Lin Gezhi was walking back and forth in the corridor, feeling somewhat anxious. If he had been so uneasy in the past, he would definitely go to the room on the sixth floor, knock on the door, and have a long talk with his stern but sharp brother Lin Xinzhi, who could immediately solve his confusion.
But Lin Xinzhi was gone. He disappeared to nowhere, just like the remaining snow in spring, as if he had never existed. In his place was Lin Zike, who could only smile gently and was very clueless.
Lin Gezhi felt disgusted and helpless. His identity was awkward, and his reputation was damaged because of an unreliable father. He was always prejudiced against and was completely a nobody with no say.
Only Lin Xinzhi believed in Lin Gezhi's character and encouraged him to work hard. This made Lin Gezhi look forward to achieving something under the leadership of this big brother with a very broad vision.
But now that the Wolf of the North has been replaced by the Husky, it is simply wishful thinking to expect that Lin Zike to use me. He is thankful that he does not guard against me like a thief. Moreover, Lin Zike has indeed been on guard against me. The relationship between the two of them only maintains a superficial politeness.
"Oh... what bad luck……"Looking at the bright moon floating in the sky, Ling Gezhi muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was lamenting his embarrassing life experience or his confused future.
"How can a young man learn to sigh like a middle-aged man?"A boastful voice interrupted Lin Gezhi's melancholy, and his father Lin Baoyu suddenly appeared with a frivolous smile.
Lin Gezhi sniffed subconsciously and found that the reason he didn't notice his cheap father was because he no longer smelled of alcohol and his clothes were more energetic, but the atmosphere of a prodigal son still existed.
"Father……"Even though he was unwilling, Lin Gezhi had to bow his head and greet Lin Baoyu. Respecting elders was a rule ingrained in him since he was a child, and he would never give a bad face because of personal prejudice.
"Don't be so polite between father and son. Why are you sighing? Gezhi, is it because of Zike's matter?"Lin Baoyu, as usual, was quite unfeigned and asked him to excuse himself. At the same time, he was perceptive and said what his son was thinking.
After hearing his father's question, Lin Gezhi was stunned. Although in the eyes of the world, Lin Baoyu was a second-generation ancestor who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and was unrestrained, even his mother was affected by this and left the Lin family with his unborn sister.
And it is said that the grandmother's expectation for this youngest son was only not to touch gambling and drugs, but after many years of getting along with his son, Lin Gezhi could still feel the talent and vision of this cheap father. He always felt that he wanted to cover up something, but every time he wanted to ask something, he would laugh it off and turn away.
"Yes, it is inappropriate for cousin Zi Ke to not come home so late.……"But no matter how much dissatisfaction he had in his heart, facing Lin Zike, who was his elder brother, Lin Gezhi could only use this excuse of admonishing his morals. This was the suppression of status.
After all, it was well known that the old lady favored the direct descendants. Lin Gezhi did not dare to offend her, but when Lin Xinzhi was around, he had all the abilities and conduct. In addition to his good job, his academic ability was also at a monster level. He had already been booked for a place in an Ivy League school.
He was naturally convinced, but it was really annoying to have Lin Zike, this useless person. This was probably the reason why Lin Qingxue dissolved the marriage. But when he thought of his handsome face and his aggrieved look, Lin Gezhi felt a little comforted.
"Just like his father... There's nothing we can do. Who told the old lady to be so partial? She's so partial... It makes people despair.……"Lin Baoyu also turned sideways, looked at the bright moon, and sighed the same as his son.
He had understood this truth since he was a child. No matter how Lin Xuemei pampered him and indulged him, it was the treatment of the youngest son. His mother's heart and soul would always be his eldest brother's family.
No matter how hard Lin Baoyu tried, he was just a foil. It would be better to make himself live happily. Of course, all this changed after his eldest brother eloped for love and died unexpectedly.
Lin Baoyu saw a glimmer of hope, and deliberately took the helpless Lin Xinzhi from the orphanage with his second brother Lin Zhongxin, who had the same idea, and replaced the prince with a cat. The real prince Lin Zike was entrusted to a couple who could not have children and needed to adopt, and was given a sum of money for support.
Originally, he wanted to use this relationship to hold Lin Xinzhi hostage and gain power in the future. He didn't expect that this orphan was so capable and almost inherited the old lady's skills, making himself and his second brother feel unable to control him.
So he had to find the real prince to remedy the situation. Fortunately, Lin Zike inherited his father's romanticism but not his ability. This made Lin Baoyu feel that the situation was just as he expected.
The only surprise was that Lin Xinzhi somehow saw through the arrangement. Not only did he successfully escape, but he also got a lot of gold coins. Feeling the death threat brought by him that day, he still felt a little scared.
But now, Lin Baoyu feels that his son has begun to feel dissatisfied. He thinks it is time for him to become an adult. He has always been an obedient child, but he can only eat candy but not meat.
"Stop talking about annoying things, come on! Ge Zhi! Have a drink?"Father Lin Baoyu showed a bad look, took out the beer in his arms, and wanted his son to drink with him.
""Father! You!" Ling Gezhi was somewhat shocked by his father's unreasonable behavior. He was a bad guy for persuading him to drink alcohol when he was underage. Besides, he didn't want to break the rules. If his grandmother knew, her opinion of him would decline.
"What are you afraid of? You will drink it sooner or later anyway, and even if the old lady knew, she wouldn't care.……"Lin Baoyu naturally knew what his good son was thinking, and with a mocking sneer, he told him to face the reality. The biased old lady would not pay attention to him because of this.
"Ah!"Tears welled up in Lin Gezhi's eyes as he was hurt by his father's words. Even if he didn't admit it, Lin Baoyu was telling the truth. No matter how he behaved, he would not be taken seriously by Lin Xuemei.
Lin Baoyu began to stare at his son seriously. Although it was cruel, the first thing to do as an adult was to recognize the reality. He had done what he should do. Next, he should let this kid take on his responsibilities.
"Cough cough cough……"
Wheat juice was still a bit choking for Ling Gezhi. After drinking the bitter liquid, he finally understood why his father Lin Baoyu was addicted to alcohol. When people are depressed, drinking this stuff can really make them feel better.
""Slow down, you'll choke if you drink this way, eat some meat to fill your stomach." The long-lost interaction between father and son made Lin Baoyu in a very good mood. Seeing Lin Gezhi drinking a can of beer in one go, he couldn't help but ask him to slow down and gave him a piece of beef with chopsticks.
The two of them were now on the rooftop of the Lin family. Because Lin Baoyu often had a drink here at night, this place was considered his territory. Now that the night wind was blowing, he and Lin Gezhi, father and son, were having a long-lost parent-child exchange under the moonlight.
Lin Gezhi, whose defense was severely broken by his father, finally complained viciously and vomited bitter water under the intoxication of alcohol. Lin Baoyu listened quietly, finally accepting his son's confession like a father.
"When I was young, I often wondered why my elder brother could have everything while I could only serve as his foil.……"When Lin Gezhi finished drinking the bitter water, Lin Baoyu spoke faintly, drinking the beer that had just been uncorked.
Although his taste buds had been damaged by years of strong alcohol, drinking this wheat juice was like drinking water, but he could still taste the bitter taste, just like his own life. Lin Gezhi looked at his father with a completely different atmosphere, and for the first time he seriously wanted to listen to his words.
"Later I realized that some things cannot be changed, even your grandmother has to submit to it.……"Lin Baoyu continued his speech, telling the truth he had learned over the years.
He thought that his future was hopeless, so he might as well start a business. However, as he grew older, he also understood the helplessness of his mother Lin Xuemei. In this environment, people are helpless.
"But you are different, Gezhi. You have much more potential for me. Do you want to be inferior to others all your life?"But looking at this son who made him proud, Lin Baoyu patted Lin Gezhi's still tender shoulders heavily. He had already been like this, so he naturally didn't want his descendants to endure the same grievances.
So he wanted to ignite the fire in Lin Gezhi's heart, the unyielding wildfire and ambition. Only when people are unwilling and angry will they have the motivation to move forward and the desire to rise above. Lin Baoyu has already obtained some power. What to do next is Lin Gezhi's responsibility.
"I... don't want to be stepped on by others for the rest of my life!" Finally, under the hypnosis of alcohol and the���At last, Lin Gezhi spoke out his deepest thoughts. He didn't want to be someone else's green season, and didn't want to be stepped on by someone who relied on bloodline to get to the top. But because he was too excited and it was his first time drinking, Lin Gezhi fainted after he finished speaking.
"Really, you'll catch a cold if you sleep here.……"Lin Baoyu looked at his son who was not able to hold his liquor helplessly. He covered him with a blanket and stroked his son's head while continuing to drink alone. After all, the night was very beautiful and many good things were beginning to happen. He was waiting for his friend far away to give him good news.
"Are you ready, Linyi, you finally took this step~" The phone vibrated, Lin Baoyu opened it, looked at the message sent by his old friend, commented happily, and took a big sip of beer. For him, this was the best appetizer.
As long as the day after tomorrow, this old friend can succeed and completely overthrow the superior, he will have a solid backer. Of course, Lin Baoyu also took out a large investment and prepared to share a piece of the pie. Regardless of this, things have been going well recently.
"Cheers to a better tomorrow!"Lin Baoyu raised his glass and saluted the moon. Nothing could make him happier than the realization of his ambitions. He had endured for so many years, and it was time to let out his anger.
…………
The moon finally rose to the middle of the sky, and the annoying work was almost finished. Lin Qingxue covered Lin Lianyan, who was tired and fell asleep, with a quilt, and then sat by the window drinking milk alone.
Endless loneliness filled her body and mind. Lin Qingxue wanted a warm hug to nourish herself, but only the cold moonlight responded to her, accompanied by the cool night breeze.
Lin Qingxue suddenly remembered that in the past, at ten o'clock every night, no matter how tired she was, Lin Xinzhi would make her a cup of hot milk with honey, and smiled as he watched her drink it before leaving.
Now think about it, after drinking the milk and sleeping comfortably, I can't imagine how Lin Xinzhi, who has to work and study until late at night, survived this lonely night? Especially how he lived after being kicked out of the Lin family.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue burst into tears again, blaming herself for not realizing these things earlier and disappointing the people who really loved her again and again.
"I miss you so much, Xinzhi." Lin Qingxue talked to the moon about her feelings and love. She didn't know when she would be able to meet him again, and how long she would have to endure this loneliness. At the same time, Lin Qingxue was also worried that Lin Xinzhi was also experiencing the pain of this loneliness.……
…………
"ah~"
"Really! It’s just out of the pot! Wait, let me blow on it, be careful of the burns!"
Li Xinzhi was hugging Ji Qingjue's waist from behind, asking for food from his girlfriend like a spoiled child. Ji Qingjue was stirring the freshly cooked beef stew, somewhat annoyed at the greedy cat's anxiety, but still picked a large piece of meat, blew on it to warm it up, and fed it to him.
After just admitting their relationship, Li Xinzhi and Ji Qingjue did not spend the day in a tangle, but after cleaning up the messy scene of their first night, they did the housework and tidied the room together.
After all, Li Xinzhi���Ji Qingjue and I are both busy people. In addition, Li Xinzhi was injured a few days ago and Nangong Nuoya moved in, so the environment is a bit messy. Today is a good day off, so the two of them cleaned up their shared home together.
After cleaning, it was time to cook. Ji Qingjue used the excuse that he hadn't cooked for a long time and strictly ordered Li Xinzhi not to interfere with his long-lost solo.
Of course, the little hedgehog also wanted to make a delicious dinner to thank Song Zhiyao and Nangong Nuoya for their help. The ingredients were naturally the delicious beef and seafood delivered to the door in the afternoon.
After Li Xinzhi helped set the table and cleaned up the back, he hugged Ji Qingjue who had just finished the main course. It should be said that it was the cooling off period after intimacy. Ji Qingjue was a little resistant to his contact today, which made Li Xinzhi a little dissatisfied. He urgently needed the little hedgehog's energy, but Ji Qingjue only resisted a little and then accepted it naturally.
"Delicious! Very delicious! Qingjue!"Feeling the rich gravy and perfect seasoning in his mouth, Li Xinzhi enthusiastically praised the cooking skills of Chef Ji.
"Haha~ So natural!" Ji Qingjue raised her nose a little proudly, accepting the compliment as a matter of course. Looking at this proud little hedgehog, Li Xinzhi suddenly had a desire to kiss him.
"Really, stop making trouble, Zhiyao and Senior are coming back... Just bear with it, we'll talk tonight……"Ji Qingjue saw through her boyfriend's ugly desire and hurriedly resisted him. After all, now was not the right time. She would talk about it later in the evening. Tonight was a good time to try out the secret weapon she bought yesterday.
"Okay, I'll set the table first!" Li Xinzhi felt that Ji Qingjue was right, so he kissed Ji Qingjue on the forehead and went to set the table. Of course, he was also afraid that Song Zhiyao would suddenly come in.
"Haha, it smells so good, I’m back!"
"Well, it must be Qingjue's work, I'm in for a treat tonight!"
Sure enough, just as the two of them separated, Song Zhiyao and Nangong Nuoya came back, carrying bags full of food, smelling the fragrance of the food, and praising with joyful expressions.
"Zhiyao, seniors, you are back?" Seeing the reliable partners come back, Ji Qingjue happily stepped forward to talk to them. There is nothing more joyful than seeing important people come back in time for dinner.
"Well, I'm back, Qingjue, please take the trouble to cook.……"Nangong Nuoya accepted the greeting politely, but her heart began to become complicated, because as a woman, she felt that Ji Qingjue and Li Xinzhi had crossed that line.
"It's okay, senior. If I can't stand this, I'm not qualified to accept this happiness.……"Ji Qingjue nodded, looking at Li Xinzhi who was busy arranging the tableware with Song Zhiyao, and said something meaningfully.
"Um, senior, I……"
""Okay, it's time to eat. We'll talk later!"
When Ji Qingjue mustered up the courage to tell Nangong Nuoya what was in her mind, Li Xinzhi's unromantic voice came, asking them to come over for dinner.
Ji Qingjue and Nangong Nuoya were stunned for a moment, then smiled at each other. They really fell in love with this troublesome man. But it was this straightforwardness of him that made them unable to extricate themselves.
"Let's eat first, Qingjue, this smell makes me a little hungry"
""Okay, senior!"
After the two smiled at each other, they sat down at the table together. The four people living in this annex, facing the food on the table and listening to the crackling sound of burning wood in the warm window, all felt very happy.
In a cold weather, everyone ate happily and chatted happily together, which made people happier than anything else.
Because everyone has a common home, no matter how much grievance they have suffered, they can heal their wounds.
Li Xinzhi, who felt that the loneliness in his heart was completely filled, read a thank-you speech with the other three people, thanking the chef and the food for their efforts, and then began a wonderful dinner time.
