Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

What Lin Geng said to her today were things that no one had ever said to her before. Lou Xiao'e felt very uncomfortable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Lin Geng had no ill will towards her, but was reminding her sincerely, which made her like Lin Geng even more strongly.

Even though Lin Geng rejected her love, she did not give up completely. She wanted to go home and ask her father, tell him what Lin Geng told her today, and hear his opinion. If her father also agreed with Lin Geng, then it meant that Lin Geng was protecting them.

Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything more to Lin along the way. After arriving home, Lou Xiao'e got off the car and stood outside the gate of her own small western-style building. She watched Lin wave to her, then turn around and ride away on his bike. Lou Xiao'e felt mixed emotions.

When Lin Geng's figure completely disappeared into the darkness and could no longer be seen, Lou Xiao'e sighed and returned home with a lonely look on her face.

After entering the house, Lou Xiao'e saw her parents sitting in the living room waiting for her. When they saw her coming back, both of them smiled. Lou's mother waved to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, you're back! Come over and tell your parents, how was your chat with Xiaolin today?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled bitterly, looked at her parents with a lonely expression, and shook her head.

When Father and Mother Lou saw Lou Xiao'e's expression, the smiles on their faces disappeared immediately. Father Lou immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did that boy make you angry? Tell Dad quickly, Dad will deal with him for you!"

Lou Xiao'e looked around the room and shook her head, "Dad! Let's go to your study. I have something to tell you!"

The look on Lou Xiao'e's face from Lou's father and mother seemed to indicate that she had something secret to discuss with them. This was the living room, and there were some other people in the house, so it was obvious that Lou Xiao'e didn't want outsiders to hear.

So Father Lou and Mother Lou looked at each other, then stood up with serious expressions. Father Lou said to Lou Xiao'e, "Okay, let's talk in my study!"

The study is on the second floor of the Lou family's house. It is relatively quiet here. Normally, without Lou Bancheng's order, no one in the family can come to the study without permission. Even Lou Xiao'e is not allowed to enter his study easily. So when there is something that needs to be kept confidential, Lou Bancheng will often invite people here to talk in secret.

After the three of them entered the study, Father Lou told the bodyguards downstairs not to go upstairs unless necessary. After giving the order, Father Lou closed the heavy study door and asked Lou Xiao'e seriously, "Xiao'e, what happened? Why do you look like that?"

Lou Xiao'e sat on the sofa in the study with a lonely look on her face. She sorted out her thoughts and then told her father and mother exactly what Lin Geng had said to her when she was alone with him today.

After listening to what Lou Xiao'e had said, both Lou's father and mother's faces suddenly changed. Lou Bancheng, who was usually calm and composed, also showed a trace of fear on his face. Not to mention Lou's mother, who usually stayed at home to take care of her husband and children and lived a life of luxury. Lou's mother's face changed drastically and she became panic-stricken.

Mother Lou looked at Father Lou in panic and asked anxiously, "Old Lou, what does Xiao Lin mean by these words? Could it be... Could it be that the higher-ups want to..."

Lou Bancheng looked solemn. He patted his mother's arm and whispered, "Don't panic! Let me think about it first!"

At this time, Lou's mother did not dare to disrupt her husband's thoughts, so she remained silent with a worried look on her face, but the panic on her face was difficult to conceal.

Lou Bancheng stood up, picked up a cigar from his desk, lit it, and paced back and forth in the study room with one hand behind his back while smoking the cigar. The atmosphere in the room seemed tense and dull. After a long time, Lou Bancheng suddenly stopped pacing, turned around and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e! This Xiao Lin must have heard something! Please help me contact him and invite him to my house. I want to talk to him in person!"

Lin Geng thought that his fate with Lou Xiao'e was over after this incident, but he never expected that Lou Xiao'e would suddenly find their courtyard. After asking Yan Bugui about Lin Geng's home at the door, Yan Bugui, with a gossipy look on his face, personally brought Lou Xiao'e to Lin Geng's home.

Lin Geng was at home sharpening arrow shafts to make arrows. The arrows he had bought from the trust store had already been damaged during hunting, so he had to replenish some. Otherwise, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to bring back wild boar meat so often. In order to complete the show, he had to replenish some.

Lin Geng was busy grinding the arrow shaft and preparing to install the arrowhead when he heard someone walking towards his house. He looked up and saw Yan Bugui and Lou Xiao'e walking towards his house through the open door.

Lin Geng was surprised for a moment, so he put down the work in his hands, stood up and went out to greet her. At this time, people in the yard all looked towards Lin Geng's house. They were all very curious about how such a beautiful girl came into the yard, and how Yan Bugui brought her to the central courtyard with a warm look on his face.

When Lou Xiao'e was led by Yan Bugui towards Lin Geng's house, everyone's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. They determined that this girl must be Lin Geng who came to find Lin Geng, so there was nothing strange about it.

It happened to be the weekend today, and most people in the yard were at home. Qin Huairu was also at home, washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Lou Xiao'e, she was immediately surprised. Looking at Lou Xiao'e's well-tailored clothes, she could tell at a glance that the fabric was of good quality, and it was not something she could afford.

So with just a glance, Qin Huairu could tell from Lou Xiao'e's dress and temperament that Lou Xiao'e must have come from a wealthy family. Moreover, she was so beautiful and had a good figure, which immediately made Qin Huairu look envious and jealous.

Lin Geng greeted Lou Xiao'e with a puzzled but happy smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Lin Geng and said unhappily, "Why? Are you so unwelcome for me to come and see you?"

Lin Geng was a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and smiled, "No, no, no! That's impossible! You're most welcome! Come in and sit down!"

After Yan Bugui sent Lou Xiao'e to Lin Geng's house, he winked at Lin Geng. When Lou Xiao'e walked into Lin Geng's house first, he pulled Lin Geng and asked in a lower voice: "Xiao Lin, who is this girl to you?"

Lin Geng scratched his head, and really didn't know how to introduce Lou Xiao'e. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is a friend of mine! Don't ask me, it's hard to explain in one sentence! Thank you! I'll go inside and talk to my friend first! I'll talk to you later!"

Yan Bugui seemed to understand something, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Yeah, I understand, I understand! You should go in and entertain the girl!"

Lin Geng's forehead was covered with two black lines, thinking to himself, "You know nothing!" But it was not convenient for him to explain more to Yan Bugui at this moment, so he laughed dryly, turned around and followed Lou Xiao'e into the house.

Lin Geng asked Lou Xiao'e to sit down, then turned around and took out the Gaosi he had bought, made a cup of tea for Lou Xiao'e, and handed it to her, asking her to hold it to warm her hands. He smiled and asked Lou Xiao'e, "Why did you come to see me? Is there something wrong?"
