Warm breakfast

  Sometimes it's not difficult to distinguish whether someone is telling the truth or lying.

  Xia Zhu quietly watched Lin Yuanxi's sister until the woman thoughtfully smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello."

  Her smile was very formalized, but also didn't make people feel annoyed, obviously a noblewoman who had been trained in the business world for many years, Xia Zhu felt inferior to her.

  "Hello." Xia Zhu smiled and handed it over.

  "The woman's hand didn't pull back, she kept staring at Xia Zhu with a scrutinizing gaze."

  This time, Xia Zhu thoroughly felt the woman's hostility. She slightly turned her head to glance at Lin Yuanke, who furrowed his brow and pulled Xia Zhu's hand back a step: "It's getting late."

  "Oh?" The woman was apparently somewhat surprised by Lin Yuan's defense, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Zhu for a moment, then thoughtfully looked at Lin Yuan: "You two..."

  "It's time to eat," said Lin Yuanxi. "When it's time for me to go back, I will go back on my own, Lin Yuan Nian."

  Lin Yuan is thinking... Xia Zhu thought, the name sounds gentle, but the person gives a more overbearing feeling.

  Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly, as if it was difficult for her to maintain her composure, but in the end she still raised her head proudly and nodded: "I'll wait for your return."

  Lin Yuanxi did not answer again, from start to finish, he held Xia Zhu's hand tightly, as if it was a kind of persistence.

  Xia Zhu could feel Lin Yuan's hostility, his hostility was like an inexplicable entity that materialized and lingered in the air, refusing to disperse.

  Xia Zhu didn't care about other people's thoughts, but for some reason, he felt a bit uncomfortable. It wasn't until Lin Yuan walked away that he finally looked up at Lin Yuan. The man's mouth was slightly pursed, and his expression was not pleasant. This made Xia Zhu feel like he had reached the tip of his tongue.

  swallowed it back again

  "Far away?"

  Her voice was warm and gentle, causing Lin Yuan to pause slightly.

  It's rare to hear Xia Zhu's voice, with a warm and pleasant name, but her personality is actually very stubborn. At this moment, Xia Zhu's tone was more concerned, making Lin Yuan almost feel honored.

  "Nothing..." Lin Yuanxiao silently let go of Xia Zhu's hand and slightly nodded: "Let's go."

  Xia Zhu didn't know about Lin Yuanqi and Lin Yuanni's past, but subconsciously felt that his world wasn't simple either.

  She had never heard Lin Yuanlie and his family make a phone call, not even the most basic greetings.

  He locked himself in a big cage, he has his own world, no need for others to speak.

  Such a Lin Yuanxi, introverted but not lonely, living well in his own world, is also not a bad thing.

  After finishing dinner, Xia Zhu got up to answer a phone call, then looked at Lin Yuanbo in front of him: "I want to ask for a leave tomorrow."

  Lin Yuanxu's action of wiping the corner of his mouth paused slightly: "I need a reason."

  Just as Xia Zhuang was about to speak, Lin Yuan raised his head and slightly raised an eyebrow: "I think I know... visiting?"

  "Uh, that's right." Xia Zhu didn't ask how this person knew, but with Lin Yuan's meticulous habits, she estimated that her entire situation had been figured out by this person from the first day she arrived. She explained: "The prison called, tomorrow is..."

  Visiting Day

  Lin Yuanji quietly looked at Xia Zhu, and after a while, he nodded slightly: "Good."

  He silently drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea that clears heat and fire, saying slowly: "I'm with you."

  Xia Zhu was startled by him and hastily shook her head: "Nothing's wrong, no need, I can go myself."

  Lin Yuan quietly looked at her, his gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making Xia Zhu feel inexplicably embarrassed: "What's wrong..."

  "There's nothing," Lin Yuan said calmly: "When you came, I thought of something."

  The Sichuan restaurant was bustling with noise, but this table was unusually quiet. The dishes had gone cold, and the two people sat opposite each other, both with calm expressions.

  "What's wrong?" Xia Zhu calmed down and felt that she could more or less guess Lin Yuanbai's meaning.

  "It's simple," Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Are you here for revenge?"

  Xia Zhu quietly pinched the tablecloth, her expression unchanged, but her heart was silently thumping.

  So many chaotic and pale days flashed by in memory, finally turning into the despair and confusion of losing both parents. At that time, she was just a young girl who had just grown up, but was forced to bear the pain of her father killing her mother.

  Sometimes Xia Zhu felt that she might have hated Lin Yuanxi in the past. Even if what he said was right, such a scumbag of a father, what's the point of him coming here?

  But still can't compare with the loneliness of having a room all to oneself on those deep and quiet nights.

  When Xia Zhu remembered, Lin Yuanxi lowered his eyebrows and quietly drank tea. After a while, he saw Xia Zhu raise her head: "I don't hate you."

  Unconsciously, Xia Zhu's title changed again.

  Lin Yuanxi looked at her, and then heard Xia Zhu shake her head: "What you said is right……" Her breathing was rapid, but her tone was calm: "If one were to live a lifetime in a happy lie, it's better to bravely break through it."

  Lin Yuanxu remained silent, listening intently. Xia Zhu raised her head to look at Lin Yuanxu, her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, forming a gentle smile: "So I choose to believe you."

  "Just now's words......" Lin Yuanxi's expression was puzzled and dissatisfied: "Was it me who said that?"

  Xia Zhu didn't understand Lin Yuan's sulking, but also honestly shook his head: "I thought so myself."

  "Artistic but without any substantial meaning," Lin Yuanxi commented: "At that time, your father was very depressed. If he had been allowed to continue, perhaps the next victim would have been you."

  "Thank you," she said with a smile that was completely relieved: "You didn't tell me that."

  Leave me with just a little bit of fantasy, fantasizing that perhaps that happy family really existed.

  "Let's go." Lin Yuanbo paid the bill and handed it over to Xia Zhu.

  He performed this action with ease and habit, but Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Thank you."

  "No need." Lin Yuanqi raised his head impatiently, seemingly not too fond of this small talk.

  Xia Zhu suddenly realized that Lin Yuan's way of speaking was very similar to Lin Yuan Nian, both were arrogant and distant, but for some reason, when it came to Lin Yuan Nian, it became an aura that made people dare not approach, while on Lin Yuan Ke's body,

  ...all that's left is an unobjectionable childishness.

  Xia Zhu thought for a hundred times but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

  The next morning, Xia Zhu went downstairs and saw Lin Yuanbo sitting at the table: "Good morning."

  She was startled by Lin Yuanxi because someone's upper body was fully dressed, with a normal face color, solemnly as if attending an important international conference.

  The sudden drop in atmosphere made Xia Zhu stunned for a while before she recovered, looked at Lin Yuan for a moment, and then rubbed her eyes: "...... Early, why are you dressed like this?"

  Lin Yuanxi looked at Xia Zhu for a moment and nodded slightly: "I need you to do something."

  Typical Lin Yuan's tone, it's not that I want to ask you for a favor, but rather a simple and straightforward sentence...

  I need you to do something for me.

  "You said." Xia Zhu said as she prepared to make two cups of coffee.

  Lin Yuanxi had a habit of drinking freshly ground coffee in the morning, and also had a simple breakfast with steamed eggs. However, when Xia Zhuo walked over, she only then realized that two portions of breakfast were already laid out on the table, looking not too shabby despite being plain.

  It's fine now. Xia Zhu slightly paused and raised her eyes to look over: "Did you do it?"

  "If you think toast can fly down from the sky and spread chocolate sauce on its own, then maybe it's not me." Lin Yuanxi habitually sneered, thought for a moment, and then awkwardly rubbed his nose tip: "Let's eat."

  Coffee is almost ready, which doesn't fit Lin Yuan's usual style. Xia Zhu becomes more worried as she wonders if this is the last breakfast.

  Isn't it too late for regrets now?

  Xia Zhu drank coffee with a bitter face, while turning over in her mind to think of the reason.

  Before long, the dishes were spotless, and Xia Zhu gazed past them with a "Well, what is it?"

  Lin Yuan's face was gloomy and didn't look good.

  "This made Xia Zhu even more worried: 'Is there a big case?'"

  "That's why I'm overjoyed," Lin Yuanxi put down his cup and said lightly: "Clothes."

  "Huh?"

  "Pick out a set of clothes for me, I'm going to prison with you." Lin Yuan added impatiently, furrowing his brow.

  Xia Zhu felt like she was going to be stunned, she just stared blankly at Lin Yuan for a while, then suddenly jumped up: "Oh oh oh good."

  She didn't know why Lin Yuan wanted to go to prison with her to see her father, but she vaguely remembered that when she was a child, her father had liked this clever boy very much. The day he was exposed for murdering his wife was the day her father had invited Lin Yuan to come and play at their home.

  Xia Zhu saw for the first time the almost perfect boy her father had told her about.

  Xia Zhu ran to the stairs and then remembered to come back and collect the dinner plates, putting them all in the cart. Before she could take a few steps, Lin Yuanbo said from behind her, "Put it there, I'll push it later."

  Xia Zhu was shocked...

  Something is absolutely wrong today!

  "You... want to go wash dishes?" This kind of thing that doesn't conform to Lin Yuan's habits, no matter how you listen to it, sounds like a fairy tale!

  Lin Yuan's eyebrows flickered with a hint of unease: "Put it there."

  "Then I'll go wash my hands." Xia Zhu nodded and thought that the bathroom was still upstairs, so she decided to go to the kitchen to wash her hands.

  Lin Yuanxi suddenly stood up and stood in front of her, handing over a wet towel with an expression that was almost cold enough to swallow people: "What else do you want?!"

  "......I don't want anything anymore."

  "Alright," Lin Yuanqi finally smiled slightly with satisfaction: "Now, go pick out clothes, thank you."

  Taking advantage of Lin Yuanxi's distraction, Xia Zhu made a quick dash for the kitchen.

  It looks normal, no need to cover it up.

  Huh? How did the trash can get full?

  Xia Zhu opened the overflowing trash can——

  Pffft, a big pile of burnt toast, a miserable fried egg and even a small bag of coffee beans lay inside.

  "I thought there was nothing to..." Lin Yuan's voice had just fallen when Xia Zhu hastily closed the trash can, holding back a smile: "Sorry, clothes, I understand."

  Lin Yuanqi raised an eyebrow.

  Xia Zhu smiled and said: "From now on, I'll take care of such small matters, however..."

  She turned back on the stairs with a genuine and pleasant smile: "Yuan Qi, thank you."

  Lin Yuan's furrowed eyebrows finally relaxed, and he silently glanced at the trash can, feeling that the pile of things didn't seem so unbearable after all.
