Chapter 157

"Xiao Linzi, I'm done with the call. Hey, where's that woman?"

After returning, Ren Lan asked Lin Jichen curiously.

Lin Jichen adjusted his mentality and said, "I'm leaving now for something."

"Oh, Xiao Linzi, I have to go home in a while. My dad just called me and said that my mom has a cold and is sick. I have to go back to see her. I guess I can't come back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Ren Lan said.

"Okay." Lin Jichen nodded.

Ren Lan then returned to the sect with peace of mind and logged off. Lin Jichen was not in the mood to play games for the time being, so he also temporarily quit.

Ren Lan packed some things and went out with her bag on her back.

Lin Jichen sent her out of the gate of the community. Ren Lan took a taxi and did not forget to remind him before getting in the car.

"I'm not here for a day or two, so you're not allowed to be lazy. You have to exercise every day. Do you know that? If I find you being lazy, I'll come back and train you to death!"

Lin Jichen smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will."

"That's good." Ren Lan was relieved and left in the car.

Lin Jichen watched the car go away, and suddenly a sense of loneliness came over him.

It might be caused by the unpleasantness that happened with Jiang Luoyu just now, which made him a little depressed.

Not wanting to go home for the time being, Lin Jichen simply took a walk on the street.

Under the street lights, Lin Jichen's shadow kept lengthening, and he walked aimlessly in Jiangling at night.

He stopped by a park lake, found a bench to sit down, and bought some barbecue and beer.

While looking at the lake, eating barbecue and drinking beer, his mood gradually relaxed.

He slowly recalled everything that had just happened, and there was actually nothing worth being sad about.

It was just that he cut off a vague and vague emotional line, and maybe hurt a girl's heart, and he felt a little guilty and sad.

But compared to this, he didn't want to see the girl wasting time on him.

Besides, this little sadness was nothing compared to the painful time of betrayal in his previous life.

At that time, he was really desperate. Every day, he was seriously injured and waited for death to come.

He still remembers that feeling vividly.

After experiencing ups and downs, this little storm is nothing.

He used persistence to burn all the childishness and willfulness, and now the wilderness in his heart has grown rationality and indifference.

He knows that the most important thing for him now is to improve his strength, not to waste time to accept someone he didn't know before.

Isn't the lesson of the previous life enough?

Although this is a bit too extreme and too sensitive, it is all Lin Jichen can do.

In terms of feelings, in reality, apart from Gu Qiuxue and Ren Lan, he trusts Leng Feiyan and Nangong Yue more.

After thinking it through, Lin Jichen's mood gradually improved.

"Xiao Lin?"

At this time, a voice sounded, and Lin Jichen turned his head to see.

He found that it was Qin Xiaowei standing in front of him with a guitar on her back.

"Sister Xiaowei, why are you here?" Lin Jichen asked in surprise.

Qin Xiaowei explained: "I just finished recording and went home. When I was about to reach the gate of the community, I saw you sending Xiaolan back, and then walking here alone. I saw that you seemed to be in a bad mood, and I was afraid that you would do something stupid, so I followed you."

Lin Jichen laughed and said: "Sister Xiaowei, you underestimate me too much. I am so old, what stupid things can I do."

"That's not necessarily true. Children of your age sometimes have such naive ideas. A few days ago, I saw a little girl in the news who drank a bottle of paraquat because she quarreled with her boyfriend. The little girl is the same age as you. What a pity." Qin Xiaowei said.

Lin Jichen smiled bitterly and said, "I was just a little bored at home, so I came out for a walk and a midnight snack."

"That's good, you're quite mature, not bad." Qin Xiaowei teased.

Lin Jichen smiled and invited, "Sister Xiaowei, do you want to sit down and have a midnight snack? You just got home and you probably haven't eaten yet."

Facing Lin Jichen's invitation, Qin Xiaowei hesitated for a moment and sat down. She was really a little hungry.

"I saw Xiaolan went back. Did you have a fight?"

"No, you misunderstood. Her mother was sick, so she went home to see her. I sent her back." Lin Jichen explained.

"It shouldn't be. I saw your expression at the time. It didn't look like you were just bored. Something unpleasant must have happened."

Qin Xiaowei believed in her own judgment. Lin Jichen was really depressed at the time. To use the popular words 20 years ago, it was emo.

Lin Jichen couldn't lie anymore, so he had to tell the truth.

"It couldn't escape Sister Xiaowei's eyes. I just said something blunt to a friend in the game and hurt her feelings."

"It was a girl, right?" Qin Xiaowei guessed it immediately."Yeah." Lin Jichen nodded.

"Then you must have rejected her."

"I guess so."

Qin Xiaowei smiled, she guessed it right.

"Do you like her?" Qin Xiaowei asked again.

Lin Jichen was stunned for a second, then shook his head and said, "I don't really like her, but I'm happy to be with her. She helped me a few times, and I helped her too. We are friends."

"I understand. We are more than friends, but less than lovers, right?"

Lin Jichen took a sip of beer and said with a wry smile, "Sister Xiaowei, you think too much. At my age, I just want to focus on my career."

"Yoyo, you are pretending to be mature. How old are you? At your age, isn't it time to enjoy dating and love?"

Qin Xiaowei teased, "Besides, you are so handsome. It's normal for girls to like you and pursue you. Don't be embarrassed."

"I'll ask you again, do you like your game friend more, or Xiaolan more?"

"Of course it's Renlan." Lin Jichen didn't hesitate at all.

"That's it. Tell the other party your attitude in time to prevent the girl from getting deeper and more sad in the future. This is a good thing. Sister appreciates you for this!" Qin Xiaowei praised.

Qin Xiaowei's words just hit the nail on the head for Lin Jichen, and that's what he was thinking.

"Let me sing you a song, maybe you'll feel better, it's a new song I wrote."

"Okay." Lin Jichen nodded immediately, looking forward to it.

Qin Xiaowei took out her guitar and started tuning it, and soon, a brisk melody accompanied by her clear and melodious voice rang out.

"You passed by under the scorching sun."

"Silent but like a breeze."

"The cicadas in midsummer sound like a song written for you."

"The fireflies in the woods are still flickering."

"Listen to the cicadas singing the song of the rainbow."

"I suddenly fell into a sweet dream and was at a loss."

"Look at the flowers, the rain, the clouds, and you."

"My heartbeat and breathing are so clear."

...

Qin Xiaowei's singing voice is clear and loud, yet gentle and soft, and when you listen to it again, it's like the gurgling water and the wind blowing the willows.

Listening carefully, Lin Jichen felt that the sky was vast and the clouds were relaxed, and the sea was calm, which instantly made her feel happy.

Her singing seemed to have magic power. Lin Jichen closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, enjoying this moment.

Qin Xiaowei sang while looking at Lin Jichen with a smile on her face.

She liked singing to Lin Jichen very much, and then she would be very satisfied when she saw him listening and enjoying it.

This was something that no one else could give her.

Second update~ I spent a long time thinking about the lyrics, which led to the late update. Sorry (scratching my head).
