summer like smoke

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, under the heat wave of nearly [-] degrees in S city, Lin Yan looked at the weather. Although he regretted it in every way and was extremely unwilling, he still stayed alone as he promised on the phone last night. I came to a famous and elegant western drink shop in S city.

As soon as he opened the door and looked, Lin Yan couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows.While taking out her mobile phone and looking down at the time, she raised her foot and walked quickly towards the seat where Han Yingyue was sitting, scratching her hair and laughing angrily: "Well... this is my first date with a girl, and I specially asked you ahead of time A little bit, as a result..." He sat down and shrugged regretfully, "Sorry."

"No, no, nothing! It's okay!" Han Yingyue quickly put down her spoon and waved her hands quickly, her small and beautiful melon-seeded face could barely squeeze out an ugly and forced smile, "Yes, it's me... I came too early."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded to indicate that she was okay, while observing Han Yingyue in front of her with a playful expression.Ever since Han Yingyue disappeared inexplicably on the Internet a few months ago, until last night and now, Lin Yan has never had any contact or contact with his half-blood sister.Originally, he thought it was because Han Yingyue was about to add a nephew and niece, so she couldn't access the Internet anymore; but judging from the current situation, Han Yingyue was not only not pregnant at all, but also her body shape, complexion and mood, and even Compared with what he saw at the Lin family banquet at the beginning of this year, he was astonishingly haggard and thinner, and he was depressed for a long time.Han Yingyue originally looked like the petite "little beauty" type, plus today she just casually tied a ponytail, her hair is also glowing with a layer of natural light red maroon, and she is wearing a sleeveless T-shirt Cropped denim flat sandals, no makeup on the face, a pair of academic black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose──that looks like a hardworking and well-behaved model high school girl.Especially when she was sitting with Lin Yan, a man who looked like an eternally beautiful boy, in the eyes of everyone else in the store, the two of them were clearly a couple of high school students who loved each other early.

Han Yingyue lowered her head to pick up the spoon again, and slowly stirred clockwise in her cup of hot milk.The few strands of broken hair and bangs on the forehead and the small shadow cast by them can almost easily cover half of Han Yingyue's small face, blocking all her looks and expressions now.Hesitating and hesitating, trying to hide it, couldn't be more obvious.

But Lin Yan was not in a hurry.After all, girls are gentle and patient, which is one of the good qualities that a man must have.

"Huh?...Oh my god!" Suddenly Han Yingyue exclaimed in a small voice, raised her face in a panic and looked at Lin Yan at a loss, she clenched her fist with her right hand and hit her forehead twice, her face full of self-blame, "Sorry, sorry! I just forgot... What do you want to drink? I asked you out, of course I came to invite you."

Originally, although Han Yingyue was petite and pretty, but because of her smart head and outgoing personality, her usual aura was still very strong and queenly.Therefore, Lin Yan couldn't help but find it a little funny when Han Yingyue faced her at this moment with this rare little girl's nervous and anxious demeanor.Glancing casually at the cup in front of Han Yingyue from the corner of the eye, the smile on Lin Yan's face gradually became more gentle unconsciously for some reason. After a moment of silence, she whispered softly, almost to herself: "It's okay." I'll drink milk too. What a coincidence, I like this too," he raised his hand to beckon the waiter, and lightly ordered, "Just like her, have a glass of milk, but it needs to be iced."

Then a certain underage high school student part-time female waitress, with such obsession, intoxication and dreaminess all over her face, as if all her strength and all her sanity were taken away after talking with Lin Yan, all the way Stupidly walked away.

Han Yingyue sat opposite and watched the whole process from beginning to end, until Lin Yan's iced milk came up, Han Yingyue silently looked at the innocent girl's shy expectation, although she tried her best to hide it, her face was flushed, her surprised expression, her approach, and Even the person on the opposite side could hear her heart beating like a drum and thunder like a wave... Finally, when the girl stepped back and walked away, Han Yingyue couldn't help but giggled, and said with emotion on her forehead: "Hey, it's over!" It's over, the ancients really did not deceive others with their so-called beauties, disasters and beauties. Look, Lin Yan, you haven't done anything yet, and you have captivated another poor innocent child."

"Well, I know." Regarding Han Yingyue's sentence, although it sounded a little yin and yang, it was actually a sincere compliment from the heart. Lin Yan didn't pretend to be hypocritical or submissive, on the contrary, he nodded and admitted it generously.However, when he said this, there was no pride or complacency in the corners of his eyes or brows, but a face that had long been used to numbness, boredom, helplessness and bitterness, "But... I don't want to, either." His voice was low and deep, Sigh and sigh.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of milk, the cold and sweet liquid slid into the mouth and flowed through the esophagus, quickly freezing and condensing the scorching heat that had just come all the way, sweeping away.Lin Yan smacked his lips in incomparable satisfaction, the tip of his pink and tender tongue quickly licked and rolled twice on the bright red lips that were lightly floating with milky white foam, squinting his eyes and enjoying: "Mmm~ delicious." Innocent, with a childish and cute tone, he behaves like a good kid who got candy.

So now even Han Yingyue herself was almost stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and said in a daze: "Lin, Lin Yan, you...you are really, so beautiful."

Lin Yan stirred the spoon on his own, then suddenly raised his head and smiled at the other party and blurted out: "Thank you, you too," blinking, the halo at the bottom of his eyes was finely mottled, like twinkling stars in the sky; Her smile is gorgeous and earnest, bright and sincere. At first glance, it is even more dazzling than the scorching sun outside the window, making people unable to open their eyes. Han Yingyue is involuntarily seduced by it, falls into it, wants to believe, and chooses to Believe, "──You are beautiful too, really."

With a sincere expression and a solemn tone, Han Yingyue was stunned for a moment and then embarrassed, a little... flattered.To tell the truth, although she is indeed a beauty, but sitting with a great beauty like Lin Yan, and was praised by Lin Yan as "beautiful"... Han Yingyue thinks that she is not so shameless, such a compliment, It really made her feel guilty.

"Uh... ok, ok... thanks, thank you." Han Yingyue was extremely uncomfortable, so she could only thank her in embarrassment.At this time, she only thought that Lin Yan was being polite to herself, but she never thought that when Lin Yan's temper was so good, so polite to others.After a long time, when she thought about it, she finally realized that no matter how much Lin Yan hated Tang Han, Zhuang Jingyu, Lin Weiyun, and her father, Lin Yan never thought of it because of them or because of those things. The relatives, partners, friends and sisters who obviously have such a close relationship with me have deliberately implicated and angered me.

Even Lin Yan's words and deeds to Han Yingyue, from the beginning to the end, can almost be called "gentle".And what was the reason for that? She really, had been bewildered for too long.

Lin Yan finished drinking the glass of iced milk in a short while, and quickly waved to the waiter for another glass.Han Yingyue looked a little surprised, and asked him in amazement: "You...you are saving me money, aren't you? Why don't you drink coffee, latte, cappuccino, etc.? Or, eat an ice cream cone or something It’s also good. I thought you liked this kind of Western-style drinks and snacks very much, so I specially decided on this place.”

Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled: "No, it's not like that. I don't like anything Western, especially when it comes to food," he gently held his chin with one hand, and slowly stroked the slightly moist skin with his beautiful fingertips. On the edge of the cup, the originally clean and dry finger pulps and nails were soon filled with a light layer of milky white foam. Compared with the gentle expression just now, the smiling and stretched brows were in the air-conditioning rising and lingering around the cup. , more and more showing a kind of extreme gentleness; the deliberately lowered voice seemed to come from the distant sky, trance and nostalgia, "I am the same as you. I like whatever you like."

Han Yingyue's eyes widened suddenly.For a moment, the breath stagnates and the heartbeat stops.

If such misleading love words come from any man who is not Lin Yan, it would be too suspicious of flirting.But now the person who said it was Lin Yan, and Han Yingyue heard it, but felt that there were many, many meanings, except for that one.

Except, the cheesiest kind.

I don't know why, although her husband Tang Han hates Lin Yan very much, although she also knows that Lin Yan was not very friendly to Zhuang Jingyu, and even though she only found out a few months ago, maybe Lin Yan still has an affair with her father Han Xiao Such an ambiguous little relationship... But no matter what, Han Yingyue just couldn't hate Lin Yan.It's not because of Lin Yan's astonishing and unparalleled beauty, but because every time Han Yingyue faces Lin Yan, Han Yingyue always has a kind of inexplicable inexplicable, as if she was born with familiarity and kindness.

In this world, there is a fetter that can never be eliminated, cut off, destroyed, let alone denied, called blood relationship.

"Okay, that's enough nonsense, let's get down to business." Before Han Yingyue could respond, Lin Yan suddenly put down the cup and sat up straight. There was no reason, but she said calmly and confidently: " I know that you came from City D to City S to meet me face to face this time, because you wanted to ask me something."

Puff──

Han Yingyue blushed all of a sudden.In the next second, he quickly lowered his head to conceal the spoon, opened his mouth to hold the spoon, and poured a big mouthful of hot milk into his mouth.

In the flustered and hasty gestures, frowns and clusters, there is a trace of coquettish, natural, playful and cute that only girls can have.Lin Yan quietly looked at Han Yingyue's appearance on the opposite side, even he himself didn't realize how charming and gentle his expression and smile was at this moment, as if he had returned to a place with the same clear sky and scorching sun many years ago in an instant. The scorching past summer passed by, the voices and smiles were distinct, and the voices and expressions of parents and relatives were still vivid in my ears, but in a blink of an eye, it was the old time that could never go back... There is a faint nostalgia in the brows that is sometimes faintly visible And the faint pain, seems relieved, but also doubly sad.

After a pause, when Changshu's eyes opened again, Lin Yan's originally hazy eyes suddenly became as bright as the moon and as clear as snow, and the jade-like pupils did not evade the slightest bit of concealment, and the eyes were clear to the bottom , so sincere that it is almost impossible to look directly: "Now I can tell you very seriously that although there is a little relationship between Han Xiao and I-as for what it is, I am sorry I can't tell you-but you can rest assured, because That's definitely not the kind of relationship you're worried about," said Han Yingyue's pale and emaciated body and face, sweeping a circle without passion, her brows gradually furrowed, revealing a bit of undisguised distress And Lianxi, "Hey, don't tell me that you have been struggling and depressed at home for several months because of this matter, and you have made yourself so haggard. You even flew to S City to find I'll have an interview... Hey, Han Yingyue, you really don't need to be so reserved in front of me, although I really hate your... Well, there are some people around you, but I don't hate you. "

Lin Yan lowered his head and stirred the milk, the cups and spoons collided, crisp and pleasant.But his voice was obviously a thousand times, ten thousand times, ten million times more beautiful than that: "Also, I will never hate you."

... After a moment of relief, Han Yingyue asked Lin Yan in a daze, why.

Hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes: "Oh, I still have to ask? Why don't I hate you... Of course it's because I like you," Han Yingyue suddenly looked as if she had been struck by lightning Lin Yan pondered for a while, and finally she was willing to add another sentence, "Don't get me wrong, I mean, like my sister, I like you."

Like a younger brother who loves his sister—the only and only remaining relative in this world—I like you.

There are also regrets, atonement, rewards, and cherishing... There are so many complicated emotions that it is difficult to express them in words.

Of course, Han Yingyue was not so narcissistic that she thought that the liking Lin Yan spoke of would be the kind of liking between a man and a woman, but the answer Lin Yan gave her made her feel even more confused and flattered.

But Lin Yan didn't give Han Yingyue a chance to continue to investigate further. She raised her eyes and quickly cut off Han Yingyue's hasty words just now, and the corners of her eyes and brows, which were always delicate and picturesque, disappeared for the first time. The long-lasting romantic love and enchanting charm are replaced by traces of gentleness and softness, reassuring and reassuring: "Tang Han and Han Xiao, your husband and your father have protected you very well," He stopped and squinted his eyes and thought for a while, the light-colored eyes flowed with a little moonlight that Han Yingyue couldn't see clearly or read, and his voice gradually became low, and finally he muttered, "...this is very good, very good."

Han Yingyue looked dazed as if she had lost her mind.She doesn't know what's going on, but she always feels that in the next second, the person in front of her will gradually become transparent and disappear, and finally melt into the dappled light that comes in from the broken windows around her. Can't hold it firmly either.Faint, but heart-wrenching sadness.

Just when Han Yingyue was so uncomfortable that she was almost out of breath and even shed tears, fortunately, Lin Yan's cell phone ringtone interrupted the sudden weird atmosphere in time.It was a very cute ringtone. It seemed that Lin Yan specially recorded it. It was the sound of a... er... I don't know what kind of small animal it was. Very cute.

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows but didn't take the phone out of the bag. After more than ten seconds, it stopped automatically, and then he explained: "This is a reminder I set. Well, well, since the misunderstanding has been clarified , then I’m going back to bathe my son.”

!!!

"Huh!? Uh...cough cough...cough cough cough! cough cough..." Han Yingyue was almost choked to death by her mouthful of hot milk, but she was still struggling while coughing, "What... what! ? Your son... son!?"

Son son son son... Ohgod!Han Yingyue felt that she was going crazy!

"Yes," Lin Yan smiled and nodded in affirmation. Fearing that the world would not be chaotic and adding fuel to the flames, he stood up and patted Han Yingyue on the back, ignoring her strong objection and beckoned the waiter to pay the bill by himself. , and ended her suffering with a raised eyebrow and a smile, "Oh, it's a little pet I raised recently, its name is Adrian, I'll show you if I have a chance, it's very cute."

"..." Han Yingyue, who knew the truth and Xia Zhaoshi's English name, was completely embarrassed.

However, when Han Yingyue just walked out the door, she was surprised to learn that the little pet turned out to be a precious little white fox. She was silent for a long while thoughtfully, and then subconsciously murmured: "Fox? Uh... okay. Well, that really looks like Adrian."

Lin Yan was stunned for half a second, then smiled and bent over: "Haha! Sure enough! I really like you, sister~ sister~"

Lin Yanzuo liked her sister at the same time, but it was embarrassing for Han Yingyue to say that.It wasn't until many years later that she realized how stupid she was to be embarrassed back then.

"By the way, where are you going now?" As soon as they went out to greet them, there was scorching heat waves and unbearably hot summer heat. Lin Yan reluctantly narrowed his eyes into a slit, and looked up. The scorching sun above his head, but only for a second, he lowered his eyes unbearably, gently rubbed the throbbing temples on both sides with one hand, and frowned, while telling Han Yingyue non-negotiably, "It's too hot this day Yes. You go in first and wait a while, I will pick up the car and send you off."

Unexpectedly, Han Yingyue at the side did not answer for a long time.

"...Huh?" After waiting for a while without hearing a sound, Lin Yan turned to look at her wonderingly, but unexpectedly saw a pale face that was surprised and absent-minded. On her forehead, her frown became more and more tight, "Hey, what's the matter?... No way, it's only been a few seconds since you came out, you won't suffer from heat stroke so soon, right?"

The air-conditioning in the store is sufficient, and the drink Lin Yan just drank is considered iced, so the temperature of the palm of his hand is still relatively low. The ice is cold and moist, and the moment it is pressed against Han Yingyue's forehead, Han Yingyue's whole body is shocked. Completely came back to God.

"Oh no no... um, I'm fine, I'm fine, it's just..." She pursed her lips, with a hesitant expression, as if struggling with how to explain her distress, "I just feel... just thinking... ...In the past, I always thought that a man like you who is so...uh...so...so pampered by men, but...maybe...well...maybe..."

Oh my god!She may still not be able to speak!

But as smart as Lin Yan, he already understood it.

"Oh, needless to say, I got it." Seeing that Han Yingyue, who has always been eloquent, hesitated for a long time this time but did not come out with a clear and complete sentence, Lin Yan smiled and added for her very thoughtfully, "You I think, like me, a man who is always supported by other men and is always favored by other men is actually not a completely healthy man psychologically, but has already regarded himself as a weak and weak man. You are the little girl who helped you, right. That’s why you were so surprised when I said just now that I’m going to send you back. Because taking care of girls gently, being considerate and patient is something that a truly mature man and gentleman would do. "

"Uh..." Han Yingyue, who was once again seen through her thoughts in public, blushed until her ears were flushed, she really wanted to dive into the ground and escape, it was better than staying here and hemming and embarrassing, "I, I, I... Oh, yes No……"

"It's nothing to apologize for," Lin Yan shrugged and interrupted her indifferently. After a moment of silence, the sparkle in his eyes suddenly chuckled, "And you're not wronging me, anyway, sometimes, I really, really want to as a woman."

"Uh..." Han Yingyue was shocked and embarrassed for a moment, and really didn't know how to answer the question.

But fortunately, Lin Yan didn't intend to ask her to comment. He raised his hands and touched the cheeks on both sides, with a sad and lonely expression, and murmured in a low voice: "Because I think my face is suitable for... It should grow on a woman's body."

Han Yingyue tilted her head and imagined such a woman—such a beautiful woman with Lin Yan's appearance, and immediately couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow, no! Forget it, forget it, your face If it grows like this on a man like you, if it grows on a woman's body... then it would be a disaster!"

Lin Yan smiled when he heard the words: "Tiantian? Heh," he took out his sunglasses from his bag and put them on, instantly blocking the scorching hot sun above his head, and of course covering all the light in his eyes at the moment.Looking up again, I looked up at the boundless blue sky above my head, which was no longer so dazzling and dazzling, but turned soft and gray; even though it was midsummer, Lin Yan's smile seemed to have passed through the seasons, and the poignant beauty was like autumn leaves, "Yes Ah, it's going to turn upside down."

Already, it's turned upside down.

What Han Yingyue has always planned is to quickly ask and solve this matter. I will come back today, and try not to let Tang Han and my father find out that I have come to D City, so the return ticket has already been booked, and it will be just tonight. seven o 'clock.Originally, she didn't want to bother Lin Yan to take her to the airport, but in the end, Lin Yan honked the horn and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, aren't you on your period? What can you do? Get in the car, Don't make me say it a third time" ─ ─ I was stunned and couldn't move.

Completely frightened, Han Yingyue stretched out her left hand and shook uncontrollably, pointing tremblingly at Lin Yan, before she could say "how do you know", she was pulled hard by Lin Yan, who was finally completely impatient Bring it into the car.

"Why don't I know? Even if I guess, I can guess it," Lin Yan rolled his eyes while fastening his seat belt, "Otherwise, it's such a hot day, why would you drink some hot milk if you put a good cold drink on it?"

"..."

To a certain extent, Han Yingyue suddenly felt that Lin Yan was actually more feminine than a woman...

About an hour later, Lin Yan's Ferrari (which Xia Zhaoshi gave him later, just as Xia Zhaoshi promised him the night they first met, to replace the original Toyota) slowly drove into the airport of S City International Airport. Underground Parking Lot.

After taking out the card and finding a good place to stop, Han Yingyue unfastened her seat belt and thanked Lin Yan, telling Lin Yan that there was no need to send her up.After speaking, he was about to open the door and get out of the car, but Lin Yan suddenly grabbed her wrist with a strong backhand.

"Eh!?" Han Yingyue struggled to break free a few times but failed.Although Lin Yan's body frame is thinner and thinner than most men in this world, he is still a man after all, and in terms of physical strength, he is still much stronger than Han Yingyue who is a woman.After several unsuccessful attempts, Han Yingyue finally gave up struggling, and said in amazement: What's going on? "

She asked "what's going on", not "what do you want to do to me".Even at this time, Han Yingyue was not worried or afraid, nor did she think or feel that Lin Yan would be bad for her or hurt her.

Unreasonable trust and certainty, desperate choice and belief.

Even without knowing it, blood ties, brotherhood, and kinship also have such a quiet power.

Lin Yan didn't answer, but just let out a soft "shh", and stared at the surroundings outside the car with deep eyes.Han Yingyue had never seen Lin Yan so serious, or rather...as if he was facing an enemy.The tense atmosphere made her gradually become panicky, with sweaty palms and heavy breathing.

When all directions are like tides, more and more tall figures are gradually approaching them, and each figure is holding a gun in his hand... In Han Yingyue's three-view world, only in TV movies or When she saw a certain high-end weapon that can only be seen in novels, she had already collapsed limply on the seat, and was so shocked that she could no longer utter a word or a word.

There is such a disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, there is no need to fight recklessly, and there is no possibility of success.

Lin Yan sighed and put down Han Yingyue's hand, bent over the steering wheel and turned to look at her, with a helpless smile: "I'm so innocent. I guess you've committed an offense today, so it's not suitable for you to go out." , and it’s really not where you should come.”

Your father has too many enemies here.You should really stay in City D all the time, in the dreamy little castle that Han Xiao built for you.
