Chapter 54: The Secret Base
"According to your aunt, she will be home this weekend, but it may be tomorrow morning!" Lin Jin said.
"I see, Mom, good night!" Lin Yuhan Road.
After a sleepless night, at about ten o'clock the next day, Lin Yuhao also returned to his home in Y City.
"Brother, why are you back?" As soon as Lin Yuhao entered the door, he heard Lin Yuhan's surprised voice.
"You kid can run back quietly without saying hello, and won't allow my brother and me to come back to settle this account with you?" Lin Yuhao quipped.
After Lin Yuhao finished speaking, he looked at his younger brother with inquiring eyes, he didn't know if his brother already knew something, but he got affirmation from his younger brother's eyes, he did have an accident that night because of alcohol.
"Didn't I miss my mother? No, I'm going to go back to you tomorrow to ask you for my guilt! I didn't expect you to pour it back. β
"Do you know how to plead? By the way, Chu Ning came back with me! Lin Yuhao poured himself a glass of boiling water, and then said to his younger brother unhurriedly.
"Yu Hao, are you really back?" Before he could wait for his younger brother to speak, Lin Jinwen came out of the kitchen and said in surprise.
"Mom, I'm sorry! I thought that Yuhan was back, so I came back together to get together. β
"Yes--, we should get together."
"Mom, is there anything you need me to help with?" Lin Yuhao stepped forward and hugged Lin Jinwen's shoulder and asked.
"You must be very tired from driving a long bus just now, why don't you go up and take a break! When the meal is cooked, my mother will call you. β
"Oh well! I'll go to my room and get some information and come down. Lin Yuhao looked at Lin Yuhan, who looked like he was going to disappear quickly, so he had no choice but to take his coat and go upstairs.
Lin Yuhan quietly looked at his brother's back going upstairs, and the back clearly revealed exhaustion and loneliness.
Chu Ning's living room was very active today, just after lunch, Chu Ning chatted with her parents about some interesting stories about Wuyang, especially when it came to the scene when she and Jiang Xu met for the first time, which made Chu Tianxing and Ye Mei laugh out loud.
"You girl, you always lack roots, you can't even tell the difference between teachers and seniors, but you still study music, and you don't even recognize the great talents in the music industry." After Ye Mei finished laughing, she didn't forget to count her daughter.
"I can't think of it for a while, can't I? Moreover, he was dressed very casually at the time, and he couldn't look a little casual and rude, almost a world away from the serious look on TV and magazines. β
"In my opinion, most artists are like this, they behave and think differently, but luckily he doesn't embarrass you." Storing the sky.
"Of course, Dad, you don't know, since Mr. Jiang came, my grades have almost improved by leaps and bounds, Mr. Jiang not only ignores his previous suspicions, but also often goes to the piano room to personally guide me, and now when he is occasionally too busy, he will let me help him learn to do some teaching assistant things?"
"Look at your beauty, since Mr. Jiang values you so much, then you have to work harder! Don't let him down on what he expects of you. β
"Of course--" Chu Ning was just halfway through her words when her mobile phone rang, and she took it out of her pocket to check it, showing that it belonged to the Lin family.
"Who called?" Chu Tianxing looked at the hesitant Chu Ning and asked.
"Dad, it's Aunt Lin's phone."
"Then take it! What are you waiting for? β
"Yes--" Chu Ning answered the phone.
"It's me, Chu Ning." The other party was silent for a few seconds, and then Lin Yuhan's voice came in.
"Brother Yuhanβ"
"Chu Ning, what are you doing now?"
"It just so happens that Dad is on a holiday, and we're chatting, what's the matter with you?"
"Can you come out for a while?"
"Now?" Chu Ning glanced at his parents.
"Come out! I'm waiting for you on the other side of the river, on that big rock. Lin Yuhan didn't wait for Chu Ning to answer, and hung up the phone.
"Is it Yuhan?" Ye Mei saw that her daughter was a little hesitant and asked.
"Hmmm! He asked me out for a while. β
"Then you go out! He finally came back, and he will go back to Shanghai soon, since you are back, you should go to Lin's house to visit him. β
"Alright then!" Chu Ning saw that her mother insisted, so she had no choice but to nod, she couldn't help but say that they had actually met.
"Add some clothes! It was very windy outside. β
"Mom, I'll be back soon, it's okay." Chu Ning finished speaking and went out.
"Don't you see that your daughter has been hesitating? You forced her out. After Chu Ning went out, Chu Tianxing said to Ye Mei.
"These two children have been tired of being together since they were children, so why hesitate to meet them now?"
"The children have grown up and have their own ways and spaces to get along, so we don't have to worry about it, do you want to make the same things happen back then?"
"Alas! How can it be as serious as you said, I didn't force them to be together, it's just that I like Yuhan's child too much, and I always think that maybe after getting along for a long time, our daughter will be--"
"The child's emotional affairs, we can only pull her from the side, and we can't force it, for fear that one will accidentally step into the footsteps of our generation in the future." Chu Tianxing lit a cigarette and smoked it with a solemn expression.
"Brother Yuhan--" When Chu Ning arrived at the river, Lin Yuhan was sitting on the big stone.
"You're here!" Lin Yuhan just raised his head, and Lin Yuhan, who had not been seen for a few days, had deep eyes and a tired face at the moment.
"Hmm!" Chu Ning and Lin Yuhan sat down side by side.
"Brother Yu Han, after you left yesterday, Brother Yu Hao was very worried about you, and he was still looking for you everywhere?"
"Chu Ning, I'll take you to a place." Lin Yuhan also replied to Chu Ning's words, and couldn't help but take her hand, bypassed the other side of the river, and came to an old red house after a while.
Chu Ning found that the house was old, with green moss on the walls, but the surroundings were clean and tidy, without any weeds, and it was obviously often taken care of.
Chu Ning searched in his memory, and in his memory, it seemed that someone had lived here.
"Weird, right? This place. Lin Yuhan looked at Chu Ning and looked at the house curiously.
"It seems like --, haven't lived here for a long time." Chu Ning looked around the house and muttered.
"It's true that no one has lived in it for years." Lin Yuhan looked at Chu Ning's confused eyes and said loudly.
"--, you know?" Chu Ning asked suspiciously.
"Of course!" Lin Yuhan sat on the steps of the room, and took advantage of the situation to sit next to Chu Ning.
"This is my family's old home, but no one has lived in it for as long as I can remember."
"I haven't heard my parents mention it, but I seem to have a vague impression."
"Really? When I was only four or five years old, my mother moved into the house where I live now. So this house doesn't have much of an impression on the two of us, but my brother will come here often, don't you know? He would often come to this old mansion and sit for a long time. β
"You mean, Brother Yu Hao often comes here alone, and he stays for a long time? But why don't I know? Chu Ning said in surprise.
"Of course you don't know, this is the secret base of our two brothers, here are all the memories of my brother's childhood, I remember when I was a child, my brother would come here every time my brother was unhappy or bullied by others, he would come here and cry happily."
"What about after crying?" Chu Ning asked curiously.
"After that? Then I'll go home! Boys! After crying, it's good to act as if nothing happened. β
"You're biased, and you're here without me." Chu Ning looked around the house again, and said a little unhappily.
"It's said that it's a secret base, but my brother won't let me tell you, he said that men don't flick their tears, and they can't shed tears in front of girls, otherwise they will be looked down upon by her."
"Then why did you bring me here today? Aren't you afraid that your secrets will be revealed? β
"Naughty, I brought you here at the risk of being beaten, and you're gloating."
"Where? I'm just weird! "Chu Ning is innocent.
"Chu Ning, I've been here for the past two days." Lin Yuhan was silent for a few seconds, and finally lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"Why? Do you want to cry too? Chu Ning quipped, and after speaking, he felt speechless again, and hurriedly apologized:
"I'm sorry! I'm just kidding you, don't be angry. β
"What should I do if I --, condensing? I was in so much pain that I could barely speak, as if I was about to suffocate. Lin Yuhan suddenly turned around and stared at Chu Ning, his eyes were as deep as sea water.
"Brother Yu Han, did you --, what happened?" Chu Ning suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Chu Ning, you say, what if my pain and my suffocation are all related to you?"
"Yuhan, what's wrong with you? As you said, we still get along as we did before. Every time he faced Lin Yuhan like this, Chu Ning had an urge to leave quickly.
"Chu Ning--you listen to me! I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future. Lin Yuhan got up and grabbed Chu Ning, who wanted to turn around.
What should be faced must be faced, after today, he is afraid that he will no longer have such courage in the future, even if the result of facing it will make him even more sad, he has no choice. There are some things that he must do, and some results that he must endure.
Chu Ning had no choice but to sit back next to Lin Yuhan silently, what she was most afraid of was Lin Yuhan like this, through the parting, which made her feel distressed, but it made her feel more pressure.
"Chu Ning, I'm going back to school soon!"
"Hmmm! I know. Chu Ning nodded.
"I don't know when I will have a chance to come back!"
"This winter break is coming, and you can come back!" Chu Ning is incomprehensible.
"Chu Ning, do you really think so? Would you like to see me at any time, too? There was more hope in Lin Yuhan's eyes, and he stared at Chu Ning tightly.
"Your home and your relatives are here, if you don't come back, where can you go?"
"Yes! Where can I go? Lin Yuhan pondered, and seemed to be really thinking about this question, if he didn't go home, where would he go in such a big world?
