Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 52 Embarrassment

The Spring Festival is coming soon. In Wutong County, cars are like running water, people are like dragons, and lights and festoons are everywhere, creating a peaceful scene.

On Saturday morning, the sky seemed to be heavily stained with black ink, as if it was about to snow. However, the gloom and the cold sky kept stalemate, which made people feel very cold and embarrassing.

Mei Ning had just walked out of the house happily and came to Xingfu Lane. She saw Jin Lin's car parked on the side of the road from a distance, and she walked over excitedly. After seeing Mei Ning, Jin Lin also left the car happily come out:
"Meining."

"Brother Jinlin."

"Meining, I haven't seen you in half a year, and I've become more and more temperamental."

"Brother Jinlin, you are becoming more and more gentlemanly, why don't you go find me at home?"

"I saw you as soon as I arrived at Youth East Road."

"Our brothers and sisters really have a tacit understanding!"

Mei Ning's words made Jin Lin feel very kind and warm. If the same words were said, Jin Lin would feel very embarrassed if Xu Qing said it, because Xu Qing and Mei Ning had different mentalities.

After the two got into the car, Mei Ning said very gratefully:

"Brother Jinlin, thank you. During my school days in Jicheng, I was lucky to have you, sister Caining, and Xu Qing who often helped and took care of my parents. You are really kind people."

"Meining, we are all friends who are more than family, this is what we should do."

"Brother Jinlin, after I came back, I haven't greeted Sister Caining yet, because Xu Qing has already told me about you, I don't know why you two separated?"

Jin Lin was a little embarrassed by Mei Ning's question, and he didn't know how to explain it to her, so he said helplessly, "Mei Ning, there must be a deep misunderstanding between Cai Ning and I."

"Brother Jinlin, if I have time, I will visit Sister Caining. Maybe I can solve the confusion in your hearts and help you out of the predicament."

"Meining, thank you so much."

"Brother Jinlin, did Xu Qing like you? That made Sister Caining give up."

Facing Mei Ning's question, Jin Lin felt embarrassed again: Cai Ning would definitely not get along with me as a stranger because of Xu Qing, but how could I tell Mei Ning that Xu Qing pursued me again and again? affect the relationship between them.

After a moment of silence, Jin Lin changed the subject with a smile and asked:
"Meining, is everything going well in Jicheng?"

When Mei Ning heard about the study, she became interested:
"Brother Jinlin, this is exactly what I want to report to you. My academic performance is still at the top of the list."

After hearing this, Jin Lin felt very relieved, and encouraged: "Meining, keep working hard!"

"Brother Jinlin, don't worry, I won't let you down."

"Meining, as long as you excel in your studies, I'll be relieved."

"Brother Jinlin, where are you spending the Spring Festival this year, in Wutong, or in America?"

"Because of the weather this year, I will not go to the United States, and spend the Spring Festival in Wutong County."

"Then I will accompany you."

"Thank you Meining."

"I thought in Jicheng that you and Sister Caining would be able to spend a relaxed and happy Spring Festival together this year, but..." Mei Ning didn't finish her sentence, feeling extremely sad in her heart.

Jin Lin sensed Mei Ning's state of mind and didn't want her to be sad for him, so he asked with a smile:

"Meining, where should we go for breakfast?"

"Brother Jinlin, let's go to the place where we first met."

"That's good, we brothers and sisters will go there to drink memories." Jin Lin said happily.

Jin Lin and Mei Ning came to the fast food restaurant near the Lanhua Commercial Building. As soon as the two entered the door, they felt a kind of deep kindness and warmth.

Mei Ning looked at the room and said sentimentally:

"Brother Jinlin, there are so many vacant seats now. If it had been the same as today, we would not have sat at the same table, and maybe we would never have known each other."

"Meining, this is the fate of our brothers and sisters."

"Brother Jinlin, you see that the place where we met is still waiting for us, let's just sit there." Mei Ning pointed to table 26 and said.

It was a table in the middle of the window, and it was a bright place.

"Okay, Mei Ning."

The two happily walked towards table No. 26. After they sat down, Mei Ning felt a little excited:
"Brother Jinlin, I can still feel its warmth and sweetness when I sit here again."

"Meining, my mentality is the same as yours."

……

After breakfast, Jin Lin said to Mei Ning:

"Meining, let me buy some trendy trench coats with you, and see if you need anything else."

"Brother Jinlin, thank you. It just so happens that I also want to go to the mall to browse."

"Meining, where should we buy it?"

"I want to go to the Lanhua Commercial Building." Mei Ning said without thinking.

After hearing this, Jin Lin felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Meining, I haven't been there since Caining and I became strangers. I'm afraid we'll be embarrassed. I think we should go to Phoenix Shopping Center!"

After hearing this, Mei Ning insisted, "I'll go to the Lanhua Commercial Building!"

"Then what should we do when we see Cai Ning?" Jin Lin asked suspiciously.

Mei Ning said with a smile: "It can't be such a coincidence, sister Cai Ning doesn't go to work every day, even if she does go to work, she won't be at the same time." Through their own arrival, rekindle the fire of love.

Jin Lin saw that Mei Ning insisted on going and didn't want to refuse her, so he smiled and said, "I really can't do anything with you, well, I promise you."

"Okay, let's go now." Mei Ning said happily.

Lanhua Commercial Building is full of colorful lights, and many auspicious knots make the commercial building look like a red ocean, showing a magnificent and auspicious beauty.

In the women's clothing store on the second floor of the commercial building, like a loyal servant, Jin Lin patiently accompanied Mei Ning to choose clothes, and bought three coats for her in a row.

After buying clothes with Mei Ning, Jin Lin was about to go downstairs, Mei Ning stood at the stairs and asked concerned: "Brother Jin Lin, are you not buying new clothes? Let's go to the fourth floor to see the boutique men's clothing." Come on, maybe there will be something you like!"

Jin Lin smiled and said to Mei Ning: "I won't buy it, not to mention I have a lot of clothes, and I'm old, so I don't care about what I wear." In fact, Jin Lin faced the current awkward situation with Cai Ning He is gradually indifferent to his own life, and even less particular about his clothes.

Mei Ning followed Jin Lin downstairs and half-jokingly said:

"You are still old, you are only 35 years old. When I was trying on clothes just now, I saw you in the mirror. You looked so young and graceful. I feel that we are as harmonious as a husband and wife."

Jin Lin felt embarrassed when he heard that, and said quickly:
"Meining, don't talk nonsense. With so many people, you, a little girl, will affect your reputation. How will you marry in the future?"

Mei Ning was also a little embarrassed when she heard this, she looked a little green, smiled and glanced at Jin Lin, and said:

"Brother Jinlin, look at what you said. It's too straightforward. Well, I will listen to you and don't talk nonsense."

"Meining, is there anything else you need?" Jin Lin asked with concern.

"Brother Jinlin, I want to go to the supermarket." Mei Ning raised her face and said with a smile.

Jinlin and Mei Ning came to the supermarket on the west side of the first floor with a nervous mood. He looked around and found that Cai Ning was really not there. He thought that he could finally avoid the embarrassing situation.

Seeing that Cai Ning was not there, Mei Ning felt a little disappointed: "Brother Jin Lin, otherwise I won't buy it."

But Jinlin became interested: "Since we're here, let's go around more. You can buy more snacks, and I'll buy some boxes of coffee."

"OK then."

The two "brothers and sisters" spent more than half an hour in the supermarket, bought a shopping cart full, and were pushing towards the No. 7 cash register. At the cash register, at this time, Cai Ning came to take over in an emergency. She was wearing sleeves with her head down, and she didn't see them:

"Please wait."

"Caining, hello." Jinlin greeted with deep love.

Caining raised her head and couldn't believe her eyes. The dream-like feeling emerged again: Jinlin, why is it so clever today? I came here temporarily, and you probably came here by accident, but we can meet again Together.So she stared at Jinlin affectionately and said:
"Jinlin, hello."

"How are you these days? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."

After hearing this, Caining remembered her promise to Xu Qing again. She covered her mouth, shook her head in melancholy and fear, and immediately smiled and said, like a different person:
"Oh sir, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Sister Caining, don't you recognize me?" Mei Ning asked with a smile.

Seeing Mei Ning, Cai Ning also said naturally:

"Oh, lady, I'm sorry I don't remember, but you're very pretty."

When Mei Ning heard this, she was very surprised, felt embarrassed, and her voice became hoarse.She felt unimaginable: Sister Caining pretended not to know brother Jinlin, it was understandable, but how could I pretend not to know him?
When Caining was scanning the products for Jinlin, Jinlin thought that such a coincidental meeting might eliminate the gap in Caining's heart, so he said affectionately:
"Caining, we must have had a deep misunderstanding. I have never been able to figure out why. We love each other so deeply that now we can't even say a word, can't we even be ordinary friends?"

After Caining heard this, her eyes were sad and her mood fluctuated: Jinlin, I have too many embarrassments and contradictions, but I can't tell you, the only way I can do now is to treat you like this.Therefore, Caining solemnly said:

"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about, but please be respectful."

... "Sir, your product is 567 yuan,"

... "This is 33 yuan for you, please go slowly."

"color……".

Just as Jin Lin wanted to say something to Cai Ning, Mei Ning took his hand and left.After seeing Jin Lin leave, Cai Ning looked intently, and meditated silently: Jin Lin, every time we met here, it turned into our deep-rooted memory, but today's meeting is so embarrassing and painful.

After Jin Lin and Mei Ning walked out of the Orchid Commercial Building, Mei Ning said:

"Brother Jinlin, didn't you see that sister Caining even pretended not to know me, and you still..."

At this time, in the supermarket of Lanhua Commercial Building, Jinlin and Meining became the topic of discussion among Caining's colleagues again.

"It's said that Mei Ning found a good boyfriend, but I didn't expect him to be so gentlemanly." After hearing this, Cai Ning felt extremely embarrassed.

"Meining is so beautiful and eloquent, she must be..." Before they finished speaking, Caining immediately explained:

"They are brothers and sisters, not what you think." Cai Ning's words stopped the discussion of those female cashiers.

One of the cashiers still couldn't help saying: "But they really look like siblings."
