The next day at noon, Lin Zifeng really came to have lunch with Lin Zimao.
They went to a restaurant outside, Lin Zimao was interested in trying the dishes that Jiang Xuan had never made for himself.
This restaurant specializes in sour soup fish1酸湯魚 (suān tāng yú): Sour soup Fish. 
, which tastes pretty good.
Lin Zifeng saw that he was eating well, so it took a while for him to ask the questions that came to his mouth.
He went back last night and had a few more conversations with his father, his father was very angry with Lin Zimao, but he was too proud, and he couldn’t bear to explain it.
Lin Zifeng discounted his words, and after removing the emotional content, there was not much useful information left.
In front of him, his father never mentioned2絕口不提 (jué kǒu bù tí): lips sealed and not saying anything (idiom); fig. to omit mention (of a non-person or embarrassing topic); to censor; make no mention of; never say a single word (about sth). what happened between him and Aunt Xu.
After leaving home, Lin Zifeng asked his mother if she knew about the about the starship robbery by space pirates sixteen years ago.
His mother said it wasn’t reported in the news, but according to the grapevine, there was indeed a starship robbery back then, but because it had little to do with her, she didn’t pay much attention to it, the conclusion is that it happened, and many people were missing at that time, some people made a fuss, but it was suppressed by the Alliance government, the number of people missing is huge, the Alliance had to paid out a lot of money to settle the matter.
Lin Zifeng also asked his mom if she knew that Aunt Xu was also on this starship.
His mother said it was impossible, how could they be up there, haven’t they, mother and son, been living well on planet Alpha?
Lin Zifeng asked if she knew when Aunt Xu and Lin Zimao were on planet Alpha.
His mother recalled that it seemed that it was just these past two years, but she couldn’t remember exactly where she learned about it, in short, she just knew that they had been doing well.
Lin Zifeng asked her if she learned about it from his father.
His mother said it was definitely not, although she and Lin Bei did not have the attitude of grow old and die without having had any dealings with each other3老死不相往來 (lǎo sǐ bù xiāng wǎng lái): grow old and die without having had any dealings with each other―never be in contact with each other; (of two entities) to never have contact with each other; to never interact; be completely isolated from each other all their lives; not visit each other all their lives; Refers to not contacting each other or communicating the situation., Lin Bei would never mention his other women and children in front of her, not to mention that he was doing well at the moment, and didn’t care about other people at all.
Lin Zifeng asked her if there was any way to find out the exact circumstances of the starship robbery that year.
His mother said she would help him ask, and also asked him, is this for Lin Zimao?
Lin Zifeng said yes.
If Lin Zimao didn’t mention the robbery of the starship today, he definitely wouldn’t have known that they had gone through this, however, he didn’t go into details later, Lin Zifeng wanted to understand the situation before meeting him.
It never occurred to him, it turns out that the space pirates incident happened back then, not many people know about it.
Why did the Alliance try to hide it? Who was the person who handled this matter back then?
Lin Zifeng never thought he was a good material digger, nor is he a detective, but now a mystery related to Lin Zimao is placed in front of him, he wants to solve it, this person is his younger brother, whom he especially likes.
In the past, he didn’t know that he couldn’t help, but now he can help a little bit.
Lin Zifeng told Lin Zimao what he knew: “Last night, I asked about Lin You’s situation again, the people from his mother’s side are actually still around, but they live under an assumed name4隱姓埋名 (yǐn xìng mái míng): to conceal one’s identity; to live incognito; maintain one’s anonymity; live under an assumed name; Conceal one’s real name from others., if you want to know about what happened back then, you can ask them.”
Lin Zimao thought to himself, Lin Bei still valued Lin Zifeng, his eldest son, and was willing to share this information with him.
“Lin Bei is telling me all this because he wanted me not to do it in the name of the Lin family, right?”
“In fact, it can’t affect the Lin family, you haven’t been living in planet Feige, you’ve been living with Auntie Xu, when Dad and Auntie Xu divorced years ago, you’ve already left the Lin family on the divorce agreement, so don’t worry about what he says, just do what you want to do.”
“You’re not afraid that I’ll affect you?”
Lin Zifeng smiled: “If I was afraid, I wouldn’t have asked for the address for you.”
“There really is an address.” Lin Zimao was quite surprised.
In fact, he had spent very little time with Lin Zifeng, almost none at all, but he was very friendly to him, if he didn’t know that he didn’t understand himself, and that the two of them had no contact since childhood, he would have doubted whether Lin Zifeng had any special intentions for himself.
“I told you I would help you.”
“Thank you, Brother.” He was also sincerely grateful.
The next second, the address Lin Zifeng got from Lin Bei had been passed to Lin Zimao.
Lin Bei probably didn’t expect that he originally wanted to stop Lin Zimao, but ended up becoming a key figure in providing clues.
Lin Zifeng told Lin Zimao the reason: “It’s mainly because of the Jiang family.”
“I see, if Jiang Xuan’s great-grandfather supports Lin You, things may be different, right now the Jiang and Lin families are bound together, if Lin You’s affairs are announced normally and there is no negative impact, Dad said that he would give you and Jiang Xuan a grand wedding.”
“It’s to get the Lin family to officially board the Jiang family’s boat?”
“Right.”
The matter of Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan receiving the certificates actually seemed ridiculous, but what kind of deal did Lin Bei and Jiang Xuan’s parents make?
The fact that they didn’t let them disclose it was probably the Jiang family’s idea, but now that Jiang Xuan is supporting Lin Zimao, it shows that Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan have a pretty good relationship, Lin Bei wants to go one step further and ask for more?
“Lin Bei has a good idea and a very vicious vision, but his opinion is not important, he has no decision-making power.” Lin Zimao said, not in the least bit concerned, “Now, it’s him who is still in debt to me, not me owing him.”
He is the one who is marrying the Jiang family, does he really have the nerve to take advantage of his relationship with Jiang Xuan?
“Um, then you should just ignore him.”
“Brother, do you know why the Jiang family would agree to a marriage between the Jiang and Lin families?”
Lin Zifeng really didn’t know about this, it’s true that the Lin family is short of funds,but as for what the Jiang family wants, it was unknown.
Many people want to establish connections with the Jiang family but can’t find a way, it’s as if the Lin family stumbled upon good luck, and ended up having a relationship with the Jiang family.
“I don’t know specifically, could it be because Jiang Qi is retiring and the others want to develop in multiple directions?”
“But it doesn’t make sense, even without Jiang Qi, Jiang Xuan and his group will not be affected, the Jiang’s Mecha Manufacturing Company had already supplied so many mechas and weapons to the Alliance.”
“I really haven’t paid much attention to it, I’ll talk to my friend later, by the way, Jiang Xuan’s uncle is a member of the school board, or you can ask Jiang Xuan directly, it’s impossible that the parties involved don’t know the reason for their marriage.”
“I forgot to ask him.” Lin Zimao didn’t really want to talk to Jiang Xuan about this, so he never asked.
He took a photo of the chicken soup and sent it to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan took a picture of a piece of bread, his lunch.
Lin Zimao thought that he was eating too casually, so he replied to him shamelessly: Senior, you are so pitiful, I will bring you a loving lunch tomorrow.
Jiang Xuan replied with a rubbing a cat’s face emoticon, saying that he was writing a lab report and was a little busy.
Lin Zimao and Lin Zifeng enjoyed their lunch, and even packed some pork chop bun and a glass of latte.
“For Jiang Xuan?” Lin Zifeng was slightly jealous of Jiang Xuan’s treatment.
“Um, he has something to do at noon, so he just eat casually.”
“I’m also usually quite busy, so I just eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner casually.”
“Brother, order takeout yourself, can’t help you, all my money is used for dating.”
Lin Zifeng couldn’t help laughing, the school grass and his younger brother was dating, it seems pretty good too.
He sent Lin Zimao to the design department.
Jiang Xuan didn’t go to the laboratory today, instead, he stayed in their class.
Maybe it’s the end of the semester, everyone is busy, many people stay in the classroom.
Lin Zimao stood outside the corridor and saw Jiang Xuan, who was sitting in the back row and looking at the computer screen attentively5聚精會神 (jù jīng huì shén): to concentrate one’s attention (idiom); be all eyes and ears; to maintain one’s concentration; to stay focused; to be attentive or absorbed., it seemed that he was indeed very busy.
He never knew what it meant to be low-key, and since the back door happened to be locked, Lin Zimao walked in through the front door of the classroom.
The students who had just returned from lunch and were resting in the classroom thought they were blinded.
Who is this?
It’s Junior Lin Zimao, right?
The people who were sleepy just now were not sleepy at all now!
There’s a drama to watch, oh my, what kind of luck is it today, can watch gossip without going to the forum.
Lin Zimao walked toward the back row, and all the students who were not lying down turned their heads in the direction of Lin Zimao’s movement, their movements were uniform, more orderly than the military posture.
What is he doing here?
He came to find Jiang Xuan, right?
Lin Zimao is also holding an insulated and environmentally friendly paper bag in his hand, come to deliver lunch to Jiang Xuan?
There was a sudden commotion in the classroom, Jiang Xuan raised his head, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth widened a little.
But then, remembering the agreement with Lin Zimao, he is now being ‘pursued’.
When can he be successfully ‘pursued’, it still depends on the intentions of the pursuer.
If someone had told him this a year ago, he probably wouldn’t even wanted to hear it, and probably would have punched the other person.
Jiang Xuan pretended not to know anything, and continue typing on the computer, thinking about how to behave later.
Then he heard the sound of the paper bag falling on his seat, and raised his head very naturally: “I’ve eaten.”
Lin Zimao sat down next to him: “Senior, you didn’t go to the cafeteria, how could you have eaten, my informer said you only ate a piece of bread, Senior, don’t be hungry, I specially bought pork chop buns6豬扒包 (zhū pá bāo): Pork chop bun. 
and latte.”
Jiang Xuan said to himself, where did you get an informer, wasn’t all of them are directed and acted by myself.
Although he really want to eat it immediately, but he still had to sternly refuse it for a while before he could eat the pork chop bun.
Jiang Xuan pretended to be cold: “I said I wouldn’t eat.”
“If you don’t eat, I’ll sit here until you eat.” Lin Zimao threatened.
“Lin Zimao, is it interesting doing something like this?”
“It’s interesting.” Lin Zimao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, don’t you know if it’s interesting or not?
The students, who were sitting nearby and watching the gossip at close range, admired Lin Zimao very much, don’t you see Jiang Xuan is almost covered in frost, how can you not run, really have great courage.
Lin Zimao took out the pork chop buns and latte from the paper bag, the fragrant aroma filling the air, he whispered: “I just had lunch with my brother, that restaurant is really delicious, so I ordered their signature pork chop bun and your favorite latte.”
To have one’s preferences be remembered, it’s really fortunate.
The student who often sit next to Jiang Xuan heard this: ???
After a moment of silence, the gossiping students were all busy chatting privately, watching whether Jiang Xuan would eat the pork chop buns or not, and guessing the direction of their relationship.
Lin Zimao opened the lid of the latte and handed it to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan took it smoothly and took a sip.
He was indeed hungry.
Pork chop buns are actually quite common people’s food, everyone knows that Jiang Xuan is a big young master, when eating in the school cafeteria, he always orders relatively exquisite food, never looking at the price, at first glance, he took a bite of pork chop buns…
Why do they feel that the young master is still the young master, he eats so elegantly, and the pork chop buns seem to be very delicious.
Not right!
He actually ate it!
Lin Zimao, this school tyrant, is so awesome!
A senior sister boldly asked Lin Zimao: “Junior, where did you buy this pork chop bun?”
Lin Zimao gave her an address, and then lay down next to Jiang Xuan to take a nap.
Jiang Xuan’s group of classmates: …
Junior is really thick-skinned!
But, it seems to be effective, even the school grass have eaten up the pork chop buns!
Lin Zimao raised his head in a daze, Jiang Xuan’s coat was draped over his shoulders.
Jiang Xuan noticed that he was awake and whispered: “Class is starting.”
At this time, there is a professor standing on the stage, this professor likes to walk down to the audience and ask questions while speaking.
Seeing Lin Zimao sitting next to Jiang Xuan, the professor recognized Lin Zimao as the one who had been causing trouble recently, and deliberately ordered him: “This student, tell me the three major elements of mecha engine design.”
Lin Zimao’s mind hadn’t reacted yet, and everyone was sweating for him.
Just as Jiang Xuan was about to open his mouth to help him out, Lin Zimao quickly replied: “Energy compression, materials, heat treatment.”
Big Brother so nice~ LoL, this random teacher just appear to ask for a beating.
