Chapter 74: express ideas
The next morning, Lin Ning woke up with a smile on her face.
When a person has a happy event, he is in good spirits. He has no daily expenses, and the food and clothing expenses are not too wasteful, so once he accumulates money to buy what he wants, he will be very happy. And the various procedures in the interstellar era are also very convenient and fast, which makes him happy both physically and mentally.
Apart from estimating that she and Li Chengyan will spend less time together in the future, Lin Ning is quite satisfied with her current living conditions.
The morning was bright outside the window. Lin Ning walked to the window sill to take care of the potted plants and plants she maintained. She was even more happy when she saw that they were growing well, and took care of the leaves and soil of the roses. There was some noise in the yard. He looked down and saw the housekeeper, Uncle Chang, urging several servants to isolate a piece of ground. There were even people loosening the soil, not knowing what they were doing.
Lin Ning: ?
He stood up and waved at Uncle Chang, and asked, "Uncle Chang, what are you doing here in isolation?"
Only then did the housekeeper notice Lin Ning, he raised his head with a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed a bit of concern: "Young Master Lin, this is an area that His Highness the Marshal entrusted me to open up specifically for you to grow flowers and plants. The yard of the Marshal's Mansion is not small, and it's really deserted if you think about it. If Young Master Lin has a leisurely mood, he can plant some flowers and trees he likes in the mansion."
After Lin Ning heard this, her heart was slightly touched. He looked at the place that was opened up, occupying a lot of space in the mansion. He never thought that he could plant something in the Marshal's Mansion. After all, the Marshal's Mansion is not his home. For now, he is just a guest here. Although he sometimes looks at the wide open space of the Marshal's Mansion, he can't bear it. Zhu wanted to take care of the yard himself, but politely told him not to.
If you can plant some delicate and beautiful flowers and trees in the whole yard, then you will feel comfortable and happy, and you will never appear too calm and quiet.
Since Li Chengyan has personally promised, Lin Ning plans to remodel the place and create a beautiful small garden. Just do it. After breakfast, Lin Ning went downstairs with seeds and various equipment. This time, he didn't plan to use his supernatural powers to give birth to plants in an instant. He wanted to watch the whole process of the flowers, plants and trees that he planted by himself breaking out of the ground and growing into the sun.
The housekeeper also followed Lin Ning to work there. In fact, he was very much looking forward to the future of the Marshal's Mansion. He had seen the roses that Young Master Lin took care of. If the entire Marshal's Mansion is like this, it will add a bit of vitality to this deserted and solemn Marshal's Mansion for a hundred years.
In the scorching sun at noon, after Lin Ning finished the work at hand, he prepared a few glasses of iced watermelon juice for the servants in the Marshal's Mansion to drink, and he himself received news from the director team of "The Road to Food" - the second phase of the show will be Ready to record. It seems that not only has Li Chengyan been away from home for a long time recently, but he is also staying as the crew leader during the day.
Lin Ning raised her eyebrows, wrote down this incident in her heart, and then began to pay attention to the current situation of the Luo family. Since the Luo family started to have frequent accidents, Lin Ning has continued to pay attention to the affairs of the Luo family and the marshal. Although he does not know much about this kind of military and political issues, after all, they are all related to him, and there are also some people who are concerned about it. .
There are news reports on the Internet that all the political personnel of the Luo family are under investigation at the moment, which may be related to the interstellar transition accident in the spacecraft where Major General Lin Rou was in. Lin Ning stared at the news for a long time, the pain buried deep in his memory was like a toxin eroding his nerves, and he quickly fell into a strong negative emotion.
The intense grief belonging to the original owner swept over, Lin Ning covered her chest in pain, and did not understand why she was still strongly affected by the original owner's emotions after so long. He just knew that there was a sore pain in his chest, which flowed to every corner of his body along his limbs, and his red eyes stared at the relevant reports of the Luo family.
Could it be that this is the second wish of the original owner?
The original owner probably didn't know that the Luo family had anything to do with Lin Rou's accident before he died, and thought it was a simple accident. Therefore, Lin Ning's eyes were all on how to clean up Jiang Feng. Now, looking at it, there is still a deep obsession here, which has become more and more painful as time goes by.
Lin Ning thought: Since the original owner's obsession has not disappeared, then he, a transmigrator with a white body, will naturally open his eyes to see the truth of the past, and he will live up to this time. Since he disappeared in a jump accident, Major General Lin Rou naturally has no bones left. Thinking of this place is getting heavier and heavier, he has to find a time to go to the place where Major General Lin Rou slept and pay homage...
A few days passed in a flash, and Lin Ning resumed the life of being picked up by the bodyguards and sent to and from the Marshal's Mansion and the crew every day. Although there are many people who want to know about him and His Royal Highness gossip, it is a pity that His Royal Highness is too deterrent, and the exhibition is very protective. Even if Lin Ning looks as gentle as a delicate and fragile porcelain, there is no one Dare to eat melon and eat the main body.
Lin Ning is constantly following the latest investigation news of the Luo family. Unfortunately, the investigation is a state secret, and it is impossible to make it public until the investigation is clear. Lin Ning has also become one of the thousands of netizens who pay attention to Major General Lin Rou's accident. Even when she is on the set, she is waiting for a good turn every day. It's a pity that the Luo family hid very deeply, and the investigation team was not always so smooth in collecting evidence, which made netizens wait anxiously and uneasy.
Time passed by day by day, and as the crew became more familiar, the shooting progress accelerated. Every day, Lin Ning was watched by countless crew members with or without attention. In particular, Zhang Yiming always treats him differently from ordinary people, and he always takes care of him, whether intentional or not, which makes him even more noticeable in the crew.
in the lounge.
Lin Ning opened the lunch box. Today's lunch is dumplings with three fresh fillings. The skin is thin and the filling is tender, round and plump. It is very cute. He handed one portion to Zhang Yiming, then opened the prepared dipping sauce, picked up a small dumpling from his portion, and started eating. The heat preservation effect of the food box is particularly good, it is still very hot after a light bite, the fillings are delicious, and the soup is mellow. Lin Ning was in a good mood after eating, she narrowed her eyes and began to eat quickly.
Zhang Yiming then picked up the dumplings and started to eat. He looked at Lin Ning while eating, and seemed to be attracted by Lin Ning. His eyes were warm and gentle, and he smiled very softly, but because his face was always half-smile, it made Lin Ning feel very strange.
Lin Ning stopped her chopsticks and asked suspiciously, "...Is there flowers on my face?"
Zhang Yiming nodded and smiled more warmly: "Yes."
Lin Ning: "..."
Zhang Yiming saw Lin Ning bowing his head to eat by himself, hooked his lips, and asked, "The latest batch of plants is ready to go on the market recently, did you know?"
Lin Ning nodded.
"At that time, all kinds of kitchen utensils will definitely be popular on the market. At present, major nutrient manufacturers have listed kitchen utensils as new products, triggering a new shopping trend." Zhang Yiming continued, "It's very famous here, if you really want to Seize the opportunity and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money, there are countless manufacturers who want to cooperate with you, and you have never been tempted.”
Lin Ning explained: "...Not interested."
Zhang Yiming raised his eyebrows, puzzled: "?"
Lin Ning continued: "I'm not too greedy, I have achieved my goal, and the salted fish has turned around. After the Luo family has learned the lesson, I will continue to study food with peace of mind. In other words, you shouldn't forget what I am now. The goal, I really have little interest in other things, even if it is to make money, it is just to give me material conditions."
Zhang Yiming leaned on the sofa and said, "...That's true. If you don't bring it with you in life, you don't bring it with you in death. I didn't expect it to be as transparent as you think."
Lin Ning continued to push the boat along the river: "That's right, after all, he's a person who died once."
His words naturally refer to the suicide, which can also be used to explain the reasons for the change in personality before and after. The reason why he can see it now is because he has suddenly traveled through, and no matter how little assets he has when he is on Earth, he can't bring it with him, so he is currently in a relatively calm state of mind. If he somehow crosses over after a while, his money will be in vain... and if he wears it again, he will not agree. After all, it is the first time in his life that he has found someone who wants to be with him for the rest of his life.
Probably not...
Lin Ning put down her chopsticks with some anxiety, and asked the system: [System, will I travel again? 】
System: [No, I am the food system. After you complete the task in this world, I will disappear and continue to find other hosts to go to other worlds to complete the task. 】
Lin Ning nodded unconsciously, the old faces of her parents flashed across her mind, and she continued to ask: [Then do I still have a chance to go home? 】
The system sighed: [Impossible, but what I can tell you is that our time-travel bureau is based on the principle of humanization, and we will properly arrange the aftermath of the people who cross-travel... Uh no, I mean that after you wear it here, You are not dead. I spent a lot of Faith to exchange the souls of you and the original owner, so the original owner is currently with your parents. Your parents are very kind, and the original owner will definitely treat them well. 】
Lin Ning opened her mouth in shock when she heard this. Obviously, this was the first time he knew about this. He always thought he was dead in that world, and he always avoided thinking about the pain of his parents who sent the black-haired man to the white-haired man. He didn't expect things to turn around. , even if he changed a core in his body, as long as he could accompany his parents and make them happy, he would be very grateful.
Thinking of this, the big stone that had been heavy in his heart was finally put down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Lin Ning seemed to be thinking about something very important, Zhang Yiming stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lin Ning, and asked with a chuckle, "What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
Lin Ning calmed down, the corners of his eyes and brows were unconsciously stained with a shallow smile, he began to clean up his tableware, and replied: "Well... just remembered a little thing from the past."
When Zhang Yiming watched Lin Ning pack the lunch box, there were still a few dumplings left in it. He looked at his empty lunch box, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you going to do with those dumplings?"
Lin Ning looked at the dumplings that didn't touch the chopsticks, then looked at the handsome man who smiled gracefully in front of her, then looked at the empty lunch box, thought for a while, and asked strangely, "...Aren't you full? ?"
Zhang Yiming nodded with a smile, not showing the slightest restraint of being an actor.
Lin Ning: "..." He prepared nearly fifty dumplings for Zhang Yiming. Hey, didn't he just get distracted for a while while eating. When he didn't pay attention, how did Zhang Yiming eat so much? so fast? !
After being shocked, he handed his lunch box to Zhang Yiming, and said with admiration, "I haven't touched these dumplings. If you don't dislike it, I'll trouble you to solve it..."
"Why would I despise you?" Zhang Yiming took it, and Sven ate a few white, tender and round dumplings gracefully. His hands with chopsticks were clearly articulated, he didn't eat in a hurry, and he didn't show any disgust on his face.
Not at all like an Alaskan dog. Lin Ning muttered inwardly.
Thinking of this, Lin Ning was speechless and asked, "You must be full now, right?"
Zhang Yiming showed his furry ears and tail, and the tail was flicked, this gentle and elegant appearance was more like a big black-bellied golden retriever, he looked at Lin Ning, and said word by word: "Although it is not very good to say that. Polite, but I can actually eat a lot. My prototype is much bigger than Li Chengyan, so I can actually eat more than you think, which is why I got sick before."
He pointed to the lunch box and continued: "I can eat three plates of dumplings of this size."
Lin Ning: "?" It's too long. This is not an Alaskan dog, but an Alaskan pig, ORZ! ! ! Xizai can eat so much, and a meal is not so exaggerated! Fortunately, it was Xizai who I picked up at the beginning, otherwise it would be very tiring to cook a meal QAQ...
Zhang Yiming folded Lin Ning's clothes and smiled, "Why, how about a relationship with that paralyzed Li Chengyan, won't it be boring?"
Lin Ning was immersed in shock and did not react, but looked up at him suspiciously.
The gentle and handsome man smiled softly, and gently stroked Lin Ning's soft hair as if he was treating a rare treasure, and a low, hoarse, ambiguous voice slowly sounded in his ears: "Why did you choose to be with him, you don't have one. Did Dingdian like me, but I remember... you were still my fan?"
Lin Ning blinked in shock, and then seemed to react, frowning and whispering: "You don't like me... that kind of thing, right?"
Zhang Yiming was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be pleased by Lin Ning's words. Then he smiled and asked, "Why did you say this?"
Lin Ning took Zhang Yiming's hand on her head: "You probably won't get what you want, and I may be a little special, so you rarely have a little interest. Maybe you like this kind of excitement. It's hard for me to tell, after all, I'm not you, but I think your feelings for me are different from his feelings for me."
After a long silence, Zhang Yiming laughed lightly, looked at the endless sky outside the window and said, "Your intuition is quite accurate."
Lin Ning held her chin and smiled: "Then you dare to confess in public, you don't know the power of gossip. Now everyone knows that your confession was rejected, and then your sweetheart is with His Royal Highness the Marshal. You don't even know that everyone in the crew is private. The discussion is coming, now you and I are in the same room, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring outside.”
Zhang Yiming lit a cigarette indifferently, his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, his eyes darkened slightly, and he just said lightly: "What's the matter, it's not a loss to lose to His Royal Highness the Marshal. Besides, I'm tired of the current state in the future, it seems that it's okay. It seems more interesting to sell a person who is affectionately guarded?"
Threads and strands of light smoke lingered, not choking, but had a nice fragrance. Zhang Yiming let out a breath of smoke and continued: "As for the fact that you and I are in the same room, it doesn't seem to matter."
He pointed to the window, and Lin Ning followed, and found a few heads looking at it.
"..." Lin Ning heard Zhang Yiming say these words in such a plain tone, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Is the life of a rich and noble son so boring, let you try your best to do things hahaha …”
Although he is sometimes deadly insensitive to his feelings, it does not mean that he is not a sensitive person. For him, Zhang Yiming is just a friend at work. The sooner this is clarified, the better. He doesn't like entanglement, he only likes a quiet and comfortable life, and the simpler the emotional matters, the better.
Thinking of this, he misses Li Chengyan a little deeper, and he can't wait to touch Xi Zai's soft and fluffy fur.
