fully control

After Lin Xi finished solving the matter, he returned to the house on Wutong Road and saw his little prince playing cheerful music beside the piano. Although Lin Xi didn't understand music, he could feel that Xiao Ran was in a happy mood.

"So easy, the thesis is finished?"

"Well, it has been mailed."

Lin Xi took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ran, "For you."

"What..." Xiao Ran opened the envelope and poured out six concert tickets, "Ah—"

"Are you happy?"

Of course Xiao Ran is happy, the performance of the Austrian Royal Symphony Orchestra represents the world's top level, but this time they only landed in the imperial capital, there are only three performances, Xiao Ran has long wanted to go, but he is not sure that Lin Xi will He was allowed to go out, especially by plane.

"I know you like it. Tickets for all three performances are booked. Remember, next time if you like to see something, just tell me directly, even if I don't have time, I will ask someone to accompany you, huh?"

Xiao Ran looked at Lin Xi without saying a word, this inexplicable gift made him feel uncertain.There is a saying that if you don't have anything to do, you must be a traitor or a thief.Xiao Ran's thoughts were written all over his face, and Lin Xi, annoyed, pressed her with a long kiss on the spot, and kept leaning softly into his arms before giving up.Then, looking at Xiao Ran who still didn't know what to do but didn't let go of his guard, the frustrated Lin Xi casually used a ready-made excuse, "Didn't you miss the New Year's Concert in Vienna this year..."

Xiao Ran's New Year's holiday this year is definitely not happy. First, he was stimulated by a woman and almost fell ill, and then he was eaten by a barbecue until he had diarrhea on New Year's Day. The New Year's holiday was not over yet, and his lunch was full of wild vegetables. ... so many disasters.The young master used to spend the New Year holidays in major concert halls in Europe.It's just a pity that the first gift that the Crown Prince carefully prepared for Young Master Xiao Ran was eventually classified as 'compensation' by Young Master Xiao Ran, so the Young Master calmed down and accepted it.The prince was full of anger.

January always seems to be particularly busy and short. It seems that as soon as the New Year is over, the countdown to the annual peak passenger traffic in Huaguo begins, because the Lunar New Year is also approaching.Lin Xiaoran didn't have the habit of going to the streets to buy New Year's goods. Since his parents passed away, the concept of the New Year's festival had gradually faded in Xiao Ran's mind. He couldn't feel the atmosphere, but Lin Xi reminded him.

"Xiao Ran, will you go back to Yishan Mansion with me?"

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he was on guard, but he was not like before.

"Why is Zhang staring at me with such big eyes? The Lunar New Year is coming, you can't remember the day, don't others remember? Think about Long Er, he will go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year and reunite with his family. If you tell me now Let's go back to Yishan mansion together for a while, and they can also go home and stay longer."

This kind of reason pokes the softness in Xiao Ran's heart, it's just...

"We'll move back before school starts." Lin Xi dispelled Xiao Ran's last worry.In fact, Lin Xi didn't think that Xiao Ran would stay in school all day avoiding him in the next semester like this semester, but he couldn't say that.

The second day after Master Xiao Ran agreed, the man-eating shark swam back to its lair with its dragon spitting pearl in its mouth in satisfaction.

Xiao Ran was familiar with the Yishan mansion once and twice, after all, he had been sick and recuperated for a month last time, this time when he got out of the car, Xiao Ran followed Lin Xi and went straight to the main house.

Yishan Mansion is a pure European-style castle built at the beginning of the last century. It is said that it was the Consulate-General's Mansion built in China by a European country.The shape is a bit like the three-pointed star of a Mercedes-Benz car. It is divided into the main part and the left and right wings. In fact, each wing is about the same size. The two wings are divided into "guest use", the upper two floors are guest rooms, and the lower two floors are guest study, guest lounge, guest entertainment room, tea room...

The trunk part in the middle of the building became the main house, where Lin Xi lived in his daily life, and the first-level restricted area of ​​Yishan Mansion.Of course, the first time Xiao Ran came in for daily life, he had already penetrated into the restricted area.

In the main house, Xiao Ran's activity range is only three or five places, bedroom, living room, entertainment room... Xiao Ran especially prefers the largest living room, which is Zhengyang on the second floor, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the window is the most beautiful garden in the back house Lin Xi also installed a new Steinway grand piano, which Lin Xi told Xiao Ran when he was on the road, saying that it would save him from being bored in the house during the holidays.So after arriving at Yishan, Xiao Ran was not tired anyway, so Xiao Ran decided to go to the living room to try the piano first.

Lin Xi smiled but said nothing, but as soon as Xiao Ran entered the door, he saw an old man with crutches, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, sunglasses, and a dignified expression sitting on the sofa. Uncle De was standing beside him.If this was placed elsewhere, Xiao Ran might slander the strange behavior of wearing sunglasses in the room, but here, this person...

"Who are you?" The old man spoke in a loud voice.

"I..." Xiao Ran was a little confused.

"Father, it's me." Lin Xi entered the room behind Xiao Ran and spoke directly.

The old man tilted his head when he heard Lin Xi's voice, and Xiao Ran could clearly feel that the eyes under the sunglasses were still lingering on him, and then the old man nodded clearly, "Oh, it's you, come here and let me take a good look at you Look, how did you grow so big?"

Xiao Ran looked at the hand stretched out to him, feeling a little dazed, and looked back at Lin Xi: Could it be that the old man's eyes are invisible?

Lin Xi didn't speak, but just helped Xiao Ran take off his coat, then pushed Xiao Ran to the old man, let him be held by the old man, pulled him to his side, and Xiao Ran sat down nervously.

The old man held Xiao Ran's hand and touched it, "Are you busy studying recently?" The old man turned back and asked Uncle De, "Is there anyone bullying me at school?"

Xiao Ran didn't know what was going on, so he answered bravely, "Everything is fine in school, and the students are also very kind to me."

"Nobody bullied? Then why did you go home suddenly? Didn't you call home beforehand?"

Xiao Ran: "..."

Lin Xi came over at this moment, "It's winter vacation now, Dad."

The old man turned his head to look at the chatterer, "Who are you?"

Uncle De: "This is the young master."

The old man was still holding onto Xiao Ran's hand. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Ran carefully, raised his head and questioned Uncle De, "This child...Which woman gave birth to my second child?"

Xiao Ran: "..."

Uncle De: "Boss, the head of the Black Tiger Hall is here, would you like to chair the meeting?"

The old man: "Oh, is it time? Let's go."

Xiao Ran watched the old man put on his gloves in an orderly manner, checked the pistol at his waist in an orderly manner, took the little felt hat next to him, carried a walking stick, and took Uncle De with him, and went out boldly.

Xiao Ran opened his mouth, not knowing what to ask for a while.

"Alzheimer's disease, the old man has been recuperating in Switzerland a few days ago, and he said that the medical skills there are very good..." Lin Xi smiled helplessly, "As a result, I think it has become more and more confused in the past two years."

Xiao Ran understood that he was so confused that he couldn't even remember his son.

Apart from being a bit muddled, the old man is quite tough. The biggest difference between Xiao Ran's stay in Yishan this time and the last time is that there is an extra person in the family who always wears black leather gloves, sunglasses, is unsmiling, and carries a walking stick everywhere. The gangster 'former' brother who walks day and night.The old man napped for a while during the day, but at night he regained his energy, stomping on his crutches, and walked from upstairs to downstairs, for no other reason than to turn on the lights all the way—Lin Xi was afraid that the old man would fall in the dark , turned all the lights in the house into sound-activated ones - this is a fun thing, the old man had a lot of fun playing with it.After turning on the lights all the way in the middle of the night, I turned around and saw everything clearly, and then returned to the room with satisfaction.Seeing that it was completely dark outside, the old man was thinking about it and was not happy anymore, so he will come out again...

The old man is really in good health. Other old people use crutches, but the old man of the Lin family carries the cane specially. television.Xiao Ran spent a Lunar New Year in the Yishan mansion, and the TV in Mr. Lin's room was changed three times. Xiao Ran was a little puzzled. He didn't see the old man smashing things. Why would the TV always break when it is hung on the wall?

Later, I found out why.

Xiao Ran likes to go to the audio-visual room when watching TV. The audio-visual room is usually not big because of the surround effect of the sound. Xiao Ran came out of that room, holding a plate of leftover dim sum froth in his hand, confused, recognized that it was a cupboard for dim sum, and turned in.

As soon as he entered the room, the old man didn't see the snacks, but he was watching the TV on the wall. He had fun, picked up the crutches and poked on it, but he couldn't find the switch, and continued poking if he couldn't find the light. The crutches were knocked over and over again, bang, the TV was turned on.The old man smiled and looked at the bright colors inside, very happy.Looking back, seeing Xiao Ran came back, he smiled even happier, "My dear boy, which cabinet did you put the snacks in just now?"

Xiao Ran struggled to put down the remote control in his hand, he understood why those TVs were all broken.

In addition to poking around with a cane, the old man also has a hobby. He likes to eat snacks. He is a bit like a child and wants to taste those beautiful snacks, but the old man's blood sugar is a bit high. He is 80 years old. , there are some geriatric diseases to some extent, and it is not a big deal, but the doctor recommends that you can not eat sweets, it is best not to eat sweets.Therefore, among the few hobbies of the old man, dim sum is also strictly controlled.

Xiao Ran developed the habit of eating casual meals at school. Usually, the Lin residence on Wutong Road, whether it is the study room, the living room, or the attic, always has biscuits and snacks, and the Yishan mansion is also there, but now there is a doctor ordered to control it. Old man Lin who eats sweets, Xiao Ran had to go to the kitchen to bring a plate of dim sum when he ate snacks, and the amount was fixed at regular intervals, so the old man could not be seen.This time he was caught straight and stared at by Father Lin, Xiao Ran didn't know how to deal with it.

No matter how ignorant the old man is, he is also the former big brother of the underworld. Once he showed his pitiful aura, Xiao Ran had no choice but to lead the old man to the kitchen to ask for snacks. Salty snacks are always good, right?

Father Lin successfully came out of the kitchen with a plate of crispy scallion oil biscuits. Before Xiao Ran led him to the tea room for a solid meal, he suddenly heard the old man shouting loudly behind him, " What are you looking at!"

Xiao Ran was startled and turned around, seeing the old man facing the floor-to-ceiling windows at the end of the corridor with full momentum, "Look, I won't give you food either!"

"Father?" - Xiao Ran was forced by Mr. Lin to change his words.

"Hey boy, there's a bad old man over there trying to steal my biscuits..." The old man poked the glass with a crutch and rattled.Food protection is like something.

Xiao Ran looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows suspiciously. Apart from his own reflection, it was the image of the old man holding the biscuit plate tightly...

Compared to Li Ran getting the wholeheartedness of the old man and calling him "good boy" every bite, Lin Xi is a bit uncomfortable.I don't know if it's because Xiao Ran has grown up like a good baby, the old man has always recognized Xiao Ran as his son, and always stares at Lin Xi and frowns, acting like a thief.

"Hey boy, where did you find that man? Look at his hanging eyes and thin lips, he doesn't look like a good subordinate!" The old man took Xiao Ran's hand and taught his son how to manage his subordinates in a low voice. Before the old man finished speaking, The one who was not easy to get along with in his mouth said, "Dad, I have slanted eyes and thin lips, you can do whatever you want!" Lin Xi's face was so ugly that he couldn't see it. These two days, Xiao Ran was occupied by the old man, and he took every bite of a good boy. , he just had time to hug Xiao Ran, his little mouth was opened by his father with a walking stick before he could even kiss him.

Regarding Lin Xi, Father Lin was confused for a moment, then stomped his cane with full force, and asked Lin Xi, "Which way are you from?"

The corner of Uncle De's mouth twitched, and then quickly coaxed the old man away on the grounds that it was time to meet with the XX gang for afternoon tea.
