half thorns, half joy

Cai Lin stared blankly at Cai Jinyu, thinking that Cai Jinyu had heard what she just said, and forgot to get under the quilt for a moment.

When she realized it, Cai Jinyu had already grabbed her wrist.

"Linlin, I'm sorry, my brother misunderstood you." Cai Jinyu's voice was full of regret, "Brother shouldn't treat you like that, brother apologizes to you."

Suddenly, Cai Lin's eyes turned red again.

She lowered her head and let out a hum from her throat.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan got up calmly and stood aside, giving Cai Jinyu her seat.Cai Jinyu sat down and fondled the top of Cai Lin's head.

"Linlin, forgive brother for being reckless, okay?"

Cai Lin nodded.

Only then did Cai Jinyu heave a sigh of relief, and smiled in relief, repeating, "That's good, that's good."

"Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made you worry so much by hiding it from you." After getting her brother's apology, Cai Lin also apologized to her brother.

It's just that Cai Jinyu was really embarrassed to accept this apology.

He sighed with self-blame, "It's not your fault, it's me. If I had the ability to crush Deng Langyue, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, and you wouldn't have to take care of him for me."

"I..." Cai Lin didn't know how to answer, she looked at Tang Xuan helplessly.

Tang Xuan received Cai Lin's message, and interjected to Cai Jinyu, "Jinyu, I heard Linlin's narration, and I feel that Deng Langyue is not really that bad. Maybe we are all too prejudiced against him."

Cai Jinyu turned her head to look at Tang Xuan, her expression darkened.

"Jinyu." Tang Xuan bent her knees and touched Cai Jinyu's back.

"..." Cai Jinyu understood that Tang Xuan was telling him to shut up, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Tang Xuan was afraid that the calm atmosphere would be spoiled again, so she changed the subject and asked Cai Lin, "Linlin, you haven't eaten much this morning, so why don't you get up and eat something first."

As she spoke, she stepped forward to help Cai Lin get up.

After sending Cai Lin into the bathroom, Tang Xuan lowered her voice and said to Cai Jinyu, "Don't tell her what's wrong with Deng Langyue. The two of them are friends now. If you say that, Linlin must be unhappy again."

Cai Jinyu snapped, "What kind of friends, with people like Deng Langyue, what's there to be friends with?"

"Jinyu, it's your prejudice to say such things. In my impression, you are the last person who doesn't know how to order food, but only looks at the surface. Why do you dislike Deng Langyue so much?"

Being criticized by Cai Lin, Cai Jinyu asked Cai Lin, "Why, are you on Deng Langyue's side now?"

Tang Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course not. I don't know Deng Langyue and I don't know what he looks like. How could I stand by his side?"

Cai Jinyu was dissatisfied, "Then you are so partial to him."

"I'm not partial to him, it's because you have too much opinion on him. Yes, Deng Langyue's style is indeed not very good, and she has hurt Linlin before, but Linlin, as the person involved, has come out and looked at Deng Lang with new eyes. It's been a month, no matter how angry you are, it's useless, you know?"

Cai Jinyu pursed her lips tightly and did not answer. It was obvious that he still did not agree with Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan had no choice but to tactfully say, "I can understand your concern for Linlin. As an older brother, there is nothing wrong with this concern, but Linlin is already an adult, so you can care. You can't interfere too much, let alone make decisions for her. .”

"Then what if Deng Langyue hurt her again? What should we do then? Who will take the responsibility? Who can guarantee that he is not approaching Linlin now for fun or to get revenge on me?"

"..." Tang Xuan shook her head, "Jinyu, don't think things are so bad, people's emotions can't be hidden, if that's the case, I don't believe Linlin won't be able to see it."

Cai Jinyu nodded, "That's not necessarily true. People like Deng Langyue are too good at disguising. It's easy to deceive Linlin."

Seeing that Cai Jinyu was so paranoid, Tang Xuan couldn't persuade her anymore. She could actually understand Cai Jinyu's thoughts. Cai Jinyu's current behavior was no different from those parents who prevented their children from interacting with outside gangsters.

Essentially, it's all about love.

Tang Xuan just hoped that Cai Jinyu's love would not affect his relationship with Cai Lin, let alone kidnap Cai Lin's future.

Cai Lin changed into her home clothes after washing, and walked out of the bathroom.Although she still looked depressed and her face was haggard, she looked much more energetic than when Tang Xuan came in just now.

"Come on, let's go eat." Cai Jinyu also called Tang Xuan, "Lunch is almost ready, you can stay and have lunch with us."

After being reminded by Cai Jinyu, Tang Xuan raised her hand and looked at the time on her watch, then shook her head, "No, it's getting late, I'm going back, I'm going back to eat with Zihan."

Cai Jinyu knew that Xiao Zihan was alone in the villa, and he was really lonely when eating, so he didn't want to keep him, "That's fine, then you can go back to accompany Zihan."

"it is good."

"Tang Xuan." Cai Jinyu glanced at Cai Lin and said to Tang Xuan, "Thank you for coming here today."

Tang Xuan smiled and waved her hands, "There's nothing to be thankful for. Linlin is also my sister. Seeing her so sad makes me unhappy too. That's fine, I'll go first."

"Wait, I'll see you off."

Cai Lin insisted on sending Tang Xuan off with Cai Jinyu. When they got out of the villa, Xiao Zihan's car and the driver were waiting at the door. The driver opened the door. When Tang Xuan was about to get into the car, she still worriedly told Cai Jinyu.

"Jinyu, don't be too impulsive or anxious. Even if you are really worried about Linlin, you should also consider her feelings, you know."

Being lectured in front of Cai Lin, Cai Jinyu was a little embarrassed, but still nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand."

Cai Lin smiled sweetly, and waved to Tang Xuan with a smile, "Sister Tang Xuan, thank you."

"Eat well and take care of yourself. Come and play when you're free." Tang Xuan also waved her hand and got into the car.

The driver closed the car door, nodded slightly to Cai Jinyu and Cai Lin, walked around to the driver's seat, got in, and started the car.

Watching Tang Xuan's car drive away gradually, Cai Jinyu and Cai Lin returned to the house together until they could no longer see her.

Without Tang Xuan's active atmosphere, the two of them didn't know what to say for a while, and they were silent, preoccupied.

Cai Lin obediently finished a big bowl of porridge, then raised her head, and asked Cai Jinyu in a low voice, "Brother, are you not angry?"

"Of course I'm not angry anymore. I wasn't angry yesterday." Cai Jinyu looked fondly, "This matter is also my fault. I shouldn't be so angry."

"Then...you understand me?"

Cai Jinyu nodded, "Yeah. But I want to say, Linlin, don't make such claims in the future. I'm really worried about you being secretive during this time."

"Sorry……"

"Okay, don't say I'm sorry, look at your swollen eyes, you didn't sleep all night last night." Cai Jinyu pulled Cai Lin to stand up, "Now go up to catch up on sleep and take a good rest. Others Don't think about it any more."

Cai Lin pressed Cai Jinyu's hand, stopped, and said hesitantly, "Brother...I want to go to the hospital."

Cai Jinyu frowned slightly, "Go to the hospital? What are you going to do, see Deng Langyue?"

"……Um."

At that moment, Cai Jinyu was extremely angry, but seeing the uneasy expression on Cai Lin's face, and thinking of Tang Xuan's advice, he could only suppress his anger.

Cai Jinyu thought for a while, and said to Cai Lin: "Your eyes are swollen like this, and you look very bad. Are you sure you want to go?"

"...It seems to be..." Cai Lin touched her face, and said melancholy: "Okay then, I'll go when I'm done, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Hearing what Cai Lin said, Cai Jinyu's raised tone slowly relaxed.

Although listening to Cai Lin's tone, I still want to go in the future, but fortunately, I won't go for the time being. I can take one step at a time and think of other ways later.

In short, he must not let Cai Lin and Deng Langyue get along like before.

He wants to kill that kind of thing in the cradle before the current situation develops to the point of being uncontrollable.

Cai Jinyu followed Cai Lin upstairs, entered Cai Lin's bedroom, watched Cai Lin get into the bed with her own eyes, and helped Cai Lin tuck the quilt again.

"Brother...you don't need to do this." Cai Lin was embarrassed by Cai Jinyu's thoughtfulness.

"This is what my brother should do. Go to sleep, and I will go out when you fall asleep." Cai Jinyu said with a smile.

Seeing Cai Jinyu like this, Cai Lin also felt relieved and closed her eyes.

Cai Jinyu didn't speak any more, his eyes fell on Cai Lin's mobile phone on the bedside table, and he didn't move for a long time.
