When Lin Hai woke up from his nap, Xiao Tu was the only one left in the courtyard, and at this time he was sitting on the stone bench, holding a ginkgo biloba leaf in one hand and rubbing it gently, and holding his cheek in the other hand to watch the endgame on the chessboard intently.

Hearing movement, Xiao Tu turned his head: "Uncle Lin, are you awake?"

Lin Hai nodded: "What about them?"

Nan Nan said that she wanted to eat cheesecake, so Nan Nan went to make it for her, and Sister Han Jun followed to make the cake together. ”

"Nan Nan is a good boy......" Lin Hai sighed.

"Yes......" Xiao Tu nodded, "I sometimes wonder if Nan Nan is only twenty-five years old, and I am thirty-two years old, will it delay her." ”

"Since you're afraid of delay, it's better to just get married as soon as possible, and I'll call the shots for you!" Lin Hai seemed to have wanted to say this for a long time, and was silent for a moment after speaking, "Are you worried about your mother? Xiaotu, although your mother is a strict woman, she actually cares about you very much in her heart, and everyone who wants Jackie Chan to be an elder will have it, and when your mother comes back, take Nan Nan to meet her, I will block it for you if there are any difficulties!"

"Well, good. Xiao Tu nodded.

In fact, Xiao Tu understands that Lin Hai recognized Shi Nan as his goddaughter today, not only because of his love for Shi Nan, but also in order to make his future journey with Shi Nan smoother.

Although Xiao Tu felt that no matter what kind of attitude his mother had towards Shi Nan and how difficult their future was, he would protect Shi Nan and go on resolutely, but Lin Hai had considered these for him, and he was still grateful to him in his heart.

Lin Hai sat down opposite Xiao Tu and looked at the chess game in front of him: "You kid is too similar to Chenchen, it's just that you live too transparently, so it's so hard." Xiaotu, whether you accept it or not, in my heart, you are my child like Chenchen, I sincerely hope that you can come out of that incident, you still have a good future, and you shouldn't keep trapping yourself in that accident. ”

Xiao Tu also silently lowered his head to look at the chess game on the chessboard.

Seventeen years ago, the day before the start of the play, fifteen-year-old him and twenty-three-year-old Lin Hanchen sat here face to face, a game of chess from noon to night, both of them were red-eyed, but they couldn't tell the winner no matter what, and they couldn't stalemate for a while.

However, the time to take the train was approaching, and under Lin Hai's urging over and over again, Lin Hanchen and Xiao Tu had to leave home and go to other places, so they agreed to wait for the end of this drama performance to have a showdown.

But no one expected that this game of chess would become an endgame, and it has been kept intact to this day.

"Xiaotu, in fact, you have already cracked this game of chess, right?" Lin Hai said quietly.

Xiao Tu frowned deeply, he stretched out a hand to hang above the chessboard, and suddenly, the scenes he had once with Lin Hanchen reappeared in his mind like a marquee, Xiao Tu seemed to be unable to bear the withdrawal of memory, he stood up violently with his forehead, and the ginkgo biloba in his hand also slipped from his hand.

"I can't do ......it," Xiao Tu said with difficulty, and then left the yard and walked into the house.

Lin Hai looked at Xiao Tu's painful back and sighed deeply.

The dinner was originally made by Lin Hanjun and the nanny aunt together, because Shi Nan strongly asked to join, he unconsciously made a large table of sumptuous meals, and everyone ate with relish, especially Lin Hai, who was still shy after sweeping away the meal, and Shi Nan's cooking skills were highly praised by everyone after this night.

After dinner, Lin Hanjun cleaned up two guest rooms for Xiao Tu and Shi Nan to stay, the Lin family has always had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, guests are as they please, Shi Nan and Xiao Tu also went upstairs early to prepare for rest, the two guest rooms are door to door, Shi Nan and Xiao Tu stop at the door at the same time.

"What's wrong. Can't you sleep?" Xiao Tu smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

As soon as Shi Nan wanted to nod, he was choked back by Xiao Tu's second half of the sentence, and after saying "good night" with an unsteady breath, he locked himself in the door. Heather leaned against the door and covered her heart, her heart beating out.

Heather was lying on the bed bored, and when she just had a hint of sleepiness, the phone vibrated quite presenceally, heather hesitated again and again or decided to take a look, it was Xiao Tu's WeChat, heather eyes suddenly widened after opening the dialog box, and the sleepiness disappeared in an instant!

Teacher Xiao fouled!! Shi Nan roared wildly in her heart, this person actually sent a selfie that he had just taken, the handsome and good-looking man half-squinted, tilted his head, and his chest loomed under his pajamas, making people unable to take their eyes off at all.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Tu sent another voice message.

"What are you doing? Nan Nan, I miss you......"

The male god voice with a bit of sleepiness sounded sexy and seductive at this time, tugging at the heartstrings of heather, how could this be withstood by heather, the girl's face seemed to be dripping blood, and she threw her mobile phone and buried her face in the quilt, trying to cool her cheeks with a slightly cool futon.

After slowing down for a long time, Shi Nan took out his mobile phone again and typed in a line of words: "I'm ready to sleep, good night Teacher Xiao!"

It didn't take long for Xiao Tu to reply.

"Good night, miss you. The four words came out through Xiao Tu's voice, like a feather falling steadily into Shi Nan's heart, disturbing a pool of spring water, disturbing Shi Nan's heart into a mess, why did Teacher Xiao's voice sound like he was coquettish with himself? If it wasn't for Lin Hai's house, if it weren't for the two doors separating them, Shi Nan couldn't wait to rush to Xiao Tu's side immediately and listen to him say these words to himself.

Xiao Tu was indeed coquettish to the heather, when he returned to the room alone, the surroundings were quiet, and the terrible memories began to devour his thoughts, followed by physical and mental pain, Xiao Tu found that only when he thought about the heather would he get a moment of peace in his heart. I don't know when heather has become his blind antidote, and a beacon for him to fall into the blank endless waves.

"Nan Nan......" Xiao Tu read softly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The initiator Xiao Tu fell asleep, but the heather on the opposite side was insomnia, a pair of eyes widened looking at the ceiling, his head was a mess, and the sheep counted to the point that he forgot how many he counted, so he simply gave up, got up with a dry mouth and planned to go to the living room to pour a glass of water to drink.

There was a night light on in the living room downstairs, and in order not to wake up the others, Shi Nan walked lightly to the refrigerator by the faint light, only to see a black figure lying on the sofa, Shi Nan covered his mouth in surprise, and looked at Lin Hai.

"Dad, haven't you slept yet?" Shi Nan patted his chest, relieved.

Lin Hai smiled tiredly: "Nan Nan didn't sleep either?"

"If you're thirsty, pour a glass of water to drink. Shi Nan responded, and only then did she see that Lin Hai was still holding a photo in his hand, and she could vaguely see that it was a big boy in the photo, "Is it Brother Chen in the photo?"

Lin Hai nodded and handed the photo to Shi Nan: "When Xiaotu came back today, I suddenly remembered a lot of things from the past, this is my son Chenchen, and Xiaotu have known each other since childhood, he has always treated Xiaotu as his own brother, if he is still alive, he will definitely like you very much." ”

Through the faint light, the heather finally saw the face of the young man in the photo, the facial lines are very soft, it is the type of big brother next door who looks very warm, the young man in the photo is smiling very brightly, as if all the darkness will be avoided by his sunshine.

"Mr. Xiao mentioned Brother Chen to me, he said that Brother Chen has the gentlest smile in the world, and he really didn't lie to me, this is really the best smile I have ever seen. Shi Nan also felt regret when she spoke, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Nan Nan, go, accompany me to Chenchen's room, there are also a lot of memories about their brother, I'll take you to see it. Lin Hai seemed to have some difficulty trying to get up, and Shi Nan immediately stepped forward to help his elderly father up.

The silver key glowed faintly, and after turning, the wooden door made a hoarse "creak" sound, as if to complain of a long period of neglect, but as soon as the room was opened, a fresh scent of blue wind chimes wafted into the room.

"Chenchen likes this fragrance, so I put this incense in his room, and I will change it to a new one regularly, for fear that if he wants to go home and have a look, he will not get used to it. Lin Hai took the initiative to explain the origin of this fragrance to the heather, and this romantic approach heather empathized.

"The perfume on Mr. Xiao's car is also this smell, I am very familiar with it, it is the fragrance of blue wind chimes, this smell seems to calm him down. Shi Nan said with a smile.

"Xiao Tu is also a nostalgic person...... Lin Hai's tone was a little complicated when he said this, he touched the switch of the room along the wall, and his vision brightened up in an instant, the furnishings of the room were very different from other rooms, at first glance, there was an illusion of traveling through time and space, the room was about the same as when Lin Hanchen left, and there were many things that were only available at that time, such as a walkman placed on the bookshelf, neatly stacked cassette tapes and DVDs, and a bulky old desktop computer......

Heather was suddenly attracted by a wall plastered with photographs, yellowed but still visible, including group photos of the troupe and landscape photos of mountains and rivers. And in an area in the lower right corner, Shi Nan saw a familiar and unfamiliar face for her, and instantly recognized it, this is a miniature version of Xiao Tu!

The photos should be arranged in a time line, so that you can see the difference between the dots in each photo. The young man Xiao Tu in the first photo looks exceptionally clean, although his chin is pointed and his cheeks are fleshy, and he has a cold poker face and does not smile, while Lin Hanchen grinned and held the young Xiao Tu in his arms and smiled brightly.

In the last photo, the young Xiao Tu and Lin Hanchen were standing in the courtyard of the villa, and the two of them took a photo with their "V" hands in front of the chessboard under the big tree, which was taken by Polaroid, the color was a little dim, and there was a row of smooth small words written below: It's agreed, come back and fight again!
