Chapter 86: Strong on the outside, but weak on the inside “But what Daddy said is, I’m…
"They all call me Charis, and I don't like that name."
Chi Liuai returned home and told Lin Zhun this. This name appeared in Chi Liuai's file after she entered school. Everyone around her called her Charis. Neighbors and professors all praised it as a nice name, taken from ancient Greek. Chi Liuai didn't understand, she just subconsciously resisted this name.
Because it is not an English name that I carefully selected.
Who was making the decision on his own? Chi Liuai would not allow his rights to be deprived.
So, the puppy needs to be named by her.
But the puppy who just focused on eating the canned food only knew to get close to Lin Jun, wagging his tail and asking for snacks.
Chi Liuai looked down at his feet, which was empty.
Her emotions were swirling. What a wicked little dog! She felt bad for it being stranded outside. Within five seconds of meeting the puppy, Chi Liuai reached out and scooped up the tiny, barely twice the size of her palm. She hurried home, fearing someone might find it too cute and rob it at gunpoint. She carefully protected it in her arms, wrapped it in clothes, and only when she got home did she dare to hold the puppy up and say to Lin Zhun, "It's my child. You must take good care of it."
She has such good intentions.
But every time Chi Liuai called this bad little dog "a mother who only depends on milk", it never paid any attention to her.
"It, it doesn't like me anymore." Chi Liuai completely realized that he was an unlikable person.
Lin Zhun certainly didn't think so. He picked up the puppy and held up its head.
I want Chi Liuai to take a closer look at how small the puppy’s head is.
"It's just too stupid! Look at it, it doesn't look very smart, it keeps shaking its head." Lin Jun shook the dog's head.
Chi Liuai was angry: "But, it always ignores you. I call its name but it never responds. Chi Youqian, Chi Youqian, Youqian, look, it just shakes its head!"
Lin Zhun was stunned.
During this week, Chi Liuai, the head of the family who has the right to name the puppy, gave the puppy many names.
At first it was called Guoguo.
The next day Chi Liuai called it milk tea.
Then, Chi Liuai suddenly felt that it needed a name, so he called it Chi Guohua.
Under Lin Zhun's careful training, Chi Guohua finally realized that his name was Chi Guohua.
Chi Liuai yelled to the puppy, "Chi Youqian, come here quickly, come to your mother."
The puppy was sleeping on Lin Zhun's leather shoes with its belly exposed.
Chi Liuai insisted on shaking it awake, but it barked twice, and he couldn't help but let his eyes well up. He fed the puppy snacks while complaining to himself.
Lin Zhun's eyes darkened, and he thought, if he hadn't been so inefficient in training the puppy, and if this dog wasn't so stupid, how could Liu'ai have suffered such injustice?
Lin Zhun did not correct Chi Liuai's habit of changing his name.
Just keep telling Chi Guohua that you should call him Chi Youqian now.
Finally, Chi Liuai realized that this dog was not as smart as humans and it needed a simple and easy-to-understand name.
"I've made up my mind!"
Chi Liuai and Lin Zhun came out of the supermarket. Lin Zhun's hands were full of shopping bags and a huge bag of dog food. Chi Liuai held his clothes and the two of them strolled under the maple forest. Lin Zhun held the puppy's leash firmly in his hand, so that when Chi Liuai wanted to chat with the puppy, he could use the force to give some hints.
Chi Liuai ran to the puppy.
The puppy is a small dog, and Chi Liuai loves to hold it and lift it up, and this time is no exception.
Lin Zhun felt the traction rope pulling him, and although he didn't have much strength, he still ran forward a few steps.
At this time, the warm sunlight gently warmed Lin Zhun. He saw that Chi Liuai's originally disappointed look disappeared, and he looked at the puppy with sparkling eyes and held it above his head with his hands.
"It barks, run fast!"
Chi Liuai put the puppy down and said excitedly, "Run fast, run a few steps faster."
At this time, it seemed to understand Chi Liuai's words, and ran towards the lawn very smartly. It was so small, with short legs, and its speed was not fast. It was just an ordinary puppy.
Chi Liuai could catch up with it in just two steps.
She was moved by the fast running legs, lifted it up and couldn't help but kiss it a few times.
"You run fast! Luckily you're still a puppy, otherwise you'd be the world sprint champion! You're so good, what would the other puppies do?"
In this way, the puppy took a few steps and received Chi Liuai's praise without much effort.
It also likes the name.
Lin Zhun has always been the one taking it for a walk and feeding it. In order to make it smarter, he specially enrolled it in a puppy school. Lin Zhun was reluctant to let the puppy leave home, so he went to the puppy class in person and continued to train the puppy at home.
"Run Fast" quickly learned how to take care of Chi Liuai under Lin Zhun's command.
It is a very smart puppy.
Chi Liuai told everyone this more than once.
"Charis, every animal knows its own name, let alone eating and drinking water." Some people in the class were really fed up with Charis talking about her stupid and spoiled little dog all the time. If Chi Liuai was invited to a party, she would use the stupid dog as an excuse to refuse all invitations, but everyone soon found out that Chi Liuai just looked down on this cheap social interaction.
She looked wealthy, and there were many rich children here, but the professor's indulgence of Chi Liuai made it hard not to suspect that the school belonged to her family.
Chi Liuai's hot coffee burned her tongue, and she retorted vaguely, "How could it be? It's different from other puppies?"
"What's the difference? It's smart enough to drink coffee without burning its tongue, right?" This was a snarky German boy, his lips very thin, like a blade that could cut through many sharp words. "You should learn to face your pet squarely. It doesn't look like what you say - royal pets are deeply attached to its charm."
Chi Liuai forgot that he had exaggerated.
She actually began to seriously think about what was special about her baby.
Then, Chi Liuai said, "It runs fast. It has a father and a mother. Isn't that special enough? We all love it. Yesterday, it even knew to rub my hand before dinner. It's a puppy who knows how to read people's expressions and is incapable of being mean!"
The German boy was stunned. First, he couldn't understand why someone would call their pet "run, run, run!". Secondly, he was even more sad because the dog actually had a father. This meant -
"Okay, you want me to admit that this puppy is smart, but the prerequisite is that you tell me what your relationship with this person is?" asked the German boy.
Chi Liuai just opened his lips to let Lin Zhun see the tip of his red tongue. Lin Zhun also heard this. After greeting the boy, he looked at Chi Liuai without showing much emotion.
"He is my—" Chi Liuai suddenly pursed his lips and stopped talking, "Why are you asking me a question?"
Instead, he asked the German boy seriously, looking straight at him.
It made people blush and look around.
Chi Liuai was unyielding and said, "You've been paying a lot of attention to my pet lately, and you always like to make me angry. Will you be like that next time we meet?"
The German boy heard that Charis was angry. He had no intention of bullying her and apologized and wanted to explain.
The man next to Chi Liuai gently eased the awkward atmosphere.
Very kind man!
Very gentleman, knows how to take care of people's emotions.
After introducing himself, he invited him to visit their home at any time in the name of his family.
Chi Liuai snorted coldly and got into the car and left.
"Run fast, don't talk to your dad, come to your mom." Chi Liuai wanted to ignore Lin Zhun together with the puppy.
"Flowing mist."
Lin Zhun knocked on the door.
The door wasn't locked at all, yet you kept knocking!
Chi Liuai shouted, "Don't come in," and Lin Zhun really stood at the door obediently.
"Flowing mist."
"Angry?"
"Charis, does your mouth still hurt?"
"Charis."
Finally, Lin Zhun coughed a few times and softly said that it was time to eat.
"Run Fast" rolled, crawled and screamed as he ran out of Chi Liuai's arms.
There was a sound of rapid stomping behind.
"You bad, conscienceless dog!"
Chi Liuai saw Lin Zhun enter the house, kicked off her shoes, and pretended to be indifferent and angry, saying that Charis was going to sleep and waiting to invite many boys to visit her home. Lin Zhun had to make full preparations to take care of the guests she selected. If necessary, Lin Zhun would need to go out to buy condoms late at night.
Chi Liuai's lips went numb for a moment, and someone sucked lightly on his swollen lower lip.
"Charis, I want to take care of you first." Lin Zhun said softly.
Chi Liuai's posture was stiff. Although his mouth hurt a little, he was still happy.
"I don't need it." Chi Liuai smiled.
Afterwards, he stopped talking to Lin Zhun, intending to keep him company.
After a long while, Lin Zhun sighed: "Liu Ai, this is my fault, but I can't be so selfish."
Chi Liuai was surprised. How could this be considered selfish?
"They are young and have good family backgrounds. There will be more people who will take care of you and like you in the future." Lin Zhun didn't want to talk about Meng Yuzhi's past, and deliberately skipped over this man. "If you don't like me anymore, and I have missed a lot of friends and lovers because of me, what should I do?"
"So you just watched me go find someone else, just watching helplessly?" Chi Liuai couldn't believe it, and her face turned red again. "I'm not fickle, I'm not a bad person."
Lin Zhun said almost calmly: "Even if you have many lovers at the same time, you will not be a bad child in my eyes."
Chi Liuai was genuinely stunned. This was the first time someone had so openly praised her occasional bad intentions.
Chi Liuai said sincerely: "But I don't like you like this."
Lin Zhun looked at his sister, her black eyes sparkling.
"Brother, when someone invites me, I sometimes want you to hold my hand and walk away. Will you really not be angry if you see me dating someone else?"
Lin Zhun still shook his head.
"I'm relieved that you don't have any memories of your childhood. You've always been very popular." Lin Zhun paused, his voice very gentle. "If you want to tell me your true feelings, it's me who has no tolerance and has learned to be jealous."
Lin Zhun said, "If my brother is jealous of another man and takes his anger out on you, it would be too unfair to you."
The slow mist stopped for a moment.
The signs of these days have cleared the fog before our eyes.
How can a generous man tolerate his lover, going on a date, and falling in love...
It’s just that Lin Zhun couldn’t bear to show any emotion to his lover.
Even if he just saw Chi Liuai chatting with the German boy all the way, he would feel proud and gratified by Chi Liuai's eloquence and her sharp tongue.
Chi Liuai couldn't help showing off his puppy.
Lin Zhun has been repeating this kind of thing for more than twenty years, and he can't help but want everyone to know what a good child Chi Liuai is.
"Brother will accept whatever I say?" Chi Liuai leaned over and the two of them got closer to each other.
During this time, the most intimate gesture was just a light kiss.
Especially when Chi Liuai saw that her unfamiliar classmates could kiss passionately after meeting each other, the contrast with the superficial intimacy between her and her brother seemed particularly funny.
"Of course." Lin Zhun smiled slightly.
Chi Liuai took a deep breath and said, "You have to listen carefully."
Lin Zhun looked at her gently.
Chi Liuai rested his knees on the suit pants. The fabric was smooth, and Chi Liuai slowly followed the touch and spoke out his words.
Sincere and direct.
"Brother, do you know that I have been sick for a long time? The first time I wanted you to stay by my side was when you found out. I don't know why I always dream about you. I really couldn't help it, but you left."
Lin Zhun's throat tightened: "Liu Ai, I——"
"After that, I fell ill and I couldn't feel anything. Later, Meng Yuzhi cured me, but he was really fierce. He was too powerful, as if he always knew the truth and always did the right thing. He always loved to scold me, saying that I—" Chi Liuai lowered his head, "said I like you, but actually at that time I didn't know whether I liked you or not."
"He's so powerful. He said I like you. Maybe, maybe he really sees it clearly."
Lin Zhun's face was no longer as calm as usual, but painful and depressed.
"Liuai, who do you like?"
Chi Liuai's voice was barely audible: "You are my brother now, really, I swear."
Lin Zhun held Chi Liuai's hand, gently protecting it in his palm without even squeezing it hard.
"Don't swear, don't promise, I believe it."
Lin Zhun's tone was pleading.
"I told you, you can do anything to your brother, even cheating is fine, just don't burden yourself."
Chi Liuai's hands felt warm, her heart felt warm too, and everything around her was warm.
Is it really that easy for Chi Liuai, who keeps getting into trouble? Even if she deliberately irritates others, after satisfying their reactions, she will be hurt by her angry or stern expression, as if she is an unforgivable villain, a real headache that must be corrected, destroyed, and severely punished immediately!
Few people treated her like this, holding her gently.
The puppy was praised by Chi Liuai for his ability to eat and drink.
Chi Liuai's gentle breathing every day moved Lin Zhun to the point of being at a loss.
The brother's expression, the brother's care, the brother's words, everything about the brother, all affirmed everything about the sister.
Chi Liuai's clothes have changed a little.
Lin Zhun was tidying her up from top to bottom. Chi Liuai swallowed her saliva, and her lower lip was still tingling.
"That's not enough."
Chi Liuai said sternly but weakly.
"You made me sick, so you have to take care of me. Otherwise, I'll go find Meng Yuzhi, he's very capable."
Lin Zhun's hand paused and he looked up at Chi Liuai.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and even though her expression remained unchanged, it was completely different from the expression she had when she invited a German boy to her home.
It seems, it seems a bit serious.
Chi Liuai's heart tightened suddenly.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in a provocative arc.
She seemed to have found something that even her brother couldn't stand.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhun was too patient. He had a bad temper. Long-term fighting and wild boxing matches did not allow Lin Zhun to be gentle and humble. He could only endure it, especially towards his sister.
She is no match for the competition stage. She is too weak to be used by others.
Lin Zhun tried hard to control the rush of blood and took a deep breath.
"Do you think he will forgive me if I go back to him now? Meng Yuzhi will definitely lock me in bed." Chi Liuai was about to cry. "Brother, he also said that I look beautiful when I cry."
Lin Zhun's pupils trembled, and he said calmly: "Of course it's beautiful."
"You're lying, you haven't seen it before."
Lin Zhun couldn't bear to see Liu Ai cry, and although he saw her less often, it had happened before.
He said, “I have seen it.”
Chi Liuai looked at him: "But Daddy was talking about the way I cried in bed."
Lin Zhun stared at Chi Liuai.
The air flow stagnated for a moment.
The two of them held their breath as they looked at each other.
The puppy that was tricked out of the door had no food to eat and barked anxiously. Its claws were still rubbing against the carpet, making a numbing tearing sound.
And outside on the boulevard, there was a McLaren parked.
The brief sound of brakes broke the silence of the night.
A bodyguard leaned against the hood, and as he stood up and bowed, dozens of burly bodyguards in black suits behind him lowered their heads.
Meng Yuzhi nodded slightly, stopped, and looked up at the brightly lit first floor of the tall building.
"Go say hello."
