ARIWATM Chapter 081

The two played around for a while, Lin Zimao went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and then got rid of the things on the floor before going in, and by this time Lin Zimao had steamed his face pink.

Lin Zimao dried his hair and waited for Jiang Xuan to go to bed, probably because it was quite exciting today, the two hugged each other and chatted until early in the morning, they didn’t sleep until their eyelids were struggling.

After staying at the Lin family for two days, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan returned to their school villa, although it is not as spacious as the Jiang family, they will have more freedom here.

Qi Jingshan asked them to bring back a lot of fresh ingredients, probably knowing that her son might cook at home.

After returning to the villa, Jiang Xuan placed the figures he brought back from home in Lin Zimao’s room, and covered them with a cover, so that Jiaoyan wouldn’t touch them even if it was curious, he wanted to give Lin Zimao a big surprise.

Although it is already winter vacation and everyone has their own time, but because Jiang Xuan was learning about a new project from his professor, he occasionally had to go back to the school laboratory.

The only thing that worries Jiang Xuan is the bet between Lin Zimao and Cheng Chen, Lin Zimao didn’t say a word about it¹隻字不提 (zhī zì bù tí): not to mention (idiom); not say a single word (about something); fig. to omit mention (of a non-person or embarrassing topic); be silent about sth; to censor., he also didn’t know how to solve the problem for him, is it necessary for him to tutor him in designing a mecha?

He guessed that Cheng Chen would not be able to complete a design on his own in a month or so.

Besides, he didn’t know what level Lin Zimao has reached, and he also knows that he has hidden many things from himself.

At this time, Lin Zimao was stroking Jiaoyan in the living room, after being away for the past two days, Jiaoyan became particularly attached to Lin Zimao when he came back, as if he was afraid that it will lose him, it doesn’t have a sense of security, moreover, Jiang Xuan was not at home, so there was no one to accompany him.

Jiang Xuan still took the initiative to ask about the competition with Cheng Chen: “How do you plan to design your mecha? The competition with Cheng Chen is coming up in a month.”

Lin Zimao raised his head in confusion: “What?”

Jiang Xuan sighed, he paid too little attention to Cheng Chen, but in his heart, he was inexplicably a bit happy, regardless of whether Lin Zimao liked it or dislike it, he didn’t want the other party to occupy an important position in Lin Zimao’s heart, this should be due to his possessiveness.

“Just that matter of you and Cheng Chen competing in mecha design.”

Lin Zimao said calmly: “That matter, don’t worry, I have more important things to do.”

The implication is that Cheng Chen is easy to deal with, since he dared to accept Cheng Chen’s challenge, he was mentally prepared and 100% sure.

“I’m going to go out this afternoon, my brother gave me an address before, I want to find Lin You’s former family members and ask them if they know anything about Lin You.”

“Then, shall I accompany you?”

“Sure, you are more familiar with Ning City’s road conditions than I am, so it might be easier to find them.”

After the two discussed it, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan went out after lunch.

The address was in a suburb of Ning City.

The suburbs of planet Feige, it takes more than two hours to drive on a flying car, if Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan are successful in finding the person, they may be able to come back directly, but if the search doesn’t go well, they may have to stay for another day.

The two left the area where they usually live, Lin Zimao was quite excited to be so far away for the first time, and looked at the scenery on the road full of interest and enthusiasm²興致勃勃 (xìng zhì bó bó): to become exhilarated (idiom); in high spirits; full of interest and enthusiasm; full of zest; be cheerful and energetic..

They went to the suburbs, in fact, not because the land price is cheap, on the contrary, there are quite a few people coming here in winter.

Because this area has the most ski resorts in planet Feige, Jiang Xuan told Lin Zimao, because his family didn’t have much interest in skiing, they didn’t open it, however, he had a relative who opened a ski resort here.

Compared to a variety of flying racing cars, skiing is a real experience, the skis are all self-operated, and the purpose of the ride is to experience traditional skiing, real man should ski manually by himself, instead of sliding down on a ski machine, which is meaningless.

Under the banner that real men should ski, it really attracts many ski enthusiasts.

Lin Zimao looked at it and was moved, he had never played in the snow.

Jiang Xuan asked him: “Want to play?”

Lin Zimao nodded: “Yes, after we find the person, we can come here to learn?”

That’s how they booked their trip.

The two of them first followed the address to find the person.

The address is in a small ski town, so it’s easy to find.

The location they found happened to be in a residential area, and the houses were a bit old.

The environment is not bad, neat and tidy.

Jiang Xuan asked Lin Zimao curiously: “What is the relationship between the person we are looking for and Lin You? It is reasonable to say that your father shouldn’t know, after all, they are so far apart, and General Lin You was also driven out back then, they are also considered to be living in seclusion.”

Lin Zimao: “That makes sense, why would Lin Bei know?” It seemed that someone was guiding him to investigate what happened back then.

Now that he think about it, it seems everything has gone too well, why was it?

Someone was trying to guide him?

Lin Zimao only had a fleeting thought, not quite sure for a while.

This time the address is very clear, but when he and Jiang Xuan stood at the door, they always felt like someone was watching them, Lin Zimao suddenly turned around and looked around, there were no pedestrians on the road.

Jiang Xuan asked him: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Zimao: “I always feel like someone is watching us, maybe I’m too sensitive.”

Jiang Xuan: “Then should we still go in? Will it be dangerous to come here to look for people rashly?”

Lin Zimao looked at the house number and said, “We’re already here, I won’t give up until I see the other party, moreover, my intuition has always been very accurate, there is no mistake, there must be someone watching us.”

So what if there’s danger? If they encounter him, they will only be more dangerous than the other person.

Of course, Jiang Xuan will only support Lin Zimao: “Alright, then I’ll ring the doorbell.”

In fact, as soon as they appeared, they were being watched by someone, and the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it, and opened the door for them directly.

Two doors made of special material slowly opened, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan looked at each other: Just as they suspected.

It seemed that the other party knew that Lin Zimao would come to them.

Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan walked in together, there were two different scenery inside and outside.

It looks like an ordinary residential area from the outside, but after entering, they will find that everything outside is just an illusion they saw.

It’s full of technology inside, which makes people’s eyes shine.

However, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan were both people who had seen big scenes, this kind of technology didn’t surprise them, they were just a bit surprised because they thought it was just an ordinary residence at first.

Lin Zimao: “So it’s still a high-tech place?”

Jiang Xuan: “Why are they hiding it?”

Lin Zimao: “Maybe there is some secret that they don’t want outsiders to know.”

Jiang Xuan: “It should be.”

Lin Zimao is even more certain that the Lin family might be connected to Lin You.

The high-tech gate opened before them, Lin Zimao felt that this door opened another world of Lin You to him, and it might also be a useful key, but he didn’t know what he would encounter.

After entering the first door, there was a second one, then a third, followed by an elevator.

Once inside the elevator, it automatically selected the floor, it pointed to the negative eleventh floor.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan didn’t say much about their suspicions, but instead, talked about Jiaoyan.

Jiang Xuan: “When are we going to recheck Jiaoyan’s leg?”

Lin Zimao: “The day after tomorrow, there’s an appointment with the doctor.”

Jiang Xuan: “It wanted me to take it for a morning run this morning.”

Lin Zimao always got up later than Jiang Xuan, what he and Jiaoyan played in the morning, he wouldn’t even know if Jiang Xuan didn’t tell him.

Lin Zimao: “Then, did you take it for a run?”

Jiang Xuan: “No, I took it for a walk.”

Lin Zimao: “And then?”

Jiang Xuan said: “Then a lot of people are asking why it hasn’t gone for a morning run recently, I just learned that it has accumulated many fans in the past six months, taking it out yesterday was a bit like a king going out, at a glance, it seems to be waving to the people.”

Lin Zimao: “As expected of my cat.”

Jiang Xuan: “It never seems to be afraid of strangers, and it even enjoys being surrounded by people.”

Lin Zimao chuckled: “Yes, it used to like to go on patrol, if it wasn’t for the fear of it being caught here, it would have been released, fortunately, you take it out for a walk every day.”

Jiang Xuan: “It’s really not good to keep it locked up, in the future we’ll move to a bigger house, so that it can run and jump as it pleases.”

Lin Zimao thought for a moment: “In the future, I’ll take you back to where we used to go, do you want to go?”

Jiang Xuan: “I want to.”

Ding.

The two of them arrived at the negative eleventh floor.

The elevator door slowly opened.

It’s another world here.

They saw a lot of people working here, all in a hurry, busy doing their own thing.

It looks like an underground scientific research institution.

Standing in front of them was a smiling, round-faced lady in a white coat, who looked kind and friendly.

“Welcome Young Master Lin and Young Master Jiang, our boss has been waiting for a long time.”

Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan were really surprised this time, it seemed that the other party knew their identities very well, and possibly also knew relevant information about Lin Zimao.

When the round-faced lady led them to a door, Jiang Xuan was stopped outside by two big men.

The round-faced lady said: “It’s the boss’s guest.”

The two human bodyguards released Jiang Xuan from confinement.

Surprisingly, they didn’t stop Lin Zimao.

Lin Zimao himself felt strange, he took a look at the two big men, one of them had a hideous scar at the corner of his eye.

He asked: “Have I seen you somewhere before?”

The two big men had tense faces, there was no reply.

After the round-faced lady sent Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan to the door, she stood still and didn’t to go in.

The door opened, and there was another beautiful lady waiting inside, but at this time Jiang Xuan was really stopped.

“Young Master Jiang please wait here for a while, our boss would like to have a chat with Young Master Lin first.”

Jiang Xuan wanted to ask why, but Lin Zimao held his hand: “Wait for me for a while, they have no ill intentions towards me.”

Because everything here felt familiar to him.

Lin Zimao entered the next door.

He saw a human body sensing chair facing away from him, and the man slowly turned the chair around.

So pretentious & so cliche…
