Lin Family's Young Master

  "A Li, look what you said, I was thinking of you too." It can't be denied that the young master of the Lin family has a pretty good voice.

  "I'm in Guizhou now." I replied vaguely as I poured the porridge from the bowl into my mouth.

  "Guizhou? What are you going there for?" Lin Jia Gongzi was very surprised.

  "Come and catch the ghost." I said it lightly, but I can already imagine that Young Master Lin on the other end of the phone had a chill run down his spine, perhaps he would need to calm down for a while.

  He paused for a moment before asking, "Where is Guizhou?"

  "Weng An."

  Lin Xiao was silent again, and Uncle had already settled the bill for breakfast, but Lin Xiao still couldn't utter a single word.

  "What's wrong, didn't Yuan An hear about it?" Or did I speak too early, Guizhou may be a place that he only knew when studying geography, and for Shanghai people, it is a remote and poor place. But how would he know the name of an even smaller place?

  "Hmm, actually, I've never heard of it." Lin Xiao finally spoke up.

  "That's natural, this place is small, you're a young master from big Shanghai, how would you know." I couldn't deny it, when I said that, I was being a bit sarcastic.

  Why?

  Because I still remember, it was when I was almost 9 years old that I came to Shanghai. At that time, I had never seen a big city before, the largest place I had ever been to was just the county town of Wuan County, covered in cow dung smell, wearing a pair of rotten slippers, and a floral dress made by Grandma Qin from scraps of cloth, a living, breathing little peasant.

  To put it in Ah Shu's words later on, it was like this.

  Look at you back then, apart from your appearance being passable, what else about you looked like a young lady?

  Uncle said so because I was naughty again, playing at the door of Uncle's house with that potted plant someone gave to Uncle, tore my pants and exposed my calf.

  Later, Uncle Ah took me to the mall again to buy new clothes. Even though I had been in Shanghai for a month, I was still very scared. In our rural village, there was never such prosperity.

  He and Lin Xiao had been at odds since childhood.

  That time at the mall, I ran into Lin Xiao Yi, the child of a wealthy family. He spoke to me and my old face turned red with shame, not daring to respond.

  He asked me my name, I looked left and right, afraid that he would eat me up, and finally managed to squeeze out two words with a red face.

  "Goodbye."

  After that time, Lin Xiao saw me being timid and thought it was boring. He very skillfully called out the names of the luxury brands he wanted and showed off in front of me.

  That was my first encounter with him!

  It's quite weird...

  I didn't start school until I was nine years old, but by the time I was not yet twenty, I had already graduated from university. This is not because I read fewer books, but because later on I became too powerful, and my class teacher actively found the principal and my uncle to ask for me to skip two grades, that is, directly from third grade to sixth grade.

  In the first half of my junior high school, I was particularly abnormal. In the first semester, I was still in the classroom of junior high school, and in the second semester, I sat in the classroom of grade one of senior high school. I didn't finish high school, but because of the recommendation of the head teacher of senior high school in my sophomore year, I directly entered the college entrance examination, and finally restored the most normal life for four years in university.

  When I was young, Uncle said it's because I'm not an ordinary person, my brain is more agile, and reading books doesn't take much effort. He wondered why the older I get, the clumsier my brain becomes.

  I don't understand either!

  In elementary school, I met Lin Xiao again. A male classmate in my class pointed at my spine and said to Lin Xiao, "I know that girl, she's a new student from our class, a country bumpkin."

  "Hey, little girl, what's the name of your village?" Lin Xiao, that bastard, stepped forward and blocked my way, asking me with a smirk on his face.

  I'm afraid of strangers, but I don't want them to laugh at me either. Qin Village is a rural area, but Wan'an County Town isn't, is it?

  The county town of Weng'an is where the rich people live, even if someone from Qin Village wants to go there, they only dare to go during holidays and festivals, it's considered a high-end place.

  "Alright." I lifted my head and puffed out my chest, although when I was younger I didn't have much of a chest to puff out, but I had to make an effort anyway.

  Weng An...

  Because of these two words, Lin Xiao Yi and those boys in our class laughed so hard they were rolling on the floor.

  "Wan'an, hahaha, this girl is from Wan'an, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter." Lin Xiao held his belly and laughed loudly, then turned back to ask our classmates, "Have you guys heard of it? This place called Wan'an, have you guys heard of it?"

  "No, is it a big city? Or are they rural place names?"

  My classmates also didn't give me any face and burst out laughing together with Lin Xiao.

  When I was young, hearing how unbearable Wang An was in their eyes, I really felt wronged and wanted to cry, finally unable to control myself and bursting into tears, rushing home.

  After that, for half a year, I spent every day in the midst of Lin Xiao Yi's ridicule. At that time, I was afraid to go to school and afraid to see Lin Xiao Yi.

  Everything in the world has its variables, such as Lin Xiao and I, this pair of enemies, he looked down on me so much back then.

  In high school, Lin Xiao Yi was already a head taller than me. As a young master from Shanghai, I had already blossomed into a slender and elegant beauty, a youthful and beautiful girl with a goddess-like aura.

  When I was blocked by those rich young masters, it was Lin Xiao who saved me. He was beaten up by others and smiled at me with a bloody nose.

  President, take it easy on goodbyes

  "Don't worry, I'm here."

  His transformation was so great that he used to mock me as a rural girl, but at this moment, he has already helped me out of trouble. I am very grateful to Lin Xiao Yi.

  He no longer mocks me, and when I see him, I say thank you. As time goes by, he often appears in front of me. I don't like Lin Xiao Yi, it's true. Even if he tries to make me happy with his tricks every day, I still can't bring myself to like him.

  Even started to avoid him, it was because later on, after I went to university, my former classmate and he were sworn brothers, a rich young master who blocked my way.

  "Hey, forget about it, those things from before were just childish misunderstandings, don't take them to heart."

  He looked at me, his former classmate, and hesitated, leaving me somewhat perplexed, then turned around and walked away.

  "It's really a farewell, don't take it to heart." He caught up with me again and said as he stepped back.

  "What's up, speak up." After entering university, I spoke with full confidence, not because I was excellent, but because everyone knew that I was the daughter of the Qin Yuanyang family.

  Qin Yuyang is a spiritual person, a superstar who has received media attention, the daughter of such a fiery figure, everyone must give way three points, even if she is an adopted daughter.

  "Lin Xiao Yi likes you." My classmate, right on this pedestrian path, threw me this sentence and turned around to run away. He's Lin Xiao Yi's buddy, Lin Xiao Yi, that rich kid with a thicker face than the corner of a city wall back then, now wants to pursue a girl but doesn't dare to confess himself.

  I smiled and went back home, I couldn't love him because after An Linglong appeared, I started to feel sad, sad that Uncle had a fiancée, a soon-to-be-married fiancée.

  Oh! It seems like we've gone off topic, let's get back on track.

  "That's natural, this place is small, you're a big shot from Shanghai, how would you know." On the phone, I spoke to Lin Xiao like that because he looked down on me back then and I had been holding a grudge against him.

  "Heh heh, Ah Li..." Lin Xiao Yi laughed over the phone.

  "Qīn lí." I corrected again.

  "A Li, at that time, wasn't I still young and ignorant? So many years have passed, you also know what I'm like to you." The young master of the Lin family said this, and I burst out laughing.

  Actually, I was just being stubborn, I didn't say anything wrong about Young Master Lin's family, and I wouldn't take it to heart and get angry with him.

  Since he can't change the habit of calling me A Li, I'm even more lazy to correct him, because even if I correct him, at most it will only make him never forget my surname.

  My surname is Jun, and I have a single character given name of Li, Uncle Ah said that's what my name is, so that's what it is!

  He asked me, "What are you doing in Wengan?"

  "Hey, Lin Xiao Yi, I've come to Wuan, don't I need to report to you too?" I raised my voice and looked up to see Uncle's gaze, scanning the surroundings. In Shanghai, at home, I was already used to speaking loudly with the young master of the Lin family.

  But here's the difference. In someone else's store, a young couple happened to walk in and my attention was drawn to them, I almost forgot what I was saying.

  "A Li, A Li, is your signal bad over there?" Lin Xiao's voice called me back from the couple.

  "Ah! Nothing, I'm just eating something." I stammered vaguely in response.

  "Then you wait for me there, anyway I've been free lately and want to find a place to play around." Lin Xiao Yi said casually on the phone, but I knew he was just pretending to be casual.

  That young couple, in their early twenties, were as sweet as sugar, sticking together, and even when it came to deciding what to eat, they would discuss it together.

  His gaze was drawn back to them once again.

  My uncle, who is like a foster father to me and sixteen years my senior, has a fiancée and the one he loves. He acts decisively and never procrastinates, unlike me, who often loses things and hesitates in making decisions.

  My personality and Uncle's are worlds apart, to sum it up, that is to say I'm not worthy of Uncle, no matter if Uncle has me in his heart or not, but I always feel so insignificant in front of him.

  My name is Junli, and I have a deep sense of inferiority that makes me feel like I'm not worthy of the man named Qin Yuanyang.

  I turned back to look at Uncle Ah, and my nose began to sour. Uncle Ah, this man I love, who will you belong to?

  If I don't marry you, even if you've already married someone else, can I still stay by your side, like a foster daughter?

  I almost forgot about the phone call, as long as I have Uncle Ah, I can forget anything, including my conversation with Lin Jia Gongzi.

  He fed it for half a day.

  "Oh! I haven't finished eating yet." After a long time, I gave an irrelevant answer to Lin family's young master.

  "A Li, I'm telling you to wait for me at Wan An." It seems that Lin Xiao Yi has made up his mind.

  "If you're bored, go travel to a familiar place. In ten minutes, I'll leave here with my uncle." After finishing speaking, he hastily hung up the phone. The only thing left was Lin Xiao's two "ai" sounds, and then there was no further conversation.

  "Let's go." Not wanting Uncle to notice my loss of composure, I picked up Xiaobai and smiled at him.

  Just at that moment when Uncle Ah turned around, I wanted to go forward and hug him, with my cheek tightly attached to his back, feeling the warmth of his body temperature.

  Just like this, for all eternity...
