166: If I look at you again, will I still feel the same?

“Where is that Lao Bi Deng now?”

After reading several outrageous documents, Lin Xuan casually picked up a pen and began writing on one of the contracts.

At the same time, he raised his head expressionlessly and asked the housekeeper, Liu Juan.

“He’s at the Su Family Manor gate. He originally tried to force his way in, but the security personnel stopped him.”

“Take this trash back and then make that Lao Bi Deng leave! I don’t want to see him.”

After getting the answer, Lin Xuan stuffed all the contracts in his hand back to Liu Juan.

He had no interest in meeting Lin Jianjun at all.

Even if the other party offered to unconditionally transfer 55% of his shares to him, it was the same.

Of course, on the surface, it seemed unconditional.

But if Lin Xuan were to actually take over, he would have to publicly restore his father-son relationship with the other party.

Wouldn’t that be worse than killing him?!

Having finally severed ties with the other party, Lin Xuan would not be foolish enough to get himself into trouble again.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to get out again.

He would rather spend tens of billions more to buy shares than to acknowledge such a scumbag Daddy again!

“Yes!” Liu Juan nodded calmly.

She had actually expected this outcome, and left the room holding a pile of contracts.

“Onii-chan~~”

“Your Daddy is so… that! Such a big person still calls himself Daddy? I’m not that cheesy, at most I call him Daddy~~”

Lin Xuan: “…”

It seems like your… isn’t much better, is it?!

You two are six of one, half a dozen of the other, a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

“╮(╯_╰)╭ Whatever! Anyway, I’ve already cut ties with him. Whatever he does has nothing to do with me?!”

Lin Xuan spread his hands, indicating that he loved no one but his wife, and didn't care what happened.

He truly didn't care about the lives of Lin Jianjun's family.

As for the shares in his hand, someone would naturally reclaim them on his behalf.

However, in Chen Kexin's eyes… Lin Xuan at this moment was just pretending to be strong.

How could anyone not feel sad after falling out with their biological father?

Even the most cold and heartless person would surely have a side that yearns for family affection.

“Stop pretending, Onii-chan~~”

“I know you must be feeling very sad right now, just pretending to be strong.”

“If you want to cry, just cry! Don’t hold it in! I’ll keep your secret, I definitely won’t tell anyone.”

“Come, I’ll lend you my embrace. Just for today, please cry your heart out!!!”

“…”

Chen Kexin stared at Lin Xuan with sympathetic and pitying eyes.

Then she opened her arms, revealing her modest embrace, signaling Lin Xuan to cry into her arms.

“Enough already! It’s all ribs, I’m afraid it’ll be uncomfortable.”

“Besides, three years is the minimum, death penalty is the maximum. I always keep my distance from minors.”

Facing Chen Kexin’s self-delusion.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and retorted casually.

“(－＂－ anger) What did you say?!”

“I’m exactly eighteen this year, where did ‘minor’ come from? No, what’s with the ‘ribs’ comment?”

“That’s slander! w(ﾟДﾟ)w, an attack on my character, this place is clearly all flesh, look closely!!!”

“…”

Ignoring Chen Kexin’s tantrum.

Lin Xuan stepped to the bedside and once again held the young girl’s small hand.

His voice was gentle as he asked:

“Qingge, do you want to continue with the riddles we were playing?”

Facing Lin Xuan’s question, Su Qingge felt inexplicably touched.

Like Chen Kexin, she also believed that Lin Xuan must be feeling sad and pained after cutting ties with his family.

Yet, to take care of her feelings, he was still pretending to be strong, trying hard to appear as if nothing had happened.

He even played games with her to cheer her up, trying to keep her from feeling bored.

Lin Xuan, he really… I’m so touched I could cry. Ծ ‸ Ծ

But Su Qingge didn't know how to comfort him at the moment… (ﾉ”◑ ◑)ﾉ”(｡•́︿•̀｡)

After all, in her current state, she couldn't even get up to give him a warm hug.

“Qingge? Did you hear me?”

“You haven’t beaten me in the game yet! Do you want to continue?”

At this moment, Lin Xuan’s urging voice came again.

But now Su Qingge had no desire to compete with him.

【┗( ´・∧・｀)┛. I surrender.】

【I admit defeat (o_ _)ﾉ, you win. I’m not as good as you, you’re smarter than me!】

Ah… what?!

Su Qingge actually ┗( 0﹏0 )┛ surrendered?

Lin Xuan’s mouth slightly opened, his face full of surprise.

He was clearly very shocked by the young girl’s choice.

Her personality was very proud.

No matter what she did, she had an unyielding attitude; getting her to surrender voluntarily was practically impossible.

Just as Lin Xuan was still in shock… Su Qingge continued to write, trying to comfort Lin Xuan with words.

【Men, cry, cry, it’s not a sin.】

【I can feel your sorrow, Lin Xuan, I can see the bitter tears in your heart.】

【If you’re sad… you don’t have to pretend to be strong, shedding a few tears isn’t shameful.】

【Your father is now actively seeking peace with you, which means he knows he was wrong. As long as you train him well in the future, I believe he can become the father you envision.】

【I’ve studied psychology and know how to subtly change a person. If you need help, I’ll assist you.】

...Uh (⊙o⊙)... Qingge, you should spend less time with that little demon girl!

Look, you've completely caught her imaginative infection.

No, ┌(.Д.)┐ is psychology that terrifying?

It can even subtly change a person!!!

Qingge, you wouldn't be doing that to me too... No, no!

It seems I also need to find time to study some psychology, otherwise, I won't even know when Qingge has PUA'd me... Lin Xuan muttered to himself. Σ(⊙▽⊙"a.

However, he also knew that Su Qingge and the other girl were worried about him, and their intentions were good after all.

So, to get the somewhat “heavy” atmosphere back on track.

Lin Xuan got up, went to the corner, picked up the golden guitar, and turned to look at the little loli, saying:

“Ke Xin. Didn’t you spend 200,000 last time and weren’t satisfied with that song ‘Little Garden’?”

“Tell me! What style of song do you want? I’ll make you another one!”

Upon hearing this.

Chen Kexin’s attention was immediately captured.

She also recalled the previous catchy song “Wā ya wā ya wā~~” (dig, dig, dig).

After a moment of silence, the little loli o(*^▽^*)┛ raised her hand, indicating she wanted to hear a song with a more alternative style.

Alternative?

Lin Xuan tilted his head in thought, finally settling on a song in his mind.

He held the golden guitar, directly bent his knees and sat on the hospital bed, turned his head to glance at the stunning sleeping girl, and asked with a smile:

“Qingge, are you ready? I’m about to start~~”

【Mm, go for it.】

Su Qingge responded silently in her heart.

She could feel Lin Xuan sitting beside her, tuning the strings… 【I really wish I could see Lin Xuan play with my own eyes!】

【But one day, I'll definitely be able to see it! I have a feeling it'll be soon.】

【For some reason, I can feel the dark cage that binds me accelerating its collapse, as if some power within my body is awakening.】

【Speaking of which! Lin Xuan seemed to have said last time… he would sing a song just for me on our wedding night, a song exclusively for me.】

【Isn’t that tomorrow? I’m suddenly a little excited…】

...Su Qingge’s heart stirred with emotion.

For her, who once dreamed of becoming a musician but had to give up her dream for various reasons… Lin Xuan’s musical talent filled her with admiration.

She even harbored the thought of eventually becoming Lin Xuan’s disciple and having him teach her music if given the opportunity.

If she had the chance… she also wanted to fulfill her musical dream.

And just as Su Qingge lay quietly on the hospital bed, her mind wandering… a song like a bird’s chirp in the morning sun echoed in her ears.

Accompanied by the melodious guitar strings, it was so clear, gentle, and moving… “It’s another quiet night~~”

“Curled up alone in a rocking chair, enjoying the cool breeze~~”

“I admit it’s truly peaceful like this~~”

“Just like the old grandpa downstairs, Yeah~~”

...Golden sunlight streamed down, Lin Xuan bathed in the radiance, beautiful beyond compare.

He cradled the guitar, his fingertips dancing on the strings.

The leaping notes were like heartbeats, the light rhythm like a pulse, echoing through the room.

Coupled with the direct and concise lyrics.

In just a few lines, it painted a picture of youthful stirrings, as if taking people back to the beautiful past of their first love.

Just the opening lines completely captivated Su Qingge.

As the song played, she felt as if she was watching a campus-era movie… In the scene.

A pair of innocent young men and women appear, experiencing the first stirrings of love, developing a nascent affection for each other.

But as time went on, the two gradually had conflicts and arguments.

Especially under the curse of the “graduation season, breakup season,” they naturally lost contact.

When they met again many years later… everything had changed.

The girl had drawn on mature eyeliner and smoothed on adult foundation.

Even face-to-face, they couldn’t rekindle the childhood excitement, unable to share or express their truest joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness.

The boy and girl who once had innocent feelings now only had superficial pleasantries left.

The past drifted away with the wind, only memories remained… Just like this, Su Qingge cast aside all distractions.

Listening carefully, feeling the faint regret in the song, as if afraid to miss a single second.

【Simple lyrics, yet they can bring such a strong auditory experience.】

【This song is entirely the benchmark for contemporary alternative music.】

【I have to admit, Lin Xuan is a bit of a prodigy.】

【He can continuously create so many songs of different styles, as if it comes effortlessly to him.】

【If reason didn’t tell me it was impossible, I might even think… Lin Xuan came from the future?!】

【That’s why he can simply be a plagiarist, presenting musical works far beyond this era to the world.】

...Shocked by Lin Xuan's talent, a ridiculous guess occasionally flashed through Su Qingge's mind as she was lost in thought.

However, due to its absurdity, she quickly dismissed it.

On the other side, Lin Xuan was still singing passionately… “If I see you again~~”

“Will I still feel something~~”

“Back then, with a bare face~~ as pure as could be~~”

“No mature eyeliner drawn~~”

“No need to smooth on foundation~~”

“Rainy days~~ still went shopping~~”

“Secretly laughing at others whose makeup ran~~”

...At the foot of the hospital bed.

Chen Kexin squatted in the corner, her cherry-red mouth wide open, deeply shocked.

She hadn’t expected that with just a casual mention of an alternative style.

Lin Xuan could create such a heavenly song according to her request.

The singing was as clear as crystal, completely captivating Chen Kexin.

This damned talent, it’s too heaven-defying!!!

Every lyric, every note seemed to exude a unique charm, making one involuntarily captivated by the singer's talent and gifts.

For example, Chen Kexin at this moment… She stared blankly at the young man immersed in his singing and playing.

His features were sculpted, with distinct angles.

His deep eyes, like black jewels, radiated a captivating mystery.

His nose bridge was high, exceptionally handsome.

Those thin lips, opening and closing, curved into a confident and warm arc.

When he smiled, his pearly white teeth sparkled, reminding one of ~your Yida~~~

Handsome!

Too handsome!!!

His looks could beat Daniel Wu and kick Eddie Peng.

At one point.

Chen Kexin suddenly clutched her modest chest; she felt a momentary infatuation.

But the next second, the little loli quickly grabbed her twin ponytails and pulled back.

Tear~~~

The pulling pain instantly sobered her, and she entered sage mode.

She clasped her hands together, sitting cross-legged, like the posture of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Oh my god~~~

Male beauty is fierce like a tiger, all are mere rosy-cheeked skeletons~~~

A sin, a sin~~~

As a straight girl, I cannot be turned.

My lifelong love is only Qingge jiejie.

Men are smelly and dirty, how can they compare to sweet-smelling, soft, cute girls~~~

And Chen Kexin’s strange behavior immediately drew Lin Xuan’s puzzled gaze.

Just listen to the song!

What kind of stunt is this little demon girl pulling now?

However, considering that the other party was a chuunibyou patient, occasional brain glitches were normal.

Lin Xuan didn’t pay attention and continued to sing and play… “If I see you again~~”

“Will I still feel something~~”

“The truest joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness~~ all buried in yesterday~~”

“Without any pretense~~”

“Those tumultuous years~~”

“I miss them~~ don’t miss them~~”

“Missing~~ but can’t go back to the past~~~”

Just as Lin Xuan was charming girls with his “plagiarist” skill… at the Su Family Manor gate.

Lin Jianjun had long grown impatient, pacing back and forth anxiously.

“Why isn’t that unfilial son Lin Xuan coming out to greet me? Could it be that he hasn’t forgiven me?”

“But I’ve already apologized proactively, what more does he want from me?”
