Let's meet up

  In the days when Lin Yue was ignoring me, I also sincerely admired him because I always thought he was a particularly upright person. Although he is also very meticulous and will take steps to pave his life for himself, he has always walked on a very straight and honest path, looking down on crooked ways.

  But this time, I found out that Lin Yue is actually a person with bad intentions too, or you could say he's two-faced.

  When Yu Tian appeared in front of us, I knew that Lin Yue had brought me to the police station just to let me see Yu Tian's miserable appearance, and also to let Yu Tian see my intimate relationship with Lin Yue.

  This isn't Lin Yue's usual style, in my opinion, he did something that even he himself wouldn't be proud of. But I still couldn't tear down his platform, he helped me out a lot.

  I only glanced at Yu Tian and was led away by Lin Yue, the difference being that his hand moved directly from my shoulder to my waist, and in the summer heat, the temperature of his palm was naturally and completely transmitted to me, I didn't dare to lift my head.

  I didn't get a chance to talk to Yu Tian, but fortunately he doesn't seem to be seriously hurt.

  Junko and the others didn't talk to me either, because I never looked up.

  This hasty meeting makes me feel sad.

  Lin Yue took me and his classmates to a row of stalls, making a ruckus until midnight. There was nowhere else to go except the stalls. This time Lin Yue didn't drink, he just rolled up his sleeves to eat roasted skewers.

  I was sitting on one side, a bit absent-minded, and had to answer Lin Yue's questions from time to time. Of course, I also took the opportunity to hear about some of Lin Yue's affairs, such as how many years he hadn't been in love, and that the department flower had also pursued him back then.

  Later on, it was that classmate who got drunk and started lamenting about life.

  I finally found an opportunity to dodge Lin Yue's hand, he had been holding me for a whole night, I don't know if he was tired or not, but I felt very uncomfortable. If he just said I was his girlfriend in front of our classmates, I might not have minded, but saying it in front of Yu Tian made me feel very uneasy.

  It's not that I'm against Yu Tian, but I feel that Lin Yue has changed her principles, which is something I don't want to see. Even so, I don't dare to lose my temper with Lin Yue, all I can do is silently lower my head and use silence to express my bad mood.

  Lin Yue's mood wasn't great either, after that classmate got drunk and passed out, Lin Yue completely wiped the smile off his face and replaced it with a particularly icy expression, but I was quite familiar with it.

  Familiarity breeds familiarity, but also quite dislike.

  After sending Lin Yue's classmate home, I and Lin Yue started a new round of not speaking to each other. The difference was that this time it was me who ignored him. On the way, Lin Yue also brought up several topics, even smiling at me.

  I just said I was tired and lowered my head.

  I was really sleepy and had a bit of wine, so I fell asleep easily. In a daze, I felt Lin Yue carrying me down from the car, then he carried me upstairs, opened the door, and I bit his neck as revenge.

  The room was bright, I heard someone talking, but didn't hear clearly. Then Lin Yue brought me back to my own room, wiped my face with a towel and finally covered me with the quilt.

  Before he left, I rubbed my head and said, "Lin Yue, you're really an idiot today."

  I heard a laugh, and then my mouth was clearly kissed by someone, with a kiss that had the scent of roasted skewers, but I was too tired to resist.

  I woke up to find it was already the middle of the second day, I lingered in bed for a long time, and then roughly outlined the scene from the night before in my mind. Lin Yue carrying me back should have run into Uncle Lin, he shouldn't be staying up so late unless he was waiting for us.

  Uncle Lin must be angry, and Lin Yue must have insisted on getting me back to the room. And I should go and explain things properly to Uncle Lin, but I'm too afraid.

  I saw Uncle Lin as soon as I walked out of the room, he was watching TV with my mom. As expected, Uncle Lin also seemed to want to say something but held back when he saw me, and every time he tried to speak, my mom would just happen to say something that disrupted his rhythm.

  I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, then told my mom and Uncle Lin that I had agreed with friends to go shopping.

  I ran.

  After I went out, I called Junko. She was almost five months pregnant and although she was still working, she was half idle. As soon as she picked up the phone, we fixed a location.

  Actually, before I met Yoriko, I had already mentally prepared myself to accept her rapid-fire questioning. Even if she didn't ask me anything, I really needed an opportunity to unburden myself anyway.

  Last time I mentioned was about that little trouble with Yu Tian, this time I want to talk about Lin Yue.

  I thought after what happened yesterday, Junko and the others would definitely vote against Lin Yue. But after I said a few words, she asked me directly, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

  "Lie!" I replied with a straw in my mouth. Usually when she asks me like this, it means that lies are more acceptable, and I can understand her real meaning by adding a negative sign in my heart.

  Junco smiled slightly, very maternal, people who are about to become mothers look so much more mature, "What's with that brother of yours? I don't like him, he's not reliable, not as reliable as Yu Tian."

  That's what she really means.

  Lin Yue is quite good, she thinks it's okay, Lin Yue is more reliable than Yu Tian.

  I continued to bite on the straw, "So what's your point?"

  "Sister, you're silly. There's someone right in front of you, if you like him then go for it, if not then think of a way to make yourself like him. I don't think you'll meet anyone better than this in the future, even if you do, how many people with such good conditions would be wholeheartedly devoted to you? Just settle for what's good enough."

  Isn't Yu Tian good enough? I think Chunzi thinks Yu Tian is also very good, but after all, he can't compare to Lin Yue in any aspect. The only advantage is that he liked me earlier and I liked him earlier too.

  Besides, Yu Tian and I have a deep connection with each other, and I guess this is also the reason why Chunzi doesn't approve of us being together.

  "That day when we got married, Yu Tian being the best man was really unexpected. At that time, I thought you two might have something going on, but I didn't agree with it either。 You don't understand him, he's changed a lot over these few years and even us old friends can't see through him sometimes。 In the end, it's also because of you that he became like this。 But as a person, there needs to be some selfishness at times, unless you think you can really go back to how things were before with him, otherwise there's no need for you to get entangled with him again。"

  "I said, 'Do you think we can't go back either?'"

  "Difficult. Not impossible, but not necessary either. Don't you think you can live just fine without him? All these years he hasn't come back, we all thought Yu Tian had already adapted. Breaking the balance would be mutually destructive. These two times, he was both injured and fought for your sake, right? Yu Tian is not an immature person, but when he's with you, he becomes immature again. Not to mention this time, last time it was also your fault for misunderstanding him. He stopped you because he was afraid you'd get hurt, he himself was severely injured but didn't say anything so as not to scare you. How much can you understand him? You're still taking advantage of his liking for you and bullying him mercilessly. This brother of yours I don't understand, but I think this person can tame you, what you lack is someone to take care of you, not just being spoiled."

  I nodded, understanding what Chunzi meant. She wasn't taking sides with either me or Yu Tianzhong; she was just stating her own opinion.

  As for Yu Tian and me now, it seems that we are both wounded, fortunately the injuries are not serious, and there is still hope for recovery.

  I asked Chunzi to come out, and there's another thing, which is the 60,000 yuan that Lin Yue gave to Officer Zhao yesterday. To be honest, I think this matter could have been settled with just 6,000 yuan, but when I told Chunzi about it, she just laughed at me for being too naive.

  If Lin Yue hadn't helped out, Yu Tian would have really gone in and at least been sentenced to a few years.

  "Is it that serious?"

  Junko said, "If he hadn't almost died last time, we would have had to go visit him in prison by now."

  So, I really need to thank Lin Yue, and the money must be returned to him. It's not suitable for me to return it, so this money should be asked from Yu Tian. My intention is to let Chunzi convey my intention and then directly give Lin Yue's card number to him, without my involvement.

  Junko made a phone call to Yu Tian in front of me, then frowned and shook her head.

  "What does it mean?"

  Junko shook her head.

  "He won't give it? That's going too far."

  Yu Tian shouldn't have been unable to come up with the 600,000. The only explanation is that he didn't want to, didn't want to do something that would damage his self-esteem, or didn't want to accept Lin Yue's help.

  I'd rather just pay the money myself, but if I tell Lin Yue that it was Yu Tian who gave it to me, even if she finds out, she can't really do anything about it, and at worst, I'll just apologize.

  Junko also expressed her agreement with me.

  It wasn't long before my phone rang again. It was Yu Tian. He actually had my number and had really endured not calling me for so long.

  Should I answer or not? Junco couldn't bear my hesitant look and directly pressed the hands-free button for me.

  "Let's meet up and I'll give you the money."

  Go or not go?
