half thorns, half joy

After a meal, Cai Lin proposed not to go home yet, but to take a stroll around and feel the long-lost hometown scenery.

Naturally, Cai Jinyu accompanied him all the way. He didn't want to bear Cai Lin's sarcasm alone, so he forcefully brought Xiao Zihan along, and when Xiao Zihan was there, Lin Qiaoer was also there.

"Hey, I didn't expect such a big change. Many shops and stores in my memory have been demolished. Now I almost don't know this city." Cai Lin said pitifully, lying on the edge of the window.

Cai Jinyu immediately said, "Our school hasn't been demolished, it's still the same, do you want to see it?"

"Okay, let's go to school now." Cai Lin continued to sigh, "I really miss that time. I don't have to think about anything, and I am carefree."

Cai Jinyu frowned, "Aren't you quite carefree now?"

Cai Lin pouted, "Why, don't I have to worry about making money now, man, once I start making money, I won't have so much fun."

Although this may sound naive, the truth is still there.

Cai Jinyu couldn't think of how to refute for a while, but she didn't want to see her sister so sad, so she pulled out Xiao Zihan to change the subject, "Speaking of which, you and Zihan were still the topic of discussion in our school at that time."

Mentioning this, Cai Lin immediately laughed.

"That's right, I remember they were model couples or something." Cai Lin turned to look at Xiao Zihan in the back row, "Brother Zihan, do you still remember?"

Xiao Zihan replied lightly: "I don't remember clearly."

Cai Lin laughed, "You were like this back then, haha, you were obviously the focus, and you were talked about wherever you went, but you didn't have a little bit of self-awareness, showing mercy everywhere, and made those girls sad."

"Be lenient?" Xiao Zihan retorted, "I've never done that kind of thing."

"Of course you did, but you did it unconsciously." Cai Lin's mood brightened for a moment, and she laughed until she collapsed, "I still remember that when those girls confessed to you, you looked confused I can't remember who he looks like, hahahaha, it's really funny."

Xiao Zihan's face darkened. After being reminded by Cai Lin, he suddenly thought of someone.

"By the way, you know Lin Xia, isn't it, Lin Xinxin?" Xiao Zihan recalled the information related to Lin Xia, "The one in the same grade as us seems to be in the next class, and then transferred away."

"Lin Xinxin..." Cai Lin pouted, showing a confused expression.

Cai Jinyu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly interrupted, "Zihan, is the Lin Xinxin you're talking about the one who planned to kidnap Tang Xuan last time?"

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Well, it's her, she seems to have been sent abroad again."

Cai Lin looked confused, "What Lin Xinxin, what kidnapping, there is such a thing as kidnapping?"

It was a year ago that Tang Xuan was kidnapped. Xiao Zihan didn't mention much about that period of time, so Cai Jinyu didn't intend to explain in depth, but explained to Cai Lin: "That's a long story, I just want to say this Lin Xinxin, you should have a little impression that she was jealous of you and wrote scolding words all over her notebook, and she transferred to another school after the word spread."

"Hmm..." Cai Lin held her head and thought for a while before she nodded, "It seems to be the case, but there were so many people who were jealous of me back then, I can't even remember which one was which."

Cai Jinyu clicked his tongue, glanced at Xiao Zihan in the rearview mirror, and said deliberately: "Then after all, I'm going to go around your brother Zihan again. Who told him to be so merciful. That Lin Xinxin, you can say It's crazy pursuit of your brother Zihan, haha."

Xiao Zihan's face darkened, "When did I show mercy...'

"Haha, I already said that brother Zihan is unconscious." As a friend, Tang Xuan teased her former love interest, "But that was all in the past, I'm curious, brother Zihan is still recruiting girls like that now Like it?"

Cai Jinyu glanced back from the corner of her eye, and sneered, "That's not true, you're still so merciful."

Xiao Zihan couldn't help kicking the driver's seat again, "Hey!"

"Oh, I see." Cai Lin glanced at Lin Qiaoer and Xiao Zihan, smiling knowingly.

Xiao Zihan couldn't bear it anymore: "...you are enough."

The topic fell on Lin Qiaoer. The strange thing was that Lin Qiaoer was not as shy as before. She was silent and kept her head down, as if she was thinking about something.

Cai Lin thought that Lin Qiaoer was thinking about other things, so she stopped teasing her and turned back to bickering with Cai Jinyu.

Xiao Zihan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look out the car window.

No one saw Lin Qiaoer's unnatural movements and the shock on her face. None of the four of them knew that Lin Qiaoer and Lin Xinxin were actually cousins.

Although the relationship is not close, but it is indeed relatives.

Lin Qiaoer's family made a fortune relatively early, and her family sent her abroad early. She has almost no contact with her distant relatives, so she has hardly met her cousin Lin Xinxin, but she knows her name and experience.

When she was abroad before, she heard something mentioned at a family gathering, saying that the cousin changed her life to have plastic surgery, and even stalked a man, and as a result, he didn't like her at all.

Later, Lin Xinxin's father's company was investigated. In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Qiaoer's family cut off contact with Lin Xinxin's family, and they never heard from Lin Xinxin again.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qiaoer never expected that the man who was stalked by Lin Xinxin was actually Xiao Zihan.

So is it because the women in their family have the genes to like Xiao Zihan in their bones, or is it really a bad fate?
Lin Qiaoer had indescribably complicated feelings in her heart.

"Okay, here we are." Cai Jinyu asked Cai Lin when the car stopped at the gate of the high school, "Are you going to take a look here, or go in?"

Cai Lin pursed her lips, "At this point in time, we can't get in. Look at the security guards, they definitely won't let us in."

Cai Jinyu smiled and turned to look at Xiao Zihan, "With your brother Zihan here, do you still need to worry about such things? If he says a word, the security will let you in obediently."

"Wow, brother Zihan, are you so powerful now, can you cover the sky with one hand?" Cai Lin's surprised expression was in place.

"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, I'll take you in for a walk." Xiao Zihan opened the car door and got out of the car, explaining: "The Xiao family donates money to the school every year, that's all."

Cai Lin nodded, "I thought I would stop donating a long time ago, but I didn't expect to keep donating."

Xiao Zihan didn't answer, strode over to show his ID card to the security guard, the security guard made a phone call, and sure enough respectfully invited Xiao Zihan in.

When Cai Lin walked to Xiao Zihan's side, she heard the security guard ask Xiao Zihan if he needed someone to accompany him.

"No need, I'm just looking around and I'll be leaving in a while, you can do your work." Xiao Zihan politely rejected the security guard.

Cai Lin smiled all over her face, "I really didn't expect it. I haven't seen you in the past few years. Brother Zihan, you have completely changed. I feel different from before."

Xiao Zihan: "Really?"

"Yes, I feel that you are much more mature and stable than before, and what else..." Cai Lin deliberately pulled out her voice, "Also, you are too serious now, and you feel fierce, no It was so soft before."

Xiao Zihan: "...What kind of cuteness..."

"Look!" Cai Lin took Xiao Zihan's arm, "You would never say such things before! If it were you before, you would smile softly, hum. Tell me quickly, what have you been through , why is it so vicissitudes now."

Cai Jinyu glanced at Cai Lin in surprise, and complained in his heart that women's intuition is really accurate. In the past year, Xiao Zihan's personality has indeed changed a lot, and the aura of his whole body has changed.

Xiao Zihan remained silent.

Cai Lin reacted belatedly, and looked at Xiao Zihan with distressed eyes, "Brother Zihan, is it because of Uncle Xiao..."

Xiao Zihan remained silent.

"Okay, okay, why are you talking about these things? Aren't you arguing for nostalgia? You've come to the place, why don't you take a good look at the nostalgia?" Cai Jinyu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately made a siege.

Cai Lin bit her lip and lowered her head, then quickly raised her head with a smile, and trotted along with Xiao Zihan, "I remember we used to go to the top floor of the teaching building to blow the wind, let's go, go there and have a look."

"Hey, run slowly, the students are watching." Xiao Zihan couldn't help reminding Cai Lin in a low voice.

There were originally four adults, and when they entered the high school, the students cast curious and strange glances one after another. After running like this, they immediately attracted more attention.

Cai Lin didn't take those gazes seriously at all, and dragged Xiao Zihan to trot all the way to the teaching building, climbed up the stairs, and climbed to the roof.

Cai Jinyu, who followed closely behind, was panting heavily, not caring about his image, and shouted at Cai Lin, "Hey, slow down."

"Look, this lock still opens with one tap." Cai Lin skillfully unlocked the door on the top floor, and pulled Xiao Zihan up to the rooftop.

"Wow, it still hasn't changed here." Cai Lin opened her arms and took a deep breath, "Well, it still smells like my alma mater."

Cai Jinyu had just climbed up. Hearing what Cai Lin said, she couldn't help complaining, "Well, your alma mater still smells good. What kind of smell is it, the smell of books?"

Cai Lin gave Cai Jinyu a blank look, "Cut, you don't understand."

Cai Jinyu sat down on the spot, leaning her back against the door on the top floor, "Come on, you, little girl, I'm going to pretend to be literary again."

"Tch, you pretend to be literary." Cai Lin searched around the corners of the top floor, finally stopped in front of a brick, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that after so many years, the words I wrote are still there." .”

Xiao Zihan followed and walked over, "What did you write?"

"Guess?" Cai Lin blocked the brick with both hands, looking up at Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan shook his head, "I can't guess."

Cai Lin acted like a baby, "Guess one."

"Eh..." Xiao Zihan thought for a while before tentatively saying, "Are you going to be a great scientist in the future?"

"Pfft, how could she have such big ambitions." Cai Jinyu also had enough rest, got up and patted the dirt on her buttocks, walked over and stood next to Xiao Zihan, "She wrote it, and she will marry brother Zihan after graduating from university."

Cai Lin glared at Cai Jinyu unhappy, "Hey, did I ask you, you talk too much! You are the only one who talks too much!"

Xiao Zihan couldn't believe it, "...Really?"

"Okay, this is it." Cai Lin put down her hand blocking the brick. After so many years, the writing on the brick looks a little peeled off, but because the engraving is relatively deep, it can still be read clearly.

Xiao Zihan suddenly didn't know what to say. This sentence might have been a very sweet prospect back then, but looking at it now, it is somewhat embarrassing.

Fortunately, Cai Lin didn't mean that at all. Seeing Xiao Zihan's silence, she immediately said in a teasing way: "Brother Zihan, don't be afraid. This was engraved at that time. The person I want to marry now is not you." .”

"Ah... that's good." Xiao Zihan breathed a sigh of relief.

Cai Lin saw Lin Qiaoer standing behind Xiao Zihan all the time, with a flattering and cute face, "Qiaoer, don't take this to heart, it was all done when I was young and ignorant."

Lin Qiaoer squeezed her palms with her hands behind her back, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Of course I know, I didn't expect you to be so cute."
