Terrorist attacks

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, even though it was an urban area, birdsong could be faintly heard outside the window. Lin Xin gradually woke up, his eyes were sleepy, and he glanced at the people around him. I slept all night without knowing it.

Lin Xin sat up suddenly, probably with a lot of movement, Qiao Yan opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, he hugged his waist and kissed him, and asked after a long time: "What's the matter, it's still early, go to sleep."

Lin Xin thought for a while, then continued to pull the quilt to cover the two of them, and lay down again:

"Let's talk."

Of course Qiao Yisheng said yes, and leaned over to gently stroke his back to induce him to speak.

There was only a short distance between Lin Xin and him, breathing and touching each other. He turned his face away in embarrassment, and seemed to be brewing for a moment before saying, "Yesterday afternoon, I didn't know you were there, but in the final analysis, it was my fault." Lin Xin paused, glanced at him, and planned to continue.

Qiao Yisheng propped his head on one hand, sat up slightly, and looked at him.Lin Xin was caught by that interesting gaze, his heart was half-suspended, he avoided the other party's sight, and said: "I did not do well yesterday, and I know you are uncomfortable. But..."

"But what? Say it." Qiao Yan's tone was flat, and Lin Xin couldn't tell his emotion or anger, but when it came to this point, he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply told him, preemptively.

"Please don't embarrass him."

There was a moment of silence in the room. Lin Xin thought twice before deciding to start with Qiao Yisheng.

He has always known the other party's behavior style, this matter is not so easy to settle, I don't know what tricks he will use again, this matter cannot be delayed.

In fact, with Li Qianqing's ability, Lin Xin gave him a little hint, asking him to take good care of Yu Jie and protect him, which was more than enough.

It's just that he doesn't want to remind the other party directly, which is tantamount to causing trouble for Qiao Yisheng.This is not the United States, no matter how powerful Ren Qiao is, there will always be something to avoid.Lin Xin is not willing to see both sides fighting, pros and cons winning or losing.

Qiao Yisheng often acts in the dark, and no one can stop him. He can't give Li Qian clear information, so he can only ask Qiao Yisheng to solve it.

Lin Xin also felt that this was more direct, and Qiao Yisheng probably wouldn't fool him casually, and Yu Jie would be fine if he got a promise from him.

He is very sure that Qiao Yisheng is a person who will do what he says, as long as he promises, it will be fine.

Qiao Yisheng didn't stop, one hand was still patting him lightly, making people think that everything was an illusion, time passed, the two of them still maintained their original posture, and it took him a long time to say: "Who is it difficult for?"

Lin Xin didn't expect him to be so pressing every step of the way, and he insisted on digging out the things that each other knew well, and the atmosphere was awkward and silent.

Qiao Yi's expression remained unchanged, and his hand was still gentle, stroking from his back to his waist, stopped, and put it on his waist.

"You know who it is, I saw it yesterday, he has caring people around, I don't even..." Lin Xin didn't continue, turned his back to Qiao Yisheng.

"So I'm just your spare tire? You have no hope at all, so you're the next best thing?" Qiao Yin leaned into his ear, asking each word in a flat manner.

Lin Xin froze for a moment, then shook his head, but couldn't find anything to refute, so he just lay quietly without saying a word.

Qiao Yisheng tore off the quilt, gently pillowed on Lin Xin's waist, played with his fingers, and said after a long time: "Okay, I promise you, I will never trouble him, you should feel at ease."

Qiao Yisheng himself felt that it was both funny and funny. Yesterday, seeing Lin Xin spare no effort to arrange food and wine for others, his heart was already sore and stinging. When Lin Xin introduced him like that, he was eager to clear up the relationship between the two, so he did not change his face and let him go. play.

Up to now, he still has to deal with himself for the safety of another person. From the beginning to the end, he doesn't ask how he feels.

He is such a person, since we first met 2 years ago, until now, the two of us have been together for so long, and we have never apologized to him in such a low tone and discussed with him.

But not for him.

Qiao Yi buried his face in his waist and hugged him tightly, his heart felt cold, no matter how close the two were, they couldn't cover him.

After breakfast, Lin Xin wanted to go back to the office. He walked to the entrance and looked back at Qiao Yisheng in silence for a long time.

"What's the matter? Do you want me to send you?"

Lin Xin shook his head:

"No, the company is nearby. I'll walk over there soon. I have to go to my home in the suburbs today. My elder brother has transferred back. I have to go there. I won't come at night."

Joe nodded in a low voice:

"Okay, but the charity auction in two days, you promised me, remember to come."

Lin Xin just remembered what happened several days ago, so he immediately agreed and left quickly.

He has been busy at the office all day long, Lin Xin has never had a sip of water, and Xiaoya brought lunch for him when he was eating.

It wasn't until evening, when it was getting dark, that Lin Xin knew to look at his watch. It was almost time to get off work, and several people outside were sorting out files and preparing materials for tomorrow.

He walked out and told everyone to disperse. There were no major cases recently. Although he was busy, they were all consulting work of a commercial nature.

Everyone left sparsely, and Lin Xin packed up his things, took the car keys, and was about to leave when his phone vibrated.

With the same number, Lin Xin hesitated for a while every time, but this time he decisively pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

At the same time, I pulled open the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows. At the beginning of December, the night view of the city, bustling and desolate, stuck in my eyes little by little.

"How do you think about it?"

"I promised you a long time ago."

"Really." The other party laughed before continuing:

"But so far, there has been no progress."

"I know. The time is not right, and I have tried, but it can't be done."

"I thought you were busy, so I forgot."

"Don't worry, I remember it all the time."

"That's good, Mr. Lin, I'll wait for your news."

The other party hung up the phone first, and Lin Xin felt harsh when he heard the busy tone, and hung up immediately as if he had come to his senses.

Back in the suburbs, the house was very lively, Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Yuan's family of three were all there, and grandparents sat at the table, waiting for Lin Xin.

"There are no rules. I told you to come back early today. It's fine for us to wait with your elder brother. Are grandparents still here to guard you at such an old age?"

Just as Lin Xin walked to the table, Lin's father scolded him, and Lin's mother gently tugged at the hem of his clothes to make him stop talking.

Grandpa said:

"Xiaoxin is not a child. Of course he knows the priorities. You are used to staying in the army and you know the discipline. As a lawyer, can you leave the client alone and let your own temper go?"

Only then did Father Lin stop talking, and waved his hand to signal Lin Xin to sit down.

Grandma put Lin Xin's favorite food in front of him, but Lin's father couldn't speak, so he had to turn a blind eye.

He picked up two chopsticks and put the dish back where it was.

Although Lin Xin is not young anymore, he still has a nephew below him, who is the great-grandson of the eldest son, so he should be more loved by the elders.But grandparents have a special preference for this little grandson, and no one can say anything more.

After all, he grew up with his grandparents when he was a child. He is smart, sensible, and good-looking. He is especially liked by adults. When the old man visits his comrades' homes and takes his grandson with him, everyone admires him. Of course, he feels that this child is unparalleled in the world. up.

In fact, why would Lin's father and Lin's mother not like the youngest son? Lin Yuan was used to beating and was in the army. Although his parents always had a special affection for the eldest son, Lin Yuan followed his parents since he was a child, so he was naturally treated strictly.Lin Xin had been away from them for a long time, but he had a feeling that Lin's father treated his youngest son only verbally.Unlike Lin Yuan, everything can only exceed his own expectations, and no mistakes are allowed, and he is pressing every step of the way. In the past two years, he has become a family, so he is not as depressed as before.

Lin Xin didn't say much, the two brothers naturally had a tacit understanding, he poured the wine himself, filled it for Lin Yuan, then touched his glass, indicating that we should drink together.

Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder, and quickly raised his head to drink.

"Xiao Yuan, you have to be more cautious when you come back to work this time. It's not that easy to transfer back to the capital. You used to be outside, and your size counted. Now you are in the central government. Although it is a promotion, so many people are pressing on you. , you are almost at the same level as your father now, and I won’t say anything unnecessary, you should know.” Although grandpa is old and has retired for many years, he is no longer in power, but after decades of hard work, he sees It still shows the sharpness of the past, but it is no longer sharp and has become deeper and thicker.

Lin Yuan nodded:

"Grandpa, I know."

"In your position, a little flaw may be magnified countless times by someone with a heart. If one step is not in place, it may be lost forever. Xiao Yuan, remember, since you have taken this step, no matter what, you can't look back Just take a look and keep walking. It’s good to go all the way to the dark. It’s like crossing a single-plank bridge. Only when you are balanced can you have the front.”

Lin Yuan was silent, and Lin Xin answered:

"Brother has always been cautious. At his age, you can count the number of people sitting in this seat with a single slap. Grandpa, don't worry."

Grandpa just nodded, and the atmosphere on the table calmed down. He changed the subject and asked casually, "Xiaoxin, Xiaowei hasn't come to see you very much recently. I've heard about his family's accident. How are you doing now?"

Lin Xin shook his head:

"I haven't seen him for several days. I said I went out to relax. I met his cousin the day before yesterday, and the company was in chaos. There may be a board meeting in two days, and a decision will be made at that time. Qianqing is also back. Help them out with ideas, according to him, there may be room for things to turn around."

"That's good. There are so many people in the Sun family. They can't just fall down. Xiaoxin, you should go and walk around more and find a way for them."

Lin Xin nodded slightly, and took a piece of glutinous rice cake for grandpa.

"Xiao Yuan, the food is not to your taste? You haven't touched your chopsticks much."

Then Lin Yuan picked up the chopsticks, without saying a word, randomly picked up the nearest dish, and swallowed it down with the wine.

After eating, Lin's father followed his grandfather into the study, and the female family members were busy cleaning up the dishes. Lin Xin followed Lin Yuan to the open-air balcony.

"Your tone is getting tighter and tighter. You didn't even mention this matter. If Grandpa didn't say it casually today, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark about him sleeping on the street."

Lin Xin turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by his elder brother.

"No matter how poor the Sun family is, he wouldn't be like that. So what if you know, can you help him?"

Lin Yuan was still wearing a military uniform, and Lin Xin suddenly found it very dazzling when he saw the military rank on his shoulders that others had struggled for a lifetime.

"At least you should tell me." Lin Yuan was a soldier, and he said this resoundingly.

Lin Xin smiled lightly:

"Do you know why Grandpa mentioned it casually just now? Even if I told you earlier in the morning, there are only two results. You can either endure it or go to him. Do you think he is willing to see you alone now?"

Lin Yuan was silent, and finally said:

"I should be able to help with the matter of the Sun family."

Lin Xin raised his eyes and stared at him, with indescribable emotions, bleak and powerless, but very firm: "Brother, don't stop, let yourself suffer from it, don't hurt yourself, and hurt him too. Listen to what grandpa said How many points? In your current situation, how many people are staring at you, don’t you know? I know you have always been cautious, but many things are hard to guard against. I don’t understand those political things, but please don’t look for him again, otherwise Everyone is having a bad time."

After a pause, he looked at the window on the third floor again:

"Sister-in-law is waiting for you upstairs, go in."
