After the funeral, I abused the scum with the bamboo horse

Soon, the school bell rang.

When Nie Jiayan was packing his schoolbag, he turned his head and saw Shen Yunian standing at the door.

He walked over and walked around behind the other party, craned his neck and looked around, but he didn't find Lin Yixing's shadow.

"Uncle, where's brother Lin Yixing?" Nie Jiayan asked.

"The young master didn't come."

Shen Yunnian didn't want to lie about this kind of thing, Lin Yixing would not come, not today and not in the future, instead of lying to Nie Jiayan, it's better to tell him directly, so that the child's expectations will be greater and disappointment will be greater.

Nie Jiayan was indeed disappointed, her long soft eyelashes drooped deeply, like a puppy soaked by rain.

Lin Ranyi was very happy, walked over and put his arms around his little shoulders and said, "I won, little brother Baozi, you will play with me for an hour today."

Nie Jiayan was willing to admit defeat, "Okay."

It's getting late.

When Lin Yixing came back from the main house, he immediately saw Nie Jiayan who was playing with Lin Ranyi in the yard with a remote control car.

Xiao Kuibao's jet-black hair was stained with sweat, and his face was a little red from running.

The two sat on the stone steps, and Lin Ran got very close, as if he was teaching Nie Jiayan how to manipulate it. He didn't know what he said, but Nie Jiayan smiled, showing two deep dimples on his cheeks, looking very happy.

Lin Yixing looked at it for a while, then said, "Uncle Shen, call Nie Jiayan to go back to the room for dinner."

Shen Yunnian nodded and walked over.

From a distance, Lin Yixing couldn't hear what Shen Yunnian said to Nie Jiayan, but the child turned his head and looked at him. He didn't show any joy, but was brought back reluctantly.

Today's dinner includes sweet-scented osmanthus fish and roasted squab. The servant has already chopped the tenderest part of the fish and the squab into small pieces and put them in the children's bowl.

Nie Jiayan was taken to take a bath by Shen Yunnian, and when she came back, she ate quietly with a small bowl in her hand.

Lin Yixing was thinking about the two calligraphy and paintings he had studied with Lin Tongchen today, so he didn't notice his abnormality. When it was time to go to bed, he saw Nie Jiayan lying in the hut and refused to come out, so he realized that something was wrong.

"Going to bed," Lin Yixing leaned on the door with one hand, lowered his eyes to look at the little ball lying under the quilt, "Go to bed yet?"

Nie Jiayan hugged the little bear and turned his back to the door, when he heard the question, he replied in a muffled voice, "You don't need to worry about it."

The tone was angry, but because the voice was too soft, it sounded like she was acting like a baby.

Lin Yi walked over, squatted down, and gently poked the small shoulder that was propped up through the quilt with his index finger, "Didn't eat enough for dinner, or is the homework too difficult?"

Speaking of homework, he asked again: "What homework did the teacher assign? Did you not write it?"

Nie Jiayan was annoyed by his questioning, so she hid in bed and did not speak.

Lin Yixing felt that he might be a bit tired of studying, and just after he got him out of the bed, before he could open his mouth to teach him, he saw Nie Jiayan crying again.

Tears rolled down the lower eyelids, and soon wet half of the face.

Some people are ugly when they cry, and some people look good when they cry. There is no doubt that Nie Jiayan belongs to the latter. Otherwise, with his personality of not knowing how many times he would cry a day, Lin Yixing would have annoyed him so much that he would throw it out.

Stretching out his hand to pluck his wet eyelashes from crying, Lin Yixing felt helpless and strange, "Why are you crying again? Is it because you don't like school so much?"

"no......."

Nie Jiayan wiped his tears with his small hands, "Why didn't you come to pick me up? Didn't we agree?"

Lin Yixing was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Nie Jiayan was saying that he had promised to pick him up after school but didn't go, so he asked, "That's why? Didn't Uncle Shen bring you back?"

"No, it's not the same," Nie Jiayan hiccupped from crying, "Say, if you agree to come, you have to come."

Lin Yixing saw that every time he said a word, he had to take a deep breath, thought it was amused, and there were some other emotions mixed in, so he paused for a moment, then reached out and hugged him in his arms.

"Got it," he patted Nie Jiayan's back lightly with the palm of his hand, "I will pick you up later."

Nie Jiayan choked and nodded, two small arms draped limply around his neck.

Lin Yixing carried him back to the bed, and seeing that Nie Jiayan had stopped crying, he rubbed his fingertips against his red nose from crying, and said, "Nie Jiayan, show me a smile."

Nie Jiayan was a little tired from crying and didn't want to laugh. He turned his head to avoid his fingers, lay down and closed his eyes.

After a while, people fell asleep.

Lin Yixing pulled the quilt for him, and lightly touched Nie Jiayan's face where there would be dimples when he smiled with his fingers, and finally slowly closed his eyelids.

The next day, Lin Yixing picked up Nie Jiayan from school as agreed.

The little guy was so happy that he didn't even glance at the new toy that Lin Ranyi had brought, and kept wrapping his arms around his neck and telling him what the teacher taught him today.

After finishing speaking, Nie Jiayan also took off a small golden star that was pasted on the back of his hand, and slowly stuck it to the side of his face.

"Today's drawing class, I drew a car, Teacher Xu rewarded me with a little star, brother Lin Yixing, I will give it to you."

When Nie Jiayan said this, the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were deep, as if filled with two puddles of sweet honey.

Lin Yixing didn't need to look in the mirror, Shen Yunnian, who could hold back a smile from the side, knew how funny he looked at this time, but he didn't take off the star, and just stuck to it and went home.

Since then, Lin Yixing would pick up Nie Jiayan after school every day, and this pick-up lasted six years.

When Nie Jiayan was 11 years old, Lin Yixing graduated from university. According to Lin Tongchen's arrangement, he needed to go abroad for further studies. After finishing his studies, he would join the Lin Group as an intern.

On the day when the departure date was confirmed, Lin Yixing went to the main house.

Lin Tongchen was feeding the koi in the backyard, twirling the fish food with two fingers, and feeding as he walked. Seeing Lin Yixing coming, he waved to him, "How are things packed?"

"It's almost there, and the house over there has been found, so just go there when the time comes."

Lin Tongchen nodded in relief, "Your father only took four years to complete his undergraduate and master's courses. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs. Grandpa believes that you can do better than him."

Lin Yixing did not open his mouth to respond to this heavy praise, but said: "Grandpa, I want to take Jiayan with me."

"Oh?"

Lin Tongchen thought for a moment before he remembered that the child who entered the Lin family's household registration was his adopted son in name.

"The kid said he wanted to go with you?"

Lin Yixing shook his head, "No, I want to take him with me."

Lin Tongchen didn't express his opinion right away, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Lin Yixing's calm brows for a moment, and then said: "You like it, after all, you raised that child, and you have the right to decide everything about him."

Lin Yixing said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Coming out of the main house, Lin Yixing did not rush back to the house, but made a detour and went to the crane fountain in the front yard.

Recently, Nie Jiayan would go there to watch the fish for half an hour during his lunch break. Because the school assigned a practical homework of observing small animals, he used local materials, and soon set the few bright red koi in the fountain as the objects of observation.

The scorching sun scorched the leaves so that they gave off a faint burnt smell.

When Lin Yixing went to the front yard, Nie Jiayan was sitting on a stone half a meter above the ground by the edge of the fountain.

Two legs hang down naturally, a pen is biting in the mouth, a book is held in one hand, and the small stone lion that spouts spring water is supported by the other hand. From time to time, he turns his head to look at the small fish swimming in the pool, and then lowers his head to record something.

Shen Yunnian stood on one side, holding an umbrella, which perfectly blocked all the hot sun.

Even so, a thin layer of sweat still broke out on Nie Jiayan's forehead, the roots of his hair were slightly damp, and his delicate snow-white skin was slightly tinged with red under the steaming heat.

The first person who noticed Lin Yixing's arrival was Shen Yunnian, he nodded, "Master."

Nie Jiayan turned his head when he heard the sound, and then happily called out, "Brother."

The two calves were dangling back and forth, Lin Yixing was afraid that he would fall, so he walked over to hold his arm.

"Don't shake, these koi will eat you as fish food when you fall into the pond later."

Five-year-old Nie Jiayan believed it, but 11-year-old Nie Jiayan might not.

"You're bluffing people again." Nie Jiayan turned his pen around, "I don't believe that koi eat children when I was six years old."

The corners of Lin Yixing's lips twitched, "Have you finished watching the fish?"

Nie Jiayan raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There are still 10 minutes," he pursed his lips and smiled, revealing his dimples, "but my brother is here, so I won't watch it."

As he spoke, Nie Jiayan opened his hands.

Lin Yixing took a step forward, raised his hands around his arms, and hugged him down.

Nie Jiayan, who was 11 years old, grew a little taller compared to her mushroom-like stature at the age of five.

But it was just a little bit, Lin Yixing still habitually pressed his palms on his heart, supported him like a crutch, and said, "Nie Jiayan, I transferred you to another school, you go abroad with me, over there Study for a few years and then come back."

Plain and straightforward declarative sentences are neither orders nor inquiries, but just a kind of notification.

Nie Jiayan was very obedient and didn't ask anything. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then he murmured in distress: "Then my eight days of observation have been wasted, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Lin Yixing smiled again, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

But soon, the smile faded away.

Lin Ran also came from the other side of Linzi Road with a small glass jar, ran up to the two of them, first called his cousin in a polite manner, then moved to Nie Jiayan and said to him: "Brother Xiaoyan, look at me Is the tortoise a little bigger than before?"

"Have it?"

Nie Jiayan was very curious by what he said, so he squatted down together and looked down at the little turtle motionless in the glass jar.

"Yes, when I bought it back, it was this big," Lin Ranyi gestured with open arms, "Now it's at least one centimeter longer."

Nie Jiayan was amused by him, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "It's only a centimeter, how could you tell it?"

Lin Ranyi stared blankly at him, and then scratched her head blushing for a long time, as if feeling embarrassed that the lie had been exposed, "Well, I just want to test you."
