Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 446 The Torment of Waiting



Chapter 446 The Torment of Waiting

About two hours ago, Yuncheng.

"Manager Chen, are you feeling better?"

"Hyolin, are you okay?"

Chen Xiaolin walked between the tents hung with colorful lights. Everyone was gathered together, drinking, chatting, playing the piano, singing, and playing games.

When people see the beautiful Chen walking by, those who know that she is allergic to holly flowers will greet her.

Chen Xiaolin smiled and answered one by one that it was okay.

Finally she found Song Boxian and his group, and since they were all acquaintances, Song Boxian and his group immediately called her over.

Chen Xiaolin sat down, and Zhou Shuheng immediately cut the mutton for her and handed it to her, "Try it, Mr. Song and his team grilled it themselves, it's really good."

"Thank you." Chen Xiaolin took a bite and said, "It's really good."

After saying that, he looked at Song Boxian and said, "It has a special spice flavor compared to what I've had before."

Song Boxian explained: "This is Yuncheng's special seasoning. Lin Kai found it for me. This is also my first time eating it."

Chen Xiaolin looked at Lin Kai and said with a smile, "It seems that men in Beijing are good at cooking. During the Spring Festival dinner at Mr. Li's house, Mr. Li roasted a whole lamb which was also very delicious."

Lin Kai smiled and continued, "He is just a chef who was delayed by IT, otherwise he would have to work in the catering industry like us, haha."

Everyone laughs.

Chen Xiaolin also laughed and looked around, "Speaking of President Li, why don't you see him?"

Song Boxian just smiled and said nothing when he heard this.

Lin Kai was also in charge of visiting other guests' camps, so he wasn't quite sure where he had gone. "Yeah, where did that guy go?"

Qin Yue was also surprised and said, "He said he had something to do and had to go back to the B&B more than half an hour ago. Why hasn't he come yet?" He added, "It's not so hard to come out, but this workaholic is going to work overtime, right?"

"You call him a workaholic, it would be abnormal if he didn't work overtime." Others followed suit, but no one could tell where he had gone.

Chen Xiaolin followed everyone's joke, smiled and said nothing else, that is, she came out of the B&B about half an hour ago, but did not run into Li Zhen. Did they miss each other?

It gets dark very late in Yuncheng, and it is not until around 7 or 8 in the evening that there are signs of night falling. The temperature also becomes cooler than during the day. Especially since they are now in the mountains, many people put on extra coats.

Only those dancing around the campfire were still full of heat.

Song Baixian and Qin Yue were already playing truth or dare in their camp. Zhou Shuheng turned back to talk to Chen Xiaolin from time to time. This time, when he turned around and was about to talk to her again, Chen Xiaolin said to him, "Minister, I feel a little cold. Go get some clothes to wear first."

"I'll get it for you." Zhou Shuheng said immediately.

Chen Xiaolin quickly refused, "Oh no, I have something else to do, you guys continue playing."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and told the others present to leave for a while. Because the evening was free time, some people went to visit other tents, and some went to other places, so unless there was a special reason, no one would pay special attention to one person.

Chen Xiaolin returned to the B&B and found no one else on the first floor except a receptionist on duty.

The receptionist is a local woman in her twenties, slightly plump, with dark skin. When she saw a girl like Chen Xiaolin who had fair skin, beautiful looks, and noble and elegant temperament, she couldn't help but feel envious and admired. When she saw her at the front desk today, she sincerely praised her, "You are more beautiful than the female stars on TV."

Seeing her come back now, he immediately asked enthusiastically in Mandarin with a strong local flavor, "Miss Chen, are you back so early?"

Chen Xiaolin is not only beautiful and has a good temperament, but also very friendly. She smiled and answered the front desk: "Yes, it's a bit cold, so I came back first."

The receptionist immediately said, "Yes, it's cooler here, and the temperature difference between morning and night is quite large. You have to keep warm."

"Okay, I'll go upstairs first." After saying that, Chen Xiaolin went upstairs.

The lights were on on the second floor, but it was quiet. The door of the room where Li Zhen lived was closed, and there was no movement from inside. Chen Xiaolin went back to her room, got some clothes to put on, then came out and went to the public bathroom on the second floor.

Even though the old wooden building had been renovated, it still made quite a lot of noise when walked on. She walked back and forth several times, but there was still no noise from Li Zhen's room.

Chen Xiaolin went downstairs to the front desk and asked, "Excuse me, do you have anything to repel mosquitoes?"

The receptionist said, "We have mosquito coils. I'll go light them for you."

"No, just give it to me."

The front desk took a mosquito coil and gave her a lighter.

Chen Xiaolin thanked him and took it, and asked, "I wonder if my colleague has come down to get the mosquito coils? Otherwise, I'll get him another lighter."

Receptionist: "Are you talking about the person who lives next door to you? Sorry, I'm here for the night shift and I haven't seen him yet."

Chen Xiaolin asked, "Isn't he upstairs?"

Receptionist: "He shouldn't be here. I didn't see him going up or down the stairs."

"Thank you. I'll call him then."

Chen Xiaolin took the mosquito coils and went upstairs. She looked at the mosquito coils in her hand and knocked on Li Zhen's door. No one responded, so it seemed that no one was there.

She returned to the room and placed the mosquito coils and lighter on the table. She stared at the mosquito coils for a while, then took out her cell phone and called Li Zhen.

But no one answered.

Chen Xiaolin stood with her back against the back of the chair for a long time, put down her cell phone, pulled out her suitcase, hesitated for a long time between a suspender nightgown and a set of buttoned pajamas, and finally picked up the soft suspender nightgown and a set of lace underwear.

At this time, footsteps were heard on the wooden stairs. Chen Xiaolin immediately stood up and walked out. Then she met the receptionist who came upstairs. She was slightly stunned.

The front desk clerk said enthusiastically: "Hello, I'm here to tell you that the toilet and bathroom on the second floor are shared, and the water heater is electric. If you feel that the water is not hot enough for bathing, you can adjust the temperature yourself."''

"I understand, thank you."

"Then call me anytime if you need anything. I'll go down first."

"Okay." After watching the receptionist turn back down before reaching the second floor, Chen Xiaolin took a deep breath and returned to her room. She stood there for a while, picked up her nightgown and underwear, and walked to the public bathroom on the second floor. When she reached the bathroom door, she thought for a while, then returned to the room with her things and closed the door.

She sat in front of the window, looking at the dark night outside the screen, listening to the chirping of insects coming from the overly quiet night. The cell phone on the table suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up, and when she saw that the caller ID was Minister Zhou, she put the phone down angrily and let it ring for a long time before answering it.

Zhou Shuheng's worried voice came from the receiver: "Xiaolin, why haven't you come yet?"

"I'm a little tired from catching the plane today. I don't really want to go over there. You guys go have fun."

"You're not feeling unwell, are you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Minister. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

Zhou Shuheng asked several more times with concern before finally hanging up the phone. After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaolin leaned back on the table and looked at her phone. So many people asked her to come over to play, so many people asked her if she was okay, but there was no response to her calls.

She just... wanted to give him a mosquito coil.

After seeing Zhou Shuheng explaining himself to his colleagues in the WeChat group, Chen Xiaolin put her phone on the desk and stopped paying attention to WeChat.

She didn't know how long it had been, but in a daze, she heard footsteps coming from the wooden stairs again. Even the footsteps going upstairs were messy... Could it be that Mr. Li came back drunk?

Chen Xiaolin immediately stood up from her chair and walked quickly to the door.
