Chapter 6: The Shen family is in charge of you for the rest of your life.

It takes five and a half hours to travel from Lin Jian's village to the city center, even if the second half of the journey is on the highway.

It was close to 1:00 p.m. when they left, and before they hit the highway, a few of them had a light lunch at a restaurant in the service area.

During these two days and nights, Song Zhi had a big headache, especially when he watched Shen Ke picking up the disposable soup bowls from the restaurant and bringing them to his mouth with Zhou Zheng's gesture, he felt that he was not worthy of the "Special Assistant to the Chairman Shen" sign on his head.

Little Lin Jian sits in a dining chair and eats quietly with his head down. He is not very tall for a child his age, so his feet reach the floor and he clasps a picture of Lin Jianghe to the dining table while he eats.

He was actually hungry, but he didn't have the slightest appetite, and only felt nauseous for a while, but thinking that Lin Jianghe had told him not to waste food, he still silently swallowed the food on his plate one bite at a time.

When there was still a third of the food left, the person sitting next to me suddenly said, "If you can't eat it, forget it, don't force it."

Lin Jian was holding chopsticks in his hand and turned his head to look at Shen Ke.

Shen Ke pointed to the plate in front of him and repeated, "You can have leftovers if you can't finish it."

Lin Jian thought for a moment and finally put down his chopsticks, cradling the photo in his hand in his arms again, his eyes looking in the direction of the restaurant's exit, his expression so calm that it didn't change a bit.

The child was too quiet, Shen Ke thought, a little too quiet.

After a perfunctory lunch, the two Gustos pulled out of the service area and headed down the highway again.

Lin Jian was still nestled in the triangle between the car door and the window, but after about twenty minutes or so, his fingers clasping the photo were getting tighter and tighter, beads of sweat were seeping out of his forehead, and his little face was turning pale.

Shen Ke had been leaning against the back of the chair and resting his eyes, but when he opened his eyes, his eyes accidentally made a mistake, and he noticed the abnormality of little Lin Jian.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ke asked.

Lin Jian kept his mouth tightly shut and shook his head a little.

Song Zhi turned around and was also taken aback when he saw Lin Jian s face, "What s wrong with this child ...... This is not comfortable?"

The feeling of nausea is getting stronger and stronger, Lin Jian's whole body is starting to get dizzy, and finally she has to whisper, "...... I, want to vomit," moments before she can't hold on to the fast vomiting.

It's really a tricky one, little Lin Jian gets carsick.

If the first half of the journey was bearable, it was a little hard to sustain at this point precisely because of the lunch.

And what's even trickier is that Shen's family has no precedent for motion sickness, so the car isn't stocked with motion sickness pills.

Shen Ke raised his hand toward the roof of the car and shook it, the LCD screen of the in-car TV slowly sank down, turning on the monitor, Shen Ke asked, "What kind of cartoons do you usually like to watch?"

I didn't realize that Lin Jian just stared at the screen that "fell from the sky", froze, and then shook his head.

It means, and I don't know if I don't have a favorite to watch, or if I don't usually watch cartoons.

Shen Ke also did not continue to ask more questions, in the recommended list of video software to find a top-ranked, from the first episode to play, and from the rear car refrigerator out of a bottle of pure water, unscrewed a little lid, handed Lin Jian hand, warmly said: "Do not look out the window, it will be even more dizzy, drink some water, and then distracted a little bit, hold on for a while to the next service area to buy you car sickness medicine. The next service area will buy you motion sickness medicine."

On second thought, he rummaged through another gift box from the rear glove compartment, opened it and took out the contents, which appeared to be a mug, then placed the empty box at Lin Jian's feet and said, "If you can't help it, it's okay to spit it out here."

Lin Jian did not recognize any Hermes brand logo and nodded.

Maybe it is because of the chilled pure water, or maybe I have never seen the cartoon at this time played a magical powerful effect, the second half of the journey, Lin Jian is still uncomfortable, but the feeling of nausea seems to reduce a little bit, until the car out of the highway toll booths into the busy city, Lin Jian did not really vomit out in the car.

Taking advantage of the gap between the end of the first level of animation, inadvertently glanced out the car window, only to find that it has been the autumn wind is now again, a change of the world.

This is the kind of traffic and endless flow that Lin Jian has never seen before, and the world is full of soft red and fragrant soil. Towering buildings lined both sides of the road, the flashing neon lights on the high-rise buildings reflected the evening clouds, and the splashes of color and the tidal wave of people intertwined to form a vivid but unfamiliar bustling world.

Lin Jian looked out the window with a pair of big eyes without blinking, even her mouth was slightly open.

But just when Shen Ke thought it was a child enjoying this hilarious magnificence, the child silently turned his head back and stopped watching the next episode of the cartoon that had already begun on the in-car TV, and resumed his customary behavior of a few hours earlier, quietly drooping his head, the corners of his mouth pursed flat, and even the slight curve that had been raised at the edge of his mouth just a moment before disappeared.

Human cubs are some of the strangest creatures in the world.

And the human cub PLUS is no better.

At the Outer Ring Road intersection, the two Gustys traveling with them split up, one going back to Shen's and one driving directly to the Shen family mansion built on the outskirts of the city.

The car drove into a very quiet canal road, on both sides of the road, there are endless green vegetable fields, not far away from a man-made green forest, at the end of the canal road is a Chinese-style courtyard.

The empty courtyard field was an ungodly size, and with the gates wide open, the Gust drove right in and to the left into the parking lot.

Song Zhi pulled the rear door open and Shen Ke got out first, with no movement behind him.

He turned back, leaned down slightly, and turned toward Lin Jian, who was still in the car, "Kid, get out of the car, we're here."

Whenever he talked to the boy in the past two days, Shen Ke tried to maintain a gentle tone of voice, a tone and gesture that seldom came out of Shen Ke's mouth, so that Song Zhi, who had picked up Lin Jian's small parcel and school bag from the trunk, couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Shen who does not know, the only son of the Shen family is arrogant and cold, despite the fact that he has heard the final rite, not so much as to rely on talent and openness, but by no means is a person with a mild temperament.

Lin Jian continued to sit in the car for almost a minute before finally getting out of the car holding Lin Jianghe's photo.

They left the parking pad area on foot, the courtyard outline is all white walls and tiles, the left position is a small bridge, pavilions and platforms are simple and ancient, the stone bridge is clear and open, a pool of blue water is secluded, the depth of the water flow is planted with a short bamboo forest, surrounded by a few rooms as a companion of the corridor, and around this water pavilion and singing platforms, then arrived at the door of the main building.

Shen Ke pushes the door into the house, Lin Jian follows him.

The center hall is decorated in a fresh, elegant and simple style, revealing poetic and pictorial interest in every detail, yet it is empty.

Guan Jia received the news and jogged all the way from the backyard, and when he saw that it was really Shen Ke who had come back, he busily said, "Chairman Shen and Madam are both in the small building in the backyard, saying that they will live there first for this period of time."

Shen Ke first opened his mouth and called out "Uncle Fang", Guan Jia answered with a smile, and seeing that he didn't look too good, he asked if he was tired and if he needed to take a rest first.

Shen Ke shook his head and said, "Go see my dad first."

Guan Jia's eyes naturally fell on the little Lin Jian behind him, yet he did not say a single superfluous word, but only smiled gently at him.

The light in the small backyard building is much more lively than the main building.

Although the doctor recommended Shen Zhangqian to be hospitalized for recuperation, the old man couldn't stand the smell of sterilized water that permeated the hospital and decided to go home to recuperate after a few days in the general ward, across the board a private medical team comes to the house, if needed, the house can even open up a sterile ward, so where to live is not so important.

And the family relatives are convenient, the old man likes the lively popularity of the family.

The small backyard building has only two floors, making it easy for the couple to recuperate from their injuries. Shen Zhangqian and his wife live in the south master bedroom on the first floor, and in order to make Shen Zhangqian feel better during his injury, Cong Wan's younger sister brought her youngest daughter to stay at the family home while she accompanied her sister.

Entering the door, it was still the same ancient charm as the main building's décor, and the little cousin sitting cross-legged on the floor of the center hall saw the visitor, exclaimed in surprise, put down the Lego in her hand that she was putting together, and ran over to him and sweetly shouted, "Brother!"

Shen Ke raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head and said a few words. The door to the master bedroom on the first floor was open and provided an unobstructed view of the outside of the house, and when Shen Ke looked up and saw the gaze of Shen Zhangqian, who was leaning on the bed, he led Lin Jian into the house.

In the room, Shen Zhangqian and Cong Wan sisters were both present, Shen Ke first greeted the elders separately, and then asked Shen Zhangqian a few questions about how she had been doing in the past two days, and when the not-so-long conversations stopped, the room was quiet again.

Shen Zhangqian slightly inclined his head, surveying Lin Jian, who always stood behind Shen Ke's right side, his head slightly lowered from the moment he entered the door, his gaze gradually rippling.

Shen Ke read the deep meaning in his father's eyes, and raised his hand to gently support Lin Jian's right shoulder, not too heavy to bring him forward a little, while he himself stood to the side of the position.

Lin Jian was still holding Lin Jianghe's effigy in his arms, and Shen Ke subconsciously avoided it when he helped him, but could not avoid it.

At that moment, he raised his head and met Shen Zhangqian's line of sight.

Shen Zhangqian let out a long sigh, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was even slightly hoarse, "Called ...... Lin Jian right?" He endeavored to soften his tone, because this child looked timid to a great extent, "How old is it?"

Little Lin Jian's dark pupils didn't flicker for an instant, his gaze locking flatly on the man on the bed who appeared to be very badly injured.

Soon, he noticed that the man's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry the next moment.

Lin Jian was silent, Shen Zhangqian was also silent for a while, and then asked, "What is it?"

That's the guy his dad saved.

It was only after a long time that Lin Jian answered both questions together, in a childish tone, "Eight years old, belongs to the horse."

From the moment this child entered the door, Cong Wan's tears were somewhat uncontrollable. Hearing him say this, his hand silently wiping away his tears paused for a moment, and then he showed a gentle smile to Lin Jian: "He is also a horse? That's exactly the same as Xiao Ke's. There's a difference of one round."

Lin Jian did not respond, and the room was once again abruptly quiet.

After a short while, Shen Zhangqian beckoned Lin Jian to come to the bedside, closer to himself, and Lin Jian's eyes moved with his hand, but he did not come forward.

So Cong Wan fought back the soreness in his nose, walked from the bedside to Lin Jian, gently took his thin wrist, and brought the child to him himself.

And no one noticed that Lin Jian's arm shook silently the moment his wrist was pulled.

Shen Zhangqian stared at the photo in his arms for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice seemed to be a little more raspy than just now, "Child ...... I have to say thank you and apologize again to you, to your father... ..."

Shen Ke's sister-in-law took Cong Wan's arm, and both sisters turned their backs at that moment, not wanting their children to see their disoriented but uncontrollable tears.

Shen Zhangqian said, "The rest of my life was hard snatched from God by your father, so it's only right that our Shen family should be in charge of you, for the rest of your life."

Shen Zhangqian and whispered a lot, whether it is the demeanor or style of conversation with the business world at that time, the "Chairman Shen" is simply like two people, the content of some trivial and some messy, but no more than a sincere appeasement and reassurance, he let the small Lin Jian rest assured that he will be here! He told Lin Jian to stay here and treat it as his home.

Finally, Shen Zhangqian said, "I am fifty-five years old this year, according to seniority, you have to call me grandpa."

Lin Jian, on the other hand, kept his eyelids down, not making a sound or a statement, like a silent and stubborn confrontation.

The atmosphere in the room was one of subtle awkwardness; faced with such a child and the loss of a life tied to each other, the group of adults seemed a bit at a loss as well, not knowing what to say or what else to say.

Shen Ke walked to the side of the bed, whispered a few words with Shen Zhangqian, Shen Zhangqian seems to be a little surprised, but soon, the expression on his face changed to deep.

"Then stay for now." He smiled afresh at Lin Jian, "There's another young lady at home, only a year older than you, just so there's company." After a pause, he added, seemingly cautiously, "Child, you settle down."

And the truth is, Lin Jian is not likely to settle down at all.

Everything around him was unfamiliar, such a family of bells and whistles, a family of ink, poetry and books, a beautiful and luxurious house, and a room with a clear and light fragrance that he had never smelled before.

He was in the midst of it, but out of place, as if he were a small beast venturing from the dark forest into the bright world of the common people, wary and frightened, the world in front of his eyes was strange, but none of it had anything to do with him.

It was not until Shen Ke's little cousin Ai Jia, who had been waiting in the center hall for a long time, leaned over the door and asked softly, "Auntie, cousin, have you finished talking? There is a piece of pattern how I can not spell, can you help me?" Only then did the crowd wake up as if from a dream.

Cong Lin smiled and said to her youngest daughter, "It's better for mommy to help you, let cousin rest first." After saying that, she walked out of the room and accompanied her daughter to put together the Lego.

Cong Wan also reacted, looking at the red blood under Shen Ke's eyes, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "Go and take a rest, it's been hard for you these past two days as well."

Instead, Shen Ke shook his head and said, "I'm going back to my place."

Cong Wan froze, "Not living at home?"

"No." Shen Ke replied, but his gaze went to Shen Zhangqian, "My place is closer to the company, so it's more convenient."

Shen Zhangqian opened his mouth, but the words to stay were stuck in his throat.

How could he not understand his son's mind?

At the age of five in elementary school, halfway through two consecutive jumps, at the age of ten in junior high school, junior high school only one year, fourteen years old high school graduation, by the strongest domestic landscape art design professional top school admitted, eighteen years old university graduation, holding a number of letters of recommendation and a number of SCI impact factor of more than 10 thesis, the successful admission to the Penn Graduate School, continue to study the direction of the master's degree in landscape architecture design ......

Since he was a child, he has always been the "little genius" in the mouths of others, and is the pride of the Shen family.

As no one knows, Shen Ke's goal is clear and firm, dreaming of becoming a world-class master gardener, and traveling all the way to the end.

Now, because Shen Zhangqian accidentally injured, Shen Ke should be in accordance with the planning of the smooth progress, until the successful trajectory of life was suddenly disrupted, he is the only son of the Shen family, the surface of how bright, the responsibility on the shoulders of the heavy.

Shen Zhangqian is not able to stand up, but the Shen family still has a Shen Ke, he has to top up, and the responsibility is unshirkable.

In a very short time, Shen Zhangqian seemed to recall a lot of memories, but seemed to be unable to get a glimpse of a two-way street, and finally just sighed and said, "Good.

Shen Ke spoke briefly to his parents again, said goodbye and was leaving, after all he was really a bit tired.

Cong Wan also gathered his emotions and kindly took little Lin Jian by the wrist, saying that he would take him to pick out a room of his own choice to stay in.

And on the first hit, it didn't pull.

Cong Wan was a little surprised, shook his hand again, and said softly, "Little Lin Jian, go ah."

And at that moment, a scene that no one expected happened.

Lin Jian suddenly broke away from Cong Wan's hand on his wrist and ran two steps behind Shen Ke, who was about to go out, and reached out to pull the hem of his jacket.
