"Oh —" As soon as Lin Shen finished speaking, Tao Ran had already started to jeer.

He elbowed Mo Juechen, who was sitting beside him. "Just now … at the hot spring …"

Xu Chen glanced at Shen Lin Shen and chuckled.

Among the three of them, he was the one that Lin Shen was most familiar with. He was a straight-A student who seemed to be very serious in his work and had a plan.

Then, Lin Shen watched as Xu Chen reached out for his wallet.

At least ten red Grandpa Mao notes were pulled out and placed in front of Tao Ran. "You must accept your loss."

Lin Shen:???

Tao Ran laughed and put away the notes. "Thank you, Chen Ge. Thank you, Lin Shen. Yes, thank you, Big Boss!"

He winked at Mo Juechen. "I'll treat you and Lin Shen to a meal later."

Lin Shen: "…"

Wait a minute!

Why was there a bet in this?

And Tao Ran and Xu Chen were betting on something like this?

Were the two of them that bored?!

He was a little speechless.

Lin Shen had almost never played truth or dare with friends of the same age.

In the past, his life had been filled with learning and studying.

He really couldn't relax for even a minute if he wanted to catch up with Big Brother Genius.

Not to mention games, he didn't even participate in the famous dormitory night talk after he entered university.

He had heard that boys would not only talk about girls, but they would also talk about perverted topics.

But Lin Shen didn't expect this.

Forget about Tao Ran, but Xu Chen looked so serious!

The two of them actually bet on him.

And it was over this kind of thing!

Lin Shen's face turned red.

"Sigh, it's a pity that Big Boss didn't want to bet."

Tao Ran sighed and complained to Lin Shen, "Otherwise, I would have treated you to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast."

Thank you so much!

Lin Shen only felt that his stomach was full of complaints.

But for a moment, he didn't know where to begin.

He stared blankly at Tao Ran and then at Xu Chen.

Finally, his gaze landed on Mo Juechen's face.

The other party's bright eyes were still looking at him.

When his eyes, which were as deep as the night sky, met Lin Shen's gaze, there seemed to be a flash of a smile.

Then, Mo Juechen cleared his throat and picked up the poker cards. "Let's continue."

"Continue, continue!" Tao Ran prepared to continue dealing out the cards.

Lin Shen was a little restless.

He actually quite enjoyed this relaxed atmosphere.

To be able to relax and play such games with friends of the same age.

This was something he had never experienced before.

However, he was also a little nervous. He had only played a few rounds, and the problem was already so explosive.

If he continued to play …

Would he be able to withstand it?

While his thoughts were running wild, the poker cards were once again dealt in front of Lin Shen.

Before he could open it, his cell phone rang.

Lin Shen answered the phone in a panic.

He had just revealed his dirty thoughts in front of a few classmates, and now he received a call from his brother.

He felt a little guilty.

"Shen Shen, are you still not coming back?"

Lin Yuan's voice, no matter when he heard it, was like a spring breeze. "Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come back for supper."

He chuckled and reminded Lin Shen, "Although I know you must be having fun with your classmates, today is your family day. Mom has asked you several times."

"Yes, yes." Lin Shen nodded quickly. "I'll be back soon."

He hung up the phone and looked at the other three apologetically. "My brother asked me to go back. Mom and Dad are waiting for me. You guys have fun."

After Lin Shen finished speaking, he didn't even have time to flip the last card. He stood up and almost ran away.

His face was still hot from just now.

It wasn't until the cool night breeze brushed against his face that he felt his heartbeat gradually slow down.

After Lin Shen left.

Mo Juechen reached out and flipped the card in front of him.

This time, Lin Shen actually got the smallest ace of diamonds in the game.

"What a pity, Boss …" Tao Ran smiled mysteriously.

He reached out and grabbed Mo Juechen's card and flipped it over.

Two of spades, the second smallest.

"This time, Lin Shen can't escape from dare." Tao Ran smiled. "Princess carry, kiss … Are you looking forward to it?"

"Haha." Mo Juechen curved his lips.

Without one person, the game would be meaningless.

He stood up and walked to the other side of the game room. He sat down in front of the independent game console and called out to Xu Chen. "Want to play a round?"

"Boss." Tao Ran followed him.

He leaned behind Mo Juechen and asked, "What do you think of that Lin Shen?"

Tao Ran was definitely the most gossipy among them. "Now it's basically confirmed that Lin Shen likes you very much. What about you?"

"I think he's quite interesting." Mo Juechen replied casually.

"Tsk …" Tao Ran couldn't help but say, "You think he's interesting, so you're fighting bulls. You even memorized the example book for him. Now you're even following him to the gathering place.

Boss, you've changed!

You weren't like this before! "

"Haha." Mo Juechen laughed again.

He was already focused on the TV screen and didn't answer Tao Ran's question.

"What a pity …" Xu Chen, who hadn't spoken much, sat down on the other sofa.

He picked up the controller and pushed up his glasses. "If Lin Shen hadn't left in a hurry, Boss would've been able to say goodbye to his first kiss today. To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it.

I just don't know if Lin Shen's first kiss is still there. "

Mo Juechen's face instantly darkened.

"Hahahaha."

Tao Ran laughed unscrupulously. "Say, if Lin Shen kissed Boss and found out that he's really a rookie in this area with zero kissing skills, would he be disappointed?

Or would he be happy? "

Mo Juechen's face darkened even more.

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, Lin Shen had already returned to the villa that the Lin Family had booked.

Rong Chu personally brought her two sons and her husband to a corner of the villa's garden to set up a metal barbecue grill.

The hotel's housekeeper delivered skewers of barbecue and fresh fruit juice.

When Lin Shen arrived, the aroma of food had already filled the garden.

He looked at the bustling scene in front of him and was really a little shocked!

In terms of status, his mother, Rong Chu, was definitely a rich lady.

At this moment, Rong Chu was wearing a simple dark gray sweater, jeans, and white sneakers.

Her wavy hair was casually tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head and swayed with her movements.

Their father, Lin Shuxing, looked serious and dignified as the CEO of the Lin Group.

He and Rong Chu were wearing matching sweaters.

They were also wearing casual dark blue jeans and sneakers.

His sleeves were rolled up to his arms and he was standing by the side with a smile on his face as he served his wife.

Lin Yuan and Lin Che were naturally wearing the same dark gray sweater and jeans.

Hearing Lin Shen's footsteps, Rong Chu looked up first. "Xiao Shen, you're back. Come over quickly!"

She smiled brightly. "Your brother said that you'll be back soon. Mom specially saved some chicken wings for you."

As she spoke, she extended her arm and handed the chicken wing that had been roasted until it was golden brown to Lin Shen.

"Thank … Thank you, Mom." Lin Shen took the chicken wings.

The chicken wings were roasted just right. The chicken skin was slightly brown and looked oily. It was especially appetizing.

"Xiao Shen." Before Lin Shen could take a bite of the chicken wings, a white porcelain plate was placed in front of him.

There was a string of shiitake mushrooms and a string of pork ribs on the plate.

Lin Shuxing smiled and said to him, "These two are for you."

"Uh …" Lin Shen stared blankly at Lin Shuxing.

His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and he smiled casually and gently.

"Thank … Thank you, Dad." Lin Shen took the plate.

"Brother!" Lin Che simply hung his arm over his brother's shoulder.

"I'll give you half of the corn."

He really took half of the corn from the skewer in his hand and placed it on Lin Shen's plate. "I just roasted it. The temperature is just right. It's very fragrant!

Try it. "

"… Thank you, Xiao Che." Lin Shen looked at the half of the corn on the plate.

To be honest, it was a little overcooked. A few rows of corn kernels looked a little burnt.

However, the tantalizing aroma of the roasted corn wafted in the air. Lin Shen felt that he had never smelled such a nice aroma in his life.

"Hey, Brother!"

Lin Che saw Lin Shen staring at the corn and quickly said, "This … seems a little burnt."

Lin Che said a little embarrassedly, "I'll roast another one for you."

"No need." Lin Shen smiled.

He took half of the corn and opened his mouth wide to take a big bite.

"It's just right!" Lin Shen didn't care about table manners anymore.

It was just a BBQ supper, wasn't it?

With his mouth full of fragrant corn kernels, he smiled at Lin Che and said, "It's super fragrant!"

Lin Shen said as he held the half of the corn.

As if he was starving, he began to eat in big bites.

He ate very quickly.

Because his nose was a little sore.

Not only was his nose a little sore, but his eyes were also a little hot and swollen.

It was as if tears would fall uncontrollably if he stopped eating.

Lin Shen wanted to laugh.

If he played truth or dare again, he would get the most recent tearful draw.

Then he might say, "Yes, I'm eating the corn that my younger brother roasted personally while holding the mushrooms and chicken wings and ribs that my parents roasted personally."

Then he would cry.

Lin Yuan, who had been roasting quietly, watched the interaction between his two younger brothers. He smiled and shook his head gently.

"Shen Shen." Seeing Lin Shen eat the corn in a few bites, Lin Yuan called him, "Come and roast it together."

"Okay." Lin Shen obeyed and walked to his older brother's side.

The other party made room for him next to the barbecue rack.

Actually, it was just watching the fire and occasionally turning it over.

Lin Yuan stood side by side with him. Looking at the food on the barbecue rack, he asked in a low voice, "Did you have fun with your classmates?"

"Yes." Lin Shen nodded.

"That's good." Lin Yuan's smile was still gentle.

Lin Shen was holding a plate with one hand and gnawing on a chicken wing.

"How are your preparations for next week's competition going?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"It's okay." Lin Shen answered vaguely.

Lin Yuan seemed to want to say something, but Rong Chu, who was happily roasting the chicken wings, suddenly turned her head.

"Little Yuan!"

Rong Chu's beautiful eyes moved, and a small dimple appeared on her cheek as she smiled. "Family Day, don't talk about work and studies. You're being punished!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders. "It's my fault."

"Xiao Shen, come here!"

Rong Chu said as she handed over a skewer of cooked chili. "Super invincible overlord chili. Feed your brother!

Punish him! "

"Hahahaha." Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh as he took the chili.

He really hadn't been so relaxed and happy in a long time.

"Shen Shen, don't!"

Lin Yuan shrank back and blinked at Lin Shen. "You won't be so cruel to your brother, right?"

"This …" Lin Shen looked at their mother awkwardly.

"Xiao Shen, go!

Mom will make the decision for you!

Don't be afraid of your brother! "Rong Chu cheered him on." Hmph!

No one can escape from the family rules! "

"Lin Yuan." Lin Shuxing also laughed. "Accept your punishment."

Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh again.

There were several small pieces of green chili on the skewer.

Although they were cooked, they looked like they were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. It was indeed a little scary.

Lin Shen lowered his head and took a bite of one.

It was a little spicy, but it was actually okay.

"Brother!"

Lin Shen put the chili to Lin Yuan's mouth. "Be good and listen to me. Mom is watching you!"

"Okay, okay!" Lin Yuan took a deep breath and ate the rest of the chili in one go.

"Oh!" He sighed exaggeratedly. "So spicy, so spicy!"

Lin Yuan said as he gave two thumbs up to Rong Chu, who was smiling and squinting her eyes. "Hot mom is invincible!"

"Hahahaha." Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh again.

The young man's clear and pleasant laughter echoed in the villa.

He never knew that he had such a low threshold for laughter and tears.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he washed up and lay on the bed.

Lin Shen felt that all of this was like a dream.

A warm family.

A family that was warmer than the warm sun in spring.

Lin Shen hugged the blanket tightly and buried his head in Shenshen.

The soft blanket was full of the smell of sunshine.

Just like his mood at the moment.

Lin Shen didn't even know when he fell asleep.

It was probably because he was in a good mood and his whole body was relaxed.

He slept until nine o 'clock in the morning the next day.

"Shenshen?" He had just opened his eyes when Lin Yuan's voice came along with a knock on the door. "Are you awake?"

"Oh." Lin Shen hurriedly turned over and got out of bed.

He quickly changed into a dark gray sweater and jeans of the same series as Rong Chu and the others.

Then, he casually scratched his head and opened the door for Lin Yuan.

"Hurry up and wash up, then go down and have breakfast." His brother was wearing the same sweater as him and stood at the door with a smile.

Lin Yuan must have just exercised. His face was slightly red, and his hair was slightly sweaty. He looked particularly energetic. "I'll go call Xiao Che. There's still a program today."

"Okay." Lin Shen nodded.

For the rest of the day.

He went to climb the mountain with the Lin family again.

At Rong Chu's request, the whole family even went to play forest leaps.

Everyone, including Lin Shuxing, wore safety helmets and leaped through the dense forest and mountain streams.

The laughter and exclamations of the Lin Family echoed happily in the mountains.

That night, they had a big meal at the hot spring hotel.

Only then did the Lin Family Day end.

When they returned home in the city, it was already eleven o 'clock in the morning.

"I'm super happy today!" Rong Chu stretched. "Sons, rest early."

She and her husband stood on the stairs and turned to blow kisses to her three sons. "Mommy loves you."

"I love you too." Lin Che immediately said, "I love you very much!

I love you the most!

I love you as much as I love Daddy! "

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yuan and Lin Shen. "I love you as much as I love my two brothers!"

Lin Shuxing, who had returned home, looked like a serious and noble middle-aged successful man.

When he heard this, he smiled at his three sons. "Daddy loves you too. Of course, I also love your mommy the most."

"Dad, Mom," Lin Yuan said with a light smile, "I love you, I love my brothers, and I love this family even more."

The four of them had already finished speaking. Only Lin Shen was still standing silently at the side.

He was completely dumbfounded!

He didn't expect that at the end of the Family Day, there would be such a scene.

Between family members, was it possible to speak of "love" so openly like this?

Lin Shen raised his head and looked at the Lin couple who were looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Rong Chu, in particular, looked at him with a warm, loving, and expectant gaze.

He turned his head stiffly.

His brothers were also looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Lin Yuan's gaze was still so gentle.

His younger brother, the sunny boy Lin Che, had a clear and bright gaze.

Lin Shen: "…"

He opened his mouth, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat.

It was as if he was holding an olive pit in his mouth. It was heavy and astringent, but he couldn't say a word.

No one urged him, and no one seemed impatient.

Even Lin Shuxing, who looked the most serious, just waited patiently on the stairs.

"I …"

It seemed like a long time had passed, or maybe it was just a short while.

Lin Shen finally opened his mouth again and said in a hoarse voice, "I love you too …"

For many things, the most difficult thing was to take the first step.

After saying the most difficult sentence, the thing that was stuck in Lin Shen's throat seemed to have disappeared.

He slowly exhaled, looked up at Rong Chu, and said, "I love Mom and Dad."

Then he turned to look at Lin Yuan, and then at Lin Che, and said, "I love my brothers too."

Lin Shen wanted to cry a little, but he quickly blinked his eyes and wiped away the tears.

She blinked away her tears, "And … I love this family so much!"

"Mom also loves Xiao Shen very much!" Rong Chu smiled and blew another kiss at Lin Shen.

"Good son, go to sleep!"

She thought for a moment, looked at her husband and two other sons, and said, "Okay!

Family Day is over!

So I can say it now. "

"Xiao Shen!

Good luck for the competition! "

"Thank you, Mom …"

Lin Shen responded softly.

He didn't dare to stay any longer.

He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would really cry.

In fact, he wasn't a child who liked to cry.

From a very young age, Lin Shen was taught that tears were the most useless thing, except to show one's weakness!

Moreover, this was supposed to be a warm and happy family.

But his nose was sour again and again, and his eyes were always warm.

As a result, Lin Shen felt like he was floating in the clouds for the rest of the weekend.

In a trance, Monday arrived.

In the new week, there would be a preliminary competition for mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

From Monday to Friday, there would be a competition every other day.

The last competition would be next Sunday afternoon.

Lin Shen left the house very early.

Lin Che hadn't woken up yet, but he had already left the house in the morning light.

Mo Juechen had called him half an hour ago to wake him up and ask him to wait for him at the street garden not far from the school gate.

The phone call was so mysterious that Lin Shen didn't know what Mo Juechen was trying to do.

Riding his mountain bike, he sped towards the place where he had agreed to meet with Mo Jue City.

Because it was still too early, there weren't many people on the street. Even the shops on both sides of the street weren't open yet.

Lin Shen's house wasn't far from the school.

He rode past a few streets, and after two more turns, he would arrive at the garden where he and Mo Juechen were supposed to meet.

At this moment, the roar of motorcycle engines suddenly came from behind Lin Shen.

The sound was especially loud, and in the quiet city streets in the morning, it was especially ear-piercing.

Lin Shen heard that the sound wasn't far from him, so he subconsciously moved his mountain bike to the side of the road.

Sure enough, just as he moved aside, two motorcycles whizzed past him.

There were two people on each motorcycle.

After they passed by Lin Shen, they didn't continue forward.

The motorcycles suddenly turned around, and after a small half circle, the two motorcycles stopped in front of Lin Shen.

Lin Shen immediately became vigilant.

The street he was on wasn't very wide, and there were high walls on both sides of the street.

There weren't any doors or shops on this street.

It was still too early, and Singshang College wasn't located in the downtown area.

At this time, almost no one would pass by here.

After the two motorcycles turned around, they completely blocked Lin Shen's path.

Lin Shen subconsciously turned around.

Behind him, two motorcycles also stopped in the middle of the road, blocking his path of retreat.

There were also four people on the two motorcycles.

So there were a total of eight people.

Lin Shen's eyes quickly scanned the area.

Although the eight people were riding on motorcycles, they definitely didn't look like weaklings.

Even if they were weaklings, he wouldn't be much better off.

One against eight, he would definitely lose!

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Shen's mind.

Kidnapping?

Blackmail?

Or ….. related to the secret of the Lord himself?

Lin Shen forced himself to remain calm.

He turned around and looked at the two motorcycles in front of him.

"Who are you?" He asked calmly, "Why are you looking for me?"

The motorcyclist on the left in front of him seemed to chuckle, "You don't need to know who we are."

As he spoke, he stepped out with his long legs and got off with another person on his motorcycle.

The people on the other motorcycles also got off.

Eight people!

Eight young men who looked taller and stronger than Lin Shen, wearing motorcycle uniforms and helmets, surrounded Lin Shen just like that.

Lin Shen's palms were sweating as he gripped the handle of the motorcycle.

Were these people here for money?

Or …..

"Hey!"

The motorcyclist who spoke first was already standing in front of Lin Shen, "You should know who you've offended."

He said, "Someone asked me to break your right hand.

Don't worry, I won't really break it, just make you unable to write for a while. "

As he spoke, he walked towards Lin Shen, "If you cooperate obediently, big brother will try to be gentle."

"Wait … wait a minute!" Lin Shen looked left and right.

The eight of them completely blocked him in the middle. He was absolutely no match for them.

Even if he wanted to run, he probably wouldn't be able to.

Break his right hand?

Make him unable to write?!

Lu Miaomiao!

Lin Shen simply wanted to curse!

Lu Miaomiao really didn't have the slightest idea of fair competition.

He had been careless!

He should've known that Lu Miaomiao wasn't a good person to begin with!

"How much did she give you?" Lin Shen took a deep breath and said generously, "I'll give you three times as much!"

He said, "As long as you're willing to let me go."

The men glanced at each other and stopped in their tracks.

Lin Shen sighed in relief.

If they were willing to take money, then things would be easy.

Unexpectedly, the eight of them suddenly laughed out loud.

They laughed for a few seconds before the person who spoke first said, "Kid!

We can't be bought with money.

Just admit defeat obediently! "

After he finished speaking, he gestured to the others to hold Lin Shen down.

At this moment, the sound of brakes screeching came from both sides of the narrow street.

Immediately after, there was the sound of car doors opening quickly.

Before Lin Shen could react, the dense sound of footsteps had already rushed towards them.

Then, Lin Shen watched helplessly as a large group of …

He estimated that there were at least twenty tall men in black suits rushing towards them.

No … no way!

Lin Shen felt a little hopeless!

The men in suits all looked tall and straight, expressionless and cold.

Lu Miaomiao had actually mobilized two groups of people to deal with him and made such a big scene.

She really thought too highly of him!
