Chapter 22 Short-lived Ghost
After dinner, we all sit in the living room to digest the food, drink tea and chat.
Lin Yaoyu told interesting stories about the flight base, and the brothers and sisters listened with great interest.
Although they have all lived in military compounds with their elders since childhood, they are not really familiar with the Air Force.
Grandpa Lin, Uncle Lin, and Father Lin are all in the army, and Lin Yaoyu is the only one in the family who is in the air force.
Several people were chatting animatedly here. Aunt Lin wanted to give the younger generation some space to spend time together, so she went upstairs to rest.
As he left, he did not forget to instruct: "Ah Yu, Aunt Xu has tidied Luochuan's room. It's on Xiuzhu's right. You can take him there later."
"I got it, Mom," Lin Yaoyu responded.
Ling Luochuan stood up politely and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Auntie, for your trouble."
"It's okay, it's okay, you guys can chat, Auntie will go back to her room to rest."
As she spoke, she waved for him to sit down, then walked up the stairs with an elegant gait.
Lin Yaowen was still listening to his elder brother's speech carefully, and was very excited. He said: "Control tower, control tower, if you hear me, please answer."
"Brother, look at me and see if I can imitate you."
He gestured in the air with his claws and fangs bared.
Xiuzhu looked at his silly look and laughed so hard that she covered her stomach with her hands.
"Hahaha, Lin Yaowen, you look like a monkey." She hit him mercilessly.
Lin Yaowen was not convinced, but he could never win over Xiuzhu, so he hugged Lin Yaoyu's arm and said, "Brother, you see, Lin Xiuzhu always bullies me like this."
Lin Yaoyu pushed him away with disgust and sat next to Ling Luochuan.
In a joking tone, "You are the younger brother, so what's wrong with letting your sister tease you? What Xiuzhu said is true, he really is like a monkey."
After saying that, he looked at Xiuzhu and winked at her.
"Hmph, you two are in the same group. You always take Xiuzhu's side." Yao Wen felt frustrated. How could he forget that his elder brother treated Xiuzhu much better than him?
"Okay, stop acting like a little girl and complaining."
"And your thin arms and legs are too unlike a man from our Lin family. Tomorrow your brother Luochuan and I will take you to the training ground."
Seeing his brother being so spoiled, Lin Yaoyu couldn't help but talk more.
The Lin brothers and sisters were chatting and laughing.
Only Ling Luochuan remained quiet and sat aside with a cool temperament.
He is a person with very calm emotions. When he sees someone he is interested in, he will just pay more attention to them and will not show enthusiasm like the Lin brothers and sisters.
For example, he really likes to see Xiuzhu laugh.
Her smile is like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving, with a lively light flashing in her eyes and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
But he only looked in Xiuzhu's direction with his cold eyes casually, and did not join in the conversation or try to fit in.
He has a very ordinary relationship with his parents. He has been living with his grandfather since he was a child and received a strict education.
When he was a teenager, he had no friends of his own and could only interact with children of families with whom he had a vested interest.
After being admitted to the Air Force Academy and entering the Air Force Base for training, he realized belatedly that he seemed to be out of place.
Everyone around him has joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but he doesn't seem to have too much emotional fluctuations.
Making friends with Lin Yaoyu was an accident. He was sunny and cheerful, so I didn't mind his indifference and continued talking to him as usual.
At first he felt it was very noisy, but gradually, he actually began to like this feeling.
I have a friend who is really good at nagging.
Now he is very glad that he chose to listen to Lin Yaoyu, came to the Lin family, and met such a smart and beautiful girl.
She is full of energy and vitality, as warm and bright as the spring sunshine, and every movement is filled with the rhythm of life and youthful vitality.
That is something he doesn't have, and it makes people feel endless vitality and hope.
*
It was early morning, and crystal dewdrops rolled down the broad leaves of the grass and trees, bringing with them a cool scent of morning dew.
Xiuzhu and her cousin were walking and chatting in the military compound.
My cousin is having a day off today, and thinking about the fright she had yesterday, I took her to the department store to shop, hoping to soothe her frightened little heart by buying her things.
"Sister, I want to buy a pair of leather shoes. I wonder if they are beige."
"And the skirts should be in brighter colors, and I don't know if there are many styles," Xiuzhu raised the corners of her mouth, walked lightly, and muttered her requests expectantly.
"You'll know when you get there. If you don't like anything, just buy some cloth and make it yourself."
"My colleague introduced me to a tailor with excellent skills. Let's go and make some autumn clothes." Xiuli took her hand and chatted with her interestedly.
Today they got up early and the weather was cool, so they decided to walk to the department store, which would take them about half an hour.
Just as they walked out of the door, the two were chatting enthusiastically when they were interrupted by a female voice.
"Cousin, what a coincidence. Where are you going?" Zhao Xiaoyuan said cheerfully, walking towards Xiu Li with a smile.
But his eyes were fixed on the girl next to him with an outstanding appearance. She was wearing a light blue dress, with fair and delicate skin, exquisite facial features and a slim figure. She was an extremely rare and stunning beauty.
A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and asked Xiang Xiuli with a smile: "Sister, is this your friend?"
Xiuli and Xiuzhu were both a little surprised that she would ask this. After all, they had met a few days ago and had an unpleasant argument. How could she have forgotten about it after so long?
Xiuzhu was so beautiful that Xiuli suspected that she was pretending not to know her to cover up her embarrassment that day.
He replied in a dissatisfied tone: "This is my cousin, Lin Xiuzhu, didn't you meet her a few days ago?"
The smile on Zhao Xiaoyuan’s face froze. Cousin Lin Xiuzhu? The daughter of the wealthy Lin family’s younger brother’s wife?
Didn't he die a long time ago? Oh, by the way, she was reborn, and Lin Xiuzhu is not dead yet.
But how come she is in Jing City now?
She had only seen her once in her previous life, and she remembered it very clearly. It was at the end of 1965, when their family came to Beijing to celebrate the Spring Festival.
In her previous life, Lin Xiuzhu met Ling Luochuan at that time, and then she got engaged to Ling Luochuan in early 1966.
And this is the time when Lin Yaoyu first met Ling Luochuan at the Lin family when he was on vacation and went home to attend his cousin's wedding.
It was obvious that she met him first, but she didn't seize the opportunity at that time.
After her rebirth, she must first occupy the position in his heart, and she should be the distinguished wife of the leader.
They had arrived at the military compound a few days ago, but were told by the guards that the Lin family did not allow them, the Zhao family, to enter.
The whole family deserved to die.
She was originally very lucky today as she met Lin Xiu Li as soon as she arrived, but her plans were disrupted by this sudden change.
Xiu Li looked at San Ya in front of her without saying a word, her face turning pale and dark, and she was too lazy to pay attention to her changeable mood.
For fear of disturbing their good mood, he took Xiuzhu and walked past her and continued forward.
"Sister, your cousin seems a little strange," Xiuzhu asked puzzledly.
It felt that the way San Ya looked at her was very different from the first time she met her. The way she looked at her just now was as shocking as if she had been resurrected from the dead.
It was really strange. She was a grown person, but she felt uncomfortable when being looked at in that way.
"Don't pay attention to her. The Zhao family is all bad. It's strange to see any normal people in them," Xiu Li complained.
She didn't spend much time with this cousin, as she only met her around Bai Huifen. She really couldn't like her and was even a little annoyed with her.
Every time she looked pitiful, but she never refused to do anything Bai Huifen asked her to do. It was because of her that the Zhao family benefited greatly in the past few years.
When Zhao Xiaoyuan came to her senses, she saw that the two men had already walked far away. She did not go forward to chase them. She wanted to go home and think about what to do next in response to this sudden change.
He looked at the slim and pretty figure with complicated eyes, and after a long time, a strange sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He murmured, "What's the point of being beautiful? You're still a short-lived ghost."
