As soon as Jiang Lai returned home, there was the sound of a car motor roaring outside.

Shi Daochen parked the car at the gate of the yard, grabbed the key and walked into the living room, saw Jiang Lai standing there, and asked, "You went out?"

"Yes. Jiang Lai nodded and said, "You also went out?"

"Yes. Shi Daochen threw the key into the clay pot in the entrance, made a "clanging" sound, and said with a smile.

Receiving the same positive answer, Jiang Lai prepared to go upstairs to rest.

After stepping a few steps, Jiang Lai stopped and turned around, looked at Shi Daochen and asked, "Why didn't you ask me where I went?"

"You didn't ask me where I went. Shi Daochen replied.

After a pause, Shi Daochen looked at Jiang Lai, and invited, "Do you want to talk a few words?" I'll make you a cup of tea. ”

"No, I want coffee. Jiang Lai said loudly.

"Coffee, are you sure?" Shi Daochen asked in surprise, he knew that Jiang Lai had never drunk coffee. He hadn't touched the drink since he squirted his first sip of coffee.

"If the drink you like represents an attitude towards life, I want to experience the attitude of those who like coffee. Jiang Lai sat down on the sofa in the living room and explained aloud.

Shi Dao was overjoyed, ran to the kitchen and poured two cups of coffee, put a cup of coffee in front of Jiang Lai, looked at him with an expectant face, and said, "You taste, how does it taste?"

Jiang Lai took a sip, sighed and said, "It doesn't taste good." ”

“......”

Jiang Lai spit the remaining coffee juice in his mouth into the trash can next to him and said, "Just like the Chinese medicine I drank when I was a child, I'd better continue to drink tea." ”

“......”

Wait until Jiang Lai has made a cup of Tieguanyin for himself again, sat next to Shi Daochen with a teacup, and said: "I met a person today, and he said that everyone has their own life, and different lives have to face different choices. I wondered, if I had a life like his, would I have a choice with him? If he was in front of me, I would tell him again: no. People who like to drink tea will enjoy tea all their lives, and people who don't like coffee will never be able to accept this herbal taste. Okay, let's get started, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Shi Daochen held the coffee and tasted it carefully, feeling the bitterness and strong bean aroma brought by the coffee beans, and asked, "Have you gone to see Lin Chuyi?"

"Nope. Jiang Lai said loudly.

"Why not?"

"Why do you want to see it?"

Shi Daochen sighed softly, looked at Jiang and said, "It's better not to see each other, so as to avoid being even more embarrassed to meet in the future." ”

"yes. I don't know what to say when we meet, so why make each other so embarrassed?"

"Actually, it should be. ”

"Why?"

"Girls don't care what you say to her, they care more about what you do. If you can see her at this time, she will be very happy in her heart. ”

"What about later?"

"In the future?" Shi Daochen pondered for a moment and said, "Thinking of this meeting, even the hatred for you will be less." In each of our hearts, we are constantly doing the addition and subtraction of love and hate. Subtract your love for someone from your hatred for someone, and if the result is positive, then you can continue to get along. If the result is negative, then the relationship can be completely over. ”

Jiang Lai felt that this sentence made sense, but after thinking about it seriously, he shook his head and said, "I'm not like this. ”

"Do you have love?"

"Yes. ”

"Who is it?"

"You. ”

"What about but me?"

"No more. ”

Shi Daochen smiled bitterly and said: "The person you love is Lin Chuyi, because you love her, so you have to hide it, but you can't open your mouth to say her name." It's like saying my name out of nowhere. The more we liked a girl when we were children, the more we liked to bully her and tease her, as if we were afraid to let others know that we liked her. ”

"Do you think you know me well?"

"Yes. Shi Daochen nodded firmly and said, "I do know you very well. Know more than you know. ”

"You do know me well. Jiang said. "I don't say her name because I'm afraid you'll laugh at me. ”

"It's normal to like someone, why should I laugh at you?"

"It's normal for you to like someone, and it's normal for you to not like someone. Jiang said. "I'm not normal. I finally like someone, so I'm afraid you'll laugh at me. ”

"When are you afraid that people will laugh at you?"

"I'm not afraid that others will laugh at me, I'm afraid that you will laugh at me. ”

"It turned out to be my fault. Shi Dao said sarcastically. "Don't you find it difficult?"

"yes. It's so difficult. I've never experienced anything like this before, and I never thought I'd go through anything like this. Jiang Lai said loudly: "I just want to simply take revenge, find out the evidence of Lin Yu's violations and crimes, and send him to the police, and that's it." I continue to do what I love, read books, fix bottles, my time is so precious, why make life so complicated?"

"How can revenge be a simple matter?" Shi Daochen said, shaking his head. "You want to simply find Lin Yu's criminal evidence, and Lin Yu also wants to simply make it impossible for you to find his criminal evidence...... In the end, don't you have to fight wits and courage, and even get injured and bleed?"

"yes. Jiang Lai said indignantly: "So, Lin Yu is really bad. ”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Shi Daochen patted Jiang Lai on the shoulder and comforted: "I know you are very embarrassed, so leave these difficult things to me to deal with." Didn't you always do that before?"

Jiang Lai shook his head and said loudly, "I went to find Lin Yu. ”

"What?" Shi Daochen looked shocked and asked, "What are you going to do with Lin Yu?"

He thought that Jiang Lai went out to visit Lin Chuyi, but he didn't expect this guy to do so many things when he went out.

"I persuaded him to turn himself in. Jiang said.

“.......”

"Are you trying to say I'm stupid?" Jiang asked aloud as he looked at Shi Dao's speechless expression.

Shi Daochen shook his head lightly and said, "This is not stupid, this is naïve. And, I do feel it, you're in a quandary. If Lin Yu can find out with his conscience and choose to surrender in order to save his daughter....... This is the happy ending for everyone. Everyone was lucky, including Lin Yu himself. ”

"Lin Chuyi is free, and she has a father who loves her as much as ever. Lin Yu washed away the sins on his body and gained the most sincere love from his children. And you, you got Lin Chuyi and gained love. It's a pity, how could someone like him make such a choice?"

"yes. I'm struggling. Jiang Lai said loudly: "Lin Yu said that people have to make some sacrifices to live, and some choices that make themselves painful in their hearts. I felt that he had a point, so I made my choice. ”

"What did you do?" asked Shi Daochen aloud, "What did you tell him?"

"I said let him die. Jiang said.

"You took my chip?"

"Yes, I know you like to hide your valuables in the milk in the fridge. ”

"You don't have to do that kind of thing. Shi Daochen looked at Jiang Lai with an anxious face and said, "He is dead, what should you do? How will you face Lin Chuyi in the future? You finally like a woman..... If Lin Yu dies, the two of you will be completely finished. ”

"I know. I had no other choice. ”

"You have. You have other options. Shi Daochen said angrily: "Do you remember when we went to eat yellow croaker noodles together after the last auction?"

"Yes. ”

"I pushed the remote control in front of you and said that if you pressed the button lightly, the Chaumet building would collapse. Shi Daochen said loudly: "As a result, you refused, and pushed the remote control back into my hand." ”

"Yes, I know that. Jiang Lai said loudly: "I also told Lin Yu about this paragraph today. ”

"What you are embarrassed about, I have arranged for you. It's just to find an executioner, why do you have to pick up a knife to cut Lin Yu's head?" Shi Daochen became more and more angry the more he talked, and became more and more disappointed in Jiang Lai, and said: "You are clean, when Lin Chu comes out, you should fall in love, go to bed, and have a child when you should have a child, and there will be no impact because of this matter..... Why did you run away to be this executioner yourself? How will you face Lin Chuyi in the future? What will you two ...... Coming together?"

"I'm not going to be an executioner, who will?" Jiang looked at Shi Daochen and said, "Let you do it, who will Lin Chuyi hate in the future?" I don't want her to hate you. ”

"I'm an inconsequential person, what does it matter if she hates me or not?"

"You're not someone who doesn't matter. Jiang Lai said with a serious expression, as if he was talking about a very, very important thing: "You are my family. ”

"So what's the matter? I don't need to fall in love with Lin Chuyi and get married. ”

"I only have two family members, and I don't want one family to hate the other. Jiang said. "In that case, everybody will live in a very miserable way. ”

“.......”

"Besides, hatred is mine, and the people I like are also mine, and all things happen because of me....... But I will let you take up a knife and cut people. In that case, what am I? What am I? I will not be at peace for the rest of my life. ”

"Jiang Lai, you still don't understand. Shi Daochen looked at Jiang Lai's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The hatred is not yours, it is ours." The person you like is yours, but I'll try to like her too. Because she's what you like...... I was an orphan who almost froze to death in the caves of the Gobi. If the old man hadn't found me, carried me back, and fed me the rice porridge and eggs prepared for you into my stomach, I would have died a long time ago, and there were no bones left. ”

"I can live until now, because I owe it to Master and Master. I'm where I'm where I am today, and I'm enjoying everything I'm enjoying now....... It's all given by your Jiang family. Back then, I wanted to change my surname to Jiang, but the old man refused. said that if I am the only seedling of the Shi family, it will make people extinct. This kind of thing can't be done. However, I have always believed in my heart that I am the Jiang family, what does it have to do with me whether the Shi family is extinct or not?"

"When my sister was alive, I kept saying that let our senior brother be harmonious, I am the eldest brother, let me take care of you more in the future. It's adding responsibility to me, but I'm very happy in my heart. Because in Shi Niang's heart, I am your eldest brother, and we are a family. So, I can't let you be wronged, and I can't let people bully you. I can't let you suffer like this....... I can bear it, because I can bear it too much, but you can't. ”

“......”

Jiang looked at Shi Daochen, his mouth squirming, but he didn't know what to say.

He only knows that Shi Dao is good to himself, and he is very good to himself. It's just like that, brothers.

When he was young, he protected himself like a big brother. Because he said something unpleasant, other children came to bully him, and he always rushed over first. Then when he went back, he would be reprimanded by the old-fashioned old man, saying that he had not learned his skills well, and he had run out all day long.

After his parents had died, he rushed back from thousands of miles and took himself back to the country where he was unfamiliar with his life.

At that time, I was paranoid and willful, and of course, I am the same now. He is not used to eating Western food, can't drink coffee, and misses everything in China, he always tries his best to be satisfied.

At that time, his career was just getting started. A Chinese who works in a European art center like Florence in such a cultural way as art investment and collection often encounters the eyes of those arrogant Caucasias: You also understand art?

However, no matter how many grievances Shi Daochen has suffered outside, and how many times he has lost his smiles, he has never shown a penny when facing him. A person who is isolated and helpless, relying on his own wisdom and ability and hard work to ascend to the position of director of the Finence Medici Art Foundation step by step, how much sadness and tears did he pay?

As he said, he could afford it, because he had so much to bear. A veteran who has been on the battlefield may feel pain when he is slashed, but it will not endanger life and death. However, a teenager who has no worries about food and clothing and has never experienced any calamities, he feels that the thorns under his feet feel unbearable......

Jiang Lai was the boy who was protected by Shi Daochen, and until this moment, Shi Daochen still felt that he was not taking good enough care of him.

However, Jiang Lai was able to focus on improving his skills, concentrating on the work at hand, not being affected and disturbed by the outside world, and concentrating on doing the work he liked, precisely because there was such a person as Shi Daochen by his side to help take care of and deal with all kinds of emergencies. Otherwise, how would he face this crazy world of open guns and hidden arrows?

"Now I can only hope that Lin Yu will be more shameless. Shi Daochen sighed and said out loud.
