"Teacher, there is no other choice?" Lin Jinran was silent for a long time and finally asked. However, as soon as she finished asking, Bao Chunbin glared at her, "Are other choices? Do you think there is something more favorable than the Zhou family."

Lin Jinran smiled faintly, "That's not, but teacher, you said too, the Zhou family is not as good as ordinary people, I'm afraid of making mistakes."

Bao Chunbin looked at her with disgust, "You are still afraid of making mistakes, and when will your courage become smaller?"

Lin Jinran, “…”

"Okay, go. I'll feel more at ease when you're in the Zhou family. Lao Yang will take care of you." Bao Chunbin finished speaking and issued the order to expel guests, "I have a class, so you can go back first."

Lin Jinran pursed her lips and said nothing more. She just stopped when she walked to the door of the office, "Teacher."

Bao Chunbin looked up at her, "What else is there?"

"I want to ask, what's wrong with Mr. Zhou who came yesterday and why he had to be in a wheelchair."

"You ask what you do."

"Nothing, curious."

"You are still curious about this, and you may come into contact with it anyway, so I'll tell you." Bao Chunbin said, "Mr. Zhou has had chronic diseases since he was a child, and his condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad. According to Lao Yang, Mr. Zhou was injured in the earthquake in Wenchuan many years ago, and his health seemed to be worse later."

Lin Jinran was slightly stagnant. She knew that he had an old disease, but wasn't he taken back intact by the Zhou family during the earthquake?

"How did he get hurt?"

"I don't know this." Bao Chunbin said again, "Actually, his legs are nothing big. Maybe it's just that he is in poor health recently, so he is inconvenient to walk."

Lin Jinran said, "Okay, I understand."

Lin Jinran pushed the door out. When he closed the door, he vaguely heard Bao Chunbin muttering, "I'm just a young child, why don't I care about my body so much? The Zhou family is indeed not very normal..."

On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Jinran's mind was full of Zhou Zhengxian's appearance yesterday. In fact, just looking at his appearance, he really couldn't tell what was wrong with him. She never thought that he could not be fully walked out of that earthquake. She thought he would always be carefully considered by each other. After all, in the eyes of everyone, only he, the eldest son of the Zhou family, is the most important.

Lin Jinran was so confused that he didn't notice Wu Jitong and a few boys walking towards him with a smile.

"Senior sister, what a coincidence, where are you going?"

Lin Jinran raised his eyes when he heard the sound. When he saw that it was Wu Jitong, he laughed and said, "Go back to the dormitory."

Wu Jitong said, "Senior Sister, have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

"Then let's go together, I'm going to have dinner with my classmates."

After Wu Jitong finished speaking, the boys around him all lit up, but before he could even ask for an invitation, he heard Lin Jinran say, "No, you go by yourself."

Wu Jitong was used to her like this, so she murmured in a low voice, "Don't smoke again, you can't eat it as a meal."

Lin Jinran glanced at him, "Don't meddle in other people's business, kid."

"Who is the kid!"

Lin Jinran raised his eyebrows, and the meaning of "Who else besides you" in his eyes was very obvious.

Wu Jitong glanced at her, her eyes full of displeasure.

Lin Jinran ignored him and turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

After Lin Jinran walked away, the boys behind Wu Jitong came up and said, "Hey, you have a good relationship with Senior Sister Lin, and you can't even scream at all."

Wu Jitong shrugged and said casually, "It's probably you idle people here, she doesn't like strangers very much."

"Yo Jitong, it's amazing." One of the boys said, "I said you can't be together."

"Together?" Wu Jitong almost laughed out loud, "Where is this?"

"Don't hide it, everyone knows that you are closest to her. How is it like, how is the iceberg beauty?"

"Damn what the hell are you talking about?" Wu Jitong suddenly looked like "I can't afford this Buddha", "Don't talk nonsense!"

"...I'll just say it casually, why are you so excited?"

Wu Jitong glanced at him, "Can you be serious, a man? Lin Jinran is my senior sister. She has helped me a lot in academics. If you dare to slander her again, be careful that I will turn against you."

Several boys looked at each other, "Okay, okay, don't say it..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zhou's house, the huge room, the lights are dim.

Zhou Zhengxian woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body. He frowned and sat up from the bed.

Subconsciously raising his hand and touching his forehead, the back of his hand suddenly became wet and cold.

I had that dream again.

It has been so long, but the dream is still so clear.

The girl's choked sound, the loud bang of the house...

Zhou Zhengxian smiled bitterly, maybe he will never forget the broken world, the fear and pain of those people, and even more so that he can't forget who can't save her, himself.

"Zhou Yan."

The door was quickly pushed in. A man approached and stood respectfully beside the bed, "Young Master, you are awake."

"Yeah." Zhou Zhengxian lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Seeing this, Zhou Yan hurriedly wanted to help him.

"No need." Zhou Zhengxian raised his hand to stop him. He walked to the coffee table, picked up a glass of water from the glass shore and took a sip, "Are the second uncle and the others back?"

"Yes, the third young master is back too."

"Okay, let Wien come over later."

"Yes, young master." Zhou Yan said, looking at Zhou Zhengxian with some concern, "Young master, are you having a nightmare again?"

Zhou Zhengxian didn't say anything.

Zhou Yan frowned slowly, "Things have been going on for so many years, and you are not wrong, why do you torture yourself like this?"

Zhou Zhengxian put down the glass, but he didn't look back, but his voice came coldly, "It's not that I want to torture myself, it's that I can't forget it. I really sorry for that child."

Zhou Yan lowered his eyes, "If this happens again, we will still choose to save you, Young Master. Young Master is the heir of the Zhou family. As the descendants of the Zhou family who support the Zhou family, we should put the overall situation first."

Zhou Zhengxian smiled faintly, but his eyes were silent, "I remember she had always called your brother before. If she was still there, could you still say this?"

Zhou Yan slowly clenched his hands, "My uncle can make this choice, so naturally... I can do it."

Zhou Zhengxian's eyes were slightly narrowed and his voice was slightly deeper, "You go out."

"Young Master..."

Zhou Zhengxian didn't say anything, but sat down on the sofa. Seeing this, Zhou Yan had to retreat silently. However, when he closed the door, he heard Zhou Zhengxian say in a shallow voice, "You can all, but I can't..."

It was already a week later when Lin Jinran stood at the door of Zhou's house.

She really didn't know if she should come back here. Maybe she wouldn't make up her mind to come over if she didn't call her mother two days ago when she wanted to go out to work.

Although her current mother is not her biological mother, she treats her no differently from her biological child. For Lin Jinran, her adoptive mother and adoptive father are extremely important people.

Her adoptive father was a retired soldier. He dug her out of the ruins back then. In the earthquake, she was scarred and her face was destroyed and bloody... Her adoptive father knew what the price would be to take her away, but he still did not hesitate.

Careful care and a new look, they took her out of the haze and made her live a new person. She will never forget this kindness.

Now my father is sick and needs a lot of medicine to raise, while my mother is just a housewife. She can definitely not support this family by relying on her pension alone...

The Zhou family is a very tempting existence. Bao Chunbin is right. There is no better treatment than the Zhou family. The salary is not a little higher than that of the average big family, so she must go.

"Hello, is it Miss Lin?" A young man in his twenties walked out of the door.

Lin Jinran nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, come in with me, I'll take you to Dr. Yang's place."

"Thank you." Lin Jinran followed the young man into the Zhou family.

Along the way, Lin Jinran discovered that the Zhou family had some changes. The corridors, rockery, and stone bridges were no longer what she remembered. I remember that she was only 10 years old when she first came here. At that time, her biological mother passed away. He had divorced her mother for a long time and brought her and her sister here. The man said that this would be her home in the future and he would take good care of them...

Recalling this, Lin Jinran smiled contemptuously.

When I was a child, I was really too naive. He would think of it whatever he said.

At that time, she would never have thought that the huge Zhou family was not her home at all.

The Zhou family has been passed down all the way and has developed to this day. A long time ago, many people here did not have their surnames in Zhou except for the direct Zhou family. However, after following the master of the Zhou family, they changed their surnames. Her ancestors probably did not have their surnames at all, but because they were used by the Zhou family for generations, they changed their surnames according to the rules.

So even though their surname is Zhou, their status is very different. This is not her home, but their loyalty and faith lies.

When she was a child, she never thought that loyalty and faith would be more important than blood ties. In that person's heart, she and her sister were not the closest person. The biological daughter... These four words are probably just decorations in his heart.

"By the way, I heard that the Zhou family is very strict in terms of rules. The person in charge is called... Zhou Ming?"

"The rules are of course strict, and you outsiders must abide by them." The young man said, "But Uncle Zhou Ming had returned to Sichuan two years ago. Now he is not the one in charge. Weird, how could you know."

Lin Jinran paused, "Oh, I heard from my teacher before, and I have some impression."

"In this way, Uncle Zhou Ming retired two years ago."

"kindness."

It turns out that I'm not here anymore.

Lin Jinran's heart was gone, and he didn't know whether to be grateful or disappointed.
