Fake it on a dating show

When Lin Xingyue woke up in a daze, it was already dark.

She was lying on the sofa, only a floor lamp was lit on the side of her calf, the brightness was adjusted to the lowest level of warm light, and a thin quilt was covered on her body.

The living room was empty.

There was the sound of a key turning from the entrance, and someone walked in, and then Lin Xingyue heard a dog barking.

"Shh-"

Zhao Minglang carried the dog into the door, walked through the entrance in the dark, and saw Lin Xingyue sitting on the sofa, as if he had woken up, so he turned on the light.

"Sorry, I fell asleep."

Asking Zhao Minglang to fetch the dog back alone, Lin Xingyue felt a little embarrassed, her mind was still confused, her eyes were blurred, and the first thing she did was to rub her eyes and apologize.

"I need more rest when I'm sick." Zhao Minglang said, "I'm going back to work tomorrow, and it needs your help to take care of it."

Lin Xingyue yawned and nodded, but she was not fully awake yet.

"If you're sleepy, go back to your room and continue to sleep. There's nothing else to do." Zhao Minglang said, "There are vacant rooms upstairs, and the beds are all new. Go upstairs to the second door on the left."

Lin Xingyue questioned a few times in a daze, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she stumbled upstairs with a blanket in her arms.

She left the glasses on the coffee table, Zhao Minglang settled the little milk dog, and helped her put the glasses on by the way.

Pushing open the door of the second bedroom, Lin Xingyue was already obediently lying on the bed, curled up, the quilt was only half covered, Zhao Minglang was afraid that she would catch a cold at night, so he covered the quilt again, closed the window, and finally returned to the bedside.

"Xingyue..."

Zhao Minglang let out a low cry, and reached out to touch her forehead.

The fever has completely subsided.

The drowsy person responded with a "hmm", but flinched when the hand stretched out, it was not obvious, but Zhao Minglang felt it.

[Can you save her? ]

Zhao Minglang suddenly remembered what Mo Yushuang said before leaving.

There were thousands of words in her heart, and there was nothing left in her throat. There were many questions and comforting words, but in this quiet moment, she could only sigh silently.

"Be good." In the end, she could only talk to herself.

Zhao Minglang lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

As soon as she closed her eyes, it was the last words Mo Yushuang said to her.

Mo Yushuang's affection for Lin Xingyue was inexplicable. Ever since she stepped into the entertainment circle, Zhao Minglang had never seen her being particularly kind to anyone. It is normal to be uncertain.

Usually smiling one second, then throwing things over with a cold face the next.

Even the "friends" who had been acquainted with each other since entering the circle could not escape.

If her family background was not strong enough, she would have been kicked out of the entertainment industry long ago.

At first, Zhao Minglang thought that Mo Yushuang would not be too harsh on Lin Xingyue because of his face, but he never thought that she would treat Lin Xingyue like her own sister.

——Maybe even closer than her own sister, after all, her family relationship is not very good.

why?

Zhao Minglang asked.

"She is very similar to me before." This was Mo Yushuang's answer.

She stretched out her hand, compared a short distance between her index finger and thumb, and then pulled it closer.

"Now she's standing on that critical line. Like me before." Mo Yushuang said, "But I haven't met anyone who can rush to catch me with just one glance. At that time, no one came to rescue me .”

Mo Yushuang smiled, mocking herself, she let out a long sigh and collapsed on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, avoiding Zhao Minglang's gaze.

"So I'm a rotten person now."

Zhao Minglang was stunned for a moment.

She wanted to say that you are quite self-aware, but seeing Mo Yushuang's rare appearance of showing weakness, she really felt a little pitiful.

Mo Yushuang obviously didn't want her sympathy, so he didn't even look at her.

Only then did Zhao Minglang realize that those might be her sincere words.

As rivals who have hated each other since childhood, the relationship between Zhao Minglang and Mo Yushuang has never been very good, but she is also one of the people who can see the changes of the latter most clearly.

When Mo Yushuang was a child, she was a standard child of other people's family. She was smart, beautiful and energetic. Everyone in the Mo family had high hopes for her.

Her magnanimous and bright future can be seen at a glance-the most watched family heir, after the marriage, she will use her extraordinary talents and abilities to raise the family's prestige to a higher level, and become a celebrity who is envied and admired by others...

It is not an exaggeration to praise "the proud daughter of heaven".

However, I don't know if it's because these praises have turned into pressure, or because of the excessive lack of love in childhood, or some other changes, Mo Yushuang has been outstanding for 20 years, and finally ushered in the belated rebellious period on the eve of the engagement ceremony.

Ms. Mo Er, who has always been calm, self-possessed, dignified and generous, ran away from home overnight. Under the threat of her family severing ties, she ran away without looking back.

Afterwards, she stepped into the film and television city by accident, started running from the outside, and became a well-known star by her own efforts.

Later, when Mo Yushuang was acting, she was bullied in the circle. She gritted her teeth and nearly lost her life. She was in a coma for several days in the hospital.The Mo family, who were secretly following her movements, showed up in a hurry. After all, they couldn't bear to part with their daughter and sister, so they bowed their heads and chose to reconcile.

Mo Yushuang did not refuse again.

It was also since then that Mo Yushuang had died as if she had really died once. The once understanding Miss Mo Er was gone, and what was left behind was a popular star who was arrogant and willful and made countless people hate her teeth.

Zhao Minglang didn't like Mo Yushuang before, and he still can't understand her now.

It's not because I feel that the other party is walking on the wrong path, but because it has nothing to do with me, and I don't even have the desire to understand it in depth.

But getting involved with Lin Xingyue was another matter.

Looking at Lin Xingyue's sleeping face, as obedient and quiet as when she woke up, it was hard for Zhao Minglang to imagine that she would become like Mo Yushuang—but then he thought about it, before Mo Yushuang broke with his family, She didn't expect the other party to have such a rebellious side.

The more well-behaved and silent people are, the more unexpected they explode.

Moreover, Zhao Minglang also noticed Lin Xingyue's sleeping position, even when leaning against her, he curled himself up as much as possible.

Typical insecure pose.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Minglang didn't mock Mo Yushuang anymore, even if the other party casually walked away with the last box of cakes in her refrigerator, she was just meditating quietly.

Mo Yushuang didn't even close the refrigerator door, just leaned against the door, eating cake while watching Zhao Minglang's expression.

After a long while, she finally made sure that Zhao Minglang didn't mean to scold her severely, and felt a little bored, but also inexplicably relieved, as if it was a matter, and she lost interest when it was handed over to the next stick.

"Can you save her?" Mo Yushuang asked her.

This is the most sincere sentence she has ever said.

Zhao Minglang sent her to the door, looked into her eyes, and said, "Okay."

The lights in the corridor were not turned on, only the moon and stars were shining in the sky outside the corridor, Zhao Minglang couldn't see Mo Yushuang's face clearly, but he could feel her smile.

"Thank you." Mo Yushuang said.

The next day, company.

Because there was a morning meeting in the morning, Zhao Minglang had to get to the office early. Of course, Lin Xingyue hadn't woken up yet, so she left a note.

I don't think there is anything when I am busy with work, but once I am free, I can't help but think about it.

Zhao Minglang was indeed seeing Lin Xingyue for the second time, and he didn't know anything about her family background until now. He just guessed that the family's conditions would not be too bad, so he secretly asked a group of friends when he was busy, but no one had heard of her. With this name, he guessed that he was not someone from their circle.

The three characters "Lin Xingyue" are not uncommon from surname to first name. Even if it is only in the west of the city, it is difficult to accurately identify people, let alone in the east of the city, which occupies a larger area and has more people.

When he was free, Zhao Minglang recruited an assistant, but he didn't say anything, and he was afraid that the behavior of over-exploring privacy would make the other party feel hurt, so he changed his words temporarily.

"There is a newcomer under our company named Lin Wenxuan, go and find out what's going on."

Just after listening to the assistant's work report, Zhao Minglang received a text message from Lin Xingyue.

Lin Xingyue said that she had found a part-time job distributing leaflets, and she could walk the dog while she was there, and thanked her for the breakfast she left before going to the company in the morning. Because she was afraid of disturbing her work, she only sent a text message to let her know.

It's a business-like attitude.

After Zhao Minglang swept his eyes, he tapped to reply.

[where? ]

The other party quickly sent a reply, and even explained the time.

[Near the park on Jinye Road, it ends at [-]:[-], and you can go back before [-]:[-]. ]

Jinye Road is in the opposite direction of the company, the location is a bit off, and it is not prosperous enough compared to the city center. Since Zhao Minglang moved here, he has only been to that park once.

[be careful. ]

After sending out this reminder, Zhao Minglang put the phone aside, and finally confirmed the work schedule with his assistant.

"You should be fine after get off work today, right?"

"Sister Cen made an appointment to see you two days ago, just tonight." The assistant paused, and then added, "I inquired about it, and I'm here for Lin Wenxuan, and I want to talk about the role in the new drama."

Sister Cen is the manager of their company and the person who signed Lin Wenxuan. She is very optimistic about this good-looking rookie and has been fighting for resources for him. She even mentioned it several times in front of Zhao Minglang on purpose.

Zhao Minglang never refused anything that could bring positive benefits to the company, and originally he also acquiesced in the other party's small actions.

Unfortunately, recently, a newcomer got famous in front of her.

Zhao Minglang heard the words and said without hesitation: "Push."

The assistant glanced at her and asked, "Then if Sister Cen asks..."

Zhao Minglang said casually, "I'll talk about it when I'm free."

It seems that there will be no time in a short time.

The assistant nodded to express his understanding, and turned around to go out to convey Mr. Zhao's meaning on his behalf.

Sister Cen, who came to wait outside the office ahead of time, had a stiff face when she heard the words. She greeted the assistant politely, and when she turned her head, her face sank.

As for how he called and asked Lin Wenxuan when he offended Mr. Zhao, that's another story.

park.

Lin Xingyue led the dog and followed an old lady around the park.

Most of the people in the park were middle-aged and elderly people, and they would come to the park for a walk and exercise when the weather cooled down in the evening. When she first came, Lin Xingyue grabbed the flyer and looked at the assigned address displayed on her phone for a moment in a daze.

Words such as "swimming and fitness" are impressively listed on the flyer.

Fortunately, most of the old people are warm-hearted, and it may be because Lin Xingyue is cute and lovable. The old people recognized her as a work-study college student, and kindly accepted the useless flyers in her hand. He also took the initiative to talk to her.

The last aunt who took the leaflet invited Lin Xingyue to accompany her around and talk by the way.

Lin Xingyue saw that the time had not yet come, so she nodded and agreed.

After unilaterally asking about her study and life, the auntie couldn't help but start complaining about her family's affairs. From her wife with a bad memory to her son who became colder and then to her rebellious grandson, Lin Xingyue felt sympathetic and comforted her, But it aroused the other party's desire to confide even more.

Lin Xingyue was not good at rejecting people, so she finally got away when her aunt suddenly remembered that she was going back to cook.

Looking at the time again, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Delay was the second thing. When she got to the station, Lin Xingyue realized that the last train had just left.

The entrance of the park is located in a remote location, and only two buses pass by in total.

Lin Xingyue looked at the start and end points of the other train without hope, and as expected, luck did not favor her, and the last train of the other train ended even earlier.

I still remember the way back, but I was somewhat frustrated.

Lin Xingyue sat down on the seat in front of the station. The nights approaching summer come late, and the genius will be dark. The city advocates energy saving and emission reduction. The park is one of the sections where the street lights are lit at the latest. At this time, only The stop sign with the advertisement in the back is brightly lit.

She decided to sit here and rest for a while, and wait for the street lights to turn on before leaving.

After rubbing her sore calf, and then rubbing the head of the puppy who was a little anxious because of hunger, Lin Xingyue put the phone on her lap, and was going to tell Zhao Minglang about her late return.

The other party may have already left work, or maybe not, but just in case, it is not a good thing to break one's trust.

[Something happened on the way, maybe I will go back later.Arrive about nine o'clock. ]

Lin Xingyue didn't expect to receive any response when she sent the message, so she put down her phone and picked up the dog, thinking about how to solve its dinner problem.

The cell phone rang almost in the next second.

Lin Xingyue was taken aback when she saw the words "Zhao Minglang" on the caller ID, but she still picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"look up."

Lin Xingyue raised her head subconsciously, and a black car slowly stopped in front of the station, and the front windows were slowly lowered.

Just at this time when the lights were on, the sudden light was a bit dazzling, Lin Xingyue squinted her eyes, and saw Zhao Minglang's face in the fainted warm light.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Zhao Minglang smiled at her, almost blending into the cold and warm light behind him.

A gentle voice came to Lin Xingyue's ears from the front and the phone at the same time.

"boarding."

Lin Xingyue was speechless while clutching the phone, only feeling her heart beating a little faster.
