never far away

Lin An couldn't express any opinions. When she saw Huang Yuxuan wiping her tears, she could only murmur a few words of comfort. Fortunately, at this time, Tuantuan had had enough fun and ran out to throw herself into his arms.Lin An focused all his attention on him, took out a tissue to help Tuan Tuan wipe off his sweat, and fed him fruit juice.Tuantuan saw a strange aunt with red eyes, and asked softly, "Uncle, is she crying?"

Huang Yuxuan wiped away her tears, and when she saw Tuantuan, she suddenly realized her ultimate goal. She looked at Lin An hesitantly, "Lin An, they all said... They all said that you are also a child of the Lin family... Can you speak in front of Lin Wei? Help me convey what I mean?" Her cheeks flushed suddenly, her voice lowered, "If he can hold his hand high, he can do whatever he wants me to do...it's fine..."

Lin An looked at her calmly, "Senior sister, since you've heard others tell me about me, you must have heard it well enough." He smiled, "Then you should know that I am just a word in front of him. It’s impossible to say.” After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and asked Tuantuan gently, “Shall we go somewhere else to play?”

"Ok."

Huang Yuxuan stared blankly at the man who was walking away with the child in her arms, and murmured after a long time: "If he really hates you as rumored, how could he let his son be so close to you?"

The banquet started on time at twelve o'clock, and the place was arranged on the platform on the top floor.Today's weather is cloudy, there is a cool breeze, and it doesn't feel hot.Everything on the top floor is complete, the food and wine are on the table quickly, and there is a band playing melodious music nearby, making the atmosphere harmonious.

Lin An didn't expect that he would be placed at the main table. Although he was the last one, it was enough to attract attention.What's more, the golden grandson of the Lin family has been calling him "uncle" and "uncle". It's self-evident who he is.

The other guests at the banquet stared at him appreciatively, and the people from the Lin family's side branch almost surrounded him, with malicious expressions on their faces.Among them, Lin Kun, who is usually the most messed up, came over, put his arm on Lin An's shoulder, and asked mockingly in a smiling tone: "Hey, who is this? Why haven't you seen it before? Grandpa, don't you give it to your nephew?" Let's introduce."

Old Mrs. Lin glanced at him, before he could speak, Tuantuan shouted, "This is my uncle!"

"Uncle? What kind of uncle?" Lin Kun smiled at Tuantuan.

Tuantuan frowned, he didn't understand what "what kind of son" was, so he just continued, "It's my uncle."

Lin Kun sneered, "So I'm not afraid that your grandma will come to you at night." After drinking a few glasses of wine, he was encouraged by other cousins, and his mouth became more open.

He puffed up his mouth angrily, Lin An kept his head buried and dared not speak, but now he raised his head and looked at Lin Kun, just about to reply, Lin Wei's voice cut in, "Is Sheng Hui free now? I let you out, did you find something to plug the funding gap?"

Lin Kun's face changed when he heard the words. He came here to beg Lin Xian for money, but now Lin Xian has transferred most of the rights to Lin Wei, so the person he actually asked for was Lin Wei.

Lin Wei walked over with a glass of wine, and looked at him coldly, "When you're drunk, find a place to cool off, don't bark here. It's never your turn to talk about the Lin family's affairs." He raised his hand Lifting the glass, he raised his voice and said: "Sorry, I made everyone laugh. I toast everyone to express my apology." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

The others are all familiar with the world, this kind of thing is very common in wealthy families, and seeing Lin Wei speak out in defense, it is naturally impossible not to give him face, and let the matter pass with a few jokes.

Lin Kun's face was very ugly, but he had no choice but to sit back silently.

Seeing that everyone has become normal again, Tuantuan hugged Lin Wei happily, "Father is amazing, help uncle talk."

Lin Wei patted his head, looked at Lin An who lowered his head again, and tried his best to suppress the anger just now.

Lin An didn't take a few mouthfuls of food, he couldn't eat any more, so he sat quietly for a long time, and found a chance to say goodbye to Mrs. Lin.Mrs. Lin held his hand reluctantly, and persuaded him, "You can play for a while, and sleep here at night."

"I have to go to work tomorrow morning, so I won't be in time." Lin An explained.

"Well, poor child, don't take what happened just now to your heart."

"Will not."

Old lady Lin smiled, "I knew you were sensible. Then you wait downstairs, and I'll send someone to take you back. You can't get a taxi outside here."

"Ok."

Lin An sat on the sofa downstairs and waited. Since most of the guests were still entertaining on the top floor, the first floor seemed relatively deserted.Liu Xi came over suddenly, holding a beautifully packaged paper box for him, "Lin An, I just saw that you didn't eat anything, I asked the kitchen to pack some snacks, you can take them home and eat."

Lin An quickly took it over, thought for a while, and said, "Thank you...sister-in-law."

Liu Xi sat down beside him, her smiling eyes curled up like crescent moons, "Just call me Sister Xi, I can't get used to people calling me sister-in-law, I always feel like I'm not married."

Lin An smiled. Although he had complicated feelings for her, he couldn't hate her, and even the jealousy disappeared after a few words.He obeyed her, "Sister Xi."

"Well, that sounds much better. By the way, when are you free? Shall we have dinner together then?"

"Sunday is fine."

"That's good, I will be in China during this time."

Lin An thought of the renovated house, and asked, "When will we move? But for the newly renovated house, I suggest you wait a few months before moving in. This is better for the health of the children."

Liu Xi was a little confused, "Moving? Where are you going?"

Lin An's smile froze, "A Wei commissioned us to decorate a house before, and I happened to be the one who took the order. I'm sorry, maybe he wanted to surprise you or something else, but I exposed it first."

"Is that so." Liu Xi had deep meaning in his eyes, and looked at him with a happy smile, "Did you handle it all?"

"um, yes."

"That should be a comfortable place to live."

Lin An: "I think so." He spent several times more effort than usual on the decoration, furniture and home appliances, and changed the plan several times, trying to make it perfect, so it will definitely be comfortable to live in.

It's just that he has no chance to experience it, but he will bless those who live in it.

Liu Xi gave him a sweet smile, "That's good, I'm looking forward to it."

The effect of participating in the banquet this time was much better than he had imagined. He thought it was a more heart-wrenching thing, but after experiencing it, he realized that it was not that painful.After getting along with Liu Xi, I realized that this is indeed a very suitable person for Lin Wei, mature and stable, with care and kindness in his atmosphere.

With more envy and blessing, jealousy and heartache will naturally fade away.

It's also good that I can't be by his side, because there are people around him who are much better than myself.

He really calmed down. Although he would still miss Lin Wei in the dead of night, he had already separated the Lin Wei in his memory from the current Lin Wei. What he kept in his heart in his memory was his, and no one could think of him. Can't take it away.The current Lin Wei belongs to someone else, and he no longer has delusions.

One day when he was packing his things, he also found the mobile phone that Lin Wei had given him, and it could still turn on when it was connected to the charger.The latest style a few years ago seems to have sunk into the times now. Those who are used to the touch screen feel a little strange when pressing the keyboard. Slowly opening the inbox, it contains all the things he and Lin Wei exchanged. sent text messages.At that time, Lin Wei had already deliberately ignored him, so the content of the text message was not much, but he also read it with relish for a long time.

All the things that I tried to bury in the past have been taken seriously, and the memories are no longer heartache, but full of warmth.He opened the photo album, and when he saw the sweet smiles of the two embracing teenagers facing the camera, he also smiled sweetly.The intimate photos from different angles magnified his thoughts. He put his precious mobile phone under the pillow, and took it out to look at it when he missed it, savoring the love during that time carefully.

He thought that he could live his whole life relying on these things.

Just remembering and reminiscing is innocent and doesn't hurt anyone.

As long as this is enough.

Li Sifei had been working for more than a month before he was free to pick him up.He paid his wages and took half of it back to Lin An. Lin An refused to accept it, so he looked at him with red eyes. Lin An had no choice but to say: "Then I will use it to give Gui Just buy canned food, you bought expensive ones to nourish its mouth, but then I bought cheap ones and it refused to eat."

Seeing that he could increase the chances of getting along with Lin An, Li Sifei nodded quickly.The two lived close to each other, they always came and went, and they walked frequently.This weekend Liu Xi asked Lin An to have dinner, and Li Sifei also wanted to go with him. Lin An got Liu Xi's consent and took him to the appointed place.

As soon as the sharp-eyed people saw him, they flew up and put their arms around his neck to hug him. Liu Xi laughed and said, "He sees you, he is closer than seeing my mother."

There was no complaint in her tone, and she walked into the box to welcome the two of them.Lin An saw Lin Wei sitting inside, and greeted him calmly.

Lin Wei still gave a lukewarm "hm", Li Sifei also greeted him awkwardly, and he nodded.Liu Xi ordered hot pot. It's the end of autumn and the weather is starting to get cold, so it's just right to eat hot pot.All kinds of meat and vegetables were placed on the whole table. There were clear soup and spicy ones at the bottom of the pot. Tuantuan didn't like spicy food very much, so Lin An helped him to boil the meat slices and balls in the clear soup.

Liu Xi is good at talking and has a careful heart, basically taking care of everyone's emotions.She asked about Li Sifei's job, and after hearing the answer, she smiled, "It just so happens that Tuantuan has reached the age where he should take interest classes. I think drawing is good, and it can cultivate children's pioneering thinking and patience. Ah Wei, what do you think? good?"

Lin Wei didn't raise his head, "He's still young."

Liu Xi shook his head helplessly, "It's just that you think he is still young. This is the age group where children usually start learning. But Tuantuan and you, you can choose."

Li Sifei hurriedly said: "Three years old is still young, and the children in our class usually start learning when they are four or five years old."

Liu Xi talked with him for a while, Lin An didn't talk much because he had to worry about eating, and Lin Wei didn't talk much, and didn't eat much, most of his attention was on Tuantuan.Several people ate for more than an hour, and felt that the temperature was high. Liu Xi took off his jacket first, and Lin An also took off his casual jacket, wearing only a sweater. He saw that the tip of his nose was sweating, so he helped him take off a clothes.

Li Sifei hung up his coat, turned around and saw that Lin Wei had also taken off his suit jacket for a rare occasion, only his white shirt was exposed, and the sleeves were neatly rolled up to his arms, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Lin is quite frugal too. "

A few people didn't know why, so they looked at him.Li Sifei suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly pointed to the watch on Lin Wei's right wrist, "It's this brand of watch, although it costs more than 1 yuan, it is very expensive for us, but in terms of Brother Lin's status and wealth , It’s relatively cheap.” He stuck out his tongue, and added embarrassingly, “Because I thought rich people bought watches with hundreds of thousands or millions.”

When he said that, Liu Xi and Lin An naturally looked at the watch following his gesture.After Lin An recognized the watch, his face froze, his mind suddenly tightened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He was not mistaken, that watch was his 20th birthday gift to Lin Wei.

At that time, the hard work of saving money has been forgotten, but the joy of buying the watch has not been forgotten. He thought that this gift had been thrown away in some corner of the world, but he did not expect that it would be worn on Lin Wei's wrist now. superior.

Lin Wei's face was still calm, "This is a gift from someone I like."

Lin An opened his eyes wide and stared at him, and there was a roar in his ears, and he almost wondered if he heard it wrong.

Li Sifei looked clear, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Sister Xi bought it, no wonder it is so precious. I really envy you, and I also hope to have someone who loves me so much." He couldn't help looking at Lin Ann, but found that his face was strange, a little pale.

Liu Xi smiled softly, but did not deny it.
