After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Lin Yun was silent for a long time, and his tone became a little resentful: "Did you hear me calling you just now?"

"I heard."

"then you?"

"I was hurt from the fall and can't speak."

"…Shouldn't you scream out if it hurts?"

Xu Jingyi just shook his head.

Lin Yun sighed, climbed into the pit, and roughly checked Xu Jingyi's hands and feet. It turned out that he was not injured.

During this process, he discovered the iron box in the pit, covered in thick dead grass and cotton wool.

The iron box is mottled and obviously old.

"It must be an activity organized by Delin Primary School's Moral Education Class." Xu Jingyi guessed after coming to his senses, "Write a letter to yourself ten years later, and then find a secluded place to bury it..."

"Is there a possibility that the teacher of the Moral Education class did not organize the students to dig such a big hole just to bury such a small box?"

Lin Yun complained and opened the box nonchalantly.

Suddenly stunned.

The box was empty except for a photo, which was tightly sealed in plastic, so even though it looked like it had been there for a very long time, you could still see the contents of the photo clearly.

The background is a landmark building in the capital city of the neighboring province, the kind that tourists visit. Three men are standing there with their arms around each other.

The first one had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a small nose, and thin lips. He looked like a handsome guy who was not easy to mess with... In fact, he was indeed not easy to mess with. Lin Yun quickly recognized that this was the appearance of Mr. Lin when he was young!

The second person has typical Gallic white features, with a middle-parted hairstyle, overalls, and a naive smile. Needless to say, he is Mr. de Broglie, who founded Delin Middle School together with Mr. Lin.

The third one is quite amazing... This guy is unruly and unkempt, with a beard that grows to his chest. He wears a tattered Taoist robe and holds a wine gourd in his hand.

It is easy to understand why Mr. Lin and Mr. De get together. The two of them were indeed very close friends and shared some common ideals, otherwise they would not have started a school together.

The key point is, who is that Taoist priest?

Lin Yun's memory was a little fuzzy. It seemed that when he was a child, there was a Taoist priest who often came to see Grandpa Lin. Based on this vague memory, Lin Yun made up a story about the old Taoist priest to fool Yu Sheng and to explain the unreasonableness of his behavior.

Could it really be that Taoist priest?

This is too weird. If he is really qualified to appear in this photo, there shouldn't be no information at all.

Lin Yun was very sure that this person did not exist in the intelligence known to people in the two lives.

"Oh..." Xu Jing dragged out the tone, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, like a fox demon in a fantasy novel who saw a special physique that could greatly improve its power after practicing dual cultivation once, "It's as if I smelled the scent of family secrets."

"Are you interested? If you want to investigate, here are the photos for you. Just remember to share your progress with me."

Lin Yun threw the photo to Xu Jingyi without hesitation. Exploring family superstitions was not something he was good at, so it would be better to leave it to professionals.

Xu Jingyi took it with a burning gaze, muttering to herself, "This is the first mission after joining the organization, and it also serves as an inspection... Don't worry, I will try to keep a low profile and find out everything."

"Please work hard, Operator Xu Jingyi."

"Operator? That's a good name, pretty cool."

"It's really cool, but it won't be cool if you continue to stay in the cave." Lin Yun patted the inner wall of the cave, probably knowing what was going on, "Do you want to go up by yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

"Please carry me up first."

To be honest, the hole is quite deep. Lin Yun can climb up by himself without any problem, but forget about Xu Jingyi. This girl is very hardworking at work, but her physical fitness is just average.

Lin Yun squatted down, let her sit on his shoulders, then stood up and pushed her up.

The strange feeling on the back of his neck made Lin Yun have some bad associations, so before climbing out of the cave, Lin Yun subconsciously raised his head.

Xu Jingyi seemed to have seen through his thoughts and lifted up her skirt towards Lin Yun with a wicked smile.

"..."

The little princess of Nantang Newspaper Industry wore a gorgeous long dress and rode a motorcycle on the mountain road. On the first day of the new year, she visited the old lady of a family friend's home. On the way of exploration with the young master, she fell into a mysterious cave and picked up a mysterious photo...

This seems like a piece that would be very suitable for serialization in a youth literature magazine.

The premise is that the little princess is not in a vacuum throughout the whole process.

Lin Yun politely withdrew his gaze, simply accelerated his pace, climbed up the cave wall, and headed back.

Xu Jingyi, with his hands behind his back, staggered along, following slightly behind.

Finally, Lin Yun couldn't hold back and asked, "Why do you think that Jiang Qianxi marrying me will disrupt the balance of the organization, but you have no problem with it?"

"Ours is a common marriage between wealthy families. Everyone knows that marriages are just for show. Who would take it seriously?"

"Qianxi and Shengsheng both take it seriously."

"Do they like you?"

"...You can think of it this way. Actually, it's much more complicated than just "liking"."

"That's because they have a problem with their thinking. How can an organization with lofty ideals get caught up in the romantic relationship between men and women? It will be a mess."

Lin Yun almost wanted to cry. After saying so much nonsense, Xu Jingyi finally said something that was a little more reliable and accurately described Lin Yun's recent feelings.

Not only did the two childhood sweethearts have problems with their thinking, he himself did too. Their innocent friendship and future cooperative relationship suddenly turned into a Shura field... The key point was that it was still two and a half years before the arrival of the real young master from the previous life!

"In that case," Xu Jingyi suggested, "You should marry me. This will be a good opportunity to make them give up and help them get back on track..."

"Nonsense, if it's that easy to solve, let alone marry you, you can even let me marry Niu Zihao." Lin Yun smiled helplessly, "You think our relationship is too simple. If you really do that, they will be very sad."

sad?

In fact, Xu Jingyi didn’t quite understand, but Lin Yun’s expression was very serious and didn’t seem fake.

This was different from the impression she had of Lin Yun.

Xu Jingyi couldn't help but start trying to re-understand the relationship between the trio...an emotional relationship between people that is more complicated than "liking".

107. The Little Pig's Heart Beats Wildly (3000 words)

The lunch was delicious, but it didn’t give Lin Yun too many surprises.

The dishes at Yangxin Pavilion are relatively fixed. They do not like to pursue new trends, but rather wish that each dish could tell some traditional cultural allusions.

Lin Yun left after eating and did not join the afternoon conversation. He did not need to show off in front of Old Lady Lin, nor did he need to ask the old lady for help when the subsidiary encountered difficulties in its operations.

In fact, many brothers will take the opportunity of going home today to ask for help. The domestic economic situation has changed a lot in the past two years, and many subsidiaries have problems to varying degrees.

Only Niu Zihao and Lin Yun were relatively free. The elder brother was one of the few children of the Lin family who planned to enter the entertainment industry. Any family with a bit of background would not want their children to wade into the muddy water of the entertainment industry. Niu Zihao was considered a pawn of his aunt, but he seemed to enjoy it. While waiting for the special car to pick him up, he enthusiastically discussed with Lin Yun the music he was planning recently.

It seemed that Jiang Qianxi's success gave Niu Zihao confidence, making him feel that it was easy for an amateur high school student to debut directly without participating in a talent show.

"... a death metal song that incorporates reggae and Chinese traditional culture elements." Niu Zihao concluded, looking expectant. "Brother Yun, imagine it. Don't you think it's cool?"

Lin Yun tried hard to think, but couldn't imagine what kind of music it was, so he shook his head honestly.

Niu Zihao couldn't help but feel a little proud. As expected, true art is lonely. However, Lin Yun and Jiang Qianxi were childhood sweethearts, and they should have some appreciation level. So he assured: "When I make a demo, I will send it to you in advance."

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to it." Lin Yun complimented expressionlessly. But to be honest, Niu Zihao's artistic talent is really not commendable. It is too abstract and too early for humans.

However, Niu Zihao was just messing around with his aunt's resources. From the perspective of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", he should encourage Niu Zihao to try more.

"Why don't you just release an EP? Singles are too cheap. As the future godfather of Chinese music, you need to be productive."

"Oh, that makes sense... I'll think about it. Well, it's mainly because my mom advised me not to take too big a step. But I think you're right. In the future, when people mention Jiang Qianxi and I, we will be the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick of the Chinese music scene... The Crouching Dragon cannot lose to the Phoenix Chick... Hey, hey, hey, Xiaoyun, don't go. I haven't finished yet!"

"I have an appointment. I will leave first."

Lin Yun gave an encouraging smile and got into the black limousine.

The meaning of festivals is completely different for different people. Reunion is warm, but there must be people to reunite with.

The two childhood sweethearts have their own places to go, so Lin Yun doesn't need to worry about them. Relatively speaking, the little pig needs more human care, so Lin Yun decided to spend the rest of the day with her.

What was said before was that if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Yun would go in the afternoon, and if he was delayed by the Yangxin Pavilion, he would go in the evening.

So Lin Xiangling got up early to work at the art center, and went home to take a nap after lunch to make sure she was fully energized.

As a result, she was suddenly awakened by the ringing of her mobile phone. It was the special notification tone she set for Lin Yun. In order not to miss any message from Lin Yun, she specially chose a very loud and harsh sound. Over the past few months, Lin Xiangling has developed a conditioned reflex. When she hears the special notification tone, no matter how deep her sleep is, she can wake up instantly... She is the kind of person who needs three to five minutes of trance to regain consciousness after waking up, but after meeting Lin Yun, she seems to have evolved instantly.

The human body is amazing, right?

Lin Yun said he would arrive in about twenty minutes.

Lin Xiangling jumped up from the bed and went to dress up.

The steps are not complicated. They mainly involve washing the face and tidying the hair, and then picking out a suitable set of clothes... Normally, for home wear, comfort is the main consideration. But when Lin Yun comes, there is a different set of standards. It has to look good, but not too slutty... Lin Xiangling is not at all opposed to using her looks to please Lin Yun. Once she has chosen a person, she can hold back better than other girls. It's just that overly sexy styles are not suitable for her.

Pajamas are too ugly, so take them off and change into tights that show off your body curves. This is what Lin Xiangling learned from her two childhood sweethearts. She found that from summer to autumn, the two of them rarely wore pants, so stockings or tights solved the problem. They are warm and good-looking.

In terms of color, Lin Xiangling once tried to imitate Jiang Qianxi and wear white silk stockings. After all, Qianxi also has a relatively childish look. However, after trying it, she found that white silk stockings tend to make her look particularly fleshy and too astringent; black silk stockings appear too mature and don't match well.

Finally I found that skin-colored stockings are very suitable. Now the weather is cold, so I bought some skin-colored tights from a shopping app. They are not expensive, and they feel pretty good when I wear them.

The dress is an off-shoulder style... The design of this dress is quite nice, but a little expensive. Lin Xiangling watched the price for a while and bought it when it was cheap.

After putting it on and looking in the mirror, the person in the mirror had a kind of delicate charm. Lin Xiangling felt a little unfamiliar, but smiled foolishly.

When Lin Yun arrived, his first words were:

"Isn't your shoulder cold?"

"…It's okay. It's not cold at home."

"Take it easy. You don't feel cold when you are young, but you will suffer when you are old..."

Lin Yun came in carrying a big bag of food, chattering away.

Lin Xiangling’s eyes widened. They were obviously of similar age, but he spoke like a middle-aged or elderly person. He was indeed Lin Yun!

This is actually not very annoying. In fact, one should pay attention to keeping the joints warm. The key problem is that Lin Yun looked her up and down and didn't feel impressed by her "beauty" at all.

She suddenly felt a little depressed.

However, her frustration was quickly dispelled. She was very happy that Lin Yun came to accompany her today. What else could she ask for?

Although Lin Yun came to see her only when he had some free time because both of his childhood sweethearts went to visit their families, in fact, it was Lin Xiangling who monopolized Lin Yun's time.

When they were in school, the four of them often walked together. At those times, Lin Xiangling always felt that something was missing, and it was completely different from the feeling she had when she was alone with Lin Yun. Maybe this is the selfishness of love.

Lin Yun took out a gas stove from the trunk of the black luxury car and bought some meat at a nearby market, preparing to make homemade barbecue in the evening.

This was also Lin Xiangling's suggestion. On the surface, not eating out could save money, but in fact, she had more financial resources recently and there was no need to save money. What she enjoyed was the process of being busy with Lin Yun.

Coincidentally, Lin Yun was also enjoying it... The little pig was very hardworking and well-behaved. When she looked at him, there was always a gleam of trust and dependence in her eyes. Over time, Lin Yun actually felt more and more like he was raising a daughter.

In my previous life, I was in a hurry and died early. I had not had time to think about the issue of having children. Now that I think about it, it seems that having a little fragrant pig is enough. It would be extremely difficult to have another child who can reach Lin Xiangling's level. Child education is a very complicated issue and has a strong sense of fate. Relying on the advantages of being a reborn person cannot guarantee that you can educate a reliable child. This is like if a reborn person is reborn according to fate, there is no guarantee that he will randomly get reliable parents...

A while ago, when Lin Yun was feeling confused, after consulting Lao Bai, he also considered whether he should develop a relationship beyond friendship with the little pig... But the idea collapsed naturally not long after it existed.

Although her appearance was attractive enough to him, his mentality when he was with the little pig was really like that of an elder. Or, in other words, when looking at girls of this age, Lin Yun usually treated them as an elder. And precisely because he grew up with the two childhood sweethearts, he felt like they were peers.

For most people, being killed by their childhood sweethearts is the norm, and it should not be easy for them to develop feelings for them. Lin Yun once thought that he was also a normal person, but when they expressed their emotions to him, the turmoil in his heart was hard to suppress.

Ugh……

I figured out some things, but I became more confused.

About the future of three people.

Lin Xiangling carefully observed Lin Yun's emotions... Maybe he encountered something unhappy at home.

"Brother Lin Yun...are you in trouble?"

"Fortunately."

"Can you tell me about it?" Lin Xiangling quickly added, "Brother Lin Yun, don't force it. If it's something that's inconvenient for me to know, you don't have to tell me..."

"Ah, it's nothing actually. The old lady...my grandmother, arranged my lifelong event."

"Eh?"

The knife that was cutting the beef paused.

It was a close call, I almost cut my hand... Lin Xiangling blinked her eyes and focused. No matter what, she had to keep a stable mind when cutting meat.

Cut the beef into thin slices and put it into the marinade prepared by Lin Yun. Then you can grill it and eat it in the evening.

In a family like Lin Yun's, it's usually the parents who arrange the marriage, right?

Lin Xiangling was not very sure, but she felt that this inference was probably correct.

Then she felt very disappointed with herself. It was such an easy possibility to think of, so why had she never thought of it before?

Why didn’t you think about this when you decided to fall in love with Lin Yun?
