half thorns, half joy

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Deng Langyue asked Cai Lin worriedly, seeing that there was something wrong with Cai Lin's expression.

Cai Lin pinched her palms, and once again remembered what the woman told her at the end.

"Besides Tang Xuan, don't tell anyone what happened today, otherwise Tang Xuan and I will be in bad luck! Let's go!"

That woman is not very important to Cai Lin, but Tang Xuan has already been regarded by Cai Lin as her own sister, no matter whether it is true or not, she can't take any risks.

Deng Langyue nervously supported the armrest and sat up straight, reaching out to hold Cai Lin's hand.

Cai Lin lowered her head and saw that her hand was pinched by Deng Langyue. She bit her lip, shook her head, and said nonsense: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something from the past."

"What happened before? What happened?" Deng Langyue looked at Cai Lin and asked.

"Just... when you were in the hospital, you suddenly asked me to go..." Cai Lin didn't know how to lie, so she could only dig out what was on her mind, raised her eyes and looked at Deng Langyue, and asked with concern : "I'm a little worried. In the future, you will drive me away so suddenly. I'm afraid..."

Deng Langyue interrupted Cai Lin suddenly, her tone was very firm, "No, absolutely not."

Cai Lin bit her lip, looking a little uneasy, "Really?"

"Really, I promise." Deng Langyue held Cai Lin's hand tightly, leaned over, and gently kissed Cai Lin's finger, "Trust me, okay?"

Cai Lin was in a very complicated mood. She was so full of thoughts about that strange woman that she couldn't listen to these words at all, but Deng Langyue's words were sincere and moving, so she nodded.

"Fool, why did you suddenly think of that?" Deng Langyue heaved a sigh of relief, and rubbed Cai Lin's hair.

Cai Lin smiled embarrassedly and lowered her head.

After all, it was Cai Lin's first visit to Deng's house, and she didn't plan to stay for long, so after sitting with Deng Langyue for a while, Cai Lin got up to leave.

If she didn't leave again, she was afraid that she would slip up.

And Deng Langyue didn't know anything about what happened to Cai Lin in the afternoon and what was on her mind. He thought it was because he fell asleep halfway, which made Cai Lin lonely and bored, so Cai Lin became indifferent afterwards.

He warned himself that Cai Lin must not be bored next time, since he brought her girl over, he must accompany her well.

After Cai Lin left Deng's house, she went straight to Xiao Zihan's villa without much thought.

She knew that her brother Zihan and sister Tang Xuan came back today, and her brother asked her to pick them up at the airport in the morning, but she had already made an appointment with Deng Langyue in advance, so she had to let her brother go by himself.

Cai Lin couldn't help but wonder if she hadn't rejected her brother in the morning and had chosen to pick up the plane instead of going to Deng Langyue's house, would she not have found the locked up woman.

While thinking wildly, the car drove to the gate of the villa.

Cai Lin got out of the car, greeted the nanny who came out to open the door casually, and walked into the villa.

In the living room on the first floor of the villa, several people were sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very cheerful.

"Linlin, you're here." Tang Xuan saw Cai Lin first, she got up and walked to Cai Lin's side, happily holding Cai Lin's hand.

Cai Jinyu raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and snorted angrily, "I didn't know what time it was until I came back."

Cai Lin seemed unable to hear her brother's sarcasm, and said apologetically to Tang Xuan, "Sister Tang Xuan, I'm really sorry I didn't pick you up today, please don't blame me."

"Linlin, what are you apologizing for? Why should I blame you?" Tang Xuan pulled Cai Lin over, sat on the sofa, and said with a smile, "We are criticizing your brother here, you came just in time, let's have a good time Preach and teach him."

Tang Xuan could see Cai Lin's disappointment, but there were too many people at the moment, so it was not suitable to ask in detail, so she deliberately brought the topic to Cai Jinyu.

The purpose is to make Cai Lin happy.

Cai Jinyu was not as thoughtful as Tang Xuan. After staring at Cai Lin with her downcast hair for a few seconds, he said coldly, "What's the matter, did you go to someone's house and hit a wall? Did someone cure you?"

He spoke fiercely with sarcasm, but his eyes were full of worry.

"No, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cai Lin couldn't hear her brother say anything bad about Deng Langyue, so she answered back even though she had something on her mind.

Cai Jinyu was not to be outdone, "If not, then why are you making a fuss? We messed with you?"

"Jinyu!" Tang Xuan's voice became stern. She glared at Cai Jinyu, leaned closer to Cai Lin, and coaxed Cai Lin like a big sister, "Don't listen to your brother talking nonsense, he is not happy being questioned by us right now. Getting mad at you."

Cai Lin looked at Tang Xuan, her heart skipped a beat.

Originally, she planned to find a suitable opportunity to tell Tang Xuan about the person just now, but now that she heard Tang Xuan's gentle voice, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Linlin, what's the matter?" Tang Xuan saw anxiety in Cai Lin's eyes, and asked worriedly.

Cai Lin swallowed nervously, lay down next to Tang Xuan's ear, and said to Tang Xuan in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sister, I have something to tell you."

Tang Xuan was slightly surprised, but still nodded, "Okay."

Then, Tang Xuan turned around and gave Xiao Zihan a wink, and said loudly on purpose, "You guys go ahead and talk about yours. Linlin and I will go talk about something more careful."

"Hey, you..." Cai Jinyu was kicked by Xiao Zihan just as he was about to express his opinion.

Therefore, Cai Jinyu could only keep her mouth shut angrily, watching Tang Xuan take Cai Lin upstairs and disappearing around the corner of the stairs unwillingly.

Xiao Zihan only opened his mouth after Tang Xuan and Cai Lin had left.

"Cai Lin obviously has something on her mind. It's impossible for her to tell you that you are so irritable. It will only backfire. Let Tang Xuan talk to her. Tang Xuan has a sense of proportion. We'll just listen to what Tang Xuan has to say when we're done."

Cai Jinyu snorted through her nostrils, and muttered extremely unhappily, "What the hell is all this?"

Although he was still irritable, he had to agree with Xiao Zihan's words.

Huang Tingting, who was sitting by the side, witnessed the moment Cai Lin entered the room. In just a few minutes, the atmosphere in the room changed drastically. It was so tense that she didn't dare to breathe out.

After all, she's only been here for a short time, and judging by the conflict, it's really not something she should intervene and she can persuade.

only……

Huang Tingting secretly glanced at Cai Jinyu. Cai Jinyu was so nervous about Cai Lin's younger sister. She was a little envious of Cai Lin.

……

Upstairs, inside Tang Xuan's bedroom.

Tang Xuan closed the door, pulled Cai Lin to sit on the bed, and asked suspiciously, "Linlin, tell me, what do you have to say to me?"

"I..." Cai Lin clenched her fists. There were too many things she wanted to say, and the things she wanted to say were too terrifying. She didn't know how to describe them for a while.

"It's okay, Linlin, I'll listen carefully to what you want to say." Seeing that Cai Lin was nervous, Tang Xuan comforted Cai Lin softly, "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened, so what if it's Deng Langyue?"

Cai Lin shook her head, "No, it has nothing to do with Deng Langyue."

Tang Xuan was surprised, "Isn't it Deng Langyue? That's it?" Thinking of the topics they discussed in the car, Tang Xuan quickly asked, "Could it be that the Deng family did something to you? Did they embarrass you? "

"No." Cai Lin's tense chest heaved up and down. She bit the bullet and asked Tang Xuan, "Sister Tang Xuan, do you have a friend, a good-looking friend?"

Tang Xuan was stunned when she asked this question.

After a few seconds of reaction, Tang Xuan asked Cai Lin in confusion, "What friends are you talking about? I...don't have many friends, so I don't know which one you are talking about."

"I don't know how to say...she's at Deng's house!" Cai Lin really didn't know how to describe it, and said in a nonsensical manner, "She told me that she is your friend, and asked me to send you a message, asking you to save her And told me, let me not tell anyone but you, otherwise, both she and you will be in bad luck! Also, she was locked up!"

Cai Lin's words were broken and messed up, but Tang Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief as if struck by lightning.

At Deng's house...

her friend...

save her...

locked up...

These seemingly incongruous words made Tang Xuan immediately think of someone.A person who had been in her life and disappeared for a long time.

A person she once thought was no longer alive.

At that moment, coldness ran up Tang Xuan's feet, and Tang Xuan's back felt cold.
