Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 69

Sitting on the bicycle, Chen Xi stretched her neck to look in Luo Lisa's direction and asked Chen Yiran, "Brother, what happened to Sister Luo Lisa?"

She still prefers the Luo Lisa from two days ago.

"I don't know, Xixi sit down properly. I’m ready to go."

"En." Chen Xi nodded and grabbed her brother's waist with her small hands.

After a week of irregularity, Luo Lisa changed back to her old self: skipping classes frequently and occasionally getting into fights. The only difference is that she never went to find Chen Yiran again.

The days of high school passed quickly, and for Chen Yiran, who was concentrating on his studies, time flew by even more. When he was in his third year of high school, he officially told Chen Zui and Zhen Tian that he planned to study abroad. Although they were a bit reluctant to part with him, they both supported his decision.

Chen Xi usually looks very sensible, but because of Chen Yiran's going abroad, she lost her temper and cried countless times. She has been taken care of by Chen Yiran since she was born, and she is very dependent on her brother. Chen Zui and Zhen Tian coaxed her for a long time before she accepted this reality.

Li Linlin was also as sad as Chen Xi. She hasn't grown up yet, so why is Brother Yiran leaving?!

Chen Yiran is also reluctant to part with his friends and family in China, but he has his own plans for the future. Chen Zui used to complain that he had a lot of his own ideas since he was a child, which is true.

In the last year of high school, Chen Yiran put in a lot of effort in studying, taking exams, and preparing to go abroad. His father is over there, so Chen Zui and Zhen Tian are not worried that no one will take care of him.

However, Chen Yiran told them that he was already an adult and did not need others to take care of him.

On the day he left, the whole family went to the airport to see him off, and Li Linlin also followed. The adults are okay, they only said a lot of words of caution. The two children, on the other hand, cried their eyes out in the middle of the airport.

Chen Yiran looked at the two little girls and felt a little headache, "Xixi, Linlin, be good, don't cry, I'm going to leave forever."

Chen Xi asked him while crying, "Then are you coming back during winter and summer vacation?"

"Uh..." Chen Yiran planned to work there as an intern during the winter and summer vacations. Seeing him hesitate, Chen Xi cried even more fiercely, "Brother doesn't want Xixi anymore, wah——"

Chen Yiran, “...”

He also wanted to coax Chen Xi that he would come back, but if he didn't come back then, wouldn't it make Xixi even more sad?

"Xixi be good, your brother is going to study. Even if he is not around, you can still make phone calls and video calls every day." Zhen Tian took a tissue and squatted down to help Chen Xi wipe away tears, "Xixi, be brave so that your brother can study there with peace of mind."

Zhen Tian's words are still very useful to Chen Xi. She held her mother's hand and held back her tears, "Then brother should study hard when he is abroad, and Xixi will also study hard."

“En, I will." Chen Yiran rubbed Chen Xi's head and then Linlin’s, "Linlin don't cry anymore, it doesn't look good when you cry."

Li Linlin also held back her tears and clenched her small fists, "Brother Yiran, I will study hard, and then I will be admitted to the same school as you. You have to wait for Linlin!"

Chen Yiran laughed. By the time she’s in college, he would have already graduated. But he still smiled and nodded, "En, Linlin's grades are so good, you will definitely get in."

This farewell lasted until Chen Yiran couldn’t hold back any longer. Seeing his figure disappear at the other end of the airport, Chen Xi and Li Linlin, who had just held back their tears, started to cry again.

Zhen Tian's eyes were also a little red. Chen Zui held her shoulders and brought her into his arms, "Didn't you just tell Xixi to be brave? If you cried too, no one can coax Xixi .”

"En." Zhen Tian nodded and smiled at Chen Zui.

They can still comfort each other together, but Chen Yiran is still miserable, crying like a fool on the plane alone.

Parting is always sentimental, but one always has to move forward.

After Chen Yiran left, he stayed there for five years and got a master's degree. He also returned to China several times, but he didn't stay for long each time.

After graduating with a master's degree, he did not continue to study for a Ph. D. but joined Zhan Xu's company to start working. For a time, Chen Xi thought that he was planning to stay abroad for development and would not come back anymore.

Li Linlin also thinks so, so she has worked hard to study in recent years. The year Chen Yiran left, she had just entered the fourth grade of elementary school. To go abroad to study earlier, she skipped a grade halfway through, shortening the eight-year course to seven years.

Li Linlin is also in her third year of high school this year. When she was a child, she told Chen Yiran to wait for her at the university. Although it is ridiculous to think about it now, her first choice was Chen Yiran's university. Anyway, Chen Yiran is also staying in the United States to work, so there was not much difference.
.
At half past eleven in the evening, Li Linlin was still working on practice exams. Since entering the third year of high school, she has ranked first in every exam in her grade, but she still dares not take it lightly. Chen Yiran's university is very good abroad, and the classmates who are competing with her are also very good people.

The phone on the table lit up. If the message wasn’t from Chen Xi, Li Linlin would probably ignore it.

Xixi: Linlin, are you asleep?

Linlin: Not yet, what's the matter baby?

Xixi: I just received news that my brother may return to China next year!

Linlin: Oh, how long is he going to stay this time?

Xixi: No, he’s coming back for work! It seems that his father's company is going to open a branch in China, and he will be in charge of it when he comes back!

Linlin:!

Linlin: Linlin: IsTheSourceReliable.jpg

Xixi: AbsolutelyReliable.jpg

Linlin: But you just used the words "may" and "it seems" [picking nose]

Xixi:...

Xixi: I will tell you after I confirm with my brother! If he comes back, you don't have to go abroad!!! [flower]

Chen Xi is only a sophomore in high school now and has already been left behind by Li Linlin. It was only later that she found out that her best friend, Linlin, had always liked her brother.

Although Li Linlin is no longer her classmate, their relationship is still as good as ever. If Linlin also leaves her and goes abroad, she will be even more lonely in China.

As for the university that Linlin and her brother were admitted to, she couldn't even get accepted no matter how hard she tried.

Xixi is desperate.

Chen Xi quickly identified the source of the news. Chen Yiran personally said that he would return to China next year. As a result, Li Linlin's college decision was also changed, becoming the top university in China, Imperial University.

Of course, it is very good to be able to get into Imperial University, but she has always been preparing to go abroad. Li Shen has finally accepted the reality that her daughter is about to leave him but she suddenly chose not to leave.

"Wanwan, do you think Linlin is doing this because of Chen Yiran?" As her parents, Li Shen and Yu Wan noticed earlier than Chen Xi that Li Linlin likes Chen Yiran. It's just that Linlin was still young at that time, so they regarded it as a little sister's admiration for her big brother, thinking that when she grew up, it would fade away.

They didn't expect Li Linlin to be so serious. Chen Yiran went abroad for seven years, and she studied hard for seven years just to study at the same university as him.

"Maybe, I heard from Tiantian that Chen Yiran is coming back." Yu Wan looked at him, "Even if it's for Chen Yiran, it's okay, Imperial University is also a top university. Besides, don't you always want her to stay in the country? "

"That's what I said, but... why did she fall in love with Chen Yiran!" Every time Li Shen thought of this, he was very angry. It's not that Chen Yiran is not outstanding, on the contrary, he is excellent, and he has been excellent since he was a child. He just can't accept that he is ten years older than Linlin.

Yu Wan didn't have such a big opinion like him, "I think Chen Yiran is pretty good. I was a little worried at first, but you see, Linlin has worked very hard in life and studies these years. I think as long as the person you like brings you a positive attitude toward life, he deserves to be liked. And Chen Yiran is so handsome."

The last time she saw Chen Yiran's current photo on Li Linlin's cell phone, his facial features became more angular and his temperament became more mature in seven years.

Just like a tyrant boss.

"..." Li Shen looked at her and said nothing.

Yu Wan said, "I know you think Chen Yiran is too old for Linlin, but the age difference of ten years is not bad."

Li Shen said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, you think Chen Yiran is handsome?"

"..." Yu Wan understood, "Of course, you are still the most handsome."

Li Shen felt relieved.

"And don't worry too much, even if Linlin likes Chen Yiran, Chen Yiran may treat her like a younger sister."

Li Shen exploded again, "What do you mean, he doesn't like our daughter? How could he?!"

"..." Yu Wan twitched the corners of her mouth, "This international superstar, please control your emotions and pay attention to your image."

Li Shen, “....”

They were discussing Chen Yiran in their room, and Li Linlin was also thinking about Chen Yiran in her room. In her room, there is a storage cabinet, which contains the gifts that Chen Yiran sent her from abroad over the years.

Although Chen Yiran rarely returned to China, he often sent gifts back. Every time he sent a gift to Chen Xi, he would also send one to Li Linlin. For Li Linlin's birthday, he would send it to her separately. After seven years, the storage cabinet is also full of things. There is also a photo in the storage cabinet, the first photo of her and Chen Yiran together.

The photo was taken when she was in kindergarten. It was her birthday that day, and Chen Yiran also came.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

These years of studying have been very hard, but every time she looks at these treasures in her collection, she feels motivated to persevere again.

The third year of high school has already come to an end, which is the most critical time of the year. Like clockwork, Li Linlin dare not relax at all until the end of the college entrance examination.

After the notice from Imperial University came out, she notified Chen Yiran immediately. Chen Yiran sent her another graduation gift and a handwritten card with blessings.

A year later, the domestic branch of Zhan Xu’s company was formally established and Chen Yiran, as the president of the branch, returned to take charge of all operations of the branch.

On the day he returned to China, Li Linlin was working as a model for her classmate in the photography department.

"Damn, Sister Lin, if you enter the entertainment circle, you will kill them all with your looks." With a DSLR camera in her hand, the classmate kept changing the angle to take pictures of Li Linlin. She knows that Li Linlin is Li Shen's daughter, and Li Linlin has inherited Li Shen's beauty to the fullest.

Li Linlin moved the corners of her mouth and was about to speak when her classmate shouted as if facing an enemy, "Don't talk! Just be a beautiful girl quietly, please!"

Li Linlin is very beautiful. The whole school knows that Li Linlin in silent mode is the most beautiful Sister Lin in the whole school, but when she moves... she becomes handsome Brother Lin whose “boyfriend strength” is so powerful that she can seduce all the beautiful girls in the school. :)

The talent and skills in flirting with girls were probably inherited from her father too. :)

Li Linlin smiled silently.

After the photo shoot, Li Linlin tore off her wig and changed back into her own clothes. The classmate handed her a bottle of mineral water and thanked her, "Sister Lin, thank you for today! Next time I want to practice my skills, I will look for you."

"Okay, if you need help, come to me at any time. I never refuse the request of a beautiful girl." Li Linlin took the water, unscrewed the bottle cap neatly, and took a sip with her head raised.

Side-profile kill.

The classmate turned her eyes away and coughed. Sister Lin is really poisonous, not even girls could be spared.

"Ah, it's almost time, I have to go." Li Linlin stood up, picked up her bag, and walked out. The classmate also stood up and looked at her curiously, "There is no class today, where are you going to flirt with girls?"

Li Linlin slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, looked back at her, and smiled, "I'm not going to flirt with girls today, I'm going to flirt with a handsome guy."
