Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Listening to Lin Xi's obvious unreasonable words and her words that were the first to complain, Shen Jingyuan was originally full of helplessness and wanted to interrupt her, but after hearing the rest, he gradually fell silent.

Lin Min.

Shen Jingyuan had never seen the real young master of the Lin family who died young. Everything he knew about him came from other people's fragmented memories and sad nostalgia.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and grew up in everyone's love and expectations. He attended the best schools, wore the best clothes, always had a cheerful and gentle smile on his face, and was polite even to the servants.

The most striking thing about him is his unconditional love for his younger sister Lin Xi.

He would secretly bring her food from street vendors, lie on the ground like a big horse to make her happy, and stand in front of her without hesitation when her parents punished her.

Such a lively and bright person surrounded by love, but because he was dissatisfied with his parents' restrictions, he resolutely went north. In the end, he died young on the battlefield, and even his body was not found. He became the moonlight that everyone is most reluctant to mention, but the most unforgettable in their hearts.

When there are pearls and jade in front of you, it is easy to make those who come after you pale in comparison.

Because of this, since the day he was brought into the Lin Mansion, when he knew that he was chosen only because of his appearance similar to Lin Min, Shen Jingyuan knew that only by showing value that was no less than, or even better than, Lin Min could he avoid becoming a mere shadow in the Lin family.

He succeeded.

When Commander Lin looked at him for the first time with eyes no longer filled with sad nostalgia but with hidden admiration, Shen Jingyuan knew that he had succeeded.

He was sent to the best school and was admitted to the top military academy. With his almost strict self-discipline and excellent qualities, and the support of Commander Lin, he was steadily promoted all the way to his current position.

Shen Jingyuan originally thought that with his years of hard work, he had already gotten rid of Lin Min's shadow.

Lin Min is cheerful and gentle, a warm sunshine that everyone loves. However, he did the opposite and ground himself into a piece of ice.

Lin Minkong has a passion for serving his country, but due to his youth he is impulsive and lacks strategy. He studies military tactics diligently, striving to become the anchor who can stabilize the battlefield situation and control the overall situation.

Especially after he became an adult, his facial features gradually matured, losing the immaturity and blurriness of his youth. His appearance was originally 70% similar to Lin Min, but now, looking closely, only 30% of the similarities are left.

When people mentioned him, they praised him as "Staff Officer Shen" and "Adjutant Shen" instead of comparing him with the deceased Lin Min.

He was almost certain that he was no longer anyone's shadow. In fact, at certain moments when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would have some secret thoughts that he could not tell others. Even if Lin Min was alive and had grown up to this day, he would not necessarily be inferior to him, and might even be slightly better.

But at this moment, Lin Xi's tearful words were like a tiny ice needle, easily piercing his self-esteem that he had painstakingly maintained for many years and which now seemed a little ridiculous.

The living can never compare to the dead. At least in the case of Lin Xi, he can never compare to Lin Min, the competent brother.

Death froze Lin Min forever at the most perfect age, and all his "differences" and "comparisons", in Lin Xi's eyes, perhaps just happened to prove the prophecy that she cried out when they first met: "He is not her brother."

"My brother is so afraid of the cold. Every year, before the snow starts to fall in Shanghai, he wraps himself up like a dumpling. I heard that the north is frozen for thousands of miles in winter. How cold must he be there alone..."

Outside the window, Lin Xi, with red eyes, was still muttering in a low voice about the past with Lin Min. Inside the window, Shen Jingyuan was twisting a curled petal with his fingertips, lowering his eyelids to hide the gloom in his eyes.

After a long time, Lin Xi finally recovered from her sadness and looked at Shen Jingyuan opposite her. Only then did she realize that the man had his head lowered, as if he had not heard what she said at all. She couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Shen Jingyuan? What's wrong with you?" Lin Xi sniffed and muttered a little dissatisfiedly, "Are you listening to me?"

"Yeah." Shen Jingyuan calmly released the petals that were crushed to pieces by his fingertips, responded softly, and then raised his head and looked at Lin Xi calmly, "Go back."

"Ah?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of his words. Then she quickly realized what he meant, frowned her delicate eyebrows, and refused, "I'm not going back. I finally..."

"When I come back this time, I will take you to the north to find your...brother." Shen Jingyuan spoke, interrupting Lin Xi, and his low tone carried a hint of loneliness that he himself did not even notice.

"Really?!" Lin Xi seemed not to notice his strange mood at all. Her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that. She couldn't help but take a step forward, holding on to the windowsill, looking at Shen Jingyuan with bright eyes.

"Yeah." Shen Jingyuan avoided her gaze and fell on the top of her head, where a pink and white petal was lying, swaying slightly with her movements.

"Lying will make your nose bigger!" After receiving a positive answer, Lin Xi couldn't wait to speak, his tone full of excitement.

But in just a moment, she seemed to remember something and quickly became listless. She curled her lips and said, "Grandpa and grandma will definitely not agree. Besides, you don't know when you will be back..."

"I never make promises easily." Shen Jingyuan looked at Lin Xi. After all, he couldn't help but raised his hand to take off the petal on her head and held it in his palm. "I promised you, and I won't break my promise."

Seeing him raise his hand, Lin Xi subconsciously wanted to hide, but when she raised her eyes, she unexpectedly met Shen Jingyuan's calm eyes. She couldn't help but pause, and stood there in a daze, letting Shen Jingyuan's hand brush across her head.

"Then, then this lady will just reluctantly believe you this time." After a while, Lin Xi seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, took a big step back, and spoke hesitantly.

"Okay." Shen Jingyuan, who had already turned his head away, naturally did not notice the suspicious blush that quietly climbed up Lin Xi's cheeks. He said in a light tone, "Go back."

As he said this, he reached out to close the window.

The ebony window shutters slowly closed before my eyes, covering up the lush garden scenery and the figures outside the window bit by bit. Just when the last ray of light was about to be completely swallowed up, a snow-white hand suddenly inserted itself into the black and old window frame.

"and many more!"
