Chapter 21: The Powerful Fifth Master Lin
It was not a solitary footstep, but a clean footstep followed by a slightly weak, small footstep.
I didn't look back, but my face had changed.
Because I am familiar with that clean footsteps, not Shen Jingyun's footsteps, but whose footsteps? As for the other footsteps, I was very unfamiliar. And at the moment I have no interest in knowing whose footsteps it is.
Maybe it was my bad face that caught my grandfather's attention, and he gave me a worried look, then turned his head and snorted coldly in the direction of the person who came in the courtyard.
I was a little wooden, and I swallowed the spoonful of the still hot tofu flowers, but my grandfather's worried eyes touched me.
Since I was a child, he and his grandmother have worried a lot about me, do I still have to worry about him because I am out of love? Besides, Shen Jingyun and I are probably settled, right? It's not that I'm responsible for him, what do I have to run away from, and I don't even have the courage to turn my head to look at him?
Thinking like this, I quietly clenched my fingers, a formulaic smile on my face, and finally turned my head to look at the courtyard.
In the courtyard, who is it not Shen Jingyun? He wore a camel-colored cashmere coat, a gray sweater, and a heavy scarf that covered his chin, and his tall and slender figure still looked elegant and dusty in the snow.
It seems that it will always be like this, no matter when Shen Jingyun is, he is always dressed simply and decently, exuding a different temperament, and he can always feel his extraordinaryness in a low-key manner.
It's the same with goodbye now, but I don't have any desire to appreciate it.
If he was really worried about me, he should look like a dusty man, how could he have so much attention to his clothes? Just like the time he came to my rescue in the village, whether it was a white shirt or slacks, there were some dirty marks.
I like the marks from above, and I can smell the smell of what he worries about me.
I don't know when I became such a sensitive and calculating girl. But the more I thought about it, the more natural the smile on my face became.
Shen Jingyun also saw me at the same time, through the fine snow, I couldn't see clearly in his eyes under his black-rimmed glasses, and I didn't want to see clearly, but I saw that there seemed to be a figure behind him. Because Shen Jingyun's tallness completely covered that figure, it was only at the crook of Shen Jingyun's arm that a few white and slender fingers were exposed, which stabbed my eyes painfully.
I don't know what to say? It seems that in just a few days, I found that I had nothing to say to Shen Jingyun.
However, my grandfather didn't know what was going on, coughed, asked knowingly, and asked in a cold tone, "Who are you?" ”
Shen Jingyun opened his mouth slightly, and didn't say anything, but at this time, the figure behind Shen Jingyun stood up and said softly to Shen Jingyun: "I want to see my fifth grandfather, let you dress appropriately." But you drove too carelessly, and there were wrinkles behind you. ”
At this time, I saw clearly that there was a slender figure coming out from behind Shen Jingyun.
Yes, it's just a very simple description, but after she stands up, people will have a feeling that she is the only one in heaven and earth, and her posture is worthy of the word slender.
Every move is like a weak willow, and nothing like flowing water, with a feminine softness, but there is a kind of toughness that will not be easily subdued.
She was dressed very simply, with a coat of the same color as Shen Jingyun, and the cut was simple and just right. There are no superfluous ornaments on the body, just a slightly swaying skirt, revealing a kind of woman's elegance.
Is this a couple outfit to demonstrate? I was wearing the heavy clothes that my grandfather randomly found for me, sitting here like a small bun, suddenly sad to death, but the smile on my face could not be taken back, even the corners of my mouth were stiff, but I couldn't say anything extra except laughing, and I couldn't think of extra expressions.
I just looked at her, and I was no stranger to that face.
There are five or six points similar to me, beautiful and indifferent, at first glance it looks soft as if to contain everything, but on closer inspection, it is cold and separated from people, and there is a kind of confident power between the eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel that this woman is unconquerable.
Lin Ruolan, I never thought that I would really see her in my lifetime. I've heard of this for a long time, and I've been comparing it for a long time, and even the woman who has received it on her behalf......
Now, I have lost Shen Jingyun, all my persistence is like a joke, sitting in the corner with such a weak momentum, dressed in embarrassment, and holding a bowl of tofu flowers.
Now, she is standing in the snow, like a truly elegant and noble orchid, next to Shen Jingyun. Even the two of them are so close to that kind of alienated temperament, standing there, who dares to say that they are not a couple? Shall I bless then?
I cared so much about Lin Ruolan, but she smiled so softly at me, which was a silent greeting. Then, it was natural to sort out the scarf for Shen Jingyun, yes, it was very natural. Isn't it natural to tidy up your back and tidy up your scarf, and it won't make people feel abrupt?
But after all, I was there, Shen Jingyun's face showed a trace of reluctance, and he quietly avoided Lin Ruolan's action of arranging the scarf for him.
Lin Ruolan was slightly stunned, but smiled quietly, and no longer continued this action, but naturally let go of her hand.
She turned her head and bowed deeply to my grandfather, the standard ancient etiquette, full of everyone's beautiful demeanor, and then said softly: "Fifth grandfather, from the time you left the Lin family to now, Ruolan is afraid that she hasn't seen you for more than 20 years." I was a little negligent just now, but I didn't dare to let my friend see you in disheveled clothes, so I tidied it up for him. If there is any negligence in etiquette, don't worry about the fifth grandfather. ”
Five grandfathers? The Lin family? More than twenty years?
Well, even if my IQ is only ten years old now, I'm afraid I understand the meaning of this.
The identity issue that I had been running away from for a long time finally didn't have to run away anymore. It turns out that I am a member of the Lin family, and this Lin Ruolan and I are not similar for no reason. She called my grandfather the fifth grandfather, then her grandfather is my grandfather's own brother, and she is my dignified cousin.
Everything turned out to be so bloody, but it was expected.
I don't know what to say, but my hands are so cold that I feel like I've thrown all the spices in the world into a pot of soup and stirred them, and I can't tell what it tastes like.
After listening to Lin Ruolan's words, grandpa's face and eyes softened, his tone was not kind, but he said kindly: "You are a good girl, although I am not in the Lin family, I have heard that the most outstanding junior in the Lin family is you." Look at your speech, but you are also knowledgeable, and look at your aura, which is also soft and gentle. Compared with your small-bellied grandfather, your uncompetitive father, and your ignorant and snarky mother are not only ten or a hundred times better. ”
As soon as I heard that, my face burned.
I know that Grandpa Quara Lin Ruolan is real, because even I, seeing Lin Ruolan and Shen Jingyun appear like this, I can't hate her, and I have to admit that she does have the kind of temperament that makes people feel good at first sight.
But at the same time, Quarin Ruolan ...... damage her elders like this?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruolan.
Lin Ruolan's face really became aggrieved, with a slightly angry and hard-suppressed expression.
But so, I still think she's a good person. If she is completely silent, it will make people feel scheming and terrifying, right?
"Fifth Master Lin, I'm Xiaoshuang's friend. My name is Shen Jingyun, and I came this time because I couldn't worry about Xiaoshuang and made a special trip to see her. At this time, Shen Jingyun, who had been a little silent, finally spoke, and while speaking, he also performed an ancient salute towards my grandfather, looking respectful.
But the next sentence changed sharply and said: "But please don't embarrass Ruolan from Fifth Master Lin, she heard that you are here, I don't know how excited she is." said that you used to be the most outstanding one of the Lin family, admired you very much, and was nervous and ...... to see you."
Before Shen Jingyun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Ruolan.
I looked at Lin Ruolan, there were rare tears in her eyes, I sympathized with her slightly, but my heart still throbbed, Shen Jingyun protected her so much, even if my grandfather said a word, Shen Jingyun was willing to offend the elders, not to mention the Lin family's business?
"Fifth grandfather, my friend doesn't understand the rules, I hope you will forgive me. Jingyun, don't open your mouth to talk about my Lin family. Indeed, before my fifth grandfather Haoyue, he didn't even count fluorescence, but he didn't know it, and as a cultivator, he couldn't restrain his jealousy. And my father is simply a gentleman. As for my mother, although she is not gentle and mellow, she has cherished Ruolan since she was a child, and she also asked the fifth grandfather to be merciful. After all, they are all Ruolan's closest relatives, and their rights and wrongs Ruolan dare not discuss in vain, so she can only restrain herself, practice hard, and cultivate virtue, hoping to add a touch of luster to the face of the Lin family. ”
After speaking, Lin Ruolan bowed deeply to my grandfather again.
But I sighed that this long passage of words was sincere and polite, and at the same time protected my relatives.
Even I think Lin Ruolan is actually so likable.
When my grandfather heard this, he actually stood up and said, "Okay! I didn't expect my second brother, who is the most uncompetitive, to have such a brilliant granddaughter. Just to save your face, I won't care about anything with them in the future. It's you, Shen Jingyun, what kind of person are you? Even if you are a genius of the Shen family, you are still a junior! Even the geniuses of your Shen family and my generation don't dare to talk to me Lin Wu like this, let alone talk about my Lin family's affairs. And when I, Lin Wu, crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, who didn't know, I, Lin Wu, was a muddy person, and you made me uncomfortable today, do you think I would beat you? ”
