Chapter 122: Sports Enthusiast? (2)

New neighbor? Extreme sports enthusiast? Is this Lin Xinyu? Why didn’t she know he had this hobby?

While she was still thinking about this question, Lin Shuhao and Lin Xinyu walked in through the door.

“Mom, meet my new friend Lin Xinyu.” He turned to Lin Xinyu and said, “Sit down, I’ll get you a bottle of water.” With that, he took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Lin Xinyu.

Lin Xinyu took the water and politely greeted Father and Mother Lin. “Hello, Uncle, Aunt.”

Father Lin looked at him and asked, “Lin Xinyu of Yuchen Technology?”

Lin Xinyu nodded and smiled, saying, “Yes, Uncle.”

Father Lin nodded. “Yuchen’s great.” And then concentrated on eating.

Wang Changding got up and went to the living room to thank Lin Xinyu. The two men began to chat and Lin Shuhao joined their conversation. The three had a happy talk, one could hear intermittent bursts of laughter from the living room.

Lin Xin looked at Lin Shuhao and Lin Xinyu bonding and sourly asked, “Dad, are you sure you do not have an illegitimate child?”

Father Lin glared at her. “What are you thinking of this early in the morning? Eat!”

Lin Xin secretly cursed Lin Xinyu eight times in her heart. She took two more bites of Youtiao and ran upstairs to wash and change her clothes. The more she thought, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Was Lin Xinyu trying to break into their house? 

Thinking of her as a double, following her around in hopes of marrying her? 

When she thought about it, she felt sick. She was soft on him yesterday.

What on earth made me give him my phone number?

The more Lin Xin thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood in the room and shouted, “Lin Shuhao, you come up here.”

Lin Shuhao was stupefied, he didn’t know how he’d offended their little princess, causing her to lose her temper.

Father and Mother Lin looked at Lin Shuhao, saying, “Your sister called for you, you go up.”

Lin Shuhao didn’t feel like their firstborn, but a debtor. He smiled sheepishly at the two sitting beside him and said, “My sister called me. She’s not well, I’ll go up and have a look.”

He ran upstairs quickly and saw Lin Xin sitting on the bed. He asked, “What’s the matter, what made you so mad?”

Lin Xin patted her left. “Come and sit down. I have something to say to you.”

Thinking it was a big deal, Lin Shuhao dared not neglect to sit down and asked, “Say it.”

Lin Xin recounted to Lin Shuhao the several times she’d encountered Lin Xinyu, including the part in the car the day before but excluding the ‘stand-in’ part. This matter, originally kept secret, was divulged by Lin Xin. Lin Shuhao was even more on Lin Xin’s side, all the good impression that Lin Xinyu built was gone.

Lin Xinyu was a scum who stepped on several boats and still wanted to hit on his sister. We don’t need to keep such people around until the Chinese New year!

After listening to Lin Xin, Lin Shuhao went downstairs and said to Wang Changding that Lin Xin was looking for him. With Wang Changding out of the way, Lin Shuhao pulled Lin Xinyu to the study. Closing the door, Lin Shuhao bluntly asked, “You like my sister, don’t you?”

As if he knew he was going to ask, Lin Xinyu nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Xinxin told me all about how you’ve followed her around and cornered her in the car. She doesn’t care about you. Let it go. I hope there will be no next time. In two days, our parents will meet with her fiancé’s formally to fix the wedding date. I hope you won’t show up before her and my family in the future.”

Lin Xinyu stiffened. In a moment, his gentle eyes became cruel. He asked, “She told you everything?”

Lin Shuhao felt invisible murderous tentacles stroke his arms. Spooky! The soles of his feet chilled. He nodded. “She is my sister. She and I are the closest, naturally, Lin Xin tells me everything.”

Suddenly, Lin Xinyu grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the bookshelf. He grabbed him by the neck with one hand, hoping to break it.

The sudden impact struck Lin Shuhao dumb and he didn’t react for a while. Lin Xinyu let go and stood a meter away. Looking at him, he said, “I’m sorry, I was rude.”

This man is really sick, his sister needed to get as far away from him as possible.

He touched his neck. It felt like something was on it.

“Mr. Lin, goodbye. Don’t bother seeing me out.” He no longer feigned enthusiasm, cold as ice.

But before leaving, Lin Xinyu tilted his head slightly, saying, “Is Shuhao’s neck sore from sleeping off his pillow? Do you need me to rub it for you?” He stretched out his slender and immaculate right hand.

Lin Shuhao had a flash in his head and finally remembered what Lin Xinyu wanted to do for a moment when he grabbed his collar. He’d pinched his neck and tried to kill him!

No wonder he felt like there was something around his neck. He’s not insane, he’s a lunatic. If you don’t agree with him, he’ll go in for the kill.

Lin Shuhao looked at him nervously and secretly touched the ashtray.

Lin Xinyu smiled and said, “It seems that Shuhao’s neck is not feeling well, so we’ll make an appointment next time.” Then, raising his hand to his head, he gave a brief salute and went to the door.

Lin Shuhao breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly Lin Xinyu turned his head and said, “You siblings are so affectionate that you inspire envy.”

The ashtray, which had been put down, was picked up again, and Lin Shuhao timidly said, “That’s right.”

Lin Xinyu glanced at the ashtray in his hand, nodded to him again, and went out of the study.

Lin Shuhao breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly wondered if Lin Xinyu would go after his family. He rushed out and saw Lin Xinyu and Lin Xin run into each other at the top of the stairs.

Lin Xin was ready to go downstairs and hit Lin Xinyu on the shoulder. She glanced at him and said, “Can you stay away from me?”

Lin Xinyu took half a step back.

Lin Xin said, “Ten meters away.”

Father Lin heard his daughter’s voice and yelled, “Xinxin, is that how you speak?!”

Lin Xin didn’t hear, and went down the flight of stairs. She looked back at Lin Xinyu and saw that he was still standing at the top of the staircase. He really didn’t move, she thought.

When Lin Xinyu sensed her eyes on him, he raised his foot to head downstairs and secretly glanced at her. He heard her say, “Dad, Changding and I are going out.”

Lin Xinyu’s eyes fell on Wang Changding. A breeze blew under his (Wang Changding’s) feet. He went downstairs to say goodbye to Father and Mother Lin and left.

Lin Shuhao felt like he had stumbled upon a great secret. He felt that he should not talk to his sister so as to not to add to his troubles.
