That night.
Lin Shaowen got drunk for the first time, not because of how much he drank, but because everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk.
After Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li struggled to help him to the bed, Lou Xiao'e asked Yu Li, who had also drunk a lot, to go back. She undressed and wiped Lin Shaowen's body alone with her big belly.
When she wiped Lin Shaowen's face, she found some water stains, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
She didn't bother to wipe him anymore, she just lay next to him and hugged him hard.
Abu also jumped to Lin Shaowen's side and kept touching him with his paws.
"Shaowen, what's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Nothing." Lin Shaowen looked at the ceiling and sighed, "If we were in a village and you knew that a mudslide was about to come, would you tell the villagers?"
"Yes." Lou Xiao'e said without thinking.
"But if you tell them, they will say you are alarmist, and they will even beat you and insult you. Will you still say it?" Lin Shaowen asked again.
"I can also speak." Lou Xiao'e said firmly.
"What if...they will hurt your family?" Lin Shaowen whispered.
"Then let my family members hide first." Lou Xiao'e's eyes flashed.
"Hide?"
Lin Shaowen couldn't help but was stunned, and without saying a word, he started to pack Lou Xiao'e's things.
"Shaowen, what are you doing?" Lou Xiao'e was slightly startled.
"You go back to Lou's house to stay for a while. When things are over with me, I will take you back." Lin Shaowen said solemnly.
Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment, remembered the story told by Lin Shaowen, and understood it instantly. Although she was very reluctant to leave, she still didn't say that she wanted to stay. She just wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and silently helped him tidy up.
midnight.
Lou family mansion.
"Mom and Dad, Xiao Mo wants to come back and live for a while." Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile.
"Didn't you say you'd cut off all contact with us?" Lou Bancheng said with a straight face, "Why are you still licking your face and coming back now?"
"if not……"
Lou Xiao'e was about to say something, but was stopped by Lin Shaowen.
"Dad, how can father and daughter have an overnight feud? We were too impulsive last time. I apologize to you." Lin Shaowen lowered his head and said.
"Old Lou." Lou's mother shouted displeased.
"Okay, is there something missing?" Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e's belly and said, "With my temper, I will definitely not care about you anymore, but I don't want my grandson to suffer. Tell me what you want..."
"I'm not here to ask for anything from you, I just want Xiaomo to come back and stay for a while." Lin Shaowen shook his head.
"You can live here if you want. This is your home." Lou's mother smiled.
"Did...something happen?" Lou Bancheng asked inwardly.
"Dad, stop asking." Lou Xiao'e frowned.
Lin Shaowen lowered his head and said nothing.
When Lou Bancheng saw this, he immediately got up and went to the phone and made a call.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."
"Yes, yes, that's my boy. Is he causing trouble?"
"What? Someone above wants to deal with him?"
Lou Bancheng froze.
A long while.
"He's here...okay, okay, I'll let him answer the phone."
Lou Bancheng waved to Lin Shaowen and motioned for him to come over.
Lin Shaowen stood up in silence and came to the phone.
"Xiao Lin, how sure are you?"
Zhao Qingming's words made Lou Bancheng, who was hiding and eavesdropping, tremble.
"Not sure." Lin Shaowen said solemnly.
This is not false, he is really not sure.
Who knows if this time and space is the same as the historical process of his time and space? What if it is different?
"Then why did you do this?" Zhao Qingming's tone was calm.
"If it really happens, if we are unprepared, it will be a disaster." Lin Shaowen said bluntly.
Zhao Qingming fell into a long silence.
for a long time.
"Bi Yanjun sent the report up. Many people above were dissatisfied, but Bi Yanjun couldn't move. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhao Qingming said softly.
"I see."
Lin Shaowen's tone was firm.
It's just that the higher-ups want to find someone to take the blame, and they already know through channels that it was him who said this.
"Since you have determined what you are doing, then do it well." Zhao Qingming comforted, "Anyone who achieves great things will inevitably suffer a temporary failure. If you really can't handle it, just go to Qingshan and stay there."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Lin Shaowen said gratefully.
"I don't hope this is true, but I believe you." Zhao Qingming said with a bitter smile.
If possible, he would rather Lin Shaowen confuse the public with his lies.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, for causing you trouble." Lin Shaowen sighed.
"Um."
Zhao Qingming responded and immediately hung up the phone.
Lou Bancheng looked at Lin Shaowen with an unpredictable expression on his face.
After a while, he asked, "What exactly did you do? Why do people above want to deal with you?"
"Don't ask about this." Lin Shaowen shook his head.
"Don't ask? You and I are a family. If anything happens to you..."
"dad."
Lou Xiao'e shouted displeased, "If you force Shaowen again, I will follow him back now."
"you……"
Lou Bancheng almost vomited blood out of breath.
This daughter is really wasted.
"Xiao Mo, please stay here and don't worry about me."
Lin Shaowen opened the bag he was carrying, and Abu jumped out and fell on Lou Xiao'e.
"Ah, why did you bring it too?" Lou Xiao'e hugged Abu and said.
"What kind of cat is this? It's so beautiful." Mother Lou said in surprise.
"Shaowen specially asked someone to find the Ragdoll cat for me." Lou Xiao'e said with a happy face.
"You are so spoiled and willful."
Lou's mother stretched out her finger and tapped Lou Xiao'e's forehead, but a smile appeared on her face.
She could see that Lin Shaowen really loved Lou Xiao'e.
At the entrance of Lou's mansion.
"Shaowen, do you know the situation at our home?"
Lou Bancheng took out his cigarettes and handed one to him.
"Um."
Lin Shaowen responded.
"I don't want Xiaomo to get hurt. If necessary... I will let her divorce you." Lou Bancheng turned away and looked at the dark street, "I have lived in fear for the past ten years. I don't want her to divorce you." me too."
"I understand." Lin Shaowen nodded.
"As long as you understand."
Lou Bancheng threw away the cigarette butt, walked to the door, turned his head and said, "Shaowen, if one day comes... don't blame me."
"Dad, take good care of Xiaomo." Lin Shaowen smiled.
"I will."
Lou Bancheng closed the door.
Lin Shaowen stared at the Lou family mansion for a long time before riding his bicycle to the courtyard.
At the window.
Lou Xiao'e held Abu in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e, and then at her already sizable belly, his expression constantly changing.
"Old Lou..." Lou's mother shouted worriedly.
"Go and pack all the things in our house. If something happens to Lin Shaowen, we will leave immediately." Lou Bancheng gritted his teeth.
"Accident, what's the accident?" Lou's mother suddenly felt nervous.
"Why do women ask so many questions?" Lou Bancheng growled, "Hurry up and sort it out..."
Lou's mother glanced at Lou Xiao'e, who was still standing at the window, sighed, and walked toward the house.
