if you serious you lose

For four years, Lin Yuan kept repeating this number softly in his mouth.

That man suddenly returns again, how long will he stay this time?

The news brought by Yan Zhilv fell into his mind like a boulder. During this period of time, he finally calmed down. Sitting in the rest room, Lin Yuan couldn't think about anything else, only his ears were buzzing. The crackling and wild beating of his heart reminded him that time was still passing.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan slowly got up and walked to the window, touching the old frame, his eyes were sore and his heart was stuffy.

Pressing the position on his chest, he always did this in the past, exerting force secretly while thinking about the past, as if this could make the raised mark return a tingling feeling, reminding him that some things can still be tied looking at that person.

But today, he didn't do this, because Yan Zhilu's phone call had already brought the effect he wanted, but this time, Lin Yuan was no longer suffering from that person's uncertainty, but began to hate that he had not made any progress and was still determined. Expect yourself.

Lin Yuan, who fell into self-spite, was finally rescued by the knocking of the staff on the door. He suddenly visited several old experts from the Tea Research Institute downstairs. Among the many guiding opinions, one of them is Lin Yuan's tea ceremony master, so he must not be neglected.

Lin Yuan quickly sorted out his emotions, and hurried downstairs to meet the guests.

"Xiao Lin, our old fellows are here again, hahaha!"

Before going down the stairs, Lin Yuan heard a familiar voice. When he looked up, the first thing he saw was the iconic white beard. Lin Yuan ran a few steps to the guests, greeted them one by one, He bent down and led the elders upstairs.

"Master, your body is so strong, it has nothing to do with the word old."

The man called Master by Lin Yuan had a long beard, wore light-colored cotton and linen clothes, and wore dark-colored cloth shoes, with a mellow voice. At first glance, he seemed to be a solemn and deep elder, but As soon as he heard his hearty laughter, people immediately felt very friendly, and this wonderful combination made him feel like a fairy.

"Xiao Lin's mouth is so sweet. He is neither old nor old. We are not convinced by the old. This time we came empty-handed and didn't bring any tea. We just sit and sit. Don't feel pressured. We are old friends. Let's make some casually. Just Pu'er."

"Old Chu is right, we are comfortable here, and if we get in touch with young people like you, our mentality will be different. Speaking of which, it is thanks to the Chu family who has the insight to transfer the bar to Xiao Lin, hey, Boy Chu has been abroad for many years, why haven't I seen him come back? Could it be that he married a foreign daughter-in-law abroad and was reluctant to come back?"

The elders all laughed heartily. The boy Chu in Lao Chen’s mouth called Lao Chu his uncle, but because the elder of the Chu family left early, this uncle of Lao Chu was just like his own grandfather. The relationship between the two has been close since childhood. We all know that Lao Chu values ​​this grandson the most, and he is always disgusted and picky on the surface, but if someone really dares to touch Chu boy, Lao Chu will definitely not let him go.

The few present here are all close friends who have been with Lao Chu for half a lifetime, and they also watched the only seedling of the Chu family grow up, so they don't worry too much, and they can make some harmless jokes at will.

However, these inadvertent ridicules instantly made Lin Yuan's nerves tense. He opened the door and let a few distinguished guests sit behind the tea room that had been cleaned up. It's cold, the only thing I can do is not to make my movements look too stiff.

"That kid has such a restless temper. I've been used to it for a long time. However, he is coming back recently. Xiao Lin, you know about this. You have such a good relationship, and you should have been in touch these years."

Elder Chu's question undoubtedly hurt Lin Yuan's heart again. This time when Chu He returned to China, he did not receive any news. In fact, since he left four years ago, Chu He had not had much contact with him. Lin Yuan knew that This man will always work and travel in different places, so he will tell himself not to expect a fixed and continuous contact between the two, as long as he can hear from him occasionally, even through others.

"Well, I generally know it, but I don't know the exact date."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Mr. Chu didn't extend the topic too much, and instead talked with a few old friends about the experience of practicing Zen in a Japanese temple, the tea ceremony, and Zen Buddhism. How could the experts care about it? In the life of gossip juniors, each of them was full of interest and expressed their opinions. Lin Yuan, who was on the side, glanced at the master gratefully, and took out the iron pot to boil water.

"Xiao Lin still keeps that copper pot. Didn't I say it last time? The handle is like this. It's too dangerous. I didn't ask someone to send you a new one. Why is it useless?"

When Lin Yuan opened the cabinet, Mr. Chu glanced distractedly, and he couldn't help asking about the copper pot inside.

"Mr. Chu, I'm keeping the pot you gave me. In fact, I'm used to it, and I feel that it doesn't feel good after changing it. Just think of me as a person with many problems. Haha."

Lin Yuan didn't forget to make fun of himself, and Mr. Chu didn't ask any more questions, but when he turned his head to return to the discussion with his old friends, he sighed quietly.

How could he not remember that this copper pot was given to his grandson Chu He when he was a child, in order to teach him the tea ceremony, but his grandson is a restless master who only loves to drink tea and can taste tea, but just can't do it To make tea these processes, so, to give him a whole set of tea set is just thinking that he can use it for those who can make tea for him.

However, Mr. Chu still felt that his grandson treasured the tea set he gave him, and kept it in his collection all the time. He rarely used it when entertaining friends. Somewhat surprised.

For Lin Yuan, Mr. Chu's first and deepest impression was that when his grandson was in high school, he suddenly brought home a beautiful boy one day.

Elder Chu didn't live with Chu He, but that day, Chu He ran to him without warning and asked him for help, holding Lin Yuan in his arms who couldn't hide his delicate face even though his body was covered in bruises.

The well-informed Mr. Chu did not panic. He brought the two children into the house, called the doctor friend he had a personal acquaintance with, and waited for Lin Yuan's wounds to be bandaged. Finally, he asked his grandson carefully about what happened.

This pretty boy is only eight or nine years old, and this kind of wound obviously does not appear on ordinary children. After knowing Lin Yuan's identity, Mr. Chu was silent for a long time, while Chu He kept guarding the boy. Follow the doctor's instructions to observe the fever and fever caused by the wound.

City S also had a mixed period in its early years. The geographical location away from the political center and the tradition of emphasizing family and regional gangs made it a paradise for some local gangs. Until S City was planned by the government as a key area for economic development, and troops were stationed there. Coupled with the contribution of Shengshi Group's Yanjia to S City, the atmosphere of the world has long been washed away.

Therefore, Mr. Chu was shocked that children from gang families like Lin Yuan would be attacked in broad daylight in S city. After asking a few questions, Mr. Chu's doubts were answered.

It turned out that Lin Yuan's father was from City H, which is adjacent to City S, so he joined a local gang in City H.

Mr. Chu guessed that it might be for the sake of the children. Seeing that the development of S City is so good, Lin's father and Lin's mother hoped to move here, break away from the gang, and live a normal life again.

But obviously, the organization in City H didn't want to let the Lin family's parents go easily, they chased them so far, and they didn't hesitate to threaten the adults by harming the children. Knowing this, Mr. Chu's heart sank.

This child is a big trouble. To be hunted down by the original organization so recklessly, presumably the child's parents either hold important positions in the gang, or have something against them.

No matter what the situation is, looking at the injuries on the child, Mr. Chu does not want his grandson to step into this muddy water.

The Chu family can be called a typical scholarly family. Mr. Chu himself is a famous scholar, and Chu He’s parents are also first-class scientists and university professors. The family moved here from the north in recent years. It's not a matter of power, wealth, and wealth. There is no problem with living a good life, but to protect a child whose parents were hunted down by gangs, Chu honestly feels powerless to protect a child whose parents are hunted down by gangs.

The child Chu He probably also took this into consideration, knowing that his parents would definitely not accept it, so he brought him here. Thinking of this, Mr. Chu couldn't bear it.

When he was so entangled, there was some movement in the room. Mr. Chu approached and saw that Lin Yuan, who had fallen asleep, woke up and struggled to leave, but was scolded loudly by Chu He in his arms.

"You little boy, why are you so stubborn? Just after the fever subsides, you want to run away before the medicine on the wound has dried up. Haven't you suffered enough yet?"

Xiao Linyuan was still writhing in Chu He's arms at first, but when he heard the elder brother speaking in such a stern tone, he stopped struggling, and the pain in the wound seemed to come out densely from his body all of a sudden. , the grievances in his heart also poured out, the boy who was used to being patient since he was a child didn't say a word, but big teardrops fell on Chu He's arms one after another, it was amazingly hot.

Chu He is most afraid of people crying. In the past, he always felt that he was afraid of girls crying, and he was so dazed that people could not do anything. But now he felt that he was even more afraid of the child crying in his arms. He slowly turned the person around, faced him, and looked at this Lin Yuan, who always looked stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, felt in his heart that children of this age should not be so strong and forbearing.

Distressed, it was this kind of emotion that made Chu He more and more unable to ignore him. Thinking about what would happen to this child if his basketball hadn’t just rolled into that alley today, Chu He took a few deep breaths and wiped it away with his hands. With the tears on the boy's face, he adjusted his tone again, and comforted him: "It's my brother's fault, so I shouldn't kill you, but have you forgotten your promise to listen to my brother unconditionally once?"

Hearing the familiar gentle voice, Lin Yuan awkwardly parted the big hand that was smearing his face, and stared at Chu He's questioning his credibility.

During the time when he lived in Yan Zhilu's house, Lin Yuan always followed Yan Zhilu to play with his brother and his brother's friend, that is, Chu He. In fact, it was mainly Chu He who seemed to like teasing him. So I often come to Yan's house to take him to play, and always make up some inexplicable games. There are hidden traps in several play-like games, which made Lin Yuan owe Chu He a bet in a daze. At that time, he was a little angry Lin Yuan only wanted to pay off the debt immediately, but was temporarily reserved by the cunning Chu He, who did not expect it to be used now.

Chu He saw Lin Yuan's concern and care for Mr. Chu. He had never seen his grandson care so much about someone who had nothing to do with him. This made him unable to say no to him. Look at that precocious Children and experienced old people can't help but feel unbearable.

"Son, just listen to your elder brother Chu's words, stay here with grandpa, and go back after recovering from your injuries. I'll contact your parents. Do you have your parents' phone numbers? I'll call them to make them feel at ease. "

The appearance of Mr. Chu made Lin Yuan very nervous. Because he was relatively young, he knew in his heart that Brother Chu's grandfather should not be bothered, but he couldn't say anything. When he heard the other party ask his parents' contact information, he trembled a little. .

"Grandpa, let's talk about this later. Thank you for taking him in. I will come to take care of him every day in the future. This child is actually very sensible, and he will definitely not cause you any trouble."

After waving his hands, Mr. Chu told his grandson not to say those restrained words, walked to the bed, touched Lin Yuan's head lightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, son, grandpa is not a bad person, and there will be no bad people here." here."
