"I'm only sixteen years old, what's wrong with not developing?! Is it funny?!" Chen Xing gritted his teeth, his whole body fried.

Lin Xiucheng hadn't been so happy for a long time. He pressed Chen Xing's thin shoulder hard: "Come on, young man."

Chen Xing grabbed a pillow and pressed it to Lin Xiucheng's face, and returned to the room as if he had escaped.

More than a month later, Chen Xing ushered in a period of confusion at the age of sixteen.

Mary wants to break up with him - his girlfriend of sixty-seven days, whose Chinese name is Ma Li, is twenty-one years old, a work-study Chinese restaurant waitress.

She and Chen Xing made an appointment at the fountain in the middle of the street. The square was filled with strange-shaped graffiti. The teenagers playing skateboards played music and jumped on the side of the square, causing passers-by to stop and watch.

The two sat on the side of the road with hot dogs bought from the dining car in their hands.

Mary paused for a while, then bit her lip and asked him, "Do you not like me?"

"I like it." Chen Xing said.

"But," Mary hinted, "if you like me, why can't you give me a warm hug on a lonely night."

Chen Xing understood, but there was really nothing he could do. He could only pretend to be stupid: "What hugs? I have access control at night, and my father won't let me go out."

Mary looked at Chen Xing's face for a while, and said sadly, "Xiao Xing, let's break up. You are too young for us."

Chen Xing was silent.

After saying goodbye to Mary, Chen Xing wandered the streets bored, and his first love ended without a hitch. He met Mary at the fountain in the middle of the street, and lost his love at the fountain in the middle of the street. Think of him as an invincible beautiful young man, but he was defeated in the developmental barrier.

Lin Xiucheng's call came, and he asked Chen Xing, "Where are you?"

Chen Xing said the location, and Lin Xiucheng told him to wait, so he came to pick him up.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived and told Chen Xing in a good mood: "I will take you to a big scene today, and you will give me a little more energy."

He took Chen Xing to Bond Street to buy a set of ready-to-wear and went to a regular family gathering. It wasn't a big scene, but Lin Xiucheng thought it was interesting. He wanted to dress Chen Xing brightly and scare them.

This is a tradition left by his grandfather. Every two or three months, the whole family gets together for an afternoon. For grandfather, this party was used to raise some stupid sons, for several uncles and uncles, it was for investigating the situation of the enemy, and for the current Lin Xiucheng, it was for adjusting his life.

Gu Qing's work in Europe is over, and he is going back to the United States. Lin Xiucheng looked at his watch. It's been nearly two months since the last meeting. He didn't bring Chen Xing to the last meeting. The old guys scratched their heads and scratched their ears. He talked to him about his adopted son, and made their appetite up to now, and it was almost time for Chen Xing to meet the guest.

The meeting took place as usual in the old house in Oxford.

Lin Xiucheng and Chen Xing picked up Gu Qing and drove to Oxford.

Along the way, Chen Xing was in a gloomy daze, and Gu Qing teased him and didn't want to speak.

The car drove into the iron gate. Several cousins ​​and cousins ​​were having a BBQ in the yard. Seeing Lin Xiucheng's car coming in, they all seemed to wave to him enthusiastically. The whole family just waited for Lin Xiucheng to bring his son to the stage, they got out of the car, and everything was quiet.

After two or three seconds, several elders came over diligently: "This is Chen Xing! Welcome to our big family."

Chen Xing nodded politely to them, leaned closer to Lin Xiucheng, and put his arms close to his.

After saying hello, the uncle took Lin Xiucheng to talk. Chen Xing and Gu Qing were helping with the barbecue in the garden. He quietly said to Gu Qing, "Lin Xiucheng is really living in dire straits."

"You're finally willing to talk to me," Gu Qing lowered his head and bit his ear, "Vincent is playing cat-and-mouse, he has a very perverted hobby, you have to be careful."

Chen Xing pouted and skewered his barbecue.

Lin Xiucheng's more than ten cousins ​​and sisters, except for Gu Qing, who has traveled far away, none of them are formal. They all look at Chen Xing with the bad impression that the family has chewed their tongues countless times. They think this is Lin Xiucheng's shield. Here comes the little duck.

However, when Gu Qing was beside him, they didn't dare to say anything, they just greeted him, chatted with him with a sullen face, and introduced themselves.

Chen Xing is a fine person, he can see through without saying anything, and stays with Gu Qing inseparably.

After the barbecue in the afternoon, was full, and the children who were still in school couldn't eat dinner, so they were clamoring to go to the backyard basketball court to play. Lin Xiucheng's 18-year-old cousin Lin Xiuyan is the son of his second uncle. Today, the second sister-in-law didn't come, but Lin Xiuyan still came to the party. His father just died, and his face was gloo after all.

He said, "Chen Xing, let's go with us."

Chen Xing looked back at Lin Xiucheng, Lin Xiucheng couldn't see his expression, and Chen Xing couldn't see whether he wanted to go or not. The two silently faced each other for a few seconds, and Lin Xiucheng waved his hand gently: "If you want to go, go."

Chen Xing lowered his head and smiled, and said to Lin Xiu, "Okay, let's go!"

When they were gone, Gu Qing asked Lin Xiucheng, "You're not afraid of being swallowed by those little brothers for such a thin-skinned and tender baby."

Lin Xiucheng laughed: "Gu Qing, you still don't know how to look at people."

The ruthlessness in Chen Xing's eyes can't be raised in a day or two, it should be his little cousins ​​who have fine skin and tender meat.

Gu Qing shook his head: "Don't say it, I will never understand you people."

Gu Qing and Lin Xiucheng went to school together, but he always lived outside with his aunt and uncle, never contacting the Lin family, and the living environment was very simple.

He also doesn't understand many of Lin Xiucheng's practices, but he respects him.

People who didn't eat barbecue in the afternoon had dinner together. Lin Xiucheng's uncles were talking a lot of nonsense. He was very impatient. Just as he was about to speak, the assistant's phone came and he had to ask for instructions. He came just in time and left. door to listen.

The urgent thing the assistant said was that Derrick, an Englishman who cooperated with his second uncle to eat his goods, escaped from them. Lin Xiucheng asked about the situation and walked a few steps to the back of the house. He heard the basketball slammed on the ground by the teenagers behind him. With a bang, he stopped moving forward, standing in the cedar woods planted by his grandfather, watching the lights of the basketball court.
