half thorns, half joy

When Cai Lin returned to her home and had a video chat with Deng Langyue, she told Deng Langyue about Xiao Yu's escape from prison.

Sure enough, as Tang Xuan expected, Deng Langyue already knew about it.

"Tell me, what's going on in the prison? How can a big living person run away?" Cai Lin sat on the bedside, holding her mobile phone, and complained to Deng Langyue in the video.

Deng Langyue shrugged and said casually: "I don't know, maybe it's been planned for a while."

Cai Lin sighed again, "Actually, I don't really care if Xiao Yu escapes from prison or not. I'm mainly worried about Brother Zihan and Sister Tang Xuan. It's really not easy for them. I don't want them to encounter any more trouble."

Deng Langyue smiled, her smile was as gentle as if she was rubbing Cai Lin's hair through the screen.

"You are just so kind."

Cai Lin was so embarrassed by the praise, two blushes appeared on her face, she scratched her head shyly, and lowered her gaze.

Deng Langyue at the other end of the video looked at Cai Lin with flushed cheeks, her heart skipped a beat.

He is so greedy, he doesn't want to just watch Cai Lin through the screen.

"Do you...do you have time tomorrow?" Deng Langyue asked directly after thinking about it.

Cai Lin raised her head upon hearing the sound, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Then let's go out for a walk?" Deng Langyue quickly thought about the things that men and women can do on a date, and suggested: "Shall we go to the movies?"

"Is your leg better? Do you still need a cane to walk now?" Cai Lin didn't answer, but asked Deng Langyue instead.

Embarrassment flashed across Deng Langyue's eyes, "...Yes."

He also knew that it was very inconvenient for him to do this, and he would not be able to accompany Cai Lin well after going out, and would become Cai Lin's burden instead.

However, he really wanted to see Cai Lin very urgently.

"Then why don't I ask you out after my leg recovers." Deng Langyue smiled coquettishly and pulled herself together, "The doctor said that I'm recovering well, I guess it won't take long!"

Cai Lin was stunned for a moment, she suddenly thought of Tang Xuan and Ke Ke, so she asked Deng Langyue cautiously, "How about I go to your house to play with you?"

Her tone was tentative because she didn't dare to make it too obvious.

After all, her purpose is not pure.

"Come to my house?" Deng Langyue responded without hesitation, "Okay, tomorrow? I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

Such a quick promise made Cai Lin feel a little guilty.

She nodded obediently, "Well, good."

They chatted for a while, until Cai Jinyu knocked on the door to warn Cai Lin to go to bed early, Deng Langyue reluctantly said goodnight to Cai Lin, and hung up the video.

Lying on the bed, Deng Langyue fell asleep happily, with the corners of her mouth turned up.

The next day Deng Langyue woke up early in the morning. He checked the time on his phone and called the nanny into the room loudly.

The nanny hurriedly entered the room, and stood by the bed with her hands down, waiting for Deng Langyue's order.

Deng Langyue ordered without raising her head while buttoning her shirt: "Go tell the kitchen and tell them to cook a few more dishes, not too spicy. Today Cai Lin comes over to have lunch with me."

Hearing this, the nanny hesitated for a moment.

When there was no response, Deng Langyue frowned and looked at the nanny, "What? What's the problem?"

"..." The nanny hesitated to speak, and finally opened her mouth after struggling, "Young master, the master will be back at noon today."

As soon as Deng Langyue's hand that was fastening the buttons loosened her strength, the buttons slipped out immediately.

He actually...

How could you forget such a big thing!
No wonder people say that the IQ of a person in love is zero, he is not zero anymore, he is simply negative!

No wonder the nanny was in such a difficult situation. The main reason was that Deng Li's temper was gentle on the surface, but in reality he was tyrannical and domineering. The family rarely entertained guests. She was worried that Cai Lin's coming to dinner at noon would make Deng Li unhappy.

What the nanny can think of, Deng Langyue can naturally think of.

However, he made an agreement with Cai Lin, and Cai Lin also said that she would teach him to play the latest game when she came over. They even thought of the character name of the game last night.

It would be too uncomfortable if Cai Lin was suddenly told that she couldn't come.

Deng Langyue thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to change her original intention. Cai Lin is a likable girl. He believed that no matter how domineering his uncle was, he would not be able to find fault with Cai Lin.

Mainly, he really didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Cai Lin, let alone miss the appointment.

"Then you should mainly prepare your lunch according to Uncle's taste." Deng Langyue made the next best thing, "Cook another dish, Cai Lin and I can eat whatever we want."

Anyway, Cai Lin is not a particularly picky person, mainly because she avoids eating with her uncle, so it should be fine after all.

"Understood." The master did what he ordered, and the nanny didn't make any further comments, and went down to prepare.

Deng Langyue sat by the bed in a daze for a while before continuing to put on her clothes.

Thinking of his uncle, the smile on his face froze, and his expression became stern.

He seemed to be able to hear the cold wind whistling through the cracks of the bones, filled with hatred and fear.Eerie and cold.

It wasn't until Cai Lin's call came that Deng Langyue felt a little warmer.

"Wait a while, I promise I'll be there in an hour." Cai Lin stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I had a lot of dreams last night, and I slept too deeply, so I didn't wake up this morning."

"Really? What dream did you have?" Deng Langyue asked with great interest.

Cai Lin paused for a moment, and said vaguely, "It's just a dream anyway, a very complicated dream. Well, I won't tell you anymore, I'll clean it up first."

With that said, he hung up the phone hastily.

Deng Langyue originally wanted to ask Cai Lin if she had him in her dream, but hearing Cai Lin's unapologetic tone, Deng Langyue felt a little narcissistic that he must be there.

Otherwise, why is Cai Lin so nervous?
Deng Langyue pinched the phone, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

He was happy for a while, walked to the small yard with a cane, and sat in the place where Cai Lin had sat before.

Last time he fell asleep very ignorantly and left Cai Lin alone for so long. This time, he must not fall asleep again.

Deng Langyue asked the nanny to take out his game console and handle. While he was playing with it, he looked up the gameplay and strategy of the latest game Cai Lin mentioned online.

As a man, he can't play worse than Cai Lin. When the time comes, he will make Cai Lin's eyes shine.

After fiddling with it for a while, Deng Langyue noticed that the nanny entered and exited the small yard behind the side door one after another, as if she had been busy with something.

In the past, Deng Langyue would not care about the nanny doing these things. After all, such a big house needs to be cleaned and tidied up every day.

But now that Deng Langyue knew that there was such a woman in the small courtyard behind the side door, he would inevitably think a lot.

He couldn't help but wonder if the nannies coming in and out so frequently had something to do with the woman in that room?

I'm usually not so diligent. Is it because my uncle is coming back today?

Could it be that the woman was really imprisoned there by her uncle?
What kind of woman is that, and what did she do to make my uncle do such a strange thing without telling everyone?
Could it be that uncle has some kind of shady hobby?
Countless questions flashed through Deng Langyue's mind, he was really curious.

"Young master, Miss Cai is here." Deng Langyue was in a daze when the nanny walked into the yard and reported to him.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Lin also walked in.

"Wow, what are you doing with so many game consoles!" Cai Lin's voice was as cheerful and sunny as ever.

It was like a warm afternoon sun shining on Deng Langyue's cold and damp heart.

No matter what, he couldn't lose this warmth.
