After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity
Chapter 434: 429: Unrequited Love... Sudden!Chapter 434: Chapter 429: Unrequited Love… Sudden!
Beijing.
After getting off work, Ouyang Lin joined Chi Boyuan to meet Mr. Chi. They barely had a chance to talk before Ouyang Lin was called back by a call from his unit.
Ouyang Lin’s situation was special; although he had made accomplishments, he had obtained his position in this government system through Mr. Chi’s connections.
Therefore, he came specifically to thank Mr. Chi and to meet with him in person.
People at the unit were not very clear about Ouyang Lin’s situation; they only knew he had gotten in by pulling strings. Otherwise, how could someone like him, with no notable background, be suddenly transferred to such a unit?
The people at the unit had been in contact with Ouyang Lin for a few days but were not yet familiar with him to that extent.
The superior’s tone on the incoming call wasn’t great. After hanging up, Ouyang Lin apologized to Chi Boyuan and hurried to the unit.
Chi Boyuan drove him there, asking along the way what the matter was, but Ouyang Lin was just as clueless.
Chi Boyuan frowned, thinking that someone at the unit was trying to give Ouyang Lin a hard time.
He pondered whether placing Ouyang Lin in such a unit was a good or bad thing for him.
It was Chi Boyuan who had persuaded Ouyang Lin to transfer to Beijing, so he felt responsible.
If the unit targeted Ouyang Lin, he would have to use a different connection.
*
Upon entering the unit, Ouyang Lin was met with the strange stares of his colleagues on the night shift.
Seeing Chi Boyuan following behind him, the colleagues’ eyes widened in surprise.
They had never known whose connections Ouyang Lin had utilized, but seeing Chi Boyuan, it seemed like everything clicked.
“Police Officer Ouyang, the person is inside,” someone came out of the pantry and pointed to Reception Room 2.
The door to Reception Room 2 was half-open, and the person seated inside came into view as they moved forward.
Qin Ding Yue sat pitifully in the corner, head hanging down as she waited.
Ouyang Lin’s colleague nudged his eyebrow towards the room, “Big star!”
Seeing his colleague look at him with that ambiguous gaze, Ouyang Lin’s handsome brow raised, “I don’t know her.”
“Ah?” The colleague let out a brief sound of surprise.
Ouyang Lin walked in.
Chi Boyuan leaned against the door outside, waiting for him to handle the matter.
Qin Ding Yue sensed someone entering, quickly looked up, saw Ouyang Lin’s face, and immediately buried her head again, not daring to look directly.
She was shaking with nervousness.
How did he suddenly come in?
Another person followed inside, telling Ouyang Lin, “This lady said she was looking for you. We’ve already verified, you two sort out your private issues and don’t come sneaking around here trying to pry.”
“…”
Qin Ding Yue wanted to crawl into a crack in the floor.
So embarrassing.
She clearly mentioned Shen Yan’s name, so how did they end up calling Ouyang Lin?
After the others left, Ouyang Lin seriously asked her, “Do we know each other?”
“…” Qin Ding Yue’s heart clenched painfully, feeling a bit sour.
“Do you need something from me?” Ouyang Lin changed his approach, “If it’s a case report, you can speak to my colleague.”
“No, it’s not a case report…” Qin Ding Yue’s voice was as thin as a mosquito’s.
“Then who are you?” Ouyang Lin had been working in such a place for too long, not quite adept at dealing with these situations anymore.
Qin Ding Yue suddenly lifted her head, gathering the courage to meet Ouyang Lin’s eye, “I came specifically to see you, Senior Brother Ouyang.”
Ouyang Lin was taken aback, “You’re my junior sister? Sorry, I don’t remember.”
Qin Ding Yue finished speaking and buried her flushed face in the table, “No, it’s fine, I, we took a photo together, here…” She began searching for her phone, which turned up empty. Her phone was temporarily confiscated, as they wanted to check if it contained any pictures leaking sensitive information.
Ouyang Lin said, “Is there something you need from me, junior sister?”
“Ah?” Qin Ding Yue blinked, she had spoken quite plainly, hadn’t he understood?
Seeing no other expression on Ouyang Lin’s handsome face, Qin Ding Yue suddenly felt very aggrieved.
She had already said she came specifically for him. Usually, when a girl says such things, the other party should understand what it implies.
Ouyang Lin was being sincerely serious at the moment; he genuinely did not grasp the implication of Qin Ding Yue’s words.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll have someone take you home,” since she was a celebrity, as his colleague had said, he had to be mindful in handling the situation.
“I, I…” Qin Ding Yue nervously twisted the hem of her dress, struggling to articulate a complete sentence.
“It’s late now, it’s not safe for a girl to be out,” Ouyang Lin gave a reason to send her home, “If I’m being too forward, I’ll have a female colleague take you.”
He was a man, sending a female star home in the middle of the night, and he might be photographed.
It wouldn’t be good for her reputation, and it would affect their unit as well.
“No, no, are you really driving me home?”
Ouyang Lin nodded hesitantly; he hadn’t expected Qin Dingyue to ask him for a ride, and then he thought of Chi Boyuan outside, hence his hesitation.
Ouyang Lin glanced at the expectant Qin Dingyue and said, “Wait for me a second.”
Qin Dingyue sat in the back of the jeep, somewhat stunned.
Why had it turned out this way?
Ouyang Lin said he would drive her, but in the end, two men were taking her home, and the driver was someone else.
Never mind, never mind, rounding up, it could still count as Ouyang Lin giving her the ride.
Qin Dingyue recovered and quickly introduced herself to Ouyang Lin, and she even started to talk about school with him.
Listening to the incessant chatter of Qin Dingyue from the back seat, Ouyang Lin only responded in a stupefied manner, as the memories of school life had become somewhat blurred, and he had not expected to have a junior sister remember those small campus incidents he experienced.
Chi Boyuan just drove quietly, listening to Qin Dingyue talk about Ouyang Lin’s amusing school stories, finding it quite fresh.
“Senior Brother Ouyang, let’s exchange contact information, I will often come to Beijing!” That was a lie; she hardly ever came to Beijing, but she would try to take jobs here in the future.
Asking for contact details had taken a great deal of courage from Qin Dingyue to voice.
Ouyang Lin seemed to come back to his senses only then and glanced at the girl behind him with a smile in her eyes. Ouyang Lin pursed his lips, seeming to understand something.
“Sorry, I only have a work number, I haven’t registered for anything else.”
Qin Dingyue visibly deflated.
In this day and age, who would only have a work number and not use any other chat tools?
This was obviously an excuse from Ouyang Lin.
Because of his past experiences, Ouyang Lin indeed only had a work number and had not registered for apps like WeChat.
Ouyang Lin didn’t care if Qin Dingyue believed him or not, and after having dropped her off at the designated place, he thought of something and still got out of the car, following the dawdling Qin Dingyue.
Qin Dingyue’s eyes brightened, and she didn’t dawdle anymore.
She pulled out the phone that had stored a photo for many years and handed it to Ouyang Lin who had followed her out: “Senior Brother Ouyang, look, this is our group photo! This is you, and this is me.”
Seeing the youthful image of himself, Ouyang Lin was stunned again, “I’m sorry, I don’t have any memories of that. Miss Qin, I’ll leave you here. Don’t do this sort of thing again in the future, it’s a bit dangerous.”
Qin Dingyue’s smile suddenly froze on her face.
“Senior Brother Ouyang…”
He called her Miss Qin, even though he had called her junior sister before.
Qin Dingyue wanted to cry, but she held back; nothing was more painful than being rejected by someone she had had a crush on for almost ten years.
Ouyang Lin said, “I’m sorry.”
He knew!
He knew what that meant!
Qin Dingyue’s eyes turned red involuntarily, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying: “It’s okay, I’ve troubled you, and I’m truly sorry. It won’t happen again… I hope I haven’t caused you any inconvenience. But Senior Brother Ouyang, you will always be my senior brother.”
Ouyang Lin didn’t say anything else and turned to go back to the car.
“She likes you.”
The car had driven off for a while when Chi Boyuan suddenly spoke.
Ouyang Lin looked out at the night scene and stayed silent.
Chi Boyuan said, “Why not give her a chance, and give yourself a chance to start over?”
Ouyang Lin looked over, “I don’t like her; why would I give her a chance?”
Not liking someone and still giving them a chance, wouldn’t that be hurting them?
Chi Boyuan was stunned for a moment, “You’re very gentle.”
Ouyang Lin pulled a smile, “Am I? People like us, the gentler we are, the more dangerous. Captain Chi, don’t just look on the surface.”
Shen Yan was already in bed when she got a call from Qin Dingyue; she hadn’t even begun to speak when she heard a wailing cry from the other end: “Yanyan, I’ve had a heartbreak! Wuuu! No, it’s not a heartbreak, I haven’t even been in love yet. After pining for so long, I finally mustered the courage to confess, and he rejected me… Wuuu…”
Shen Yan: “… Not every crush ends up with results, you… try to look on the bright side…”
“Whaaa!” Qin Dingyue cried out louder.
Shen Yan was at a loss, scratching her head, “Er… don’t cry, the next one will be better.”
“There won’t be anyone better than him… Wuuu…”
