At the entrance of Yanjing University.
Across the wide road, near the bus stop, under the shade of a tree, Lin Hai squats on the ground, ignoring the many disdainful glances from people around him, puffing on his cigarette with a joyful expression on his face.
He takes out his phone, which looks like a knockoff, and opens the photo album. The pictures inside… compared to the girls from the university across the road, seem identical.
Lin Hai lets out another happy smile.
On the ground around him are five or six cigarette butts.
Lin Hai remains oblivious, as if, at this moment, nothing else matters but the captivating figure at the school across the road, which is the center of his world.
Her appearance may not be that of a stunning beauty, but the tenderness and kindness in her eyes, along with her purity, seem to calm the soul.
He vaguely remembers seeing her before.
The last time was at KTV, where he heroically saved her.
Even now, Lin Hai can't forget his sister's large eyes, shimmering with tears, both adorable and full of compassion.
"Hmm… Should I go see her now?"
"But if I meet her, how should I greet her?"
Lin Hai blinks and furrows his brow, stroking the stubble on his chin, hesitating for the first time.
For the first time, he feels he should get a haircut, shave his beard, then buy a refined suit, clean himself up thoroughly, and appear more spirited before meeting his sister. Perhaps that would be more appropriate…
"From her appearance, although life seems a bit impoverished, as long as she is happy inside, that's all that matters."
Lin Hai mutters to himself, but still doesn't dare to approach.
After all, his current image is rather scruffy; he doesn't want to leave a bad impression in his sister's mind.
Suddenly, for the first time, Lin Hai hates his current state, knowing deeply inside—those weary and decrepit eyes, damn it, stick like a leech, seemingly injected into his entire soul!
Now, he desperately doesn't want to show even a shred of decay and weariness in front of his sister!
Those damned weariness and decay would only tell his sister of the unerasable scars left by the harsh torments of time and life.
Lin Hai tries to recall what his truly joyful expression looks like.
He vaguely remembers when he was an assassin, frequently pretending to have this happy expression.
But now, perhaps due to nervousness, he, who could easily win an Oscar for Best Actor, simply cannot mimic that smile and feeling of happiness!
His thoughts suddenly become chaotic.
Lin Hai suddenly realizes—
Wounds, like his personality, so stubborn, unwilling to heal!
Time, like his earlier life, full of ups and downs, never merciful enough to pause.
Making him, at this moment, only able to temporarily hide away, unable to meet his sister in the best form.
Taking a deep breath, clenching his teeth, Lin Hai decides to leave for now, tidy himself up, and then go see his sister.
A tingling vibration comes from his thigh.
The phone he just put in his pocket is ringing.
Lin Hai frowns; he just wants to indulge in the emotions of seeing his sister soon.
Who is it, suddenly calling, disturbing his heart?
Picking up the phone, Lin Hai smiles.
It's his dear brother calling.
"Brother Lin, not loyal!" said the voice lazily over the phone, making his heart warm.
"Haha, since when hasn't Lin been loyal?" Lin Hai responds with a smile.
"You came to Yanjing and didn't give me a call first!"
"Enough with the excuses, do you have time tonight? I'll come get you, and then we can enjoy all sorts of nightlife, all kinds of erotic massage. I'll show you the sights of Yanjing, guaranteed beauty galore." For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
The call is from Zhuge Jianguo.
Lin Hai chuckles: "How did you know I came to Yanjing?"
"Jeez, I've just returned from traveling abroad and wanted to find you. I called your villa, and Sister-in-law Ouyang answered, saying you've arrived in Yanjing," Zhuge Jianguo replied.
"Brother Lin, not loyal, came to Yanjing without giving a heads-up. At the very least, I could have arranged a thirty Rolls-Royce convoy for your reception."
"I'm here in Yanjing to take care of some things first, so I didn't plan to disturb the brothers," Lin Hai responds with a smile.
"Oh? What business does Brother Lin have in Yanjing? Do you need my help? In Yanjing, I have quite a few friends; we can barely count as Super Young Master, right?" Zhuge Jianguo asks with concern.
Lin Hai's heart warms, and he replies, "Just some personal matter, which I can handle myself."
"Alright then, I won't press further. Brother Lin, I'll clear all my recent engagements and wait for you. Whenever you're free, just give me a call; I'll come get you in no time," Zhuge Jianguo's cheerful voice comes through the phone.
"Okay, no problem, we won't stop until we're drunk!"
Lin Hai looks again, finding that his sister is still in the campus.
She seems to be tidying up around a trash can.
According to Judge's intel, she works as a cleaning lady at this university in Yanjing, and besides that, she also attends lectures.
What a good girl, working and studying, truly worthy of being his sister, huh.
"Hmm, watch for another minute, then quickly go change,"
Lin Hai decides firmly in his heart.
His sister seems to have finished with the trash can, carrying a large black trash bag, heading towards the school gate from outside.
At the same time, a BMW 7 Series stops at the university entrance.
Out from the BMW steps a well-shaped, good-looking woman, dressed particularly sensually.
The woman doesn't look very old, perhaps a student here.
Today's university students tend to dress maturely and city fashionably.
Meanwhile, upon seeing the woman, his sister quickly makes way, afraid of obstructing her.
This is the bitterness of those at the bottom level, who can't help but avoid those who are bright and polished.
The woman stops not far from his sister, showing her white teeth and smile, seeming to have something to say.
"Hehe, my sister seems to have good popularity."
Lin Hai watches this scene, thinking in his heart.
"Hello, excuse me." The woman speaks to Lin Hai's sister.
"Um…" Lin Hai's sister's voice is very small, like a faint mosquito buzz, and combined with her fragile look, she seems somewhat frail.
The woman's voice is very gentle, giving a feeling of someone in a position of authority who is not overbearing but rather approachable.
She looks at Lin Hai's sister, smiles, and speaks again:
"Thank you for making way."
"Taking out trash must be exhausting. I hope you take care of your health."
Pausing, the woman continues:
"Next time you take out trash, please stay further away from me. Though you are trying hard, the service is still lacking. Don't you think being so close, the filthy odor could stick to me and my freshly changed clothes?"
"Alright, thank you, please move a bit more; I'm heading in."
After speaking, the woman, still with an angelic smile, gracefully walks into the campus.
Lin Hai is stunned, standing rooted to the spot, watching his sister lower her cute head deeply, wearing rubber gloves and struggling to drag a large bag of waste, seeming at a loss. His fists involuntarily clench, bone grinding against bone, firmly, viciously tightening!
The once-perfect picture of beauty in his heart seems to be ruthlessly slashed through by a butcher's knife!
An innate anger, fueled by heavy breaths, instantly consumes his heart!!
