"Grandpa, grandma, mom, and dad, why didn't you wake me up? I made you wait here for me. Otherwise, you could have eaten first!" Lin Xi felt very sorry and sat down awkwardly.

"It was me who told them not to call them. You were so tired after taking the train, so of course I had to let you have a good rest. How was it? Did you sleep well?" Old Master Lin looked at Lin Xi with a smile. Only he knew that he was actually looking at her, trying to find any traces of surgery on Lin Xi's face.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I slept very well. Look, my face is so swollen." Lin Xi didn't expect that her face would swell up just by changing her sleeping place, so she pinched her slightly swollen face with her hands.

"Your face always gets swollen when you sleep, so eat quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold." After saying this, Grandpa Lin started eating first, and the others also picked up their chopsticks.

When no one was looking, Mr. Lin quickly gave Lin Jue a look, indicating that he could start.

After receiving what Grandpa Lin meant, Lin Jue suddenly came up with an idea. He used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of celery for Lin Xi, "Little sister, you like this the most. Eat it quickly."

When Lin Jue said this, he looked like a big bad wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood, but it was precisely because of his words that he attracted the attention of everyone in the Lin family.

"Brother, are you getting senile? My little sister doesn't eat celery at all. She thinks it smells bad..." As Lin Ji said this, he took away all the celery that Lin Jue had put in Lin Xi's bowl.

"Brother is so mean. He knew I didn't want to eat it, but he still picked it up for me on purpose. What a bad guy!" Before Lin Xi could react, Lin Ji had picked up all the celery, which made her secretly relieved.

"Little sister, I'm sorry! Big brother indeed remembered it wrong. If you don't want to eat celery, then eat this black fungus! Black fungus is crispy and delicious." Lin Jue continued to pick up the dishes!

"Brother, are you sure you are not kidding? My little sister is allergic to black fungus, do you want to kill her? How can you be a big brother like this?" Lin Xi picked up the black fungus with chopsticks, and just when he put it into his mouth, he heard Lin Ji's dissatisfied accusation, so he quickly turned the chopsticks and put the black fungus into Lin Jue's bowl.

"Brother, you are so mean! I don't want to care about you anymore."

It was a close call, it almost went into its mouth. Only then did Lin Xi remember that the original owner was indeed allergic to black fungus, but she loved eating it and would eat a lot of it every time it was fried.

Lin Jue repeatedly gave her dishes that the original owner didn't want to eat. Lin Xi could tell that he was testing her and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She was almost exposed!

The Lin family members all looked at Lin Jue with displeasure, and so did Grandpa Lin, because he felt that his grandson, who was usually smart and wise, had become stupid, and actually used the same trick over and over again! It really disappointed him...

Lin Jue thought that if he failed the first time and the second time, he would still have a third chance! But every time he wanted to pick up some food for Lin Xi, he was glared at and blocked by everyone except Mr. Lin, so he had to stop his attempts on Lin Xi.

But because he repeatedly picked up food for himself, Lin Xi became more certain of Lin Jue's intention!

After that, Lin Xi avoided talking at the dinner table if possible. Even if someone else picked up food for her, she would carefully recall the original owner's eating habits. Fortunately, she was not noticed to be doing anything unusual until everyone was full.

"Then I'll go take a shower and go to bed. Taking the train is really tiring." Lin Xi made up an excuse to leave here and go back to the room as soon as possible.

"Don't you want to eat some fruit?" Father Lin wanted to say a few more words to his daughter! But after seeing Lin Xi yawning frequently, he couldn't bear it after all.

"Dad, I don't want to eat anymore. I'm so full." Lin Xi touched his stomach again.

"Well then! Have a good rest and go shopping for New Year's items with your brother tomorrow. You used to love going there."

"Okay, then I'll go with my eldest brother and the others tomorrow." In Lin Xi's memory, the original owner really liked to go shopping for New Year's goods with them, and she especially liked to pester her brothers to buy things for her.

Just like that, under the gazes of Grandpa Lin and Lin Jue, Lin Xi turned around and went back to her room.

After she entered the room, Lin Jue was called into the study by Old Master Lin again. There was no doubt that Lin Jue was given countless cold stares by Old Master Lin this time.

Lin Xi didn't know all this. At the moment, she was sitting on the bed trying her best to recall everything about the original owner. She didn't lie down to sleep until everyone in the Lin family had fallen asleep.

The next morning, Lin Xi got up early. After having breakfast, Lin Xi went out with Lin Jue and his brothers because they were going to buy New Year's goods.

There are only two days left until the Chinese New Year. Before that, they have to prepare the things they will need for the New Year and the New Year's goods for visiting relatives and friends.

"Brother, are we going to the supply and marketing cooperative now?" Lin Xi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked at Lin Jue who was driving.

Before Lin Jue could speak, Lin Hua and Lin Qi, who were sitting in the back row, all spoke up, "Little sister, let's go to the department store first. Have you forgotten? You always insisted on going to the department store first, saying that the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have anything to sell!"

"Oh, now I remember. That's right. I just forgot about it." Lin Xi smiled awkwardly. She felt so sorry. Why did she ask such a stupid question? She was almost exposed...

Did you really not remember it? Lin Jue thought of what his grandfather had asked him yesterday and looked at Lin Xi with an inquiring look.

Lin Xi felt Lin Jue's gaze on her, but she didn't dare to turn around and look at him!

"Haha, that's nothing!"

"Brother, stop looking at me all the time, just drive your car carefully...it will be the same when you look at me again when we get home!" Lin Ji couldn't help but speak up when he saw that his brother was always looking at Lin Xi!

"Haha, let alone the eldest brother, I always think about looking at my little sister. I can't feel enough looking at her!" Lin Hua blurted out, speaking out what was in his heart.

"Me too." Lin Xi's third brother Lin Qi also raised his hand silently. The fact that he didn't say anything didn't mean he didn't think so.

After hearing his brothers say this, Lin Jue withdrew his gaze and drove with peace of mind.

Lin Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the oppressive gaze was gone. If he continued to look at it, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist wanting to change his sitting position.

Later on the way to the department store, Lin Xi and Lin Jue never spoke to each other. Instead, Lin Hua and his brothers chattered non-stop. When they asked Lin Xi, she would occasionally respond.

The car drove for less than ten minutes before it stopped in front of a tall building. Lin Ji said excitedly, "Little sister, get out of the car quickly. Fourth brother will take you to buy things. Don't worry, Fourth brother has money!"

Lin Hua and Lin Qi were not to be outdone, "Little sister, we have money too, we will buy you delicious food and beautiful clothes."

"Thank you, second brother, third brother, fourth brother."

"You guys go in first, I'll park the car!" Lin Jue said lightly.

"Brother, let's take my sister in first. Come find us as soon as you park the car!" After Lin Ji finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Jue to speak. He smiled and pulled Lin Xi into the department store. Lin Hua and Lin Qi quickly followed.

Seeing Lin Xi and the others enter the department store, Lin Jue drove to the parking lot.

"Little sister, take a look at this coat. It will look great on you." Lin Ji excitedly pulled Lin Xi into a clothing store. When he saw the signature clothes at the door, he gestured and wanted Lin Xi to put them on immediately.

Lin Xi took a look and was not very interested. It was just a woolen coat, nothing special. Compared with the woolen coats of later generations, the material of this one could only be considered mediocre and not the type she liked at all.

But this dress is considered very fashionable in this era, maybe she bought it in Guangzhou! But she doesn't like it at all...

"Fourth brother, you don't have to buy me clothes. I have so many clothes that I can't wear them all. Don't waste your money."

But to Lin Ji and his brothers, Lin Xi's words seemed to be about helping them save money, so they immediately said that they had money and didn't need to save money for them.

"Little sister, I have money with me. If you don't believe me, look at this..." Lin Ji was afraid that Lin Xi wouldn't believe that he really had money, so he deliberately patted his pockets and even opened a gap to let Lin Xi look inside.

Lin Xi suppressed her laughter and really leaned over. After seeing that Lin Ji indeed had a large stack of big unity bills in his pocket, Lin Xi laughed exaggeratedly, "Fourth brother, you have so much money!"

"These are what I saved to buy you beautiful clothes. Girls should dress beautifully." After being praised, Lin Ji's face was full of smiles, and he wanted to buy clothes for Lin Xi even more.

"But I don't like the style of this dress!" Lin Xi said bluntly.

Her words happened to be heard by Lin Jue who came to look for them. He raised his eyelids to take a look at the coat that Lin Ji mentioned, then turned to look at Lin Xi, "Little sister, you liked this style of clothes the most before you went to the countryside. Why don't you like it suddenly?"

"Yes! You always pulled us over to buy you clothes before. I saved so much money and brought you here to buy clothes. How can you just say no?" Lin Ji felt very lost, as if he had suddenly lost his value.

"Don't worry, if the fourth brother doesn't have enough money, I have money as the eldest brother, you can buy it if you want." Lin Jue suddenly interrupted after Lin Ji finished speaking!

"Brother, I really don't like it. You don't have to buy it for me. I don't like this style now. When I see something I like, I will tell you and you can buy them all for me." After Lin Xi finished speaking, she walked out of the store without looking back. She was really afraid that they would force her to buy it!

"Xiao Xi, you really don't want to buy it. You used to like this kind of coat the most." Lin would never give up and immediately chased after her, trying to get some information out of Lin Xi!

"Brother, I really don't like this style of clothes now." Lin Xi stopped and said very seriously. She knew that maybe this was another test of her by Lin Jue.

"Why? It hasn't been long since you went to the countryside! Why do you suddenly dislike it?" Lin Jue didn't get the answer he wanted, so he continued to ask until he got to the bottom of it.

"Maybe it's because I have a girlfriend! Brother, you don't understand girls' psychology, you have to be careful! Be careful that Chu Ran will get angry with you if you are not careful." Lin Xi looked at Lin Jue with a smile, and there was some threat in his words.

Sure enough, when Lin Jue heard Lin Xi mention Chu Ran, he stopped asking, because he was afraid that Lin Xi was secretly making things difficult for him behind his back!

Seeing that Lin Jue no longer pressed her for questions, Lin Xi went shopping in the department store in a happy mood. Lin Hua and the other two followed closely, leaving Lin Jue alone behind with a sad face.

"Little sister, do you like this? If you like it, I'll buy it for you."

"Little sister, this, this, this looks good too. Can I buy it for you?"

"Little sister, just tell me what you want to buy, and I will buy it all for you."

When Lin Xi was walking in front, Lin Hua and the others were chattering non-stop in her ears, rushing to buy her everything they saw. Lin Jue, who was standing behind, couldn't get a word in!

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, let's buy the New Year's goods first! It won't be too late to buy me things after we finish buying them..." In fact, this was just Lin Xi's delaying tactic. He thought that after they got tired of shopping, they would naturally no longer want to accompany him shopping.
