Chapter 270 The Calm before the Storm

Sorry, this chapter is a little late. )

I turned around and looked out the window. By now, the world outside had gradually quietened down and many shops were closed.

Sitting in Lin Ya's photography shop, I couldn't help thinking about that girl.

She had brought me a lot of warmth and strength, and without her, I, Meng Xingyun, would not have been like this.

For her, I will always have a sense of gratitude, I really feel very fortunate to be able to let me have such a god-given confidante.

Our relationship is like family. I have always felt that our friendship is as solid as gold. No gossip can destroy our friendship, but now it has been destroyed by me.

I thought about how Lin Ya looked at school, and a simple girl with a ponytail came to mind. She was innocent, mindless, and under the lush trees, she quietly read the book, immersed in the sea of knowledge. The scene was full of dreamy natural colors.

There was something pure about her that made her focus on one thing, and her focus made her even more attractive.

I couldn't help but think. In high school, Lin Ya and I were the standard slackers and bullies, two students who would never cross paths, but now they have become best friends. I don't know what kind of fate we have.

I couldn't help but wonder, if I had known Lin Ya back then, what kind of sparks would have happened between me as a scum and her as a bully?

In fact, on second thought, Lin Ya didn't change much. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Ya does give people a feeling of aloofness and arrogance. Unfamiliar people may feel that Lin Ya is not approachable. She always keeps a good distance from others, but if you really get to know Lin Ya well, you will find that she is very different from what you think. Sometimes she talks a lot and is sarcastic. She was a very down-to-earth girl.

It was because I had known Lin Ya for so many years that I felt that lin ya had changed, but she didn't! It's just that Lin Ya, who has been close to me for so many years, has always been a familiar friend, so she doesn't find it difficult for Lin Ya to be introverted or anything. Ling Xinyan is talking about how she behaves to others, and lin ya is naturally different to us friends and to others.

"What about you? How did you two know each other?" Ling Xinyan asked me again.

"We used to work together at a wedding photography store."

"Oh." Ling Xinyan nodded and she said to me, "Eat. You're welcome."

Seeing that I didn't eat much with my chopsticks, Ling Xinyan said something to me again, so I had to move my chopsticks. Actually, I'm not too hungry. When I came, my mind was full of worries about Lin Ya. So I thought about it and asked, "Ling Xinyan, did something happen to Lin Ya these two days?"

"Just call me Xinyan." Ling Xinyan smiled and then replied, "Nothing!"

"Is there anything wrong with her?" I was still a little worried and asked again.

"Quite normal! She's not only busy with the photography shop, but also with the renovation of a cake shop. There's really nothing to do except to get tired." Ling Xinyan shrugged and replied, "She doesn't have time to be abnormal, okay?"

"Could something happen to the bakery?"

"I don't think so. Lin Ya didn't even mention it." Ling Xinyan frowned and said, "Besides, it's only decoration now. I heard that it's still a few months away from work. It shouldn't be a problem."

It seemed like there was really nothing going on. Perhaps Lin Ya's state of being published was just a passing emotion.

"Well, why don't you give me your cell phone number? I'll tell you if anything happens. How about that?" Ling Xinyan smiled.

Without any reason to refuse, I quickly exchanged phone numbers with Ling Xinyan.

Then I saw that it was getting late, so I said to Ling Xinyan, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"What's the hurry? Let's sit for a while."

"No, it's really late. You should close the door early, too. It's not safe if it's too late."

I stood up and prepared to leave. Ling Xinyan accompanied me to the door. I suddenly thought of something and said to Ling Xinyan, "Xinyan, don't tell Lin Ya about me coming to the store today. Don't tell her I've been here, okay?"

"I understand." Ling Xinyan nodded and understood.

I smiled at Ling Xinyan.

Then I left the photography shop.

On the way, I couldn't help but look back at the sign of angel children's photography, and my heart was still not calm.

The thought of not being able to reconcile with Lin Ya and meet Lin Ya for a long time made me feel especially bad.

Friendship...

Love...

I felt as if there were two scythes hanging above my head, which would stab at my heart at any time.

Before, I was worried about Ling Xinyan, but after today's contact and understanding, I was more or less relieved about Ling Xinyan, feeling that she was still a pretty good girl. Since lin ya is willing to work with her, she must also trust Ling Xinyan, and I should trust Lin Ya.

On the way back, I couldn't help but think about it. I felt like I was hanging on a rope hanging in the air. The rope was shaking and could break at any time, and I could fall down and break into pieces at any time.

But right now, I'm like a tightrope walker, standing on the rope seemingly steadily, but no one can understand my feelings.

In my heart, I have really accumulated too many thoughts, no one told me.

In the past, I would tell Lin Ya anything. Now that I think about it, she feels like my trash can. I go to her for everything. She really helped me solve a lot of problems.

But now, I can't tell anyone what's on my mind. I can only keep it in my heart, keep it in, keep it in!

At this time, I actually need Lin Ya more than Ding Ge. I need someone who can talk to me and talk to me.

And when I'm with Lin Ya, I don't need to say much at all. Most of the time, Lin Ya can understand how I feel, and she doesn't have to comfort me. I feel much better just being with me quietly.

...

Time continued to flow forward. If it was really a small river, then we could not see any signs of flow. Its surface was as calm as a mirror. You could not feel its flow at all. It was as quiet as if it was not a liquid but a solid.

Another few days of peace!

In the calm, I could smell the storm again, although everything seemed calm.

Ding Ge had no news at all, but sometimes no news was the best news. I can only numb myself like this.

Lin Ya had no news at the moment. Even if Ling Xinyan's phone number was added to her phone, she never called me.

These two girls, the ones I wanted to focus on, were hard to find out about.

I don't like this feeling. I don't like it very much.

Besides my own business, the things around me seemed to be in a strange state, like many ropes were connected, but it was not very strong, and even there would be a dangerous connection between all the broken ropes.

I live a careful life every day, and I always feel that this kind of peaceful life will not be too long.

On this day, I was about to go to Wang Mengmeng's pond to buy some fish, so I asked for Hu Zi's car keys. I had told Hu Zi and Old Gao before that the fish in the pond was cheap, so I could work with them in the future. The two of them didn't say anything. This was a trivial matter. I always went to the pond to buy fish.

However, on this day, Old Gao suddenly said to me, "Xing Yun, I'll go with you."

My body shuddered, and there was a hint of panic in my eyes. Then I quickly controlled my emotions and said to Old Gao with a chuckle, "Don't you want to go to the pond?"

"I don't know why, but I just wanted to see it."

"Really?" I smiled stiffly.

Old Gao nodded and said, "Let's go."

"This..." I scratched my head and said, "Just buy some fish. We don't need to go alone. I can go by myself. I think you should stay in the restaurant. The pond is rather stagnant now, so you won't feel sad after looking at it."

Since I promised Wang Mengmeng not to tell Old Gao that she was in the pond, I thought it would be better to try my best to stop Old Gao from going to the pond.

"It doesn't matter." Old Gao said nonchalantly, "The restaurant isn't busy right now. It'll be back soon anyway."

"Then, why don't you go by yourself? You can go alone anyway. It's the same for everyone. You can just tell the people in the pond that you belong to the Xingyun hotel." I handed the key to Old Gao.

Old Gao did not suspect anything. He took the key and left the restaurant.

When I saw Old Gao leave, I immediately rushed to the backyard and quickly took out my cell phone to call Wang Mengmeng. Since Old Gao was going to the pond, Wang Mengmeng had better hide. At this time, the only way I could think of was to call Wang Mengmeng.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable!"

However, at the critical moment, Wang Mengmeng's phone couldn't get through, and she didn't know if she was in the pond.

I was even more anxious!

I couldn't get through to Wang Mengmeng's cell phone. I was at a loss. I thought about it for a while and then called Guzheng.

After Guzheng got through, I hurriedly said, "Guzheng, where are you?"

"I'm at the company. Now, what's wrong?" Guzheng also recognized my anxious tone and asked quickly.

"No, Old Gao suddenly wanted to go to the pond today. I didn't stop him. Now he's on his way to the pond. I called Wang Mengmeng to get her out of the way, but Wang Mengmeng's phone couldn't get through. Do you have any other way to get in touch with Wang Mengmeng?"

I feel like things are really in a hurry! If we can't inform Wang Mengmeng and let him meet Old Gao, god knows what will happen!
