After closing the door gently, An Xin turned around and looked into the room. At this moment, Number Five had already walked to the sofa in front of the French window and sat down. He looked up elegantly and waved at her with a smile.
"Come, come and sit."
The young lady obediently walked up and sat beside Number Five. She looked at Xiao Wu and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she couldn't help but ask,
"Xiao Wu, Lin Feng and Senior Number One … Is there something going on?"
In response to the young lady's question, Number Five smiled and shook his head. He didn't answer directly.
"There's no rush."
"Answer a question for me first."
"Since Number One and the rest want to talk to Lin Feng alone, why do you care so much about Shangxin?"
The young lady almost subconsciously blurted out:
"Judging from Number One and the rest's attitude just now, it seems to be something important, right?"
Indeed.
Based on her understanding of the seniors, the fact that they could purposely send everyone away and leave only one person behind to talk to them meant that the matter was extremely important.
Number Five smiled and shook his head again.
"That's not an answer to my question."
An Xin was stunned.
Number Five looked at the young lady in front of him and reminded her thoughtfully, "Even if it's important, it's something that Number One and the rest want to deal with with Lin Feng. It doesn't have much to do with your Shangxin."
"How could that be?" An Xin retorted without hesitation, "Lin Feng's matter is naturally my matter —"
She suddenly stopped when she said the last half of her sentence.
As if she had vaguely grasped something, the young lady raised her head and looked at Number Five in front of her with a stunned expression on her face.
Number Five smiled faintly, but there was a tinge of helplessness in his smile.
"Listen to it —"
"You … You're already saying these things so naturally. You don't even need to think before you say it."
"So, this is exactly the answer I want to give you."
"Yes."
"They're talking about something important next door."
"But because of this, I can't let you go with them."
An Xin bit her lip and asked, "Why?"
Number Five didn't feel any displeasure from the girl's questioning tone. He just continued to speak calmly, "Because compared to Lin Feng, you should be more concerned about yourself right now."
The girl retorted indignantly.
"I'm fine —"
But his voice gradually weakened under Number Five's gaze.
"Really … I'm fine."
Number Five looked at the girl in front of him, whom he had treated like his own sister for many years. His gaze was filled with pity and reproach.
"You."
"You're still being stubborn even now."
"Actually, this kind of willfulness will also cause trouble for others who care about you, you know?"
The girl lowered her head and said in a low voice,
"But … I really can't help but worry about him —"
Number Five's tone, however, gradually turned into a rare hint of sternness. "Then do your best to endure it. You are not a silly girl. If you truly care about someone, then you should calm yourself down and understand the situation between the two of you. The problem does not lie with Lin Feng. No matter how many difficulties and troubles he encounters, he will always have a way to overcome them. It is not that he cannot survive without you, but your current illness is the biggest problem."
"You haven't even taken care of yourself, and you're only thinking about taking care of others."
"This is irresponsible towards yourself, and even more so towards others."
"If you can't even distinguish between priorities like this, then you really disappoint me."
The series of words was a rare reprimand for Number Five, who had always been quiet and indifferent.
Being reprimanded, An Xin kept her head lowered and could not raise it.
"I know —"
"But …"
The girl suddenly raised her head at that moment. She pursed her lips tightly, but her eyes had turned red at some point in time.
"But Sister Xiao Wu, I really can't help it."
"I'm working hard."
"But, it's really hard —"
Looking at the girl in front of him who was about to cry, Number Five finally could not help but let out a long sigh. He extended his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
"You …"
"You're just a silly girl."
"From back then until now, you've always been like this. When you're smart, there's nothing to say. But when you're stupid and stubborn, it makes people angry and distressed. Of course, you have the right to make your own decisions, so your seniors and I have always respected your choices. Just like what happened back then, and just like now, when you need us to help you cover up your lies and keep it a secret."
"Although I may not agree with it, I still respect your personal opinion."
"But you have to know … your Sister Xiao Wu has always hoped that you can be more mature and calm when it comes to the relationship between you and Lin Feng."
"Think about it carefully. This kind of choice and decision, is it really a good thing for the person you like."
"Don't think about carrying everything by yourself."
"When two people get along, the ideal situation is always to trust each other, stand shoulder to shoulder, and share the burden together."
"If you really like him, then don't only think about him."
"Go and try to trust him."
"Believe, even if it's that guy who you always call an idiot, he can actually carry a lot of things —"
Anxin moved her body and buried her head in Number Five's chest. She seemed to be mumbling something in a low voice.
She mumbled in a low voice, "But can that idiot really …"
Number Five couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently stroked the girl's soft hair.
"Silly girl."
"If he can't even fulfill this small request, how can that idiot be worthy of your love?"
"Didn't I tell you to have faith in him?"
The girl nestled in Number Five's arms suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Wu, her eyes widening.
"Then, so —"
"What the seniors want to talk to Lin Feng about …"
Number Five smiled. "It's a very troublesome matter, but it's true that only he can handle it, and it's something that he must handle."
…
At the same time, in the room next to the hotel.
Lin Feng was also sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
To be more precise, he had been forced to sit on the sofa by Number Three with a dangerous smile on his face a moment ago.
Thus, at this moment, a certain someone simply couldn't sit or stand still. His entire body felt uncomfortable, especially when he met the strange gazes of the seniors in the room who seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally looking at him. He felt his hair stand on end.
Lin Feng forced a smile on his face as he gulped and looked at Number One.
"Senior …"
"I'm a little sleepy, why don't —"
But before he could finish, Number One raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "Sleepy? You looked pretty energetic when you were downstairs. You don't look like that. "
Number Three, who had been leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, teased.
"Besides, aren't you the one who's always been curious about what we did in the afternoon?"
"What? I was going to tell you, but now you don't want to hear it?"
Lin Feng said with a sad face.
"I don't want to, I don't want to …"
Curiosity was one thing.
But in the face of the desire to survive, curiosity was nothing.
It was obvious that nothing good was going to happen tonight!
But it was too late to regret it now. Number Two snorted. "You can listen if you want, but you can't listen if you don't want. How can something so good fall on you?"
This sentence was simply rude and unreasonable, and it also directly blocked the only way out of a certain someone's remaining hope.
When these seniors in front of him started to act like bandits without any regard for their demeanor as seniors, even if he had ten thousand ways to deal with them, he could only obediently accept his fate and be slaughtered.
So, Lin Feng became dejected.
"Fine.
What do you want to say? I'm listening! "
He looked like he was ready to go all out.
Number One and the others looked at each other. Number One nodded at Number Four.
"Give it to him, Number Four."
Lin Feng subconsciously raised his head and saw Number Four tossing something over to him.
A certain someone subconsciously reached out to catch it and looked down.
It was a stack of documents.
