Chapter 217 Girlfriend, Teacher, and Adoptive Mother
"Miss Chrissy!"
Lin Xinyi didn't have time to respond to the lady's soft call.
Officer Memu, who was also at the wedding scene, greeted him warmly:
"So you've already arrived?"
"I'm still wondering why Manager Lin came alone!"
Officer Memu greeted him naturally.
The beautiful lady who was called "Miss Chris" gracefully covered the corners of her mouth and smiled softly in fluent Japanese:
"Haha. It's all my fault that I put on makeup for too long. Shinichi came over by himself."
"I can't help it. This guy is always so straight-tempered and doesn't know how to consider the girl's mood."
As she said that, she gently looked at Lin Xinyi with her soft eyes that were a bit complaining.
To Officer Megure and others, this was just a woman in love expressing her loving dissatisfaction to her boyfriend.
But Lin Xinyi was already feeling a little numb:
He knew that the silver-haired beauty in front of him was obviously not "Miss Chrissy".
And her flawless and sincere eyes were not known to be some kind of artistically processed performance.
But no matter what, Lin Xinyi already knew:
The Miss "Chris" in front of him is his teacher and adoptive mother, the Thousand Faced Witch, Ms. Belmode.
Although Haihara Ai has been calling her an old witch with a cold face, it is undeniable that Belmode looks very young now and is not as mature as Lin Xinyi in appearance.
Playing his girlfriend is just right.
"This is Manager Lin's girlfriend!"
"She is so beautiful. She looks just like a Hollywood star."
Police Inspector Matsumoto also came over and expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Manager Lin, it's true that you have such a beautiful girlfriend, but you never tell her about it."
"So many beautiful girls in our search class thought you were still single and wanted to go to the forensics class to chat with you!"
He patted Lin Xinyi on the shoulder and joked without any malice.
"Haha." Lin Xinyi smiled awkwardly.
However, Belmode walked up to him quietly and took his hand enthusiastically.
She naturally hugged Lin Xinyi's arm in her warm arms, making such a loving and sweet look, and then smiled and said to Matsumoto warily:
"You can't blame Shinichi."
"We fell in love in college, but after graduation, he returned to Japan to pursue his career, while I have remained in the United States."
“It wasn’t until recently that I got around to coming over to see him.”
Belmode said the character he had prepared.
"Oh, that's it," Matsumoto said with a sigh: "It turns out that Miss Chris is a classmate of Manager Lin and an elite member of Columbia University's prestigious school!"
"Haha." Belmode chuckled and winked at Lin Xinyi, with a hint of playfulness in his elegance:
"Not only is he a classmate, I am also his senior sister."
"He didn't understand anything at that time. He always followed me to ask questions and called me sister."
"Yes." Lin Xinyi smiled dryly and agreed: "Chris is my teacher to a certain extent."
He acted with Belmode for a while, and after some chatting and laughing, he finally dealt with the Megure Police Department and Matsumoto Police Department who came up to say hello.
Then, it was time for the two of them to be alone.
"My boy" The corners of Belmode's mouth raised slightly.
Not only has the name been changed, but the temperament has also changed from elegant and enthusiastic to charming and cool:
"The lines are emotionless and the expression is stiff. It's been so long since I last saw you. Your acting skills have deteriorated a bit."
"Are you too excited to see me, teacher?"
After saying that, Belmode actually reached out his hand and gently touched Lin Xinyi's face.
Her movements are very gentle, and when she slowly touches her skin, you can feel the warmth of her palms.
And the deep gaze she looked at Lin Xinyi carried a trace of undetectable joy, a kind of quietly concealed love and pity.
But here lies the tragedy of the actor.
Lin Xinyi is not sure now whether this woman's tenderness towards him is real or staged.
He was just silent for a while.
Then, he blocked Belmode's hand caressing his face, and his face instantly turned cold:
"That's enough, don't touch me."
Lin Xinyi's acting skills are indeed not good, but thanks to the public reports back then, he spent time practicing expression management.
So if he just plays a cold-faced and paralyzed character, he can actually do it very well.
Moreover, this is also the character Lin Xinyi created for himself.
Because he couldn't grasp how the old Lin Xinyi interacted with Belmod in private.
So he simply acted as a cold-faced killer with no emotion because he personally killed his girlfriend's sister and indirectly drove his beloved girlfriend to a dead end. As a result, his mood collapsed and his temperament changed drastically.
From this character point of view, Lin Xinyi can naturally show rejection and indifference towards Belmod, the evil adoptive mother who beats the mandarin ducks.
All in all, what he is playing now is pirated gin.
"Belmod, what are you doing back here?!"
Lin Xinyi simply called his teacher by his first name:
"Are you here to give me psychological counseling? Sorry, I don't need it."
Belmod's face froze, and the tenderness in his eyes turned into confusion and pain, as if he was a little hurt.
But this may still be an act. In short, Lin Xin can't make a point.
After a silent confrontation, this unpredictable woman laughed again:
"What will I do when I come back?"
"When I come back, of course I want to take care of my poor child"
"'Lost in love' is painful, right? It doesn't matter."
Belmod whispered close to Lin Xinyi's ear, breathing out the warm and itchy breath:
"Teacher, I'm back to be your girlfriend. Are you satisfied?"
"That's enough!" Lin Xinyi said with a gloomy face: "I said, I don't need you to come back for psychological counseling."
"I will complete the organizational work well. As for Shirley, she is dead."
His tone was extremely cold, as if he was sending a death notice to an unrelated person.
And what Lin Xinyi tried hard to express is:
I just want to be alone now and don't want to see you, the "culprit".
Anyway, I won't delay the organization's work, so teacher, don't come over to bother me if you have nothing to do, and go back to the United States as soon as possible to do your own work.
This kind of emotional expression, like a child having a temper with a parent, seems to have really had an effect on Belmode.
She stopped her bold movements that were almost teasing, and suppressed the charming smile at the corner of her mouth. She no longer looked like a clingy girlfriend, but instead looked like an old mother who was lamenting and worrying about the parent-child relationship:
"Okay. I knew you would be like this."
"We've had enough fights because of that damn woman."
"I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let you and Shirley go back to Japan to work together."
"This bastard stole my child after all."
As he spoke, the emotion and helplessness in Belmode's eyes completely turned into undisguised hatred.
As if it was not enough for Shirley to die, she had to make up for it herself to satisfy her hatred.
"Don't mention her." Lin Xinyi pretended to be calm and skipped the topic: "I won't be involved in the past."
"Really? You don't even want to mention her name, which means you still care about her very much."
"This woman has a great influence on you."
"You have no respect for me now. You don't even want to call me teacher."
Belmod looked at Lin Xinyi deeply, with sentimentality in his tone:
"It seems that teacher, I still need to stay here to help you get out of the shadow left by that woman."
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi's face turned even darker:
Coming out of the shadows?
How do you get out of the shadows?
In other words, teacher, when can you leave?
Lin Xinyi felt helpless, and Belmode was also very knowledgeable and did not continue to discuss this topic in depth for the time being.
But instead of mentioning Shirley, she somehow mentioned another woman:
"My boy, I heard that you have a very beautiful female student here."
"It's called Mao Lilan, right?"
"Why didn't she come over today?"
Belmode took a moment to look at the lively wedding scene and suddenly asked thoughtfully.
"Huh?" Lin Xinyi's heart suddenly sounded an alarm:
Belmode is so good, why would he take the initiative to ask about Mao Lilan?
Why should she care about this ordinary high school girl?
Could it be that Bellmode noticed Kudo Shinichi’s missing whereabouts?
But Ginjiu didn't pay attention to it herself, so how could she pay attention to such a passerby who was easily dispatched by Ginjiu?
Lin Xinyi was a little nervous and confused, so he asked tentatively:
"Miss Maori should be here later."
"But, teacher, what are you asking her for?"
He immediately changed his title to teacher.
This was mainly to show that he still valued his relationship with Belmod and was not led too far by the "bad woman" Shirley.
When Belmod heard the change in Lin Xinyi's title, his eyes quietly softened.
But when faced with his question, Belmode answered without any sincerity:
"That beautiful Maori lady is so close to you, the scandal even spread in the tabloids."
"As your girlfriend, of course I have to care about you."
Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while.
But Belmod used her unpredictable voice, which sounded like a joke but also said seriously:
"Although I would love to see you forget about that woman and embrace a new relationship."
"But...if the target is that Maori lady, that won't work."
"This" Lin Xinyi became even more puzzled:
He really didn't expect that what Belmode was talking about was not Kudo Shinichi who was related to the organization, but Mao Lilan's own emotional problems.
why is that?
Lin Xinyi simply asked: "Why not?"
"That kind of high school girl is too naive to be a partner for people like us."
"Let her stand under the sun and be her angel."
"If you stay with her, she will delay you."
Belmod's answer still sounded a bit confusing.
But Lin Xinyi vaguely felt that she seemed to really care about Mao Lilan, who theoretically had nothing to do with her.
The phrase "she will delay you" always sounded like the opposite to him.
"This" Lin Xinyi's eyes were full of doubts.
And Belmode didn't seem to want to reveal too much.
When Lin Xinyi tried to ask another question, she, who had always taken the initiative in the conversation, brought up the topic lightly:
"By the way, Gin should have told you, right?"
"One more thing I have to do when I come back this time is to give you a code name myself."
With that said, Belmode quietly took Lin Xinyi's arm.
She turned her attention to the row of tall wine cabinets filled with all kinds of wine beside the wedding venue:
"It just so happens that the wine list here is quite complete."
"My boy, come with me. It's time for you to have a new name."
