In the evening, the living room of the Lin family.

Lin Xi and Lin Jing sat on one side of the dining table, and Lin Yue sat opposite the two siblings. Chen Shufen sat at the top, and the four of them ate dinner quietly.

The four dishes and one soup on the table exude the unique aroma of food.

"Xiaojing, it's very brain-consuming to review in the third year of high school, this is the braised fish I made for you, let's eat more." With a kind smile on her face, Chen Shufen sandwiched a large piece of braised fish into Lin Jing's bowl.

"Thank you, Mom," Lin Jing hurriedly said.

"Silly boy, what's polite to your mother." Chen Shufen said with a smile.

Recently, Chen Shufen suddenly seemed to be a different person. In the past, although Chen Shufen was not as mean to Lin Jing as she was to Lin Xi, she was not much better.

Lin Xi was a little puzzled how Chen Shufen could suddenly care so much about Xiaojing.

However, seeing that his mother was finally willing to take care of his younger brother, Lin Xi was happy from the bottom of his heart.

And Chen Shufen was still cold to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was inevitably a little disappointed occasionally, but she felt that as long as her mother could always treat Xiaojing well from now on, she would be content.

Lin Yue took the spoon and was about to scoop the fish soup into his bowl, but the spoon fell into the soup basin, and a few bits of soup splashed on the white tablecloth.

"Yueyue, what's going on, how do I think you seem to be absent-minded tonight?" Chen Shufen looked at Lin Yue with concern.

"Ah, no, no." Lin Yue's expression was a little flustered.

"Yueyue, you weren't like this before, what happened, tell me quickly."

"Mom, it's really nothing, don't ask again." Lin Yue said in a pleading tone, and as he spoke, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and quickly glanced at Lin Xi.

Chen Shufen's face immediately sank, she looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Lin Xi, are you bullying your sister again?" ”

Lin Xi hates being wronged, especially by his own mother. A cloud of anger surged in her heart, but thinking of Chen Shufen's kindness to Xiaojing just now, Lin Xi endured it. Said lightly: "I don't." ”

Chen Shufen said unrelentingly: "You didn't, then how could your sister be like this?" ”

Lin Xi said patiently: "I really don't know. ”

Chen Shufen was about to say something, but Lin Yue suddenly shouted loudly: "Mom, don't wronged Lin Xi, I'm just in a bad mood."

I'm full, I'll go upstairs first. ”

After speaking, he suddenly got up, pushed away the chair, and walked quickly upstairs.

Chen Shufen's rich face showed a stunned look, Yueyue seemed to be speaking for Lin Xi for the first time, Chen Shufen couldn't help but glance at Lin Xi deeply.

Then he got up and walked to the second floor.

Soon, only Lin Xi and Lin Jing were left in the huge living room.

Lin Jing looked at Lin Xi uneasily; "Sister?"

Lin Xi reached out and touched Lin Jing's head, and comforted: "It's okay, they're gone, we can just eat more." ”

After eating, Lin Xi and Lin Jing walked out of the house together and walked along the quiet street.

Master Lin Xi often said before his death: "If you walk a hundred steps after dinner, you can live ninety-nine." ”

Under the influence of the master, Lin Xi developed the habit of walking with his younger brother after dinner every day.

The inky blue sky hung with a bright crescent.

The light projected from the villas illuminates the green belt on both sides.

The streets were quiet, and the September night breeze slowly blew through the faces of the two of them, with a hint of coolness.

"Xiaojing, when is the next monthly exam?" Lin Xi asked.

"September 24th." Lin Jing replied.

"It's September 17th, so that's only a week."

Lin Xi walked forward with Lin Jing side by side, looking at Lin Jing, and suddenly found that Lin Jing was a cut taller than her, she exclaimed with some surprise: "Xiaojing, you are tall again." ”

Lin Jing looked sideways at her sister, and then laughed: "It seems to be true." ”

Lin Xi put his arms around Lin Jing's neck, forcing him to bend down, a head shorter than her, and pretended to be disgusted: "Boy, you can't wait for sister, what are you doing so fast?" ”

Lin Jing said seriously: "When I grow taller, I can protect you." ”

Lin Xi suddenly remembered that when she was seven years old, Chen Shufen slapped her several times because she accidentally broke a bowl while washing dishes.

She cowered in the corner and sobbed silently.

Xiao Jing walked up to her, squatted down, gently wiped the tears from her face with her fleshy little hands, stared at her with a pair of bright big eyes, and said in a childish but resolute voice: "Sister, don't cry." I'll try to grow up quickly. When I grow up, I will protect you and will not let my mother and eldest sister bully you anymore. ”

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jing had grown into a young man.

Lin Xi's heart suddenly swelled with a sense of relief and pride that my family had just grown up.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Jing's words brought Lin Xi back to her senses, and she found that she was still holding Xiao Jing's neck, making his body half-bent.

Lin Xi let go of Lin Jing and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy, sister didn't hurt in vain, and I will rely on you to protect my sister in the future." ”

Lin Jing raised a bright smile: "No problem." ”

After a few more walks, the siblings returned home.

In the second-floor hallway, the two said goodnight to each other and then went into their respective bedrooms.

······

Lin Jing was about to take a bath, when a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.

Lin Jing thought it was Lin Xi, and hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door.

saw Lin Yue standing at the door, holding two glasses of milk in his hands.

Lin Jing was a little surprised: "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Yue said with a smile kindly; "Xiaojing, I'll bring you milk, is it convenient to go in?"

Lin Jing hurriedly stepped aside: "Eldest sister, please come in." ”

His demeanor was kind and a little detached.

It's not that Lin Jing deliberately wants to alienate Lin Yue, it's just that from childhood to adulthood, Lin Yue, who is the eldest sister, is very indifferent to him. Lin Jing couldn't get close to his eldest sister, and over time alienation became an instinct.

Lin Yue walked into the bedroom and looked around. said with a smile: "Xiaojing, you are still like when you were a child, look at how clean and tidy this room is." It's not like my room is like a kennel. ”

Lin Yue was suddenly so approachable, but Lin Jing was not used to it, he scratched his head and said a little shyly; "Eldest sister, don't say that."

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Xiaojing, drink this milk while it's hot. ”

Lin Yue said and put the glass of milk in his left hand on the table.

"Well, thank you, big sister."

"Don't be angry, Xiaojing, you can serve me this cup to Xiaoxi."

Lin Jing looked at the milk in Lin Yue's hand and showed a look of surprise.

Lin Yue smiled a little unnaturally: "You also know that the relationship between me and Xiaoxi is very awkward. If I had sent it over, the brook would have not only refused to drink it, but would have poured milk on me. ”

"Eldest sister, actually my sister she-"

Lin Jing wanted to explain but was interrupted by Lin Yue: "Xiaojing, I know what you want to say." I also know that Xiaoxi, she is a person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

I regret that I used to fight with Creek a lot, and now I want to heal the rift between me and Creek.

But as the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

So I want you to be a peacemaker and slowly ease the relationship between me and Xiaoxi, would you like to? ”

Lin Jing nodded without hesitation.

"Then can you help me deliver this glass of milk to the creek's room." Lin Yue said and handed the milk in his hand to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing hurriedly reached out and took the milk.

"Now, just send it over.

lest it be cold, and the brook will be upset in the stomach after drinking. ”

"yes, okay." Lin Jing agreed, took the milk, and walked towards the door.

After only taking two steps, he was stopped by Lin Yue again.
