When Ye Shiyuan stepped into the castle again, he clearly felt that the feeling here was different from before.

In the past, the castle was always empty and cold, with no popularity at all. The people who work and live here are all serious and hurried, not daring to stay in front of Lin Pei for a moment.

but now……

"It's really a lucky star." He smiled and shook his head, climbed up to the second floor, and saw that the door of the master bedroom was ajar, without thinking too much, he just opened the door and walked in.

"Patriarch, Xiaodong, I'll—"

He looked at the two people sitting on the sofa, closed his mouth, and showed a gritty expression.

"... Teacher Ye, why are you here so late at night?"

Lin Xiaodong was startled, and quickly jumped off Lin Pei's lap.Under the light, the teenager's lips looked a little strangely red, and the shiny lips were soft and moist to the touch, and slightly swollen, like the color of a ripe peach.

Sitting on the sofa, Lin Pei pursed his lips eagerly, tidied up his messy clothes, frowned and looked at Ye Shiyuan who was standing blankly at the door: "Say, what's the matter?"

The implication is: if there is no important report, you are dead.

Ye Shiyuan's body froze, but he still bite the bullet and said: "Patriarch, we captured one of the mercenaries who attacked you back then."

Although they were all masked at the time, Shiyuan still firmly remembered the physical characteristics of the leader in the middle of the melee, especially his voice, which sounded very Spanish.After some investigation, the net was finally successfully closed today and the person was arrested.

"What's the result of the interrogation?" Lin Pei asked.

Ye Shiyuan: "This person has obviously received torture training. He is probably a retired special soldier from a certain country. We sent a psychologist to help the police interrogate him for three hours, but he still refused to reveal the identity of his employer."

Lin Pei's face darkened: "Then continue the interrogation until he is willing to speak. This kind of mercenary is already working for money. How much loyalty do you expect them to have?"

The man was obviously a little annoyed. If Ye Shiyuan couldn't handle such a simple matter, he would really doubt the ability of his subordinates.

"But Patriarch," Ye Shiyuan said with difficulty, "Although we didn't ask about the mastermind of the attack, we inadvertently obtained a very critical piece of information... about the mission goal of their team."

He came over and said something softly to Lin Pei.

Lin Xiaodong on the side suddenly opened his eyes wide. He also heard the name of that key person, and he could even hear it often on the TV news.He turned his head to look at Lin Pei with a dignified face: "Isn't this a big deal?"

Lin Pei nodded slowly.

This matter really has nothing to do with the Lin family, but once they succeed, the entire upper echelon of the country will be shaken.In particular, the person they caught was just a small leader in the entire mercenary team - just a small leader can cause heavy losses to the security of the Lin family, let alone a large group dispatched?

"It just so happens that that person is not in Beijing recently. It is estimated that politicians from other countries are secretly funding such a big operation." Lin Pei thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Who else knows about this matter except you and those interrogators?" ?”

"No more." Ye Shiyuan shook his head, "Don't worry about this, I will have people control all the insiders as soon as I get the news, and I will never let the information leak."

He pushed the wheelchair over and together with Lin Xiaodong supported Lin Pei to sit on it.

"You should rest first." Lin Pei looked at Lin Xiaodong, his serious expression softened a little, "I'll be back with you after I go to the study to deal with things."

The boy said helplessly, "I'm not a three-year-old anymore."

But no matter in the eyes of Ye Shiyuan or Lin Pei, Lin Xiaodong is just a child.

After a winter of teaching evaluation and assessment, finally, Lin Pei decided to accept Lin Shining as his heir against all opinions, and began to consciously teach her some ways to deal with things.Lin Xiaodong can often see a girl with a ponytail in the study, standing by the desk and whispering questions to the man.

This keen young girl seemed to have noticed the extraordinary relationship between him and Lin Pei. After a few days of depression, she quickly adjusted her mood and began to work hard towards the position of Patriarch.

Lin Xiaodong really wanted to take a picture of the report that Lin Shanshan stayed up all night to write to Lin Pei, and the photo was pasted on the faces of those old men in the Lin family who clamored that "women can't hold power", so that they can see if their level is worthy of evaluating this 14-year-old little girl.

But he also knew that this time things were different from the past, even if Lin Pei consciously wanted to exercise Lin Shining's ability, he would never let her participate in it.

Therefore, Lin Shining, who was rarely relaxed, simply came to him.

"When are you going to college?" The girl sat on the steps at the gate of the castle, looking at the workers and flower farmers busy in the garden, and asked with some regret, "When you go to college, I will be alone in the castle. I'm going to be bored to death."

"Why, isn't there someone in charge of them?" Lin Xiaodong casually gnawed at the chocolate in his hand, and gave Lin Shanshan a piece by the way, "If you can't do it, you can still go to Lin Pei, don't look at him like this, he actually likes it very much. stay with children."

Thinking of the handsome but indifferent face of the Patriarch, Lin Xingxuan couldn't help but shudder.

"Forget it," she said with lingering fear, "I have to spend a lot of courage every time I ask him a question. I really don't know how you can talk and laugh with him."

Lin Xiaodong thought for a while: "...is there any?"

When he and Lin Pei were together, they would either quarrel with each other, or squabble, and... ahem, in short, there was no time for chatting and laughing at all.

"Anyway, the university I went to is not far from here, and it takes less than two hours to drive there." He stretched his waist, put his hands behind his head, and lay lazily on the steps basking in the sun, "What about you? I remember that you seem to be taking the high school entrance examination this year."

Occasionally, when the tutor is not around, Lin Shanxian will take the homework book and ask him questions. Unfortunately, Lin Xiaodong even let the system fool most of his homework, even the knowledge of junior high school has long been forgotten.In order not to mislead his son, he bought a bunch of junior high school teaching aids to make up for it, which made Lin Pei feel depressed for several days, and his whole body smelled of vinegar.

"By the way, I still haven't finished writing a paper!"

Unexpectedly, this sentence reminded Lin Shining, the girl patted her head in frustration, stood up and ran away before even saying hello.

"...It's nice to be young."

Lin Xiaodong sighed endlessly, let out a long sigh, and slowly turned over in the bright sunshine.

"This kid is real." Ye Shiyuan on the second floor saw this scene through the window, dumbfounded.

But soon he suppressed his smile, and continued to deal with this incident with Lin Pei, contacting relevant personnel, investigating various forces... They have too few clues to form evidence, even if they tell it. Someone will believe it.

"But Patriarch," Ye Shiyuan still couldn't help asking, "Are we really going to go through this muddy water? Politics...even if it's the Lin family, if you make a wrong move, you will be doomed."

"Now it's not a matter of whether we want to go into the muddy water." Lin Pei raised his head from behind the thick information and looked at him calmly, "Why do you think that mercenary who refused to reveal the name of his employer would Telling us this so easily? Do you really think that he just 'casually slipped the tongue'?"

Ye Shiyuan was startled.

"You mean," he said hoarsely, "someone is plotting against us and deliberately trying to drag Lin's family into the water?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Lin Pei tapped on the armrest, pondered for a moment, and ordered decisively: "I tell those Lin family members who are out on business trips recently to pay attention, especially those who are abroad. It is best to come back first."

"clear."

This year's summer came earlier than usual.

The green curtain walls in the castle garden have all been demolished. In the shed, the thriving sunflowers have not yet reached their flowering season, but a few sporadic blooming flower discs can already be seen.Lin Xiaodong, who had been looking forward to the whole winter, began to gear up, and was ready to show his talents when they matured.

During the whole summer vacation, he had nothing to do, so he planted flowers, green onions and garlic on the castle terrace, contracted the onion, ginger and garlic ingredients for the entire canteen, and brought Lin Shining together to catch rabbits and shoot birds in the forest around the castle , euphemistically called "revisiting the fun of childhood", but the teacher in charge of teaching the little girl's etiquette was very angry.

But even if the teacher complained to Lin Pei, it would be of no use. Lin Pei's connivance with Lin Xiaodong in this regard can be said to have reached a heinous level, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as wanting the stars and not the moon.

The many toys left in the castle as rewards were all cheap to Lin Xiaodong, and thousands of pieces of collectible souvenirs filled the room.After being deeply poisoned by SpongeBob SquarePants, Lin Pei not only did not hate the yellow squares as others thought, but even invited a band to sing to him in the castle hall after Lin Xiaodong's college entrance examination results came out. SpongeBob SquarePants theme song...

After knowing this, Ye Shiyuan couldn't help but sigh: How can there be such a spoiled child in the world.

But Lin Pei didn't think that he was coddling, and Lin Xiaodong was not his child, the man was very calm about his behavior - it's only natural to spoil his wife, what's wrong?

Of course, Lin Pei dared not say this to Lin Xiaodong face to face.

After all, he still has a "handle" to be held by the young man.

"I hate this posture," Lin Xiaodong would clasp his shoulders tightly with his ten fingers in the dead of night, panting for breath, while biting his lower lip and asked him, "It's just... Human, when will you stand up?"

In this regard, Lin Pei has nothing to do.Although he liked it quite a bit, not only could he see the young man's pretty face with a slight blush, but also that bold and shy expression with a trance of loss, which always made his heart itch.However, the form is better than the person. After experiencing the lonely and cold experience of accidentally teasing someone with fried hair and being left on the bed, Lin Pei finally learned to behave.

When he heard similar complaints later, he could only coax the boy in his arms kindly, and then went to the gym to exercise his arms hard the next day...

As a result, he found that when he saw his freshly baked abs, Lin Xiaodong's eyes suddenly burst into a frightening light, and Lin Pei was almost flattered by the enthusiasm that night.

"Honey, Darling," the boy turned sideways, stroking his abs affectionately, and confessed enthusiastically, "I knew that you loved me so much, you would never leave me."

Lin Pei leaned on the bed and thought about life: "..."

Although this sentence was indeed said to himself, why did he always feel that there was something wrong?

When the last trace of chill on the ground was blown away by the warm wind, finally, the sunflowers in the castle garden bloomed.

This kind of sunflower is different from all other flowers, it is born to belong to the light, the golden petals are layered on top of each other, crowded together lively, the tall flower stems seem to grow up to the sun, All are facing the direction of the sun, swaying with the wind, like undulating golden ocean.

When Lin Xiaodong came back from school on weekends, he would often take out his large drawing board and move it to the edge of the garden, painting for an afternoon.

The sunflowers he paints are always brilliant, vibrant, and full of fiery power. After the paint on the paintings dries, Lin Pei will carefully collect each painting, good or bad.Lin Xiaodong once thought about taking a few of them and selling them for money, but he had no choice but to give up the idea after being firmly opposed.

As the sunflowers are gradually maturing, the garden also attracts a large number of birds to steal sunflower seeds. Lin Xiaodong spent a whole day making a scarecrow, but the effect was not great.

In the end, he was so angry that he put on a straw hat and pretended to be a scarecrow standing among the flowers. Whenever any thieves dared to approach, he immediately "resurrected" on the spot, scaring them away with claws and teeth.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Lin Pei watched from afar the young man wearing a straw hat running back and forth in the sunflower bushes, and a deep smile could not help but appear on the corners of his lips.

A few years ago, even in his dreams, he never imagined that he could have such a happy life.

"Sooner or later, I will pluck all your hairs and put them in the pot!"

Lin Xiaodong pressed the straw hat on his head, pointed at the group of crows hovering in mid-air who were still ruthless and cursed.

The crow quacked twice, and the ugly sound seemed to be mocking.

Don't look at the ugly crows, their IQ is one of the best among birds, and there is another point, that is, they are special, very, and extremely vengeful.If you hurt a crow and accidentally let it run away, then you are finished. It has been reported abroad that a man accidentally injured a crow's wing with a mousetrap, and since then The crows with a radius of several kilometers were squatting outside his house day and night. As long as he and his family drove out the door, they would frantically peck and peck. People were devastated and had to move out of here.

"What are you fussing about with a bunch of beasts?" Lin Pei couldn't help laughing when he saw the young man approaching cursingly, "I'll ask someone to make more scarecrows and put them in the flowers."

"It's useless at all! These crows are about to go to the sky!" Lin Xiaodong complained, his eyes fell on the wheelchair under the man, and he said clearly, "Is it time for rehabilitation? Look at me, I was caught by these birds Forget about everything that bothers you."

After several months of rehabilitation, with the help of equipment, although Lin Pei is still unable to stand independently, Lin Pei can already walk slowly without the help of handrails.Occasionally, Lin Xiaodong wakes up late on weekend mornings, and he can still see a man with instruments strapped to his legs, walking slowly in the corridor like an astronaut landing on the moon—to be honest, although he didn’t say it, it gives people the feeling It's kind of scary.

Lin Pei only needs to look at the expression on the young man's face to know that he is wandering away again. The man coughed and said helplessly: "I have finished today's exercise, I just came to remind you, don't forget tonight's banquet."

Both Lin Pei and Lin Xiaodong are people who like to be quiet, but behind them there is the whole big family of the Lin family, so communication and so on are naturally indispensable.Lin Pei paused for a long time after being injured, but now that his body is gradually recovering, the banquet will naturally resume.

"I put the dress in the bedroom for you, remember to go back and take a shower before changing." Lin Pei said, "There are also stylists and makeup artists, don't let them wait for you for too long."

"I still need to put on makeup..."

Lin Xiaodong sighed.

In this world, his [One-Click Dress Up] skill is almost useless, which not only made Lin Xiaodong feel sorry for the many points he exchanged back then.

When he came out of the bathroom, he found that what Lin Pei had prepared for him was a young white suit with an iris flower pinned to his chest, which looked very coquettish.

And when everything was finished, it took more than an hour.

Bored, Lin Xiaodong was leaning against the wall, playing matchmaker, touching his shriveled belly, at a celebrity banquet where people were drinking and laughing, all he was thinking about was asking the chef to cook him another small dish later. Lamb chops.

You can't get enough of the snacks at the banquet, okay?

But this was indeed the first time he saw so many guests in the castle, Lin Xiaodong took a glance and found that there were at least a hundred guests, but he didn't recognize any of them.So he lowered his head in relief and continued to play with his mobile phone.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Ye Shiyuan's voice came from ahead, and accompanied by the slight movement of the wheelchair, he pushed Lin Pei to the front of the crowd.

In order to attend the banquet, Lin Pei also changed into a black straight suit. Although the man was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was straight, and his aura was no less than that of any standing guests present.

He took the microphone from Ye Shiyuan and gave a brief speech, which was nothing more than about the development of the family in the past two years, expectations and blessings for everyone, and so on.Although this banquet was not considered a family banquet, most of the people present were from the Lin family, like many parents of the sixteen children were among them.

Lin Xiaodong was bored, so he found an opportunity to sneak out of the hall, and ran to the balcony alone to enjoy the breeze.

The originally empty terrace is now surrounded by various flower pots. After the castle chef repeatedly begged Lin Pei to let Lin Xiaodong stop planting those underdeveloped onions, gingers and garlics, he had no choice but to regret giving up the self-sufficiency. Thoughts, turned to plant other flowers.

The moon and stars are sparse tonight, and the weather is just right. He leans against the railing and counts the stars with his head raised.

The stars on the outskirts of the city are much clearer than those in the city, and the crooked moon is reflected on the lake in the distance, rippling with the evening wind.

I don't know how long it has passed, but when Lin Xiaodong was wondering whether he had counted 468 or 486, there was a sound of pushing the door behind him——

"squeak"

Lin Xiaodong turned around, saw the man pushing the wheelchair, asked him with a smile, "Are you bored?"

"That's right." Lin Xiaodong narrowed his eyes, curled his lips and said, "This kind of banquet is not as enjoyable as if I take you to the night market for a Teppanyaki meal."

Lin Pei laughed lowly: "I know you're greedy. Don't worry, I've ordered the back kitchen to make supper, and I'll let them serve it later."

He pushed the wheelchair to Lin Xiaodong's side, and said lightly: "Actually, this banquet is just a pretext, and you know that because of the previous incident, I told the Lin family to be more cautious these days, and it is best not to go abroad. But definitely Some people would not listen, so I simply re-organized a banquet and gathered as many people as possible. If someone is smart, he should have already discovered the clue from my series of actions."

"Is that so?" Lin Xiaodong looked down at the man's well-defined profile, and asked again, "Then what if there are still people who don't want to come back?"

"It's hard to persuade the damn ghost," Lin Pei smiled, but the words he said were very cruel, "It is also necessary for a big family to trim the branches and leaves properly."

Lin Xiaodong fell silent.

Lin Pei thought he was frightened by his attitude just now, and just about to think about his words to explain, he saw the young man grabbing the railing, sniffing his nose suddenly, and frowning: "Did you ask about the smell?"
