product I learned has almost no overturning.
??The one sent up yesterday was a new one, and it was well received by my girlfriend as usual.
??Lin Xingzhu smiled and said: “The more you practice the skill, the better it will make you never get tired of eating it for the rest of your life.”
??Bai Xiying paused slightly while holding the handle of the spoon, but Lin Xingzhu didn’t see it, but still smiled and said, “Didn’t you say that if you want to capture a person’s heart, you have to tie her stomach?”
“Then am I tied to your stomach now?”
??Bai Xiying recalled all kinds of feeding by Lin Xingzhu, and deliberately pursed her lips and said: “You have premeditated.”
?? This Lin Xingzhu doesn’t admit it: “I just wanted to make up for you at first.”
??Speaking of nourishing the body, Bai Xiying’s eyes overflowed with a smile: “Do you start with stewed black-bone chicken with red dates, astragalus, and wolfberry?”
?? “…” Lin Xingzhu’s raised lips were slightly stiff.
?? This nourishing soup was clearly intended to nourish Bai Xiying’s body, but it became Lin Xingzhu’s shadow by accident.
?? She coughed, and changed the subject again: “My dad sent me a message last night, and even played tricks with me, asking about our situation overtly and secretly.”
??Bai Xiying was slightly surprised. After two seconds, she thought: “Uncle must not be just for this, right?”
?? Lin Xingzhu sighed: “Yes, he just wanted to ask me when we will get engaged.”
“Engagement?” Bai Xiying asked in astonishment.
?? Lin Xingzhu rubbed his knuckles, nodded and said: “Yeah.”
??She didn’t say the answer she gave, but waited for Bai Xiying to make a decision.
??Although when facing Father Lin yesterday, Lin Xingzhu’s first reaction was that they had just fallen in love, and the word of engagement was too soon.
??But what if Bai Xiying wants to? Then don’t let your answers affect her.
??If Bai Xiying didn’t think she wanted to get engaged too soon, then Lin Xingzhu didn’t think she had any objections.
??Bai Xiying was shocked by the news for a moment, and then refused: “No, it’s too fast, it’s still early.”
?? Lin Xingzhu pursed his lips, and said warmly: “I think so too. Since we agree, let’s ignore what he said.”
?? In order not to burden Bai Xiying, she smiled easily: “He always thinks about the same style as my mother back then, but the times have changed a long time ago.”
?? It was just the subtle loss in her heart that made Lin Xingzhu suddenly realize that she had unknowingly raised expectations? ??
?? Bai Xiying on the opposite side stared at her when she mentioned Lin’s father and Lin’s mother’s familiarity and intimacy, as well as the faint mole under the end of her left eye that represented her true identity, and slowly retracted her hand.
