In fact, there is no chance, what should happen, will happen.
In the morning, Lin Zhaoxi rolled on the bed, barely opened her eyes, and the sky outside the balcony was extremely bright.
She rested the wrist of the electronic watch that Pei Zhi borrowed from her on the pillow, and glanced at it.
Ten fifteen ah... Such thoughts slipped through her mind, and before she was about to sink to the bottom, the number was finally connected with time.
Lin Zhaoxi woke up immediately, washed and changed quickly, and when she rushed down the corridor, she saw many adults.
The father was carrying the child's schoolbag, the mother was holding the child's hand, and the family of three walked downstairs with brisk steps.
Lin Zhaoxi could only lower her pace and follow behind them.
On the stairs, the mother pointed her head back and asked her child quietly: "Are you a classmate?"
"Ah yes! Her name is Lin Zhaoxi, and she has excellent grades!" The little girl said heartily.
"Oh, look at others, you have to study hard."
Lin Zhaoxi could only wave and say hello, "Hello Auntie, Hello Uncle."
Auntie: "Hello Xiaolin, are your parents coming to pick you up?"
"Eh..." Lin Zhaoxi thought for a while, and could only say, "Actually, I don't really know."
"Oh, maybe your parents are going to give you a surprise, and they will be there downstairs."
Lin Zhaoxi smiled awkwardly, thinking that she was frightened.
But the scare came true when she followed the family of three around the corner and had a sweeping view of the downstairs living room.
"Sister!" Downstairs, Lin Aimin called out first.
Professor Shen and his wife sat on the left and right sides of Lin Aimin, and they looked at her with gentle smiles.
The temperament of this couple is really extraordinary. Seeing them, the eyes of the classmate's mother walking in front instantly lit up.
Lin Zhaoxi was so surprised that she couldn't speak, because she not only saw Lin Aimin and Professor Shen and his wife, but also saw Pei Zhixiao who was sitting on the other side of the sofa.
Pei Zhi was still holding the box of Kongming Chess, as if he could finally play his favorite game on the day off, very detached and unaware of everything.
Lin Zhaoxi looked away, and her classmate's mother had already walked up to Professor Shen's wife to say hello, "Hello, are you here to pick up the child too?"
Professor Shen and his wife stood up quickly, but before they could speak, the aunt went on to say, "Your daughter has good grades, but my daughter was still talking about it..."
Professor Shen and his wife were obviously embarrassed, and Lin Zhaoxi didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
At this time, Pei Zhi, who had been playing chess silently on the sofa, raised his head, and the young boy said in a very peaceful tone, "Hello, Professor Shen, Auntie, I am also a classmate of Lin Zhaoxi."
His voice was clear and clear. The classmate's mother was still smiling, but her smile suddenly froze in embarrassment.
Pei Zhi's words had a very skillful ending, it looked like a child interrupted at will, but at the same time he pointed out the difference between the "Shen" and "Lin" surnames, smart adults can easily find the problems in it.
After a while, the wind blew, and the whole embarrassing scene recovered slightly.
"Hello Hello… "
"thanks, thanks… "
Everyone knew it, and the adults began to greet each other again.
Lin Zhaoxi nodded to Professor Shen and his wife, and did not intentionally embarrass them. She patted Lin Aimin's head and sat down in the middle of the sofa.
Pei Zhixiao put down the Kongming chess in his hand, and glanced over.
Through the small half of the sofa, Lin Zhaoxi looked at Pei Zhi's slightly sideways face, and was at a loss for words.
"Master said that he won't take us for a picnic until he finishes his work in the cafeteria at noon, about two o'clock."
Before she could ask, Pei Zhi had already answered with empathy.
"Have you already visited Master?"
"Um."
"Thank you for your kindness." Lin Zhaoxi quietly cupped his fists at him.
"It's still needed." Pei Zhi said.
"What?"
"Thank you." Pei Zhixiao said seriously, "Let's owe it first."
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
—
Later, Lin Zhaoxi found out that Professor Shen and his wife had officially completed the formalities of adopting Lin Aimin, because Lin Aimin was always arguing to see her, and they were also entrusted by the orphanage, so he drove Lin Aimin here.
They have lunch with her, and they will go back.
Mrs. Shen explained that as she walked side by side on the path to the restaurant.
Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head, keeping a certain distance between her worn sneakers and Mrs. Shen's black pumps.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Zhaoxi said.
Mrs. Shen's gentle eyes fell on her face, the wind blew her temples, she seemed to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Aimin.
"Brother Xi, why do you suddenly look like a Super Saiyan!" Lin Aimin rushed over holding the small plane, and suddenly shouted, "Everyone says you have excellent grades."
At this moment, Lin Zhaoxi remembered hitting Lin Aimin's head hard, and stared at him with wide eyes. He was usually called Brother Xi, why did he have to be called Sister just now.
Lin Aimin stuck out his tongue, and he could clearly see that little thought.
"Because my sister studies hard, you have to learn from her." Professor Shen stroked Lin Aimin's head, and casually gave an explanation like every adult would say. .
"No, because my sister is smart." By accident, Lin Zhaoxi remembered Lao Lin's tone of voice, and continued.
After she finished speaking, she subconsciously went to see Professor Shen.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, and after a while, he looked at her wife and smiled, amused by her.
Professor Shen rubbed her head and smiled sincerely: "Of course we are smart all the time."

At noon, Oasis base restaurant.
Weekends are the peak time for family outings. The round tables on the second floor of the cafeteria are full of seats, and the waiters shuttle around with trays. Children and adults are laughing and laughing constantly.
Looking down from the window on the second floor, you can see a large lotus pond, the stamens are just blooming, and the lake breeze is pleasant. Lin Zhaoxi held her head, but her mood was not so pleasant.
Yes, she went out early and came back late, and spent a week in the cafeteria, but she didn't know that the restaurant in the oasis base was on the second floor of the cafeteria, but their entrances were no longer the same.
Professor Shen and his wife said that when they went to the restaurant for dinner, she was still thinking that it would be fine, that they should not bump into Lao Lin, but now that they went directly to the second floor of the cafeteria, everything was hard to say.
Lin Zhaoxi rubbed her forehead and looked around quietly. She didn't know why she was so afraid of being seen by Lao Lin. Lao Lin definitely didn't know that she was his daughter, so she shouldn't be sad if she saw it, right
The waiter brought up a bunch of freshly squeezed orange juice, and Mrs. Shen poured a glass for her and Lin Aimin each, and asked while flipping through the menu, "Is there anything you want to eat in Chaoxi?"
"Whatever... whatever!"
"Eat some fish, the lake is fresh this season, you study hard..."
"No... it doesn't need to be too expensive!"
Even so, when the dishes finally came out, there was still a full table with a dozen large and small plates, completely exceeding the weight of two big and two small.
Lin Aimin was very happy, shouting wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
Madam Shen patted him with a smile, took out a wet towel, wiped his hands all over, put another bowl of soup in front of him, and said with a smile, "Drink the soup first."
"Mom, you drink too." Lin Aimin said sensiblely.
Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile.
—
The family enjoyed themselves happily, and the restaurant was full of such scenes, which made people feel envious.
In the aisle in the distance, the waiter who was carrying the plate stopped suddenly, because the master standing in front of him, pushing the cart, stopped.
The tableware on the trolley was to be transported from the second floor to the first floor, greasy
The waiter looked along the line of sight of the cart driver in front and saw a family of four enjoying a meal by the window.
It looks like a rich family, and they ordered a large table, but each dish only moved a little.
"Master Lin?" the waiter asked the person in front
"It's okay." The other party replied.
—
For a meal, Lin Zhaoxi ate with trepidation at first, but then sat uncomfortably.
I didn't know it before, and I thought they were very amiable couples of professors. After getting in touch with them a lot, Lin Zhaoxi found that Professor Shen and his wife had an obviously noble temperament of a scholarly family.
There must be rules in eating, rules in speaking, and rules everywhere. It's not bad, but let alone Lin Aimin, who is lively and active, even if she is an adult at heart, she will feel that there are needles on the stool after eating. .
After the meal, Professor Shen and his wife were going to take Lin Aimin back, and Lin Zhaoxi and they walked on the path of the botanical garden.
Professor Shen deliberately took Lin Aimin's hand and walked in front, while Mrs. Shen stayed behind. After walking for a while, Mrs. Shen spoke softly.
"Chaoxi, we really want a daughter."
Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head and said nothing.
"I heard from your dean that you may have some resistance to being adopted because of your age."
"If you have any concerns, you can tell Auntie."
Lin Zhaoxi thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Auntie, I don't really have any worries."
"That's why, if there is anything about us that you don't like, you are welcome to bring it up."
"I don't like it." Lin Zhaoxi said honestly, "But I don't like it either."
The laughter of father and son came from the front.
There was a moment of astonishment on Mrs. Shen's face, she didn't expect that she would dare to say it.
After a while, Mrs. Shen said: "What should I do, after hearing what you said, I like you even more."
"For...why?"
"You are a very real child." Mrs. Shen said.
Surrounded by shrubs of different heights, large patches of mint and geraniums swaying in the wind.
"You said you were smart, but in fact, both Lao Shen and I felt that the most important quality of a child is not smartness, but truthfulness."
She squatted down and looked into her eyes, "Dean Shen taught you very well. We still sincerely hope that you can consider us both and give us a chance to be your parents. We really like you very much."
Lin Zhaoxi looked at the sincere lady in front of her, and didn't know what to say.
—
Mrs. Shen's last words kept in my ears.
After seeing off their family of three, Lin Zhaoxi returned to the cafeteria on the first floor. The unpretentious taste of the food that hit her face immediately made her feel relaxed.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a large and a small sitting opposite each other on a table near the door. It was Lao Lin and Pei Zhi.
After one o'clock in the afternoon, the cafeteria was not so lively, so Lao Lin found time to play Kongming chess with Pei Zhi.
Lin Zhaoxi walked over quietly, and found that there was a bag on the dining table, which contained vegetables and rice, so this is the picnic supplies that Lao Lin prepared
"Back?" Lao Lin asked her
"Oh, yes."
After Lin Zhaoxi finished speaking casually, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Did Lao Lin know
Why did she have the illusion of being caught for something bad
