Su Chuanlin remained absent-minded even during dinner, which Nan Sheng, who was sitting opposite him, noticed.
After dinner, Nan Sheng found Su Chuanlin in the study. He was sitting at the computer desk, staring at the computer screen, motionless.
"Brother! Second brother?!" Nan Sheng pushed open the door and walked in.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Chuanlin paused, and the hand holding the mouse moved slightly.
"Little dog, how did you get up here?" Su Chuanlin tried to keep his tone light.
"What's wrong? Maybe you can come up, but I can't? What are you doing? Why do you look so worried?"
Nan Sheng walked over with her hands behind her back and was about to sit in Su Chuanlin's chair.
"That's really strange. Why don't you go and be all lovey-dovey with your man? Why are you coming to see your brother?" Just as Nan Sheng was about to sit down, Su Chuanlin lifted her up.
At this point, Nan Sheng immediately gave Su Chuanlin a big smile, but Su Chuanlin saw that smile as having ill intentions.
"What do you want? Tell me what's wrong. I can't help you with anything that's not about money."
"Brother, how can you talk like that?" Nan Sheng's voice was already soft, and when she deliberately lowered her voice, Su Chuanlin got goosebumps all over.
"Are you thinking of running back to Beicheng?" Su Chuanlin raised an eyebrow at Nan Sheng, and seeing Nan Sheng's reaction, he knew he had guessed correctly.
Nan Sheng immediately stepped forward and hugged Su Chuanlin's arm, shaking it incessantly: "Brother! You're so smart, you guessed perfectly, I knew you would help me, right?"
Nan Sheng blinked after she finished speaking.
Su Chuanlin pulled his arm away: "No, how can I help you? Do you think I can beat those guys downstairs? Besides, you've only been back for a few days. You've got your heart all set on that kid, haven't you?"
Nan Sheng continued to hold Su Chuanlin's hand: "No, you just need to use your words and speak up for me. At least I'm not all alone!"
"Besides, a day without him feels like three autumns. In two more days, it will be a year. He doesn't know anyone in Beicheng. I want to go and keep him company. Brother, you know Han Baobao is very lonely."
Su Chuanlin almost lost his composure when he heard the first half of the sentence, and then he heard "Han Baobao" in the second half? This is really a dog-torturing situation; every time he talks to him, it's always about that Han Baobao.
I'm so embarrassed.
"Okay." But she agreed anyway.
"!!! I heard you agreed. So please arrange a private plane for me tomorrow, at noon, and I'll arrive in the afternoon so I can have dinner with them."
"No, I did promise you, but you didn't tell me you were leaving tomorrow. Are you kidding me?! Tomorrow is only the third day!"
So this little girl treats this place like a hotel?
"I'm not listening to your nonsense. You just promised me. I'm going out now." Nan Sheng said and ran away.
“…” Su Chuanlin.
Okay, so the baby is the one who's a baby, and I'm a turtle.
After Nan Sheng left, Su Chuanlin started smoking in the study again. He suddenly regretted his decision to agree to investigate the matter with Nan Sheng. He was just bored and had nothing better to do.
Downstairs, after Nan Sheng told her family about her plan to return to Beicheng, Su Zhihong was the first to object.
"No, Shengbao, you've only been back for a few days, and you're already rushing back. I nagged you for ages when you went to study in Beicheng for Yin Han. Now that you're finally back, you're going back for him again. Besides, there's still a long winter break, isn't there?"
"Grandpa, didn't my parents tell you that I'm dating Yin Han? Don't you know best how lovey-dovey young couples are? Wasn't that how you and Grandma were?" Nan Sheng clearly remembered her grandma telling her that when she and her grandpa first started dating, he would ride his bicycle over a hundred kilometers late at night just to see her, saying he missed her.
"When did your parents ever tell me that!" Su Zhihong was about to turn around and question the couple after learning that Nan Sheng had already talked to Yin Han, but he didn't realize that he had just seen the couple disappear around the corner upstairs.
Yang Lanjia was startled by Su Zhihong's loud voice, and calmed her chest: "Are you trying to scare me to death! Didn't we already guess what Shengbao and Xiaohan were talking about a while ago?"
"No, old woman, I'm just saying this because our Shengbao is still so young," Su Zhihong's attitude softened.
Yang Lanjia rolled her eyes at him and said coolly, "Still young? Why didn't you say I was still young when you kidnapped me when I was 16?"
"..." Su Zhihong touched his nose guiltily. How could these be the same?
Hearing her grandparents' conversation, Nan Sheng knew something was up, so she clung to Yang Lanjia's arm and started acting cute.
......
the next day.
Nan Sheng got up early and was startled when she opened the door by Su Chuanlin standing there: "Hey, big dog, are you trying to scare your only sister to death?"
Su Chuanlin remained silent, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"What's wrong? What kind of look is that? You're not telling me I can't leave today, are you?" Nan Sheng nudged Su Chuanlin's chest.
Su Chuanlin pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Sheng Sheng, come to the study with me."
When Nan Sheng heard Su Chuanlin's tone, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
In the study.
Su Chuanlin sat down and turned on his computer, gesturing for Nan Sheng to sit down: "Sheng Sheng, it took me some time to find out what happened to Yin Han in prison after you asked me to do it. I found out yesterday that he... is indeed not doing well."
Upon hearing that it was about Yin Han, Nan Sheng stiffened, her voice trembling slightly, and she even hesitated to sit down: "Brother, what... what do you mean? Is it not good?"
Nan Sheng guessed that Yin Han wasn't having a good time inside, but given Su Chuanlin's depressed mood all day yesterday, she didn't dare to guess any further.
"I wasn't originally planning to tell you, but after hesitating, I felt it wouldn't be fair to Yin Han. He suffered all that because of you, so... even though I guessed you'd find it hard to accept after seeing it, I still hope you can remain calm after reading it..."
Su Chuanlin pulled her down to sit, and just as he was about to let go, Nan Sheng grabbed his arm tightly.
"Sheng Sheng, if you really don't want to see it, you don't have to open it. The choice is yours." Su Chuanlin held Nan Sheng's arms, looking at her reddened eyes, and felt bad too.
Nan Sheng turned her head and focused her gaze on the computer screen, looking at the dozens of videos on it, her hand trembling as she held the mouse.
Finally, she mustered up the courage to click on it, and stared intently at the page after the video started playing.
Su Chuanlin sat beside her without saying a word.
P.S.: Here we go!
