This...

Lin Xian put down his fork and picked up his wine glass for a tactical drink.

Is this the strength of those who've returned from overseas?

Is the direct offensive this intense?

Lin Xian was finding it a little hard to handle.

It must be said that Tang Xin was indeed a very open and straightforward girl. She would generously say whatever she thought, without beating around the bush or being coy.

She indeed had a special fondness for him and was not stingy in expressing it directly.

Her situation was similar to Zhou Duanyun's, and like many others... everyone still had vivid memories of many things they experienced during adolescence, which could even be described as unforgettable.

Just as Zhou Duanyun said, all his current efforts were only to make up for his inferiority complex in high school.

As for Tang Xin, Lin Xian's unintentional act of helping others in high school was a long river that she could not cross in her entire adolescence. Even after several years, she still looked back at it repeatedly, unable to forget it.

This was probably the so-called "white moonlight" effect, right?

Lin Xian never thought... that he would one day become someone else's white moonlight.

"We were classmates, so helping each other is only natural."

Lin Xian put down his wine glass and looked at Tang Xin with a smile:

"It was like this before, and it's still the same now. You've just come to Donghai City and aren't familiar with the place. Don't stand on ceremony if you need any help. You can come to me or Gao Yang for anything, and we'll do our best to help you."

"Hehe, I'm relieved to hear you say that."

Tang Xin straightened her back with a smile and continued to pick up her knife and fork to taste the delicacies on her plate:

"As you said, I really don't have any friends or relatives in Donghai... and even after being abroad for so long, I'm not very adapted to many things in China."

"Fortunately, my colleagues are very kind and caring to me. They not only helped me take care of things like housing, but also take great care of me usually."

"So what do you usually do?" Lin Xian asked casually:

"For example... when you're not busy with work, or after get off work, what do you do for leisure?"

"A colleague heard that my violin skills were good, so they introduced me to the Donghai City Symphony Orchestra, which happened to be short of a few violinists."

Tang Xin took a bite of salad and looked at Lin Xian, saying:

"I've been learning the violin since I was a child, and I was also in the school symphony orchestra when I was studying abroad... so the audition at the Donghai City Symphony Orchestra went very smoothly. Plus, they were indeed short of people during this period, so they directly let me join the formal rehearsals."

"So usually when I have free time, I practice the violin and then go to the orchestra to participate in rehearsals, etc. I really like music, and playing the violin really makes me happy."

"I see."

Lin Xian nodded:

"You're really multi-talented. Since you can enter the Donghai City Symphony Orchestra, it means your violin skills are indeed quite good."

"Hehe, I won't be modest about that," Tang Xin said with a smile:

"If you like to listen... I can find a chance to play for you. I'm very confident in my violin!"

"Okay, if there's a chance," Lin Xian said politely.

……

This dinner ended very pleasantly.

Because it was still early, Tang Xin suggested going for a walk along the nearby riverbank. Lin Xian readily agreed, and the two of them strolled along the Huangpu River for an hour, chatting about many past events and interesting things. Then, Lin Xian took a taxi to send Tang Xin home.

"Bye-bye, Lin Xian, see you later!"

Tang Xin waved to Lin Xian after getting out of the car.

"Bye-bye."

Not long after returning home, Gao Yang's gossipy phone call came, asking all sorts of questions, and then nodded in approval:

"I agree to this marriage."

"Agree to my ass!" Lin Xian was really speechless.

"What? Are you not satisfied with Tang Xin?" Gao Yang was very unconvinced:

"Tang Xin has the figure, the looks,

and a great personality. Most importantly, she has always been consistent and unforgettable to you! I'm asking you, where can you find such a good girl?"

"That's true..." Lin Xian scratched his head, pulled open the curtains of the bedroom, and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

Tang Xin was indeed very good in all aspects.

She was very much like a fusion of Zhao Yingjun and Chu Anqing, with both Zhao Yingjun's beautiful temperament and Chu Anqing's sweetness and cuteness. She was indeed uniquely blessed.

But good as she was, Lin Xian had never thought about their relationship in that way.

"You can think about it in that way," Gao Yang said on the phone:

"You're not kids anymore. Love between men and women is too normal, and Tang Xin is already being so proactive towards you... almost showing her cards. If you don't give a clear answer, isn't it a bit too impolite?"

"It is a bit."

Lin Xian thought so too.

When it came to love, if you want to be in a relationship, then be in one. If not, then reject the other person directly, and don't give them meaningless fantasies. That's the polite thing to do.

But he was also in a dilemma now.

Although he felt that Tang Xin was very good, he didn't have that kind of feeling of love for Tang Xin at the moment.

After all, it was true that Tang Xin had been thinking about Lin Xian for six or seven years... but for Lin Xian, this was only their second meeting in his life.

As for the things that happened in high school, he had forgotten all about them, so naturally they didn't count.

Therefore, having only met twice and not knowing each other well, there was no love to speak of.

Moreover, there was another concern.

According to Huang Que, his cat-and-mouse game had already begun.

Then, without a doubt, he was now in a certain danger, with unknown enemies and unknown purposes. In addition, he still had many things to do, so Lin Xian had no time to consider things like being in a relationship.

"And there are still things in the dream to deal with."

Thinking of the New Donghai City where he had lost his life, Lin Xian felt a headache. He had been busy recently and hadn't had a midday dream to find CC in a long time.

Since Tyme Bank was not too far from their infiltration point, it was still necessary to go there as soon as possible.

The next day.

After dealing with the backlog of work in the morning, Lin Xian hurriedly ate lunch and went home.

He lay on the bed.

He entered the dream smoothly.

In the dream, he followed the previous procedure, first going to the forest in Li Cheng's backyard to find CC, persuading her to return to Old Donghai with him, joining the Face Gang, persuading Li Cheng to give him a human ladder, and then hiding in the garbage truck, successfully infiltrating New Donghai City...

……

"There's still a lot of blood on the clothes."

At this time.

Lin Xian and CC had already assassinated the two inspectors at the checkpoint and were changing into their uniforms.

Even though Lin Xian was much more careful this time when slitting throats, he still couldn't avoid a lot of blood splashing on the uniform, making it sticky.

"There's no way around it, you can't avoid it when slitting throats."

On the other side of the garbage truck, CC had already changed into the female inspector's uniform and inserted the pistol into her waist.

"Then this is indeed a bit too ostentatious, it's only a matter of time before we're discovered."

Lin Xian supported his chin and began to think.

He had discovered when he escaped on the flying motorcycle that day that the area near Tyme Bank was very lively, with a large flow of people and vehicles. If the two of them swaggered through the city wearing these bloody clothes, they would definitely be exposed.

Moreover, the security and alert system of New Donghai City was a bit stricter than he had thought. There were patrolling mechanical dogs and patrolling personnel in many places... Having finally entered the dream once, Lin Xian didn't want to be shot out of the dream halfway like last time.

At least he had to try the password at Tyme Bank.

He turned his head.

Looking at the row of garbage trucks parked neatly in the yard:

"I've got it! Why don't we continue to hide in the garbage truck?"

Lin Xian looked at CC

:

"The garbage truck's pre-set route is to go to Tyme Bank, it only stopped here temporarily for inspection before entering the city. So we just need to find the switch, or the corresponding release program, and let the garbage trucks continue to operate."

"Then we can continue to hide in the garbage truck and hitch a ride, and we can directly reach Tyme Bank without any risk."

CC nodded:

"Indeed, it shouldn't be difficult, I'll go look at their computer."

With that, she walked towards the control room.
