Xiao Jinhan lowered his gaze and caught the strange look in her eyes.
His eyes deepened slightly. He withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and replied in a low voice towards the door, "Understood, I'll be right there. Tell him to wait for me in the study."
"yes."
Xiao Jinhan sat up from the bed, his earlier interest almost completely dampened.
Lin Feng is back.
He turned to look at her and saw that she seemed to still be thinking about something.
He hadn't seen Huo Linfeng for a long time, and because of Sixteen's matter, their conversation might not be pleasant. He said in a low voice, "Wait for me here. I'll take you back to the old house tonight."
Tang Yaoyao didn't want to cause him any trouble, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
The only man who could cause such a sudden change in his emotions is Huo Linfeng.
She had met Huo Linfeng before, and he knew about this.
Honestly, she didn't really know how to face that man.
Sometimes, fate is just that ironic.
Huo Linfeng saved her in his previous life, and she stayed with him for a hundred years.
Every year after that, they waited for him to return, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, he was never heard from again.
Now, he has suddenly returned, and she is with Xiao Jinhan again.
She didn't know how to repay the kindness she felt towards her benefactor.
She remembered that she had thought about it before she met Xiao Jinhan.
If he is reborn as a human, and when they meet again, if he is a child, she will protect him for a lifetime.
If he were an animal, she would keep him by her side.
If he were a man, she would give herself to him.
If he were a woman, she would become his sworn sister.
But when it comes to feelings, it's really hard to say. At first, I was just teasing Xiao Laosi. I never thought I would give him my whole heart.
study.
Xiao Jinhan pushed open the door.
Huo Linfeng saw him, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards him: "Jin Han".
Aside from the fact that he was Yao'er's fiancé, he was very happy to see him again, just like when they were children, and he touched shoulders with him: "Long time no see."
"Um."
Huo Linfeng smelled a faint fragrance on him, which was not a men's perfume.
There was a hint of heaviness in his eyes, but he remained silent.
The two then sat down on the sofa.
Uncle Xu brought over a teacup: "Mr. Huo, please have some tea."
"Thanks."
After Uncle Xu left, Huo Linfeng asked, "How have you been these past years?"
"That's good. How about you?"
Huo Linfeng smiled, his voice as clear as jade: "That's very good too."
When Xiao Jinhan saw him smile, his eyes warmed slightly, and he thought of the times they spent together when they were children.
He asked in a low voice, "I heard you've been doing scientific research and even became a teacher. What, don't you plan to follow in your father's footsteps?"
Huo Linfeng shook his head: "You know, I don't like the backstabbing and infighting in the entertainment industry. Being a teacher and doing scientific research in my spare time is good for me."
Xiao Jinhan nodded, stopped talking about work, and asked, "Are you leaving again this time you've come back?"
"I'm not leaving."
Xiao Jinhan's eyes darkened slightly, but he remained silent.
"My mother is in poor health, and as her son, I need to be by her side."
Xiao Jinhan asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Um."
Huo Linfeng leaned back on the sofa: "When do you have time to play basketball? Think about it, the last time I played basketball was several years ago."
"I'm available anytime."
Upon hearing this, Huo Linfeng smiled again, his voice gentle and warm: "After all these years, you are still the same as when you were a child, never refusing anything I say."
Xiao Jinhan smiled but remained silent.
Huo Linfeng noticed the smile on his lips, somewhat surprised, yet also as if it were expected: "Your personality has changed somewhat."
What kind of changes?
Huo Linfeng picked up his teacup and said casually, "Before, you were always serious and had a cold face. But just now, from the moment you stepped into the study until now, you've smiled four times."
"You haven't changed at all; your observations are still so keen."
Huo Linfeng took a sip of tea, then stood up, looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes momentarily unfocused, before asking, "Is she alright?"
Ultimately, the two brothers could not get past this topic.
He knew who Huo Linfeng was referring to.
"She's fine."
Huo Linfeng chuckled softly, then his voice became slightly hoarse: "The truth is, my father asked me to come back and told me that Yao'er has been found, but he also told me that she is already someone else's fiancée."
After saying that, he turned around, leaned against the desk, tapped the surface with his long, slender hand, and raised an eyebrow: "Jin Han, I've waited all these years, tell me, should I give up?"
He seemed unable to answer this question for Huo Linfeng.
He wasn't Huo Linfeng, so he didn't know the depth of Huo Linfeng's long wait all these years, and could only remain silent.
"Is she at the mountain resort?"
Xiao Jinhan didn't hide it: "Yes, she's here."
"I met her when I was in Bincheng, but I didn't know at the time that she was Tang Yaoyao, my fiancée arranged by my parents."
Xiao Jinhan knew that this was somewhat hurtful to him, but he had no choice but to defend his feelings.
He looked up, the gentleness in his eyes gradually turning serious: "Linfeng, she will no longer be your fiancée."
Huo Linfeng frowned slightly, but did not speak.
He seemed to be processing the news.
"I was in a relationship with her without knowing the truth. Only after we got together did I find out that you and she were betrothed when you were children. But that was in the past. We are together now."
Huo Linfeng remained silent, his hands gripping the desk turning slightly white.
My breathing became heavy.
She looked up at him, her eyes, as white as the moon, held a hint of scrutiny, but in the end, she smiled gently: "I thought you wouldn't tell me yourself."
"Now that things have come to this, as your brother, it's only natural that I have to tell you."
Huo Linfeng looked at him and saw the determination and seriousness in his eyes: "My father said that you love her very much. It seems that this is true."
He didn't speak, but stared into his eyes, as if trying to find something within them.
"Lin Feng, about this matter, you..."
Huo Linfeng said, "You don't need to say anything, I know everything. Actually, after she suddenly disappeared, for so many years, I've been thinking that maybe she won't come back."
As he spoke, he walked over to him and sat down next to him again.
"This is an unexpected surprise for me, but my existence is not the same for you and Yao'er."
Xiao Jinhan remained silent; he was right.
"At first, I was quite angry when I found out, but then I thought, you didn't know about this either, it has nothing to do with you, and it has even less to do with her. In the end, Yao'er and I were just destined to meet but not to be together."
Xiao Jinhan was somewhat shocked, seemingly not expecting him to let go so easily.
Huo Linfeng smiled, just like he used to be, every smile of his had a heartwarming and healing quality: "Promise me one thing."
