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

Chapter 228: Nothing But Thirty: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Thief

A white light flashed, and the next second, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared in the Ode to Joy world.

When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he found himself on an airplane, and what he saw was the luxurious and exquisite interior of the first-class cabin.

The warm sunlight poured in through the portholes, outlining patches of golden light on the carpet.

The system's prompt also sounded in my mind, and the mission rewards in the Ode to Joy world have been issued.

Lin Yuan successfully blocked a total of ten love lines. Compared with the task requirement of at least five, this "record" can be said to have exceeded the target.

The skill [Illusionary Dream] he received as a reward this time made him very satisfied.

False dreams: Can control women’s dreams.

Feature 1: The target must be a woman who has appeared within his sight and is in a deep sleep state (including sleeping, coma, shock, and vegetative state).

Feature 30: It needs to be cooled down for days after use and cannot be used again during this period.

This kind of dream control, even if there are extreme scenes such as rape, violence, etc. in the dream, the other party will still not wake up from the dream. And after waking up, the other party will remember what happened in the dream, as if it really happened.

With this skill, Lin Yuan can not only communicate his feelings with women in dreams and exert some subtle influence on them, but also use it to convey some obscure messages.

As for whether the news is good or bad, it all depends on Lin Yuan's opinion.

Anyway, these women would never imagine that their dreams could be controlled by others.

The only drawback for him was that the cooling time was too long.

Lin Yuan stroked his chin, secretly thinking about the timing and target of using the skill. As he was thinking, the air in front of him began to ripple slightly, and a translucent light blue virtual curtain slowly unfolded, clearly listing various information on it.

[Current World: Only Thirty]

[Alternative character: None]

[Physique: LV5 (388/5000)]

【Storage space: 16 cubic meters】

[Skills: Miraculous Rejuvenation, Illusionary Dream]

Seeing the words "Nothing But Thirty", Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh. I am a gentleman, why do you always bring me to this world where these young women gather?
I really don't want to be a thief!

The TV series "Nothing But Thirty" mainly tells the story of three urban women who are about to turn thirty and face multiple pressures from family and career at this important age in their lives.

Gu Jia is an enviable upper class in the pyramid. She is a qualified wife and a qualified mother. She started from scratch with her husband Xu Huanshan and founded a fireworks company together. In order to support Xu Huanshan's career, she retreated behind the scenes, carefully managed the family, and became a full-time wife.

However, her husband Xu Huanshan could not withstand the temptation from the outside world and cheated on her with a young girl. The fireworks company he ran also suffered casualties due to illegal production. In the end, Gu Jia chose to divorce and live alone with her son.

Zhong Xiaoqin is an ordinary employee working in a property management company. She is simple, gentle and a little confused. Her husband Chen Yu works in a TV station. He is a taciturn person who likes to keep everything to himself. He chooses to ignore Zhong Xiaoqin's coquettishness and small emotions.

Zhong Xiaoqin could not accept such cold violence, and coupled with the unexpected miscarriage of the fetus in her womb, the conflicts between the two became increasingly intense, and naturally they ended up getting divorced.

Wang Manni, a saleswoman at a high-end luxury store, is a model of refined poverty. Half of her monthly salary is spent on renting a house, which costs 7,000 yuan a month. She never buys high-end imitation clothes or bags. She looks glamorous, but she even stocks up on shampoo when it is on sale, and eats a 10-yuan box lunch.

Having seen the generosity of rich ladies in swiping their cards, and having seen wealthy men lavishly spending money on their girlfriends, she began to have different ideas in her mind.

She thought she was very beautiful and that only rich people were worthy of her, and she was only thinking about making a breakthrough in class.

After being deceived by the sea king Liang Zhengxian, he realized how ridiculous he was. He returned to his hometown for blind dates, but he looked down on those blind date candidates. Finally, he decided to go abroad to study for a master's degree, trying to realize his self-worth through his studies.

There are still many flaws in this drama, but fortunately, the female protagonists are good-looking, which made Lin Yuan insist on watching it.

This time he traveled to this world, the system did not issue any more tasks, so it seemed that he could play as he pleased.

It is now 2020. According to the identity fabricated for him by the system, he was born in 1993 and can just find the heroine to hug a gold brick.

Lin Yuan returned to China from overseas this time. His identity abroad was the boss of an investment bank.

Moreover, his deceased "parents" had a very good relationship with Zhong Xiaoqin's parents, as close as a family. Ten years ago, Lin Yuan's family went overseas for business, but the two families have always kept in touch through letters and phone calls.

When they heard that he was going back to China this time, Zhong's father and mother notified Zhong Xiaoqin early to go to the airport to pick him up.

As for why Mr. and Mrs. Zhong didn't go in person, it was because they had gone to visit relatives in another province for the past two days and would not be able to return to Shanghai until tomorrow, so they could only let their daughter do it for them.

Lin Yuan leaned back in the comfortable chair, sorted out the memories and thoughts in his mind, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap.

……

At the airport in Shanghai, the plane landed smoothly, and the sunlight at around three o'clock in the afternoon poured in warmly through the window.

Lin Yuan turned off the airplane mode, and several unread messages instantly popped up on his phone screen, all from Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Lin Yuan, are you here?"

"I'll wait for you at Exit 2A."

"I'm wearing white."

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and did not rush to reply. He just put the phone back in his pocket and followed the crowd and walked along the sign.

Ten minutes later, at Exit 2A, a petite girl came into his sight. She looked at the bustling crowd, then looked down at her cell phone, looking anxious.

She has bangs and her soft short hair falls neatly against her cheeks, making her fair baby face look even smaller and cuter.

Lin Yuan quietly walked behind her and gently patted her shoulder.

Zhong Xiaoqin shuddered with fear, her little hand loosened instinctively, and the phone fell straight to the ground.

Lin Yuan was quick to take it and handed it to her, calling softly, "Zhong Xiaoqin."

Zhong Xiaoqin had just come back to her senses from her absent-minded state. She thought her phone was going to break, but unexpectedly it was caught steadily. She couldn't help but pat her chest, took a long breath, and then looked at the young man in front of her: "Are you Lin Yuan?"

"it's me."

Zhong Xiaoqin stared at the tall and handsome young man in front of her, and her memory was suddenly brought back to her childhood.

At that time, Lin Yuan always followed her like a little tail, calling her sister sweetly.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoqin pouted subconsciously and pretended to be serious: "You have to call me sister, understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan's eyes turned red, and he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, his hands gently passed through her slender waist and fell on her back, his chin gently resting on her hair, his voice choked with sobs: "Sister, besides you, I have no other relatives."

Zhong Xiaoqin has been married for three years, and her married life with Chen Yu is as dull as water. Having sex once a month is like a routine.

Lin Yuan suddenly came closer, and the masculine scent he exuded made Zhong Xiaoqin's cheeks instantly hot. Under his curved eyebrows, his big eyes blinked, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

After hugging for a long time, Zhong Xiaoqin gently pushed Lin Yuan away.

After Lin Yuan let her go, Zhong Xiaoqin hurriedly turned her head away, raised her hand to smooth her messy hair, trying to cover her red ears.

She just thought that Lin Yuan had lost his family and was too excited to see her after a long time, so she didn't think of anything else at all.

When she looked up at Lin Yuan again, her eyes were filled with a bit more heartache and concern. She couldn't help but reach out to straighten his slightly wrinkled collar and said softly, "If you have any problems in the future, just tell me."

Lin Yuan asked softly: "Today is not the weekend, how come you have time to pick me up?"

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and explained, "I asked for half a day off."

Although she is already thirty years old, at this moment, Zhong Xiaoqin's rosy cheeks and smiling eyes make her look like a girl in her twenties.

Lin Yuan seemed a little apologetic: "I'm causing you trouble as soon as I come back. Actually, you don't have to come to pick me up. I still remember my home address."

Lin Yuan's understanding and dependence made Zhong Xiaoqin feel warm in her heart: "You just called me sister, but now you treat me as an outsider. I am so happy that you are back! Your house has been uninhabited for more than ten years. It must be full of dust. You have to clean it up. Stay at my house tonight!"

"Sister, it's great to have you." Lin Yuan's voice trembled slightly, his expression was sincere, and all his emotions overflowed at this moment, like a veteran actor.

Zhong Xiaoqin was usually ignored in her daily life and work. Lin Yuan's "sister" made her feel needed and relied on.

The two walked out of the airport and got into the back seat of a taxi together.

In China, wearing seat belts in the back seat is not common, and Zhong Xiaoqin has no such awareness. Lin Yuan carefully pulled the seat belt over her lower abdomen and gently inserted the buckle.

The driver saw this scene through the rearview mirror. He has been driving a taxi for many years and rarely sees passengers in the back seat wearing seat belts. He couldn't help but smile and joked: "Wow, you two are really in love."

"We are not." Zhong Xiaoqin quickly waved her hands to deny it, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Lin Yuan then said, "Sister, my brother-in-law is not at home now, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin calmed herself down and replied, "He hasn't gotten off work yet."

"Then let's go back to your house now. My brother-in-law won't come back suddenly, right? Master, please drive faster. We have something else to do when we get back."

Zhong Xiaoqin was a little confused. With her usual confused state, she always felt that there was some ambiguity in these words.

She leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear and whispered, "What do you want to do when you go back?"

"I'll show you my cooking skills when I get back. After my parents left, I was alone abroad. When I was hungry, I would fiddle with the ingredients myself, and slowly I learned how to cook. I'll finish it before my brother-in-law gets off work, so you can have a taste of my cooking skills."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Thinking of the hardships he had endured living alone in a foreign country over the years, she felt even more distressed. And when she thought of how kind Lin Yuan's parents had been to her in the past, she felt even more distressed.

The taxi sped all the way and safely took the two to a supermarket near Zhong Xiaoqin's home.

Lin Yuan carefully selected the ingredients and asked Zhong Xiaoqin about her preferences from time to time. After careful selection, the two returned home carrying a bag full of ingredients.

Zhong Xiaoqin pressed the light switch, and the warm white light instantly filled the room. She took out a pair of clean slippers and handed them to Lin Yuan, then took the ingredients from Lin Yuan's hand and walked straight into the kitchen.

Lin Yuan walked into the house and looked at the layout. It was a two-bedroom apartment.

The living room and dining room are separated by a row of bookshelves. The study and the living room were originally separated by a conventional partition wall, but it was ingeniously demolished and replaced with a whole transparent fish tank. When you get closer, you can see colorful little fish swimming freely in the water.

When I walked into the study, I found a fish tank inside. Smart fish were swimming around in the water. It was not difficult to see that Chen Yu really loved these fish.

Lin Yuan took a brief tour and then walked into the kitchen. The kitchen space was of standard size and there was still plenty of room for two people to stand inside, turn around, and walk around.

He asked Zhong Xiaoqin a little stiffly: "Sister, would my brother-in-law mind if I come to your house?"

Zhong Xiaoqin said cheerfully, "No, your sister is a very nice person. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I saw there was no bed in the study, and I thought my brother-in-law didn't welcome people to his house."

"Oh, no." Zhong Xiaoqin responded with a smile. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that there was only one bed in the house. A flash of realization flashed across her face, and she hurriedly asked, "Can you sleep on the sofa? Or I can sleep on the sofa, and you and your brother-in-law can sleep on the big bed."

"Is there no other option?"

Zhong Xiaoqin raised her eyebrows, her tone revealing some anger: "Of course not."

The other option is just sleeping with yourself.

"No, I can sleep in the big bed by myself, and you and my brother-in-law can squeeze on the sofa?"

Zhong Xiaoqin thought seriously: "But there is only one three-person sofa at home, and the other one is a single sofa, which is not easy to sleep on."

"I'm just kidding. It's nice to sleep on the sofa. It feels like home." Lin Yuan smiled, a hint of relaxation in his eyes. He walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and washed his hands carefully.

Then he walked to the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife, and started cutting the carrots skillfully.

Then he turned to Zhong Xiaoqin and said, "Sister, please wash these vegetables and meat."

Zhong Xiaoqin responded, rolled up her sleeves and began to wash the ingredients.

The sounds of flowing water and cutting vegetables are intertwined, and a warm atmosphere slowly spreads in the small kitchen.

This made Zhong Xiaoqin feel very much at home. In the past, she and Chen Yu were almost always busy with their own things at home, and there were few warm moments like this when they worked together.

"Sister, don't move." Lin Yuan looked at the juice on his hand from pressing the carrot, and wanted to tease him. He raised his hand to hold Zhong Xiaoqin's face, "There's something stuck on it, I'll help you wipe it off."

Zhong Xiaoqin's heart was beating fast and she felt like she was being electrocuted. Lin Yuan's intimate gesture on her face quickly made her face blush.

Her skin was already very fair, so the blush was even more obvious.

She had no idea that Lin Yuan had painted her face into a clown face.

……

At around six o'clock in the evening, Chen Yu came back from get off work.

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard the voice, she immediately came to the door with a smile on her face: "You're back."

When Chen Yu saw Zhong Xiaoqin's cat-like face, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

You are so grown up, but you are still like a child, not mature at all.

Lin Yuan also followed Zhong Xiaoqin's steps and went to the door. The man who came in front of him was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. The fine stubble made him look a bit rough, and he was holding a briefcase in his hand.

Knowing that this person was Chen Yu, Lin Yuan politely called him, "Brother-in-law."

A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Yu's eyes. He looked at the strange man and nodded slightly in response.

Lin Yuan smiled shyly, turned around and quickly returned to the kitchen to continue working.

Chen Yu frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment and said, "I sent you a message, didn't you read it?"

"I'm so busy at work, how can I have time to watch it?"

Zhong Xiaoqin had no choice but to explain patiently: "He is the child of my parents' friend. We grew up together and he used to call me sister. He just came back from abroad today and my parents are away again. I thought of letting him stay at our house tonight and I will help him clean up his house tomorrow."

"Zhong Xiaoqin! Are you okay? Don't you know the situation in our house? How can someone live here with just one bed?" Chen Yu raised his voice unconsciously.

"Keep your voice down!" Zhong Xiaoqin looked nervous. She glanced at the kitchen anxiously and said in a low voice, "I've already told him to sleep on the sofa. Besides, it's just one night. What's wrong with that?"

"I've said it before, Zhong Xiaoqin, you don't have the ability to take care of others. Can you think before you do anything?" Chen Yu's face was full of helplessness, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Why didn't I use my brain?" Zhong Xiaoqin muttered softly, feeling a little aggrieved.

"I told you this morning that I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I must take care of the fish tonight. I have to walk around to take care of the fish, and he is sleeping on the sofa. What's going on?"

Chen Yu was a little depressed. He never wanted others to interfere too much in his family of two.

Even when his mother-in-law came over, he was full of resistance.

If outsiders intervene, he will feel that his life is disturbed.

Zhong Xiaoqin was also a little unhappy and retorted: "Just take care of your fish. Besides, I've already made an agreement with Lin Yuan. Do you want me to chase him away?"

Chen Yu frowned, sighed heavily, and felt extremely depressed.

Although the two of them tried to lower their voices, Lin Yuan in the kitchen still heard the argument clearly.

……

After a while, the food was served and the three of them sat around the table and started eating.

Lin Yuan also became officially familiar with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu is a calm and reserved person. He is not good at expressing his emotions and always has an innate seriousness on his face. He is also very frugal with words when talking to Lin Yuan. He would occasionally pull the corners of his mouth and force out a stiff smile, making him seem a little difficult to approach.

Zhong Xiaoqin, who was watching from the side, felt that Chen Yu was going a bit too far.

Lin Yuan is a guest after all, and he has worked hard to prepare a table full of dishes. Chen Yu's attitude is too alienating. I don't know what Lin Yuan is thinking.

Sure enough, as dinner was coming to an end.

Lin Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said softly, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'll go back first."
