Chapter 253 Desire for Exclusivity
Lin Qi's voice was like the gurgling of water, without any emotion, calmly describing the situation of Xu Hexiao and Grandpa Xu when she met him. She described how she saw Xu Hexiao being bullied by a group of children, and how Xu Hexiao risked his life to save others...
As for her own part, she omitted it all and stopped at the time when Xu Hexiao and Grandpa Xu moved into the cowshed.
Lin Qi's voice had stopped, but Xu Zhaoyuan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Lin Qi looked at the lost Xu Zhaoyuan, got up and left the living room, heading towards the winery. Now, in addition to growing crops, she also has a new hobby, making wine.
"What happened next?" Xu Zhaoyuan caught up.
"What happened next?" Lin Qi smiled. "You can ask Ah He about what happened next."
I can't let you know that life will be much better in the future, because then all your guilt and self-blame will disappear.
Xu Zhaoyuan walked away with heavy steps. Lin Qi looked at his lonely back, feeling no emotion in her heart.
The door slammed shut, and Lin Qi waved her hand, and the whole yard was filled with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables.
"I accidentally brought out too many fruits. After brewing the wine in the morning, pick some fruits in the afternoon and give them to the children." Lin Qi murmured.
Xu Zhonghui, Xu Shuzhe and Xu Jiming were unaware of Xu Boxi's loss of contact. They only knew that their sister had gone on a mission, but they didn't expect that she had been gone for so many days. When they saw their sister had lost a lot of weight, the three brothers were stunned.
"Thin from hunger?" asked the second brother.
Xu Boxi nodded, "I was starved for six or seven days."
The third brother was heartbroken, "What kind of mission is this? It makes people go hungry."
"The women trafficking case also involved a drug trafficking gang. To be more precise, it was an entire industry chain of production, manufacturing and sales. Thousands of kilograms of drugs were seized and more than 20 women were rescued." The case is still under investigation, but the identities of the brothers are not ordinary, so there is nothing to hide.
"You handled such a big case the first time you took a mission!" The three younger brothers were stunned.
Xu Boxi nodded, his tone deep, "Don't be envious, this matter has also involved our mother."
"Wow?" The three younger brothers widened their eyes in surprise, "What's going on?"
Their intuition told them that this event would definitely be exciting!
It's a pity that they were not able to participate.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Boxi's mouth was dry. "This is what happened. Because of our mother's intervention, neither the hostages nor our side suffered any casualties this time, but the enemy suffered heavy casualties."
The second brother: "Those people will be sentenced to death if they are caught."
The third child: "Uncle Huazhang also knew that those people were destined to die, so he allowed our mother to blow up the village."
The fourth child: "There is a huge disparity in the number of people between the enemy and us. The enemy has guns and explosives. Uncle Huazhang is also concerned about the safety of his men. Since it can reduce casualties, he naturally has to choose the safest way. But what surprised me is that Uncle Huazhang actually trusts our mother so much. Why?"
"I know this." The second brother showed a mysterious expression.
Xu Boxi and the other two looked at him, "What do you know?"
"I heard Uncle Huazhang sigh. He said that our mother caused too much trouble in Yao County and the higher-ups couldn't handle it anymore, so they transferred our mother to the capital. As for what exactly 'too much trouble' means, I'm not really sure." The second child was very curious.
Xu Boxi thought for a moment, "It's probably something like metaphysics..."
Xu Boxi's four siblings were transfer students, and they were only eleven years old. When they first transferred to the class, their classmates were curious for a while. At first, everyone thought they were the children of some high-ranking official or wealthy businessman who came to gild their reputation. Later, after spending some time together, everyone was surprised to find that these four siblings were truly talented, knowledgeable, and had a very wide range of knowledge.
Although they were seven or eight years younger than them, their knowledge was much broader than theirs, which was a great blow to these gifted children. Someone once asked the four siblings, "You know everything from astronomy to geography. Did you start learning them in your mother's womb?"
The four siblings shook their heads. "Not in the womb, but when we were two and a half years old. At the age of two and a half, we read comic books with our mother, listened to stories told by our parents and grandfathers, and began to learn to read. Every year, we spent a lot of time learning."
Others have winter and summer vacations, but they only have more than a month of vacation throughout the year. And during this more than a month, they are also studying. So even though they are young, the time they spend on studying is not necessarily less than these people.
Perhaps it is because they have been extremely energetic since childhood, and they never get tired of training or studying.
Lin Qi often came to bring food to the children. She had always come with Xu Hexiao before, but this was her first time coming alone. From the time she stepped into the campus until she arrived at the college building where Xu Boxi and his four siblings were, she had been approached eight times.
When I came here with Xu Hexiao before, Xu Hexiao looked like he didn't want anyone to get close to him, so few people dared to approach him. But this time, even though Lin Qi had a cold face, there were still many admirers who flocked to her...
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Xu Boxi and her four siblings were pestering the teacher with questions when suddenly someone in the corridor called out, "Xu Boxi, your sister is here to see you again."
The four Xu Boxi siblings immediately frowned, "I already said it's not sister, it's mother."
"Oh, I know, it's mom. You must be afraid that we will pursue your sister, so you said that."
"Your sister is the only one here today. Why isn't your brother here?"
"Your brother used to guard your sister like a thief. If your brother doesn't come today, do I have a chance?"
"I want to be a pen pal with your sister. Which school does your sister go to? Can you give me her address?"
"They won't give it to us. They treat us like jackals and tigers, just like their brothers do. Let's go and ask for it ourselves."
"Let's go together. Whoever wins in the end will compete fairly and it all depends on their ability."
“…”
The faces of Xu Boxi and his four siblings turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Brother, someone wants to destroy our happy and complete family. What should we do?"
"Beat him up."
The boys in the class rushed out and ran downstairs one after another.
When Xu Boxi and his four siblings saw this, they simply jumped down from the corridor on the second floor and reached the ground before everyone else.
"Ouch! Someone jumped off the building!"
"Oh my god, four of them jumped off the building together!"
“The way they jump off the building is so cool!”
"Four of them are totally fine!"
“…”
It was just after school, and countless people witnessed the scene of Xu Boxi's four siblings jumping off the building.
"Xu Boxi, Xu Zhonghui, Xu Shuzhe, Xu Jiming, who told you to jump down? Each of you should write a 2,000-word self-criticism and hand it in to me before class tomorrow!" The teacher was furious and shouted at the railing on the second floor.
Xu Boxi's four siblings wilted like eggplants hit by frost.
"Damn, you guys are really trying too hard to keep us from getting close to your sister!"
"We are geniuses picked from thousands of people after all. Aren't we qualified enough to be your brother-in-law?"
"Even if you don't want to, can your sister stay single for the rest of her life?"
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, feeling angry and helpless.
"I told you, that's my mother!" The fourth child shouted angrily!
The boy's clear voice was so penetrating that it instantly quieted the entire scene.
Lin Qi: “…”
Maybe she should wear a mask next time she comes over.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xu Boxi especially raised the volume on the word "mom".
"I picked some fruits and brought them to you." Lin Qi touched Xu Boxi's face.
"Mom!" The second, third, and fourth children stood neatly in front of Lin Qi, shouting louder than Xu Boxi.
Lin Qi touched their heads one by one and said, "Be good, don't do such outrageous things next time. It would be bad if you scared your classmates."
The second, third, and fourth children all responded obediently, "We won't do that next time, Mom."
"Um, are you really their mother?" a boy asked with a red face.
"Yes, I am the mother of four of them, their biological mother. I am already over 30 years old. The one who came with me before is my lover." Lin Qi looked at the students present with a kind smile.
Students: “…”
I want to cry.
Their love ended before it even began.
Lin Qi just came to deliver the fruit and went back after that.
There were two bags of fruit, Xu Boxi took one bag, and Xu Zhonghui and others also took one bag.
Xu Boxi took the fruit back to the dormitory, and the girls in the class came over immediately, "Boxi, how did your mother maintain her looks? She looks like she's in her thirties, younger than us."
"My mother doesn't take any care of herself, she is naturally beautiful." Xu Boxi said as he distributed fruit to everyone.
"Is it true?" The girls didn't quite believe what Xu Boxi said.
"My mother doesn't put on anything except a little moisturizer in the winter, just like me." Xu Boxi raised her little face to them, "Do you look as good as my mother?"
“…”
They didn't know that Xu Boxi, who was usually aloof, actually had a narcissistic side.
In the boys' dormitory, everyone held an apple and ate it one bite after another as if to vent their anger. In less than half an hour, a bag of 40 to 50 kilograms of fruit was finished.
"Animals, they eat so much." The second brother said angrily. This was their weekly supply, but it was eaten up by the group in less than half an hour.
"Turn grief and anger into appetite!"
"Apart from anything else, the fruits your mother brought are really delicious! Next time your mother comes, please ask her where she bought them."
“My family grows it ourselves.”
"Do you have an orchard?"
"No, there's only one plant planted in the yard, so forget it."
"If there are no apples, then give me an apple tree seedling."
“No!”
"I've given up on being your stepfather, and you're not willing to give me even an apple sapling!"
"Still treat me as your stepfather. Next time my dad comes, try saying this in front of him."
"I dare not. If I look at your mother for one more second, your father's eyes will kill me. I used to think he was just protecting his sister, but now I think back, I realize how wrong we were. Were we blind to not see such a strong possessiveness and desire for exclusivity?"
"Hmph! You are selectively ignoring it!" How possessive his father is of his mother can be seen from the fact that he drove his three six-year-old brothers out of the main building.
Xu Hexiao, who was criticized by his own son, was driving the truck into the gate of his house.
After he parked the car, Lin Qi also came to the front of the car after hearing the sound, "You're back so soon?"
Xu Hexiao got out of the car and without saying a word, he hugged Lin Qi and kissed her, kissing her until her whole body was sore and she could only lean on his arms to breathe. Then he replied, "I've been away from you for too many days. I can't adapt."
