Lin Geng did not give an answer to the question that day.

Lin Yan'er didn't ask any further questions.

Finally, the glass of milk cooled and was poured into the bathroom.

No one mentioned it again.

Lin Geng would drink a glass of milk every night as usual, but Lin Yan'er never tried to drug him again.

a few days later.

Lin Yan'er and Lin Geng went to Lin Yan'er's house next door.

Lin Geng bought a lot of desserts. Lin Yan'er didn't know what she would like, so she followed Lin Geng and bought some desserts.

So Lin Yan'er opened the door and received two identical desserts.

I am happy, but...

Will it go bad if I can’t finish eating so much?

Lin Yan'er looked at the two large bags of desserts and wondered how many days it would take to finish them as meals.

"Are your parents not home?"

Lin Geng changed his shoes skillfully, walked in and looked around, but didn't see anyone else at home.

"Mom and Dad went out for something." Lin Yan'er answered obediently, "They didn't welcome me very much, so I didn't let them at home, for fear that they would say something bad to hurt me again."

After hearing this, Lin Yan'er squatted down and touched her hair: "Yan'er is so good, but sister doesn't mind. Your parents care about you, not that they really hate sister."

Lin Yan'er blinked her eyes: "Really?"

Lin Yaner nodded.

"But my brother is also from an unknown background, but my parents treat him very well..."

Lin Yan'er's eyes were innocent, and he stared at Lin Yan'er curiously, wanting an answer.

Lin Yan'er was speechless.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Geng.

Lin Geng: "Children should not ask everything."

One sentence to block it.

Simple and direct.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Lin Geng asked a soul-searching question.

Lin Yan'er hung her head, poked with two fingers, twisted her body and said coquettishly: "Brother~~~"

She leaned towards Lin Geng's thigh.

Lin Geng squatted down and hugged the man in his arms with one hand: "Come on, I'll take you upstairs to do your homework."

Lin Yan'er said dejectedly: "Okay..."

She pointed at Lin Yan'er behind her and asked, "What about my sister?"

Lin Geng said without even turning his head: "Don't worry about her, it's okay to let her stay here alone for a while."

Lin Yan'er: "Okay."

Then Lin Geng took Lin Yan'er upstairs.

Lin Yan'er sat in the living room for a while and found that the furnishings here were very valuable. It seemed that Lin Yan'er's family conditions were quite good.

She stepped on the carpet under her feet, which was soft and warm.

There is underfloor heating.

It was snowing heavily outside, but it was still warm as spring inside.

Even if you take off your cotton jacket, you won't feel cold here.

Lin Yan'er lifted her foot and walked up the stairs. She looked around as she walked and inexplicably felt that this place looked familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where.

"Look at this question. It says 'or', which means it's one of the two, and the 'and' at the end means the two are together..."

It was Lin Geng's voice.

The tone was softer than Lin Yan'er had ever heard before.

She walked over, gently opened the door and took a look.

inside the room.

Lin Geng was patiently helping Lin Yan'er with her homework. The light from the window shone on him, giving him a very light silver edge.

"Brother, what does 'one and only' mean?"

Lin Yaner pointed at the words on the notebook and asked him, "Does it mean there is only one?"

Lin Geng: “You can understand it this way.”

"Then my brother is the only one."

Lin Geng: “Read the questions carefully.”

He tapped Lin Yan'er's little head gently.

Lin Yan'er covered her head and said obediently: "Okay."

Lin Yan'er, who was eavesdropping at the door, silently closed the door.

Lin Geng was teaching the children to do their homework, so she didn't go over to disturb them.

Go around and take a look around here on your own.

She tiptoed away.

Inside the door.

Lin Yan'er suddenly put her hands on her cheeks and asked, "Brother, do you like that sister outside?"

Lin Geng frowned and was about to shut her up with words.

Lin Yan'er cleverly covered his mouth first.

"Brother, I'm just curious. Can you answer me? I've known you for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen you take the initiative to say you know someone."

"But that sister doesn't seem to know my brother, how strange..."

She wants to know why.

Lin Geng's eyes darkened slightly. He looked at Lin Yan'er for a long time before asking, "Do you really want to know?"

Lin Yan'er nodded.

"Wait until you finish your homework."

Lin Yan'er's face fell, and she wanted to pull Lin Geng's sleeve.

Lin Geng: "It's no use to act like a spoiled child. Figure out the answer to this question first."

Lin Yan'er puffed up her cheeks and wrote an equation in a notebook with a pen. As she wrote, she muttered, "Brother doesn't know how to feel sorry for others. No wonder sister doesn't seem to like him very much..."

Lin Geng: “…”

*

Outside.

Lin Yan'er walked around, admiring the layout of the place, but when she looked out the window, she noticed a familiar figure.

It seemed to be the little boy she had met before?

How did he get here?

Lin Yan'er put on her cotton jacket and wanted to go outside to find him. However, when she went out, she couldn't see the child anymore. She didn't know where he had gone.

What she saw just now seemed to be an illusion and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Just when she thought she couldn't find it and wanted to go back, she heard a very weak cry for help.

"……cold……"

“…It’s so cold…”

Such a familiar feeling.

Lin Yan'er's heart seemed to be hit by something, and a chill rose from her heart and quickly spread throughout her body.

She turned around and followed the source of the sound, and saw a child in the snow.

Thin... fragile.

Shivering in the corner, his pair of dark eyes were frozen dull and lifeless.

Lin Yan'er put her hand on his forehead, feeling a heat that was out of tune with the surroundings.

I have a fever!

Lin Yan'er picked him up and walked into the house while calling Lin Geng.

We must first find a way to cool down this child. He can’t have a fever any further. If he continues to have a fever, he will die.

"Lin Geng!! Lin Geng!!!"

Lin Geng, who was tutoring his students in the room, heard the sound. Before he could react, Lin Yan'er put down her pen and ran out.

Lin Geng followed him out.

Before he went down the stairs, he saw Lin Yaner running in hurriedly holding a child.

That child...

"Lin Geng! He has a fever! Do you know where to find antipyretic medicine?"

Lin Yan'er was holding the child and looking around. She happened to meet his thoughtful blue eyes and asked him directly.

This is not the first time Lin Geng has come to Lin Yan'er's house. He should know where the medicine is here, right?

"He has a high fever. If the fever doesn't go down, his brain will get burned out. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Find a solution!"

Lin Geng came back to his senses when Lin Yan'er shouted.

Lin Yan'er had already run to her, frowned at the boy in her arms and said, "Sister, he is not a good guy, don't save him."

He spat out ruthless words word by word.

"Let him die."

Let him die?

Lin Yan'er was in a trance for a moment.

She looked at Lin Yan'er who said this and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say?"

Lin Yan'er repeated word by word: "Let him die."

She pointed at the boy curled up in Lin Yaner's arms and repeated it again.

"Sister, let him die."

"He's not a good guy."

Lin Yan'er looked at her in shock, totally unable to believe what she had just heard.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Lin Geng walked over and took the child from Lin Yan'er. "I'll take him upstairs to give him some fever-reducing medicine. Use my phone to call 120 and get an ambulance."

He touched the forehead of the child in his arms and glanced at the scars on his arms.

"The fever is severe and there are serious external injuries on the body. Medicine will not help much. We must go to the hospital."

Lin Yan'er took the phone he threw to her and was about to make a call when she was stunned when she saw the lock screen password on it.

Just as I was about to ask, I heard Lin Geng walking up and saying, "1212."

Okay, no need to ask.

Lin Yaner entered the password and just as she dialed the phone, she heard Lin Yaner's disgusted voice.

"Brother, don't save him."

"Let him die."

"An unwanted child like him deserves to die."

Lin Yaner turned her head and looked over, only to see Lin Yaner stretching out her hands to block Lin Geng, preventing him from going upstairs to get the medicine.

How did this child suddenly become...

"Stop it." Lin Geng pushed her away and walked upstairs. "I know he and you had some unpleasant things before, but that's in the past. You shouldn't still hold a grudge against him."

When Lin Yaner heard what he said, she remembered what her parents said when she met Lin Yaner's family at the door of the restaurant.

Lin Yan'er was hurt by this boy.

But you don't want anyone to die, do you?

"Uuuuuu——"

Lin Yan'er, who was pushed aside, suddenly burst into tears, crying with great grievance.

Lin Yan'er didn't know what was going on.

Lin Geng did not try to comfort her. Instead, he carried the child upstairs to find antipyretic medicine.

Lin Yan'er looked puzzled, but she still walked away and made a phone call to ask someone to send an ambulance to save people.

After hanging up the phone.

Only then did Lin Yan'er notice that the wallpaper on Lin Geng's phone was actually a photo of him and Lin Yan'er. At that time, Lin Yan'er was still very young, and looked like a girl who had just started elementary school. She carried a schoolbag and refused to go to school. She held on to Lin Geng's neck with both hands and refused to let go. Lin Geng let her do as she pleased with a doting smile.

I don’t know who took the photo.

Are they Lin Yaner’s parents?

Turn off the screen, then turn it back on.

The screen saver outside is a photo of a baby, who is sleeping soundly in a cradle. He looks adorable, and there is a strawberry pattern on the bib.

Lin Yan'er contacted the mobile phone wallpaper and guessed that the baby should also be Lin Yan'er.

It seems that in Lin Geng's heart, he really treats Lin Yan'er as his daughter and likes her very much.

“…Wuwuwu…wuwuwu…”

Intermittent crying sounds were heard.

Lin Yan'er looked at the little girl lying in the middle of the stairs crying, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Why does Lin Yan'er hate that child so much?

Although the child does have a strange personality and is not very likable...but his crime does not deserve the death penalty, right?

Lin Yan'er walked over and gently patted Lin Yan'er on the back.

Lin Yan'er cried even more sadly.

"You... all of you... don't listen to me... don't listen to me..."

"Why, why wuwu... don't let him wuwu... he will die wuwu..."

Lin Yan'er touched her soft hair and asked in confusion: "Yan'er, why do you want him to die so much? He is just a child. Although he did something wrong before, but--"

"No one wants him! He deserves to die!"

Lin Yan'er suddenly raised her eyes and started shouting loudly.

Lin Yan'er was confused by her words.

"Isn't it because he bullied you?"

Lin Yan'er buried her head in her knees, stopped talking and just sobbed.

Lin Yan'er didn't know what to say now. She said dryly, "Well, stop crying..."

"Ohh Ohh ohh--"

The crying got louder.

Lin Yaner: “…”

Well, she didn't know how to comfort a child.

Lin Yan'er sat beside her, accompanying her silently.

upstairs.

Lin Geng found the antipyretic medicine and stuffed it into the boy's mouth, then touched his forehead and observed his reaction.

His dirty face was burned red, he was pulling someone's arm in a delirious state, mumbling incoherent words.

Burnt and confused.

He looked at the little boy, who was skinny and malnourished, with his eyes tightly closed as if he was on guard against something. The nails of the hand that was holding his arm were very long, and it was obvious that they had not been trimmed in a long time.

"……Well……"

Lin Geng noticed his reaction and moved closer to him, wanting to hear what he had to say.

The boy opened his sleepy eyes with difficulty and saw white...was it snow?

He touched it and it was not made up, so it looked like hair.

"you're awake?"

Lin Geng measured the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand. It had cooled down a little, but was still very hot.

"…blue…"

The boy looked at Lin Geng's light blue eyes, which were filled with tears.

Lin Geng: “?”

"The fever is very severe?"

He touched the boy's forehead again.

"……dad……"

Lin Geng's body stiffened.

He suspected that he was hallucinating, and frowned as he asked, "What did you...just call me?"

"dad……"

The boy grabbed his hand and curled into him.

Lin Geng was confused.

He didn't remember having a child, especially one this big.

Looking at the boy with a red face in his arms.

He thought that the child must have been confused due to the fever and was shouting nonsense because he couldn't recognize people.

"……dad……"

The boy hugged him and sobbed, tears streaming down his face.

Lin Geng patted his back, not knowing how to comfort him.

He is not the child's father.

"dad……"

I was called again.

Lin Geng explained: "You got the wrong person, I am not you——"

"……dad……"

The boy looked at him with tears in his eyes, and choked with sobs as his nose ached, "... don't you want me anymore?"

Lin Geng: “…”

Lin Geng: "You are confused because of the fever."

He doesn't have a son of this age.

He was sure of that.

"dad……"

The boy clung to him like a sloth.

When Lin Yan'er brought the medical staff upstairs, she saw the two of them hugging each other affectionately. She was a little surprised that the child was so attached to Lin Geng.

"You are quite popular with children."

Lin Yan'er wanted to pull the child off him, but the boy refused and held on to Lin Geng tightly.

The boy said vaguely: "Dad..."

Lin Geng remained indifferent and handed him directly to the medical staff.

"He has a severe fever. Let's find a way to relieve his fever first. I'll pay for it later."

Medical staff: "Okay, Dad..."

Lin Geng frowned: "This is not my child."

"You guys take the child to the hospital first, we will go to the hospital to see him later."

Lin Yaner stepped forward and asked the medical staff to leave first, ignoring what Lin Geng had just said.

But before leaving, the boy took the initiative to pull Ling Geng's clothes.

He shouted weakly: "...Dad..."

But the force was too weak and it came loose with a slight pull.

He was taken away by medical staff.

Lin Yan'er was confused. Looking at Lin Geng who was standing there in silence, she couldn't help but ask, "Is that your son?"

"No."

Lin Geng denied it decisively.

"I do not have kids."
