The moment the brother and sister's eyes met, Lin Zhiyan could see the faintly exposed hickey on his sister's collar.
The shock he received was no less severe than when Lin Zhiyi saw Su Ruotong in Xiao Ci that morning.
"You——" After his expression suddenly changed, he started to call for punishment.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyi's first reaction was to quickly close the door.
"Lin Zhiyi!" Lin Zhiyan's angry voice came through the door panel.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ci heard the noise and came over.
"Shh!" Lin Zhiyi was seen leaning against the door panel, looking anxious as if he was afraid that someone from outside would break in.
"Who?" Xiao Ci pulled her over and opened the door.
Lin Zhiyi hugged his arm and said, "My brother."
Xiao Ci paused and turned to look at her. Countless emotions flashed through his eyes in an instant.
Lin Zhiyi's cell phone rang. She glanced at her brother and immediately felt her hands were hot.
But she didn't have the guts not to answer, so she finally pressed the answer button: "Hello?" Her voice was also cautious.
"Open the door." Lin Zhiyan only gave her two words.
It was rude to him to yell, so the background of the call was quiet and more oppressive.
"Brother..." Lin Zhiyi glanced at Xiao Ci, feeling unsure.
"I'm right at the door. Can he escape? Unless he jumps out of the window." Lin Zhiyan asked her to recognize the reality.
Xiao Ci heard what the two said clearly, and his hand that was originally holding the doorknob twisted.
"Hey -" Lin Zhiyi wanted to say that he should at least wear a shirt, but it was obviously too late.
Lin Zhiyan looked at the man inside the door, wearing only a pair of pants and with his upper body exposed.
Without even seeing his face clearly, he punched him with a fist.
Xiao Ci subconsciously avoided it, but the corners of his lips were wiped.
"Brother!" Lin Zhiyi subconsciously held Xiao Ci's arm and looked at Lin Zhiyan angrily.
Lin Zhiyan pulled her back to him, and then looked Xiao Ci up and down.
She was good-looking, and when she was beaten, she just raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lower lip. She was able to hold her breath, but her face looked too tender.
That's right, Lin Zhiyan didn't know Xiao Ci.
Before the incident with the Xiao family, Xiao Ci had never appeared in S City.
So the current situation is - Xiao Ci knows Lin Zhiyan well, but Lin Zhiyan doesn't know about this potential threat yet.
This was the first official meeting between the two of them, and Xiao Ci felt strong hatred in his heart. But after all, after practicing for so many years, his eyes could only see a secret.
"What for?" Lin Zhiyan asked.
He looked down on her, not because he was Xiao Ci, but because no matter what man he was today, as an older brother, he would feel that he was not worthy of his sister.
"Didn't you see it?" Xiao Ci didn't obey him, but called Ban.
Lin Zhiyan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air, and the air seemed to be filled with the crackling smell of gunpowder.
Lin Zhiyi also didn't expect that the first meeting between the two would be so bad. It seemed that the two of them had a disagreement and could start fighting at any time.
She quickly took Xiao Ci's clothes, stuffed them into his arms and said, "You should go back today."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Ci to refuse, he pushed him out the door.
The movements were neat and crisp, and Xiao Ci was still a little slow until he stood outside the door.
He never expected that his first contest with Lin Zhiyan would be dismissed like this before he even said a few words.
Inside the house, Lin Zhiyi leaned against the door, not feeling confident enough to face her brother alone.
Lin Zhiyan had already seen the person, so he was not in a hurry to chase Xiao Ci. After all, many things were not clear yet.
He sat on the sofa in the living room, took out a cigarette, seemed to want to light it, looked at his sister and threw it back on the table.
"Come here." He ordered.
Lin Zhiyi did not dare to resist and sat down obediently.
"Tell me what's going on?" Lin Zhiyan was much calmer now.
"He is my boyfriend, his name is Xiao Ci." Lin Zhiyi told the truth.
When Lin Zhiyan heard this name, he felt like he had heard it somewhere before, but couldn't remember it for a moment. He frowned and asked, "How long have you been dating?"
"It didn't take long..." Lin Zhiyi said hesitantly.
"How long is not long?" Lin Zhiyan did not allow her to be careless.
"About half a month." Lin Zhiyi looked away guiltily.
"Half a month will you—" Lin Zhiyan didn't know whether he was angry or felt it was inappropriate, so he didn't say the next words.
Anyway, even if he didn't say anything, Lin Zhiyi understood.
"It was just an accident. I drank too much at a party last night," Lin Zhiyi explained.
"You drank too much, where is he?" Lin Zhiyan asked.
"He——" Xiao Ci didn't seem to drink.
"Taking advantage of others' danger" is indeed not a good thing.
"Brother, we are normal boyfriend and girlfriend. Even if I get drunk, I am willing." Lin Zhiyi always knew what he was doing.
She was happy and resigned, even though she knew she had some love brain, she was right to pursue her own happiness.
"Lin Zhiyi, are you ashamed?" She could say this in front of her!
"Brother, I am an adult woman. Can you stop controlling me like a child?" Can't you give her some space? She just wants to have a normal relationship.
Lin Zhiyan looked at her as if he were a rebellious daughter. He knew in his heart that what she said was right, but just like all old fathers who worry about their daughters, he just felt a little uneasy.
Who kept my father busy when I was young? Even though my mother was not in the company, she was still busy helping him take care of various relationships every day.
This girl can almost be said to have been brought up by him, and she is used to worrying about it, not to mention that love is a big deal.
Lin Zhiyan sighed secretly in his heart, and then softened his tone and said: "I don't care about you, what if you are cheated?"
After all, he was his elder brother who loved him so much, so how could Lin Zhi see him fighting like this? So he came over and sat down against him and said coquettishly, "Brother, no, he's very nice."
"When you are passionately in love, of course everything about him is good." Lin Zhiyan didn't take it seriously.
"Then you can't deny her if you don't understand him." The person she likes still wants to be recognized by her brother.
"What does he do?" Lin Zhiyan began to ask.
"Student from S University, looking for a job internship." Knowing that Xiao Ci's current situation has no advantages, Lin Zhiyi's voice became lower as he answered.
"Smaller than you?" Lin Zhiyan frowned.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyi nodded.
"What does the family do?" Lin Zhiyan asked again.
"My parents are gone." Lin Zhiyi had a premonition that her brother would not be satisfied, so she answered carefully.
"Lin Zhiyi." Lin Zhiyan really felt like he had a heart attack.
The plan he and his parents had for his sister was to find a man of similar family background and noble character in the future, but her choice was obviously completely contrary to theirs.
"Brother." Lin Zhiyi said coquettishly.
Lin Zhiyan couldn't stand his sister being like this, so he thought that it might not be bad for Xiao Ci's family to be so simple. Anyway, the Lin family didn't point to his sister's marriage.
What's more, they are still so young and may not succeed in the future.
But if I can't do it, I'm afraid that my sister will be sad. This is really contradictory.
"I know." Lin Zhiyan suppressed all kinds of emotions and stood up to leave.
"Brother, do you agree?" Lin Zhiyi saw that he didn't say anything and asked uncertainly.
She thought he would teach her a lesson, and then she would have to spend a lot of time convincing him.
"That's a good idea. I'll find someone to understand first." Lin Zhiyan still had some reservations and warned, "Also, don't tell your parents about this first."
"Oh." Lin Zhiyi responded, obviously a little disappointed.
Lin Zhiyan's lips moved, as if he had something to say, knowing that she couldn't listen to anything now, so he held it back in the end and went out with a complicated mood.
