C54 Old Dream

"Yeah. "

Lin Jia heard some noisy music coming from the other end of the phone, some people were talking, some were cheering.

No wonder he didn't open the door when she knocked on the door. It turned out that he wasn't home.

Su Huai's voice was intermittent, "It's good that you got it. Rest early. I still have things to do and won't talk much. "

Before he hung up the phone, Lin Jia heard a delicate female voice calling him Young Master Su. Although the surrounding sounds were very chaotic, they were still clearly transmitted over through the microphone.

Young Master Su, that girl who came to pick up Su Huai a few days ago also called him like this.

"I. . . "

The words of thanks that he had thought of many times were cut off by the busy sound that came from the end of the call.

Lin Jia held her phone in her hands and froze there. After a while, she curled her lips and said, "Alright, actually, I just wanted to say thank you. "

Since he didn't have time to accept it, then forget it.

Holding the handkerchief, Lin Jia stared at it without blinking. The more she looked, the more comfortable she felt. The more she looked, the more satisfied she felt. She was like a little animal that had been pacified, moaning and groaning. She hugged her small handkerchief and tightened her protective talisman. The feeling of losing and regaining was simply explosive. Lin Jia only felt that the emptiness in her heart was instantly filled up. It was as if the lost luck was lost again tonight. Through the drizzle, she quietly returned to her side.

The phone screen silently lit up.

A message from Su Huai was quietly lying inside the inbox.

The words that were hastily typed out carried an icy cold aura that kept people away a thousand miles away.

He said, There's no need to thank me. I coincidentally saw this bag and coincidentally knew that it was your bag. It was only convenient for me to retrieve it and return it to you. If it was someone else, I would have done the same.

Lin Jia's smile froze at the corner of her mouth. She had sent this over just to say this? What exactly was he trying to express? He wanted her to not think too much?

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

A person could also emit a slightly strange loud laugh. Lin Jia threw her phone to the side, and it didn't affect her good mood because of Su Huai's message.

Before going to sleep, she carefully folded the small handkerchief, and before going into the dream, Lin Jia was still worried as she stretched out her hand to touch it.

The small handkerchief was embroidered with complicated and exquisite patterns. The pure handmade embroidery was all made in such a fine line. The reason why this handkerchief was precious and was worn by Lin Jia as a protective talisman. There was another reason - the handkerchief was personally embroidered by Grandma.

On the hottest night of midsummer, Granny sat on a large wooden chair by the window. The old cat at home was sleeping with its legs crossed. The needles in Granny's hands seemed to have a life of their own as they danced freely on the bottom of the cloth.

At that time, she always liked to lean against the small stool beside Grandma and play with the toys in her hands. After so many years, every time she recalled this scene, she would still smell the unique scent of sandalwood that lingered on her grandmother's body. It was peaceful, tranquil, and even carried a sacred smell.

Her temperament was very similar to her grandmother's. She was stubborn and stubborn. As long as she was certain that it was the right thing to do, she would persist to the end. No one could change the decision they had made. Even if they touched the southern wall, they would not turn back.

It was precisely because of this that she had a disagreement with Grandma. One of them stubbornly insisted that she must pass down the Xia family's embroidery legacy, while the other always yearned for life outside. She was not willing to put all of her expectations on a family heirloom like Grandma.

What happened after that?

Lin Jia could not resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

She had a dream that she couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion. In the dream, her grandmother was sitting on a wooden chair in the living room, waving a cattail leaf fan and humming a children's song. A golden full moon was shining brightly, and she could clearly see the osmanthus trees and distant mountains in the moon. The soft and beautiful moonlight covered the night with a layer of charming light. It was a blissful and intoxicating night.

It was another morning.

Lin Jia woke up early in the morning.

Although she didn't sleep for long, she was surprisingly energetic.

She was busy inside and outside, rummaging around. She wanted to take out a white leather bag to match it, but she couldn't find it no matter how hard she tried.

"Did you put it in the cabinet at the top?" Lin Jia looked up at the top shelf of the shelf in confusion.

Although it was troublesome to flip it up, she still decided to bring a stool over. It was rare that she was in such a good mood. She even deliberately put on beautiful light makeup. Important accessories such as bags still needed to be paired with the ones she liked to feel perfect.

However, when Lin Jia climbed to a high place, she saw a large wooden box placed at the innermost side of the cabinet. The main material of the box was sandalwood, and the lid was engraved with the pattern of dragons and phoenixes. The copper lock that was locked on the box cover had been old and had no luster. However, there was an indescribable feeling. It settled down over time and stopped flowing.

Her memories were overturned, and even those buried memories were stirred up. The familiar face seemed to be right in front of her eyes. Separated by time and space and life and death, she clearly felt her heart ache.

Lin Jia's finger had just touched the wooden box when it seemed to have been scalded. It abruptly shrank. She held her breath and did not dare to look at it again. She hurriedly grabbed the bag that was placed in a corner and fled in panic.

On the way to work, Lin Jia was unable to calm herself down.

She happened to catch up with a particularly busy morning when she made the phone call. One after another, Lin Jia dealt with wave after wave. Familiar swelling pain slowly came from between her eyebrows. At that moment, a message popped up on WeChat. It was a message from Zhang Xiaoyan.

"Miss Lin, I'm going to the Western restaurant tonight at seven o'clock? Will you come with me? "

It was only after Lin Jia was reminded that she suddenly remembered about the date.

On the surface, she was the one who asked Su Huai out to treat her.

But in reality, the person who truly wanted to spend a beautiful night with Su Huai was Zhang Xiaoyan.

Many things had happened yesterday, one after another, shocking everyone. She had always been exhausted from dealing with them, so she had forgotten some of the less important things.

For example, this date.

"I'm not free tonight" Lin Jia quickly replied.

"Miss Lin, if you don't go to Su Huai to ask me, how should I answer? Would he be embarrassed? Would he mind if he knew that I would be the one to change the situation at the last minute? I. . . I'm a little nervous. I really don't know how to deal with it. " Zhang Xiaoyan sent a long message in one breath. It looked like she was really uneasy. Her words were a little incoherent.

Lin Jia glanced at him and did not intend to reply.

Zhang Xiaoyan sent her next WeChat message: "Can you come with me? I can only feel at ease with you around. "

Lin Jia's mood was calm. She pressed a few words with one hand: "I have something to do, I can't go. "

She had already agreed to do what she wanted to do.

Some people would always take an inch for an inch and forget what was appropriate to know.

She could feel Lin Jia's impatient emotions. Zhang Xiaoyan finally calmed down.

Lin Jia tidied her clothes and walked out of the subway station.

It was time for work. The business district seemed to be very busy. The time spent waiting for the elevator was obviously longer than usual. Lin Jia lowered her eyes as she recalled the contents of today's work in her mind. She tried to use this method to relieve the heaviness in her heart.

The elevator stopped once every floor.

When she arrived at the f * cking office floor, Lin Jia actually felt a little stuffy.

She took a detour and heard the cheerful chatting sound from far away.

When she walked closer, she saw Su Huai leaning sideways into the tall office desk at the front desk, extremely close to Zhou Siyu as he whispered something into her ear.

Zhou Siyu was so amused that her face beamed with joy, and her eyebrows and eyes curved into a beautiful arc.

Lin Jia saw it as soon as Zhou Siyu appeared, and she hurriedly pushed Su Huai, "Stop messing around, Miss Lin is watching. "
