Chapter 116: Once Is Happenstance, Twice Is Coincidence…
T/N: Elizabeth bought me a coffee! Thank you. ?
The next day, Lin Xin, packed the suit jacket and the hairpin and found a delivery service to send it over to Lin Xinyu’s company.
Upon finding the recipient’s contact number missing, the delivery boy asked, “What’s the phone number?”
Lin Xin thought for a moment and wrote down the phone number she had used before and dealt with it.
This matter turned over, Lin Xin wholeheartedly devoted herself to her relationship with Wang Changding.
Both were looking for marriage, both felt that the other was good in all aspects of character, and soon established the relationship. Their love affair spread in the circle, Father Lin and Mother Lin were so happy that they couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear. Lin Shuhao on the other hand, was a little sour. Sadly, his sister wished to fall into the arms of other men.
That day, Wang Changding asked her to go to the movies. When they entered the cinema, they met Lin Xinyu and Han Keman. Today, Lin Xinyu wore a white shirt paired with jeans and canvas shoes. Han Kerman appeared relatively grander, her pink dress befitting a party.
Seeing the white shirt on Lin Xinyu, Lin Xin was shocked. Time was indeed the best medicine, it could heal all pain. The past was vivid in her memory, but today, she’d be able to face it. She felt a relief she had never felt before.
Taking the initiative to greet Lin Xinyu, she said, “What a coincidence! Mr. Lin’s dressed casually today. But it looks good.”
Lin Xinyu bowed his head and smiled “I think it’s fine, too.”
They then entered the movie hall. Coincidentally, their seats were one behind the other. Wang Changding had originally reserved VIP seats. However, even though they had confirmed their relationship, Lin Xin was still not used to being alone with him, especially in dark places. In the end, they’d bought ordinary seats.
About this coincidence, Lin Xin didn’t care much. After all, once the movie was over, they’d all go their own way.
The movie opened with a poignant love story. The leads met when they were students. The couple separated because of the disparity in family circumstances and the opposition of the man’s family. Meeting again after many years, the two still loved each other, but at this time the woman was found to have an incurable disease…
A simple story is better than the beauty of the picture. The protagonists were pleasing to the eye. Wang Changding was entranced, and Han Keman behind her wept convulsively. Lin Xin thought: Was it so beautiful? She really didn’t find it particularly beautiful. Where was the charm? She preferred drama to this kind of romance. She couldn’t sit still, twisting and sipping her drink.
Wang Changding, who was next to her, received a phone call. Lin Xin only heard him saying, “Okay, okay, I’ll be right over.”
He hung up the phone and said sheepishly, “Something happened to my brother. I have to go. I can’t be with you today. Can you go home by yourself?”
Lin Xin said, “You have something urgent, you go first. I’ll take a taxi back later, or get Lin Shuhao to pick me up.”
Wang Changding apologized and left in a hurry. The film was coming to an end, Lin Xin thought. She’d finish seeing it and leave afterward.
“Miss Lin doesn’t seem to like the film very much,” Lin Xinyu asked, suddenly.
When Lin Xin turned around, she didn’t see Han Keman in her seat — Where did she go? — Only Lin Xinyu, who was looking at her gently.
Lin Xin asked, “Didn’t you have a girlfriend?”
Lin Xinyu said, “She had to go first.”
Lin Xin thought that it was too much of a coincidence that these two people left as soon as she came.
Had he recognized her?
It was impossible, he watched the movie so intently. He wouldn’t be so calm if he’d recognize her.
… Anyway, she couldn’t concentrate on the movie. There’s just something weird about it. Besides, there’s this feeling of impropriety when they’re sitting together like this. And, this movie was as tasteless as chicken ribs.
Forget it. Let’s just go.
Just when Lin Xin was about to get up and leave, she saw Lin Xinyu go out of the door. Lin Xin thought, am I thinking too much? She sat down again and continued watching the movie. Now that she couldn’t see anything, she heard the heroine in the movie cry bitterly.
Such ostentatious acting is embarrassing.
It was not until she felt that Lin Xinyu had gone far away that she got up and went out of the cinema. Outside, she flagged a taxi, but a black Volkswagen stopped in front of her.
Rolling down the window, Lin Xinyu sat in the car and asked, “Would you like a ride home, Miss Lin?”
Lin Xin nodded to him and said, “No, thank you.”
She didn’t want to have much to do with him.
Lin Xinyu smiled and said, “Then will come back the next time Miss Lin wants to take my car. It’s just hard to get a cab at this hour. Are you sure you don’t want to come along?”
Lin Xin looked around, there was no taxi in sight. She took out her cell phone and opened the app for cab service.
“This is the peak hour, at least another half an hour,” Lin Xinyu said. “Last time I saw Miss Lin, you were in poor health. I am afraid you’ll faint on the side of the road.”
It was too hot to breathe in June. Lin Xin really wasn’t able to stand at this time. He was right, if the taxi didn’t arrive soon, she would really faint on the side of the road.
Lin Xin was not pretentious and got into Lin Xinyu’s car. As she sat, Lin Xinyu handed her a bottle of water. She took a sip and felt a little better. Her brain was still anoxic, and she was dizzy. Closing her eyes, she quickly fell asleep. When she got home, Lin Xinyu had to call her to wake her up.
“Miss Lin, here we are.”
Lin Xin opened her eyes, and Lin Xinyu’s delicate face suddenly jumped before her eyes. So close, she could feel his breath on her face; tingling and numbing. At the moment, it was very quiet. Lin Xin seemed to hear his heartbeat.
‘Bang… Bang…’
All of a sudden, he said, “We’re home.” His voice, low and magnetic. With his perfect face, Lin Xin felt the beat of her heart keep up with his frequency.
‘Bang~’ seems to have hit something invisible. Perhaps because his heart had been with her for a few years?
“I’m home.” He added, there were not too many fluctuations in his tone.
Lin Xin muttered to herself, “Oh.”
Lin Xinyu politely helped her out of the car, and thoughtfully took her to the door, like an ordinary friend, to bid goodbye; all along gentlemanly, without any exception.
Lin Xin wondered if she had thought too much… he had not recognized her.
Not lost, but a little sad. Although Lin Xinyu’s current view of love was puzzling. She knew the relationship between the two of them, and he wouldn’t forget it in ten years. And her memory didn’t span ten years. Everything had happened just a few months ago…
Lin Xinyu, vicious, cold, unscrupulous to reach his purpose, was still vivid in her mind. Tossing aside his strange feelings for her, Lin Xin was more concerned about whether he, as rumored, had been a good man the past ten years.
She withdrew her thoughts. Let’s take it one step at a time.
Wang Changding had been busy ever since he left the cinema in haste. Lin Xin felt that as a girlfriend, she should sympathize with him. She called thrice, in accordance with the standard rules of the average girlfriend. Wang Changding said that he was busy and could not accompany her. He took the time to find her in two days.
Lin Xin had never been in love. She thought that not meeting her boyfriend for several days in a row, was very normal between lovers. Who doesn’t have something to do? After three times, she didn’t call again, waiting for Wang Changding to come to her when he was free.
One morning, Lin Shuhao, Father Lin and Mother Lin all went to the company. Lin Xin had just sent them away with a wave when Lin Xinyu came to the door with a gift box in his hand. He came at the most opportune time… Right when Lin Xin was about to close the door.
He opened the gift box and said, “I just moved next door, so please take care of me when you have time.”
It was a box of cookies in cute shapes… chickens and ducklings, and some zebras; they looked light as a feather, not too sugary.
