Crazy involution in male-oriented novels, my senior brother has set his sights on me

"I really feel sorry for Huan'er now. She waited for fifty years for this man who immediately forgot about her after returning home."

Lin Jinxing stretched out his finger and pressed it against Lin Hao's brow and said, "You said you would only frown for me, why are you frowning for someone else?"

Hearing his senior brother's words, Lin Hao relaxed his brows: "Don't frown."

Lin Jinxing put down his hand and raised a faint but gentle smile.

Lin Hao also laughed. He continued the previous topic and said to his senior brother, "Huo Yan's wife is still in Qingyuan City. Why don't we go and ask her what happened back then?"

Lin Jinxing did not object and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his senior brother agreed, Lin Hao refused to wait for a second and directly pulled Lin Jinxing out.

"Then let's go now, brother, so as not to disturb you after dark and be rude."

Lin Jinxing stood up helplessly following Lin Hao's actions and followed the footsteps of his junior brother.

The Huo Mansion was easy to find. Not long after, Lin Hao found the location of the Huo Mansion according to the instructions of passers-by.

Lin Hao knocked on the door of the Huo Mansion, and after a while, someone opened the door.

The servant saw the two young strangers in front of him and asked, "What do you want, gentlemen?"

Lin Hao said: "I am Lin Hao, and I would like to meet Madam Huo to discuss something."

The servant who opened the door curled his lips in disdain. He thought the two people in front of him were just like the people who came a few days ago, who wanted to take a shortcut by getting to know the master through the old lady.

He said in a not-so-good tone, "No, the old lady is not seeing guests right now, please go back."

After that, without waiting for Lin Hao to say anything else, the servant closed the door.

Lin Jinxing stepped forward and said, "How about we go back today and visit again tomorrow?"

Lin Hao wanted to agree, but before turning around, he saw the wall that was not too high.

Lin Hao stopped and pulled Lin Jinxing's sleeve. Lin Jinxing was about to ask Lin Hao what was wrong when he saw Lin Hao looking at him with bright eyes.

"Brother, I have a solution."

Lin Jinxing was stunned, still thinking about what Lin Hao was talking about, when Lin Hao pulled his hand to the wall. Pointing at the wall, he said, "Brother, we just need to crawl over there."

Lin Jinxing: “…”

Is this the solution that Junior Brother came up with?

It's not dark yet, so is it not a good idea to climb over someone else's wall in broad daylight?

Without waiting for Lin Jinxing to answer, Lin Hao looked around, jumped up, and climbed over the wall.

Although Lin Hao's movements were graceful and neat, coupled with the look around at the beginning, Lin Jinxing always felt a little sneaky.

On the other side of the wall, Lin Hao was still urging: "Brother, why don't you come over?"

Lin Hao deliberately lowered his voice when speaking because he was worried about alarming others, but Lin Jinxing outside the wall could still hear it clearly.

Seeing this, Lin Jinxing had no choice but to climb over the wall.

It didn't take long for the two of them to find where Mrs. Huo was.

At this time, Mrs. Huo was staying in the study, personally tidying up Huo Yan's former study.

Although Mrs. Huo is over sixty years old and the years have left many traces on her face, it can still be seen that she must have been an iconic beauty when she was young.

While she was tidying up, she saw a painting hanging on the wall and sighed unconsciously.

The woman in the painting has long curly hair like seaweed that is casually spread out, and her smiling eyes are filled with innocence that shows she is ignorant of the world. Although it is only a half-body painting, the sea in the background is clearly depicted.

When Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing came in, Mrs. Huo was stunned for a moment.

Before the other party could react, Lin Hao hurriedly explained his purpose.

"Madam Huo, the two of us are so abrupt today because we want to know something about Huo Yan."

Hearing that it was her husband, Mrs. Huo temporarily suppressed the urge to call for help, but her expression did not relax at all, and she even took two steps back.

"What do you two want to know?"

"We came from Utuo City, where we met a person and heard her tell the story between Huo Yan and her. After coming here, we heard about Huo Yan again and wanted to come and learn more about him."

After all, it is difficult to say whether Huan'er is a mermaid, so Lin Hao's words were vague.

But after hearing Lin Hao's words, Mrs. Huo let down her guard. She was actually a little absent-minded while looking at the painting on the wall.

Lin Hao followed the other person's line of sight and discovered that the woman in the portrait on the wall was Huan'er!

While Lin Hao was still surprised, Madam Huo said, "Do you know the fisherwoman named Huan'er?"

Fisher girl?

Lin Hao looked at Lin Jinxing, both of them looked puzzled.

But then Lin Hao realized that Huan'er's identity was indeed difficult to say, and it was not impossible for Huo Yan to use the identity of a fisherwoman instead.

Mrs. Huo continued, "I didn't intentionally interfere with their relationship back then. It was only after I got married that I realized Huo Yan already had someone in his heart. The matchmaker who proposed the marriage only said that Huo Yan was seriously ill, and the Huo family wanted someone to marry in to bring good luck.

I once secretly loved Huo Yan, and based on that love, I married into the Huo family without hesitation.

At that time, I thought very clearly that if Huo Yan could get better, then I would definitely be able to win his heart. If Huo Yan was gone, then I would definitely be able to make him fall in love with me in his last moments.

Even if Huo Yan was gone, I would still be able to get all of Huo Yan's love, but I never thought that things would turn out to be completely different."

Lin Hao asked: "What happened back then?"

Madam Huo sighed and said, "I heard everything from Huo Yan later. Back then..."

When Huo Yan went out to travel, he hoped to personally experience the true conditions of the people and the problems existing in various regions, so as to prepare himself for his future as an official.

However, an accident happened when he was about to return to Qingyuan City.

The ship sank, and when Huo Yan sank into the sea, he thought his life was over.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a girl like a sea elf saved him.

Huo Yan was very grateful to the girl who saved him, but just as he was expressing his gratitude, he did not expect that the other party would knock him out again.

Such a result caught Huo Yan off guard, but it seemed that the opponent did not dare to use too much force, and Huo Yan woke up halfway through the swim.

However, he also realized that the girl in front of him didn't seem to want to wake up, so he continued to pretend to be unconscious.

During the process, he felt the girl's soft and slightly cool body pressed against him. It was the first time that Huo Yan realized that his heartbeat could be so fast.

After the other party sent him ashore, although Huo Yan closed his eyes, he could still feel the girl's entanglement.

At that time, he didn't know what the other party was struggling with.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yan heard a melodious song.
