Now it was Zhang Qiang's turn to be embarrassed. He was just joking. How could he afford to go to Finland for New Year's Eve?

"Ahem, going to Finland for New Year's Eve is very expensive."

He reflexively made an excuse, hoping to dissuade the girl.

But isn’t this exactly what Chen Yan wants?

"Emm, let me think about it. It shouldn't be a problem for us to earn one million before the Chinese New Year, right? After all, we're running a company now, and there are still two months until the Chinese New Year. Isn't one million enough?"

Chen Yan spoke innocently, pouting as if to say that the world of the rich was truly terrible.

"Ahem, that's enough... Hey! Lao Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How about having a drink today?"

Zhang Qiang felt even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

Without waiting for Lin Zheng's consent, he immediately ordered two bottles of beer on his mobile phone.

The food and beer were quickly served, and the conversation stopped.

Zhang Qiang pulled Lin Zheng aside and talked about interesting things that happened during college.

Chen Yan listened carefully, she wanted to know more about Lin Zheng's past.

The result was just as Lin Zheng had said before. He had never been in a relationship during college and didn't even know that there were girls who liked him.

"Alas, Lao Lin, what a pity! Qiao Wanying is the most beautiful girl in the class next door."

"She asked you a math problem, and you said you could find the answer and analysis online."

"She asked you out at the time, and you said you wanted to work on an innovative project and get innovation credits."

"During team building, someone came to you, and you were so stupid as to take a photo with her and then run off to get a part-time job!"

"All I can say is, Tianxiu."

Zhang Qiang spoke slowly, and Lin Zheng looked incredulous.

What the hell?

Was I really that straight before?

He thought Qiao Wanying was a complete idiot who always asked him rubbish questions.

And it was his roommate who asked him out, but he said Qiao Wanying from the next class would also be there...

Meeting with college classmates, maybe the beginning was awkward because of Zhang Qiang's pretentiousness, but overall, Lin Zheng still felt it was quite meaningful.

After the meal, the two waved goodbye, and Lin Zheng felt a little regretful.

After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Chapter 218 Killing Three Birds with One Stone, Chen Yan's Words

"I feel like there's nothing fun to do in Sucheng. Isn't it similar to Jiangcheng?"

After strolling around for an afternoon, Chen Yan was a little dissatisfied with the scenery of Suzhou.

"Cities are actually pretty much the same, but I didn't expect you to be unable to appreciate the beauty of small bridges and flowing water! It's truly terrifying!"

What to see in Sioux City?

If you don't want to see the retro old town, do you want to see skyscrapers and steel jungles?

This afternoon, Lin Zheng took Chen Yan to visit the temple.

It costs fifty yuan to light a stick of incense!

Lin Zheng originally thought that he was not short of money, so fifty was fine.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yan immediately said, "Buddha does not save the poor, but only the rich. It is better not to burn such incense."

Lin Zheng thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.

Burning incense and praying to Buddha is originally for seeking psychological comfort, but who would have thought that this psychological comfort requires kneeling down, kowtowing, and paying money.

It’s better not to worship.

The only thing worth remembering about today's trip is probably taking photos and checking in while standing on the bluestone slabs and on the small bridge.

Winter is indeed a bad time to travel.

The whole journey was deserted, and the air was bitingly cold. No wonder Chen Yan didn't have a good time.

As the night deepened, the two of them swayed under the bright lights as they walked towards the hotel they had booked.

I walked to the quiet tree-lined path and there was no one around.

Chen Yan suddenly said, "Lin Zheng, have you noticed that you are a little different?"

"What's different?"

Lin Zheng thought her words were just cheesy love talk between lovers and responded.

"Have you noticed that girls like you?"

"You didn't even provoke us, but we swarmed you."

Chen Yan stopped and sat down on a long wooden bench to rest.

Lin Zheng couldn't figure out what Chen Yan meant by this. He sat down and smiled quickly, "I guess it's because I'm lucky in love in the second half of the year, so I ran into you guys."

As he spoke, he placed his right hand on Chen Yan's shoulder and hugged her.

Chen Yan shook her head. "That's not what I meant."

"If it was just pure luck in love, I wouldn't be telling you this."

"Actually, I've thought about this question for a long time, but I really can't figure out why this is happening."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Zheng, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lin Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

What Chen Yan meant...

What does she mean?

"For example, you can make me like you..."

Chen Yan hesitated to speak, finally biting her lip and forcing herself to speak, "To be honest, it's really unbelievable. At that time, you were just an ordinary school employee."

"If it comes to status or money, there are still a few people who are better than you who pursue me, but I will never accept them. Do you know why?"

After she finished speaking, she looked a little embarrassed, and seemed to want to laugh, but she finally held it back and just looked at Lin Zheng with a faint smile.

"why?"

Lin Zheng swallowed hard and asked back.

He vaguely guessed what Chen Yan meant by saying these words.

"Because my goal has always been to be tall, rich, and handsome, and he has to like me."

"The closest thing to this was my last boyfriend, but unfortunately, that jerk was snatched away by my sister."

Chen Yan said with a laugh.

Fortunately, Su Qing snatched her ex-boyfriend away, otherwise she would not have met Lin Zheng later.

What do you call this? The wound in my heart hasn't healed yet, and Lin Zheng took the opportunity to break into my heart.

"Uh..., is that Su Qing?"

Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Yes, that's right. Do you know why she left Jiangcheng and returned to her hometown?"

Chen Yan said with a sneer.

"Why?" Lin Zheng frowned slightly, not knowing what Chen Yan wanted to express.

"Because she said bad things about me behind my back, I beat her up, and then that scumbag dumped her when he saw the situation was not right."

"I have no choice. My face is disfigured, and I offended you in Jiangcheng. I can only go back home obediently~"

"But it's not a bad thing. I heard a while ago that she went on a blind date with a civil servant who works in the county, and it seems that the two are about to get married."

I don’t know what happened to Chen Yan today. She blurted out all the things she didn’t want to tell Lin Zheng.

"You still fight?"

Obviously, Lin Zheng's focus was not on Su Qing finding someone to take over, but on Chen Yan's ability to beat people.

"Yeah, I started hanging around so early, how could I not know how to fight? People who can't fight can only be beaten by others."

Chen Yan chuckled, and she instinctively wanted to take out a cigarette from her pocket and light it up.

But he found that he had quit smoking a long time ago because Lin Zheng didn't like smoking.

"So, why are you telling me this?"

When Lin Zheng saw Chen Yan's worse side, his favorable impression of her decreased slightly.

But her honesty restored the declining favorability.

What does it have to do with him if she treats others badly?

Isn't it enough for her to be nice to him?

Chen Yan did not reply immediately, but her eyes showed a meaningful smile.

More than half a minute passed, until cold sweat appeared on Lin Zheng's forehead, and then she smiled lightly.

"Look at you. You can't even hide your secrets from me, so how can you hide your secrets from those big guys?"

She took out a tissue from her pocket and gently wiped the sweat off Lin Zheng's forehead.

At this moment, Lin Zheng's heart was beating very fast, very fast. He realized that Chen Yan seemed to know his secret!

Maybe you can't guess it's the system, but you can definitely guess something similar.

But...when did she start to doubt?

"Lin Zheng, your heartbeat is getting faster and faster."

Just at the right time, Chen Yan spoke up to remind her.

She pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

She knew that her guess was correct, Lin Zheng did have a secret.

If she had guessed that the possibility of Lin Zheng having a secret was less than 50% before he reacted like this,

Now, there are at least nine possibilities that this man is hiding a secret!

Even bizarre...

"Emm, maybe you are wondering why I say these things, right?"

After a while, Chen Yan continued to speak.

Lin Zheng remained silent.

He knew he should say, "What the hell are you talking about? Have you been naughty again? Do you need a lesson?"

But he couldn't tell.

At this moment, his throat was choked, as if it was stuck by a thorn, and even breathing became difficult.

"I won't talk about the other girls for now, let's just talk about Wei Lingling. Why is she so nice to you? She's still so nice to you even though you already have a girlfriend."

"Is it simply to repay a favor?"

"That sports car is actually more than enough to repay the favor I owe you."

She kept shaking her head as she spoke, indicating that there was definitely a problem.

Lin Zheng suddenly realized that he knew why.

Because of that girlfriend agreement!

The girlfriend's agreement brought them together again.

But he knew that if he didn't speak up, Chen Yan would just talk more and more, and her words would become more and more correct...

"Maybe it's simply because she likes me? After all, she does like me very much."
