The high-speed rail from Gaohe to Gaocheng takes more than 2 hours.
Lin Fan was the only one in the business class cabin, so it was quite quiet.
It would be better if Sister Tie didn’t come over to say hello so often.
There were still a bunch of taxis parked outside the station. When they saw passengers arriving, they all rushed over.
Lin Fan didn't want to wait for the bus any longer, so he just walked slowly. He asked directly in dialect how much it would cost to go to Lin's father's neighborhood, and finally chose a suitable price and got on the bus.
When I arrived at my door, I realized that I had left in a hurry and forgot to bring my keys.
There was no choice but to knock on the door.
Fortunately, it was evening, time to cook dinner, and there was someone at home.
When Lin's father opened the door and saw Lin Fan standing outside, he was stunned at first, then delighted. He grabbed his daughter's arm and pulled her into the house.
"Why didn't you call when you got back?"
The last time we met was during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Fan was angry when he found out that Lin's mother asked her dancing friend's nephew to come and visit him, so he ran away before the New Year was over.
Originally, Lin's mother should be angry about this matter.
But since the cause was her own, she can only bear the consequences of her own actions.
Later, because I felt guilty and because there was nothing important, I didn't dare to call Lin Fan.
Just last month, when Lin's mother was browsing her phone, she saw a short video of Lin Fan and John Woo shopping and eating in Chenghuang Temple.
As soon as she was sure that it was Lin Fan, she wanted to call and ask, but was stopped by Lin's father.
After some persuasion from him, and thinking that Lin Fan was now capable and that the New Year incident was not yet over, Lin's mother refrained from calling. She planned to find a suitable opportunity to ask next time.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan came back without saying a word.
Dad Lin was so happy that he decided to have a few more drinks in the evening to celebrate.
Mother Lin heard the noise, poked her head out of the kitchen, and was happy to see Lin Fan.
But then he took a quick glance at Lin Fan's clothes and began to frown.
"What are you wearing? Revealing so much? At your age, can't you be more cautious?"
Lin Fan knew that Lin's mother was usually very sharp-tongued, and this time he was in no mood to argue with her. He picked up his bag and walked towards his room.
"Look at you, you're worried about me when I'm not at home, and you have nothing nice to say when you come back!" Dad Lin pointed at Mom Lin with annoyance.
"What's wrong with her dress? Where is it exposed? She's young and beautiful, so what's wrong with wearing something fancy? Don't you like to be fancy when you're young?"
Mother Lin pursed her lips and, knowing she was in the wrong, retreated back to the kitchen to cook.
Father Lin put on a smile again and ran to Lin Fan's door and knocked. "Xiao Fan, are you on leave this time? How long can you stay?"
"I have some free time, so I'll stay for one night and come back to see you guys." Lin Fan forced a faint smile.
After half a year, Dad Lin seems to have gained weight again.
Lin Fan asked him how he was feeling, whether he had gone for a physical examination, and whether he had controlled his diet.
Dad Lin answered them one by one.
He is in good health and the physical examination showed no major problems, except for the chronic problems of high blood pressure and high blood lipids.
The diet is also normal, not too light, but not too greasy either.
Lin Fan asked him about his smoking and drinking habits, but his father just laughed it off.
In Lin's father's words, his life was given by cigarettes and alcohol. Asking him to quit smoking and drinking is the same as asking him to die, isn't it?
So even though the doctor always reminds him, it would be good if he can be self-disciplined for a few days.
Without happiness, what’s the point of living?
Lin Fan was always unable to refute his twisted logic.
Later, she herself became ill and realized that what he said was not without reason. She no longer pressured Lin's father to quit smoking and drinking, but only advised him to drink in moderation.
Father Lin always nodded in agreement. As for the appropriate amount... that's not necessarily the case.
Originally, Lin's father felt that his daughter seemed unhappy to be back home, and wanted to find out what was going on. However, the topic of alcohol and cigarettes made him feel guilty, so he ran away...
Lin Fan knew that he must have been lacking self-control recently.
Sighed.
Forget it! I can't be at home with them... As long as they are happy, that's all.
Lin Fan walked into the kitchen, wanting to help.
As a result, Lin's mother disliked this and that and drove him out.
Lin Fan knew she meant well, but her mouth was really annoying!
I simply stopped resisting and ran to the balcony to get some fresh air.
It’s almost July and the temperature is getting higher and higher, but there is an occasional cool breeze at night, which still makes people feel very comfortable.
Lin Fan didn't know why she suddenly came back, as if coming back could fill her uncertainty, so he just followed his feelings.
"Xiao Fan, come here, it's time for dinner." Dad Lin came in from outside and shouted.
Lin Fan looked back and saw that he was holding a large bottle of Coke. It seemed that he had bought this for her when he went out just now.
His nose felt a little sore again, but Lin Fan endured it, put on a smile and walked to the dining table.
"You came back late and the family didn't prepare anything. Fortunately, you like these two dishes." Lin's father poured a bowl of Coke for Lin Fan, and Lin's mother had already placed the dishes that Lin Fan once liked in front of her.
Braised prawns in oil and braised beef with yellow sprouts were indeed Lin Fan’s favorite dishes when he was a child.
Lin Fan clinked glasses with Lin's father, who had been waiting with his glass for a long time.
Lin's mother has diabetes and can't drink Coke, so she poured a glass of boiled water and clinked glasses with Lin Fan, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was so good, but Lin Fan felt that the food in his mouth seemed to have tasted better.
"Xiao Fan, are you and your colleague, Xiao Wu, doing well now?" Mother Lin finally couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?" Lin Fan, who was peeling shrimp, looked up and asked, "What? Who?"
"It was during the Chinese New Year..." Mother Lin felt a little guilty when she mentioned the Chinese New Year, but when she saw Lin Fan didn't react, she regained her confidence. "The colleague who video-called us."
"Oh, he's fine, what's wrong?" The shrimp meat is still tender, and even if you can't taste the flavor, the texture is still there.
"Are you two together?" Lin's mother asked again. Seeing Lin Fan's nonchalant expression, she became anxious. "Oh, you only care about eating. I'm asking you seriously!"
"No. Just an ordinary colleague." Lin Fan knew that Lin's mother wanted her to get married. This year it was John Woo, and last year it was Song Ren. She was used to it.
"Ordinary colleagues? How can that be?" Lin's mother pulled out her phone, pulled out a treasured photo, and placed it in front of Lin Fan. "Look! How do you explain it?"
Lin Fan tilted her head and saw a short video. It was indeed her and John Woo. She pointed with her pinky finger, but there was no response.
"That's a screenshot of the video. Your mother accidentally pressed something and left it in the album." Dad Lin explained with a smile.
"You're saying it! If I hadn't taken a screenshot, I wouldn't know where to find the video," Lin's mother complained. "I clearly saved it, but it disappeared when I went back to look for it a couple of days later. I can't even find it by searching for keywords. What a lousy internet!"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, knowing that this was most likely a case handled by the Special Affairs Office. Curiously, he asked, "What's in the video?"
She doesn't watch many short videos, so she doesn't know that she and John Woo had ever been in a video.
"You were eating, and Xiao Wu was holding the food behind you, and you turned around to feed him." Mother Lin said while pointing at the screenshot.
That screenshot was such a coincidence, it was the scene where Lin Fan turned around to feed John Woo, and John Woo lowered his head, smiled, and opened his mouth.
The person who posted the video also titled it "A good-looking couple showing off their love in the street, so disgusting."
After seeing it, Lin's mother clicked on the comments and saw all kinds of replies such as "envy" and "so sweet".
She was so happy holding her phone for several days, thinking that Lin Fan's lifelong event had finally been settled.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan now looked nonchalant.
Mother Lin was angry again.
Who was thinking about Lin Ma coming here before? Haha, I'll satisfy you, Lin Ma is coming out for a walk.
Many people are optimistic about John Woo and Lin Fan. As for these two people, the probability is currently impossible, haha.
But you can support a couple from other people's perspective, hehe, I support them too.
Poor Song Ren, no one cares about him. I have to give him some more drama.
A new kid joined the game today and left a message after chapter 16 saying that I was adding too many words.
As for me, I write a bit slowly and ramblingly, and I might not be able to control myself in the early stages, since I've just started. But I really don't mean to increase the word count. At least not on my own accord.
Think about it. I only make two or three hundred a month, and spending several hours a day on it is actually very uneconomical.
If I didn't want to finish it properly and not let it end badly, honestly, I wouldn't have to write this novel. Wouldn't it be nice for me to just lie down and play for a few hours every day? It's not like I need to make three hundred bucks a month, right?
So my goal now is to tell the story well and finish it, no matter the word count. When I finish it, I will definitely celebrate.
Since last August, when I started serializing, I haven't had any entertainment. I don't have time to watch movies, novels, or anything else. I'm completely focused on writing. Of course, I'm not good at writing. But I'm serious about it. Even though it's useless. Hahaha
The outline was changed several times at the last minute, and the kids saw it and were all very anxious. If it wasn't true love, who would shed so much hair for such a small amount of money in a month?
But I also know that compared to regular exciting novels, my pace is slow.
Anyway, I will continue to work hard, hehe
