Chapter 20 : Affection.
"Lin Tian's greetings have been well received, Father," said Lin Tian directly in response to Lin Pan's greeting.
He deliberately brought himself closer to Lin Hua's cell phone, so that his words could be conveyed properly to Lin Pan.
"You turned out to be there, Boy. I thought you weren't with Lin Hua," said Lin Pan slightly surprised by Lin Tian's presence there. He didn't expect Lin Tian to be listening to his conversation with Lin Hua.
Hearing Lin Pan's slightly sarcastic answer made Lin Hua immediately say, "Didn't Lin Hua say earlier that Lin Tian was with Hua here, Father. Maybe father didn't hear it," protested Lin Hua which immediately invited laughter from the owner of the voice. which is far away.
Lin Pan laughed very loudly, she knew very well her daughter's true nature, she must be pursed her lips right now and Lin Pan's guess was right. Lin Hua was indeed pursing his lips while puffing his cheeks as well.
"Father… Don't laugh," Lin Hua grumbled. Not only managed to make Lin Pan laugh, but Lin Tian also held back his laughter. However, he kept his mouth shut so as not to further offend Lin Hua's feelings.
"Why are you covering your mouth? If you want to laugh, laugh with satisfaction. Don't keep your mouth shut like that," Lin Hua snapped in a curt tone.
Instantly Lin Tian was silent, there was no longer any laughter that he showed. The look in Lin Hua's eyes, which was so cold and savage, managed to make Lin Tian, ​​who was once a high-level Swordsman, afraid.
Is it that scary when a woman is angry, so that even men who have high abilities become subject to her?
Lin Pan, who heard the two of them arguing from behind the phone, tried to break up the two. Lin Pan knew very well the attitude and character of the beautiful girl, so Lin Pan hastily calmed Lin Hua so that Lin Tian would not be angered by the beautiful girl.
"Come on, you guys don't fight like that. It's not good for you to fight because you two are brothers. Don't let any enmity between you cause Exit Lin to split apart. Father doesn't want that to happen," said Lin Pan, immediately setting himself up for emotion. Lin Hua also muffled.
"Sorry, Father, Hua won't be angry with Lin Tian anymore. Hua promises to take good care of Lin Tian, ​​just like Hua told Father," Lin Hua replied slightly feeling guilty.
Lin Pan could clearly hear the apology coming from her daughter's mouth and she could also feel that, Lin Hua truly regretted his actions.
Lin Tian said the same thing. Sorry came out of his mouth. He also felt sorry for his actions that might have hurt Lin Hua's feelings.
Lin Pan was silent for a long time, she could feel the two children love each other, so they would feel hurt when the other was hurt.
Lin Hua and Lin Tian looked at each other, both lost in their own feelings. Neither of them said a word. Lin Pan cleared his throat, trying to find a way to lighten the tense atmosphere.
Lin Hua returned to focus on his father's phone call and so did Lin Tian. There was a laugh from Lin Pan, suddenly making Lin Hua and Lin Tian both frown.
"Is there anything funny, Daddy?" Lin Hua inquired curiously. Lin Tian was also curious because of his father's sudden laughter.
Lin Pan lowered her voice, "No, honey. Nothing funny. I just feel happy that I have you in this life. You don't know how your life will be without you and Lin Xiao? Maybe you will be very lonely. "
Lin Pan also took a deep breath, instantly the laughter turned into a heart-wrenching atmosphere, when she recalled how she met her children.
Lin Hua, who is far away, can feel a longing vibration in his heart. If the distance from his father was not far, Lin Hua wanted to hug his father who he loved so much.
"Father loves you all very much," said Lin Pan.
When the sentence paused slightly, suddenly another voice came from behind Lin Hua and Lin Tian.
"I love you too, Father," said someone whose voice was familiar to Lin Pan and the others.
Lin Xiao walked so gallantly towards Lin Hua and Lin Tian. He seemed in a hurry to get to the two brothers.
"I love you too, Daddy." Lin Xiao again expressed his affection which of course immediately heard clearly by Lin Pan.
"Father, surely you haven't forgotten about me, have you?" Lin Xiao inquired as he brought his face closer to Lin Hua's smart object.
Lin Pan could clearly hear the words. He laughed again cheerfully when another son was there. Even though he didn't have a wife, Lin Pan was happy. His life is still perfect because he has sons and daughters who love him so much.
"Father is very happy today because you two get along so well," said Lin Pan, which Lin Hua and the others could feel was a form of happiness.
"We are also very happy to have you, Father," said Lin Hua and the others were of the same mind as him.
Lin Xiao put his arm around Lin Tian's shoulder, "That's right, Sis. We will be a happy family in this life or later. Or, maybe in the previous life we ​​were brothers so in this life we ​​will meet again."
Lin Xiao's last sentence instantly made Lin Tian froze, unmoving. His mind seemed to have retraced space and time.
Looking back, in his previous life Lin Tian didn't have any siblings at all. Both his parents were killed when his village was destroyed because of the robbers.
Lin Tian still remembers well how he was almost sold into slavery by the robbers, but he was finally able to escape and run into the middle of the forest. Since then Lin Tian's life has changed, especially when he meets someone who has changed his life.
"Sis, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xiao inquired, putting his arm around Lin Tian's shoulder.
Lin Xiao and Lin Hua wondered as Lin Tian was silent for quite a while just after Lin Xiao mentioned about his past life.
"I'm fine," Lin Tian replied trying to regain his composure.
"I'm fine. What am I doing here? Come on, let's talk to dad again."
Lin Tian changed the subject and made Lin Pan a scapegoat so that he would no longer be questioned. However, the call was finally Lin Pan so there was no longer any conversation between the son and his father.
