That day, under the guidance of Jin Sichen, Lin Fan bought a lot of things that she had never paid much attention to before, but when she put them up at home, they would indeed increase the beauty of the room.
Life is not only about practical things, but also about things that make people happy.
At the same time, I also get to experience the pleasure of buying whatever I want without having to worry about the money.
It’s better to be rich! Lin Fan was glad for his original choice.
In the next few days, John Woo took her to North Bund to look for a house, but Jin Sichen had something to do and did not accompany them.
But a house is not a scented candle. It will take more than a few days to find a suitable and satisfactory one.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Lin Fan had a reunion breakfast in the cafeteria of the Special Affairs Office with John Woo, Jin Sichen, and Wang Fengfeng who had heard the news. Then John Woo took him to the high-speed rail station.
Last year, Jiangsu Province vigorously developed railway projects. It happened that the high-speed rail from Gaohe to other places stopped at Gaocheng, which facilitated Lin Fan's travel.
After getting off the high-speed rail, I took a taxi back directly.
The driver wanted to take a detour, but when Lin Fan discovered this, he simply turned on the navigation on his phone.
Under the high-pitched voice of the human voice, the driver quietly drove back to the shortest route. When it came time to settle the bill, he took the initiative to reduce the bill by twenty yuan and asked Lin Fan not to report him.
This is life...
Lin Fan didn't want to bother with such trivial matters, so he went upstairs with his small bag.
Because it was only a 7-day vacation and the weather was cold, she didn't bring much luggage back.
Besides my small carry-on bag, I only had a small duffel bag, the one I bought at Guang'an Mall last year.
The bag contained two sets of spare underwear and a newly bought rabbit fur home clothes, which she planned to wear as pajamas.
She was wearing the short down jacket she'd just bought at the mall that day. It had a bud-shaped silhouette and was hip-hugging, revealing her long legs wrapped in straight-leg jeans. She was wearing a pair of white brand-name sneakers.
With a young face, youthful vitality is overwhelming.
Wearing new clothes from head to toe is in line with the New Year's atmosphere.
If you still need something, just buy it now. The mall is open all year round, so it's convenient.
Lin Fan stopped in front of his home. After a moment's deliberation and mental preparation, he knocked on the door.
"Here I come!" Lin's father's voice came from the door.
As the vermilion door opened, the fragrance and heat hit us in the face.
"Dad!" Lin Fan called out from outside the door with a smile, but Dad Lin was stunned.
This is his daughter, for sure...but...something doesn't seem right...
Dad Lin held the door handle in a daze.
Mother Lin came out of the kitchen with the dishes and saw him holding the door open. She rushed over and pushed it open, "Why did you keep the door open? You let the heating go. When Xiaofan comes back later..."
Lin's father's chubby figure moved away from the door, and Lin Fan's figure appeared outside the door.
Lin Fan pursed his lips, put on a smile again, and called out, "Mom."
"Hey, hey, Xiaofan..." Lin's mother was just getting a little excited when she suddenly realized something was wrong. She widened her eyes and shouted, "You had plastic surgery?!"
The sound scared Lin Fan so much that he couldn't keep the smile on his face. He quickly went into the house and quickly closed the door.
"Why plastic surgery? I don't have the time." Lin Fan knew why her mother would sigh like that, but she could only hide it.
Mother Lin circled around Lin Fan twice, then leaned in to examine her face more closely. "This...this isn't plastic surgery, how could she look younger? And more beautiful?"
"...Maybe it's because everything has been going well for me lately, I'm in a good mood, and I feel young." Lin Fan even made up the advertising slogan.
"Really?" Mother Lin touched her face in confusion.
Is it because she is always in a bad mood that she looks older?
"Oh, what's burning in the pot in the kitchen?" Dad Lin suddenly shouted.
Mother Lin was startled and rushed into the kitchen.
Seeing her frantically trying to save the food in the pot, Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so hard to lie.
Father Lin approached cautiously and asked quietly, "Is it because of your latest research product?"
Lin Fan was stunned, then remembered the excuse he made to his father last year and nodded.
It wasn't wrong to say that Xingchen was her latest new product. It was indeed Xingchen that made her younger. In a way, she hadn't lied to Lin's father.
"Why didn't Xiao Song and the others protect you this time?" Dad Lin looked in the direction of Mom Lin, like an underground party member making contact, and leaned his head slightly closer to Lin Fan, and said in a low voice.
Uh… Lin Fan's mind was in a mess, and he continued to make up stories: "The research and development has been completed in stages and handed over to others. Their mission objectives have also shifted."
Father Lin gave Lin Fan an "I understand" look, then suddenly regained his normal voice and said naturally, "Xiao Fan, you must be tired from the journey. Put down your luggage and take a rest."
Lin Fan watched his father switch so naturally and suspected that he either had a natural talent for acting or did this kind of thing often.
Seeing that Mother Lin was about to come out of the kitchen, he didn't have time to think about it and quickly went back to his room, trying to hide for as long as he could.
Fortunately, the hustle and bustle gave Lin Ma an opportunity to interrupt.
When she brought up the topic again during dinner, Lin Fan had already thought of an excuse, saying that it might be the effect of some high-end cosmetics she had been using recently.
Lin's mother had often seen that brand on TV and knew it was expensive. Plus, Lin's father was interrupting and brainwashing her.
In the end, when Lin Fan promised to give her a set of skin care products that could "rejuvenate" her, she scolded her for being wasteful but also smiled happily.
In short, the idea of becoming younger has finally been approved by my parents.
"Xiao Fan, why didn't Xiao Song come back with you this year?" After dinner, Mother Lin brought a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of Lin Fan.
"He probably doesn't have any leave this year," Lin Fan said rudely, poking a piece of meat with a toothpick. "Even if he does, he'll have to go home. How could he possibly come back with me?"
"Is that so..." Mother Lin was a little disappointed. She glanced at Lin Fan, who seemed to be in a good mood, and asked again, "So how has your relationship been this past year?"
"Relationship? What kind of relationship? Colleagues? Very good." Lin Fan knew that Lin's mother had fallen into her old habit again, so he deliberately laughed it off with her.
"You kid!" Lin's mother was very disappointed. "Xiao Song is already in good condition. If I were forty years younger, what would you do?"
Lin Fan nearly poked his nose with the fruit. "You like Song Ren so much?"
"Of your four colleagues, one is married, two are too young, but Song Ren is the perfect match in every way. He's handsome and treats you well. What's there to be picky about?"
Lin Fan was speechless.
What Lin's mother said was actually true. If she were still the ordinary Lin Fan, she would probably be moved without hesitation, right?
But if she was still the ordinary Lin Fan, she wouldn't have met Song Ren...
She knew full well that she held a star within her, a giant steel beast that no existing science could explain.
In the future, there is probably only one way to go, which is to contribute to the country. Dating and getting married? Who would be delayed?
But I can't say this to Lin's mother.
Lin Fan's brain raced, and he came up with a good excuse. "I think his house is too cold. We're in Harbin, the Ice City. Have you heard of it? The kind where you can freeze even if you pee outside."
"You're just talking nonsense!" Lin's mother spat, then thought seriously again, "But Harbin is a bit far. If I get married in the future, it will be inconvenient to go back to my parents' home during the New Year..."
When Lin Fan saw this, he quickly hid back in his room.
At this moment, the phone rang. It was John Woo video-calling her, probably asking if she had arrived.
"Hey, Lin Fan, are you home?" In fact, John Woo judged from the situation in the camera that Lin Fan had already arrived home, but he still had to ask.
"We're here. It's been a while. I forgot to tell you. Sorry." Lin Fan apologized.
She had no intention of letting Wu Yusen know that she was safe. However, thinking that Wu Yusen would take her with him in the future, she reminded herself to let him know if anything happened.
"Nothing, I just asked. I'm glad you're home," Wu Yusen said with a smile. "Then you should rest well at home and have a happy New Year. I won't disturb you for now, I'm hanging up."
Lin Fan smiled and before he could reply, Lin Ma's head appeared in the camera.
"Hey, who is this guy?"
I just realized it’s Chinese New Year! What a coincidence, writing about Chinese New Year, wow, haha, I’m such a genius.
Lin's mother discovered John Woo, haha. Can you imagine Lin's mother's expression at that time?
