Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

The words "I'm sorry" lingered on Lin Si's lips for a long time before he swallowed them back down.

He didn't know whether he should apologize.

If I were to apologize, what would be a better way to say it?

Lin Si is bad at getting along with people.

He doesn't even have any friends. The only person he can be considered a friend is Fang Cong, who is currently in prison.

Although Fang Cong acted in excessive self-defense, he killed someone and spent more time in prison than Fang Cong.

Most of the time, he plays the role of a mute.

While he was struggling with his decision, Lin Wu had already recovered and said with a smile, "It's Xie Yanhuai. He's going to have his engagement banquet with Xia Ruoruo next month."

Lin Si was stunned again.

"Then... don't be too sad."

"I'm not sad," Lin Wu said, tilting her head. "You know what? Not long ago, she asked me a question again, what I liked about Xie Yanhuai. My mind went blank, and I just said three things: handsome, good at studying, and from a good family."

Lin Si listened very attentively.

Lin Wu continued, "There are so many men in the country. It seems like you could find many who are around my age and have similar conditions. To me, he's not really unique."

"So... you mean, you don't actually like Xie Yanhuai that much, right?" Lin Si asked again to confirm.

"Yes." Lin Wu nodded.

Lin Si glanced at her.

He didn't actually believe that Lin Wu truly disliked Xie Yanhuai anymore; he just thought she was being stubborn.

The relationship between the two has finally eased somewhat, and the icicles have melted a little.

So he didn't expose her, and went along with Lin Wu's words, saying, "That's good."

"Hmm." Lin Wu was satisfied.

She thought the misunderstanding between them had been cleared up, but little did she know that in Lin Si's eyes, she was the one who was more ill.

The two chatted casually for a while, and then Lin Wu went back to take a nap.

When I woke up, I found two missed calls on my phone, both from Zou Dafa.

She got up from the recliner and called Zou Dafa back.

The call was answered quickly. "Feed?"

Lin Wu: "What's wrong?"

Her tone was as usual, without any sign of turning her back on her.

Zou Dafa breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease. He tentatively asked, "I heard you work for a big company. Could you help me find a job? Even as a cleaner would be fine."

Lin Wu was taken aback.

Most people would feel embarrassed to say this, but Zou Dafa didn't.

He was very straightforward and frank, revealing his purpose right away.

Lin Wu thought to himself that Zou Dafa had probably been in the underworld too early and had long since lost his sense of shame. For him, money was the most important thing.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Zou Dafa said casually, "It's nothing. If it's too much trouble, I'll just ask."

"I'll help you find it," Lin Wu said.

Zou Dafa was taken aback. "Really?"

"Really," Lin Wu said. "You'll start work tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, she stared at the ceiling and slapped her mouth.

You're already drowning in debt, how can you possibly act tough?

If it were anyone else, Lin Wu would most likely have refused outright.

She inexplicably couldn't bear to see this person disappointed.

Lin Wu hesitated in her chair for a while, then sighed deeply and got up to knock on Xu Jingwang's office door.

"Enter."

After receiving permission, she opened the door.

She held out a cup of coffee with a smile. "Mr. Xu, have some coffee."

Xu Jingwang's gaze shifted from the notebook to her face, and finally to the coffee in her hand.

This time it seems to be American-style, a dark, unappetizing liquid.

"...What's wrong?" he asked warily.

"Nothing much, I just saw you were working hard, so I made you a cup of coffee." Lin Wu opened her eyes wide, trying her best to show her sincerity.

Xu Jingwang glanced at the coffee, sensing that there was more to it than met the eye.

He's a little worried that Lin Wu has lost her mind and might try to steal the bride at the engagement party.

"Just say what you want to say. I don't like guessing." He tried to appear calm.

They've been found out.

Lin Wu placed the coffee on the table, scratching her face a little embarrassedly. "I have a friend who urgently needs a job. Could you help him out?"

Xu Jingwang breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Of course."

Lin Wu blinked, surprised that he agreed so easily.

"What's your friend's educational background like? I'll see if I can help him find a job that matches his major," Xu Jingwang said.

"Wait a minute, let me ask." Lin Wu sent a message to Zou Dafa while looking down.

They replied very quickly.

Her expression froze after reading it. "He... has only a junior high school education."

Just like Lin Si.

Lin Si went to prison before finishing high school, so he only has a junior high school education.

Xu Jingwang: "..."

"Boy or girl?" he continued to ask.

"A boy," Lin Wu replied.

Xu Jingwang hesitated for a second, "Ask him if he'd like to work at the gate and watch the gate. He could work with your brother. It'll be three...five thousand a month."

Lin Wu said with emotion, "You are such a kind person, I will definitely repay you."

Xu Jingwang's lips curled up slightly.

He likes it the way it is now.

The more the forest fog rises, the more it accumulates.

Given the young lady's personality, she definitely won't leave until she's paid off her debts.

-

the next day.

Lin Si arrived right on time, as usual.

But he discovered that his throne was already occupied.

The man was wearing a security guard uniform and a mask, and was sitting upright.

"Who are you?" He was taken aback.

"Hello there."

Zou Xun quickly stood up, extended his hand, and said, "I'm Zou Xun, the new security guard. Xun means 'to search'."

Lin Si: "Oh."

He responded, but didn't bother to shake hands. He simply raised his chin slightly and said, "Move over. This is my seat. From now on, only I can sit here, understand?"

What a domineering person.

In the past, Zou Xun could have been even more pretentious than him, given that the job paid well and was introduced by Lin Tiantian.

He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and gave up his seat.

No matter where you work, newcomers are always bullied by senior employees.

Zou Xun thought that was enough, but then the handsome guy disgustedly took out some toilet paper and wiped the chair.

Zou Xun: "..."

My fists are so itchy.

I really want to punch someone.

The two kept to themselves, exchanging cold shoulders, and spent the morning together.

Lin Wu arrived excitedly at noon.

I thought that since they were about the same age, they would have common topics and have a pleasant conversation.

When I came in, the atmosphere was both awkward and cold, like it was ten degrees below zero.

The two sat on the south side and the north side, respectively.

It's as if a vast Pacific Ocean separates them.

"..."

Lin Wu's first reaction was to turn around and leave.

He took two steps away, then stopped, turned back, took a deep breath, and asked, "Why aren't you two saying anything?"

Just as Zou Xun was about to speak, the handsome guy next to him coldly asked, "You know him?"

The tone was very self-righteous.

Zou Xun could tell they were very familiar with each other, and not just unusually familiar.

He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and remained silent.
