After Qin Chu led Lin Xi to the room where she stayed last time, Qin Chu took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Lin Xi.

After Lin Xi finally got the letter, he suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart.

She sat down on the couch and opened the envelope.

The letter is only two pages long

[Creek, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for not saying goodbye three years ago.

I had to leave because I had to leave, but I'd rather you never know—"

Seeing this, Lin Xi sighed softly. She had already guessed that Senior Brother Eighth had a hard time leaving back then. It's just that what kind of hardship he can't tell her?

Forget it, since he doesn't want her to know, let's keep it a secret forever.

Lin Xi then continued to read, and the rest of the content talked about some of the things that Senior Brother Eighth had experienced in the past three years, and at the end of the letter, he told her to take care of herself, and said that he would return to Rongcheng on her birthday next year at the latest.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Xi stared at the letter in her hand for a long time, until Qin Chu's voice sounded in her ears. She looked up at him a little dazedly, "What did you just say?" ”

"What did your eighth senior brother say in the letter?"

"Eighth Senior Brother said he would come back next year." When Lin Xi said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Good thing." Qin Chu said lightly.

"Cut" Lin Xi pursed his lips, his expression seemed to be a good thing, but she didn't care, anyway, the eighth senior brother was hers, not his.

"That's right, Qin Chu"

"Call brother." Qin Chu took the trouble to correct.

"Brother, how can you have a letter from my Eighth Senior Brother, have you seen my Eighth Senior Brother?"

"No, it was Ouyang Wenshan who asked me to pass on this letter to you."

Lin Xi was surprised; "Ouyang Wenshan, how could he have my Eighth Senior Brother's letter?"

In the midst of the lightning, a thought suddenly popped up in Lin Xi's mind, Ouyang Wenshan and Eighth Senior Brother are both surnamed Ouyang, they shouldn't be father and son.

Immediately, Lin Xi shook his head secretly, how could a figure like an immortal of the Eighth Senior Brother have a father like Ouyang Wenshan, it must be just a coincidence.

"Ouyang Wenshan and your eighth senior brother are father and son." Qin Chu said suddenly.

When Lin Xi heard this, he became a little nameless, "How do you know that they are father and son?" ”

Qin Chu said unhurriedly, "I did an investigation before. ”

Lin Xi fell silent, she knew that he didn't need to deceive her on this matter.

And she suddenly remembered something, on the morning of her time in the X laboratory, when Ouyang Wenshan came to Chen Yiyi with a group of people, he said to her, "Xiaoxi, I know you want to see my son." ”

"Actually, Ouyang Wenshan is different from what we imagined before, although he is not a good person, he is not a bad person either." Qin Chu said.

Lin Xi nodded slowly.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what kind of person the eighth senior brother is has little to do with what kind of person Ouyang Wenshan is.

"Oh yes, Ouyang Wenshan and Chen Yiyi have urgent matters, they left by plane this morning, and they asked me to say sorry to you."

Lin Xi probably guessed that they were apologizing to her for the previous gang that deceived her.

thought that she was worried about Chen Yiyi before, and she also wanted to save Chen Yiyi. She felt a little silly.

But she should be grateful to them. They taught her a lesson. When looking at people and things, you must be careful and not be deceived by appearances.

But then again, Chen Yiyi's acting skills are really good, and it's a pity not to be an actor.

······

That night, at the invitation of the cruise ship's owner, Bai Jiutian. Lin Xi and Qin Chu had dinner with Bai Jiutian.

Lin Xi remembered a few things related to Bai Jiutian, so he took this opportunity to ask, "Father-in-law, why did you blow up the castle?" ”

Bai Jiutian was picking up a piece of fish, he fed the fish meat to his mouth, chewed it a few times, and after swallowing it, he asked slowly, "Why do you think I blew up the castle?" ”

"I can't think of anyone but you who would put explosives in the castle and blow it up in front of you."

"Yes, I blew it up, and I blew up the castle because it contained a secret that no one could know."

Lin Xi asked curiously, "What secret?" ”

Bai Jiutian said with a smile: "Since it's a secret, naturally I can't let you know." ”

Lin Xi was indeed very curious, but seeing Bai Jiutian say this, and thinking that in order to keep that secret, Bai Jiutian even blew up such a magnificent castle, which shows how important that secret is.

So he didn't ask the secret again, but asked, "Is the secret base I heard about before that the castle on the island?" ”

"That's right."

"It's called a secret base because there are secrets hidden in the castle?"

Bai Jiutian nodded slowly, picked up a piece of fish meat again and fed it to his mouth, "The fish tonight is doing well, come to the creek to eat more." ”

As he spoke, Bai Jiutian picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in Lin Xi's bowl.

"Thank you, Father-in-law.

By the way, why did you want me and Qin Chu to walk through that passage before, and the rockery that rolled down in the passage was also arranged by you, right? ”

Bai Jiutian didn't answer Lin Xi's question directly, but instead talked about how the passage was discovered.

That was more than twenty years ago, when the X Laboratory had just been built.

Bai Jiutian asked the workers to dig a hole in the ground in his bedroom, and that bedroom was the room that Ouyang Wenshan arranged for her to live in when Lin Xi was in the X laboratory.

It is said that when the workers were digging a hole in the bedroom at that time, they found a natural cave under the surface.

After the workers told Bai Jiutian about this, Bai Jiutian walked all the way down the cave, and finally

I went to the beach.

What's even more amazing is that Bai Jiutian met a very young and beautiful woman on the beach at that time.

Bai Jiutian fell in love with the woman at first sight. And that woman was Lin Xi's mother, Ah Kite.

After listening to this story, Lin Xi didn't expect that the acquaintance between Bai Jiutian and Ah Kite would be as romantic as a fairy tale.

No wonder after so many years, Bai Jiutian can't forget Ah Kite.

At the same time, she understood Bai Jiutian's intention of letting her and Qin Chu walk through that passage, or that natural cave.

Bai Jiutian and Ah Kite are not together. So deep down, he regarded her and Qin Chu as the shadows of him and Ah Kite, and wanted the two of them to walk the same path that he and Ah Kite had walked and be together.

Lin Xi didn't continue to ask, and ate silently. After listening to Bai Jiutian's story, Qin Chu was also silent. It's just that those eyes are a little deeper than usual.

After a while, Bai Jiutian suddenly asked, "Xiaoxi, do you know why I asked you and Qin Chu to sail on a boat, and then blew up that ship?" ”

Lin Xi raised his head to look at Bai Jiutian and found that his gray-blue eyes were shining with kindness and earnestness.

Lin Xi thought about it and said; "You're trying to test us?"

Bai Jiutian said slowly, "I want you to understand that the road of life cannot be smooth sailing.

I hope that in the future, no matter what kind of hardships and setbacks you encounter, even if the ship of life capsizes, you will support each other and swim forward desperately.

As for that plank, it was used by me to test Qin Chu's love for you. ”

After hearing this, Lin Xi suddenly felt that although Bai Jiutian was a madman, he was just a madman with human nature.

However, when he thought of his eight senior brothers, as well as Ye Ning, they were all taken to an unknown place by Bai Jiutian.

Her brow furrowed again.

I couldn't help but ask, "Where did you take my senior brothers?" ”

Bai Jiutian said slowly; "I took them to a place to teach."

Lin Xi asked half skeptically, half suspiciously; "Why let them teach?"

"Because they are all very talented, I don't want their talents to be taken into the coffin after they die, so I let them pass on their talents." When Bai Jiutian said this, his expression was almost sacred.

Lin Xi hesitated a little, whether he should believe this or not. She almost subconsciously looked at Qin Chu beside her.

Qin Chu nodded at her.

After dinner, Bai Jiutian and Lin Xi discussed the filming.

In the end, the agreed result was that Lin Xi would go back to school to review the exam first, and then celebrate the New Year, and after the New Year, he would enter the crew for training.
