Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 75 Why is the door locked?

While everyone's focus was on the Lin family, Qiao Xingnian and Sun Qiaoyin were discussing food in their own way.Hua Linlin saw that Sun Qiaoyin and Qiao Xingnian had a good chat, and after struggling for a long time, she mustered up the courage to walk over.

Seeing Hua Linlin approaching, Sun Qiaoyin thought she was looking for her, and said, "What do you need from me?"

Hua Linlin shook her head, looked at Qiao Xingnian, took a deep breath, and said, "Hello, Boss Qiao, my name is Hua Linlin, and I'm your fan. May I know you?"

Qiao Xingnian was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses and said with a smile, "Of course, I think you look familiar. Have you ever been to a tea house to drink tea?"

Hua Linlin's eyes flashed with excitement when she heard this, and she said, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to remember me."

Qiao Xingnian got up, pulled the chair beside him gentlemanly, and said, "Please sit down."

Hua Linlin's pretty face was flushed with excitement, and after thanking her, she sat down shyly.

Qiao Xingnian smiled politely and said, "Although I have a good memory, I can't remember all the tea customers. Ms. Hua must have been there more than once, right?"

"Well, I go almost every week, but I only see the boss twice."

Lin Nanyue said politely: "I went to Yunnan before, and I was delayed by some things. But I still want to thank Ms. Hua for taking care of the business of the teahouse."

Hua Linlin waved her hands nervously, and said, "No, I like the atmosphere of the tea house very much. Drinking tea there can make me feel calm and warm, so it is a very happy thing for me to drink tea."

Sun Qiaoyin listened to the exchange between the two in surprise, and asked curiously, "You run a tea house?"

Qiao Xingnian took out his business card from his pocket and said, "If you like to drink tea, you can come and patronize me, but you must call to make an appointment before you come."

Sun Qiaoyin took the business card and said in surprise, "You have to make an appointment for tea?"

"Sister Qiaoyin, you don't know, Boss Qiao's Xingnian Tea Club is really popular, and it takes me at least four or five days to make an appointment."

"Business is so good?" Sun Qiaoyin said dubiously: "Isn't a teahouse just a place to drink tea? What's so special about it that can attract so many people?"

"It's nothing special. It's just an ordinary tea house. If Ms. Sun is interested, you can go and have a look."

Sun Qiaoyin looked at Qiao Xingnian in disbelief, then at Hua Linlin, and said, "His words are too perfunctory, Linlin said."

Hua Linlin looked at Qiao Xingnian and said with a smile, "I can't explain this clearly. Sister Qiaoyin will understand after going there once, but I can guarantee that you will feel that the trip is worthwhile."

"You managed to arouse my interest."

Sun Qiaoyin glanced at the business card again, and suddenly found that the vx account in it looked familiar. She was startled, then looked at Qiao Xingnian, and said, "You... Are you called Qiao Xingnian?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said strangely, "Miss Sun knows me?"

Sun Qiaoyin shook her head amusedly, with a strange expression on her face, and said, "I've heard others mention it."

Qiao Xingnian didn't know about Sun Yao's little plan at all, and he didn't care about Sun Qiaoyin's words.

Lin Nanyue saw Qiao Xingnian chatting with two women very speculatively in front of him, and the jealous vat in his heart was successfully overturned. Regardless of the Yingyingyanyan around him, he went straight to the front and said, "I can Sit down?"

Lin Nanyue stood beside Qiao Linlin, but looked straight at Qiao Xingnian.

Hua Linlin was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course."

Lin Nanyue came over, which was equivalent to their small dining table, and became the next focus. The most direct ones were Sun Yi and Zhen Caiqing.

For a dining table for two people, sitting four people is already the limit, there is no possibility of letting down one more person, and both Sun Yi and Zhen Caiqing are bound to win Lin Nanyue, so Hua Linlin and Qiao Xingnian who were present became The target of the attack of the two men.

Zhen Caiqing was straightforward, reached out and patted Hua Linlin's shoulder, and said, "Go sit next door."

Hua Linlin's face became hot. If it was normal, maybe she would back down, but today Qiao Xingnian was sitting next to her, and he gave her the courage to refuse, saying: "This is my position. I want to go to the next door, and it's you go."

Zhen Caiqing looked at Hua Linlin incredulously, and said, "How dare you refuse me?"

Hua Linlin took a deep breath and said, "Why didn't I dare to refuse? I was patient before, because I didn't want to be as knowledgeable as you, not because I was afraid of you. Now I don't want to be patient anymore, so don't boss me around."

Not only Zhen Caiqing couldn't believe it, but everyone who knew Hua Linlin found it incredible.

Unexpectedly, a person who has always been submissive would have the courage to say "no" today, in such a resolute tone.

Being rejected in front of Lin Nanyue, Zhen Caiqing felt that she had been humiliated, and said angrily, "Hua Linlin, do you want to die?"

Without waiting for Hua Linlin to speak, Lin Nanyue said aloud: "Zhen Caiqing, this is our Lin family's banquet, if you want to play young lady's temper, go to your Zhen's house, you are not welcome here."

Zhen Caiqing was startled, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Nanyue, you actually murdered me because of this dead girl?"

"Zhen Caiqing, let me solemnly say again today, I don't like you, I didn't like you before, I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future, so don't pester me anymore. Otherwise, even if Uncle Zhen is here, I won't like you again I'll show you some mercy." What Lin Nanyue said didn't show any mercy at all.

Qiao Xingnian didn't speak, and he never looked at Zhen Caiqing from the beginning to the end, but he saw Lin Nanyue's words clearly, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.Unexpectedly, just this expression was seen by Zhen Caiqing, who became angry from embarrassment, and said, "You actually dare to laugh at me, what kind of thing are you, dare to laugh at me?"

Qiao Xingnian couldn't hear and didn't look at Zhen Caiqing, so he naturally didn't know what she said, and didn't realize that Zhen Caiqing would target him.So when Zhen Caiqing took the coffee from Sun Qiaoyin's hand, he didn't react at all.

Hua Linlin and Lin Nanyue saw it clearly, and reacted almost at the same time.

Hua Linlin got up to block Qiao Xingnian, closed her eyes and waited for the coffee to be splashed on her body, while Lin Nanyue knocked over the coffee in Zhen Caiqing's hand.

"Crack", the coffee cup fell to the ground and broke in two, which made the noisy banquet suddenly quiet.

Both Lin Zhaoming and Hu Minhua looked at this side, and Zhenxian was no exception. Lin Nanyue said with an ugly face: "Zhen Caiqing, please leave immediately, the Lin family will not welcome you in the future!"

Lin Zhaoming frowned slightly, glanced at Zhenxian, and said, "Nanyue, what happened?"

"Dad, Zhen Caiqing not only troubled Hua Linlin, but also poured hot coffee on Xingnian for no reason. She didn't pay attention to our Lin family at all."

Zhenxian's face became ugly upon hearing this, and said, "Zhen Caiqing, what are you doing?"

Zhen Caiqing cried and said, "Dad, he laughed at me first, so I want to teach him a lesson."

"He laughed at you?" Lin Nanyue looked at Zhen Caiqing with disgust, and said, "He hasn't looked at you from the beginning to the end, how can he laugh at you?"

"He didn't look at me, but he heard what you said."

"He can't hear." After Lin Nanyue finished speaking, he felt a twinge in his heart, and looked at Qiao Xingnian nervously.

Everyone present looked at Qiao Xingnian in surprise, they never expected such an outstanding young man to be disabled.

Zhen Caiqing said dubiously: "Is he deaf?"

Sun Yi, who was watching the play, caught a glimpse of Lin Nanyue's hand, and quickly exclaimed, "Brother Nanyue, your hand is burnt!"

Qiao Xingnian was looking at Lin Nanyue's hand all the time, he got up and approached, and said, "Is there a medicine box in the room?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I just..."

Qiao Xingnian interrupted him and said, "Go get the medicine."

Lin Nanyue didn't say any more, just nodded.

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Lin Zhaoming and Hu Minhua, and said, "Uncle Lin, Nan Yue's hand was burned, I'll go and treat him."

Hu Minhua took a look at Zhen Caiqing and said, "Go, if it's serious, go directly to the hospital."

"it is good."

Qiao Xingnian bowed politely to everyone, glanced at Zhen Caiqing, and went upstairs with Lin Nanyue.

Seeing this, Zhenxian walked towards Zhencaiqing, grabbed her wrist, and said apologetically, "Old Lin, Minhua, I'm sorry today, don't worry, I won't let her pester Nanyue from now on. Let's go first gone back."

Lin Zhaoming looked at Hu Minhua and said, "Old Zhen, I will send you out."

"No, there are so many guests here, let's call if we need something."

After Zhenxian finished speaking, regardless of Zhen Caiqing's struggle, she pulled her out of the hall.

Seeing this, Lin Zhaoming smiled and said, "It's all children throwing temper tantrums, don't take it to heart, keep going, don't be polite."

The hall was noisy again, as if nothing happened just now.

Lin Nanyue followed Qiao Xingnian upstairs and came straight to his room. Qiao Xingnian then spoke, "Where is the medicine box?"

Such a dull atmosphere made Lin Nanyue a little overwhelmed, and said, "I'll get it."

Lin Nanyue came to the closet, took out a square transparent plastic box, and put it on the table.

He wanted to reach out to find it, but Qiao Xingnian grabbed his wrist and said, "It's inside?"

Lin Nanyue nodded, and glanced at the grasped wrist.

Qiao Xingnian let go of Lin Nanyue's hand, opened the box and searched for burn ointment, and after finding it, he took Lin Nanyue to the bathroom together.

The bathroom is large, not only has a jacuzzi, but also has a separate shower and washbasin, but Qiao Xingnian's presence is too strong, and Lin Nanyue always feels that the bathroom is too small, which makes him very nervous.

Turning on the faucet, Qiao Xingnian washed Lin Nanyue's wound. The burn was not serious, but his skin was red, and there were no blisters.

"I'm fine, just rinse with cold water, no medicine at all."

Lin Nanyue wanted to relieve the tension in his heart by talking.

Qiao Xingnian looked up at him and said, "If that cup of coffee was spilled on my face, what would you do?"

Lin Nanyue frowned and said, "No, she can't splash you."

"If I say it's okay, won't your heart hurt?" Qiao Xingnian looked directly at Lin Nanyue.

"I..." Lin Nanyue was stunned, and then asked, "So I was hurt, do you feel distressed?"

Qiao Xingnian looked away uncomfortably, pulled him out of the bathroom, made him sit on a chair by the table, picked up the ointment and applied it carefully.

Lin Nanyue looked up at him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched again and again, no matter how much he couldn't hold it down.

After Qiao Xingnian applied the medicine to him, he let go of his hand naturally, and said: "Don't do this kind of thing again, even if he wants to splash me, it won't hurt me. Don't forget that I am now a condensed entity of soul. state."

Lin Nanyue whispered, "Even if I knew you wouldn't get hurt, I would still do it..."

Qiao Xingnian's heart trembled, and he said, "You will be the one who gets hurt in the end, are you stupid?"

Lin Nanyue looked into Qiao Xingnian's eyes and asked, "If it were me who was in danger, would you save me desperately?"

Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly and said, "We are different..."

"Will you save me?" Lin Nanyue interrupted Qiao Xingnian and asked again stubbornly.

Looking at the anticipation in Lin Nanyue's eyes, Qiao Xingnian couldn't say anything against his will. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Lin Nanyue immediately smiled, his eyes sparkled, and he asked nervously, "So you also have me in your heart, right?"

Qiao Xingnian subconsciously looked away, stood up straight as if avoiding, and said: "The banquet is still going on, you are the protagonist tonight, you can't leave for too long."

Lin Nanyue grabbed Qiao Xingnian's arm and said, "Qiao Xingnian, you said that running away won't solve any problems. Why did you choose to run away when it was your turn?"

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at him and said, "I didn't run away, I just made the choice I thought was right."

"What do you think is the right choice?" Lin Nanyue said sadly, "So you think the right choice is to avoid my feelings?"

"Team Lin, please be sober. You are the eldest son of the Lin family and the future heir of the Lin Group. Do you think uncle and aunt can accept us being together?"

"These are not important..."

"It's important to me." Qiao Xingnian interrupted Lin Nanyue and said, "The reason why I can calmly face cyberbullying is because the people I care about support me and trust me. If the two of us are together , Will the people around you still support it? I’m afraid they will be the first to stand up against it. We not only have to face pressure from the outside world, but also persecution from relatives, are you sure you are ready?"

"The moment I was sure I liked you, I was already mentally prepared."

"What are you prepared for? Are you ready to accept the fate of betrayal; or are you ready to be unable to do your beloved work; or are you ready to accept abuse and contempt from strangers?"

Qiao Xingnian planned to spread and crush this matter, and made it clear to Lin Nanyue, "For love, you have to bear the pain of losing everything, are you really ready?"

Lin Nanyue looked directly at Qiao Xingnian and asked seriously, "I just want to ask you, do you like me?"

Qiao Xingnian looked back at Lin Nanyue and said, "Captain Lin, love is not the whole of life."

"Answer my question." Lin Nanyue repeated: "Do you like me?"

Qiao Xingnian looked at him silently for a while, then turned his gaze away and said, "We should go out, uncle and aunt will be worried."

Qiao Xingnian turned to leave, Lin Nanyue got up abruptly, went to the door first, and locked the door.He stood in front of the door and said, "If you don't speak clearly today, don't even think about leaving here."

"Lin Nanyue, today is my aunt's birthday party, don't mess around!"

"Qiao Xingnian, I just want an answer. As long as you give it, I will let you out."

There was another silence. Qiao Xingnian was about to speak when Lin Nanyue said, "Don't lie to me!"

Qiao Xingnian looked at him and said, "As I said just now, love is not the whole of life, and I won't let it be everything, so even if I like you, I will won't be with you."

"You like me too!" Lin Nanyue's eyes lit up.

"It's just that I like it. I won't give up everything now for you, so don't waste time on me." Since you don't want to accept this relationship, you must not give him hope. Qiao Xingnian said cruelly: "In the future We still don't have any contact."

Joy just rose, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and he was a little suffocated in pain. Lin Nanyue covered his chest, looked at him with red eyes, opened his mouth and said, "Are you sure?"

Unable to bear to see his painful appearance, Qiao Xingnian looked away, pushed him away, grabbed the doorknob, and told him his answer with actions.

"Is it... you don't care if I marry someone else?"

Qiao Xingnian didn't look at him, didn't know what he said at all, and turned the doorknob on his own.Lin Nanyue twisted his body aggrievedly, forced him to look at her, and said, "You don't care if I marry someone else?"

Qiao Xingnian frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

"You should have seen what my mother said. She asked me to choose a daughter-in-law at the banquet. Since you are so unfeeling, how about I go out now and find a random woman to marry?" Lin Nanyue smiled, but her tears It came out of the eyes and flowed down the cheeks into the collar.

Seeing his painful appearance, Qiao Xingnian felt pain in his heart, and said, "Lin Nanyue, are you crazy? You not only hurt yourself, but also dragged an innocent girl into the water. This is how a policeman can Did you do it?"

"I'm not a policeman now. I'm the eldest son of the Lin family. I'm the future heir of the Lin family. As long as I agree to get married, many women will rush forward. They don't care if I love her or not. What they care about is the status of the wife of the heir of the Lin family. Don't worry, before getting married, I will make it clear to the other party that I will not force others."

Lin Nanyue was still looking at him with a smile, but tears kept flowing out like broken beads, hitting Qiao Xingnian's heart.

"You..." Qiao Xingnian was so distressed that he couldn't say any more cruel words.

"If I... I marry someone else, will you be sad?"

Unable to speak against his will, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but reach out to wipe his tears and said, "A big man is crying like this. If your team members know about it, their jaws will drop in shock."

Qiao Xingnian's attitude softened and did not appease Lin Nanyue's emotions, but instead made him feel even more wronged, tears flowed more fiercely, and he couldn't wipe them clean no matter how hard he tried.

Qiao Xingnian hugged him helplessly, and patted his back comfortingly.Lin Nanyue was startled, and tentatively hugged Qiao Xingnian back. Seeing that he didn't refuse, he hugged him tighter.

"You...what do you mean?" Lin Nanyue hiccupped unconsciously as he cried hard.

Qiao Xingnian didn't see what Lin Nanyue said, and asked, "Are you really ready?"

Lin Nanyue gently pushed Qiao Xingnian away, looked at him and nodded heavily, and said, "Mmmmmm."

"Alright then." Qiao Xingnian smiled helplessly.

Lin Nanyue pressed on and asked, "What does the word 'well' mean...?" "

Hearing his hiccup, Qiao Xingnian felt distressed again, and said, "What else do you mean, I've been entangled by you, can I still get rid of it?"

Lin Nanyue looked at Lin Nanyue with tears in his eyes, and said anxiously: "What the hell does it mean, please explain... clearly."

Qiao Xingnian read Lin Nanyue's words, put his eyes on his lips, and lowered his head to kiss him.The warm touch made Qiao Xingnian sigh inwardly, and couldn't help deepening the kiss.

I have to say that Lin Nanyue's question pierced his heart. When he thought of the picture of this man marrying someone else, his heart ached. This made him have to face up to this feeling. At that time, this man had already walked into his heart.Now that you love, let's love, there is no need to trap yourself in a cage for others.

Lin Nanyue stared blankly at Qiao Xingnian in front of him, and couldn't help holding his breath. Everything in front of him was so unreal. The person who said decisive words just now was actually kissing himself.

Lin Nanyue seemed to have regained his senses, closing his eyes to respond to Qiao Xingnian, feeling it seriously.

A knock on the door interrupted the two who were kissing deeply, Lin Nanyue froze, Qiao Xingnian noticed the change in him, stopped decisively, and looked at him from a distance.

Lin Nanyue lay on Qiao Xingnian's shoulder and said out of breath, "Someone is knocking on the door."

Qiao Xingnian couldn't see him talking, but he could feel the rise and fall of his chest, caressing his back, breathing for him, and said softly, "Why are you panting so much, you can breathe even with kissing."

Lin Nanyue's face became hot. He seemed to be holding his breath just now, until he heard another knock on the door, he stood up unwillingly and repeated, "Someone is knocking on the door."

Qiao Xingnian was startled, then gently pushed Lin Nanyue away, and said, "Today is Auntie's birthday, please cooperate, we can talk about anything after today."

Lin Nanyue blushed slightly, looked at Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Then what if she forces me to find someone else?"

"There's a knock on the door, now is not the time to whisper."

Even though Qiao Xingnian couldn't hear it, he could still feel the vibration of the door. It was obvious that the people outside were getting impatient.

Lin Nanyue reluctantly let go of Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Then I'll go wash my face, and you open the door."

Qiao Xingnian looked at his burnt hands and said, "Be careful not to touch the burnt hands with water."

Hearing his concern, Lin Nanyue couldn't help but feel happy, responded softly, turned and went to the bathroom.

Qiao Xingnian watched him walk into the bathroom, tidied his clothes, and then opened the door.

Hu Minhua and Lin Nanzhou stood at the door, seeing him open the door, they asked strangely: "Xingnian, where is Nanyue, why did you lock the door?"

"Nanyue is in the bathroom. He wanted to take a bath just now. I have trouble hearing. I was afraid that someone would knock on the door and I wouldn't be able to hear me. So I locked the door to express that it is inconvenient to see guests."

Hu Minhua frowned slightly, and said, "He's burned, why are you still taking a bath at this hour?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. I told him. He just went to the bathroom and didn't take a shower."

Hu Minhua nodded and said, "How is his burn?"

"Fortunately, there are no blisters. I just applied scalding medicine to him."

Hu Minhua breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This Zhen Caiqing is really outrageous, she behaves gentle and obedient in front of me, I didn't expect it to be such a character."

"I said before that she is self-willed and domineering, and she has a full temper of a young lady. You still don't believe me." It can be heard that Lin Nanzhou is also very dissatisfied with Zhen Caiqing.

"All right, all right, for your uncle Zhen's sake, if you meet outside, just say hello politely, and don't embarrass her too much."

Today's incident also made Hu Minhua recognize Zhen Caiqing as a person, but due to the friendship between the Lin and Zhen families, it is not easy to completely tear his face.

"There is also that Sun Yi, who usually pretends to be soft and weak, but in fact she is not what she appears to be. She is the same as Zhen Caiqing. Women with their character are not worthy of my brother at all."

"I also don't think Sun Yi is suitable for Nanyue, but she has a good voice and is straightforward and unaffected. She has a similar temperament to Nanyue, so she is quite suitable."

"Sister Qiaoyin is really good, but she and my brother grew up together, if there is anything, they can still be single until now."

"Emotions need to be cultivated. If they feel suitable, they can try to fall in love first."

Seeing the two mother and son chatting, Qiao Xingnian felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that he had to find a suitable opportunity to disclose his relationship with Lin Nanyue.

Otherwise, it will only attract strong opposition from the parents of both parties, and even make the relationship between them very stiff.

Lin Nanyue in the bathroom could hear the conversation outside clearly, and couldn't help worrying that Qiao Xingnian would be unhappy because of this, so he wiped his face quickly and walked out.
