The entangled Lin family little girl and the eight-hanged Lin family big brother

  When the sky was bright, Qin Feng finally fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, it was already broad daylight. He hurriedly got up and rushed to work. As expected, he was late today, but others thought he had gone somewhere else and didn't mind.

  Lin Pei got up when everyone in the house had already gone to work, drank a cup of milk and went back to bed for a nap. Of course, no one saw her two panda eyes.

  When Wen Jia made a phone call, he heard a weak and listless voice.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Didn't sleep well last night..."

  Lin Pei Pei lay on the bed, dully answering.

  "I was saying, don't be too harsh, you didn't listen, look, karma's here. Originally, I just wanted to call and ask if it would cause indigestion or if we should call an ambulance, well, no indigestion but mental breakdown instead... fine, sister instantly transforms into a trash can, whatever garbage can't be digested just dump it on me."

  Wen Jia taunted her with a poisonous tongue, but when she didn't hear Lin Peipei's voice for half a day, she became somewhat worried.

  "What's going on now..."

  "Nothing much, just a jumbled mess in my head..."

  "Related to Qin Feng?"

  "Not entirely... most of it, I suppose."

  Lin Pei Pei is very candid with her good friends.

  "I told you, I felt like I'd seen Qin Feng before when we first met, and after all the fuss it turned out he was that bean sprout from back then..."

  I said Wen Xiaoniang, you were also very young and tender at that time, but others are still older than you by several years, who is the tender one?

  "I remember him being very weak and thin when he was young, didn't expect him to grow up so well... Ah, Pei Pei, your bold words in the military compound were popular back then, everyone knew about it. Otherwise, do you think no one would have come to ask for your parents' permission to marry him over the years? It's not just because of your father's official position, is it? The people in this compound don't even need to be mentioned, let alone your father's old colleagues and subordinates back then. Didn't they all avoid coming here because of that one incident you caused? I'm telling you, girl, if you still have feelings for him, you'd better hurry up. He's a diamond-level bachelor wherever he goes, and there are many people in this compound who are eyeing him. Be careful not to get snatched away by some wolf-like woman one day, or you'll regret it."

  "I don't know..."

  Lin Peipei turned around and sat down with her legs bent and clasped together.

  "I'm not sure what my feelings for him are now, whether it's like the sibling affection I have for my brother or something beyond that. And I'm also unsure how he sees me, whether it's as a sister or something else. Both of these things are unclear to me, so my mind is very confused..."

  "Don't be uncertain, just go with the flow... What's the point of overthinking?! My wise words are: If it's meant to be mine, I won't miss it; if not, I won't force it. If he really has feelings for you, they'll show eventually. All you need to do is ask yourself when the time comes whether you want to accept him or not. And if you're certain about your own feelings and take the initiative to confess, girls chasing boys is just a thin layer of gauze - as long as he doesn't really dislike you, he'll accept it. Don't overthink it, listen to me, and those who believe in me will live forever!"

  Lin Pei Pei was amused by Wen Jian's tone, feeling much better, chatted a few more sentences before hanging up the phone, got out of bed and did some light exercises in her room, then walked into the bathroom to give herself a pep talk in front of the mirror.

  "Right! What's wrong with me? Who am I... Lin Peipei!"

  Lin Pei Pei deeply agrees with Wen Jia's wise words. If it's not one's own problem, there's no use crying out loud. Why bother racking one's brains over non-issues? What's meant to be faced will be faced anyway! Under this sky, it seems like nothing can stump Lin Pei Pei!

  With this mental construction completed, the energy value of the small universe suddenly surged upwards and directly burst through the top. When she came out of the bathroom, her whole body felt light and refreshing, with a greatly improved spirit.

  In the evening, Lin Haotian returned, and Qin Feng came back with him.

  Lin Pei Pei found it a bit strange that the two of them entered the house together. She had been back for several days and had some understanding of her brother's work, knowing that although they were in the same office, they worked in different directions, so it shouldn't be possible for them to come back together. But she didn't ask this small question, and instead calmly greeted Qin Feng before continuing to read her magazine with her head down.

  Qin Feng took a glance at Lin Peipei, not knowing what to say either, so he sat down beside her and began flipping through the newspaper.

  Wu Shulan, who was stir-frying in the kitchen, saw the two sitting silently through the small window and asked Lin Haotian, who had come in to steal food.

  "Didn't we say it was a thank-you dinner last night? You haven't made up yet? What's with this atmosphere?"

  Yesterday at noon, when I was having lunch with Wu Shulan in the hospital, Lin Haotian mentioned the morning's events to her. She also thought it wasn't a big deal and let the kids go, but now looking back, it seems like it wasn't that simple after all.

  "To be honest, I'm not very clear either, probably Peipei still has some unresolved issues in her heart..."

  Lin Haotian secretly lived in the living room, glanced around, and then leaned over to whisper something in his mother's ear.

  "Mom, I've got something to tell you... This morning, Qin Feng came late..."

  "Oh? What's special about it?"

  "Of course, it's special, he said he overslept, this kind of thing others can't say, in Qin Feng's case, that's not possible. If it was for work, he'd rather stay up all night, and these days there's nothing that requires him to pull an all-nighter, so there's only one possibility, he had insomnia! Connecting with last night's events, I can absolutely guarantee that last night he was because of Peipei's insomnia!"

  "Wow, I didn't expect Lin's older brother to have such a perverted side, and it's so enjoyable too!"

  "You didn't see Pepe going for a run when you went to work in the morning, huh? I guess it's probably the same thing. With my years of training and observational skills, I'd say these two are up to something fishy!"

  Lin Haotian's eyes lit up and he was beaming with joy.

  "Hmm, there's cat hair, and I see you have cat poop too."

  Wu Shulan looked at her son talking with such enthusiasm, twitched the corner of her mouth and threw a sanitary ball at him.

  "Not... mom, think about it, Peipei was really into Qin Feng back then, and even made that bold statement before leaving. Although she's grown up now, who knows, maybe she still has those thoughts, and these past few years, Qin Feng hasn't mentioned finding a girlfriend either. Could it be... that the two of them are still thinking about each other?"

  "Now that you mention it...it's not impossible, I like Qin Feng, this kid. I've always treated him as a half-son. Your Aunt Li had the same idea about Peipei back then, but they were too far apart and couldn't get in touch, so we didn't bring it up again. If it really happens, that would be great."

  Wu Shulan was somewhat moved by her son's words.

  "You think so too, I was thinking, what kind of boyfriend would make us feel at ease for Peipei, now it's settled, the perfect candidate is right under my nose, good things should be picked by one's own sister first."

  "But don't forget that Jin Ge, when he left back then, Pei Pei got drunk and even went to the hospital for him. Although it's been ten years since he left, who knows what she's thinking in her heart now? You'd better be careful, don't mess things up before you figure them out clearly. I don't want to see that, by then, not only will you not become a son-in-law, but also lose half of your life."

  Wu Shulan was persuaded by her son but still got vaccinated in advance after all, the palms and backs of hands are all flesh.

  "Rest assured, I'll take care of your son's affairs. You just need to give a nod or add some fuel when the time comes."

  Lin Pei Pei found her brother and mother whispering in the kitchen, occasionally glancing at her with their eyes. She was puzzled, muttered to herself, but didn't pay much attention. Unbeknownst to her, within these few minutes, her two closest family members had sold her out.

  Lin Haotian finally reached a consensus with his mother on his sister's lifelong matter, and turned to Lin Peipei who was still lowering her head to read the magazine.

  "Peipei, there's a parcel from France in my bag, go take a look... At first I thought it was sent to me and opened it, inside is a letter written in Martian script, and a check with several zeros on it, didn't take a close look, you see what it is..."

  "No way, bro... Are you sure it's in the bag?"

  Lin Pei Pei heard Lin Hao's words and rummaged through his bag.

  "Isn't there?... Ah... Maybe it's in your brother's bag."

  Lin Pei Pei raised her head and looked at Qin Feng. Qin Feng had a puzzled expression on his face as he took out his bag and rummaged through it.

  "Is it with me? When did you give it to me... Ah, it's with me."

  Qin Feng pulled out an EMS international express envelope from his bag and handed it to Lin Peipei.

  Lin Pei Pei took out the letter and check from inside, glanced at the number on the check, then looked at the letter a few more times before suddenly bursting into loud wails for her mom.

  Wu Shulan heard and thought something had happened, so she rushed out.

  "What's wrong? What?"

  "Mom, I've made a small fortune! This is a check from my teacher in France. He said that all the drafts I left with him have been sold, and one of the landscape paintings I did during our sketching trip to Milan was sold for a high price. This check is the money from selling those drafts, it's 200,000 yuan! Yes! I've struck it rich..."

  Lin Pei Pei was so happy that she jumped up and down like a little girl, waving her hands and feet, while Qin Feng put down the newspaper and sat there watching her with a smile.

  "Oh, you kid, what am I supposed to do? So startled and surprised... Oh no, my dish..."

  "Euros?"

  Lin Haotian leaned against the windowsill and asked in a lively tone.

  "That's right, F country is in the Eurozone."

  "Wow! At the current exchange rate of euros to RMB, this 200,000 is over 1 million RMB! This isn't just a small fortune, it's a huge fortune!"

  Lin Haotian was also a bit stunned by this number.

  "Mom, it seems that relying on Peipei to support us at home is hopeless now. She's a rich lady, why would she still want to rely on us?"

  "Who got rich?"

  As soon as Lin Hongjiang entered the door, he heard his son shouting loudly and couldn't help but join in.

  "Dad, I've struck it rich!"

  Lin Pei Pei followed closely behind, holding onto her father's arm with a flattering expression.

  "So, does that mean you won't rely on us anymore? Then your mom and I will just rely on your younger brother to support us, not expecting anything from you."

  Lin Hongjiang was having fun with his daughter.

  "Dad, don't say that, how can you abandon me? I'll rely on Peipei from now on."

  The despised Lin Hao Tian looked at his sister with a flattering expression.

  Lin Pei Pei gave him a defiant look and flew away, at this time Wu Shu Lan called everyone to dinner, and she put her arm around her father's arm and entered the dining hall.
