"How did you end up here?" A soft voice came from behind him. Lin Chu stood beside him with a gentle and beautiful smile. In this somewhat cold morning, it seemed especially beautiful.
"Nothing much, so I came out to take a look."
Lin Chu looked up and saw Yan Beicheng's gentle and soft face with a pampering smile. She felt extremely awkward. In her panic, a light bulb lit up in her mind. She found a topic and pointed at Yan Beicheng's feet. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence that you're standing here. In the past, I buried something with a little brother. We agreed that when I turned 18, we would come back together to dig it out."
"What did you bury? A token of love?" Yan Beicheng naturally knew, so he did it on purpose.
Lin Chu rolled her eyes at him. "Children's things. When I was young, I thought they were treasures. Now that I think about it, it's interesting."
She was afraid that Yan Beicheng would think too much about her childhood sweetheart, so she took the initiative to explain, "When I was still living here when I was young, I came out to play one day and saw that little brother climb over the wall. I don't remember the specifics, but I vaguely remember that the little brother wore a very nice school uniform. He must have come from a good family, but I don't know what he suffered to make himself look so pathetic. "
Lin Chu looked at Yan Beicheng and smiled. "From then on, that little brother would come over every weekend. I saw that he was upset, so I talked to him and made him happy. I had a good life in the orphanage. Although I had no parents, the old director treated all of us like his own granddaughters. However, there was bound to be some quarrels among the children. Not all the teachers in the orphanage were like the old director, who did not discriminate between the children and the children. There were bound to be some children that they favored, and there were also some children that they had no affinity with and that they disliked inexplicably. Occasionally, I would also suffer a little. Now that I think about it, it wasn't a big deal. It was much better than being in the Lin family. But when I was young, I felt so wronged. "
"That little brother suddenly appeared. Although I had to make him happy from time to time, he was the one who tolerated me most of the time and never got angry with me. When I was wronged, I had to let him coax me. "As if recalling those days, Lin Chu smiled until her eyes narrowed.
"At that time, other than the dumplings and drumsticks for Chinese New Year, the only thing I wanted was to see my little brother every week. And every time he comes, he brings me delicious food. " Lin Chu said with a smile, "Later, we made an agreement to put our treasures together and bury them under this old locust tree. When I'm eighteen, I'll dig it out and give my most precious thing to him. "
At that time, her heart was in a dilemma. On one hand, she treasured it and couldn't bear to bury it, but on the other hand, she thought that he was a little older brother who treated her especially well, so how could she not bear to give it to him? He really shouldn't be so petty.
In the end, he buried it with tears in his eyes.
"It's just that I was suddenly adopted by the Lin family. Little Brother and I only agreed to wait here every weekend. We didn't have any way to contact each other. I'm just a kid, how could I have a phone? They lost contact just like that. He must have come later. I don't know how long he has been waiting for me. I wonder if he knows that I have already been taken away. "
"What about the things inside?" Yan Beicheng pointed. He was curious about what Lin Chu had buried back then.
"It's still inside. I made an agreement with him to dig it out together," Lin Chu said. "I was thinking that if I'm fated to meet him in the future, I'll dig it out with him. If I can't meet him again, then I'll leave the things inside as a souvenir."
Lin Chu smiled awkwardly, as if she was afraid that Yan Beicheng would be jealous. She said fawningly, "It's just that after so many years, I actually can't remember what that little brother looks like. It's just a vague impression. So even if I meet him again later, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize him. Maybe we've already met in the past and brushed past each other. Actually, I just didn't recognize him. I think he might not be able to remember what I look like. After all, I was so young back then. It's different from now. "
But for some reason, when Yan Beicheng was listening to her, he was still smiling and in an extremely good mood. But when he heard Lin Chu's last few words, his face suddenly darkened.
His pair of black eyes glanced at Lin Chu, as if he was giving her a small black account. That gaze full of deep meaning really made the back of Lin Chu's neck cold. She also didn't know what she did wrong, being looked at by him made her feel extremely guilty.
Yan Beicheng walked back without saying a word. Although he didn't shake off the hand in his pocket, he didn't have any intention of talking to her anymore. From the looks of it, he was sulking with her.
Lin Chu was especially puzzled. She felt that she was really innocent.
But he suddenly fell out with her without saying a word. Lin Chu didn't want to get used to his bad habit. If he got used to falling out with her like this, she wouldn't be able to live her life in the future!
She had just forgiven him for yesterday's matter. She was magnanimous and didn't argue with him. Today, he took the bait. If she didn't get angry easily, wouldn't that make him nervous?
Lin Chu snorted angrily in her heart. She also lost her temper. With a cold face, she pulled her hand out of his pocket. She didn't say anything to Yan Beicheng and walked in front of him into the house.
After eating for a while at the dining table, everyone noticed that the atmosphere between Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng wasn't right. The two of them hadn't spoken since they entered the house.
Mo Jinxi's eyes rolled back and forth between the two of them.
Lin Chu didn't care about Yan Beicheng, but she didn't care about the others at all. She was the same as always.
When it was time to leave, the old dean was still worried. He secretly pulled Lin Chu over and asked in a low voice, "What happened to you and Beicheng? You were fine this morning. Why did you suddenly stop talking? "
"It's nothing. I just can't get used to some of his bad habits." Lin Chu said nonchalantly, but she couldn't help but look at Yan Beicheng. Who knew that she would be caught by Yan Beicheng? She immediately retracted her gaze guiltily. Her ears were a little red.
The old dean didn't try to persuade Lin Chu anymore. He knew that she was a child with a sense of propriety. Besides, it wasn't good to meddle too much in the affairs of young people.
But he was still afraid that the two of them would really quarrel and become enemies. When he sent the two of them to the door, he handed a wooden food box to Yan Beicheng. "Yesterday afternoon, I saw that you were quite willing to eat the snacks I made. Since I couldn't sleep this morning, I woke up early and made a few dishes. Bring them back to eat. You usually eat too much exquisite food. Eat these for a change of taste. "
This box of snacks didn't look like much, but they were all counted. In order to make these, he didn't know what time he had to wake up. He probably didn't sleep for an hour or two.
"Dean …" Lin Chu's eyes were a little red.
No one had ever gone to so much trouble for her.
She knew why the old dean did all this. He just wanted to treat Yan Beicheng better. He wanted Yan Beicheng to remember and treat her well.
The old dean had dedicated everything to this orphanage. She didn't have such good conditions, so she could only do what she could.
"Silly child, why are you crying? I don't sleep much now. I can't even sleep if you let me, "the old dean said and held Yan Beicheng's hand again. "I don't know why the two of you quarreled again this morning. It's normal for you young people to quarrel occasionally. I don't care about that. But you can't bully Lin Chu just because she doesn't have a family. Although I only have these old bones left, I am still part of her family. If you bully her in the future, I won't let you off even if I have to use these old bones of mine. I have to let you know that Lin Chu … Lin Chu has a family! I haven't been able to protect her since she was a child. I know that she's suffering in the Lin family, but I haven't been able to bring her back. "
"What are you saying?" Lin Chu said with red eyes. "This isn't your responsibility."
