Chapter 36
Chapter 36
"Oh—" Lin Shen had just finished speaking, and Tao Ran had already started booing.
He elbowed Mo Juecheng who was sitting next to him: "Just now... at the hot spring pool..."
Xu Chen took a deep look at Lin Shen and chuckled lightly.
Among the three, he is the kind of person Lin Shen is most familiar with, a top student, who seems to be very serious in doing things, and has a plan.
Then Lin Shen looked at Xu Chen helplessly, and reached out to take out his wallet.
At least ten red cards of Grandpa Mao were drawn out and pressed in front of Tao Ran: "I am willing to bet and admit defeat."
Lin Shen:? ? ?
Tao Ran laughed and put away the banknotes: "Thank you Brother Chen, thank you Lin Shen, um, thank you Boss too!"
He winked at Mo Juecheng: "I'll treat you and Lin Shen to dinner later."
Lin Shen: "..."
etc!Why is there still a betting plot in it?
And Tao Ran and Xu Chen, betting on such things as themselves?
Are the two of you so boring? !
He was a little speechless.
Lin Shen has almost never played the game of truth or dare with friends of the same age.
His previous life was full of learning and learning.
Wanting to catch up in the footsteps of the genius big brother, he really couldn't relax for a minute.
Not to mention games, he didn't even participate in the famous night chat in the dormitory after he was in college.
He had heard that among boys, not only would they talk about girls, but they would also talk about some lewd topics.
But Lin Shen never thought of it.
Forget it Tao Ran, Xu Chen who looks so serious!
Two people would bet on themselves.
Still for this kind of thing!
Lin Shen's face suddenly turned red.
"It's a pity that the boss doesn't want to gamble." Tao Ran still sighed, and grumbled to Lin Shen, "Otherwise I could have invited you to a full banquet."
I thank you!
Lin Shen only felt that his stomach was full of flaws.
But for a while, I didn't know where to start.
He stared blankly at Tao Ran, then at Xu Chen.
Finally, his eyes fell on Mo Juecheng's face.
The other party's bright eyes were still looking at him.
In the eyes as deep as the night sky, when meeting Lin Shen's gaze, there seemed to be a flash of a smile.
Then Mo Juecheng coughed lightly, grabbed the poker: "Continue."
"Continue!" Tao Ran prepared to continue dealing the cards.
Lin Shen was a little restless.
He actually quite enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.
Being able to relax and play games like this with friends of the same age.
This is something he has never experienced before.
But he was a little nervous. He had only played a few games now, and the problem was so explosive.
If you keep playing...
Can you handle it yourself?
While he was thinking wildly, the playing cards were dealt to Lin Shen again.
Before he could open it, the phone rang.
Lin Shen answered the phone almost in a panic.
Just now, I had such a private thought in front of a few classmates, and now I received a call from my brother.
He is a little guilty.
"Shen Shen, aren't you coming back?" Lin Yuan's voice sounded like spring breeze no matter what time it was, "Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come back for supper."
He chuckled and reminded Lin Shen: "Although I know you and your classmates must have had a good time, today is family day. Mom has asked you several times."
"Yeah." Lin Shen nodded quickly, "I'll be right back."
He hung up the phone and looked at the other three people apologetically: "My brother told me to go back, my parents are waiting for me, you have fun."
After Lin Shen finished speaking, he didn't even have time to turn over the last card, stood up and almost ran away.
He still had the heat left on his face.
It wasn't until the cool night wind was blowing on his face that he felt his heartbeat gradually slow down.
After Lin Shen left.
Mo Juecheng reached out and flipped over the card in front of him.
This time, Lin Shen actually got the smallest square A in the audience.
"It's a pity, boss..." Tao Ran smiled unfathomably.
He reached out to grab the Mojue City card and flipped it over.
2 of spades, the second lowest from the bottom.
"Originally this time, Lin Shen couldn't escape the big adventure." Tao Ran smiled, "Princess hug, kiss... are you looking forward to it?"
"Hehe." Mo Juecheng bent his lips.
Without one person, the game would be meaningless to continue.
He stood up and walked towards the other side of the game room, sat down in front of the independent game console, and greeted Xu Chen, "Come to play a game?"
"Boss." Tao Ran followed.
He lay behind Mo Juecheng and asked him, "What do you think about that Lin Shen?"
Tao Ran is definitely the most gossip among them: "It is basically confirmed now that Lin Shen likes you very much, what about you?"
"I think he's quite interesting." Mo Juecheng replied casually.
"Cut..." Tao Ran couldn't help but said, "I think he's interesting, so it's bullfighting again, and I even memorized the example set for him, and now I'm still following him to family gatherings. Boss, you have changed! You It wasn't like this before!"
"Hehe." Mo Juecheng laughed again.
He had already focused on the TV screen and stopped answering Tao Ran's questions.
"Unfortunately..." Xu Chen, who had been silent all this time, sat down on another sofa.
He picked up the handle and pushed his glasses: "If Lin Shen didn't rush to leave just now, the boss can say goodbye to his first kiss today. To be honest, I am looking forward to it. I just don't know if Lin Shen's first kiss is still there."
Mo Juecheng's face darkened instantly.
"Hahahaha." Tao Ran laughed wildly, "Tell me, if classmate Lin Shen kisses the eldest, and finds out that he is a real rookie in this field, with zero kissing skills, will he be disappointed or happy?"
Mo Juecheng's face turned even darker.
While the three were chatting and laughing, Lin Shen had already returned to the Lin family to book a villa.
Chu Rong personally brought her two sons and husband, and set up an iron barbecue grill in the corner of the villa garden.
The hotel butler sent skewered skewers and fresh juice.
When Lin Shen arrived, the scent had already permeated the garden.
Looking at the scene in front of him in full swing, he was really shocked!
In terms of status, his mother Chu Rong is also an absolute lady.
At this time, Chu Rong was wearing a simple dark gray sweater, jeans, and white sneakers.
The curly hair, which was permed into big waves, was randomly tied into a high ponytail, tied behind her head, and swayed with her movements.
Their father, Lin Shuxing, the president of the Lin Group, looks solemn and dignified.
He and Chu Rong were wearing couple sweaters.
Also casual dark blue jeans, sneakers.
With his sleeves rolled up to his arms, he was smiling and standing aside serving his wife.
Lin Yuan and Lin Che naturally wore the same dark gray sweater and jeans.
Hearing Lin Shen's footsteps, Chu Rong raised his eyes and looked over: "Xiao Shen is back, come quickly!"
She smiled brightly: "Your brother said that you will be back soon, and mother specially left chicken wings for you."
As she spoke, she extended her arms and handed Lin Shen the chicken wings that had been grilled golden.
"Thank you, Mom." Lin Shen took the chicken wings.
The chicken wings are grilled just right, and the chicken skin is slightly browned, looking oily and shiny, which makes people particularly appetizing.
"Xiao Shen." Before Lin Shen had time to take a bite of the chicken wing, a white porcelain plate was stretched out in front of him.
Topped with a bunch of shiitake mushrooms and a bunch of pork ribs.
Lin Shuxing smiled and said to him, "These are for you."
"Uh..." Lin Shen stared blankly at Lin Shuxing.
The other party's sleeves were rolled up on his elbows, and he smiled casually and gently.
"Thank you, Dad." Lin Shen took the plate.
"Brother!" Lin Che simply put her arms on his shoulders.
"Have half of the corn for you." He really took half of the corn from the iron skewer in his hand and put it on Lin Shen's plate. "I roasted it just now, and the temperature is just right for eating now. It's delicious! Try it."
"...Thank you, Xiao Che." Lin Shen looked at the half corn on the plate.
To be honest, it was slightly overcooked, and a few rows of corn kernels looked a little charred and blackened.
But the alluring aroma of roasted corn lingered, Lin Shen only felt that he had never smelled such a good smell in his life.
"Hey! Brother!" Seeing Lin Shen staring at the corn, Lin Che quickly said, "This... seems a little burnt."
Lin Che said a little embarrassedly: "I'll bake another one for you."
"No need." Lin smiled deeply.
He picked up half a corn and took a big bite with his mouth wide open.
"Just right!" Lin Shen didn't care about table manners anymore.
Anyway, it's just a BBQ snack, isn't it?
With the delicious corn kernels in his mouth, he smiled at Lin Che and said, "It's super delicious!"
As Lin Shen spoke, he held the half corn like this.
As if he was very hungry, he started to eat with big mouthfuls.
He eats very fast.
Because his nose is a little sore.
Not only the nose is a little sore, but even the eyes are a little hot and swollen.
It seems that as long as you stop, tears will fall uncontrollably.
Lin Shen wanted to laugh a little.
If I play Truth or Dare again, I will cry again the last time.
Then he might say, um, while eating the corn roasted by his younger brother, he also held the shiitake mushrooms and chicken wing ribs roasted by his parents.
So I cried.
Lin Yuan, who had been quietly baking something, watched the interaction between the two younger brothers, and shook his head slightly with a smile.
"Shen Shen." Seeing Lin Shen eating the corn in a few mouthfuls, Lin Yuan called him, "Come here and roast together."
"Okay." Lin Shen walked to the elder brother as he said.
The other party made room for him by the grill.
In fact, it is said to be roasted, but it is just watching the fire and turning it occasionally.
Lin Yuan stood side by side with him, looked at the food on the grill, and asked in a low voice, "Did you have fun with your classmates?"
"En." Lin Shen nodded.
"That's good." Lin Yuan still smiled gently.
Lin Shen was holding the plate in one hand while gnawing on the chicken wings.
"How are you preparing for next week's competition?" Lin Yuan asked again.
"It's okay." Lin Shen vaguely agreed.
Lin Yuan seemed to want to say something else, but Chu Rong, who was happily roasting chicken wings, suddenly turned his head.
"Xiao Yuan!" Chu Rong's beautiful eyes rolled, a small dimple appeared on her cheeks, "Family Day, don't talk about work and study, you will be punished!"
"Yes yes yes!" Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and shrugged, "I was wrong."
"Xiao Shen, come here!" Chu Rong said, handing over a bunch of roasted peppers, "Super Invincible Overlord Pepper, feed your brother! Punish him!"
"Hahahaha." Lin Shen couldn't help laughing and took the pepper.
He really hasn't been this relaxed and happy for a long, long time.
"Shen Shen, don't!" Lin Yuan shrank back and blinked at Lin Shen, "You won't be so cruel to brother?"
"This..." Lin Shen looked at their mother in embarrassment.
"Xiao Shen, come on! Mom makes the decision for you! Don't be afraid of your brother!" Chu Rong cheered him on, "Hmph! House rules, no one can escape!"
"Lin Yuan." Lin Shuxing also laughed, "Acknowledge the punishment."
Lin Shen couldn't help laughing again.
There are several small pieces of green peppers strung on the iron stick.
Although it is baked, it looks like it is showing its teeth and claws, which is indeed a bit scary.
Lin Shen lowered his head and bit one down first.
A little spicy, but actually okay.
"Brother!" Lin Shen brought the chili pepper to Lin Yuan's mouth, "Just be obedient, mom is watching you!"
"Okay, okay!" Lin Yuan took a deep breath and ate the rest in one go
"Oh!" He exaggeratedly sighed, "It's so spicy, so spicy!"
Lin Yuan squinted his eyes triumphantly while talking, and looked at their Chu Rong with a smile and gave two thumbs up: "Hot mom is invincible!"
"Hahahaha." Lin Shen couldn't help laughing again.
The juvenile Qingyue's cheerful laughter echoed over the villa.
He never knew that his laughter and tears were so low.
Until I was full, I washed up and lay down on the bed.
Lin Shen felt that all this was like a dream.
warm home.
A family that is warmer than the warm sun in spring.
Lin Shen hugged the quilt tightly and buried his head deeply inside.
The soft quilt is full of the smell of sunshine.
Just like his mood at the moment.
Lin Shen didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Probably because I was in a good mood and relaxed all over my body and mind.
He slept until nine o'clock the next morning.
"Deep?" As soon as he opened his eyes, Lin Yuan's voice came along with the knock on the door, "Are you awake?"
"Hmm." Lin Shen quickly rolled over and got out of bed.
He quickly changed into the dark gray sweater and jeans of the same series as Chu Rong and the others.
Then he scratched his hair casually, and went to open the door for Lin Yuan.
"Hurry up and wash up, and then go down to have breakfast." His brother was wearing the same sweater as him, standing at the door with a smile.
Lin Yuan should have just exercised, his face was reddish, his hair was slightly sweaty, and he looked particularly energetic: "I'll call Xiao Che, there's still a show today."
"En." Lin Shen nodded.
The rest of the day.
He went to climb the mountain with the Lin family again.
At Chu Rong's request, the whole family went to play Jungle Leap.
All of them, including Lin Shuxing, were wearing safety helmets and leaping through the dense woods and mountain streams.
The laughter and exclamation of the Lin family happily echoed in the mountains.
In the evening, I had a big meal at the hot spring hotel.
At this point, the Lin family's family day is over.
By the time they got back to their home in the city, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
"I'm very happy today!" Chu Rong stretched her waist, "My sons, go to bed early."
Standing on the stairs with her husband, she turned her head and blew kisses to her three sons: "Mom loves you."
"I love you too." Lin Che immediately said, "I love you so much! I love you the most! I love you just like I love my father!"
He said and looked at Lin Yuan and Lin Shen: "It's the same as loving my two brothers, I love you both!"
Back home, Lin Shuxing seemed to have returned to that serious and dignified middle-aged successful man.
Hearing this, he also smiled slightly at his three sons: "Father loves you too, and of course, he loves your mother the most."
"Dad, Mom." Lin Yuan said with a light smile, "I love you, I love my brothers, and I love this family even more."
All four of them had finished speaking, only Lin Shen stood aside silently.
He is totally stupid!
I didn't expect that at the end of the family day, there would be such a scene.
Is it possible to say "love" so freely between family members?
Lin Shen raised his head and looked at the Lin couple who were smiling at him.
Especially Chu Rong, looking at him with warm, loving eyes, full of anticipation.
He turned his head stiffly.
His older brother and younger brother also looked at him with smiles.
Lin Yuan's eyes were still so gentle.
His younger brother, the sunny boy Lin Che, had even more clear eyes.
Lin Shen: "..."
He opened his mouth, and something seemed to block his throat.
He was as heavy and astringent as if he had an olive pit in his mouth, yet he couldn't speak a word.
No one was rushing, and no one seemed impatient.
Even Lin Shuxing, who looked the most serious, just stood patiently on the stairs and waited.
"I……"
It seems like a long time, or just a moment.
Lin Shen finally opened his mouth again, and said hoarsely, "I love you too..."
Many things, in fact, the most difficult is to take the first step.
After the most difficult first sentence was uttered, the stuff that was stuck in Lin Shen's throat seemed to disappear instantly.
He let out his breath slowly, raised his eyes, and looked at Chu Rong: "I love Mom and Dad."
Then he turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, then at Lin Che: "I love my brother and brother too."
Lin Shen wanted to cry, but he blinked quickly.
Blinked away those tears: "And... I love this home so much!"
"Mom also loves Xiaoshen so much!" Chu Rong smiled and kissed Lin Shen again.
"My dear son, go to sleep!"
She thought about it, looked at her husband and two other sons, and said, "Well! Family Day is over! So I can talk."
"Xiaoshen! Come on for the competition!"
"thanks Mom……"
Lin Shen replied in a low voice.
He didn't dare to stay any longer.
He was worried that if he stayed here any longer, he would really cry.
In fact, he is really not a crying child.
From a very young age, Lin Shen was educated to understand that tears are the most useless thing, except to show his weakness!
And obviously this should be a home that makes people feel warm and happy.
But his nose was sore again and again, and his eye sockets were always hot.
As a result, Lin Shen seemed to be floating in the clouds for the rest of the weekend.
In a trance, Monday came.
In the new week, there will be a preliminary round of the four-subject competition in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
Monday to Friday, every other day.
The final bio is next Sunday afternoon.
Lin Shen went out very early.
Before Lin Che got up, he had already left the door in the early morning light.
There is no way, Mo Juecheng called half an hour ago to wake him up, and asked him to wait for him in the street garden not far from the school gate.
The phone call was mysterious, and Lin Shen didn't know what the other party was trying to trick.
He rode a mountain bike and rode quickly towards the place agreed with Mojue City.
Because it was too early, there were still few people on the street, and even the shops on both sides were hardly open.
Lin Shen's home is not far from the school.
He rode through a few streets, and he turned two more turns, and he was about to reach the garden agreed with Mojue City.
At this moment, the roar of motorcycle engines suddenly came from behind Lin Shen.
The sound was particularly loud, and it seemed particularly harsh on such a quiet city street in the morning.
Hearing that the voice was not far away from him, Lin Shen subconsciously leaned the mountain bike towards the side of the road.
Sure enough, just as he got out of the way, two motorcycles whizzed past him.
There are two people in each car.
After they passed by Lin Shen, they did not move forward.
The motorcycle suddenly turned around and made a small circle, and the two stopped in front of Lin Shen together.
Lin Shen suddenly became vigilant.
The street he was passing through was not too wide, and there were high walls of the community on both sides.
There are no doors and no shops in this street.
It was still too early at this time, and the location of Xingshang Academy was not a downtown area.
At this time, almost no one will pass by here.
After the two motorcycles turned around, they were completely horizontal in the middle of the road, completely blocking Lin Shen's road ahead.
Lin Shen subconsciously turned around.
Behind him, the same two motorcycles stopped and crossed the middle of the road, blocking his escape route together.
There were also four people in those two cars.
So add up before and after, a total of eight people.
Lin Shen glanced around in a hurry.
Although those eight people were all riding on the car, they definitely didn't look weak.
Even if the opponent is a weak chicken, he himself is not much better.
A pair of eight, definitely a complete defeat!
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Shen's mind.
kidnapping?
blackmail?
Or... is it related to restoring the secret of the Lord himself?
Lin Shen managed to keep himself calm.
He turned his head and looked at the two cars blocking in front of him.
"Who are you?" He asked calmly, "Is there anything you can do for me?"
The motorcycle rider on the left who was blocking the front seemed to chuckle: "You don't need to know who we are."
As he spoke, he took a step with his long legs and got out of the car with another person in his car.
People on several other motorcycles also got off.
Eight people!
Eight young men who looked taller and stronger than Lin Shen, wearing motorcycle suits and helmets, surrounded Lin Shen like this.
Lin Shen's palms holding the handlebars were already covered with sweat.
Are these people asking for money?
still is……
"Hey!" The rider who spoke at the beginning was already standing in front of Lin Shen, "You should know who you have offended."
He said: "Someone asked me to interrupt your right hand. Don't worry, it won't really interrupt, just make you unable to write for a while."
As he spoke, he walked towards Lin Shen: "If you cooperate obediently, brother, try to be as gentle as possible."
"Wait...wait a minute!" Lin Shen looked around.
The eight people completely blocked themselves in the middle, and he was absolutely impossible to be their opponent.
If you want to run, you probably won't be able to.
Break your right hand?
Make yourself unable to write? !
Lu Miaomiao!
Lin Shen wanted to curse!
Lu Miaomiao really didn't have any idea of fair competition.
He was careless!
He should have thought that Lu Miaomiao was not a good stubble in the first place!
"How much did she give you?" Lin took a deep breath and said generously, "I'll pay you three times!"
He said: "As long as you are willing to let me go."
Those people looked at each other and stopped in their tracks.
Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
If you are willing to ask for money, it will be easy to handle.
Unexpectedly, the eight people suddenly laughed out loud.
They laughed for a few seconds, and the person who spoke at the beginning said: "Boy! We can't be bought with money. Just obediently admit it!"
After he finished speaking, he motioned to several other people, wanting them to hold Lin Shen down.
At this moment, there were several more rapid and harsh brake sounds from both sides of the narrow street.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the car door opening quickly.
The dense footsteps rushed towards them before Lin Shen could react.
Then Lin Shen stared helplessly at a large group of people...
He visually estimated that there were at least twenty of them, and tall men in black suits rushed towards them.
No... no way!
Lin Shen was a little desperate!
The men in suits looked tall and straight, with expressionless faces and utterly ruthless.
In order to deal with him, Lu Miaomiao even dispatched two groups of people to create such a big battle.
She really, really thinks highly of herself!
