When Xia Zaoan thought of their acquaintance, she couldn't help but smile, her heart filled with sweetness and attachment.

By now, Xia Zaoan has already understood Ye Lin's personality thoroughly. In front of Ye Lin, there is nothing that Xia Zaoan can't solve by acting coquettishly. If there is, then she will use two methods.

…

Xia Zaoan returned to the Xia family, her face full of joy unable to be concealed.

Xia Keyu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, concentrating on his work with his elegant gold-rimmed glasses. When the door opened, Xia Zaoan smiled and called out, "Brother, you're back."

Xia Keyu looked up and saw Xia Zaoan's face full of joy. "Good morning, what are you so happy about?"

Xia Zaoan sat down next to Xia Keyu, "Brother, do you remember when I told you about my best friend in high school?"

"Um...Ye Lin?"

"Oh, by the way, brother. You've been abroad for the past few years, so you haven't met Ye Lin yet, right? She returned from studying in Gaoguo today. Here, this is the watch she gave me. Doesn't it look nice?"

Xia Zaoan raised the watch on his wrist to show Xia Keyu, and the watch caught Xia Keyu's attention at first sight.

"This watch doesn't have an international brand, so it must be custom-made. Good morning, could you help me ask your friend about the designer of this watch? I'm very interested in his designs and would like to meet him."

"Okay, I'll ask for you."

Ye Lin returned home and just as she opened the door, her mother came to greet her. "Mom."

Mother Ye took the luggage from Ye Lin's hand and said, "Linlin, you're back. Are you tired from flying? The food on the plane isn't tasty, right? Mom made your favorite dish. Go and rest for a while, the food will be ready soon."

Ye's mother went into the kitchen again, Ye Lin came to the living room, and Ye's father was wearing a pair of reading glasses and reading a newspaper. He still looked as heroic as he did in his youth.

"Dad." Father Ye put down the newspaper and smiled, "Linlin, come and sit down."

Ye Lin sat next to her father. "Linlin, are you used to living in Gao Country?"

"Not bad." Father Ye nodded. "Do you plan to settle down when you return home this time?"

"I won't be leaving for now."

"Linlin, your parents have never interfered with anything you did since you were little. When you wanted to study abroad, we didn't say anything. Your parents don't care about your academic achievements or your excellent grades in any field. We just hope that you can have a happy and stable life of your own, and not always live for others."

"Dad, I know. But there are some things that only I can do, and I have to do them. I promise you, I will protect myself."

"In that case, Mom and Dad respect your choice."

"Thank you, Dad."

Ye Lin's eyes dimmed: I will settle everything down as soon as possible, and then stay with you well.

"Linlin, Yongan, come over for dinner."

At the dinner table, Ye's mother kept serving food to Ye Lin. "Linlin, eat more. How come you've lost so much weight these past two years abroad? There's no flesh on your face anymore. You probably haven't been eating well, have you?"

"Thank you, Mom."

Mother Ye put down her chopsticks and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Linlin, have you been feeling unwell lately? For example, your eyes hurt. I mean, uh... don't you young people always stay up late surfing the internet and playing with your phones? Don't you overuse your eyes and make them hurt?"

Ye Lin thought her mother's question was a little strange, but she answered honestly, "No, Mom, I don't stay up late playing with my phone."

Mother Ye said hurriedly: "Oh, that's good that there is nothing, that's good that there is nothing."

"Mom and Dad, I've decided to move out in two days."

Mother Ye hurriedly said, "Linlin, why do you want to move out for no reason? I was worried about you being alone abroad before. You just returned home, can't you stay at home? Mom makes delicious food for you every day."

"Mom, I want to try to develop myself in China. Staying at home will disturb your rest and it's not very convenient."

Father Ye interrupted Mother Ye, "Okay, Linlin has grown up now, and it's time for her to learn to be independent. You, stop pestering Linlin every day and worrying about her."

"Mom, I'll come back often when I have time."

With Ye's father and Ye Lin singing the same tune, Ye's mother didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Linlin, if you don't feel comfortable being outside alone, just come home."

"good."

Mother Ye picked up another piece of meat and gave it to Ye Lin. "Come, eat some more."

"Um."

After a while, "Dad, Mom, I'm done eating."

Mother Ye said, "Linlin, go back to your room and rest after you finish eating. You've been on the plane all day, and nothing in your room has been changed."

"Well, Mom and Dad, I'll go back to my room first."

"Go ahead." said Ye's father.

Ye Lin stood up and left until she heard the door close. Ye's father and mother exchanged a glance, and Ye's mother said, "The drug's effects are almost gone, right?"

“Almost.”

Ye's mother frowned, "It seems that we can't keep it secret for much longer. That medicine can no longer be taken, it will cause great harm to Ye Lin. But the research on new drugs has not made any progress in so many years, what can we do?" Ye's mother sighed.

"Linlin is not a child anymore. There are some things she should know that can never be hidden from her. It's just a matter of time. We must prepare early." Ye's father advised.

"But you know what Linlin was like before. She hated everyone and might not even recognize us. Poor child, what on earth did Linlin go through to become like this?"

"Don't worry, we've seen it all over the years. Linlin is a good child. There are some things we can't prevent. We'll do our best, and the rest is up to fate. I'll ask Zeyan to keep an eye on Linlin recently."

"This is the only way for now." Ye's mother said with a worried look on her face.
