Chapter 124 But I Miss You

Lin Anhong and Ye Yinghua are still working, so there are only the two siblings at home.

Lin Zixia went back to her room to pack up her things. After a while, Lin Zirui knocked on her door. The boy's voice was still in the voice change period, and it was a little hoarse. "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll order takeout."

Lin Zixia was stunned. He had already taken out his mobile phone and opened the app to look at it.

"I can do anything."

In the past few years, she rarely paid attention to her family and no longer paid attention to her younger brother. The two of them had not been alone together like this for a long time.

At the dinner table, the two of them sat on either side, eating quietly without saying a word.

Lin Zirui quietly raised his eyes to glance at Lin Zixia. She was eating seriously with her head down and didn't seem to want to speak. He paused and also lowered his head to continue eating.

The meal was eaten in silence.

After dinner, Lin Zixia took the initiative to clean up the garbage and said, "I'm going back to my room first."

Lin Zirui stood in the living room, watching her walk into the room, and lowered his eyes. He stood there for a while before returning to his bedroom.

In the evening, Lin Anhong and Ye Yinghua came home from get off work and cooked dinner at home.

Ye Yinghua asked, "How did you do on the exam? Are you confident?"

Lin Zixia pursed her lips and said, "Just play your best."

Ye Yinghua nodded, "That's good. If the results can be the same as usual, then it should be good."

Lin Anhong also looked at her. "After the test, take a few days off. I see some of my colleagues' children have signed up for driving school. Do you want to learn one too?"

Lin Zixia smiled and refused, "No, I have to go back to school to get my grades, fill out my application, and go to Chengdu. I'll learn it when I go to college."

Lin Anhong didn't force it, "It's up to you then."

At the dinner table, after asking about Lin Zixia, the two men turned to Lin Zirui and said, "You've also finished your high school entrance exam. I don't know if you can get into the elite class. You can take advantage of the summer vacation to sign up for a cram school, or ask your sister to help you with English and math."

Lin Zirui suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "I just finished the exam, can't I take a break?"

Ye Yinghua frowned. "Do you think everything will be fine after you finish the exam? The next three years of high school will be even more demanding and demanding. Many students prepare in advance, otherwise what will happen if they can't keep up?"

Lin Zirui had a sour face and looked nonchalant, "If you can't keep up, then you can't keep up."

Ye Yinghua put down the bowl and said, "What's your attitude? You've been getting more and more disobedient lately!"

Lin Anhong quickly acted as a peacemaker and advised, "Okay, let him relax for a few days after the exam, and we can talk about this matter later."

He looked at Lin Zirui again and said earnestly, "Your mother is doing this for your own good. She's always worried about you at school, and when she comes home, she has to take care of your studies. Don't talk back to her."

"I don't want to eat anymore."

Lin Zirui put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up directly, the stool making a sharp sound as it rubbed against the floor.

He went back to the room without looking back and slammed the door.

Ye Yinghua also put down his bowl and complained, "His temper is getting worse and worse. It's really hard to manage him."

Lin Anhong frowned and said, "Okay, the child is grown up now, don't talk so much."

Lin Zixia held the chopsticks and pursed his lips. He was in a dilemma whether to eat or not.

After dinner, she went straight back to her room and closed the door.

After the exam was over and he relaxed, Lin Zixia realized that he had no idea what to do. Especially when he returned home, he didn't want to face them in the living room, so he had to go back to his room.

She opened the window and stood in front of it for a while to enjoy the breeze. The night wind blew the strands of hair on her temples, and she leaned aside quietly and looked out the window.

The early summer wind is already mixed with a little warmth. The community is very quiet, and occasionally one or two voices can be heard coming from the neighbors' homes.

After being in a daze for a while, Lin Zixia sat down at the desk, took out a pen and paper, did some calculations, and began to plan his future life.

Lin Zixia drew strokes on the white A4 paper with a black signature pen. He looked at the number at the end and suddenly laughed.

It's time to start a new life. Even if it will be tiring in the future, she can choose freely and move forward according to her own wishes.

She can definitely do it.

After staring at the paper for a while, she put the cap back on the pen, tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the trash.

The freedom she wanted was not far away.

…

When Lu Xiangye sent her a message, she was bored and had found a novel to read.

She had just replied to the message when Lu Xiangye's video came in.

Lu Xiangye's handsome face appeared on the phone screen. Lin Zixia curled her lips and asked, "You're back to your room so early today?"

Lu Xiangye: "I just came back from taking a walk with grandma. Are you okay? Did that kid tell on you?"

Lin Zixia shook his head with a complicated expression, "No."

Lu Xiangye keenly noticed the change in her mood and moved closer, looking at her softly with his dark eyes. "What's wrong?"

Lin Zixia leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly, "I'm not sure either."

"Then speak slowly and say whatever comes to mind."

Lin Zixia leaned his phone against the wall on the desk, put his hands on the table, and said gloomily, "I found that Lin Zirui seems to be very different from what I remembered when I came back this time."

"When I returned to Qingjiang County in the first year of junior high school, he was only in the fourth grade. He was a naughty and annoying kid who always opposed me, teased me, and loved to tell tales."

"After I started high school, I didn't talk to him much, and I didn't notice much change in his personality."

"He didn't tell Mom and Dad about us, neither last time nor this time."

"I can't really describe how I feel, but I just feel like he doesn't have as much ill will towards me anymore."

Sometimes he would even take the initiative to talk to her, and his attitude was not that bad.

She was actually a little overwhelmed by the scene at the dinner table tonight and wanted to comfort him, but their relationship didn't seem to be that close.

They are siblings, but they don't seem like siblings.

A very strange relationship.

Lu Xiangye listened carefully for a while and said lazily, "He should be in high school now. He already knows everything he needs to know. If he continues to be the same as before, I'll have to take a taxi over and beat him up right now!"

"Dare to bully my girlfriend? Beat him up so hard his parents won't recognize him!"

Lin Zixia was amused by his fierce tone, "I'm talking to you seriously."

Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly, "Am I not being serious?"

Lin Zixia: "Stop making trouble."

Lu Xiangye then put away his nonchalant look and asked seriously, "Do you feel okay about going home?"

Lin Zixia tilted his head and said, "It's okay. I'll only be staying for a few days and then I'll leave."

Seeing that she looked at ease, Lu Xiangye finally felt relieved and started teasing her, "Did you miss me?"

Lin Zixia was still not used to his blunt words, "We've only been apart for less than twelve hours."

Lu Xiangye narrowed his dark eyes and said in a lazy and deep voice, "But I miss you."

Lin Zixia looked away, his cheeks slightly hot, "Oh."

"Lin Xiaoxia," Lu Xiangye called her in a low voice, "Look at me."

Lin Zixia then turned his gaze back, "What?"

Lu Xiangye said in an unhappy tone, "Just now during the video call, you were talking about other men all the time. You didn't even know how to say something nice to please your boyfriend?"

Lin Zixia's eyes suddenly widened. Is Lin Zirui also considered another man?

Lu Xiangye stared at her, his tone vicious, "Tell me you miss me!"

Lin Zixia felt helpless and wanted to laugh, but in the end she couldn't resist and had to agree to his request.

"I miss you."

Lu Xiangye was dissatisfied, "Perfunctory."

Lin Zixia had no choice but to patiently say softly, "I miss you."

Lu Xiangye was finally satisfied, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "This is a good baby."

Lin Zixia's ears warmed, "Don't yell like that every day."

Lu Xiangye chuckled softly. He discovered that Lin Zixia would become shy whenever he called out these two words.

"Don't yell, baby?"

Lin Zixia didn't say anything.

Lu Xiangye suppressed his laughter and deliberately asked, "Then what do you want to hear me shout?"

"Good boy? Yaoyao? Baby?"

Lu Xiangye's voice was low and sexy, a little hoarse, and sounded in her ears with a rustling vibration.

Lin Zixia's cheeks flushed red, "Shut up!"

Lu Xiangye looked innocent, "You have to choose one, so that I can follow your preferences."

Lin Zixia glared at him, but her cheeks were flushed and she was angry, without any deterrent effect.

Very cute too.

A smile flashed across Lu Xiangye's eyes, but then he felt a little unhappy. "When will you come back, Lin Xiaoxia?"

"I want to kiss and hug."

Lin Zixia covered the camera with her hand and pressed her face against the cold table, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. "Lu Xiangye!"

A low laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Why are you so shy, baby?"

Lin Zixia loosened his grip, and the phone fell on the table, with the camera facing the ceiling.

She covered her face with her hands. Lu Xiangye on the other end of the phone was still saying some embarrassing and heart-pounding words. She put the phone back and covered her ears with her hands.

"Go ahead, whatever you want, I can't hear you."

Lu Xiangye: Damn, so cute!

I want to kiss you even more.
