Lin Weiming graduated from the Law Department of Jinling University in the last century. While in school, he met his then lover Xia Shurong, and eventually became one of the only three couples in their class to get married.
However, this relationship did not go as smoothly as his career later, and the existence of his two daughters failed to maintain the disintegrated family.
Compared with the first relationship experience, the subsequent remarriage was more like a compromise to make up for her daughter's lack of maternal love. Zhu Yu's biological mother also had a personality that put work before life, and the couple maintained a cold and respectful attitude towards each other.
So the barrister who owned his own firm became a bachelor twice, after one of the parties grew tired of the partnership style.
When the mother ran away, he took over the responsibility of raising his stepson. However, the blow of two failed marriages also caused the middle-aged man to give up all thoughts on love and devote all his energy to work. .
"...So sometimes I may neglect to talk to you two, especially after something like this happened."
The sound of rushing water came from the kitchen, and two girls were handling the ingredients for the hot pot.
In fact, Zhu Yu felt that Lin Suicao should not be put in, but by the time he regained his footing with the help of Xia Fenghe and his consciousness returned to clarity, they had already run away hand in hand.
He and his stepfather were left sitting opposite each other in the living room.
Lin Weiming lost his usual sharp wit in court and touched his hair, which had become thinner with his rich career.
"It's my fault this time. Coming out of nowhere must have irritated you now."
He probably thought that Zhu Yu's previous reaction was because of seeing him.
Not really, sorry.
Zhu Yu thought about the memory he had just recovered, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart.
At least to him at that time, Lin Weiming, who was not often at home, was more like a kind person who took him in, rather than a parent.
Therefore, when asking Lin Suicao about the other party, Zhu Yu did not receive any strong stimulation - the same was true when he saw him appear.
But it cannot be said that it was caused by your daughter suddenly calling her brother.
Lin Weiming took his stepson's silence as the patient's self-digestion and continued: "Two days ago, I just took on a case from another place and couldn't get away from it. Suicao told me that according to the doctor's advice, it is best not to call you casually... …”
In fact, there should be no such medical order.
He also remembered the other party's contact information, which was indeed different from what Lin Suicao had given him before.
"It's okay, Uncle Lin."
Zhu Yu had already recalled the way he addressed each other in the past, "I didn't have any big problems."
He deliberately used a relaxed tone: "It's Suicao. She's eating junk food alone at home. You have to talk about her."
Everyone who has brothers or sisters in the family is bound to master the art of changing the topic to divert trouble from others.
There was a muffled "thunk" sound from the kitchen, followed by Xia Fenghe's panicked voice.
"Then, that piece of meat is reaching its limit. If it doesn't work, it will split!"
What kind of situation would lead to the above description?
While Zhu Yu was curious about the taboo knowledge, Lin Weiming smiled happily: "You have always been more stable than her, and I am actually quite worried about this. There was an accident this time, so don't worry about things that you can't remember for the time being. How is the school going? Should I postpone my re-study for a while..."
He avoided talking about interpersonal problems. Zhu Yu, who had no problem with this part of his memory, also answered questions fluently, proving that he could return to society.
Xia Fenghe's yelling kept coming from the kitchen, and occasionally Lin Weiming would stop the conversation and listen.
"I didn't expect Feng He to come today. She is Suicao's sister, but she is with her mother."
He looked at Zhu Yu with some disappointment, "It's a good thing for you young people to keep in touch with each other. She and I are very close now."
Judging from this sentence, he seemed not to know that Xia Fenghe was also hospitalized some time ago.
Just like Xia Shurong didn't know his existence.
Father Lin's return home was unexpected. The case he was representing was still in the process of litigation. He just happened to need to go back to the office to pick up some documents, and he had the idea of taking a look at Zhu Yu and his daughter who had been discharged from the hospital.
So after sitting for a while, he prepared to leave with some guilt.
"I'm going to the law firm."
In the kitchen, Lin Suicao leaned out and said, "I know, and my sister will sleep with me today."
"Have you told your mother?"
Lin Suicao nodded.
Behind her, Xia Fenghe timidly poked his head out from the edge of the door frame: "Goodbye...Dad."
She is not really stupid, she has naturally figured out the relationship between the characters.
"I'm leaving first. Suicao take care of your brother - or try not to let him be busy taking care of you."
"Come on, we're not going to leave any food for you."
Lin Weiming laughed and said goodbye to his eldest daughter, and then messed up Zhu Yu's hair.
The moment the door closed, the room suddenly became quiet.
Lin Suicao crossed his right hand across his chest and pressed it on the middle of his left arm, assuming a defensive posture.
She turned away, her lead-colored hair flowing down her shoulders.
Compared with the restored part of the memory, the length seems to have grown a bit.
Xia Fenghe didn't know when he started wearing a light yellow apron. At this time, he lifted the front hem to wipe his wet hands and looked left and right in confusion.
She didn't quite understand why the two of them suddenly fell into silence.
Isn't it just that I have an extra sister? Who hasn’t?
How come you were so frightened that you fell down? It's embarrassing.
"I remembered some memories from before high school, related to you..."
Zhu Yu looked at her fair skin, tall and small nose, and pale pink lips like cherry blossoms.
There was once still stained with the liquid flowing out of his body, and the palm of my hand ached again at the thought of it.
"...Why are you still biting?"
As a result, what I originally wanted to say was the brother-sister relationship between them relying on each other and supporting each other, but when the words came out, it turned out to be like this.
Maybe compared to those beautiful things, the quarrel with her would be more unforgettable.
Lin Suicao fell into deep thought: "Because someone pushed me down and controlled my hands and feet. I didn't know what to do."
"Have you ever done such a thing?!"
"She was the one who made the first move! That's not right, we were just fighting!"
"Well, in his bed, it's still daytime."
She looked at her shocked sister and added.
"I want to explain that she broke into other people's rooms first -"
"I see. Is this why you lifted up the clothes of a girl who was two years younger than you and put your hand inside, making me exhausted?"
"Let's eat first..."
Xia Fenghe troubledly interrupted the session where the two were settling old scores.
Her face looked a little downcast.
