Chapter 83 Blue Lotus
Lin Zhou turned his head to look out the window. The north wind blew a piece of snow off the tree and onto the ground. He rolled down the car window, and the music brought his thoughts back to the scene of the three of them having dinner together.
Lin Hai and Tian Xin are both people with strong personalities. They have different positions and find it difficult to agree with each other.
These two people are very important to him.
But whenever they meet, they start fighting and neither of them gives in. How can we make them resolve their grudge?
Before he could come up with a name, Lin Hai returned to the car.
"How is it? What did the doctor say?" Lin Zhou turned his head and asked.
Lin Hai said nothing, reached out to fasten his seat belt, and leaned back on the seat with his arms folded, thinking.
"Play a song!" he said.
Lin Zhou reached out and turned on the music, and the ethereal notes echoed in the carriage again.
"Change it!"
Several songs were played in succession, all of which were piano pieces with similar styles.
Lin Hai was annoyed. He suddenly sat up, frowned, and shouted, "Can't you change to something more passionate and unrestrained?"
Without waiting for Lin Zhou's reaction, he irritably opened the CD box beside him, rummaged through it for a long time, took out an album of Xu Wei, put it in and pressed play.
"Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom."
As soon as the sound of the guitar came out, Lin Hai felt comfortable and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
When the song reached the chorus, he couldn't help but humming along loudly: "The free world in my heart - so clear and lofty - blooming with never-fading blue lotus - ah -".
Seeing him acting crazy, Lin Zhou guessed that the doctor must have told him something bad.
"Why don't you take Auntie to the ancient city? A change of environment might be better!"
Lin Hai was still going crazy and did not respond to Lin Zhou's words.
"I'm talking to you!" Lin Zhou patted him.
"No! That place is too crowded, it's not as quiet as here."
"What did the doctor say just now?" Lin Zhou raised his hand to turn off the music, and the car suddenly became quiet!
"Don't shut it off, let me vent!"
When he turned it on again, the song that came out was "Sunny", a song Lin Zhou liked.
"Everything is like a movie—"
"Change to another song!" Lin Hai said.
"What's wrong? Don't you like Xu Wei's songs the most?"
"Except this one!"
"Isn't this his most popular song?" Lin Zhou was a little surprised. Is this guy sick again today?
"It's about women. Do you think I want to hear it now?" Lin Hai turned his head, his expression suddenly serious: "Lin Zhou, I really want to know what's so good about this woman that makes her so worth pouring out your heart and soul."
"You have such a deep prejudice against her that I don't want to talk about it."
"This time, I was almost implicated because of her, and she's even taking it a step further. Look at how she looks like she wants to eat someone for Zhang Shuai.
"Oh, I just don't understand. A rural girl is still entangled with other men. What is it about her that makes you treat her like this? Is Liang Xiao not good to you? Is Li Jing not as good as her? Who is not better than her?"
Lin Hai spoke out all his thoughts about Tian Xin without paying any attention to Lin Zhou's expression.
After going crazy, he switched back to "Blue Lotus" and hummed along again.
"I know there are many obstacles to being with her. I thought the biggest obstacle might be my family. I didn't expect you to think the same way!"
Lin Zhou stared at the steering wheel with a blank look in his eyes, looking very hurt. If even Lin Hai couldn't understand, who else could understand him?
"This isn't a hindrance, this is a disease! Are you out of your mind?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. I can't convince you!" Lin Zhou started the car. "Shall I take you home?"
"Do you have anything to do this afternoon?" Lin Hai asked.
"No!"
"Okay, then you accompany me to the old town. I'm going to buy some medicine!"
"What medicine isn't available in the New Town area? Why would you run so far?"
The car left the sanatorium and headed towards the old town.
"The doctor said that if she wants to get better, she needs to talk more about her past. But what can I say? I don't even want to think about those things.
"My mother was murdered like this because of him. He's been dead for so many years, but my mother still can't forget him. "Lin Zhou, what do you think I should do?" Lin Hai looked out the window thoughtfully.
This sentence brought Lin Zhou's thoughts back to ten years ago.
At that time, Lin Hai and he had just started high school. Their families had a good relationship and they had been attending the same school since childhood.
Lin Hai's father was in the furniture business, having started earlier than his father, and his family was well-off. Lin Hai's mother often invited his mother to visit their home, and the two of them got along like sisters.
His mother is an opera actor. In order to develop better, Lin Hai's mother used her connections to introduce many performance opportunities to her. Gradually, his mother became famous and became a famous figure in that circle.
At this time, Lin Hai's father met a scammer from somewhere and took him into the casino on the pretext of introducing business.
Once at the gambling table, his father became obsessed with gambling, losing more and more. The family business went bankrupt, and even the house they lived in was mortgaged.
He couldn't stand the endless debt collection, so he jumped from the building, leaving Lin Hai and his mother to clean up the mess.
Lin Hai's mother watched her husband fall to his death. She was traumatized and became crazy. Her mood fluctuated and she often took her anger out on Lin Hai.
After this incident, Lin Hai, a student, became taciturn and aloof. To avoid his creditors, he learned to counter-track them and disguise himself as someone who was not easy to mess with. Over time, his personality began to change.
His mother had divorced his father at that time. Out of gratitude for the sisters' kindness, his mother took out all her money to pay off Lin Hai's family debts and funded Lin Hai to finish college.
After Lin Hai graduated from university, he stayed with him. Later, when Lin Hai wanted to start his own business, he funded him to co-found a furniture factory to make a living.
The two have always considered each other like brothers, especially Lin Hai. Whenever he needs something, Lin Hai will do it, even if he disagrees. After his mother and father divorced, it was Lin Hai who stayed by his side. The two have supported each other to this day, inseparable.
So when he decided to protect Tian Xin, the first person he thought of was Lin Hai, and only Lin Hai could make him feel at ease.
"Hey, hey, hey, you ran a red light!" Lin Hai's shout interrupted Lin Zhou's thoughts.
"Ah? What happened?" Lin Zhou came to his senses and quickly stepped on the brakes.
"What were you thinking? You almost crossed the line!"
"Nothing, we're almost there!" Lin Zhou glanced at the street signs.
“Almost there!”
The car drove two streets and stopped in front of a pharmacy.
It was still early after buying the medicine, so Lin Hai saw a hot pot restaurant nearby and insisted on dragging Lin Zhou in to eat.
"Didn't you have enough for lunch?" Lin Zhou was a little surprised when he saw Lin Hai ordered a bunch of dishes.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm full or not. What matters is that you haven't eaten a single bite. Aren't you hungry?"
"I actually want to eat. Tian Xin finally cooked a meal for me... Forget it, I won't say anymore!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you now, where is the aura of Mr. Lin left..."
Lin Hai was complaining, but he rolled his eyes and suddenly stopped talking!
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhou asked.
"Why is she here?"
"Who is it?" Lin Zhou asked.
"There it is, look!"
Lin Zhou looked in the direction of Lin Hai's finger.
It's her!
