"Let's go now."
Chris's heart tensed for a while, and he grabbed the ticket and rushed out without even taking out his passport. George followed.
Chris has long been familiar with Elizabeth's behavior style, not to mention Mr. Taylor's influence on her. There is no doubt that Elizabeth wants to take revenge on Chris, and the best way is to hurt Lin Yifei.
Chris made a call to Chen Linji, and the person who answered the phone was Chen Manman, who got Lin Yifei's mobile phone number in London from her.
At this time, Lin Yifei was sleeping soundly, and the phone rang N times, but he just turned over and continued. In the past, it would have taken a lot of effort for Chris to wake him up, not to mention that it happened to be the time when Lin Yifei slept most soundly.
Chris threw the phone on the cushion, put his fist to his lips and thought, then made a call to coach Lippman, asking for a call from Kevin Phil.
"Be optimistic about Yifei, someone from Taylor's family has gone to London."
It's just a simple sentence, and Kevin can understand everything he means.
"I'll look after him."
Lin Yifei woke up the next morning and found that there were more than a dozen calls on his mobile phone. And these calls all came from the same number, and his heart trembled. Even if the number is reversed, he will know who it is. It's been a long time, Chris never called him, why so many calls in one night? Lin Yifei didn't think much about calling back, but what he got was a reminder that the number could not be connected.
What happened
Lin Yifei seemed even more anxious because he couldn't get through the phone.
At this time, Kevin knocked on his door, leaning against the door with a warm smile: "Hurry up and wash up, breakfast is ready."
"Ah good."
When eating breakfast, Lin Yifei seemed a little absent-minded, and he didn't notice that he wiped the jam on his hands.
Kevin sighed slightly, and brought his bread and knife over, "Are you thinking about Chris?"
"ah?"
"I was wondering what he wanted to call you for?" Kevin smiled and spread the jam for him, and put the bread on his dinner plate.
"How do you know he called me?" Lin Yifei stood up as if thinking of something, "He called you too, right? What happened?"
Kevin pushed Lin Yifei back to his seat, "It doesn't matter what happened. You have always been a heart-warming gift. God let you stay by my side, but there is a time limit. Now it's time to return you. "
"What?"
"I mean, Chris will come and take you back himself."
"Chris is here?" Lin Yifei was stunned. So the problems of the Ozbon family are all solved? He's free, isn't he
Kevin reached out and looked at his watch, "Ah, his plane should be arriving soon. You will meet before noon today."
Lin Yifei already showed a joyful expression at this moment, his heart was pounding, and he was even more excited than when he won the Junior World Championships.
"So today I specifically discussed with the coach of Chelsea to give you a day off." Kevin's fingers touched Lin Yifei's forehead, and a lonely smile appeared on his lips.
Lin Yifei spent the whole morning waiting.
He looked at his phone from time to time, thinking that Chris would call him when he got off the plane.
Kevin looked at him amusedly, then went to the kitchen to help him make black tea and prepare snacks.
Finally, the doorbell rang, and Lin Yifei walked quickly to the videophone.
But Kevin actually put down the black tea and pulled Lin Yifei behind him.
"Kevin... what's wrong?" Lin Yifei clearly felt Kevin's nervousness at that moment.
"It's okay." Chris once told him to be careful of the people in Taylor's family. Of course, he had to make sure who they were before opening the door.
What appeared on the screen was Rhett's squishy face.
"It's you." Kevin pushed the door downstairs with some amusement.
But when Lin Yifei opened the door of the apartment, he couldn't help being stunned.
Rhett's expression was tense, the smile on his face froze, and his muscles almost twitched.
And there was a pistol against his head, and the person holding the pistol was Elizabeth.
The heart tightened instantly, and the brain forgot to think.
Her expression was cold, she wondered if she had stayed with Chris for too long, even the decisive eyes were so similar.
"Liz..."
Lin Yifei's hands froze there.
"Don't call me Liz, only my parents have the right to call me that."
The muzzle swayed, Rhett walked into the room stiffly, and said guiltily: "I... I didn't expect anyone to..."
Kevin pulled Lin Yifei behind him naturally, it was his fault. Chris had already reminded him that the people from Taylor's family would come to make trouble, so he canceled all of Lin Yifei's practice in order to let him stay at home, but he didn't expect Elizabeth to come to the door in person in the morning, even with a gun.
Sweat flowed from Kevin's forehead. He had experienced so many thrilling games, but only this moment could truly be called the front line of life and death.
"Lin, you thought the Taylors couldn't find you if you hid in London? Oh, no... It's not you, it's Chris. He doesn't know that when a person loses everything, there's nothing to be afraid of. Even if He hid you in Antarctica, and I will find you out."
"Even if Taylor's family goes bankrupt, it doesn't mean you lose everything." Kevin said coldly.
"The bankruptcy of Taylor's family allowed me to see my father clearly, and also let me see clearly the faces of those so-called friends, and let me see Chris Osborn clearly. I really don't know what else I have." Elizabeth With a sneer, he looked past Kevin and pointed straight at Lin Yifei.
Lin Yifei wanted to go forward, but Kevin stubbornly kept him behind.
"No matter where you go, you seem to have no shortage of protectors." Elizabeth's finger pulled the trigger, "You are not the kind of person who asks others to bear the consequences for you. I'll count to three, you don't come out from behind Kevin Phil , I'll shoot him in the head with one shot."
Rhett's body trembled, and he closed his eyes firmly.
"You dare not." Kevin looked at the sixteen-year-old girl, her eyes were indifferent and crazy.
"Okay, let's try if I dare." Elizabeth's gun pointed down, aiming at Rhett's shoulder.
"Don't!" Lin Yifei stopped. Reid is a professional athlete, and no matter where he is injured, it will bring irreparable losses to his life. This is the grievance between him and Elizabeth, and other people must not be involved.
"Lin!" Kevin twisted Lin Yifei, but he didn't know where he got so much strength, he broke away from Kevin and came in front of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth decisively moved the muzzle of the gun away from Rhett, and put it on Lin Yifei's forehead.
The accident at this moment made everyone freeze there.
"Lin—" Kevin tried to step forward and pull Lin Yifei back, but Elizabeth slammed a gunshot. The bullet grazed Lin Yifei's shoulder and shot into the tea table. nerve.
"Whoever comes over again, I'll blow his head off." Elizabeth snorted coldly, "Close all the curtains."
Kevin swallowed, and closed all the curtains in the living room as she said. The whole living room seemed very quiet.
Rhett was still standing there, looking terrified and unable to move yet.
Elizabeth and Lin Yifei sat by the sofa together. Her elbow rested on the back of the sofa, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Lin Yifei's temple.
"Do you need some tea?" Kevin sat across from him with his arms folded.
"What? You want to call Chris?"
"I don't need to call, he will come here too." Kevin glanced at his watch, "There is still about half an hour, and he should be here."
Lin Yifei sat beside Elizabeth, when she pointed at Rhett, his mind was in a mess, but now when the gun was pointed at his head, his whole thinking became clear.
"Aren't you afraid?" Elizabeth asked with the corners of her mouth pulled.
"Of course I'm afraid."
"I'm a little bored waiting, tell me, what was it like when you and Chris met for the first time?"
"It was in the fifth grade of elementary school. I just transferred to a new school. He slept on the table every day."
"Oh? He has always been so conceited, thinking that he can learn by himself even if he doesn't listen to the lecture."
"No, because he has to get up very early in the morning to deliver newspapers to the neighborhood, and Mrs. Osborne gets off work at the Chinese restaurant too late at night, so he has to pick up his mother."
Elizabeth was silent for a moment, "How did you get to know each other? Was he so nice to you from the beginning?"
"Us?" Lin Yifei sneered, "Chris never wants to talk to me."
"Then when did you become close?" Elizabeth hit Lin Yifei's head with the muzzle of a gun, with a nasty smile on her mouth, "Don't be so stingy, even such a small thing is reluctant to share."
This action made Kevin who was not far away frightened for a while, even Rhett's face turned pale, and his eyes were fixed on the trigger for fear that she would accidentally press it.
“It was like we made a little board house together for a school garden party, and Chris glued shards of glass in every color to the roof and converted it into a music box. I sold it, and Chris was very happy. Angry. Ignored me for days."
Elizabeth smiled wryly. She remembered the music box, which had been placed by Chris' bedside. "What happened later? How did Chris forgive you? Why did the music box go back to Chris?"
"Later..." Lin Yifei lowered his eyebrows, as if remembering something warm, with a faint smile on his lips, "I bought him a set of old fencing protective gear with the money from selling that music house, and he forgave me .”
Of course Elizabeth knew about the protective gear, and it was kept in the closet by Chris like a treasure. Once I accidentally dug it out, and half-jokingly asked Chris why he put the garbage in the cabinet. His eyes were cold, as if he wanted to kill her.
Don't touch my stuff, Chris said.
From then on, even if Elizabeth sat on Chris's chair, she had to be careful not to get wrinkles.
"After a long time, we met again in Washington, and I asked my friends to find the music house back."
Elizabeth smiled all the time, and that smile made people shudder.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Elizabeth motioned for Kevin to open the door with her chin. It must be Chris who came at this time.
Lin Yifei's whole body tensed up. They are now in such a stalemate, how to solve it
Looking at Kevin's face, Chris knew that Elizabeth had arrived.
All he was wearing was a shirt and a thin dark gray trench coat, and it was obvious that he had come to London in a hurry.
When he walked into the living room and saw the gun against Lin Yifei's head, he didn't show any surprise. With his hands still in his pockets, he walked slowly to the sofa and sat face to face with Elizabeth.
"Nice to meet you, my fiancé." Elizabeth laughed. "Ah, I think our engagement has been annulled. I should change my address. Chris, my dearest cousin."
"How much did you pay for that gun?" Chris didn't look at Lin Yifei, but at Elizabeth, without any wavering in his eyes.
"Ten thousand pounds, because I don't have a gun license, so I spent a lot of money." Elizabeth's lips were full of pride, "Didn't you expect that I would come to Lin Yifei in person? Or do you think I will be as stupid as I am?" Like my father, every time he is afraid of his identity being exposed, he always finds some low-level people?"
"It's more at ease to come by yourself." Chris seemed to agree with Elizabeth's judgment.
"You don't ask me what I want by pointing a gun at Lin Yifei?"
"Even if you don't blow his head off, you still want to hurt his leg or shoulder, ruin his fencing career, torture me with his pain, and take revenge on me." Chris said lightly.
"It seems that you know me better than I imagined." Elizabeth smiled more arrogantly, pointing the muzzle of the gun down, and pressed it against Lin Yifei's shoulder, "Where do you think the first shot should be? The shoulder? Or the shin?"
Chris pushed the phone neatly in front of Elizabeth, and said in a low voice, "Do you think it's the shoulder or the tibia?"
In the picture, Mrs. Taylor was sitting on a chair, froze there, as if she couldn't even speak.
Elizabeth's pupils shrank for a while, and she suddenly turned the gun to point at Chris, the cruelty in her eyes was not like that of a sixteen-year-old girl.
"What did you do to my mother! What do you want!"
"Do what you want to do, let's say, shoulder or shin?" Chris's eyes were cold, and he just repeated the question.
"Let my mother go! Or I'll kill you!" Elizabeth roared.
"I thought you even had your gun ready, and you were ready to lose everything you have." Chris turned sideways, looking unmoved by anything.
"I said let my mother go! She is your aunt!"
"Aunt? Since I was a child, she has never said anything to me, nor has she done anything for me. Such an aunt is just a noun."
"Do you think your father will let you go if you hurt my mother? That's his own sister!"
"Even if I get shot, how can my dad punish me?" Chris leaned back and leaned completely on the sofa, while Elizabeth stretched her arms, and the gun was only two or two inches away from Chris' head. Only three centimeters.
Although the gun was no longer aimed at Lin Yifei, he felt even more terrified, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that Elizabeth would pull the trigger the moment he gasped.
What do I do, how do I take that gun away
Lin Yifei understood why Chris had been provoking Elizabeth all the time, just to attract her anger and ensure his own safety.
It seems that only Chris and Elizabeth are left in this world, and this is a war between the two of them.
"Why don't you shoot and try?" Chris said slowly, "Don't you want to know what the effect will be after shooting?"
Elizabeth stared at Chris, gritted her teeth and said nothing.
"My brains will burst into your face. Red and white together." Chris's tone was still flat.
"I told you to let my mother go! Do you think I really can't shoot?"
"I thought you really didn't care about anything anymore." Chris pulled the corners of his lips, leaned forward, and leaned forward.
But Elizabeth couldn't help but backed away, and she seemed to be frightened while holding the gun.
"I never belonged to you, Elizabeth. From very early on, I didn't even belong to myself. You are ready to give up what you have for someone who can never belong to you. Why?" Chris's voice It was still cold, but there was a hint of softness.
"Losing this arranged marriage and losing the assets of the Taylor family, you are still the cousin of the Ozborne family, holding 6% of the shares and still living proudly, using your happiness to avenge me. "
Elizabeth's shoulders trembled, and she wanted to cry. When her true heart was discarded like garbage, she felt that she had nothing, no wealth, no pride, no self-esteem, but at this moment she realized that she was Yes, but she was so hurt that she forgot.
"When you shot, you were nothing more than a silly woman with nothing but jealousy. Your poor mother is still alive to clean up the mess for you. She has had a hard time marrying an ambitious man like your father. Now, even the little share your grandfather left her is hard to keep. She can't hold her head up no matter in Taylor's house or Ozburn's house. The world is so big, there will be no place for her anymore. "
Tears were already falling down Elizabeth's face.
"Put down the gun." Chris pointed to the mobile phone on the table, "Your mother is watching you."
"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Elizabeth turned sideways and pointed the gun at Lin Yifei again, "Why do you have everything? The wealth of the Oz family, the father who loves you, and the people you like!"
Lin Yifei looked at Chris, but there was no look of fear on his face. Chris' eyes calmed him.
"I'll give you ten seconds to let go of everything." Chris put his palm on his heart, and what he asked Elizabeth to put down was not the gun, but the weight in his heart, "If you can't let go, then bear it forever .”
Elizabeth's lips trembled, and she couldn't let it go, couldn't let it go. It's been five years since she met Chris when she was eleven years old, how will she let go
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Mrs. Taylor shook her head desperately in the mobile phone video, and Chris called out the sound of the video.
"Liz! Liz don't do stupid things! Liz! Mommy please!"
"Six, five, four..."
With Elizabeth's finger on the trigger, Kevin and Red stand there wide-eyed, as if the world has finally come to an end.
"three two… "
"Ah... ah..." Elizabeth suddenly cried loudly, pain, grief and anger, all rushed out like a bank burst.
Lin Yifei slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed Elizabeth's gun.
Kevin swallowed, his muscles tensed. He wanted to step forward to help him, but he was afraid of irritating Elizabeth. If she went crazy again, who could stop her
But Lin Yifei was extremely calm, he slowly opened Elizabeth's fingers, the gun turned half a circle, and fell into Lin Yifei's hands.
Elizabeth still maintained that action, as if her life was frozen there.
Chris stood up suddenly, pulled Lin Yifei into his arms, tremblingly took the gun from Lin Yifei's hand, unloaded the bullet, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The whole living room was extremely quiet except for Elizabeth's crying.
Chris hugged Lin Yifei so tightly that he could hardly breathe. Chris inserted his fingers into Lin Yifei's soft black hair, pressed his head to himself, and kissed his cheek and forehead very hard. Lin Yifei felt his embrace and his trembling breathing.
It turned out that Chris was not as calm as he imagined. When those bullets fell on the ground, his fear surged out.
Lin Yifei hugged Chris tightly, patted his back, and his nose became sore.
They finally hugged each other tightly. For more than a year, they didn't speak or contact each other, and even the miss was soaked in the air.
Chris kissed Lin Yifei's lips frantically, snatching his breath, biting his chin addictively, as if he wanted to rub Lin Yifei into his own flesh and blood to feel at ease.
Kevin on the side let out a long sigh.
Rhett, who was scared out of his wits just now, just returned to his head, but the kiss of the two people in front of him made people petrified.
"What... what should we do now?" Rhett murmured.
George came in and gave Kevin and Rhett a slight salute.
He put a coat on Elizabeth who was kneeling on the sofa and weeping, and said indifferently: "Miss Elizabeth, Mrs. Taylor is waiting for you downstairs."
Elizabeth shuddered all over.
"What did you say?"
"Mrs. Taylor is waiting for you downstairs."
"Mom... Mom was arrested by you..."
"The video on the phone was taken in a secluded location in the cafe opposite. We didn't hold Mrs. Taylor hostage." George explained calmly.
Elizabeth turned her face sideways and looked at Chris who was hugging Lin Yifei tightly.
All the other party's attention was on Lin Yifei.
It turned out that I was too stupid, Lin Yifei was the only one in Chris's world. He didn't need anyone else to walk in at all.
"Miss Elizabeth, please remember that you are the cousin of the Ozburn family, a proud lady, even if you lose everything, you can walk with your chin up and your back straight while everyone ridicules you."
Elizabeth looked at George and sneered, "This sentence sounds familiar."
"That's what the master once told the lady."
Remember that you are the princess of the Ozborn family, the proud lady, who can walk on with her chin raised and her back straight despite all the ridicule of everyone, even if she loses everything.
Elizabeth stood up slowly, trying to calm her excitement, raised her head and walked towards the door.
Chris Osborne, thank you for letting me grow.
Although, the growing pains are driving me crazy.
Finally, only Chris was left in the living room, imprisoning Lin Yifei like a sculpture.
Rhett turned his head stiffly to look at Kevin, "What shall we do now...?"
"Drink some tea and have a snack."
Kevin turned and walked to the kitchen.
The water in the teapot was completely cold. He propped his head on the table and lowered his head, tears falling down involuntarily. He has always been very confident, thinking that he is very mature and reliable. Compared with Chris' indifference and stubbornness, he is more tolerant of Lin Yifei. He will comb his unfurled feathers for him, and spare no effort to support him to fly into the sky.
But he was wrong, if Lin Yifei really yearned for the sky, it was because Chris flew too high.
He is a gift, a time-limited gift.
Kevin had long been prepared to return him, but the moment he let go, his heart still hurt.
Rhett turned away, looked at Kevin's curved back, and walked over. It wasn't the first day he met him, so Rhett realized earlier than Kevin that he cared more about the boy than he appreciated it.
"Everything will be fine, Kevin."
"I know."
After Chris regained his composure, the belated afternoon tea was served on the table.
Kevin sat across the tea table, watching Chris even though he let go of Lin Yifei, still holding his wrist.
"Try the black tea I make, it's no worse than Oz's."
"Thank you." Chris picked up the black tea, took a sip of the hot steam, and then put it down slowly, "It's very fragrant."
"Is everything at home settled?"
"Yes. So tonight I will take Yifei back to Washington."
Lin Yifei was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chris to be so anxious to return to the United States.
"Yeah, as long as there are no restraints, you will definitely come and take Lin away like your butt is on fire." Kevin held the teacup gracefully, and responded to Chris, "Next time, see you at the World Championships."
When he came to Lin Yifei's room, Chris packed his luggage so fast that Lin Yifei was speechless.
In less than ten minutes, all the things belonging to Lin Yifei in the whole room were put away in the suitcase in an orderly manner. But Lin Yifei just stood there blankly, Chris's mobility made him unable to recover.
"Chris..." Lin Yifei still felt like he was in a dream. Just now Elizabeth was pointing a gun at them, Lin Yifei had already prepared for the worst. But at this moment, all problems seemed to be solved in an instant.
After zipping up the suitcase, Chris raised his head and pulled Lin Yifei past, followed by another crazy kiss. With too much strength, Lin Yifei knelt and sat on the ground stupidly, his knee hurt a little, while Chris simply sat on the suitcase, holding the back of Lin Yifei's head and continuing to do whatever he wanted.
"This is... this is Kevin's house..." Lin Yifei hugged him, not knowing how to make him stop.
They have too much to express, their language becomes weak, and it seems that only constant kisses and hugs can confirm each other.
Chris stopped, panting with Lin Yifei touching their foreheads.
"I miss you."
A very light sentence, because it comes from Chris, it is extremely precious.
"Are you sure you don't need to take a break to leave after wearing stars and wearing moons?" Kevin leaned against the door with his arms folded, and looked at the two jokingly.
"Yes."
"Okay." Kevin smiled lightly, "Then remember, if you are not as strong as you think, I will take him away at any time."
Chris and Kevin looked at each other, there was no strong smell of gunpowder or any provocation, and there was a quiet atmosphere in the air.
"You won't have that chance."
Pulling up the suitcase, Chris grabbed Lin Yifei's wrist as usual, and led him out of Kevin's apartment.
On the window sill, Kevin watched as Chris opened the door for Lin Yifei, and then put his suitcase into the trunk. When the car started, Lin Yifei rolled the window and waved at Kevin on the window sill.
His smile is a bit awkward and embarrassed, because Chris always has a personality that can do whatever he wants.
But Kevin knew that that was his favorite smile, as bright and clean as the air penetrated by sunlight.
Always smile like this if you can.
When the car moved away and Lin Yifei was about to lose sight of Kevin, Chris put his arms around his waist and hugged him back.
When Lin Yifei turned his head, Chris' head was resting on his back. He understood what Chris was trying to convey.
Don't have too much nostalgia for other people, I will be uneasy.
Along the way, Chris has been tightly clasping Lin Yifei's wrist, which has almost become his habitual action. After the seven-hour long-distance flight, Chris brought Lin Yifei back to Oz's home.
George hasn't come back yet, and the servants don't know where they are.
Chris threw Lin Yifei's luggage by the door, and couldn't wait to hug him and kiss him. Along the way, Lin Yifei knew that Chris was enduring, that he wanted to own himself more than ever.
His tongue aggressively invaded Lin Yifei's mouth, pressing him against the door and kissing him forcefully. The back of his head was in pain from the embossment on the mahogany door, Lin Yifei struggled a little, and the opponent pressed him back harder, and even his back felt a dull pain.
Chris had his lips in his mouth, sucking obsessively, his palms picked up the hem of his t-shirt and ripped open his pants.
"Chris... Chris..." Lin Yifei frowned, not daring to make any resistance, for fear that his refusal would hurt him, "It hurts so much..."
Only then did Chris stop, and reached out to hug Lin Yifei, as if he was sorry for his rudeness, stroking his sore back.
"I'm sorry I scared you."
Chris gently pushed aside the bangs on Lin Yifei's forehead, revealing his eyes, and kissed his eyelids lightly.
"I really want to have you right now."
Lin Yifei's heart trembled, he knew that Chris still remembered the promise between them, that is to wait until they are adults.
At that time, Lin Yifei said that he would wait until he became an adult because he felt that Chris was still a child, and they still needed time to determine what they wanted.
But now, Lin Yifei is more determined than ever, he wants to be with him.
"There are still one year, one month and twelve days." Lin Yifei kissed the tip of Chris's nose, his eyes were sly.
"But I can kiss you casually, can't I?" Chris dragged Lin Yifei upstairs, and the whole Ozben's house seemed to become their playground.
Lin Yifei was kissed by Chris over and over again, it was a kind of pursuit, a kind of persistence.
He felt that all this was beautiful like a dream.
They belonged to each other long before their swords were in hand and their ambitions were high.
The author has something to say: You can't see anything when you open it because Jinjiang has a convulsion...
Tomorrow there will be a sweet episode. Before rebirth, Chris was a black-bellied and indifferent attacker... It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to make a move, so he was gameover, so this life is so anxious... Haha...

Thank you for having so many friends who stood up for me until the end and never gave up on me. I can't say anything else but grateful. I wish you all a happy reading.
