Chapter 649: If you like it, you just like it
Lin Tong shrank his neck in the cold wind of winter night, and suddenly realized that another year had passed.
The past two years seem to have passed very quickly, perhaps because his life has been turned upside down. Looking back on the gloomy and gloomy life in the past, it seems like a world away.
His studies are going very well, and his professional scores have always been the first in his grade. This is not easy in clinical medicine, a major with countless exams.
If you are someone like Su Chengyi or Chu Qingmian who is naturally smart, it is not difficult to do this.
But for Lin Tong, if he wanted to maintain such results, he did spend a lot of energy and kill a lot of brain cells, which is why he stayed in the library all day long.
It's not that he is pretending to be busy, he really feels that he has little talent and knowledge. The more he sees, the more he feels that he knows nothing.
Because of his good grades and the frank disclosure of his family situation to his counselor, the national scholarship naturally belonged to him.
Coupled with the part-time tutoring salary he applied for during the weekends, he had not asked his sister for living expenses for a long time, and he had almost saved up for next year's tuition.
This has always been the reason why Lin Tong studies so hard, because he wants to lighten the burden on his sister so that she can live her own life and not be trapped in the responsibility of taking care of him.
But the current situation has obviously changed.
Lin Zhiwan's "Lingzhiwan" account has become the leader in the food area. At the end of this year, she was named one of the top 100 up owners of the year.
This of course also brought her considerable profits. As a millionaire blogger, Han Bing was shocked and speechless when she took a look at the backend flow of Ling Zhiwan's account.
"You idiot, to be honest, Sister Lin's income from one video is as much as what you have been working hard for for a year. Why don't you stop bothering, focus on helping her, and increase the frequency of updates."
Han Bing is a blogger who understands the rules of making money on the Internet, and he is also a serious person. Of course, what he gives are objective and effective suggestions.
But Lin Tong thought about it again and again, and still felt a little embarrassed.
"The child I'm taking care of now has finally improved in his math scores. I think we'll finish the semester first."
The child's parents are very enthusiastic. Every time he goes to work part-time, he will prepare a large plate of fruit snacks for him. Sometimes he is busy with exams and the like and wants to take a leave, and they are very reasonable.
Lin Tong is the person who knows how to repay kindness best and has a sense of responsibility. Of course, he will not get off the bus halfway at this time.
Although the three melons and two dates he earned so hard are indeed not as good as a single video reward.
Mr. Yi is right. At the moment when the Internet era is undergoing huge changes, as long as they seize the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, it will be worth the lifetime of ordinary people like them.
But obviously for Su Chengyi himself, "taking a share of the pie" is obviously not what he wants. What he wants is to stand firmly at the forefront.
Thinking of this, Lin Tong couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Su Chengyi.
He only put on a woolen coat and came out. With his pockets in his pockets, he looked even thinner, as if he was going to melt into the misty night at any moment.
For some reason, Lin Tong suddenly felt a little flustered, so he subconsciously shouted:
"Mr. Yi."
Su Chengyi said "hmm" and did not turn to look at him. He just nodded and asked back:
"Go back first if you feel cold."
"No, I have something to tell you."
Lin Tong felt that as the New Year was approaching, he had to say something to persuade him to come out of the Shura Field incident.
If you continue to live like this with day and night reversed and irregularly, not only will you not be able to change the status quo, but you will also get sick and hospitalized like Sister Mian, which is simply not worth the gain.
The new year is coming, everything will get better, this is a new starting point!
After thinking about his words, Lin Tong took a deep breath and prepared to launch his long speech.
Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi turned his head and gave him a surprised look.
Then, he lowered his eyes and said:
"You don't have to say it, I know."
"Huh?"
Lin Tong was stunned.
Know? What do you know? He hasn't said anything yet. Could it be that he doesn't want to be fed chicken soup?
However, before Lin Tong could react, Su Chengyi continued to say:
"I know about Sister Lin."
"."
Lin Tong was silent for a long time. After realizing what he was talking about, his eyes widened in shock.
"!!!"
Su Chengyi really thought that Lin Tong was hesitating and hesitant, and what he wanted to say was this matter. After all, this was already a tacit secret between the two of them.
Lin Tong thought he didn't know, but he already knew.
Lin Zhiwan had written "Linglong Dice An Hongdou" on the paper so many times. If he hadn't realized it by then, then he was not being slow, but really stupid.
It's really a bit unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible to find.
In other words, Lin Zhiwan's performance was actually very obvious.
This was not her intention, but because she couldn't speak, every look she looked at quietly had the word "like" clearly written on it.
Therefore, as a younger brother who depends on each other for life and blood, Lin Tong must have noticed this a long time ago.
But he didn't know how to tell Su Chengyi, the client, and Su Chengyi didn't know how to tell his good friend about it, for fear that he would think that I treat you as a friend and you want to be my brother-in-law.
So, we procrastinated and kept things secret, until today.
Lin Tong rubbed his face hard and asked with difficulty:
"Sister, did she tell you herself?"
His question made Su Chengyi more certain of his judgment.
"No."
Su Chengyi shook his head.
"Mr. Yi, how did you know?"
Lin Tong's eyes were very confused. If even an iron tree like Su Chengyi could detect it, how obvious would it be for her sister?
At this level, the two rightful owners would have noticed it too!
"Didn't I drink some wine when I was having dinner at Brother Dafei's house that day? I lay down on the sofa at your house and took a nap for a while."
Su Chengyi recalled the scene at that time and recounted it.
Lin Tong remembered what happened that day and nodded nervously.
"She was practicing calligraphy. I accidentally picked up the paper and found that the poem written on it was, Exquisite dice and red beans, I miss you deeply and know you."
At this point, Su Chengyi was choked by the cool breeze and coughed.
But it's not actually cold, as if to create an atmosphere for New Year's Eve. Today is probably the warmest day since the beginning of winter in Beijing.
"Is that it? What if she just happened to practice that line of poetry when she was practicing writing."
Lin Tong asked cautiously. He felt that this reason alone was not sufficient.
"Before the university started, Sister Lin gave me a brocade bag with red beans embroidered on it."
Su Chengyi still hasn't taken off the bag of tips from her schoolbag, but now she has very little time to carry her schoolbag.
The brocade bag embroidered with the word "peace" hangs next to the bed in the dormitory, swaying gently in the wind when someone walks by. Lin Tong also knew about this tip.
He also has one, but it is embroidered with bamboo.
At first, Lin Tong comforted his sister that she might not understand the meaning of these flowers and grasses, but after receiving the bamboo, this idea was shattered.
The reason for sending bamboo is that "it is strong despite being struck hard and strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south."
So what else could be the reason for sending red beans?
It’s just this: red beans grow in the south, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches. I hope you will pick more of them, this is the most loved thing.
Lin Tong closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.
"If you can even tell it, Mr. Yi, it seems that my sister is really not a good at hiding her feelings, although she has no intention of letting you know."
"I know."
Su Chengyi nodded, there was no need to discuss this point.
If Lin Zhiwan knew that her thoughts were revealed and that both her brother and him knew it, she would probably run away like a frightened rabbit and would not be willing to appear in front of them for a year and a half.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Of course she wanted to hide it, hoping that only she would know her feelings.
She can't hear anything when she takes off her hearing aid, and she can't speak. This may give her some sense of security, similar to hiding her ears from others.
But how could she know? She couldn't hide her love. Even if she covered her mouth, it would still come out of her eyes.
"Sister, she didn't mean to bother you. Mr. Yi, you must not feel any burden."
Lin Tong's voice was low. He lowered his head and stared at the cracks in the tiles under his feet.
In fact, he was still hiding the second half of his sentence without asking.
That is, can we not feel that we have to avoid suspicion because of this, and then alienate her.
It's hard to imagine how sad my sister would be because of this incident. She couldn't speak originally, so no matter how sad she was, she could only digest it silently.
Being able to have someone she likes is probably a rare blessing and luxury in life for her. She will never overthink it, she just hopes to take a look at him from a distance.
If he is happy, she will be happy too.
My sister was originally this kind of person, connected by blood, and Lin Tong understood her better than anyone in the world.
Su Chengyi took a breath, and the hot breath he exhaled quickly rose up in the cold night air and condensed into white mist in front of his eyes.
"I don't feel burdened by it."
In order to strengthen the persuasiveness of this sentence, he continued:
"If it were someone else, there might be a little bit more, but Lin Zhiwan, not so much."
Hearing what he said, Lin Tong's hanging heart finally quietly fell to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Chengyi didn't say this just to comfort Lin Tong, it was actually the truth.
In addition to Chen Jinzhi and Chu Qingmian, there are indeed other people who express their love for him in a high-profile way, such as Liang Nina and even Jian Xiao.
Liang Nina's love is very much like a child's love for a favorite toy. At first, she desperately wanted to get it, but later developed to the point where she could be satisfied just by looking at it from the outside of the glass showcase.
Jian Xiao's was more like a blowjob. Su Chengyi guessed that she had said those words to about 180 male college students, and it was a very frivolous and casual liking.
All of these are different from Lin Zhiwan.
She was too quiet for her liking.
He didn't ask for anything in return from the beginning, he didn't have any extravagant expectations, and he sincerely felt happy because of his happiness.
Compared to others, Su Chengyi felt more from Lin Zhiwan that he could not afford such selfless feelings.
"Mumu, do you think Sister Lin just regards her gratitude for me as love?"
he asked.
In fact, it is not unreasonable, because he appeared during the darkest time in the lives of the two siblings, and personally pulled them out of the mire and brought them back to the sunshine.
Lin Zhiwan had been trapped in making a living for the first half of her life, and had never had a relationship experience. Suddenly seeing a person like him, her heart beat faster, and it was not impossible that she mistakenly mistook this gratitude for love.
"No."
Unexpectedly, Lin Tong shook his head with absolute certainty, denying his speculation.
"Mr. Yi, if I like you, I just like you. Just like you know very well that Chen Jinzhi and Chu Qingmian like you just like you.
In the final analysis, my sister's love is no different from theirs. The only difference is that she doesn't want the ending from the beginning. ”
"."
At this point, Su Chengyi raised his head and sighed softly.
"If I said that I couldn't give any response, would you think I was a little cruel?"
"No."
Lin Tong smiled and looked up at the sky with him.
The night sky in Beijing was filled with neon lights and not a single star could be seen.
He suddenly thought of the stars he had seen with his sister in the yard when he was a child. They were so close that they seemed like they could reach out and touch them, just like the poems he learned in class.
The stars hang down over the vast plains, and the moon surges over the river.
"Mr. Yi, I want to say thank you."
"Why?"
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and asked subconsciously.
"Actually, since I was a child, I have always felt that my sister was not happy. Of course, it is difficult to live happily like the life we lived before.
But my sister is different from me. She always pretends to be strong in front of me, as if nothing can defeat her, whether it is a poor life or her inherent flaws. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Tong's eyes hidden behind his lenses instantly became moist.
"But I know that she is not that strong, it is just the responsibility of taking care of me that is pulling her forward.
So I study very hard, and I want to grow up quickly so that I can take care of her. But the harder I tried, the more uneasy I felt.
Because I found that she was not looking forward to a life that would become easier in the future, but more of a relief. She seemed not to remember much of this world, only the fatigue and fatigue accumulated over the years.
If even the last responsibility of taking care of me can be removed, then what else in the world can keep her. ”
"Fortunately, Mr. Yi, you showed up at this time.
You may think it's a bit exaggerated when I say this, but it is indeed through this love for you that my sister realizes that her life is alive and her life has meaning. ”
