Like you in the sun

Standing outside the Chen Group, An Xin looked up at the extravagant, towering building, and couldn't help but sigh. She also understood why Li Xiang was reluctant to fall in love. She said slowly, "How many people have dreamed of this!"

Lin Fanyin walked into the office and saw Meng Yu and An Xin. She said happily, "Sister Meng Yu, Brother An Xin."

An Xin was speechless when she saw Lin Fanyin's thin and haggard appearance. After a moment, she said, "Yinyin, long time no see."

Lin Fanyin: "Brother An Xin, long time no see."

While we were chatting, Li Xiang's shadow kept lingering in my mind. I wanted to ask him several times but held it back.

I want to know everything about Li Xiang, but I am afraid to know everything about Li Xiang, because everything no longer belongs to me!

I am even more afraid of hearing news that I cannot accept.

Chen Yang grabbed Lin Fanyin's hand and held it in his palm, his gentle eyes silently comforting her.

The seemingly casual question was actually to satisfy Lin Fanyin's hesitation. "Officer An, is everything going well after being transferred to the traffic police team?"

An Xin: "As always, everything is the same as always."

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Yang: "Come in."

Lin Fanyin: “Dad.”

Lin Yijun replied with a smile on his face: "Yeah."

An Xin asked doubtfully, "Dad?"

Lin Fanyin: "My real father. He just looks younger~"

"Dad, this is Brother An Xin and Sister Meng Yu, my friends in Jinghai."

An Xin extended her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yijun shook hands and replied, "Hello."

During the subsequent conversation, he raised his hand to tidy up the somewhat messy hair of his daughter who was lying on him.

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I thought I would be too busy to go home today."

Lin Yijun: "Dad promised my baby Yinyin this morning, and he can't break his promise even if he's busy."

Lin Fanyin: "Then I will join the army after I graduate, and then I can help Dad."

Lin Yijun: "Then you can't help Dad."

Lin Fanyin: "Hey! Dad, you actually underestimated me!"

Lin Yijun smiled fondly and replied, "No. That's not what Dad meant. How can you join the army if you can't even pass a physical examination after having heart surgery?"

"Okay. It's getting late. Dad will take you to grandpa's place."

Lin Xuejian, who was still working after work, was extremely happy to see his son and granddaughter coming and said, "Junjun, you are back. It's good to be back. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Lin Yijun: "I finished my work early today, so I brought Yinyin back to see you."

Lin Xuejian: "If you had told Dad that you were back earlier, Dad would have been happy the moment he heard the news."

Lin Fanyin: "Then I must tell Grandpa in advance next time."

Lin Xuejian: "Good boy, you are so obedient. Are you hungry? Grandpa will cook whatever you want to eat."

Lin Yijun: "Dad, let me do it. My mom is still in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, isn't she?"

Lin Xuejian: "It will take some time."

I walked into another room and took out a bunch of snacks, which I had specially selected. I didn't know the types and flavors of the snacks, so I just took what other kids took in the supermarket.

He placed it in front of Lin Fanyin and said, "Be good, eat it."

Lin Yijun came out with the meal and took the ice cream from his daughter's hand, asking, "Didn't I tell you not to eat cold food? Why are you so disobedient?"

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I just opened it and wanted to take a bite."

Lin Yijun: “Yinyin!”

Lin Xuejian: "If you want to eat, just let it go."

Lin Yijun: "Dad, Yinyin hasn't recovered yet."

"Don't buy snacks for Yinyin anymore."

On the table, although it is just a simple home-cooked meal, it is so delicious and warm amidst the laughter and joy. It proves that the atmosphere of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people.

After dinner, Lin Fanyin snuggled in Lin Yijun's arms and watched TV series, always drinking water.

Lin Yijun: "You must be thirsty now after eating all those snacks. Don't eat them anymore, okay?"

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I understand."

I watched the TV show and cried so much because of empathy.

Lin Yijun wiped the tears from her daughter's face and said softly, "My baby, these are all fake. Okay, okay, don't cry."

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

Lin Yijun gently stroked her daughter's face as she was coaxing her to sleep in his arms, and she felt so warm in her heart.

He said softly, "Dad, I feel like I really missed a lot."

Lin Xuejian: "Ayang has really paid too much! She is a child from a divorced family and neither you nor her mother is around, yet she still has such a good personality now."

Lin Yijun: "I am very grateful to Ayang. He really gave everything to my daughter."

After checking the time, he said, "Dad, go to bed early."

Having said that, he picked up his daughter and went back to the bedroom.

When he came out and saw Lin Xuejian still writing at his desk, he asked, "Dad, aren't you going to take a break?"

Lin Xuejian: "I went to sleep after finishing this material."

Lin Yijun: "Dad, you have to take care of your health! You are old now."

Lin Xuejian: "Yes. Junjun, take a rest."

A ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the room. Lin Fanyin woke up but her heart was not at peace as she was burdened by longing.

Lying on the bed and grabbing the sunlight with her hands, her snow-white and jade-like hands appear even whiter and more translucent.

He picked up the phone and called An Xin.

When An Xin saw the call from Lin Fanyin, she was somewhat happy but also seemed to have expected it. After answering the call, she said, "Hello, Yinyin."

Lin Fanyin: "Brother An Xin, I want to see you."

An Xin: "When?"

Lin Fanyin: "Brother An Xin, when are you free?"

An Xin: "Yinyin, you decide the time. I'm available anytime."

Lin Fanyin: "Then let's do it at noon after school."

An Xin: "Okay, I'll go to University A to find you."

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

When I got up and washed up, I saw toothpaste squeezed on my toothbrush, a warm wet towel, and Lin Yijun preparing breakfast. I started to hesitate again.

Lin Yijun handed the warm water to her daughter and said, "It's the perfect temperature, drink it."

Seeing that her daughter put down her chopsticks after taking only a few bites of breakfast, she asked, "Yinyin, why are you eating so little? Eat more and be obedient."

Lin Fanyin didn't want to disobey Lin Yijun's constraints on her, but she really missed Li Xiang.

She threw herself into Lin Yijun's arms, remaining silent.

Lin Yijun touched his daughter's forehead and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Fanyin shook her head and replied, "Dad, I didn't."

"Dad, if I don't listen to you, you will be sad, right?"

Lin Yijun gently kissed her daughter's forehead and replied softly, "No! My little sweetheart, don't eat it if you don't want to."

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I made an appointment with Brother An Xin at noon."

Lin Yijun: “Yeah.”

He continued to eat breakfast while hugging his daughter, as if he did not understand what she meant by this sentence at all.
