Chapter 5
Ning Qiu stopped and called him, "Lin Xiao, when did you come back?"
Lin Xiao had long hands and long feet, and ran to Lin Ling and Ning Qiu in a few steps, and put his hand on Ning Qiu's shoulders. His posture was full of possessiveness, and he showed the relationship between himself and Ning Qiu in front of his sister. Intimacy, said: "I see that you have gone to work, so you will come back first."
"Oh." Ning Qiu said.
Lin Ling is very shrewd and capable in the field of power and in career management, but she is very simple in matters of men and women. She has not spent time understanding the matters of men and women, and she also felt that there was no need to do so before. .Therefore, although she felt that Lin Xiao's possessiveness towards Ning Qiu in front of her was strange, but she didn't understand the meaning at all.
Lin Ling raised her eyebrows, looked at Lin Xiao, and asked, "You are in City S, do you live in Ning Qiu's?"
Lin Xiao spent most of his five or six years living with Ning Qiu from his sophomore year to his senior year. The reason at that time was that Lin Xiao's father was in prison and his mother was hiding. No one cared about him who was studying in S City. Ning Qiu happened to be working in S City, so he took him to live in his home and took care of his studies.
The relationship between Lin Xiao and Ning Qiu is good, in the eyes of everyone, it is reasonable and natural.
Lin Ling naturally has her mansion in S City, and the Lin family has other houses, but, because Lin Ling is now the head of the family, Lin Guohao still has to see his daughter's face if he wants to live in it. It depends on the face.
Lin Xiao basically never took the initiative to find his sister.
Lin Xiao didn't hide it either, he even did it on purpose, just to declare his sovereignty over Ning Qiu, saying, "Well, I've been living with my brother."
He hugged Ning Qiu's shoulders tightly.
Ning Qiu was hugged so tightly by him that he felt a little uncomfortable. He patted Lin Xiao's hand lightly and said, "Your sister and I want to talk about something, so go and do your own thing first."
Lin Xiao said, "I have nothing to do."
Ning Qiu felt helpless, he said, "Your sister and I have something serious to talk about."
Helpless, Lin Xiao had no choice but to leave.
He noticed that Ning Qiu had taken off the ring, and his finger was empty.
After returning to the house, he raised his hand to look at the ring on his finger, and was stunned for a while.
He knew that his sister liked Ning Qiu, and even liked him since junior high school. Of course, this was just Lin Xiao's guess.
Both Ning Qiu and Lin Ling went to No. [-] Middle School in D City for junior high school, and Lin Ling went to the top private middle school in S City for high school. At that time, the grandmother who had been raising Ning Qiu passed away. He was sent to this private middle school to study.
This private middle school is also Lin Xiao's alma mater. It is well-known in S City. Every year, the advertisement will show how many students got offers from top overseas universities, how many students entered Qingbei, how many students went to 985, 211, etc. wait.
Lin Ling has learned painting since she was a child. When Lin Xiao was very young, she saw a lot of Ning Qiu in her sister's album. Lin Ling seemed to love him very innocently and purely. In high school, unless Ning Qiu returned from S City to D City Otherwise, Lin Ling wouldn't have come back either.
Ning Qiu is likable. A proud person like Lin Ling likes him so implicitly. Lin Xiao feels that it is only natural for Lin Xiao to fall in love with him.
Lin Xiao didn't even remember when and why he fell in love with him. It was probably in the freshman year of high school that he suddenly realized it.
At that time, he was 15 years old and Ning Qiu was 23 years old and had just graduated with a master's degree.
Ning Qiu has found a job and has two choices, one is to stay in Beijing, the other is to return to S City.
Ning Qiu didn't discuss anything with his mother very much, but probably he was really hesitant between the two jobs, and then went home to discuss it with his mother.
His mother and his stepfather brought Ning Qiu to Lin Guohao's house again, wanting to ask Lin Guohao's opinion, there are too many twists and turns, but Lin Xiao grew up in such a circle of "power" , so I can see these twists and turns clearly, although he was only 15 years old at that time.
Although Lin Guoqing is Lin Guohao's elder brother, Lin Guoqing is much more "honest". He has always relied on his younger brother Lin Guohao for his life.
It is not entirely correct to say that he relies on him, he relies on Lin Guohao for his work and business, and his life is not bad, and he is also a person of face outside.
However, Lin Guohao has always been used to being high-spirited, sometimes calling out to his elder brother casually, treating him like a younger brother.
When Lin Guoqing married Ning Zhien, he didn't know that Ning Zhien had an illegitimate son who was raised by her mother's side. After getting married, he found out, but he had a deep affection for Ning Zhien, so he didn't have a relationship with Ning Zhien because of this. En divorced, the two had a conflict for a while, and then their relationship recovered. However, Lin Guoqing has always disliked Ning Zhien's illegitimate son, and sometimes called Ning Qiu "that bastard". The reason is that she has never had a child. It is said that Ning Zhien also has some physical problems. In short, the two have not been able to give birth to a child. Now that Ning Qiu has grown up, it is just right. Lin Guoqing suddenly realized that Ning Qiu It seemed that he was the only one who could "throw the pot" for him, so he paid more attention to Ning Qiu. Ning Qiu was very competitive. He was weak in writing and writing since he was a child, and he studied quietly and steadily. He did very well in the college entrance examination. Going to a top domestic university and a master's degree student who became the top academician in the field without relying on his family. Now he has two job options, both of which are excellent jobs.
Don't look at Lin Guohao's career was in a state of burning oil at that time. He was often so arrogant that even Lin Xiao couldn't listen to it. Only those who wanted to make money from him would praise his stinky feet, but Lin Guohao was still in some places. He has self-knowledge, so he respects intellectuals very much, and attaches great importance to children's education. When Ning Qiu was admitted to a top university, he even gave Ning Qiu a red envelope of [-] yuan to reward him. Of course, Ning Qiu didn't want it. His red envelope, and finally gave the red envelope to Ning Zhien.
In this state, Ning Qiu is already Lin Guoqing's "achievement" shown in front of his younger brother, which can be used to improve his status in his younger brother's mind.
Since Lin Xiao couldn't stand listening to Lin Guohao's self-satisfied speeches, Ning Qiu naturally couldn't stand listening to them either, but Ning Qiu was very polite, so he didn't get up and leave, but sat there and pretended to listen carefully.
Lin Guoqing bragged about how awesome Ning Qiu's master's tutor was, and then talked about the two jobs his tutor recommended for him, and then made a gesture of wanting to hear Lin Guohao's opinion.
Lin Guohao praised Ning Qiu, and finally gave his opinion that it is good for Ning Qiu to stay in Beijing, and even said that he would reward Ning Qiu with a house in Beijing.
Although housing prices in Beijing at that time were not as high as they are now, they were by no means cheap, and it was unthinkable for ordinary people.
Naturally, Ning Qiu would not want Lin Guohao's house, if he wanted someone else's house, he would have to work for him.
Lin Xiao was at home during the winter vacation at that time, and he listened to the conversation of these people in the family, and was caught by his father and said: "Look at how powerful you are, Brother Ning Qiu, you have to learn more from him."
Lin Xiao went to see Ning Qiu, and Ning Qiu looked at Lin Xiao with a peaceful and gentle expression, and said, "Everyone has their own pursuits, do what you like, and achieve what you like, I think it's all right. "
Lin Xiao was sitting on the armrest of the sofa where his father was sitting. He was already taller than Ning Qiu when he was a freshman in high school. He was condescending to Ning Qiu who was sitting on the sofa next to him. At that time, Ning Qiu was wearing a shirt and a sweater with a low collar. Today, Lin Xiao can still recall the feeling he felt when he saw Ning Qiu's fair skin under his collar. His whole body was hot and he had evil thoughts in his heart. He thought that the dirty words of his roommates must have hurt him.
Although he always had some messy thoughts in his mind, he didn't dare to put them into practice until his father was imprisoned, and his life suddenly fell to the bottom. He went to Ning Qiu's house every weekend, and he looked forward to it every day Looking forward to meeting Ning Qiu, if Ning Qiu had to work overtime some week and asked him to take a taxi to his house, Lin Xiao would feel unbearably lost and painful. He knew how passionately he loved Ning Qiu, but he dared not tell Ning Qiu these feelings , and did not dare to disrespect Ning Qiu even a little bit, until three years ago, he put all the desires in his heart into practice.
