Lin Shiyu's Worries

"Oh, Sister Lin, leaving work?"

Li Yang turned his head and saw Lin Shiyu, dressed in a professional suit like a city woman, walking up behind him. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he waved, "You're finishing work so late today. It's already half past ten and you're just getting to the complex."

"Ugh, I ran into something after work and had to deal with it. I'm used to it. But you, is that Audi A6 your new car?"

Lin Shiyu shook her head, not wanting to dwell on the fact that she finished late. Instead, her eyes sparkled as she looked at the new car Li Yang had parked in the parking spot and couldn't help but ask.

Li Yang's resignation today was actually very sudden for her and many people in the company, carrying a subtle shock.

Many people, including Lin Shiyu, couldn't quite understand why Li Yang resigned when he was doing so well.

Now seeing this car, Lin Shiyu naturally couldn't help but make connections in this direction, a strange feeling of wealth arriving so quickly in her heart.

"Yeah, I just picked it up and drove two loops in the suburbs. I haven't had time to come home yet."

Li Yang rattled the car keys and replied with a smile, "Sister Lin, whenever you're free, I'll take you for a spin. It's a brand new car I just bought."

"Okay, okay, but where did you get so much money? This is an Audi A6! If I manage to save five thousand a month, I'd have to save for at least eight years to buy one. How did you suddenly get a car?"

Lin Shiyu nodded repeatedly, then looked at the shiny new body and Li Yang's expensive-looking clothes, a glimmer appearing in her eyes.

"Actually, it's not sudden. For the past month, I've been preparing for this. Today is just the result."

Li Yang's smile deepened. He looked at the female boss he had worked with for a year, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind. He opened his mouth and blurted out, "Are you having a late-night snack, Sister Lin? If you haven't eaten, I'll treat you. I just finished dinner and I'm a little hungry now."

"Okay, okay, I was so busy today I haven't even had dinner yet. If you want to eat, let's go together."

Lin Shiyu looked at Li Yang and nodded with a smile, "Today, Sister Lin is going to fleece Little Li, the rich one."

"Hahaha, what's that? Let's go, let's go, what do you want to eat? Do you want to drink? If we drink, I won't drive."

Li Yang laughed heartily, looking at Lin Shiyu's hip-hugging skirt, his eyes flickered. He touched his stomach, feeling hungry, and waved his hand dismissively. He was about to walk towards the new car, then remembered that there would be more people having skewers at this time and asked Lin Shiyu.

"Hmm, let's have some drinks. Let's drive there. We can call a designated driver to come back. Sister Lin, I've never ridden in such a nice car before."

Lin Shiyu stomped her foot, looking at Li Yang's new car, and said eagerly.

"Aren't you exaggerating? Sister Lin, your ex-husband is a local. He can't even afford an Audi A6?"

Li Yang nodded, asking somewhat casually. He turned his head, unlocked the car, and got in with Lin Shiyu, asking as they got in, "Where should we eat?"

"Ugh, I'll tell you about those things when we go eat. Let's go to East Street for grilled skewers. It's been a long time since I've had a good grilled skewer feast."

Lin Shiyu followed Li Yang in a few smiling steps to the passenger seat. After sitting down, she tilted her head and said to Li Yang in the driver's seat, her eyes looking a bit downcast.

"Okay, then let's go to East Street."

East Street was a pretty good snack street nearby. Li Yang thought to himself that it had been a long time since he had been this relaxed, so he nodded without hesitation, then started the car and drove the somewhat inexplicably restless Lin Shiyu towards this decent snack street.

Along the way, Lin Shiyu chatted with Li Yang while looking at the brand new interior of the car and smelling the somewhat pungent new car smell. She didn't know what she was thinking of, but her eyes were a little hazy.

Seeing her like this, Li Yang suddenly realized... she had a story to tell.

It's good to tell stories. People who tell stories usually drink. Once you drink...

Li Yang's smile was gentle, and his anticipation for the late-night snack grew stronger.

It didn't take long to arrive. Suddenly, various night market signs were brightly lit, and stylishly dressed men and women were everywhere, coming and going, as if it wasn't late at night, but a bustling shopping mall in the daytime.

Li Yang parked the car about a hundred meters away from the snack street, got out, and walked into the snack street with a smiling Lin Shiyu. In an instant, the atmosphere of human life late at night rushed over them.

"Boss, twenty lamb skewers, twenty beef skewers, and a case of iced beer."

The two went to a barbecue restaurant together. Li Yang ordered the basics first, then let Lin Shiyu order whatever she wanted. Lin Shiyu smiled and ordered some grilled squid, and after asking for Li Yang's opinion, ordered a pound of crawfish, then ordered a few chicken gizzards and grilled mantou before stopping.

Li Yang had already scanned the QR code and paid directly after ordering. Then he and Lin Shiyu found a table and waited for the food.

For some reason, Lin Shiyu was quite excited. She had been actively talking to Li Yang non-stop since they left and still hadn't stopped.

However, Li Yang had just gotten his opportunity and was also in a fluctuating mood, so he didn't mind having someone to be restless with him.

And although Lin Shiyu had eaten with him before, she had never been so open and talked so much. Coupled with her usual attitude at work, now that she had suddenly resigned and he was interacting with her with a different mindset, hearing her talk so excitedly back and forth was quite a different experience.

It took over twenty minutes for the things they ordered to arrive, which was not slow compared to the usual half-hour wait at the night market. After checking the bill, the boss went to attend to customers at other tables, leaving Li Yang and Lin Shiyu to chat freely around the small table.

"Come on, Sister Lin, eat first. Let's eat, drink, and chat while we eat."

Li Yang picked up the beef and lamb skewers and motioned to Lin Shiyu. Lin Shiyu smiled, showing her teeth, put on disposable gloves, and grabbed the crawfish. "I want to eat crawfish first. Let me tell you, this pound of crawfish might not be enough for me alone. If you want to eat, hurry up. If you're late, there won't be any left."

"I'm not interested in this stuff. You eat it yourself."

Li Yang laughed heartily and took a bite of the lamb skewer with satisfaction. Lin Shiyu peeled the shrimp and chatted with Li Yang. After taking a couple of bites, they raised their glasses together.

"Life is not easy. Cheers to the days we worked together."

Lin Shiyu wiped the seasoning from her mouth, raised her disposable cup, clinked it with Li Yang's, and then tilted her head back and drank.

Li Yang followed suit, finished drinking, and continued eating skewers. Lin Shiyu ate crawfish and continued chatting about random things.

They chatted, ate, and drank. By the time they finished the crawfish, they had unknowingly each drunk four or five bottles. Li Yang was a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen Lin Shiyu drink so fiercely.

"Li Yang, you don't know how tiring my life used to be. I couldn't even scrape together five hundred yuan for pocket money every month..."

Perhaps because she drank too much, Lin Shiyu's face was flushed, and she started talking more, beginning to pour out the things she had been suppressing in her heart to Li Yang.

Li Yang gradually understood, and his gaze towards Lin Shiyu was a little strange. His eyes lingered on the waves on her chest for a moment, then quickly retracted.

But some strange thoughts couldn't help but pop up.

Lin Shiyu's ex-husband was a full ten years older than her. The reason she was willing to marry him was because he had a house in the local area, and after drifting in Linhai City for so many years, her biggest obsession was to settle down here.

But contrary to her wishes, Lin Shiyu, who had grit her teeth and married, soon discovered that her ex-husband only had what appeared on the surface with the house...
