Chapter 150 Chinese Valentine’s Day extra: I just met you (Happy Chinese Valentine’s Day!)
When she was very young, Lin Daiyu knew that her younger brother was not in good health.

Adults always think that children don't understand anything.In fact, she had already seen the abnormality in the family through the expressions of her parents.

After moving to Yangzhou, my younger brother often fell ill.Although the mother didn't say anything, she played halfway with her every time.Always worried, he got up to check on his younger brother.

The newborn brother is really ugly, with a wrinkled and red face.

Daiyu asked Lin Ruhai why her younger brother's face was so red.I still remember that at that time, Lin Ruhai smiled and hugged her on his lap, telling his daughter that she was born like this too.

Because of this sentence, Daiyu looked in the mirror for a long time, and she couldn't believe that she would be so ugly.

The Lin family has few relatives in Yangzhou, and in fact the same is true in Suzhou.I heard from my father that my grandfather had a few old friends before.It's just that after my grandfather passed away, I didn't have much contact with him.

Moving from the capital to Yangzhou, Daiyu's mood is like a bird flying freely in the sky without the controlling mother around her.

There is always so much fun in a new home.The ants in the corner, the bright moon by the window, the room that belongs to itself, and the library that can be broken into at will.

Every day when her father came back, she would pester Lin Ruhai and ask him to teach him how to read.

There are so many happy things, if only my younger brother can grow up quickly and play with me together.

But the older my brother gets, the more time he spends in bed.

Daiyu could understand her parents' sad faces, so she had no choice but to hide her thoughts.

During that time, the atmosphere at home was not very good.Until Dad suddenly said that he had a sister who was also in Yangzhou when he was eating.

When Daiyu heard this, she was both happy and surprised. It turned out that we still have relatives.

Jia Shi explained to her: This aunt is the daughter of Daddy's teacher.

Daiyu is still too young to understand the relationship here.All she knew was that this aunt was really nice.Every time I come to the door, I will bring her gifts, tell her stories, and teach her to read and write.

Every time Daiyu remembered a sentence, her aunt would praise her.Until one day, when she was chatting with her mother, she said, "Yu'er is so smart in reading, even compared to her uncle's disciple."

"Auntie, is that person very powerful?"

"His name is Chen Heng, and he is as powerful as your father back then."

"Then Yu'er wants to compare with him, and fight for daddy."

Since the addition of an aunt who often walks around in the family, the smiles of the adults have also increased.In order to make her parents happier, Daiyu was encouraged to study harder.

In the following years, she also received messages from the other party intermittently.

Lin Daiyu, who was fighting secretly, had been waiting for an opportunity.She had to read a lot of books, and then suddenly appeared in front of the other party, which shocked this guy named Chen Heng.

Jia Shi once teased her, "When you see him, you have to call him brother."

I don't want to call him brother, even if he reads better than me, I won't call him.

If he called his brother, wouldn't he have surrendered?I don't want it.

The young Daiyu thought so in her heart.

Then we meet, what should we call him?

She kept thinking that the other party came to Yangzhou to study, but she didn't think of an answer.

But knowing which academy Chen Heng was in, she couldn't help finding Lin Ruhai, and wanted to go out to study with her.Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai really agreed.

Lin Daiyu, who was holding back her energy to go to school, was going to lurk in the academy.Then she waited for an opportunity in the dark, appeared in front of her opponent well, and used her literary talents to make him bow down.

Just waiting, she waited for Kazuki's paper crane.

When Jia saw the paper crane for the first time, it was Daiyu who hung it beside her brother's bed.She once asked her daughter what kind of bird it was, and it looked really good when folded.

"Mom, this is a paper crane." Daiyu showed a bright smile, "Some people say that if you make a wish to it, your wish will come true."

"Isn't this a lie to children?" Jia Shi couldn't help laughing, "Then what is your wish?"

"I hope my brother grows up well and can study with me."

"Okay." Jia smiled and held her daughter's little hand, "Now Mother hopes that this paper crane will be of some use."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, she finally met her opponent at home.

Daiyu also thought about what to call her.

"Brother."

"Hi sister."

This person's skin is a bit dark, and he speaks in a gentle manner, but his eyes can't help but look at himself. Could it be that he envies that I am whiter than him?Daiyu couldn't help thinking in her heart.

There are more and more paper cranes under the tree, and time seems to be urging people to grow up little by little.When things are getting better, bad things are lurking in the dark.

The younger brother's health seemed to be getting worse and worse, Lin Ruhai and Jia Shi did not allow Daiyu to go to the academy again.During those few days, she could only obediently hide in the room, folding the paper cranes over and over again, and making wishes to the paper cranes over and over again.

She hoped that someone could come to help her, and that someone could save her brother.

Then, my brother appeared.

The dusty Chen Heng sat on the steps with her.

"Don't be afraid, this doctor is very powerful, he is my friend's master."

"Sister, have you lost weight? Haven't eaten well recently?"

"Your friends are very worried about you, but unfortunately I came in a hurry and didn't send any words for them."

Brother, why do you like to nag so much like your mother?She was obviously happy in her heart, but Daiyu couldn't help thinking about it.

In the past few days, neither father nor mother cared about their daughter, so she could only worry about it by herself.But listening to the other party's concerned nagging, even the smell of the other party's body that hasn't been washed for a few days has become bearable.

"Brother."

"what?"

"I made a wish on the paper crane."

Chen Heng laughed awkwardly, "Damn, that's..."

Before his elder brother could finish speaking, Lin Ruhai came out of the room and held Chen Heng's shoulder, "Good boy, good boy."

Although Dad didn't say much, Daiyu looked at him and knew that his brother's health would get better.

Brother, I want to make a wish on the paper crane again.

On the second day, when Chen Heng was still asleep, Daiyu who got up early took advantage of the fact that the adults had no time to look after her, and sneaked into Chen Heng's room by herself.

Looking at the sleeping person, she took out a newly folded paper crane from her bosom.Putting the paper crane on Chen Heng's heaving chest, Daiyu couldn't help laughing as she watched the paper crane with wings spread up and down.

She wanted to wait, wait for the other party to wake up, and then tell him the news that her brother was recovering.

Also tell him that he had a good meal this morning.

Daiyu suddenly felt that there were many, many things she wanted to say to the other party.

With such eagerness, she couldn't help shouting: "Brother, brother."

She stretched out her finger and poked Chen Heng's sleeping face.

What responded to her was Chen Heng's turning over.

"Paper Crane, you have suppressed the paper crane." Daiyu was so angry at the pig in front of her that she cried.But no matter how much she shakes, the other party just won't wake up.

Annoyed, she wandered around the house.But for some reason, when she sat back on the bed again, she laughed again.

"Forget it, sleep well when you're tired." She propped her chin with her hand, "When you wake up, I'll secretly take the paper crane away."

In this way, you will not know the wish I made for the paper crane.

　Outrageous, the single dogs in the group clamored to watch the episode.Scratching your head, I dote on you so much, so I naturally agree to you.I wish you a happy Qixi Festival, and lovers will finally get married.
