Siheyuan: Since 51

"Lingyi, starting next week, I will go to the research institute on weekends to help my senior brother, so I won't have time to accompany you."

"It's okay. Studies are more important. It's not like we won't see each other during the week."

After two voices, Lin Zhihui and a girl appeared from the corner, walking side by side.

Lingyi?

My brother’s white moonlight?

A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Zhiyuan's eyes fell on the girl. She was of medium height, with short hair, a straight nose, big eyes, and dimples...

Lin Zhihui also saw Lin Zhiyuan and exclaimed, "Brother, why are you here?"

Lin Zhiyuan shrugged, "What else can I do? I just need to come to school and hand in my homework to the teacher!"

Lin Zhihui calmed down and quickly introduced: "Brother, this is my girlfriend Ye Lingyi, Lingyi, this is my brother Lin Zhiyuan."

Lin Zhiyuan curved his lips and said with a smile: "Hello, Lingyi."

Ye Lingyi was a little shy, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she called out in a very low voice, "Brother Zhiyuan."

"Zhihui, bring Lingyi home for dinner when you have time."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan glanced back and forth. The two were clearly walking on the street. Not wanting to be a light bulb, he immediately waved his hand and said, "You guys continue. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

After walking out of the gate of Beijing University, Lin Zhiyuan slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "Oh, I was so busy not disturbing you that I forgot to give you a gift for your sister-in-law."

back home.

Lin Zhiyuan found Qin Huairu and said depressedly: "Today at school, I ran into Zhihui and his girlfriend. I guess they were on a date. I didn't want to bother them and was in a hurry to leave. I forgot to give them a gift. Do you think the girl would misunderstand me?"

Qin Huairu giggled, "If he didn't give it, then he didn't give it. There's no rule that says he has to give it. Besides, he's not coming to our house for dinner. I'll give it to him when Zhihui comes over someday."

Lin Zhiyuan touched the tip of his nose and said, "Okay, then you should prepare in advance."

"As a brother, you are really dedicated and worry about your brother so much!"

Qin Huairu smiled playfully and said, "Where is the other brother?"

Lin Zhiyuan was confused, "What?"

"Ai Min, you left early today, around noon. Ai Min packed up neatly and left the house. I guess you went on a date."

Qin Huairu said, snorting, "My silly brother has been lying at home all day, and he didn't even ask a girl out for a walk."

As they were talking, little Shufan cried out "Wow!"

Qin Huairu quickly got up and ran to the inner room.

Lin Zhiyuan followed closely behind.

The sun sets and the night grows darker.

Chef Wang Aimin was nowhere to be seen, so Lin Zhiyuan got up to cook.

While cutting vegetables, Wang Aimin hummed a little tune, happily turned into the courtyard and went straight to the kitchen.

Hearing the noise behind him, Lin Zhiyuan turned around and saw a face with raised eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows and made a joke.

"Hey, Aimin, you're laughing so happily, did you eat honey shit?"

Wang Aimin was stunned, and then denied it repeatedly, "No, no."

Lin Zhiyuan stopped the kitchen knife in his hand and continued to tease, "Nothing?"

Wang Aimin was a little nervous, "I didn't eat... I wasn't happy."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Tell me, what's the good news?"

Wang Aimin chuckled, "I just... I made an appointment with Xiaoying and watched a movie."

"Oh, sure! When are you going to meet the parents?"

Wang Aimin scratched his forehead, "Brother, I'm not old enough!"

"Come on!" Lin Zhiyuan took a step back and moved away from the chopping board. "In two months, the Chinese New Year will pass and you will be twenty. How come that is not enough?"

Wang Aimin felt embarrassed and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"What a waste!" Lin Zhiyuan scolded with a smile, then said, "I'll go and find out for you tomorrow."

As he was speaking, Qin Huaiwu strolled into the courtyard.

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Come, Xiaowu, come here."

Qin Huaiwu came to the kitchen door and said in a lingering voice, "What's wrong, brother-in-law?"

Lin Zhiyuan said angrily, "Can't you learn from Ai Min?"

"What to learn?" Qin Huaiwu looked confused.

"I……"

Lin Zhiyuan was furious.

"I finally got a day off, but you didn't go back to the village and stayed in the house all day. Do you think you are right? Don't you even ask Xiao Tingting out for dinner or to watch a movie?"

Qin Huaiwu blurted out: "How do I know if she has time?"

Lin Zhiyuan almost fainted, "You don't know how to ask, ask!"

"I asked her!" Qin Huaiwu stared at her with his eyes wide open. "I asked her when she had time to go watch a movie, and she just looked at me quietly without saying a word."

Lin Zhiyuan took a long breath and tried to calm down.

"Well, next time, when we ask, can you specify the time and project directly? For example, are you free on Sunday to go to the movies in the afternoon..."

The next day, Propaganda Department.

Lin Zhiyuan called Chu Xiaoying to his office and asked her to sit down.

Without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point and asked with a smile, "Xiaoying, what's going on between you and Aimin now?"

It was too direct. Even though Chu Xiaoying was usually carefree, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Lin Ke, it's just... just like that."

"What's that like?"

Lin Zhiyuan replied casually, then reacted and said, "I'll ask his mother to come over this weekend. Do you think it's convenient for me to visit your house?"

"This……"

Chu Xiaoying was a little shy, "Lin Ke, you...you guys can make the arrangements!"

Lin Zhiyuan was very proud, you see, it’s such a simple thing.

"Okay, then don't worry about it. Go and get busy! Please help call Xiao Tingting."

Three minutes later, Xiao Tingting sat in Chu Xiaoying's previous position.

Lin Zhiyuan went straight to the point again.

"Tingting, next time Xiaowu asks you about eating, watching a movie, etc., don't wait for him to tell you about the plan. He wants to respect your opinion. You can tell him your own time and ideas."

"what!"

Xiao Tingting was stunned on the spot, her cheeks instantly flushed, "Lin Ke, this..."

Lin Zhiyuan shrugged, "I can't help it. Xiao Wu is really stubborn and only knows how to respect you. I am not wrong."

Xiao Tingting could feel her heart pounding. After a long while, she said weakly, "Lin Ke, I know!"

Voila, another one solved.

Lin Zhiyuan curled his lips and said, "You should get busy too!"

Lin Zhiyuan lit up a Daqianmen cigarette, took a sip, and muttered to himself: "Without any experience in love, can't I still solve the problem? I've been so worried about my brother's lifelong happiness."

After finishing a cigarette, Lin Zhiyuan thought about what he had just said to Chu Xiaoying, that his aunt was going to visit him at the weekend, but she didn't even have an address, so he went straight to Chu Chen's office.

Knock on the door, get permission, and push the door open.

When Chu Chen saw that it was Lin Zhiyuan, he immediately asked with a smile: "Xiao Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, "Something happened!"

"What's the matter?" Chu Chen asked suspiciously.

"It's about Aimin and Xiaoying. The New Year is coming soon. Aimin will be twenty next year. I think the two of them are very compatible, so I plan to let my aunt go to her house to visit her."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "I'm asking you for the address."

"Is that so? Wait a minute, I'll write it to you right away!"

Chu Chen pulled out a notebook from the side, tore off a page, and said as he wrote, "Pay attention to your own affairs as well."

"I?"

Lin Zhiyuan pointed at himself and asked, "What do you want from me?"
