Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 172: The Fairy Falls to Earth

In the next few days, Lin Yuan would go downstairs for a morning run every morning with great energy, and meeting Andy became a daily routine.

The experience of sharing the hardships during the last elevator accident and Lin Yuan's witty and humorous words made Andy's initial slightly reserved morning jog gradually become natural and smooth.

In the evening, he would drive to pick up Guan Juer after get off work. Guan Juer's work was busy and complicated, and overtime was common. Sometimes she would even be busy until after ten o'clock in the evening.

When work is almost over, Guan Juer will call Lin Yuan, exercising her exclusive privilege as a girlfriend, and say with a look of dependence, "Can you come pick me up?"

When Lin Yuan received the call, he naturally would not refuse and responded gently.

It's impossible for him to always pick up Guan Juer, so it would be good to spend more time with her while he can still accompany her wholeheartedly and without other trivial matters.

Every time he held Guan Juer's hand or gently embraced her in his arms, Lin Yuan could feel her shy and sweet response.

Guan Juer's personality is introverted and reserved, and the two of them have just started dating. Naturally, she would not take the initiative to publicize her relationship like the foolish Qiu Yingying. She would rather hide this sweetness deep in her heart and savor it slowly.

This was also the main reason why she didn't want Lin Yuan to send her to work in the morning.

She enjoyed the tranquility and sweetness that belonged only to the two of them and did not want to expose herself to the public's eyes too early. However, if the other four beauties really noticed something, she would not deliberately hide it.

However, Lin Yuan did not take any further action.

It's not that I'm deliberately restraining myself, nor am I holding the idea of ​​'more haste, less speed', but I feel from the bottom of my heart that such a simple way of getting along is also very warm and beautiful.

Guan Juer is now innocent and naive, like a pure little flower in bud, emitting a fresh and natural aura. What's wrong with letting her retain this innocence for a few more days?

Moreover, he would get the reward for winning the bet in a few days, so Lin Yuan had the patience to wait.

Friday. Evening.

Lin Yuan was leisurely staying at home, chatting enthusiastically with his book friends in the group. Guan Juer was working overtime as usual, and specifically told Lin Yuan not to go to the company early to wait for her downstairs.

Although Lin Yuan told her that she should learn to appropriately refuse unreasonable overtime and not push herself too hard, Guan Juer's personality made it impossible for her to just give up her work.

Moreover, Guan Juer was very smart and learned to use what Lin Yuan had said to refute him. She argued that one should exercise one's abilities and accumulate more experience while still young.

Lin Yuan did not have a strong demand for this. Since Guan Juer was busy, he would have time to do other things. Anyway, when the time came when he really needed Guan Juer's full-time company, it would not be too late to let her stop working overtime.

A soft knock on the door broke the silence in the house.

This style of knocking on the door can first exclude Qu Xiaoxiao.

Lin Yuan stood up and opened the door with some doubts, only to see Andy standing at the door gracefully.

She wore a simple black and white shirt that perfectly outlined her round figure, and a black straight suit on the lower body. The straight trousers made her legs look straight, and she wore a pair of black patent leather high heels on her feet.

Her shoulder-length hair is neat and tidy, her eyes are bright and lively, and her lips are painted with a light nude lipstick, which adds a touch of softness to her cool temperament.

This was the first time that Andy took the initiative to come to him. A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "Andy, what brings you here?"

"Lin Yuan, can you lend me your phone? My lock is broken. I need to call 911 and ask the firefighters to open it for me."

Andy looked calm, but there was a barely perceptible hint of helplessness in his tone.

She originally planned to stay in the company to work overtime tonight, but was forced to stop by Tan Zongming.

Let her go home early on the weekend to have a good rest, find a few friends to chat and relax.

As a result, when she came back and went out to throw away the garbage, the electronic lock suddenly broke down, and she didn't bring her cell phone with her when she went out.

There was no one at 2202 and 2203, so she had no choice but to go upstairs and ask Lin Yuan for help.

Lin Yuan laughed after hearing this. When he called the police a few days ago, he knew it was 110. Now he has to call 911, right?

But when Andy talked about 911, he thought of another magical number that was somewhat similar.

Andy blinked and continued, "I went to 2202 and 2203 and knocked on their doors, but they weren't home."

Lin Yuan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, pretending to be hurt and said, "You don't have to explain that you didn't come to me on purpose. Are you afraid that I will think too much? I am a little sad when you do this."

Andy was slightly startled, then he burst into laughter: "That's not what I meant."

Lin Yuan was just being funny, so he didn't dwell on the topic any further. He said, "Why call 911 if the lock is broken? This is China, so it should be 119. But there's no need to bother them for something like this. Let me help you check it out. What kind of lock is that?"

Andy was a little helpless: "Then I'm sorry to bother you. It's an electronic lock. It was working fine before, but it suddenly broke down."

Lin Yuan frowned and pondered, "If it's an electronic lock, that's a bit troublesome. Logically speaking, you just renovated it, so there shouldn't be any problems. Let me think... maybe there's no power?"

"No power?" Andy repeated subconsciously.

"You wait for me."

Lin Yuan left Andy at the door and went back to the house to get the power bank. Andy was a little surprised: "What is this?"

"A power bank. Maybe it will work. Let's try it first."

Lin Yuan and Andy walked down the 22nd floor side by side. Andy's high heels made crisp sounds with every step, showing her competence and elegance.

Arriving at the door of 2201, Lin Yuan leaned over and carefully observed the lock for a while, then firmly inserted the other end of the power bank into the socket. The electronic lock instantly restarted, lit up with a "beep", and a mechanical voice came: "Welcome."

Andy's face instantly lit up with surprise.

"Please enter the password." Lin Yuan turned his back considerately.

Andy raised the corners of his mouth, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, and praised sincerely, "You are amazing."

Her fingers moved lightly on the combination lock and she entered the password. There was a crisp "click" and the door opened.

Lin Yuan was not modest either. With a confident smile on his face, he agreed with a smile: "I often feel the same way."

"I'll treat you to dinner as a token of my gratitude."

Lin Yuan readily agreed: "Okay, I happen to have nothing to do, but you should change the battery in the lock first, so you don't get trapped outside again."

Andy agreed and nodded. He went into the house to find the batteries and quickly replaced them.

Then the two of them walked into the elevator together. The elevator began to slowly descend. In the quiet space, Andy asked softly, "What would you like to eat?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's go eat hot pot. You just came back from abroad, so try something you don't usually eat."

Andy nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay."

When he arrived at the parking lot downstairs, Andy was a little troubled.

The top-of-the-line Porsche 911 that Tan Zongming lent her had only two seats, so it was certainly possible for Lin Yuan to sit directly in it. However, the co-pilot position had a different meaning in her heart, which made her think more about it.

Lin Yuan joked: "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to let me be your luxury car?"

"Of course not, it's just...you should get in the car first."

Andy seemed to be hesitant to talk, but finally decided to let Lin Yuan get in the car first.

She didn't know that Lin Yuan also had a car. Since she was treating Lin Yuan to dinner, it wouldn't make sense for her to drive and let Lin Yuan take a taxi. She was afraid that she would offend him before they even had the meal.

After getting in the car, Andy explained: "This car is not actually mine. I just returned to China and have no means of transportation. My friend lent it to me."

After Andy finished speaking, he lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the Porsche 911 instantly emitted a deep and powerful roar, like a beast awakening and roaring. The smooth acceleration made every acceleration feel like being gently pushed by an invisible big hand, swift but stable, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Lin Yuan remained calm. To him, a sports car of this level was just an entry-level choice. None of the sports cars he gave to Peng Jiahe was worse than this one.

Lin Yuan said casually: "It's the Tan Zongming that Qu Xiaoxiao mentioned last time."

"Yes, it's Lao Tan. I returned to China this time because of his invitation." Andy said sincerely, "And thank you for speaking up for me in the elevator last time."

Last time, Qu Xiaoxiao slandered her in the elevator as Tan Zongming's mistress, and Andy did not refute it because she had already made up her mind to leave Ode to Joy community at that time, and naturally she was too lazy to pay attention to Qu Xiaoxiao, an insignificant passerby.

But since experiencing the elevator incident, she felt that with a few noisy acquaintances around her, her life seemed to have a little more lifelike and didn't seem so difficult to accept.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's just something I said casually. When I saw Qu Xiaoxiao, I inexplicably wanted to confront her. But, you didn't explain to Qu Xiaoxiao last time, but came to explain to me. Are you afraid that I would misunderstand you? It seems that you still care about my thoughts."

Andy's reaction was a bit extreme. His usual calmness and composure disappeared. He hastily denied: "No, no, how could it be possible..."

"It was just a joke. Why are you reacting so strongly? Is it true that few people usually joke with you?"

Lin Yuan looked at Andy's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Andy nodded. She was always meticulous at work and was extremely strict with herself and her subordinates. People couldn't even hide from her on weekdays, and who dared to joke with her? She also knew that some of her subordinates had some complaints about her, but she never cared about them.

Lin Yuan looked at Andy with a probing look in his eyes. "But the way you looked just now was a little different from usual."

"Really?" Andy tilted his head slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Well, it's like you were floating in the air before, but now you're falling down a little."

Andy asked, "What do you mean?"

"The fairy has fallen into the mortal world." Lin Yuan said concisely, with a deeper smile on his face.

"I just thought you were complimenting me."

Andy raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and thought to himself, perhaps this is the change after integrating into the crowd and having friends, this feeling is not bad.

Lin Yuan laughed heartily: "I am also very proud to have brought a 'fairy' like you into the mortal world."

The two walked into the hot pot restaurant side by side. The restaurant was bustling with people and the air was filled with the rich aroma of hot pot. They ordered a clear soup base and each picked some meat and vegetable ingredients.

But when Andy stood up and walked towards the seasoning area, the scene in front of her made her hesitate. She saw that the sauce preparation area was crowded with people. She frowned subconsciously, and a hint of resistance flashed in her bright eyes.

She had had more contact with Lin Yuan and the other four beauties, but she instinctively didn't want to get close to these unfamiliar faces. The feeling of uneasiness and awkwardness when interacting with people once again surged into her heart.

Lin Yuan noticed something was wrong and signaled Andy to go back and sit down. He said softly, "Let me help you mix it. Tell me your taste."

Lin Yuan's voice was low and gentle, and seemed to carry a reassuring power.

Andy nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you very much, I like to eat shacha sauce, with some crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, thank you."

"Why are you being so polite? After all, I was the one who brought you here." Lin Yuan responded with a smile that was familiar and friendly.

Not long after, Lin Yuan came back with the prepared sauce, a smile on his face, and gently placed the sauce in front of her.

"I was wondering what your reaction would be if I took you to take the subway." Lin Yuan said half-jokingly with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a mischievous light flashing in his eyes.

Andy just imagined the crowded and noisy subway car in his mind, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, with resistance written all over his face: "I won't take it."

"Take the bus?"

Andy shuddered again.

"Go to the high-speed rail station?"

Andy's body trembled again.

Lin Yuan was amused by her series of reactions. "You're shaking like this. People might think I set off a trap on you... Ahem, what's that?"

"What?" Andy couldn't hear clearly at last.

"No big deal. Let's try it when we have a chance." Lin Yuan blinked and kept it a secret.

Andy nodded, not understanding why: "Oh."

At this time, the steaming clear soup base was served on the table, and all kinds of fresh meat and vegetable ingredients were neatly arranged in order, exuding an attractive luster.

The two had just started eating for a while when Lin Yuan's phone suddenly rang. It was Guan Juer calling.

"Brother Lin, I'm about to get off work. Can you pick me up now?" Guan Juer's voice came from the receiver, with a hint of fatigue and anticipation.

"Guan Guan, I'm having dinner with Andy. I'm afraid I won't be able to go until later."

"Oh, then I'll take the subway back by myself." Guan Ju paused, but curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn't help asking, "Why are you with Sister Andy?"

"Andy's door lock was broken, so I helped her fix it and she treated me to a meal."

"Oh, then I'll hang up first. You guys continue eating." Guan Juer hung up the phone sensibly.

Seeing Lin Yuan hang up the phone, Andy asked: "Are you close to Xiaoguan?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "Among the people on the 22nd floor, apart from you, I just want to have more contact with Guan Guan."

"Why?" Andy's curiosity was completely aroused. She leaned forward slightly and looked at Lin Yuan intently.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, as if he was choosing his words, and chuckled, "If I comment on others like this, does it count as badmouthing them behind their backs?"

Andy hastened to assure: "I won't tell anyone."

Lin Yuan raised his lips and threatened half-jokingly: "If you tell anyone, I will settle the score with you."

Andy looked serious and nodded vigorously, signaling Lin Yuan to relax.

In fact, even if Andy could really keep the secret, Lin Yuan also had a way to make Andy tell the secret.

After all, if you don't leak it out, how can I settle the score with you?

"Let's talk about Qiu Yingying first. She is a silly girl who has never seen the world. She is stubborn and can be good to you or bad to you in a split second."

"Fan Shengmei is vain and fantasizes about integrating into the upper class all day long. I guess she doesn't like people like me."

"What about Qu Xiaoxiao? You saw what happened last time. After slandering you, she went on to slander me. She is too willful. I dare not have any in-depth contact with such a person."

"But if we are just ordinary friends, there is no need to worry too much. As a human being, we all have some shortcomings, no one is an exception."

Andy listened attentively and nodded continuously, not knowing how much he had understood.

Lin Yuan looked at Andy and suddenly became interested. He raised the corners of his mouth and said jokingly, "How about it, do you want to hear what I think of you?"

When Andy heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly, as if he was afraid of being seen through, and said, "But I have a question I would like to ask you."

"You said."
