Just as Lin Kun hung up the phone with Chu Jingyao, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Dong dong dong...
"Who?"
Lin Kun shouted to the door, and Qu Xiaoxiao's voice came from outside, "Brother, it's me."
Lin Kun walked over and opened the door. Qu Xiaoxiao stood at the door, head slightly lowered, looking shy.
Lin Kun smiled and asked: "Xiaoxiao, it's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Qu Xiaoxiao lowered his head and said, "Senior brother, I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Kun said: "Oh, shall we go into the house to talk, or go downstairs?"
Qu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and was about to speak when Lin Kun said first: "Let's go downstairs, it's lively downstairs."
Lin Kun said this, but in fact he still felt awkward that the two of them were alone in the same room. After all, it was already so late. A man and a woman alone were in the same room. Even if they were innocent, if someone saw them, there would inevitably be some misunderstandings.
of.
Lin Kun didn't care, he was thick-skinned. The key was Qu Xiaoxiao. Through this period of contact, Lin Kun's evaluation of her in his heart was that she was an out-and-out silly girl.
Of course, this "stupid" does not mean stupid with insufficient IQ, but simple meaning. This is not surprising. Qu Xiaoxiao grew up in the mountains since he was a child. Of course, he has no idea about the intrigues in the outside world. Simply
Like a blank piece of paper.
The two came downstairs. Lin Kun ordered a glass of beer and gave Qu Xiaoxiao a glass of juice.
Lin Kun picked up his wine glass and touched it with Qu Xiaoxiao, then said with a smile: "Junior sister, let's go one by one."
Qu Xiaoxiao still felt a little embarrassed, nodded slightly and said, "Senior brother, should I change the wine?"
Lin Kun said with a smile: "You don't have to force yourself if you don't like drinking. Senior brother is not an outsider and won't pick on you. What do you want to say to me? Can you tell me now?"
Qu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Senior brother, Xingyu and I found a job at a nearby martial arts gym. We plan to go there as coaches and teach others kung fu."
"oh……"
"Senior brother, Xingyu and I did not intend to leave you, but..."
Qu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Lin Kun smiled and took over the conversation and said: "It doesn't matter, senior brother, I understand. You just do what you want to do. If you feel uncomfortable staying outside, just go back."
Come to Senior Brother, Senior Brother is always welcome."
Qu Xiaoxiao always lowered her head, and then she slowly raised her head. The Lin Kun who came into view was completely different from the one who was just idle all day long deep in her heart. His smile was warm and loving at this time, just like
Like a big brother.
The tip of Qu Xiaoxiao's nose felt sore. She thought that after her grandparents left, there would be no relatives in the world to care for her. Unexpectedly, she found this feeling from Lin Kun. The little girl said with a choked voice: "Senior brother...
…”
Lin Kun smiled and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to be moved to tears, or are you going to say thank you to your senior brother?"
"Thank you, senior brother!" Qu Xiaoxiao said gratefully.
"Senior brother, please accept this 'thank you' for the time being. You are not allowed to say such disrespectful words again." Lin Kun said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, where do you and Xingyu plan to live in the future? If the martial arts gym is not far away from here,
If it’s far away, you’d better continue to live there.”
Qu Xiaoxiao said: "The martial arts hall provides accommodation. Xingyu and I are going to stay in the martial arts hall."
Lin Kun said: "What plans do you and Xingyu have from now on to continue teaching martial arts?"
Qu Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly and said: "Xingyu and I have discussed that if this martial arts gym goes well, we
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Just learn more and accumulate experience, and when the time comes, we will open a martial arts gym of our own and strive to carry forward our internal martial arts."
Lin Kun nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this idea is still very practical. When you have learned enough from experience, senior brother can get the start-up funds for opening a martial arts gym for you first. Don't blame senior brother for talking too much, the world
Martial arts are all from the same family, so don’t separate the internal and external martial arts so clearly in the future.”
Qu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said, "I know, senior brother!"
Lin Kun said: "Okay, it's getting late. Hurry up and go to bed. When you move to the martial arts gym, tell your senior brother and he will send a car to take you there."
"Thanks……"
Qu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to say thank you again, but Lin Kun gave her a look. The little girl stuck out her tongue, quickly swallowed the rest of her words, and then walked through the crowd like a happy little sparrow, thump thump thump.
Went upstairs.
Lin Kun drank all the beer in his glass and had to go upstairs to sleep. But just as he was about to get up, a soft female voice suddenly came from behind him, "Handsome man, can you buy me a drink?"
Lin Kun frowned, turned back to look at Lu Ting, and said with some surprise: "Didn't you go back to the family compound of the provincial government with Zhijian, why are you here again?"
Lu Ting sat on the chair next to Lin Kun and said with a smile: "Buy me a drink and I'll tell you."
"hehe……"
Lin Kun smiled and said, "It's my honor to invite a beautiful lady from China to drink." He turned to the waitress behind the bar and said, "Let's have the best cocktail."
"Yes, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment!" The waiter was polite and quickly ordered the bartender to prepare it. He also gave a few deliberate instructions to ensure the quality of this wine. This wine is not prepared for others, but
It's for the boss.
Lu Ting smiled and said, "How did you know that I just like drinking cocktails?"
Lin Kun smiled and said: "Guess, there is no reward for guessing right or wrong anyway. It would be better if everyone is happy if the guess is right. If the guess is wrong, I will drink the wine myself."
"Mr. Lin, your wine!" The waitress respectfully pushed the wine glass in front of Lin Kun.
Lin Kun smiled and said: "Thank you."
The waitress immediately became frightened and whispered: "You're welcome."
Lin Kun raised his head and looked at Lu Ting. Lu Ting smiled, reached for the wine glass, and said, "Yes, you guessed it right. After drinking countless wines, the cocktail still tastes better."
"cheers!"
Lin Kun ordered another beer, raised his glass and clinked it with Lu Ting, then put down his glass and said, "Tell me, why are you drinking with me here instead of at the provincial government family compound?"
Lu Ting smiled and said: "Zhijian was afraid that if I followed him, he would witness his father beating him and lose face, so he refused to let me go back with him."
Lin Kun said with a smile: "Look, look at the reality of my brother's feelings for you. I'm afraid I'll never meet another person holding a lantern in my life. Treat my brother well in the future!"
Lu Ting's autumn-like eyes suddenly stared straight at Lin Kun, which made Lin Kun feel a little hairy and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Ting picked up the wine glass and took another sip of wine, then put the glass down and said with a wry smile: "You are stupid."
Lin Kun felt that he was wronged and said: "My IQ has been professionally tested and definitely belongs to the category of high IQ, but I am still a little behind in guessing riddles."
Lu Ting suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Kun, why don't you try to accept someone you don't love very much?"
Lin Kun thought for a while, then shook his head and said:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"I have never experienced this, and it is unlikely that I will encounter this kind of problem. Since I don't love it, why should I accept it?"
Lu Ting looked at Lin Kun with a deep look. After the calm, there was a heartbreaking wave, and said: "Because the person I like doesn't seem to like me, but the other person is very good to me and doesn't accept it."
Everyone feels short-changed."
The expression on Lin Kun's face was slightly startled. Of course he understood what Lu Ting meant. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, Lu Ting."
Lu Ting took out her handkerchief, gently wiped the tip of her nose, and said: "It's okay. We are all adults and we all have our own choices. Sometimes it is better to find someone who loves you than to find someone who loves you.
That way it will be easier for you to be happy."
Lin Kun said: "Zhijian is really a good man. You should have felt this. There is no one else but your father who is willing to devote himself to you."
Lu Ting smiled and said: "Lin Kun, thank you for telling me so much tonight. I understand. We will be good friends from now on. I won't miss you anymore."
Lin Kun smiled and said, "Well, Zhijian will definitely make you happy."
"Okay, I'm going upstairs to rest. Do you have anything to ask me?" Lu Ting rubbed her temples and prepared to stand up.
Lin Kun smiled and said: "No more, I have asked all the questions I should ask."
Lu Ting turned to leave, suddenly stopped to recover, looked at Lin Kun and said: "Can I ask you one last question?"
Lin Kun nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
Lu Ting leaned against Lin Kun's ear and whispered: "Have you ever liked me?"
Lin Kun said truthfully: "When we first met, I really liked him, but then Zhijian showed up, so..."
Lu Ting covered her mouth and chuckled and said: "What, you shouldn't bully your friend's wife? Zhijian and I are not engaged yet, and we are not legally a couple. You are overthinking it."
Lin Kun said with a smile: "I didn't think much about it, it was just a matter of time."
Lu Ting whispered in Lin Kun's ear and continued: "After tonight, I will choose to erase you from my heart. I will completely open my mind and live my life."
Lin Kun said with a smile: "That's right. Don't fight against anyone, but don't fight against yourself and time."
"Let's go!"
Lu Ting turned around and went upstairs. Lin Kun ordered another glass of wine, and after finishing it, he went upstairs to rest.
…
At this time, in the gathering hall, Wang Qinhu looked solemn, but he was very happy in his heart. Good news came from the dog fighting ring. He was going to make a lot of money tonight.
Li Nantian was also there. Seeing Wang Qinhu happy, he asked with a smile: "Brother, what makes you so happy?"
Wang Qinhu laughed and said: "Of course it's a good thing. The dog fighting ring made a lot of money tonight."
A surprise flashed across Li Nantian's face, and he said, "Really? Haha, I made a big bet on the little ruffian, and you haven't seen the results yet tonight."
Wang Qinhu smiled and said: "Hurry up and get the money."
"Report to Mr. Hu, there is someone outside the door who said he has something important to report to you."
"Oh? Let him in."
Wang Qinhu spoke, and after a while, a younger brother hurriedly walked in, came to Wang Qinhu's ear and said: "Master Hu, tonight..."
After listening to his younger brother's report, Wang Qinhu's expression changed, and Li Nantian immediately asked with concern: "Brother, what's going on?"
