Chapter 212: Entrustment
In order to facilitate communication, Zhao Yuanli booked a private room, to be honest, Zhao Yuanli's means of inviting Lin Hai and his wife to this banquet were a bit scoundrel, he didn't know the reason why Lin Hai agreed to himself, but he knew that if it was not good to make good use of this opportunity, it would be impossible for him to invite Lin Hai again.
The girl sitting next to Zhao Yuanli was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white shirt, gray-blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers that young people liked, looking refreshing and cute.
The girl's facial features are very exquisite, completely different from Zhao Yuanli's rigid lines, if it weren't for the similarity between the eyebrows and eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that this is a pair of brothers and sisters.
The girl supported her chin with her hands, blinked her big eyes, and looked a little cute with boredom, and sometimes her eyes crossed her brother's somewhat uneasy face, and a smile quickly flashed at the corner of her mouth.
"Brother, haven't you invited a guest yet? Will you not come, I'm so hungry, or let's eat first. β
The girl licked her lips cutely as she spoke, looking like a little gluttonous cat, Zhao Yuanli couldn't help grinning:
"Wait, it's not time yet."
The girl lay on the table weakly, propped up the table with her chin, and said weakly:
"Then why did we come so early, I knew that I would eat two more meat buns in the morning, so hungry, so hungry..."
Zhao Yuanli smiled and looked at his sister with an exaggerated expression:
"Hui'er, be polite for a while, these are two very important guests."
Zhao Yuanli refused to lecture his sister, but tactfully persuaded him, although the girl looked naΓ―ve and coquettish, but she could understand the meaning of her brother's words, sat up straight on the ground, and asked curiously:
"Brother, you always say that you are a very important guest, who is it? Could it be that my brother found me a sister-in-law? Hey? Will parents come too? Oops, oops, I didn't prepare for it, brother, brother, wouldn't it be very unserious for me to dress like this!? Why don't I go home and get dressed? β
Zhao Yuanli smiled helplessly:
"What do you think! Where did I get my girlfriend, let alone any parents, today I invited two... Well, how to say it, very capable friend, didn't I tell you, I will be transferred to work in the field for a period of time next week, and the two guests invited today want to ask them to take care of you. β
The girl pouted and said with a look of grievance:
"Brother~ Can't I go with you?"
"No, this is a task, I can't take you, besides, you will take the college entrance examination next year, how can you take the college entrance examination with me?"
"Huh?! Brother, you're going to a far place, aren't you? β
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, in short, take care of yourself when your brother is away, in case you have any difficulties, you can find Brother Li or Sister He Han... You can also look for these two today. β
"I know, I know, brother, you've said it eight hundred times, I'm not a child anymore, I was also at home alone when you went on a mission before, don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
Zhao Yuanli sighed, to be honest, he really wasn't very relieved, but his sister always had to grow up, and she couldn't always live under her wing.
"Well, I'll contact you when I have time."
"Hmm."
The girl was silent, Zhao Yuanli knew that her sister was in a bad mood, but she couldn't comfort her, after all, this was the path she chose, and now she had no way to regret it.
Zhao Yuanli sighed secretly, and was about to open his mouth to change the topic, when his ears suddenly moved, he closed his mouth and turned his head to look at the door of the private room, and at the same time, the door of the private room was gently knocked.
"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk."
This is the signal for the waiter to open the door, and before Zhao Yuanli can speak, the door was opened by the waiter, and the waiter wearing a modified phoenix costume pushed the door in with a smile:
"Sir, the guest you were waiting for has arrived."
After speaking, the waiter turned sideways to get out of the way, Lin Hai appeared at the door with a smile, and it was Ye Xuexin who was holding his arm beside him.
"Hey!"
"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, you are here, please come in."
Zhao Yuanli got up with a smile and greeted him, the waiter took the opportunity to retreat to the door, Lin Hai and Ye Xuexin walked in, and after nodding at Zhao Yuanli, his eyes turned to the girl who stood up and was looking at him with big eyes curiously.
"Hui'er, come here, this is your Brother Lin and Sister Ye, call someone quickly, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, this is my sister Zhao Hui'er, I didn't bring it well, she is a little willful, you two have a lot of bearing."
Zhao Hui'er stepped forward and called people obediently, perhaps because she was shy, there were two more blush on her cheeks, and she looked very cute.
Ye Xuexin let go of Lin Hai's arm and took half a step forward, looked at Zhao Hui'er with a smile and said:
"Hui'er, can I call you Hui'er?"
"Of course, sister."
"Well, Hui'er is so cute."
"What's the matter, my sister is, no, I mean my sister is so beautiful and temperamental, I envy it!"
After speaking, Zhao Hui'er looked at Ye Xuexin with joy and envy in her eyes, Ye Xuexin grinned, stepped forward and pulled Zhao Hui'er to the table to sit down, Zhao Yuanli also beckoned Lin Hai to take a seat, and then the waiter stepped forward to pour tea:
"Do you want to order now?"
Zhao Yuanli looked at Lin Hai, and Lin Hai waved his hand:
"Xiao Zhao, you order, I'm not familiar with this place, Xue Xin and I don't have any taboos, we can eat anything."
Zhao Yuanli nodded with a smile, picked up the menu and quickly ordered a few dishes, it seemed that he had already thought about it, Lin Hai smiled slightly when he saw this.
When the waiter left, Zhao Yuanli glanced at his sister who was whispering and laughing with Ye Xuexin, hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and then turned to Lin Haidao:
"Mr. Lin, I'll be leaving the city next week."
Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized:
"Ah, so fast, where are you going... Forget it, when I didn't ask. β
Zhao Yuanli smiled knowingly, his eyes turned to his sister, although Zhao Hui'er was talking to Ye Xuexin, but the corners of her eyes kept paying attention to her brother's movements, and her ears also caught her brother's words at any time.
Lin Hai looked at Zhao Yuanli's line of sight, and said with some enlightenment:
"Your sister isn't with you?"
"No, she wants to stay in the city, she will take the college entrance examination next year, and it will be a loss if she transfers now."
Zhao Hui'er quickly made a grimace at her brother when she heard this, to show her dissatisfaction with her brother's decision, Lin Hai couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she saw this, but she couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuanli deeply, and Zhao Yuanli showed a wry smile.
Lin Hai observed Zhao Hui'er's expression for a while, although she looked a little dissatisfied, but her mood was still very calm, Zhao Yuanli once said that his sister would understand his choice, but now Lin Hai seems to see that Zhao Hui'er, an obviously very simple girl, does not seem to understand what kind of choice her brother made.
Lin Hai didn't know what to say for a while, Ye Xuexin smiled and said:
"Which university does Sister Hui'er plan to go to?"
Zhao Hui'er pursed her lips, looking very entangled, and the fingers of her hands were twisted vigorously, as if she wanted to weave a flower.
Zhao Yuanli said with a smile:
"Don't you like the city's universities?"
Zhao Hui'er glared at her brother:
"I'm not."
After saying that, Zhao Hui'er pouted and didn't make a sound, as if she was in a bad mood, Zhao Yuanli looked at Lin Hai embarrassedly, and then spread her hands with a wry smile and said:
"I, as an elder brother, can't take care of children, which makes Mr. Lin smile."
Lin Hai shook his head and said:
"No, Miss Hui'er is very cute and sensible, I guess she must have her own ideas, you as a brother should listen patiently."
Zhao Hui'er glanced at Lin Hai, and seemed to disagree with Lin Hai's words, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she glared at her brother fiercely, venting her frustration to her brother.
Ye Xuexin pursed her lips and smiled, gently patted Zhao Hui'er's hand and persuaded:
"Of course this kind of thing has to go home, the two of them talked slowly, okay, now it's time to eat, let's talk about something happy."
So, the four of them divided into two groups again, and each talked about some light topics.
This meal was quite pleasant, especially the delicate and lovely Zhao Hui'er, which added a lot of fun to everyone, but Lin Hai found that every time Zhao Hui'er looked at her, her eyes were a little strange, and she always felt that there was some regret in her eyes, of course, she definitely didn't feel sorry for Lin Hai, probably she felt that Lin Hai was not worthy of Ye Xuexin, and there was a kind of pity that flowers were inserted on cow dung.
And this kid won't hide her eyes at all, she may think that she is hiding it well, but Lin Hai sees it clearly, so she is a little depressed.
At the end of the dinner, Ye Xuexin and Zhao Huier exchanged contact information, especially after Ye Xuexin knew that Zhao Huier and He Han were very familiar, the relationship between the two became more cordial, and Zhao Huier also liked Ye Xuexin very much, and she was very reluctant to say goodbye.
Although Zhao Yuanli didn't say anything throughout the whole process, Lin Hai knew very well what Zhao Yuanli meant, he meant to entrust his sister to himself, of course, he definitely entrusted more than his husband and wife, but since Lin Hai did not explicitly refuse, then when Zhao Huier really had any difficulties in the future, Lin Hai must help.
Seeing off Zhao Yuanli's brothers and sisters, Lin Hai walked silently a few steps with Ye Xuexin's hand, and then said through consciousness teleportation:
"This brother is really ruthless!"
Ye Xuexin sighed:
"It's also understandable, my sister has grown up, and she always has to leave her brother's wings, and sooner or later she will have to take this step, not to mention that Zhao Yuanli is a very persistent person, he has what he has to do."
Lin Hai was silent for a moment:
"Actually, I don't really understand this kind of person's thinking, I don't think anything is more important than my own relatives."
Ye Xuexin pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced sideways at Lin Hai:
"It doesn't matter if the world is destroyed?"
"If the destruction of the world doesn't affect my loved ones, it really doesn't matter."
"Hey, you're so selfish!"
Lin Hai smiled:
"Yes, I am indeed very selfish, but I admire people like Zhao Yuanli, including Hu Xiaomei, and I can't pretend to be blind to their dedication to the whole society."
"So, you're going to help him take care of Hui'er?"
Lin Hai shrugged:
"There are many people who take care of Miss Hui'er, and he doesn't just ask us, I think, he hopes that we can guide Miss Hui'er on the path of transcendence."
Ye Xuexin smiled:
"Well, probably he knows that Hu Xiaomei and they can't give Hui'er too many resources and opportunities, but he has extra confidence in you."
"Don't forget, he's half-god now, and he probably knows more than we thought."
"Oh? Didn't he tell Hu Xiaomei? β
"If he could, he would definitely say, I guess he can't say it, he is severely restricted by the rules, this god is not easy to be, tsk, I always feel that this road is a pit, a sinkhole!"
Lin Hai's face was a little serious, Ye Xuexin frowned slightly, and then quickly stretched out, gently pulled Lin Hai's hand, and pulled him towards the lively shopping mall not far away with joy.
