Light spot

Three days later, Lin Qinsheng was buried. His funeral was held on a foggy and rainy day. Xu Rui and Lin Zhi stood behind Tao Yiying in custom-made suits.

Lin Zhi looked at the guests who came to his father's funeral, walked up to Tao Yiying and expressed a false condolence speech, and said something like sister-in-law's condolences to Tao Yiying's frosty face.

Lin Zhi felt that the ground under his feet seemed to be spinning, as if he had fallen into some spinning time and space, everything was very unreal.

In just three days, things took a turn for the worse.

At the end of the funeral, Tao Chenyi and Lin Zhi were in the same car and left at the end, while Xu Rui and Lin Zhi had sent him back to rest early.

The black car drove by on the road, passing through the drizzle of the day. Originally, in such weather, the cool rain fell, which made people feel quite refreshed, but the atmosphere around Linzhi was really depressing.

At this moment, he really looks like a depressed and forbearable grief of his father's death.

Lin Zhi couldn't help recalling Lin Qinsheng's overly indulgent face, recalling his appearance before he died, whether he was also stained with the smell of a strange woman's perfume, powder smell and the lingering smell in the room when he died. What about the fishy smell, just thinking about it slightly, Lin Zhi's throat rolled, and he suddenly said: "Stop!"

When their car drove out of the road, it made a sharp turn. The car stopped on the side of the road, and the forest pheasant staggered out of the car, bent over and vomited on the side of the road.

Tao Chenyi saw it and followed, walked to Lin Zhi's side and handed him a bottle of water.

Lin Pheasant took the water after spitting out, rinsed his mouth and took two deep breaths before he seemed to calm down.

His hair was slightly wet from the drizzle, and when he returned to the car, he leaned his head on the car seat and murmured: "Lin Qinsheng is pretending to be a lover, it's disgusting."

Sitting next to him, Tao Chenyi frowned when he heard him say such words, and seemed to think for a moment before saying: "You don't have to pay too much attention to it, the will that my uncle entrusted to Lawyer Liu before his death yesterday was written by him many years ago. It was planned, and even if he left 70.00% of the shares in his hand to his aunt, aunt is only your son, so it will never fall into the hands of others, and you still have 30.00% of the shares left by your uncle in your hand %..."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhi suddenly interrupted him: "The 30.00% he left to me, the real estate including the trust fund accounted for half of it. In other words, I don't have any real power in the Lin family. He left everything to Tao Yiying."

The car fell silent for a moment.

That night, Tao Yiying and Lin Zhi didn't know what they were talking about in the study at home. Lin Zhi returned to the bedroom late at night, but when he came back, his face was very ugly.

However, in Xu Rui's impression, Lin Zhi and his mother seldom had a happy conversation, and the situation between mother and son was mostly tense.

Tao Chenyi began to come in and out of the Lin family frequently at this time. Tao Yiying took over the Lin family from Lin Qinsheng after Lin Qinsheng passed away. Tao Yiying had always been a smart woman with brains and means. She was born at that time If the Tao family had switched genders with her younger brother Tao Yingze, they wouldn't have been expelled from the power center of the Tao family like Tao Yingze, and reduced to the point where they could only pick up some marginal industries.

No matter how dull Xu Rui was, he could clearly notice the unusual changes in the atmosphere at home. On a weekend half a month later, Xu Rui rarely had a rest. During the second semester of his third year of high school, his rest time was greatly reduced.

On this Sunday morning, he took a late sleep and got up from the bed after nine o'clock.

Lin Pheasant is no longer in the bedroom at this time. He has not gone to school with Xu Rui during this time. Xu Rui sometimes sees him getting in the car with Tao Yiying and going out. I don't know if he is going to Lin's In the company, at night, the sound of mother and son arguing and breaking teacups can still be heard through the thick door of the study.

It was only half a month since Lin Qinsheng passed away, and the only thing Xu Rui could do was to not wave his hand away when the pheasant looked like a tired bird and came back to nest on him.

This seems to be Xu Rui's only comfort method at present.

During that time, he could feel Lin Zhi's rare depression and boredom, and he had a bit of irritability in his bones, but he was still very restrained in front of Xu Rui.

He had an irreconcilable conflict with his mother about something, and so far they still haven't settled down, Xu Rui vaguely noticed this.

When Xu Rui wanted to ask him, Lin Zhi would always change the subject, and Xu Rui had no choice but to listen to him when he wanted to tell him.

When Xu Rui came down from upstairs with a cup, he originally thought that the living room would be empty, but he didn't expect that Tao Yiying, Tao Chenyi, and Lin Zhi were all alone in the living room at nine o'clock in the morning. sofa.

Among them, only Tao Yiying was drinking tea calmly, Tao Chenyi clasped his fingers next to him, and then looked at Lin Zhi who was next to him. He was still wearing formal clothes, obviously he had already gone out for a while. , The clothes have not had time to change.

"Think about it and leave tomorrow. Your grandma is still waiting for you over there. I just talked to them on the phone these days." Tao Yiying's voice sounded.

There was not much movement when Xu Rui came down, he was wearing slippers, when he came down, Tao Chenyi glanced at him, Xu Rui smiled and nodded, as a greeting to him.

Lin Zhi also said at this time: "I can go abroad with Tao Chenyi, but Xu Rui must go with me!" The slightly raised corners of his lips began to disappear, and his jaw was also obviously tense, obviously The negotiations in the past few days have not yielded any benefits due to Tao Yiying's non-negotiable attitude.

"Xu Rui staying, staying in China is a better choice than going abroad with you. You should know what you are going to do. It's not just going to college. Tao Chenyi is more mature than Xu Rui. ..." Tao Yiying felt the gaze cast by Xu Rui when she said this, and suddenly changed her wording: "I came back before I finished middle school because I didn't get used to it. Taking Xu Rui there is like making a living target, you Do you think you have the ability to protect him now? The Tao family is not like the Lin family. You were born with no one to compete with you except Lin Qi. There are many capable and ambitious people in the Tao family. If you are enough If you are smart, you should understand that Xu Rui is staying, so that he can live a carefree life all the time, are you right?"

Tao Yiying and Lin Zhi's eyes met. Lin Zhi was silent for a long time, then twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Of course, I'll listen to you, Mom."

So far, Tao Yiying seems to have won the victory with Lin Zhi, and she is a little satisfied, then glanced at Xu Rui and said: "Xu Rui is still taking the college entrance examination in China, isn't he always interested in art, and he will study art in the future Well, how is the university of your teacher Zheng Yan? You are familiar with the local environment, and there is Zheng Yan in the school who can take care of you."

Xu Rui felt that he had grown up, but it seemed that everyone present was treating him like a child. He would go to college in the future, and he didn't necessarily need others to take care of him. He felt that he could take good care of himself.

Although this made Xu Rui a little unhappy, but Xu Rui really wanted to keep painting in the future, and it was always his idea to enter the Academy of Fine Arts. When Xu Rui was touching his pockets and was about to write something to answer Tao Yiying, Lin Zhi interrupted suddenly. He looked at Xu Rui and said, "No, Rui Rui doesn't study fine arts. In the future, he will be admitted to business school and study finance-related majors."

There was a sudden silence in the living room again, Tao Yiying looked away from Xu Rui and looked at Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi looked back without hesitation.

"Why don't you ask Xu Rui's opinion for such an idea?" Tao Yiying's slender brows were filled with displeasure.

Tao Chenyi sighed silently, as if trying to smooth things over: "Yes, Lin Zhi, everyone knows that Xu Rui likes to draw, why do you..."

"My opinion is Xu Rui's opinion." Lin Zhi said decisively.

His eyes fell on Xu Rui, and his eyes became soft for a moment: "The studio at home will always be reserved for you. If you want to paint, you can continue to paint after winter and summer vacations. Can it be a hobby?"

Xu Rui listened to Lin Zhi's decision, and before he could speak, Lin Zhi continued to talk about his arrangement: "I have already contacted some teachers, and from tomorrow until before the college entrance examination, they will come to your home to help you with your homework. I have already selected a few for you, and you can choose from them when the time comes."

"He didn't say he agreed!" Tao Yiying's anger kept rising when she heard him make such a calculation. Xu Rui might not be able to react, but Tao Chenyi and Tao Yiying had already begun to faintly notice Lin Zhi. future plans.

At the moment when Tao Yiying's voice fell like this, Xu Rui suddenly nodded in full view.

He completely trusts Lin's pheasant, and will obey the arrangements made by Lin's pheasant, because he grew up under the arrangement of Lin's pheasant since he was a child.

All these things happened too suddenly, and the timing was exquisite.

The marriage relationship between Tao Yiying and Lin Qinsheng has always existed in name only. The commercial benefits and cooperation brought about by the marriage of the two families have gradually become marginalized in these years as Tao Yingze's position in the Tao family has been gradually marginalized. Weak and slowly shrinking.

Now that Tao Yiying is married to Lin Qinsheng, she would extend her hand to the Tao family. On the surface, it would be a little ugly, but what if one day the Tao family could fall into Tao Chenyi's hands?

Tao Chenyi has the ability and means, but he is too ruthless in doing things. As a pusher, Lin Zhi will make all this much smoother.

Moreover, Lin Zhi and Xu Rui could be separated. Tao Yiying felt that the excessively intimate contact between his son and Lin Qinsheng's adopted child had become a thing of the past when he learned what the maid at home had said that day. became a big problem.

She can't understand Lin Zhi's temperament very well, but Xu Rui is different. Xu Rui is a simple person who can be seen at a glance. He and Lin Zhi are inseparable now, even sleeping on the same bed when they are eighteen or nineteen Because he has never lived a life without Lin Zhi's side, he doesn't understand what children of this age should know, he is subconsciously controlled by Lin Zhi's too deeply, and he can only have a true self if he is separated from Lin Zhi for a period of time .

Tao Yiying thought that what she had made was a plan that had the best of both worlds. When Lin Zhi went abroad, she would let Tao Chenyi, including Lin Zhi's grandparents, watch over Lin Zhi and not let him come back easily. After five months, Xu Rui left the state where Lin Zhi was in control, so he should understand the mistake between him and Lin Zhi.

Tao Yiying didn't pay attention to it carefully at first, but in the conversation in the living room today, she didn't expect that the relationship between Xu Rui and Lin Zhi would be in this way.

Such a plan for the future, and on the one hand, he has insisted on his hobby for almost ten years, but when Lin Zhi put forward such a difficult situation, it can be said that he did not respect other people's requirements at all, he affirmed it without thinking, even Not even a moment to think and hesitate.

Tao Yiying was now walking to the front of the Lin family's stage, and she had a lot of things to deal with. She left after the conversation where everyone except Xu Rui had their own agendas.

Lin Zhi looked at the back of his mother leaving, and couldn't help cursing: "It's really a crazy woman who doesn't want to see other people's happiness."

His mother is so opposed to him taking Xu Rui to go abroad together and is so anxious to let him go, maybe he has noticed something, because according to Tao Yiying's temperament, she doesn't have so much time to take care of his affairs, unless Lin Zhi does something very special Stepping on her bottom line is very outrageous.

But Tao Yiying used his equity in the Lin family in exchange for helping Tao Chenyi fight for the Tao family's property, and Lin Zhi really couldn't make a foolproof decision.

That night, Lin Zhi started to pack his luggage, and said with a bit of sadness in his mouth: "It's a pity that our Ruirui has just fallen in love and turned into a long-distance relationship."

Talking like this, he folded a set of Xu Rui's pajamas in the closet and stuffed them into his suitcase. When Xu Rui saw it, he hurried to pull it out, with a look of shame and indignation on his face.

Lin Zhi frowned, as if he wanted to criticize him: "Don't be so stingy, okay? I left you a closet of my clothes, so that when you miss me, you can..."

Before Lin Zhi finished speaking, Xu Rui covered Lin Zhi's mouth vigilantly, not wanting to hear those blushing words from Lin Zhi's mouth.

Lin Zhi stretched out his hand to pull him away from covering his hand, and then smiled: "But don't worry, I will fly back once a week, and I will come back once every half a month at the latest." He leaned over and lightly kissed Xu Rui's face. Pecked a bit: "I came back secretly, I won't let Tao Yiying find out."

The kiss was so light and fast that Xu Rui didn't have time to dodge it, Lin Zhi immediately got up and left, wandering around the bedroom like a bee, and complaining softly in his mouth: "From now on, when Rui Rui is thundering and raining, no one will cover his ears." gone."

Xu Rui sat aside and said nothing. He thought he was almost nineteen now, and he was not afraid of thunder at all, but this kind of explanation was a bit inappropriate here, so he fell silent for a long time.

But after all, he and Lin Zhi have not been separated for more than a day since they were young, and the upcoming parting still makes him feel a little depressed.

Xu Rui's low mood didn't last long, and soon another mood hit his sleepy brain, which came from a message before going to bed.

Lin Zhi's plane was at eight o'clock in the morning, and he needed to go to the airport in advance. Before he left at six o'clock, he walked to Xu Rui's pillow to say goodbye to Xu Rui.

He said: "Ruirui, I'm leaving, do you want to see me off?"

Xu Rui closed his eyes and did not speak.

Lin Zhi did not give up and said: "Rui Rui, shall we get married when you graduate from university?" Lin Zhi glanced at every inch of Xu Rui's face: "I don't think anyone can separate us. After I go abroad, you Remember to send me a message every day, and I will make a video call to you when I am free."

After this paragraph was finished, Lin Zhi stopped talking and was silent for a few seconds before reaching out and pulling Xu Rui's hand out of the blanket, and then Xu Rui felt something was attached to his thumb.

After that, there was a kiss close to the lips. Lin Zhi pulled away slightly, his voice was a little colder than before, he looked at Xu Rui's trembling eyelashes, and the eyeballs moved under his eyelids.

"Why pretend to be asleep?" It was time for him to go out, Lin Zhi leaned close to his ear and whispered: "After getting off the plane, I want to see your apology message."

Lin Zhi left, Xu Rui heard the sound of the door closing, and then he suddenly opened his eyes, he took out the phone from under the pillow, the phone's screen was still on the text message that Lu Xinyuan sent him yesterday.

She said: "Xu Rui, after the college entrance examination, would you like to try with me?"

Xu Rui recalled again that afternoon when the girl appeared against the light in his field of vision, with blushing cheeks sliding upwards, he and Lu Xinyuan had chatted for many days.

Lu Xinyuan became another person in his friend list besides Lin Zhi who made him respond to every share he shared.

He quit this page suddenly, then clicked on the dialog box with Lin Zhi and sent a "I'm sorry."

Then he backed out and replied "OK" to Lu Xinyuan.
