Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 213
213 Work hard
It had been three days since Zhou han had left for Guangzhou with assistant Xu. On the second day after Zhou han left, the newspaper reported that Ling LAN had been raped. It was said that she had been found in the grass by the park Road. In addition, Ling LAN had insisted that the person who had raped her was su Yicheng. This incident, in addition to the previous scandal with su Yicheng, had caused quite a lot of trouble for su Yicheng.
She was worried about Anran, so she called her and was relieved to know that she was in the military compound and hadn’t been affected by the outside world. In addition, Anran was afraid that she would misunderstand su Yicheng, so she specifically explained that su Yicheng had been by her side that night.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Li smiled. The faint smile on her lips was a sign of happiness for Anran. She was happy that she had walked out of the pain that mo Fei had caused her, happy that she could still believe in love, and happy that she had met su Yicheng.
What about her? Would she fall in love with Zhou han? Just like an ran and su Yicheng.
She didn’t know. There was no answer at all.
Also, after Ling Lan’s rape incident, mother Zhou and father Zhou were worried that their child’s emotions would be affected. The next day, they came to take the child back to the institution compound and told him to let Xiao bin come back after a while. They had originally wanted to let Lin Li go with them, but after considering that Lin Li still had to go to work, it would be too tiring for her to go back and forth, so they gave up. As for Xiao bin’s school, Lin Li asked for a long leave from teacher Chen. Fortunately, the child was still in kindergarten. It didn’t matter if it delayed his studies.
Zhou Han’s boyfriend could be considered a little lame. The two of them didn’t stop contacting each other in the past three days, but both of them did it a little according to the script and there was no fun to speak of.
Zhou han would send her a text message every morning, and the content was nothing more than a rough itinerary for the day. Then, in addition to text messages, he would also call her every night. However, perhaps the two of them were still a little unused to it, each phone call basically ended with a few words, and the longest was no more than a minute. And the content of the conversation in that one minute was still about the company’s operation.
Lin Li didn’t know that Zhou han already knew that Ling LAN didn’t exist. She guessed that he probably didn’t know yet because his tone and attitude were too natural. She couldn’t hear anything strange at all. Also, the time of his text messages and calls were also very regular. They were sent and called at the same time.
In fact, there were two times when Lin Li was about to say those words, but she never said them.
He turned off the computer and left the study room. He raised his hand to look at his watch. It was 9:30 in the evening, which was different from Zhou Han’s habit of calling once a day. He estimated that today’s phone call would still be at 22:30 as usual. 00 came in on time.
There was still half an hour of spare time. Lin Li took out a change of pajamas from the closet and went directly into the bathroom with the pajamas.
Lin Li was still sleeping in the guest room. There was no other reason. The main reason was that after living here for more than a month, she was really a little used to it. As for whether she would continue to sleep in the guest room or Zhou Han’s room in the future, Lin Li didn’t think about it for the time being. She would just take it one step at a time.
Lin Li grasped the time very accurately. When she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, it was just five minutes before 10 O ‘clock. She wiped her hair with a dry towel and sat directly in front of the dressing table, took her skin care products, and applied them on her face. She only did the simplest and most convenient basic care of her face with her usual lotion and lotion.
After Lin Li finished applying her skin care products, she turned over and sat on the bed. Zhou Han’s call still hadn’t come in. She raised her hand to look at the time. It was already past 10 O ‘clock. Today was an exception. It was a little late.
She didn’t think too much about it and just assumed that he was busy with social activities and work. She casually grabbed the magazine on the bedside table beside her and flipped through it. Time passed by second by second. When Lin Li finally flipped through all the magazines on the bedside table, the time had already jumped from 10 p.m. To 11 p.m. And Zhou Han’s call didn’t come in.
Lin Li turned her head and looked at the phone seriously for a long time. In the end, she took it and thought to herself that since the two of them had made up their minds to give it a try, then they had to really do their best and work hard. Regardless of whether the two of them would really fall in love in the future, at least their attitude had to be serious. He had already used his actions to show his sincerity. He called and texted her every day. If he didn’t call her, she could naturally answer him. This effort should belong to both of them.
With that thought in mind, Lin Li didn’t think about it anymore. She opened her phone’s contact list and found Zhou Han’s number. She answered the call immediately. The voice on the other side of the phone was very quick, but it wasn’t Zhou Han’s voice. It was the customer service lady of China Mobile. Her voice was sweet enough, but it was cold without any warmth.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not available. Please try again later …”
Putting down the phone in her hand, Lin Li frowned slightly, pouted, and muttered to herself, ” “Why did you switch off your phone?” She clearly remembered that he had sent her a text message in the morning saying that he was not too busy today. Compared to the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday, he was much more free.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Li called again, and the response she got was still the sweet but emotionless voice of the mobile customer service.
In the end, Lin Li couldn’t contact Zhou han. In the end, because her eyelids were too heavy, she really couldn’t stand it anymore. She pressed the button and put her phone aside, ready to sleep.
Lin Li didn’t know how long she had slept. She only felt a hand slowly sliding across her face in her daze, gently touching it.
Lin Li didn’t know who it was or whose hand it was. In her daze, she really opened her eyes. Before she could see the other party’s face clearly, she directly kissed him hard from the top to the bottom.
Lin Li, who had been sleeping, was jolted awake. She subconsciously reached out to push him away, making muffled sounds. The entire room was so dark that there was only a little light coming from the doorway. Lin Li couldn’t see who was kissing her at this moment, but the kiss and breath were somewhat familiar to her.
Biting her lips lightly, Zhou han pressed his forehead against hers and said, ” “It’s me.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Li was stunned. She stopped pushing him away. After a while, in the dark, Lin Li reached out and touched his face, then tentatively called out, ” “Zhou han?”
Zhou han laughed and said,”who else could it be if not me?.” As he spoke,’pa! Bang Bang’. He pressed the button in the room, and the whole room was suddenly illuminated by a faint yellow light. Lin Li was a little uncomfortable and raised her hand to block it before slowly raising her head.
She saw that Zhou Han’s shirt was a little crumpled, and his usually neatly combed hair looked particularly messy today. He looked travel-worn and tired.
Zhou han reached out and rubbed her short hair that was slightly curled up from her sleep. He said jokingly, ” “What, you don’t recognize me after not seeing me for three days?”
Upon hearing him say this, Lin Li came back to her senses and asked, ” “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming back? have you dealt with the things in Guangzhou?”
Zhou han nodded and explained simply, ” ” Yes, it’s all done. I have an important meeting tomorrow morning, so I have to rush back. ” As he spoke, he turned to look at the room and frowned slightly, asking, ” “Why did you move back?” He was referring to the fact that she had moved back into the guest room. When he didn’t see her in the room just now, he guessed that she was here. As expected, he opened the door and entered. He saw her sleeping soundly on the bed, even snoring slightly.
Lin Li was a little embarrassed by his question, and her face was a little hot. She subconsciously scratched her head and said, ” “I … I don’t like the bed.”
Hearing this, Zhou han didn’t think much of it and only said, ” you’ll get used to it in the future. From tomorrow onwards, you can sleep in the master bedroom and clear out the room so that there won’t be no guest rooms when someone comes in the future. Zhou han said it as if it was a matter of course. He had completely forgotten that his house had four rooms and two living rooms. Other than the master bedroom and Lin Li’s room, there was still an empty guest room in the house. It was the room that father Lin and mother Lin stayed in when they came, which was the room next door to this one.
Lin Li didn’t say anything. She didn’t nod or shake her head, and her attitude was a little unclear.
Zhou han didn’t say anything more. He rubbed her short hair, then stood up from the bed and said, ” “I’m going to take a shower. You sleep.” Then, he walked out of her room.
After he left, Lin Li turned her head and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was almost one in the morning. With Zhou Han’s disturbance, the sleepiness she originally had disappeared. She opened her eyes and lay on the bed for a while. Finally, Lin Li got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to get some water. When she went out of the room, she saw that Zhou Han’s room door was still open. He was coming back now. It took almost two hours to fly from Guangzhou to Jiangcheng, and it took at least 45 minutes from the airport to the city. He probably went to the airport directly after he was done with his business in Guangzhou.
After standing at the door and thinking for a while, Lin Li finally stepped forward and reached out to knock on his half-closed door. She didn’t hear a response for a long time, so she pushed the door open and went in. She saw that there was no one in the room, but there was the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. He was probably still taking a shower, and the luggage that he hadn’t had time to pack was still on the bed.
Looking at the slightly messy bed, Lin Li stepped forward and took out the clothes from the box. She hung them up one by one with a hanger and sent them into the cloakroom.
When Zhou han came out of the bathroom with his wet hair, Lin Li had already packed his luggage. Seeing him come out, she was so embarrassed that she didn’t know where to put her hands.
Zhou han looked at the neat bed and the suitcase standing at the side. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he said, ” “Why didn’t you go to sleep?”
Lin Li raised her eyes and looked at him. She swallowed her saliva and said, ” “Um, um, are you hungry? why don’t I make you a bowl of noodles?” She didn’t know if she could become Anran, and she didn’t know if he would be her su Yicheng, but she thought that since she had decided to try to start, then she should try her best.
Hearing this, Zhou han nodded and said with a smile, ” “I’m really a little hungry.”
“Then, then I’ll go out and cook for you. Dry your hair first.” Lin Li was obviously still not used to the change in her role. She hurriedly said this and went out directly.
Zhou han smiled and shook his head. He grabbed a dry towel and wiped his face casually. He thought of the meeting materials for tomorrow morning and went out of the room to the study.
