After the Lin family villa was bustling for a while, everyone went back to their rooms tiredly to rest.
Yan Xi also returned to his room.
He wanted to take a shower before going to bed, but when he was about to take off his clothes, he felt as if someone was staring at him in the dark.
Yan Xi used his mental power to investigate and found that there were indeed hidden cameras installed in the room.
In other words... the original owner may have been under surveillance for a long time.
As for who it was, he could probably guess, it was probably Old Master Lin.
Thinking that this body might have been seen by others, Yan Xi felt a surge of anger in his heart.
His eyes turned cold, and the cameras in the room were instantly disabled.
What a rubbish scumbag.
He admitted that in the original text, this old man Lin and other members of the Lin family fought against demons and protected the people of the world, and they deserved respect.
But what did the original owner do wrong?
Has he enjoyed a high-quality life for so many years just because Old Master Lin wanted to make up for it?
No, in his opinion, Old Master Lin just wanted to keep the original owner healthy so as to make full preparations for the resurrection of the male protagonist. Also... he felt that this body would be his own in the future, so naturally he had to treat it with more care.
From the beginning to the end, the original owner was just a tool. In his eyes, she was nothing at all.
Fortunately, the original owner was kept in the dark and was very grateful to Old Master Lin. It was really ironic.
Yan Xi rubbed his temples and calmed himself down before going into the bathroom to take a bath.
While soaking in the water, he heard a knock on the door.
Yan Xi narrowed his eyes. Judging from the footsteps and breathing, it should not be Old Master Lin.
"Who is it?"
“It’s me, Minghe.”
Lin Minghe?
She came to see him alone in the middle of the night. Could it be about what just happened?
"Wait a moment." Yan Xi put on a bathrobe, but felt it was not appropriate, so he changed into pajamas before going to open the door.
Lin Minghe had his back to him at this time. When he heard the door open, he quickly turned around. However, he didn't expect that the person who opened the door had wet hair, and his cheeks looked rosy because of the hot bath, and there were still water droplets on his neck.
Lin Minghe was stunned, his breathing stagnated, and his heartbeat quickened.
Yan Xi noticed his strangeness and straightened his clothes, "Fourth brother, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late at night?"
Lin Minghe realized that his behavior was impolite and quickly looked away. He looked at his room and said, "Can we go to my room to talk?"
"Is there anything that can't be said here?" Yan Xi asked tentatively.
Lin Minghe glanced at the room behind him again, was silent for a moment, and nodded.
Seeing him like this, Yan Xi understood even if he was stupid.
Lin Minghe should have known that he was being monitored a long time ago.
"Okay, let's go to Fourth Brother's room. It just so happens that I haven't been to Fourth Brother's room for a long time." Yan Xi smiled slightly and walked out of the room.
In fact, the original owner liked playing with Lin Minghe when he was a child.
As an adopted son, in the beginning, many people actually disliked the original owner and looked down on him in their hearts. Only Lin Minghe was willing to talk to him and play with him.
But later, as the original owner was increasingly favored by Old Master Lin, other people began to approach him intentionally or unintentionally. He had more playmates and was praised more highly, so the original owner naturally ignored Lin Minghe.
In addition, Lin Minghe rarely came back after he went to junior high school, so the two of them had even less time to meet. Every time they met, they just nodded and exchanged simple pleasantries, and there was no communication at all.
Perhaps... Lin Minghe is the only person in the Lin family who treats the original owner sincerely.
So he should know the original owner's role and want to save him.
Yan Xi followed Lin Minghe to his room.
Lin Minghe's room is relatively simple compared to the original owner's room, but it looks also grand, comfortable, spacious and bright.
As soon as Yan Xi entered, Lin Minghe closed the door.
Yan Xi subconsciously looked at him with a wary and alert look.
Lin Minghe was immediately at a loss, "Well... walls have ears."
Yan Xi nodded in understanding, his eyes softening, "Yeah."
He glanced at Lin Minghe's room and said to ease the atmosphere, "It seems like nothing has changed here."
Hearing this, Lin Minghe was slightly stunned, then curved his eyes, "I didn't expect you still remember."
Yan Xi put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head and smiled, "I have a pretty good memory, of course I remember."
The boy's smile is so pure and beautiful, his eyes are clear and bright without any impurities, just as innocent and pure as he was at the beginning.
Lin Minghe was slightly startled and lowered his eyes, "I thought you didn't remember."
Hearing this tone, Yan Xi stopped talking.
Judging from his love-brained...ah...experience of being in love for more than a dozen lifetimes, this Lin Minghe is most likely...interested in the original owner.
"Yanxi." Lin Minghe took a step forward, clasped his wrist, and looked into his eyes intently, his eyes showing restrained and forbearing emotions. "Come with me."
"Ah?" Yan Xi was confused.
He looked at Lin Minghe's hand, instinctively pulled it out, took a step back and kept his distance.
Seeing him like this, Lin Minghe froze his hands in mid-air and looked at him with a bit of disappointment, "I know you will find what I said a bit abrupt, but I can't bear to see you continue to be..."
Before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Lin Minghe suddenly tensed up.
Sure enough, the next second, the footsteps stopped at the door and someone knocked on his door.
"Knock-knock—"
"Master Minghe, the old man asked me to call you over. He has something to say to you."
He is the old housekeeper beside Old Master Lin.
The old butler looks kind and wears a standard professional smile every day, but in fact he is even more cruel than Old Master Lin.
