"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go! Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go see your father..."
"Okay, Mom, you go quickly!" Gu Tingxiao watched his mother leave, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Gu Tingxiao was lying on the rocking chair where his father usually lay, half closing his eyes comfortably. Unexpectedly, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he opened his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Gu Tingxiao sat up, his eyes full of surprise.
"Let me see your feet."
The person standing in front of Gu Tingxiao was Lin Xi.
"Oh! I thought you were here to see me!"
"Huh? I'm coming to see your feet. Does that mean I'm not coming to see you? Aren't these feet a part of your body?" Lin Xi really wanted to open his head and see what was inside. Why was he jealous of her?
"I would be happier if you said you came to see me." Gu Tingxiao didn't want Lin Xi to want to see him just because of his injury. He admitted that he was being a little too picky.
"I just came to see you, and checking your leg injury is just a side note. Is that okay?" Lin Xi crossed her arms and looked at him with amusement.
"Yeah!" Gu Tingxiao didn't dare to say that it would have been better if she hadn't said the second half of the sentence, but when he thought of Lin Xiken changing her words for him, he couldn't stop feeling happy. He felt that the other moments were too insignificant and there was no need for him to fuss about them.
"What did the doctor at the hospital say? Is there anything wrong with your leg?"
"It's okay. The doctors in the hospital said it was a miracle. It's all thanks to you, otherwise I would be a cripple in the future." Gu Tingxiao felt that becoming a cripple was not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing was that he would lose Lin Xi because of it.
"I'm glad you're okay. By the way, why don't you go back and lie down? What are you doing here?" Lin Xi was a little confused. Although it was winter, it was noon! The sun had already risen to the middle of the sky. Isn't it hot?
"That's because..." Gu Tingxiao did not hide it from Lin Xi, but chose to tell her everything that happened after he returned home, wanting her to make decisions for him!
"Who are you? Du Qiao is very likely your biological elder brother?" Gu Tingxiao's words shocked Lin Xi a little. No, it should be said that she was very shocked. It turned out that there were such coincidences in the world. She thought that only she and Chu Ran, two time travelers, would have such a coincidence!
"Well, my mother means, do you think I should confess to him?"
"What about you? Do you have your own opinion? Do you want to say it? If you really don't want to say it, I believe your aunt and the others won't force you." Lin Xi didn't dare to give him advice easily. It was better for him to make the decision on such an important matter himself, so that he would not regret it later.
"I... I'm really conflicted. If they deliberately didn't want to find me, then I wouldn't have any attachment at all. But now that I know that's not the case, I'm starting to wonder whether I should tell him or not."
Gu Tingxiao looked at Lin Xi, sincerely hoping that she could give him some advice.
Seeing that Gu Tingxiao was like a lost lamb, Lin Xi couldn't help but touch his head to comfort him. "No matter what decision you make, I will support you and I will always stand behind you and accompany you."
"Well, thank you. I'll think about it and decide." Gu Tingxiao was no longer so confused after hearing Lin Xi's words. Yes! What am I afraid of! Just think of it as another relative...
"There's no need to be polite between us. As long as you've thought it through, I'll support you." Lin Xi said sincerely. In fact, deep down she hoped he would say it. After all, his biological mother had become insane because of him, and he should go and see her.
"Well, I'll tell you when I think about it."
"Have you eaten?" Gu Tingxiao felt a little regretful, thinking that if she had come earlier, she could have made it in time for dinner.
"have eaten…"
"it is good…"
After that, there was an awkward moment between the two, and no one spoke.
"Xiaoxi, you're here?"
When Lin Xi was hesitating whether to say that she wanted to leave, Gu's mother heard the voice and came out.
"Well, auntie, I came to take a look at Gu Tingxiao's legs." Lin Xi explained briefly.
"If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to come over for dinner. I was so busy that I forgot. Find a chance to come to our house for dinner next time." In fact, Mother Gu really forgot, because she had put all her thoughts on Du Qiao before, and she really didn't think of asking Lin Xi to come over for dinner. It was her negligence.
"Aunt, it's okay, I've already eaten." Lin Xi replied with a smile, looking relaxed, not taking it to heart at all.
"Okay, you guys continue chatting. I'll go in and see his father. He's been yelling for water! I'll go get him a glass of water." After saying this, Mother Gu turned and went into the kitchen to get some water, leaving the space for Lin Xi and Gu Tingxiao.
"Then I'll go back first." Seeing that he had nothing to do, Lin Xi also suggested going back.
"Well, go back! Be careful on the road, I can't take you back." Gu Tingxiao saw her sunburned face and couldn't bear to let her accompany him to bask in the sun.
"Okay, got it. Just take good care of him!" Lin Xi said and left, leaving Gu Tingxiao waiting anxiously!
At this time, Lin Jue had already sent Shi Jing and the others to the Public Security Bureau and had explained everything. When he was about to leave, he heard Xu Zhou's anxious voice, "Captain Lin, wait a minute..."
"Anything else?" Lin Jue looked puzzled, thinking, hadn't he already said what he needed to say? Why did he stop him?
"Something's going on, and it's a big deal. The people sent from above will be here in ten minutes. I didn't expect that you just happened to be in town. So please wait for another ten minutes and take the people back! This saves me from having to make another trip..." Xuzhou finished his words in one breath, then smiled ingratiatingly, fearing that Lin Jue would not be willing to stay and wait.
"Captain Lin, what do you think?" Xuzhou asked cautiously, afraid of offending Lin Jue.
"I don't think it's a big deal, but since you asked me, I will wait here for ten minutes. If I don't see anyone in ten minutes, I will leave immediately. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!" Lin Jue thought about it and agreed. If someone else asked him, he might not agree, but if it was Xuzhou who asked, he had to agree to wait no matter what, because he owed Xuzhou this, so he would just consider it as repaying him a favor.
"Okay! Thank you, Captain." Xuzhou was so moved that he wanted to cry, because he knew how difficult the people sent by the higher-ups would be to deal with. He just didn't know if Lin Jue would want to kill him after seeing who the person was.
"Well, go ahead and do your work! I'll bring some people to wait at the door." Lin Jue knew that he still had a lot of things to deal with, so there was no need for him to wait with him.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Captain. I'll slip away first." Xuzhou disappeared in the blink of an eye as if he heard the sound of nature.
Lin Jue thought carefully about Xuzhou's words, and always felt that something was strange, but he really couldn't put his finger on it. So he didn't investigate further and brought his men to the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
When ten minutes were up, Lin Jue saw that no one had arrived yet, so he immediately wanted to take everyone away, "Let's go back to the village."
It’s not that he doesn’t keep his word, but ten minutes have already passed and there’s no need for him to waste time here.
But before he took two steps, he heard a sharp brake sound, and a jeep stopped next to him, followed by several trucks that stopped behind it.
Lin Jue looked at the familiar license plate and finally understood what Xuzhou meant by those words. But since he had already promised Xuzhou, he, Lin Jue, would definitely not go back on his word, so he did not leave and just waited there quietly.
"Why? Can't you come and greet me?"
The car door was opened, and a woman in military uniform walked out, speaking in a familiar tone.
"I'm not familiar with you, and please call me Captain Lin. I remember my military rank is higher than yours." Lin Jue had a cold face and did not treat her well because of what the woman said!
"But I'm specially sent down from above, so you should still listen to me!" The woman said half-jokingly, but her eyes were always on Lin Jue while she spoke.
"Then bring the document here, otherwise I won't recognize it. I don't want to waste time talking to you. If you don't want to go back to the village, just find someone to lead the way for you! I won't accompany you anymore..." After Lin Jue finished speaking, he didn't wait for the woman to speak, and directly called his people and left.
Want to get rid of her? No way? Seeing this, the woman said something to the people in the car, then quickened her pace and followed.
"I say, how can you just leave like that? You don't even bother to wait for me..." The woman walked to Lin Jue's side and expressed her dissatisfaction.
She had begged her father for a long time to get this job. If he hadn't been here, did he think he would come to such a remote place?
"Hey! Why aren't you talking? I'm talking to you! Can you hear me?" The woman said unwillingly, hoping that Lin Jue would pay attention to her.
"Shut up, the chattering is killing me." Lin Jue not only did not stop when he said this, but he also silently increased his pace. In the moment when the woman was stunned, he left her far behind.
"Lin Jue, you bastard..." The woman stood there, jumping up and down in anger!
She didn't expect Lin Jue to be so disrespectful to her in front of so many people, and she immediately burst into tears out of grievance!
"Miss, you'd better get in the car!" The driver drove the jeep and stopped in front of the woman.
“What do you care…” The woman glared at the driver, glanced at the direction Lin Jue left, and finally got on the jeep unwillingly, “Follow him!”
After hearing this, the driver stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away, soon catching up with Lin Jue.
"Lin Jue, do you want to get in the car?" The woman stuck her head out of the car window and asked seriously.
"No, I have legs!" Lin Jue's face showed rejection, and it was obvious that he didn't want to sit in the same car with her.
