Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 173
New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner.

A large table of sumptuous meals is dazzling, which makes people's index fingers move.

There are warm lights in the room, the TV is on, and the Spring Festival Gala is playing.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, fireworks fly brilliantly.

"I have dinner here!"

Gongsun Jin attached a photo of the New Year's Eve dinner on the table and sent it to Zhong Lingzi.

Lingzi: "Wow, I want to eat (tears)"

"How long will it take to get to your show?"

"Soon (cute)"

When chatting with her, Gongsun Jin always had a smile on his face.

"Brother, don't always play with your phone while eating."

Yuyu eats rice crispy and authentic.

"Okay, okay, stop playing."

When eating, Gongsun Jin couldn't help but glance at the TV.

In his memory, he never seemed to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Because I feel bored.

But today, his heart is full of expectations.

"Next, please enjoy the song "Legend" brought to us by Ms. Zhong Lingzi."

After hearing the host's announcement, Gongsun Jin suddenly opened his eyes wide, and unknowingly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand.

"coming……"

As the prelude sounded, Zhong Lingzi in formal attire slowly appeared on the stage.

On stage tonight, she is not wild or unruly, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Just because I looked at you more in the crowd, I never forgot your face again."

The first sentence that he spoke was enough to captivate everyone.

It is the feeling of Faye Wong singing in Gongsun Jin's memory.

"It sounds so beautiful."

"It's like the sound of nature."

People who heard this song put down what they were doing at this moment and listened to this song intently.

"I dreamed that I could meet again one day by chance, and I began to miss it alone."

"When I miss you, you are in the sky, when I miss you, you are in front of my eyes."

"When I miss you, you are in my mind, and when I miss you, you are in my heart."

Zhong Lingzi's voice was gentle and clear, like the sound of stream water flowing over pebbles after melting ice and snow.

Gongsun Jin looked at Zhong Lingzi, who stood tall and graceful on the stage and sang the song that fascinated everyone, with a slight smile on his face.

He listened carefully, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.

Seeing Gongsun Jin's satisfied face while listening to the song, Zhuang Xiaoyu slowed down his eating, blinked his eyes, and quietly observed his sister's reaction.

"Look at me for what?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng ate the food, speaking casually.

"Brother looks at Sister Lingzi's eyes, it's so gentle."

Yuyu whispered.

"With so many dishes, can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng picked up a chicken leg and was about to stuff it into her mouth. After looking at it, he put it in his bowl again, and then blocked Yuyu's mouth with a braised lion's head.

Li Jian's inspiration for creating this song came from Zweig's "Letter from a Strange Woman".

That strange woman was a legend in that era and in the life of the hero.

"This song is really powerful. When I listen to it, I feel like my soul is gone."

"When I listened to her singing, my mind became in a trance and I forgot what I was doing."

Many people only realize it after listening to it.

It was like having a big dream and suddenly woke up.

"After listening, can we eat?"

Shi Qing joked.

"Uh-huh."

Gongsun Jin came back to his senses, smiled, and then picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

The program crew, after recording the program, Zhong Lingzi politely declined the crew's dinner invitation, and rushed to the airport to return to Yingwu Island without stopping.

Grandma and sister are waiting for her to go home for reunion dinner.

A flight of more than two hours is not very long.

But for Zhong Lingzi, who was about to return home, it seemed extraordinarily long.

It was past midnight when I got home, but there was still a light on for her.

The remaining half-month vacation after the year ended quickly.

Because of family factors, Zhong Lingzi and Gongsun Jin didn't have any relatives to visit.

Although after becoming famous, gradually some relatives who were less than one piece of money came out to ask for their relatives.

But the relationship between the two men with their relatives is very thin.

During the rest period, nothing more than taking the younger sisters out to eat and drink.

Go to amusement parks, shopping malls, and temple fairs.

The temple fair is crowded with people, some people dance lions, others dance dragons.

All the way accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

At the market, some people were wearing Tang suits, and they were making sugar figurines and candied haws.

Both Zhong Shu'er and Zhuang Xiaoyu liked to come to see them, and pestered Gongsun Jin to buy them two dragon-shaped sugar figurines.

The candy figurine was so beautifully drawn that the little girl was reluctant to eat it.

Walking in the temple fair, holding her sister's hand, and seeing their happy faces, Gongsun Jin thought of her mother again.

He hadn't thought of her for a long time.

At that time, she was holding his hand during the New Year's Eve, passing a bustling road and walking onto a deserted railway track.

Although, she came back holding his hand later, but this scene has always been deeply engraved in his heart and cannot be forgotten.

"This peach cake is not bad, try it, ah~"

Zhong Lingzi took a piece of peach cake and handed it to his mouth.

Seeing that Gongsun Jin didn't respond, and her eyes seemed to lose focus, she tilted her head and leaned over to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Huh? No... nothing."

Gongsun Jin came back to her senses and saw the peach cake she fed to her mouth, and was about to open her mouth to eat it.

But Zhong Lingzi withdrew his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and then he looked at him with a smile.

"Is there something else on your mind?"

"It's not a worry, it's just that I suddenly thought of my mother."

Gongsun Jin said calmly.

Hearing what he said, Zhuang Xiaoyu and Zhong Shu'er both looked over, their eyes seemed a little disappointed.

"Mom..."

Zhong Lingzi narrowed his eyes, his voice became ethereal, as if he was trying to remember something.

"Forget it, why do people think about unhappy things?"

"Looking for trouble."

She shook her head and fed a piece of peach cake to Gongsun Jin.

He took out two more pieces of peanut candy and fed them to Zhong Shu'er and Zhuang Xiaoyu respectively.

"Well, it's because I'm too sentimental, and I always think about the place I came from."

Gongsun Jin nodded.

"The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be pursued."

Zhong Lingzi raised his head and brushed the hair around his ear, looking very free and easy.

"Ah."

Gongsun Jin nodded slightly.

Lingzi's heart was even stronger than his.

On the way home, Zhong Lingzi met an unexpected visitor at the door.

Xiao Wanjun, and Wang Lu and her father.

She is still so young and beautiful, with few wrinkles around her eyes.

Carrying a novel and beautiful handbag, well-dressed and bright, she looks like a rich wife.

When she looked at Zhong Lingzi, her gaze was a little dodgy, but she still had a forced smile.

Wang Lu's eyes were still as calm as ever.

Regarding Zhong Lingzi's current situation, she didn't have any envy or hatred, but was somewhat relieved.

She also listened to Zhong Lingzi's songs.

Wang Lu's father's face was filled with enthusiasm, and he was quite excited.

After learning about the relationship between Zhong Lingzi and Xiao Wanjun, he was overjoyed.

With Zhong Lingzi's current social status and popularity, getting in touch with her would definitely be beneficial and harmless.

There are countless brands who hope to cooperate with her, and many luxury brands have offered her an olive branch.

If she can be his company's brand spokesperson at a "friendly price", it will definitely bring his company's popularity to a higher level.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang called Xiao Wanjun and her daughter to visit her in person, hoping to get in touch with each other.

"Shu'er."

After seeing Zhong Shu'er beside Zhong Lingzi, Xiao Wanjun took a step forward.

"Mother……"

Zhong Shu'er looked at the familiar woman in front of her, and also took a step forward.

She is just a child and has not experienced what Zhong Lingzi experienced.

For her mother, she misses more than hates her.

Looking at this scene, Zhong Lingzi frowned, and hatred rose in his heart.

"return!"

She yelled loudly, grabbed Zhong Shu'er's arm, and pulled her back.

Her voice was so loud that even Zhuang Xiaoyu who was beside Gongsun Jin was startled.

Zhong Shu'er was dragged back by her, and raised her head to look at her sister.

Zhong Lingzi's eyes were terribly cold, she had never seen her sister so angry.

My sister has always been responsive to her requests and dotes on her extremely.

There has never been such a big fire like now.

Zhong Shu'er lowered her head, pouted a little aggrieved, and her eyes began to turn red.

Seeing this, Gongsun Jin put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently.

This is Zhong Lingzi's family matter, and he is not easy to get involved.

"Come here, what's up?"

Zhong Lingzi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly.

Xiao Wanjun looked at Zhong Lingzi with a cold face, opened her mouth to say something, but knew she was wrong, so she just lowered her head and said nothing.

Father Wang saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he smiled and exchanged greetings.

"Lingzi, I am..."

"I know who you are, but there is nothing between you and me."

Before Wang's father could establish a relationship, Zhong Lingzi interrupted him first.

Father Wang was not annoyed when he heard the words, he still smiled and said: "I have a business I want to discuss with you."

"For business matters, you can talk to the agent in my studio."

Zhong Lingzi waved his hand, took out the key, and led Zhong Shu'er to enter the door.

In the three years of high school, she suffered all kinds of cold eyes and ridicule.

The root cause of all these tragedies is Xiao Wanjun and this man.

If she accepts this man's brand endorsement now, she will be completely reduced to a laughing stock.

Zhong Lingzi didn't yell at him, he already had a good temper.

"This……"

Seeing Zhong Lingzi's indifferent attitude, the prince's father was at a loss for a while, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Wanjun.

Xiao Wanjun hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and handed over the gift she was carrying.

"Lingzi... Shu'er..."

Zhong Lingzi didn't seem to hear it, but Zhong Shu'er couldn't help but look at her again.

"boom!"

Seeing the door close in front of her, Xiao Wanjun held back what she wanted to say, and looked at Father Wang in blank dismay.

Wang Lu still didn't respond, she just looked at Gongsun Jin and said softly, "When will you release a new song?"

Gongsun Jin was taken aback for a moment, then said: "It's coming soon."

"Oh, as soon as possible."

Wang Lu nodded slightly.

"Be nice to her."

After a while, she looked at the locked door and said softly.

"I will."

Gongsun Jin nodded, then took Yuyu's hand and left.

He believed that Lingzi would handle these matters well.

She just needs a little time to be quiet now.

After entering, Zhong Lingzi immediately locked the door.

Grandma was sitting in the living room at this time, not saying a word, with a cup of cold tea in front of her.

Xiao Wanjun came early, and she never opened the door, nor said a word to her daughter.

Looking at her grandmother's back, Zhong Lingzi always felt that her back was bent again, and her hair became even whiter.

Looking at the younger sister beside her, she suddenly became out of breath, raised her hand and was about to slap her.

Zhong Shu'er closed her eyes in fear and shrank her neck.

"hu~hu~"

Zhong Lingzi's eyes were flushed, and her chest heaved violently.

When breathing, the lungs seemed to have a hole, and there was a raw pain.

"I really wish I could slap you to death."

As she spoke, she grabbed her younger sister's ear, with a hint of hatred for iron.

When Zhong Shu'er heard this, she burst into tears immediately.

"Cry! You know how to cry! What's the use of crying?"

Zhong Lingzi patted her on the head a few times and reprimanded her.

"No matter how hard you cry, does your mother want you? She doesn't want you anymore, do you know?"

When Zhong Shu'er heard her say that, she cried even more sadly.

She is just a child, she has reason to cry and also reason to be ignorant.

But Zhong Lingzi is a person who can't see tears.

"Just cry, and she won't want you when your tears run dry."

She looked into her sister's eyes, her voice was very indifferent.

She will never forget how she got here all these years.

After crying for a long time, Zhong Shu'er also stopped, and began to wipe away tears, unable to stop sobbing.

Zhong Lingzi looked outside the door and found that there was no one there, so he opened the door.

"Look, is she still there?"

She pointed to the empty door and asked Zhong Shu'er.

Zhong Shu'er pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Do you understand now?"

"If you really miss her, I can go and call her back."

Zhong Lingzi walked up to Zhong Shu'er, knelt down, and looked into her eyes with unprecedented seriousness.

She said word by word: "I'll let you see if she will take you with me."

"Do you want to know?"

Zhong Shu'er was silent, never speaking.

In fact, she vaguely knew the answer in her heart, and her mother would never take her away.

However, in the child's heart, there is only the last trace of fantasy and nostalgia.

"If you want to follow mom, get out of this house."

"Even if you starve to death or freeze to death in the future, don't come to me, don't come to grandma."

"Do you want to follow her? As long as you want, I will send you there now."

Zhong Lingzi did not comfort her.

Zhong Shuer's voice was sobbing, but she still shook her head.

"Lingzi, forget it, she's still young."

Grandma felt a little distressed and couldn't help but speak out to dissuade her.

Zhong Lingzi took his sister's hand, sat down in front of the door, looked at the direction Xiao Wanjun left, and calmed down his emotions.

"Do you want to know how you got the money for tuition, medicine, and meals?"

As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed Zhong Shu'er's eyes.

Zhong Shu'er nodded and looked sideways at her.

"I want to know, then sister will tell you slowly."

"My sister used to go to the bar to sing songs for two hours every day, earning 200 yuan a day."

"But my sister eats two steamed buns with green vegetables for dinner every day, and it costs one yuan."

"When you are sick, a box of medicine costs more than 2 yuan. Mom and Dad haven't paid a penny."

"My sister fell many times when she was learning to ride a bicycle. For a few days, she broke her leg and couldn't walk. She just jumped."

"In order to buy medicine for you, my sister has to deliver food no matter it is windy or rainy. You only earn one yuan per order. Sometimes the delivery is slow, and people don't want it."

"Once, the medicine I bought for you was thrown into the trash can. It was raining heavily that day, and my brother and I searched through the trash cans on the whole street. It took nine hours to find the medicine for you. "

"So, do you understand where the money came from?"

Zhong Lingzi put his hands on his younger sister's face, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

In fact, she really didn't want to talk about this to Zhong Shu'er.

But she had to let her know who was doing everything to keep her alive.
