Familiar streets, strangers.

Lin Xiao came out of seclusion and successfully broke through to the fourth-level Shredded Wuwu Master.

But he suddenly felt a little tired, so he came out of seclusion.

This is Yujiang City, where Lin Xiao has lived for twenty-one years. There are so many memories of him here.

However, there are no one here that he is nostalgic for.

Lin Xiao was staring at a wedding photo in the window in a daze. He was very familiar with the people in the photo. The man was his classmate and the woman was his classmate.

"They were all married." Lin Xiao sighed.

Just then...

"Brother Lin?"

A cry of surprise suddenly came from behind.

Lin Xiao slowly turned his head to look.

"It's Qingqing!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

The person who called Lin Xiao behind her was Yan Qingqing, who had not seen him for many years. She hadn't seen him for more than two years. Yan Qingqing became more beautiful than before. When she saw Lin Xiao just now, she was obviously a little hesitant, not sure if she had recognized the wrong person.

After all, it has been more than two years since we met, and things have changed. Moreover, when Lin Xiao left without saying goodbye, Yan Qingqing was still a little angry when he said that.

But for some reason, as soon as he saw Lin Xiao, some of the resentment that had accumulated in Yan Qingqing's heart disappeared instantly.

"Brother Lin, where have you been there during this period?" Yan Qingqing came up and said with a complaining look on his face.

"Let's go around and relax." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

It’s enough to know some things yourself. Yan Qingqing and the others are not on the same level after all. There is no need to drag them into the water for many things, and Lin Xiao doesn’t want them to be hurt because of his own reasons.

"I always turn off when I call you." Yan Qingqing complained in a low voice.

"I don't need that number anymore." Lin Xiao was ashamed. He had long known where the number was thrown. In fact, he hadn't even touched his phone for a long time.

"They are all married!" Yan Qingqing suddenly turned her head and looked at the wedding photo in the showcase window and said.

"Yeah, yes." Lin Xiao nodded, then looked at Yan Qingqing with a smile and asked, "Qingqing, what about you? What's going on? When are you planning to get married?"

Lin Xiao was a joke, but who knew that as soon as he said that Yan Qingqing's face changed.

"Qingqing, are you okay?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Brother Lin!" Yan Qingqing bit her lower lip lightly, tears rolling in her eyes. She choked and said, "You know, my parents are both businessmen. My family has been doing business for generations."

Lin Xiao nodded, he naturally knew this.

"My dad has a good friend. He used to come to sit at home and I called him godfather, but a few days ago, my dad suddenly called me to the study and said he wanted to talk to me about something."

Speaking of this, Yan Qingqing was already sobbing that she couldn't speak.

Lin Xiao hugged her gently, carefully patted her back, and comforted her.

In fact, there is no need to tell Lin Xiao that Lin Xiao can guess eight out of ten.

It was nothing more than her godfather who came to propose marriage. Yan Qingqing's father obviously wanted to agree. So he went to Yan Qingqing to talk to him. As for the content of the conversation, it was actually not important.

"Be good, stop crying. If I cry again, I will really make people angry." Lin Xiao said jokingly.

After all, it was on the street, and pedestrians were walking around everywhere.

Yan Qingqing, a beautiful woman, leaned against Lin Xiao's chest and cried like this. Lin Xiao could already feel countless murderous eyes turning to him.

When Yan Qingqing heard Lin Xiao's words, she stopped crying, raised her head and looked at the surroundings, and couldn't help laughing.

"Go to my house to have a seat? Not far from here." Lin Xiao said.

Lin Xiao had absolutely no other thoughts when he said this. He really just wanted to find a quiet place to listen to Yan Qingqing's complaints.

However, the speaker was unintentionally the listener was intentional. Yan Qingqing nodded slightly red and said "Ye" in a small, almost inaudible voice.

...

Familiar community, familiar elevator, familiar people.

But the relatives were no longer there. When Lin Xiao entered the house, he subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted "Grandpa, grandma", but his mouth had just opened, but he stopped again.

yes!

Grandpa and grandma are no longer there.

"Brother Lin, are you okay?"

Yan Qingqing behind him couldn't help but ask with some concern when he saw Lin Xiao standing at the door without reaction.

Come back to his senses from memories, Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, come in and sit down." Lin Xiao said.

Close the door, Lin Xiao waved his hand and suddenly the dusty house became brand new in an instant.

"Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." Lin Xiao said.

Yan Qingqing nodded and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

After a while, Lin Xiao came out with two glasses of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Tell me, have you seen him?" Lin Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing nodded.

"I saw them when I was a child. They often came to my house to play, but they became rare when they grew up. I didn't expect why they came back to propose marriage this time. Brother Lin, I really don't know what to do."

Yan Qingqing frowned in distress, "My father asked me to agree. My father almost framed his business. At that time, it was their family who helped me. My father said that we should be grateful in life, but I don't want to use me as a person to repay this kind of kindness."

As he spoke, Yan Qingqing started crying again.

After all, she is just a 21-year-old girl. She stayed in the sect for many years and didn’t have much contact with the world. Yan Qingqing’s heart was completely different from those of the girls nowadays. She obviously felt very embarrassed about this matter.

On one hand is her father and on the other hand is her lifelong happiness. Yan Qingqing didn't know how to choose.

She has been upset about this matter these days, and today she went out shopping because she was upset. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Lin Xiao who also came out for a walk.

Lin Xiao handed her a tissue, and looking at her sad look, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"I want to ask you a question. Do you like that man?" Lin Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing shook her head without thinking.

"Although I was playing together when I was a child, I was just a playmate from my childhood. And I heard that he had many women outside, and he was a romantic playboy. I don't like such people." Yan Qingqing said.

"Isn't that all?" Lin Xiao said, "Since you don't like it yourself, there is no need to change your own ideas because of the will of others. If your father wants to repay his kindness, he can use other methods. There is no need to sacrifice his daughter's lifelong happiness."

Sometimes, the elders are all very proud of their face. And they probably think that if two young people often get together, nothing can be obtained.

Isn’t feelings just accumulated over the years?

Obviously they think so, even if their daughter may suffer some losses at the beginning, they will get used to it over time.

It is possible that they came through this when they were young, and they felt that they were living a good life now, and they imposed their wishes on the next generation, thinking that they were doing their good.

However, if you don’t know the joy of fish?

In some things, it is important to stick to yourself. Of course, if your persistence is wrong, you should listen to other people's opinions.

Now, Yan Qingqing doesn't like that man. She can even say that she is a little annoying. She lets her live with a person she hates for the rest of her life. Every morning she wakes up, she has to see that face. Is this kind of life a human being?

Anyway, Lin Xiao is firmly opposed to such a thing. If Yan Qingqing didn't tell him, he wouldn't know. Then that would be fine. Since he knew now, as a friend, Lin Xiao really couldn't sit idly by.

To put it bluntly, if the other party insists on making trouble, Lin Xiao doesn't mind sending them to hell.

"Brother Lin, do you think I should refuse?" Yan Qingqing looked at Lin Xiao and asked.

"Of course you have to refuse!" Lin Xiao said, "not only do you have to refuse, but you have to refuse very hard. You have to tell your father directly. You will never marry someone you don't like, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand!" Yan Qingqing nodded slightly.

"Next time when you encounter something like this, you must stick to your own choices. You will always think about it and you will be very tiring to live!" Lin Xiao patted the back of her hand gently and said softly.

"kindness."

Yan Qingqing lowered her head and her cheeks were slightly red.

Lin Xiao noticed this and withdrew his hand awkwardly.

Just now, it was just a subconscious action. Lin Xiao himself did not realize anything, but Yan Qingqing's expression made Lin Xiao understand something at once.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became ambiguous.

The two were silent for a while, and finally Yan Qingqing broke the silence deadlock.

"Brother Lin, will you still leave?" she asked with her head raised.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but nodded and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to leave here again in a short while. This time I come back, I'll just look at my hometown."

"Ah~! You're leaving again!" Yan Qingqing frowned when she heard that Lin Xiao was leaving.

"Can you not leave?" she said, "Isn't it great to stay? You've been leaving for almost three years."

Lin Xiao shook his head. Yan Qingqing didn't understand some things, and Lin Xiao didn't want to say them. Just as he thought before, it would be better not to involve Yan Qingqing and the others in some things.

"I have some important things that I have to do, so I can't leave." Lin Xiao said.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, a hint of hesitation flashed across Yan Qingqing's face. Then she seemed to have made some decision, and suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Xiao with a serious look.

"Brother Lin, I want to go with you!" she said loudly.

"Go with me?" Lin Xiao was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
