The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 40
In the garden where the fragrance is floating, suddenly there is a pleasant bass voice coming from behind: "Mimi, so you are here! Uncle said that you were talking about homework with your teacher in the garden. I have been waiting for a long time and I still haven't seen you come back." , I took the initiative to come and find you."

Zhang Xiaofa followed the prestige and saw a young man with a cold and noble temperament coming towards him.His hairstyle is in line with the current aesthetics, and it has been carefully taken care of without any mess; he is wearing a black western-style dress and a dark blue bow tie. This combination of Chinese and Western attire brings out his distinctive beauty.

This is probably the Lin Yitang she doesn't want to see. On this occasion, do you want to say hello politely?

Before he could come up with a suitable way of greeting, Lin Yitang took the initiative to stand in front of him, and the carved ivory folding fan in his hand swept across his chin like the wind. At the same time, he threw a warning expressionlessly:
"Little pervert, you'd better stay far away from her!"

Zhang Xiaofa calmly held the handle of the fan and swung it vigorously. The fan flew out of his hand, whirled a few times above his head, and fell into the pond behind him, making a crisp water sound.

"You dare to throw my fan, if you don't want to die, go into the water and pick it up for me!"

Seeing that he didn't take himself seriously, Lin Yitang grabbed him by the collar, raised his fist and was about to make a move, but received a loud slap on the cheek——
Zhang Xiaofa and Lin Yitang were both stunned by this slap: it came from Lin Mi, who is usually gentle and elegant; her beautiful eyes still had wet tears.

Lin Yitang's first reaction was shock, but his second reaction was self-deception: he would rather think that his cousin wanted to help him, but in a hurry, her hand accidentally slapped the wrong place.

"Mimi, go to the side, I'm going to teach this kid a lesson!" He had a winning expression on his face.

However, Mr. Lin's noble self-esteem will face even greater challenges next.

"Lin Yitang, I warn you, don't insult him! If you dare to touch a hair of his, I'll give you a few more strokes." She glared at her cousin angrily, her face flushed red.

Confident Lin Yitang refused to believe that his cousin would slap himself for a boy: I haven't seen him for many years, and I came here to catch up on the past, and the gift of meeting was her angry slap.

"I'm your cousin, your only cousin, what about him?!" Lin Yitang grabbed Zhang Xiaofa's collar tightly with one hand, and rubbed his cheek with the other hand: the burning pain spread, and half of his face was incomparable. Sour...

Zhang Xiaofa counted silently in his heart: one, two, three, four..., ready to count to ten, let Lin Yitang have a taste of taekwondo.

"He is my... teacher, don't mess around!" Lin Mi shouted hesitantly, and gently moved the back of his hand: just now, he hit it with the greatest strength, and now his hand is swollen.

Lin Yitang opened his eyes wide, raised his sword eyebrows, and let go of his hand suspiciously: "So you are my cousin's teacher, so young! I misunderstood just now, I'm sorry."

Zhang Xiaofa also let go of his tightly clenched fists, and nodded lightly, as a tacit consent.

Lin Yitang took her hand, "Mimi, tonight, I just want to dance with you. Uncles and aunts are waiting for us to go back."

"Listen to your cousin, go back quickly." Zhang Xiaofa said calmly, but looked elsewhere, like a stranger, as if nothing had happened with her.Lin Mi looked at him in surprise: since when did he become so cold and quiet, completely different from his appearance at school...

She was considered more understanding, but his sudden temperament change made it difficult for her to resist.

Lin Yitang saw that Lin Mi had a special affection for him, and he seemed to be indifferent to her, so he was relieved: Why don't you take her teacher to the lobby for a few drinks, so that you can know this and the other...

"Little teacher, I also want to invite you to drink, I hope you don't refuse." He took Lin Mi with one hand and Zhang Xiaofa's arm with the other, and the other party replied neatly: "Yes."

The three came to the hall together.Lin Yitang took a bottle of red wine on the table, opened the lid himself, and filled two glasses: one was in his hand, and the other was handed to Zhang Xiaofa. "I'll toast you a glass for Lin Mi." He raised his glass and drank it down, but Zhang Xiaofa didn't touch a drop.

Seeing this, Lin Yitang asked him inexplicably: "This is pure French brewing, with an excellent taste, why don't you drink it?"

He thought of the poisoned cup of coffee and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, I never drink alcohol."

Mr. Lin listened on the sidelines, took the wine glass, held his hand, and persuaded him humorously: "Mr. Zhang, if you don't drink any more, you will lose face to me." He felt the warmth and strength of that hand, and remembered In Houhai, Mr. Lin obediently downed the glass of wine regardless of his kindness to save him, feeling bitter in his heart.

Mr. Lin was about to continue drinking with Lin Yitang when he suddenly noticed a bright red five-fingerprint on his nephew's cheek. Then he saw tears on his daughter's face, and she rubbed her hands unnaturally: it was obvious that she was crying because of something. However, he even beat his cousin.

Mr. Lin frowned, fell silent for a moment, pulled his daughter over, and decided to ask a question.

"Mimi, you have been out for so long, and the whole house is waiting for you, why did you hit him so hard?"

Lin Mi could hear her father's sullen tone, and couldn't think of an answer for a moment. Seeing that there were still a few glasses of wine on the adjacent table, she bravely walked over, raised her neck and drank heavily.After drinking a few cups, she frowned slightly, a pitiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her small body shook even more violently.

Two boys rushed in front of her from different directions, trying to snatch her wine glass, but she closed her eyes and fell down in a daze.The wine glass slipped from her fingers and shattered.

Zhang Xiaofa was quick to support her, his gaze rested on her face for a moment, and hastily made up his mind to hand her over to Lin Yitang, and said softly: "Probably drunk, take good care of her. I have class tomorrow." , so farewell."

Seeing it from the side, Mr. Lin secretly admired his rationality and restraint: when he was in Houhai, he had already noticed his daughter's deep affection for him, and he also saw his concern for her.Originally, I was very worried that there would be a lot of resistance to directly interfering with the young couple. I didn't expect this young man who is a teacher to let go so readily in order to fulfill Lin Yitang who came from afar.

Zhang Xiaofa walked up to Mr. Lin, bent down and saluted: "Thank you for saving your life this morning. I have to leave immediately. If it's too late, the school gate will be closed, so I won't be able to go in."

Mr. Lin ordered two guards to fetch the things, then patted him on the shoulder, and said gently: "Mr. Zhang, I have a gift for you. I hope you don't refuse."

"Mr. Lin, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. I haven't had time to repay you, so how can I accept your gift." Zhang Xiaofa sincerely refused.

What if Lin Mi's father wanted to give him a so-called "spiritual damage fee"?He must not accept it!

The guard not only brought his things, but also brought an exquisite wooden box.Mr. Lin opened the wooden box and handed it to him: inside was a sharp dagger.

"Mr. Zhang, please remember: take it with you wherever you go outside the school."

He thanked again, put the dagger in his bag, and turned away without looking back.

Behind the wide stone pillar at the entrance of the hall, He Shi'an, who was listening attentively, saw clearly what happened just now.
