Jian Zhizhen remembers it very clearly.
In the first episode, she handed Lin Yi a chestnut pastry.
He said himself that he doesn't like sweets.
Although I ate it later, it was because I still had a simple memory in my mind and was familiar with the taste.
Lin Zong and Lin Yi have lived together for so many years, how could they not know their son's tastes?
So it's obvious they're testing him!
Fortunately, Jiang Fang heard what Jian Zhizhen said, and his response came from the other end: "Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken? I've never liked sweets."
Lin Zong laughed awkwardly: "Oh, right, indeed. I just came back from abroad recently, and I'm jet-lagged, so my memory is all over the place and I got it wrong."
Upon hearing this, Jian Zhizhen anxiously reminded Jiang Fang, "He's just testing us. Third Brother, you must not let your guard down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yunfei's voice came from the other end: "Brother, you promised me that you would take us to our favorite amusement park when we were little for my twentieth birthday, do you remember?"
There's really no way to determine whether this is true or not.
She could only suggest to Jiang Fang: "Just ask her in return: 'Really? When did this happen?'"
Jiang Fang relayed Jian Zhizhen's words.
Lin Yunfei immediately replied, "It was when you celebrated my birthday last year."
Jian Zhizhen went through this point in time in her mind.
She had been closely following Lin Yi for the first two years and clearly remembered that around September last year, Lin Yi was live-streaming and filming various rare antelopes in F continent around the clock.
How could I possibly celebrate her birthday for her?
Jian Zhizhen quickly reminded Jiang Fang: "Third Brother, she's also testing you. At this time last year, Lin Yi was live-streaming about antelopes in France, so it's impossible for him to be celebrating her birthday."
Upon hearing his sister's prompting, Jiang Fang repeated, "You must be mistaken. I was filming antelopes around this time last year."
After a while, Lin Yunfei said apologetically, "Oh right, I remembered wrong. I was also filming in K country at this time last year... Maybe I shouldn't say that later."
Jian Zhizhen frowned involuntarily, muttering in dissatisfaction, "This father and daughter are testing me one after another. Third Brother isn't Second Brother, and I can't possibly know every detail. I'm probably going to be overwhelmed soon. I wish my Second Brother could come back..."
Qin Yubai, who was standing to the side, also looked grave, but he couldn't think of a way to get Lin Yi out for the time being.
Jian Zhizhen gripped the device on her wrist tightly, whispering worriedly, "I don't know how long Second Brother will sleep. Please come out... We need you so much..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zong's abrupt voice came from the other end: "Lin Yi, why is your device still an old model from several years ago? It's outdated. I bought you a new one."
Jian Zhizhen immediately shouted anxiously, "Don't let him move, brother—"
But the voice on the other end suddenly stopped.
Chien Chih-chen knew about this function, and the two people who needed to make a secret call had to properly strap the device to their wrists so that information could be transmitted through bone conduction.
The connection will be immediately interrupted if any device is removed to ensure information security.
So... Jiang Fang's equipment was forcibly removed by Lin Zong.
Jian Zhizhen hurriedly looked at Qin Yubai beside her, extremely nervous: "Bai Bai, what should we do? We've lost contact with Third Brother! Will he give himself away?"
Qin Yubai remained calm, took her hand, and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, it's alright. Even if they realize Jiang Fang's situation now, they won't have time to do anything in a short time. Let's go to the Lin family now and take him away directly."
As Jian Zhizhen listened to his gentle words, she also calmed down.
She thought for a while, then suddenly asked Qin Yubai, "Bai Bai, in your greenhouse, are there a lot of wood shavings used to keep the flowers warm?"
Qin Yubai didn't ask her what she wanted to do, and simply nodded: "Yes, I bought them by the bagful, I bought a lot, do you want them?"
Give me a bag.
"OK."
So after the two arrived at the Qin family's house, they immediately went to the greenhouse to get wood chips.
This type of wood shavings has a special name: sawdust.
In the cold winter, these are sprinkled near the roots of street trees in the city to keep them warm.
Jian Zhizhen weighed the sawdust and poured the appropriate amount of ammonium oxide and a trace amount of potassium nitrate into the sawdust bag.
Then, Qin Yubai drove her straight to the Lin family's house.
While sitting in the car, Jian Zhizhen kept shaking the bag.
After shaking it all the way, let these things mix thoroughly.
Then flatten and compact the bag to seal the mixture inside.
...
The Lin family.
In Lin Zong's study, Lin Zong held a teacup, casually leaning back on a single sofa, looking at Lin Yi and Lin Yunfei sitting opposite him.
The atmosphere was thick with the awkwardness of a power struggle that had just ended.
Lin Zong used great force to forcibly pull the device off Lin Yi's wrist, breaking the strap of the device.
He glanced down at the screen; all that was displayed was the time, nothing else.
When he looked up at Lin Yi again, the darkness in his eyes disappeared instantly, as if he had returned to his usual "benevolent father" self.
"Dad will get you the latest model tomorrow; it'll be more befitting of your status."
Lin Yi smiled calmly and said, "No need. With these kinds of tech products, it takes me a long time to get used to each new version. I'll just stick with this one. Dad, why are you so obsessed with my devices? You tried to force me to switch last year, but I didn't."
Lin Zong raised an eyebrow...
He actually remembers something from last year?
Could it be... that I really guessed wrong? He doesn't have multiple personalities?
However, he was still uneasy, so he casually stuffed Lin Yi's device into his pocket and continued to probe with a smile: "Yeah, you're such a sentimental kid. I remember you had a toy car when you were little, even though two of the wheels had fallen off, you still wouldn't throw it away..."
