#515 - Are you two dating?
Wang Lina suddenly turned around and faced Tang Yin, saying, "Don't you want to call the rescue team or the insurance company? If necessary, call home too."
Tang Yin was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Wang Lina was thinking of him.
He was about to speak when Wang Lina hesitated for a moment and continued, "I said before, it's better for you to leave as soon as possible, and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!"
Her tone was a bit urgent, as if she was eager for Tang Yin to leave Misty Village as soon as possible.
Tang Yin heard the hidden meaning in her words and sarcastically retorted, "Because outsiders aren't welcome here?"
Wang Lina seemed stumped by Tang Yin's straightforward question, and her expression became complicated, as if she had some unspeakable secret.
Finally, she had to say somewhat petulantly, "That's right, that's how it is!"
She seemed to want to end the topic.
Tang Yin saw Wang Lina's change in attitude and sighed softly, saying, "As expected, you still don't want to tell the truth.
Is it useless to keep asking?"
Wang Lina heard the disappointment in Tang Yin's words and also sighed, "How should I put it, Mr. Tang Yin, you seem very perceptive, which is your advantage, but aren't you a bit too curious?"
Her tone was a bit helpless, but also a bit admiring.
Tang Yin was caught in the act and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Have I been found out?"
Wang Lina looked at Tang Yin and said seriously, "I found out a long time ago, but to be honest, it's better if you don't interfere."
Her eyes revealed a hint of warning.
Tang Yin heard the warning in Wang Lina's words, but said casually, "Anyway, I'm just a passerby."
Wang Lina responded briefly when she heard this, "That's how it is."
Her tone was a bit relieved, as if she was very happy that Tang Yin understood her position.
However, Tang Yin suddenly changed the subject, saying with a hint of teasing, "How should I put it, I feel like I've been abandoned."
His words had a hint of joking, but also implied a hint of real loss.
Wang Lina was amused by Tang Yin's words.
She blinked and suddenly suggested, "Ah? Do you want my email address?"
Tang Yin heard this unexpected suggestion and immediately replied without hesitation, "Of course I want it!"
Wang Lina saw Tang Yin's reaction and said with a smile, "Great, just think of yourself as my fifty-third boyfriend ~"
Tang Yin felt a pang of disappointment when he heard this number, and said with a bitter smile, "Alas, my mood has plummeted..."
Despite this, Tang Yin and Wang Lina exchanged contact information.
While entering Wang Lina's contact information, Tang Yin secretly sighed in his heart, wondering if his note would be number fifty-three, shining brightly in her address book.
This thought made him feel both amused and a little lost.
After exchanging contact information, Tang Yin still seemed a little unwilling.
His curiosity could not be satisfied, so he tentatively asked, "In any case, as a matter of personal interest, I still want to know what exactly happened here, what's the background."
His tone was full of sincerity and expectation, hoping to get some truth from Wang Lina.
Wang Lina's expression became complicated when she heard this question.
She seemed to be weighing whether or not she should tell Tang Yin something.
After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and slowly said, "Mr. Tang Yin, some things are safer the less you know.
Misty Village has its secrets, but these secrets are not for outsiders to know."
Tang Yin heard the warning in Wang Lina's words, but his curiosity was further aroused.
He pressed, "Does this village really have some unspeakable secrets?"
Wang Lina looked at Tang Yin's persistence and shook her head gently, "Every place has its history and traditions, and Misty Village is no exception.
Some things may be difficult for outsiders to understand.
I can only tell you that for your own safety, it's best not to delve into it."
Tang Yin heard the firmness in Wang Lina's words and knew that he would not get an answer if he continued to ask.
He sighed and said, "I understand.
But if you're willing to tell me the truth someday, I'm always welcome."
...
Wang Lina's expression became serious, and she replied firmly, "It's better if you don't interfere."
Her tone carried a hint of warning.
Tang Yin was unwilling to give up, and asked, "Why?"
Wang Lina's expression suddenly softened, and she said with a playful smile, "Because I'll be unhappy ~"
Her tone had a hint of coquetry, as if she wanted to stop Tang Yin from asking further in this way.
Tang Yin keenly noticed the change in Wang Lina's attitude and suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, you don't seem to like Misty Village, your hometown, very much?"
Wang Lina answered without hesitation when she heard this question, "Yeah, to be honest, I hate it."
Tang Yin was a little surprised by Wang Lina's straightforward answer, but he was unwilling to part with the beauty just like that, so he continued, "But you seem to have a good relationship with them!"
Wang Lina chuckled when she heard this, and then said, "Ha, I'm just pretending to be a good girl on the surface.
Actually, I'm a delinquent girl, and my relationship with the elders is also very bad.
Moreover, the situation here is very complicated, not so easy to understand, but I don't hate the people here."
Her tone had a hint of self-deprecation, but also revealed a complex emotion.
Tang Yin listened to Wang Lina's words and thought to himself that it seemed like he should stop here, and it was better not to continue asking.
He realized that Wang Lina's attitude was already very obvious, and continuing to ask might cause her displeasure.
Just as Tang Yin was about to end this topic, he suddenly thought of something, so he tentatively asked, "By the way, can I ask you one last question?"
Wang Lina raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of teasing, "You're quite bold, what's the question?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and asked directly, "Do you like Zhao Gang?"
Wang Lina was obviously not expecting this question and was surprised for a moment, "Huh? Me?"
Tang Yin nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes."
Wang Lina suddenly laughed when she heard this question, "Ahahaha, how is that possible, Brother Gang is indeed very MAN, but I don't like muscle men.
Besides, he's more than ten years older than me, definitely not my type.
What's more, Brother Gang has only had Aunt Chen Xiang in his heart all along!"
Tang Yin listened to this answer and said thoughtfully, "As expected, they're not married yet?"
Wang Lina's expression became serious, "Yeah, because Aunt Chen Xiang is a widow."
Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this information, the interpersonal relationships in this village seemed very complicated.
He began to recall some of the things that had happened before, and more questions arose in his mind.
Why did Wang Lina stop him from drinking tea?
This was obviously not because of jealousy towards Chen Xiang, but purely because she didn't want Tang Yin to drink the tea?
Tang Yin recalled Wang Lina's expression when she stopped him from drinking tea, which seemed to hide some kind of worry.
Moreover, Tang Yin had an even bigger question: why did Wang Lina specifically have Tang Yin eat instant noodles before coming to the cafeteria when he could have eaten in the cafeteria?
This behavior seemed unreasonable, but Tang Yin felt that there must be some hidden reason.
Although Tang Yin liked to think deeply, he also understood that it was better not to ask too much about some things.
He decided to bury these questions in his heart for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to explore them.
Looking at Wang Lina's complicated expression, Tang Yin realized that this seemingly ordinary mountain village girl seemed to be hiding many secrets.
Her attitude towards Misty Village, her relationship with the villagers, and even her actions to stop him, all made Tang Yin feel confused.
Just then, Wang Lina seemed to sense Tang Yin's thoughts and said softly, "Mr. Tang Yin, it's not a good thing to know too much about some things.
I hope you can leave Misty Village safely, with good memories."
...
Tang Yin hung up the phone and walked back to the cafeteria with a frustrated look.
He had just finished talking to the insurance company and confirmed a frustrating fact.
Because Misty Village was at least several hundred kilometers away from the nearest service station, it was far beyond the insurance company's regular service area.
If he wanted to apply for rescue, he would have to pay an extra fee, which amounted to more than five thousand yuan.
What made Tang Yin even more depressed was that if he had chosen a slightly more expensive package when he bought the insurance, he would now be able to enjoy free rescue services.
But it was too late to regret it now.
After weighing it again and again, Tang Yin finally gave up the idea of applying for rescue in order to save money.
With complicated feelings, Tang Yin pushed open the door of the cafeteria.
He found that the atmosphere inside the cafeteria had changed, and the diners had also changed.
Granny Rong, Gao Zhiwei, and Zhao Gang were gone, replaced by a conspicuous delinquent teenager.
This teenager's image can be said to be a textbook example of delinquency.
He had dazzling golden-yellow hair, and his hairstyle was the currently popular side part, with the sides shaved very short, while the hair on top was left long and casually combed to one side, giving people a rebellious feeling.
He had several silver earrings hanging from his ears, shining in the sun.
The teenager was wearing an oversized black T-shirt with an exaggerated skull pattern printed on it.
He wore a faded denim jacket over the T-shirt, with the sleeves casually rolled up.
This delinquent teenager had a nonchalant expression on his face, with a toothpick in his mouth and eyes full of disdain for the world.
When he saw Tang Yin walk in, he immediately frowned and looked wary.
"Who the hell are you?" the delinquent teenager said, seemingly trying to make a fierce voice to embolden himself.
However, if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of nervousness and unnaturalness.
Tang Yin noticed that the delinquent teenager's breakfast was a bowl of egg-covered rice.
Seeing Tang Yin come in, he immediately stuck his chopsticks into the rice bowl and asked aggressively.
Tang Yin replied somewhat awkwardly, "That... my name is Tang Yin."
The delinquent teenager heard this answer, immediately crossed his arms, and said with a dissatisfied face, "Huh?
Are you looking down on me?"
Just as the atmosphere became tense, the cafeteria owner, Chen Xiang, spoke up in time to stop him, "Wait, Xiao Yi, how can you talk to someone you just met like that!"
The delinquent teenager, called "Xiao Yi", immediately retorted, "That's annoying, old woman, hey, Sister Lina, who is he?"
Wang Lina explained with a smile, "Tang Yin, a traveler who had a car accident."
Tang Yin couldn't help but complain when he heard this introduction, "That's a really casual introduction."
Wang Lina continued to introduce, "Well, let me introduce you, this is Aunt Chen Xiang's youngest son, Qin Yi, and Qin Ming is his older brother."
Tang Yin immediately remembered the tall high school student, Qin Ming, that he met this morning when he heard this information.
Wang Lina added, "Well, actually they look a bit alike."
Qin Yi immediately said dissatisfiedly when he heard this, "What does it have to do with my brother, that's annoying, gossipy Lina!"
Wang Lina didn't seem to care about Qin Yi's rudeness, and responded casually, "Say whatever you want, it doesn't change the fact that I'm popular."
Qin Yi immediately retorted, "Then hurry back to the city, stupid woman!"
Wang Lina pretended to be very hurt and said to Tang Yin, "What should I do, Tang Yin, I didn't expect that I couldn't refute it!"
Seeing this, Tang Yin decided to tease Qin Yi along with Wang Lina's words, "What do you mean, are you a stupid woman?
Okay."
Wang Lina immediately pretended to be very aggrieved, "That's too much!"
Tang Yin continued to tease Qin Yi, "Let's say it together, Qin Yi, stupid woman, stupid woman!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, "What do you mean... Sister Lina is not stupid!"
Tang Yin thought to himself when he saw this scene: this kid's inner world is really complicated.
Wang Lina seemed to see through Tang Yin's thoughts and said with a smile, "Oh, a wonderful counterattack, it seems you're not an easy person, Mr. Tang Yin."
Tang Yin responded, "We're both the same."
Qin Yi looked at the back-and-forth conversation between the two and suddenly said directly, "I think you two should just date!"
Just then, Qin Yi's mother, Chen Xiang, interrupted their conversation, "That's enough, Xiao Yi, you're already late!
Hurry up and change your clothes and go to school!"
Qin Yi pouted dissatisfiedly when he heard this, "That's annoying, I'm not going!"
After saying that, he left the half-eaten egg-covered rice, complaining in a low voice as he left the cafeteria.
Chen Xiang saw this scene and said helplessly to Tang Yin and Wang Lina, "Sorry, I made you laugh."
Wang Lina shook her head and comforted, "Actually, he's a simple and good kid."
Tang Yin suddenly remembered at this time and asked, "Ah, by the way, where are Old Man Gao and Brother Gang?"
Chen Xiang replied, "Oh, they went to pick up your motorcycle."
Tang Yin immediately suggested when he heard this news, "I'll go with you!"
