Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

As soon as Lin Tian reached the villa's entrance, he saw that the living room light was still on. He pushed open the door, changed his shoes, and went inside.

JoJo was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hand, but she wasn't reading it. Her eyes were fixed on the door. When she heard a noise, she immediately stood up.

"Xiao Tian!"

She hurried over, looking Lin Tian up and down with worry in her eyes. "Are you alright? Why are you so late? Did they hurt you?"

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Sister, I'm fine. Look, I'm back safe and sound."

JoJo took his hand, pressed him down onto the sofa, looked him over from left to right, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was unharmed.

"Are you really okay?"

But I'm still a little worried.

"It's really nothing."

Lin Tian said, "I just went out to help a classmate's father with a small favor, which delayed me for a while."

JoJo looked at him, hesitant to speak.

She knew Lin Tian was no ordinary child; she knew it from the very first day he arrived in Hong Kong.

He's too mature, too calm, too...unlike an eight-year-old.

But she didn't ask any further questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and she didn't want to pressure him.

"Next time you go out, remember that your safety is the most important thing."

"it is good."

Lin Tian nodded. "I know, sister."

JoJo stood up, went to the kitchen, and brought out a bowl of soup.

The soup was still steaming; she had kept it warm on the stove.

"Have some soup to warm your stomach. Did you eat anything for dinner?"

Lin Tian shook his head.

I haven't eaten anything since this afternoon.

JoJo sighed and went to the kitchen to bring out a few more dishes, steaming hot, clearly meant to be kept warm for two people.

"Sister, haven't you eaten yet?"

Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.

JoJo sat next to him, propping her chin up and looking at him: "I'm waiting for you. I can't eat until you come back."

Lin Tian felt a warmth in his heart, picked up the bowl, and took a sip of soup.

The soup was pork rib and winter melon soup, light and refreshing, very delicious. I drank several mouthfuls in a row, then picked up a piece of pork rib and chewed it slowly.

JoJo watched him eat, a slow smile creeping onto her lips. "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Um."

Lin Tian took another sip of soup. "Sister, is Tangtang asleep?"

"I went to bed early."

JoJo said, "I waited for you until after nine o'clock. I was so sleepy that my aunt coaxed me to sleep. Before falling asleep, I kept saying, 'Why isn't Guoguo back yet?'"

Lin Tian smiled, imagining Tangtang's pouting little lips, and his heart melted completely.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, I'll spend time with her."

"it is good."

JoJo nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​what exactly did you do tonight?"

Lin Tian paused for a moment while picking up food, then resumed normal action, picked up a piece of rib, put it in his mouth, and didn't say anything more.

"Helping a friend with a small favor."

JoJo looked at him, trying to read something from his face.

But Lin Tian's expression remained calm, revealing nothing.

She sighed and didn't press the matter further.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I know you're not an ordinary child."

Lin Tian looked up at her.

JoJo's eyes are gentle and sincere.

"From the first day you came to Hong Kong, I knew that you were too mature and too calm, sometimes even calmer than me."

I don't know what you've been through in the past, and I don't want to know. All I know is that you are now my younger brother, and Tangtang's older brother.

He paused, then reached out and patted Lin Tian's head: "I hope you are safe and happy. No matter what you do out there, remember that there are people at home waiting for you to come back."

Lin Tian looked into her eyes, into those gentle eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

I wanted to say something, but my throat felt a little choked up.

He simply nodded, then lowered his head and continued drinking his soup.

JoJo didn't say anything more.

She leaned back on the sofa, watching Lin Tian eat, a faint smile on her lips.

The living room was quiet, with only the clinking of dishes and the ticking of the wall clock.

"Sister," Lin Tian suddenly spoke, "do you believe there are bad people in this world?"

JoJo paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I believe you."

"If one day you find out I've done something really, really bad, will you still treat me like a younger brother?"

JoJo looked at him and smiled.

"Xiao Tian, ​​no matter who you are or what you've done, you'll always be my brother, and that will never change."

Lin Tian put down his bowl, looked at JoJo, his eyes were a little red, but he didn't let the tears fall.

Sincerity is indeed the ultimate weapon; even a cunning and ruthless person like myself can't resist it.

"Sister, I've finished eating."

JoJo stood up, collected the dishes, and took them to the kitchen to wash.

Lin Tian sat on the sofa, watching her back, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

Outside the window, the night was deep.

The city remains vibrant at night.

He knew that no matter what happened outside, he had a home and people waiting for him to come back.

Lin Tian stood up, walked to the top of the stairs, and glanced back at the kitchen.

JoJo was washing the dishes, humming an unknown song in a soft, pleasant voice.

"Goodnight, sister. I'm going to take a shower so I can go to sleep."

JoJo turned her head and smiled at him: "Goodnight, Xiao Tian."

Lin Tian went upstairs, walked to Tangtang's room, and gently pushed open the door.

Tangtang lay on the bed, hugging the rag doll, her little face flushed, and a trace of drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

He went over, tucked the blanket around her, kissed her forehead, and whispered:

"Tangtang, your brother is back."

Tangtang turned over, mumbled something, and fell asleep again.

Lin Tian smiled, walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

Back in my room, I took a shower, changed into my pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

the next morning.

When Lin Tian woke up, Tangtang was already sitting by his bedside, hugging a rag doll and staring at him with her big eyes.

"Brother, you're awake?"

"Um."

Lin Tian sat up, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Why is Tangtang up so early?"

"Tangtang can't sleep."

She climbed into bed and snuggled into Lin Tian's arms. "Brother, where did you go last night? Tangtang has been waiting for you for so long."

"Brother is going out to help a friend." Lin Tian hugged her. "Was Tangtang a good girl?"

"good!"

Tangtang nodded vigorously, "Tangtang is the best girl. Auntie says Tangtang is the best girl in the world."

Lin Tian smiled and pinched her little cheek: "Yes, Tangtang is the best girl."

Tangtang smiled happily.

With a bright smile, Andy Lau is at the gambling table with his mentor, the God of Gamblers Chow Yun-fat, with millions of dollars worth of chips laid out in front of them.

Chow Yun-fat said in a deep voice, "All in!!"
