Chapter 144

The three of them were a little embarrassed. Lin Qingyuan cleared his throat and was about to ask Xie Chen what happened when Lin Xuan took the initiative to ask, "Erlang, what did you say, brother?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Xie Chen comforted.

Lin Xuan sighed, brought out the food from the kitchen, and winked at Xie Chen. Xie Chen understood and knocked on the door with the food. Lin Shuge's voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, dinner is ready, I..." Xie Chen was still knocking on the door, but Lin Shuge opened the door directly and took the food in his hand, and then the door slammed shut in front of him.

Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xie Chen turned around helplessly. Lin Xuan didn't laugh, but just said, "Erlang, your food is still in the kitchen."

Xie Chen followed her into the kitchen. As expected, Lin Xuan looked up at him and said, "Erlang, you and Big Brother this time..."

"It's my problem." Xie Chen whispered before she finished speaking.

Lin Xuan put the food into the bowl, walked over and said, "Erlang, my elder brother looks gentle, but he is actually stubborn. If he sets his mind on something, he will do it no matter how difficult it is. I don't know what happened to you, but I hope that no matter what you encounter, you will work together to find a solution."

She paused and pursed her lips. "Big brother never likes to talk about these things. When you first went to the Eternal Tunnel, Big brother was worried about you every day. Later, he waited for a long time but didn't hear from you. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night and often saw Big brother sitting in a daze. When I asked him why he didn't sleep, he just said that he couldn't sleep. Big brother was afraid that you would get hurt on the battlefield, but he knew that with your talent, how could you be confined to this, so he could only agree to let you go to the battlefield. When you came back for the first time, he was really happy. He actually secretly prepared for your birthday for a long time, and every bit of his heart was carefully prepared."

Xie Chen's eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to Lin Shuge.

As the night deepened, darkness enveloped the earth. A faint moon and light clouds cast a faint light on the ground. Lin Xuan stood up and said, "Erlang, you are a man of great literary talent and martial arts. Even I used to doubt your origins, but my elder brother said that you taught me and Ayuan everything you knew, and treated him with sincerity. If you really have difficulties that you don't want to say, he won't make it difficult for you."

Xie Chen's body trembled slightly, his fists clenched, and he said awkwardly: "A Xuan, when did this happen?"

"Of course it was when I just saved you. If my elder brother really wants to be good to someone, he will do it wholeheartedly. He did it to me and Yuan, and he will do it to you as well. Later, I don't know when your relationship crossed the line, but I know that he must have really loved you to do such a rebellious thing."

"In fact, I have a feeling that my eldest brother is actually very lonely sometimes. Sometimes I even feel that he is not a person of this world. So Erlang, if you really encounter something, I hope you and my eldest brother can face it together." Lin Xuan said sincerely and earnestly.

"What if these things put him in danger?"

"Erlang, do you think your elder brother would be afraid of these? If someone uses the name of love to arbitrarily put the person he loves in a place where he thinks he is safe, how do you think you would feel? Besides, from your point of view, you are keeping him away from danger, but how does he see it? Moreover, if it is really that dangerous, to put it bluntly, if something happens to you, how will he cope with it?" Lin Xuan has always been precocious, but these words are not something that an unmarried woman like her can say after all, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Erlang, it's not that you don't understand these principles, but you are in the middle of it and don't understand them. In addition, you are both afraid of the consequences. But in my opinion, no matter how dangerous the situation is, how can you make decisions for him in the name of doing good for him?"

The two of them naturally knew who Lin Xuan was talking about.

Xie Chen was shocked, and his hands loosened and clenched several times. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "A Xuan, I understand. Thank you very much."

After saying that, he immediately rushed out. Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't seen that the two of them were only thinking about each other and were confused by the situation, she would not have said this today. Although he knew that his two brothers were steady and wouldn't quarrel over anything, quarrels hurt feelings after all, and he was really worried.

Lin Xuan sighed again. She was so young, but why did she sigh more and more often recently?

Xie Chen exhaled in front of the Lin Shu Pavilion's door, then knocked on the door and whispered, "Brother, do you have any medicine?"

When Lin Shuge heard this, he immediately opened the door, stared at his hand and asked, "Did your hand get hurt just now?"

Xie Chen looked at the deep concern in his eyes and burst into laughter. "I'm fine. I'm sorry, brother. It's my fault. I kept it from you. I was stubborn. I forced what I thought was good for you onto you, but ignored your thoughts. I won't do that again."

Lin Shuge stared at him blankly. How come after just a moment's absence, this man suddenly came to his senses as if he had taken a magic medicine.

"Come in." Lin Shuge saw that he was looking at him stubbornly, as if he would stand at the door forever if he didn't nod.

Lin Shuge found the medicine box, took his hand and took a look. It was a little red and swollen, but it shouldn't be serious.

He took out the medicine and gently rubbed it on Xie Chen's hand, "Is this finished?"

Xie Chen held his hand with his backhand, "No need to write, I will tell you what you want to hear now. If you really want to share the wind and snow with me, then let's get wet together. No matter whether it is wind and snow or mist and rain, I will bear it with you."

Lin Shuge was surprised and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Have you figured it out?"

Xie Chen lowered his head and hugged him, burying his head in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I was mistaken. I'm sorry for making you sad."

"Don't think that I'll calm down just because you figured it out. I still remember what you hid from me." Lin Shuge said, holding his face.

"I've said it before, brother, just punish." Xie Chen leaned over and touched his forehead to his.

"That's what you said." Lin Shuge stretched out a finger and poked the head aside.

"Yes, I said it." Xie Chen said obediently.

"Well, I'll tell the kitchen to prepare a radish feast tomorrow. You must eat all of it. Don't leave any."

Xie Chen is not picky about food, but he just doesn't like eating all kinds of radishes. Whenever he sees them while eating, he never reaches for their chopsticks. Lin Shuge has noticed this for a long time.

"Okay, I'll do whatever my brother says."

Um? The penalty is too light.

Lin Shuge added: "Also, you should go back to your room and sleep during this time. It's hot in the summer, so move back when it gets colder."

Xie Chen is very clingy, young and strong. Ever since he started eating meat, Lin Shuge has deeply felt the principle of sustainable development. It is a good opportunity to let him take a break now, otherwise he will really not be able to bear it.

Xie Chen's mind went blank. He couldn't stand the whole night last night. How could he possibly wait until the weather gets cold? No matter when, it wouldn't work.

"Brother, you're not actually mad at me for hiding this from you, right?" Xie Chen thought about Lin Shuge's reaction after he knew his true identity. Adding on Lin Xuan's words, he realized that Lin Shuge could probably guess that he came from an extraordinary family, but he didn't expect it to be from the Xie family.

What really pissed him off was that he had to shoulder all the responsibilities alone and excluded himself.

"How could that be? Of course I'm angry. Am I such a person without temper? Mr. Xie lied to me and it was so painful." Lin Shuge flatly denied it.

Seeing him like this, Xie Chen did not expose him, but pleaded with him, "Brother, how can you bear to leave me alone in an empty room?"

"I can't bear it. I am happy to be alone and quiet."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound was heard, and Xie Chenjun's face turned slightly red and he covered his stomach.

"Are you hungry? A Xuan should have left some food for you. Go eat it and have a good sleep after that. Also, don't sleep at my door. I don't have that many clothes to cover you." Lin Shuge gently pushed him out of the house.

Xie Chen followed his force and backed away until he was almost at the door. He looked at him with soft eyes, and said, "Brother, I haven't eaten for a whole day. Please have pity on me and have a meal with me."

Lin Shuge looked at him suspiciously, and saw that he had a wronged look on his face and a pair of wet eyes. Lin Shuge could not stand that kind of look from him and would surrender every time.

This time was no exception. "Come on, follow me to the kitchen."

A flash of joy flashed across Xie Chen's eyes, then he nodded obediently and followed Lin Shuge obediently.

Lin Xuan was no longer in the kitchen. Xie Chen thought about what Lin Xuan had just said, and his heart softened. He had known for a long time that Lin Shuge was good, but he didn't expect him to be so good.

In the first half of his life, Xie Chen had seen a lot of mountains and rivers, and had met countless famous people. He could be convinced by the beautiful words he wrote with his pen. Originally, he did not have any emotion at all. Unexpectedly, after he was really moved by the emotions, he could only repeat the word "good" over and over in his heart.

Lin Shuge muttered beside him: "The food is cold, how about a bowl of noodles?"

Xie Chen said again: "Okay."

Lin Shuge glanced at him and took out a plump white radish. Xie Chen's face changed slightly and he took it from him, "I'll go wash it."

Lin Shuge crossed his arms and watched for a long time, then directed Xie Chen to knead the dough and roll it out. His men quickly prepared a large bowl of soup to make sour soup noodles.

"Okay, I just kidded you. I'll let you go today. I'm too lazy to cook and I don't need the radish." Anyway, there are pickled radishes.

"Brother." Xie Chen followed behind him.

"What are you doing? Eat." Lin Shuge pointed at the noodles and pickled radish on the table, motioning him to eat quickly, and then walked out of the kitchen.

Just as he reached the door of the room, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Xie Chen following him with a meal in his hand. Seeing him turn around, he said, "I suddenly remembered that my room has not been cleaned yet. I will clean it after I finish my meal."

Lin Shuge looked at him expressionlessly. Xie Chen said again, "The noodles are almost clumping together. Brother, let me in." As he said that, he squeezed in with the rice. Lin Shuge looked up at the sky in silence.

Inside the room, Lin Shuge was reading a book while Xie Chen was munching on noodles. The noodles were chewy and the soup was rich. His stomach, which had been hungry all day, finally felt better. He picked up another piece of pickled radish and ate it with gritted teeth. Unexpectedly, it was sour and spicy and delicious, and went perfectly with the noodles.

Lin Shuge closed the book and looked at him, "Have you finished eating?"

Xie Chen nodded, burped, put the dishes together in two or three moves, and then said: "Brother, I'll go wash the dishes. Don't close the door yet. I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me first."

Xie Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I was still telling my brother about the Xie family."

Lin Shuge stood up and helped him straighten his slightly messy hair. "Go back and have a rest. We'll talk tomorrow."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Xie Chen had no choice but to walk away, looking back every few steps.
