my friend

Along the way, Lin Xiao had been sleeping, and Li Zhi didn't dare to take it lightly. He put the medicine bottle in his bag and reminded himself to stay awake at all times.

After the two arrived in Hong Kong, they made a smooth transfer and flew to Hangzhou the next day.

"Master, can you turn on the air conditioner?" It's summer, and Li Zhi is sitting in the taxi, his brow sweating.

"It would be nice to have a natural breeze." The driver was a little unhappy, but he still turned on the air conditioner and rolled up the windows.

"Listen to your accent... Are you from Fujian?"

"Uh... yes!"

It was the first time for Li Zhi to come to the mainland, and he was cautious everywhere. The driver said he was from Fujian, so he must be from Fujian. He chatted with the driver without saying a word.

Lin Xiao leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about something non-stop.

As the car drove into the city, Li Zhi saw the reflection of waves in the shaded gap outside the car window.

"Is it West Lake? Brother, look!" Li Zhi pushed Lin Xiao excitedly.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the green scenery passing by outside the window. He recalled the scene when he came to Hangzhou with his master Chen Yilin. At that time, he was also greedy for the beautiful scenery of the West Lake like his younger brother, but he did not express himself like his younger brother.

"Everything remains the same." Lin Xiao spat out four words.He hoped that his master's friend from back then would still miss his old friend so that he could borrow the Pine Cliff Bieye Map smoothly.

Li Zhi pouted, "Master still loves you more, he never brought me here... never came to Hangzhou."

"Oh...there will be opportunities in the future." Lin Xiao couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the back of Li Zhi's head when he saw Li Zhi's taste, and suddenly felt that he was a bit like an elder, always living in the past.

"West Lake is beautiful, isn't it?" the driver interjected.

"Beautiful!" Li Zhi replied.

"Your Wuyi Mountain in Fujian is also beautiful!"

"This..." Li Zhi had never been to Wuyi Mountain.

"Different beauty." Lin Xiao answered for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi kept his mouth shut, afraid that the driver would chat with him again, and pretended to be greedy for the scenery outside the window.Fortunately, my brother is by my side.he thought.

After driving along the lake embankment for more than ten minutes, the car turned right onto a cobblestone road that could accommodate small cars. The road was uneven and the taxi was a little bumpy.After a while, the car stopped in front of a courtyard with a white stone arch.

Lin Xiao and Li Zhi dragged their luggage from the taxi, and Li Zhi couldn't help but said, "I'm so happy to live by the West Lake!"

Lin Xiao smiled at him, sat down on the suitcase, and stretched out his hand to him: "Azhi, medicine."

"Oh." Li Zhi quickly took out the medicine bottle and water from his satchel, watched Lin Xiao take it, and raised his hand to stroke his back a few times.

After running around all day, Lin Xiao's face was full of exhaustion.

"Brother, let's find a place to live before we come back."

Lin Xiao shook his head, took a deep breath, and seemed to be recovering, "It will be dinner time later, it's not good to go then."

"Senior brother...don't hold on." Li Zhi couldn't bear it.

"Of course it would be better to come tomorrow morning, but we are in a hurry and can't wait." Lin Xiao pressed Li Zhi's hand and comforted: "I'm fine."

The two walked a few steps into the archway, and the wheels of the suitcase hit the stone road, making a rattling sound, and someone leaned out half of his body from a bungalow on the right.

"Hello! What do you want to see?" A half-grown boy greeted them warmly. The table in front of him was full of uneven seals and rough stones.

"Sorry, I want to find An Chun and Mr. An." Lin Xiao replied.

"Ah?" The boy scratched his head, of course he knew that Mr. An lived in the house he walked in, but he didn't know who An Chunhe was.He scratched the back of his head, trying to understand that it was the same person.

"We are students of Chen Yilin." Lin Xiao added.

He looked up and down Lin Xiao and Li Zhi, who were dragging their luggage, and felt that they might be big customers from other places, so he hurriedly walked around to them.

"Sit down casually, I'll go in and ask for you." After speaking, he ran away.

Lin Xiao hurriedly led Li Zhi to sit down and rest. He is a junior, so it's not good to see his elders showing signs of fatigue.

"Who is An Chunhe?" Li Zhi asked.

"It's a friend of Master. I went to Beijing with Master that year, and Master even brought me to Hangzhou for a visit."

"For Master's sake, it should be fine."

"It's hard to say, this person..." Lin Xiao was uncertain.

Lin Xiao didn't know much about the past of An Chun and the old man, and the master didn't mention how he met him.I just remember that when I came to visit with Master, An Chunhe was still very warm.At that time, the master stayed in the yard for half a day and let him go to visit the West Lake. Only when he came back and went to the study to find the master, he saw him and Mr. An admiring the paintings, among which was the painting of Pine Cliff.He and An Chunhe only met these two sides, so I don't know if the other party still remembers him.

Lin Xiao looked around at the bungalows in front of him and behind him, and saw that they had been changed into shops selling seals and souvenirs. He thought that Mr. An was probably engaged in the antique business, and the market has been active in recent years, so he opened it up for business.

Ten minutes later, the boy ran back with a smile, and said politely: "Coincidentally, the old man is at home, please go ahead."

The boy took the initiative to take the luggage in Lin Xiao's hands, and led the two of them through a bungalow, into another arch, along the winding stone road, bypassing a row of potted plants, and entering a spacious Chinese-style main room.

"Hey, I've lived this life..." Li Zhi couldn't help but look around, Lin Xiao tapped him gently, and he restrained himself immediately.

After entering the room, when the light dimmed, Lin Xiao fixed his eyes and saw two people sitting at the gossip table in the middle, drinking tea.

Seeing him and Li Zhi coming in, the old man on the right stopped talking and said with a smile, "Yes... Xiao Lin, right?"

This man's gray hair was cut short, and he was wearing a milky white sweater, black cloth pants, and a pair of cloth shoes.Although he is old, his eyes are bright and his speech is full of spirit.

"Yes, Mr. An, how have you been?"

"well."

An Chunhe didn't look out at all.

"Your master, how is Brother Chen?"

An Chunhe arranged for Lin Xiao and Li Zhi to sit beside him, and asked enthusiastically.

"My master...is no longer here."

"Ouch..." An Chunhe Wen Yan frowned, stroking the short beard on his chin.

"When did this happen?"

Lin Xiao gave him a brief introduction, then pointed to Li Zhi beside him and said, "This is my fellow apprentice, Li Zhi."

"Hi, Mr. An." Li Zhi stood up and bowed.

"Well, Brother Chen's apprentices are all outstanding."

"The last time I came with Master, my junior was still young and didn't come together. This time I have the opportunity to come on a business trip, so I specially brought my junior to pay a visit to you."

Lin Xiao got up and presented the companion gift he had brought.

"Okay, I really have a heart."

An Chunhe asked the middle-aged man who was sitting on the right to receive the gift, and then dismissed him, "Go ahead."

"Hehe... I came here in a hurry, and I didn't notify you in advance. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you."

Seeing An Chunhe dismissing others, Lin Xiao planned to express his intentions.

He didn't want An Chunhe to just reminisce about the old days with Lin Xiao, the two of them had no friendship at all, so it was An Chunhe who talked and Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao agreed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiao couldn't find a chance, so he stood up and wanted to say goodbye.

"Xiao Lin, don't look outside. I have a lot of empty houses here. It's rare for you to come here. You can stay with me. You can go to the West Lake for a stroll at night."

Lin Xiao declined, but An Chunhe insisted on staying, so Lin Xiao agreed.

In the evening, I had dinner in another lobby room, and I didn't see An Chunhe, and Lin Xiao didn't want to inquire rashly, only paying attention to the chatting content of the people around.It sounded like they were talking about business.Some people came to toast, but Li Zhi blocked them.After a meal, Lin Xiao gradually had a measure in his mind.

Lin Xiao and Li Zhi were arranged in a one-story house in another courtyard. The left and right rooms were empty, a bit like an inn.He asked Li Zhi to go out and look for a place where he could make a phone call with Taipei, and he followed his memory to find An Chunhe's study.

The study room was still lit, and there seemed to be someone talking inside, Lin Xiao stood in the small courtyard and waited quietly.

Half an hour later, someone came out, it was the middle-aged man I had seen in the main room during the day.The man was very polite when he saw Lin Xiao, and replied to the study for him, "Master, there are still people waiting for you." Then he turned sideways and let Lin Xiao in.

An Chunhe was sitting behind the big desk, raised his eyes and saw that it was Lin Xiao, he was not surprised, he smiled and said, "Have you been to the West Lake?"

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Looks like I'm looking for something." An Chunhe is a very straightforward person.

"No, I have something to ask you." Lin Xiao also spared the detours.

"sit."

Lin Xiao sat down and said, "Your yard has a very good location. I wonder if homestays are popular in the Mainland?"

"Xiao Lin." An Chunhe took off his reading glasses, "I know what you said, I really have this idea, but I'm getting old and I don't want to make such a high profile."

"It's a pity to have such a large passenger flow."

"be careful and live long."

Having said that, Lin Xiao said bluntly:

"Are you in the antique business?"

"Exchange, cultural exchange." An Chunhe corrected.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiao smiled, "Taiwan is not as well-established as the mainland, but its business channels are very mature."

"Xiao Lin, you are asking me for something, are you giving me a way?" An Chunhe saw the clue.

"Don't dare. It's just because the commercial channels are mature and the public participation is high, so a junior like me can talk to you about this."

"Yeah, the environment is different."

Seeing that An Chunhe didn't seem interested, Lin Xiao said again:

"This year's spring auction in Taipei is very big. I wonder if you have seen the news."

"heard about it."

"Friends around me also participated, and seniors in the industry are also very optimistic."

"Oh?" An Chunhe seemed a little interested, but said, "I don't have anything to sell."

"The highest transaction price this time is a pair of Yuan blue and white porcelain. I have paid attention to the usual single transaction price, but it is far lower than the average price of this pair."

An Chunhe nodded, "These old objects are scattered all over the place. If they can be paired, the price will naturally increase several times."

"There is also a set of screens. The plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum are missing a piece of bamboo, and the price has far exceeded expectations. We all guess that when the bamboo screen enters the market, it will fetch a sky-high price."

"Haha...We Chinese pay attention to being neat and tidy." An Chunhe smiled, his face relaxed a little.He does have a lot of secrets, but he is not in a hurry to release them.To a certain extent, antique players tend to pursue perfection.If you have a teapot, you want to find the lid, and if you have a teacup, you want to make a set. It's not difficult to understand.

"If I were younger, I would go outside to broaden my horizons and see how people play now."

Lin Xiao saw that An Chunhe seemed to be relaxed, and said, "If you want to be interested, I welcome you at any time."

"Xiao Lin, what's the matter?" An Chunhe stopped smiling and looked at Lin Xiao.

"Old man, I'm really sorry..." Lin Xiao lowered his head in shame.

"Then I'll just say it straight." He smoothed his thoughts and said, "I took this opportunity to visit you this time, one is to improve the connection with the Mainland, the other is to introduce my junior brother to recognize you, and the third is my personal business... I want to ask you, do you still have the picture of the Pine Cliff Villa?"

"Haha." An Chunhe laughed for a while, "That picture is ruined, but I still like it very much. I keep it all the time. Do you want to see it?"

"I want to ask you to borrow it." Lin Xiao expressed his intention.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring it to you tomorrow."

Seeing that he was so forthright, Lin Xiao guessed that he might have misunderstood it.

"I'm afraid it will be a week before I get it back."

"Are you going to take it back?"

"Yes."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, An Chunhe remained silent for a while.

"Xiao Lin, you should know my concerns."

"Yes, so I was hesitant before coming here. But think about it, this is also an opportunity."

"It's better to be careful." An Chunhe leaned on the mahogany chair, looked at Lin Xiao, and suddenly smiled again.

"It's a small thing, but I'm old. Let me think about it."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao didn't dare to go any further. There were only these ideas he could offer An Chunhe, so he got up and said goodbye.

The lighting in the old house was insufficient, so Lin Xiao had no choice but to follow the moonlight and walk outside the entire courtyard.The moonlight reflected the sparkling West Lake, and he had no intention of watching it.When I found a canteen that was still open and bought a pack of cigarettes, I saw a taxi passing by and stopped.

"Brother!" Li Zhi got out of the car and walked to him.He found a big hotel and got on the phone with Joyce there.

"Are you all right?"

Li Zhi hesitated.

"It seems that...your mother couldn't find you at your house, so she went to the museum. She called you...she called you..."

"Okay, needless to say." Lin Xiao patted him with a smile.

"Hey..." Li Zhi sighed, "By the way, how did you talk with Mr. An?"

"I'm a little more sure than before I came here, but it's hard to say now."

"It's just a loan, it's not that I won't repay it." Li Zhi couldn't figure it out. When he saw An Chunhe during the day, the atmosphere was still very good.

"What do you think his business is?"

"Is this still a guess?"

"So he doesn't want to be too high-profile."

Li Zhi lowered his head, after much deliberation, he couldn't think of any good solution.

At night, Lin Xiao lay on the bed, quietly recalling every word Mr. An had said. He always felt that this matter was not without chance, but only a little bit short.What that point is, he can't think of it yet.

"Brother, are you still not asleep?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiao turned to one side, and found that Li Zhi was in a meditating posture, and he hadn't fallen asleep.

"Sleeping." Lin Xiao responded.

Li Zhi let out a long breath, "You are still stubborn...don't think about it, you need to have a good rest."

Running around for two consecutive days, although Marvin's matter is urgent, his brother's body is more important, and Li Zhi dare not take it lightly.

"Go to bed first." Lin Xiao perfunctory him.

"No... Senior sister wants me to watch you, how can I live up to her trust." Li Zhi expressed his determination slowly.

"Heh..." Lin Xiao turned over, "What time is it?"

"Here, see for yourself." Li Zhi threw the watch beside his pillow over.

This is the watch that Lin Xiao brought back from the United States and gave to Li Zhi.Lin Xiao picked it up and saw that it was almost two o'clock. How is Marvin?He must be very distressed now.

"It's getting late, go to sleep." Lin Xiao whispered.

Li Zhi didn't answer this time.

"Ah Zhi...Ah Zhi?" Lin Xiao looked over by the moonlight, and Li Zhi fell asleep sitting like that.He was still soundly asleep, and he didn't wake up when he was called twice.

Lin Xiao turned over and sat up, put the watch back lightly, took out a cigarette from under the pillow, and went to the yard.

Dressed in moonlight, Lin Xiao was alone in the small courtyard, thinking about it, he and An Chunhe could not talk about friendship, but An Chunhe took the initiative to stay overnight. As for the content of the evening chat, Mr. An seemed to be interested, although Later, he said that he needed to think about it, which meant that he was not completely negating it, but there was only one thing that moved him.What exactly is it?

Lin Xiao lit a cigarette, it was really quiet here, but the time left for him was really running out.

Just thinking of this, the sound of unhurried footsteps came from a distance.Someone came over.

The moonlight shone clear on the ground, allowing Lin Xiao to clearly see a tall and thin young man passing under the grape arbor, staggering a little, walked a few meters away from him, and stopped.

The visitors were also looking at him.

"Who's there?" The other party spoke first.He had obviously been drinking, but he was still sober after hearing the voice.

"I'm Lin Xiao." Lin Xiao replied standing without moving.

"Lin what? Where did you come from?" The other party took two steps closer nonchalantly, and saw Lin Xiao's appearance clearly through the moonlight.

"Yo, what a gentle little brother."

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head lightly upon hearing this.

"I'm from Taipei to pay a visit to Mr. An."

"Taipei?" The young man tilted his head and thought for a while, "Taipei oh!" The ending of the last oh was elongated, like a fishing line thrown out, and finally brought the normal thinking back to his mind.

"I've seen a lot of businessmen in Hong Kong, but I've never seen one in Taipei... You, you don't look like a businessman." The young man looked Lin Xiao up and down without concealing his gaze.

"I really don't do business, I just came to pay a visit." Lin Xiao also took a step forward and saw the young man clearly.

The opponent was even taller than Lin Xiao, but he was thinner, with delicate features, fair skin, and a youthful look.He was holding the coat nonchalantly in his hands, and his exposed fingers were also long and slender, like a pampered second-generation ancestor.

Lin Xiao had some guesses in his heart, and the other party suddenly said:

"Is Taipei North America?"

"It's beautiful, but it's not as beautiful as here. The scenery is unique." Lin Xiao replied politely without turning the corner for a moment.

"Oh, that's not interesting." The other party seemed to be a little interested just now, but after Lin Xiao said that, he became calm again.

Seeing the change in his expression, Lin Xiao suddenly felt blessed, and thought of something, but the other party had lost interest, and he was thinking about how to speak again.The young man had already pulled out his long legs again, and when Kankan walked past Lin Xiao, he said with a smile, "Your accent is quite interesting, unlike Cantonese, you can't even understand it."

"Heh..." Lin Xiao took the initiative to apologize and smiled, "Have you been to Hong Kong?"

Hearing the words, the young man stopped again, facing Lin Xiao and raised his eyebrows vigorously, "No, I have seen the people over there." After speaking, he wanted to leave again.

"Hong Kong and Taipei are actually fun." Lin Xiao said unhurriedly.

"Ah?" The young man turned around after hearing the words, "What's a good way to play?"

"How do you say this?" Lin Xiao pretended to think for a moment, "It seems that this time is the time for fun."

"Is there still something to play at this late?" The other party was obviously interested.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded, "I live in Taipei, you can go and have a look if you have a chance."

"Okay." The young man responded cheerfully, as if he had no intention of doing so.In the next second, his face suddenly changed again, and he looked Lin Xiao up and down again.

"Xiao Lin, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you don't look like the kind of person who would go out and play around at night."

"Haha", Lin Xiao was amused, and he explained: "It's not the kind of fun you said. After work, everyone will go for entertainment and reduce stress. There are more people, so it's fun. It's boring like me. People, sometimes go there, it's very relaxing."

"Pastime...decompression..." The young man repeated these two words with a smile on his face, "I like this word, my group of friends will play cards and sing karaoke, and you will also sing karaoke ?"

"People who talk about business will go to the hotel to spend. I don't do business, so I haven't been there yet."

"Consumption..." The young man repeated Lin Xiao's words, seeming to be more and more interested. "What do you call girls, what kind of girl?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Taiwan girls? Or hot girls?"

"Yes! Yes! You have a lot of new gadgets, and they are all fun to listen to." The young man seemed to be thinking of something, and he looked overjoyed.

"There is also Betel Nut Girl, have you heard of it?" Lin Xiao began to lure the enemy deeper.

"I've never heard of it, so many girls?" The young man's face was full of longing.

Lin Xiao felt that it was almost done, so he said: "Well, so you should go and have a look if you have a chance. The definition of fun is different, and sometimes it is interesting even if it is fresh."

"Yes!" The young man nodded, "I just like the new words in your mouth." Speaking of which, he patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder loudly, but not hard.

"I can't just listen to what you say, I'll find a chance to see it myself."

"That's right."

"Let's go! Sleep!" The young man turned around and walked forward in satisfaction.

Lin Xiao looked at his back and nodded thoughtfully.

The young man walked a few steps, then trotted back, and said, "Don't tell anyone you've seen me."

Back on the bed again, Lin Xiao felt much calmer in his heart, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Li Zhi woke up in a weird half-prostrate position, half of his body was numb.Look at the watch, it is already 08:30, it is not too early.

Get out of bed and look at Lin Xiao, he is still fast asleep.Li Zhi paced back and forth in the room twice, but decided not to wake him up, and went out to finish his breakfast first.

Li Zhi originally planned to go out, but as soon as he left the small courtyard, someone invited him to have breakfast together, so he was in trouble.If you go out and don't know the place, you can save yourself from being slaughtered.Besides, when it comes to eating in one place, you have to have a small kitchen at home to make decent local flavors.

The soup dumplings and side dishes were paired with porridge, which made him very upset.After eating comfortably, I let go of my worries, and felt that I was so petty, even if I was slaughtered, how much would I spend for a breakfast.Just thinking about it while eating, thinking about it while eating, a bunch of twists and turns in my mind, deliberately not thinking about borrowing paintings, so as not to make others look at me with a preoccupied appearance.

Back in the room, it was already ten past nine.

"Brother, get up and have breakfast." Li Zhi put the breakfast he brought back on the table, and walked over to see Lin Xiao.

"Why are you still asleep, is there any discomfort?"

Li Zhi sat beside Lin Xiao and patted Lin Xiao's shoulder lightly.

"Brother?" He leaned closer and called in a low voice.

Lin Xiao was sleeping soundly and didn't want to open his eyes, but when he heard Li Zhi came back, he was afraid that he would be worried, so he half sat up in response.

"what time is it?"

"It's getting late." Li Zhi pointed to the hands of his watch, "Look, it's past nine o'clock."

Lin Xiao propped himself up halfway, blinked his eyes, and said, "That's still early."

"Where is it early? We still have to see Mr. An, don't the old people wake up very early." Seeing that Lin Xiao had got up, Li Zhi hurriedly took out the breakfast he had brought back and set it up.

"People with a hangover should not get up so early." Lin Xiao said, getting up and getting dressed.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Li Zhi didn't understand why, so he asked.

"I should have seen this place yesterday...how should I put it, young master." Lin Xiao slightly explained.

Li Zhi heard it, but he didn't believe it.

"Really? I heard that his family has no sons, only two daughters."

"Oh...you do know." Lin Xiao thought that Li Zhi should also be paying attention to the conversations of the people around him.

"Maybe they're relatives."

Lin Xiao washed up and sat down at the table.

"Azhi, come here." He waved to Li Zhi.

"I've eaten!" Li Zhi said, and sat down opposite Lin Xiao.

"Give me your watch."

Lin Xiao spread his hands towards Li Zhi.

"What are you doing..." Li Zhi protected his left hand with his nervous right hand, and withdrew his body backwards.

Lin Xiao couldn't help being happy.

"I'll borrow it from you."

Li Zhi pretended to be dubious, took off the watch with a heartache, and gently put it in Lin Xiao's hand.At the end, I have to say one more sentence, "I borrowed it, brother must keep his word."

"Definitely." Lin Xiao replied with a smile.

Seeing Lin Xiao's relaxed and calm smile, Li Zhi guessed that his brother must have thought of a new way, and he really relaxed a lot emotionally.

After dinner, Lin Xiao took Li Zhi for a walk by the West Lake. Li Zhi was anxious and dragged Lin Xiao back after walking not far.When we got to the arch, we met An Chunhe coming back from the outside.

"Xiao Lin, drink tea with me, this year's new tea has caught up with you." An Chunhe seemed to be in high spirits.

"Ha... What a coincidence that I came here." The three of them went to the main room again.

The tea was served, and Li Zhi picked it up and sipped it carefully. I really felt the sweetness and fragrance in my spleen. I thought it would be fine if I didn't have the task of borrowing paintings. I feel a little disappointed with this cup of good tea.

An Chunhe was chatting with Lin Xiao when someone walked in through the side door.The man was wearing a baggy short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and looked like he had just woken up.

An Chunhe's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you willing?"

"Hey." This person cheekily moved up to An Chunhe, the same young man Lin Xiao met last night.

"I'll come when I smell it!"

He sat down beside An Chunhe, unceremoniously brought the teacup to him, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Oh, I'm awake, I'm awake."

There was anger in An Chunhe's voice, but he couldn't hold back a smile on his face, presumably because he loved the young man very much.

"Look at your unconvincing look."

He said to Lin Xiao, "This is my nephew, named Anping."

He said to Anping again: "This is your Brother Lin, Brother Li, from Taipei, go over and say hello."

Anping put down his teacup, and quickly ran to Lin Xiao, "Calling me big brother is calling me old, Brother Xiao Lin, Brother Xiao Li, I am Anping, just call me Xiao An."

He shook hands with Lin Xiao and Li Zhi very skillfully, then rushed back to his seat and inhaled into the teacup.

"You've learned all the manners in a dog's stomach." An Chunhe was dissatisfied.

Anping raised his head: "Wow! Wang woof!"

An Chun kindly raised his hand to hit him, but he quickly covered his head and begged for mercy: "Uncle, uncle, uncle, please save me some face in front of my brother."

An Chunhe has only two daughters, both of whom are married, and now there is only one nephew to accompany him in the yard.

Lin Xiao and Li Zhi laughed together.

Anping held the teacup and squeezed between the two of them, and said, "I'm sitting with my brother."

An Chunhe could only sigh, "No one is of the right type."

Lin Xiao knows that although the elders often scold the younger generation, they actually like to see the younger generation acting like a baby by their side. An Chunhe must have a deep affection for Anping.

"Xiao An, waking up early is good for your health." He couldn't help but feel like an elder.

"Brother, you don't know, I'm busy, who doesn't want to lie down and rest early, I run around every day, it's easy for me."

Anping didn't see anything, and vomited bitterness to Lin Xiao.

"What are you busy with? Aren't you busy playing around?" An Chun asked softly.

"Uncle, I can walk around Hangzhou with my eyes closed, and I can't lose it. When guests come, I will be a free tour guide. I can't call it fun." Anping retorted.

He flicked off the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, took a sip, turned his head, and saw Lin Xiao's hand next to the teacup.

"Ah!" Anping took Lin Xiao's hand in both hands, "Brother Lin, where did you buy this watch? It's so beautiful!"

Lin Xiao smiled, untied it immediately, and put it in Anping's hands for a closer look.

"I just bought it in Taipei."

Li Zhi thought to himself: It turns out that senior brother can also lie.

"This is a limited edition, so it's not easy to buy." Li Zhi added.

"Really!" Anping held the watch in his hand and looked at it over and over again, "No wonder I can't find any good-looking ones in the mall."

He stretched out his hand in front of Lin Xiao, "Look at me, brother. I have thin hands. It doesn't look good to wear a big watch. This one is just right. What brand is it?"

Li Zhi rolled his eyes silently. Although he knew that he shouldn't be thinking wildly at this time, he still couldn't help worrying that his watch might be lost.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao said in time, "There is a more refined one in this series, which should suit you." He gestured seriously on Anping's hand.

Anping reluctantly returned the watch to Lin Xiao.

"Hey... It's better to go to your place. I haven't traveled far, so I can visit your place anytime."

"The last time I asked you to go to Hong Kong with Uncle Zhang, you didn't go." An Chun said softly.

"I don't understand what they're saying." An Ping turned back to An Chunhe.

"Uncle, have I behaved well recently?"

"What do you want to do?" An Chunhe asked cautiously.

"I think... go out and open your eyes." He winked at his dear uncle, but seeing that it didn't work, he picked up his hand again and shook it from side to side.

"Just you? Still want to embarrass me by going to Taipei?" An Chunhe sullenly, but Anping knew that his uncle's attitude had softened.

He ran to grab Lin Xiao's hand again, "I'll follow my brother, I can't lose him."

"Hey..." An Chunhe was defeated.

"They're busy with work, so they don't have time to fool around with you."

"Then you also find something for me to do, I will go out seriously, and I promise not to embarrass you!"

Although Anping is young, he is thick-skinned and familiar with things by nature. Some matters that An Chunhe is not easy to come forward to, are all handled by him, and he can handle them properly.

Thinking of this, An Chunhe also moved Anping to go outside to explore the market.In fact, he knows that he is one step slower than others, but he has always been cautious.It would be good to let Anping come forward.

An Chunhe looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao put down his teacup and said, "Master An, I'm going back to Taipei soon, why don't Xiao An come with us to take care of each other."

"Well, I'm very relieved that you've always been steady. It's just this kid who doesn't live up to his expectations and wants to cause trouble for you."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Xiao An is sensible."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Anping nodded quickly, "I'm sensible now."
