Chapter Six, the Forests are Drenched in Color (Six)

"What are you arguing about?" Zhou Zhengxian opened the door, and Lin Jinran was standing behind him

After Zhou Zhengxian finished speaking, he was led away by another staff member, and Zhou Yan followed suit

At.

Zhou Zhengxian was sitting in front of the desk, his back to her, and he did not turn around despite the noise she made

Miss, please follow me

Lin Jinran paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, very well

Alright

Zhou Weien noticed that Zhou Zhengxian's arrogance had diminished slightly. He merely glared at Lin Jinran and beckoned with his finger, "You, come here."

Yun Qing straightened her chest and said, "I am already 18, do not treat me as a child"

"Going out on duty?" Zhou Yan chuckled lightly, "I suppose so, I occasionally tag along."

"Miss Lin." Zhou Yan greeted her upon seeing her

Lin Jinran slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Hmm, understood, but I estimate that the factors of the former are more numerous"

Zhou Yan let out a sneer, "Last time at your school, didn't you praise the young master's legs?"

Oh, then where am I supposed to follow you to

However, Lin Jinran did not sleep well; it was not that she was unaccustomed to the bed, but rather that the familiar atmosphere here was too overwhelming. Even after nearly ten years, the essence of the Zhou family still lingered in her mind, deeply rooted.

Mr. Zhou, you have arrived. Your clothes were just finished a couple of days ago and are inside." The shopkeeper hurriedly welcomed the three as they entered.

At this moment, Lin Jinran was actually at a loss. She patted Zhou Yan's shoulder and asked, "Did Yun Qing also have to go out for fieldwork at any time before?"

Two cars were prepared at the entrance of the Zhou residence. Upon seeing Zhou Zhengxian come out, the driver of the rear car quickly opened the car door for him

Lin Jinran said, "How could I dare to be so presumptuous."

Well... alright

I will be taking the college entrance examination in a while, so I need to gradually hand over the responsibility of taking care of the young master to you. Yun Qing said seriously, "You must watch over the young master when he takes his medicine, and if he feels unwell, you must take care of him.

Lin Jinran raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Zhou, I think it would be best for you to heed the doctor's advice."

Since tomorrow is the weekend, Lin Jinran directly stayed at the Zhou family's residence as arranged by them. Indeed, the Zhou family is the Zhou family; even the room for a part-time employee like her is so well-appointed.

Lin Jinran pointed to himself and said, "Do I also need to go in?"

Zhou Zhengxian's hand, which was about to pinch his brow, paused.

She cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Zhengxian. At that moment, Zhou Zhengxian was looking down at the computer on his lap, his hands tapping away at the keyboard.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment; it hadn't been long ago. Just as he was about to say something again, he suddenly noticed Zhou Zhengxian casting a glance at him, neither too light nor too heavy. That gaze... was clearly a warning. Zhou Yan coughed softly and silently turned away.

Lin Jinran lightly coughed and said, "Hehe, you do have an eye for observation"

Zhou Zhengxian was momentarily captivated by the orange-red object in her hand, "What?"

Lin Jinran felt a sense of emotion, and it is no wonder that the person she first fell in love with was him

But who knows, Zhou Zhengxian squinted his eyes and asked with a smile that seemed to be both genuine and mocking, "Who told you that I am afraid of hardship?"

Zhou Weien's face darkened upon hearing this, "You! Isn't it because I was drunk? Otherwise, how could you, with your small frame, easily knock me down?"

He is very focused, with a faint white light from the screen casting upon his face, creating a unique aesthetic. Indeed, it is an aesthetic; the Zhou family possesses good genes, and coupled with his inherent calm and gentle demeanor, it is likely that most women would find it hard to resist.

Nonsense! Zhou Weien's eyes are very captivating. Yesterday, you directly knocked me down to the ground; shouldn't you compensate me?

Lin Jinran shrugged and said, "That is hard to say."

What? Am I bullying others by taking advantage of my power?

I am here to deliver medicine, please help me open the door

Lin Jinran followed Zhou Zhengxian and the others as they left, while Zhou Weien stood in place, feeling irritated by the last smile she had directed at him, feeling somewhat small.

Lin Jinran smiled with a hint of mischief, "Seeing how youthful you look, I always thought you were just a child."

Lin Jinran, "Hmm?"

"Aren't you afraid of hardship?" Lin Jinran blurted out. Just now, this candied fruit was placed next to the medicine, so Lin Jinran naturally assumed it was prepared for him by Yun Qing.

Well, is he inside

The little doctor actually dared to touch his brow, good? What is good about it!

... ...

Zhou Zhengxian's gaze was piercing, and Lin Jinran could only awkwardly say, "As your personal physician, I was wondering if it is necessary to remind you that playing on the computer in the car is harmful to your eyes, and... don't you feel dizzy?"

However, is he drinking too slowly

Understood. Zhou Zhengxian glanced at Zhou Weien and said, "Stop messing around, go down."

Zhou Zhengxian seemed a bit taken aback, he raised his eyes to look at her, "What do you want me to do with this?"

Later, due to his indulgence, the father ceased to be concerned about it

So, is that person inside here? Let her come out

Zhou Zhengxian was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of a smile broke out. He turned his gaze towards the woman who had spoken, and saw a glimmer of cunning light flashing in her usually plain eyes.

Zhou Yan: Does this person have to speak so thoroughly

Are you preparing for the college entrance examination?

After a full three minutes, Lin Jinran finally waited for him to finish the medicine. Watching him set down the bowl, Lin Jinran opened a small box of preserved fruits beside her and handed it over, "Here."

No. Zhou Zhengxian's gaze slightly narrowed

Lin Jinran raised her eyes to glance at him and said softly, "Just call me by my name."

Lin ... ... completely dyed

Once, her father discovered her in the study of the elderly Zhou Zhengxian, and he scolded her harshly, saying that she had disturbed him. Yet at that time, he was very protective of her; he said he did not mind and that he enjoyed listening to her speak these words

Zhou Zhengxian

Hmm. Zhou Zhengxian closed the document and cooperatively took the medicine.

Lin Jinran glanced at the casual clothes he had hurriedly put on when leaving the Zhou family, and indeed, appearing in public like this would be a disgrace to the Zhou family's reputation

Recalling the past, Lin Jinran smiled faintly. After turning a corner, Zhou Zhengxian's study came into view.

Oh

Third Young Master, please do not make unreasonable demands

"No," Lin Jinran pointed at Zhou Zhengxian, "I am afraid that I might knock you down again, and you would say that I am bullying you by relying on Mr. Zhou's support"

Alright

She thought, she must have really liked him a lot back then... After all, how could a little girl resist being so pampered

Lin Jinran left with the medicine, while Yun Qing took a moment to react, "Oh dear, she hasn't even been there before, how would she know the way"

The car slowly started moving, and Lin Jinran was seated next to Zhou Zhengxian; however, due to the spaciousness of the vehicle, there was a considerable distance between the two.

Lin Jinran raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Zhengxian's study is as familiar as ever, as she often ran to his study late at night during her childhood, telling him what she had learned at school that day and recounting everything that had happened throughout the day

Zhou Zhengxian coldly said, "Unfortunately, she has to set off with me now."

Lin Jinran watched him take the medicine, his bony hand resting on the deep brown bowl, the fair fingers appearing exceptionally beautiful against the dark backdrop

Lin Jinran pondered for a moment, "I thought that the Third Young Master would reflect on why he was knocked down by me, or... why he was so easily knocked down by me."

"Originally, you were not needed this time, but I suspect the young master is afraid that the Third Young Master will cause trouble, so he simply brought you along." Zhou Yan glanced at her sideways, "This is to protect you, can't you understand?"

Lin Jinran thought for a moment, indeed, a bowl of dark and murky traditional Chinese medicine, and its smell was quite unpleasant; he probably also disliked that odor.

Zhou Yan found it amusing to see Zhou Zhengxian's silent demeanor, and he felt an increased fondness for Lin Jinran, who dared to confront his family's young master. "Jinran, to be honest, before you spoke, I thought you were going to say that my family's young master is handsome and that you were captivated by him"

Zhou Weien let out a cold snort, his expression darkening even further, "If you have something to do, you can leave first. I will have a talk with this woman."

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, reached out to push the door, and watched Lin Jinran walk in. He did not know why, but every time he saw her, he felt that something was off, yet... he could not quite pinpoint what was strange.

In the moment of his daze, Lin Jinran had already walked towards the car ahead, "Hey, hey, hey, you are with us in this car." Zhou Yan promptly stopped her, "Go sit in the back seat."

Lin Jinran glanced at a few people and silently chose to stand at the door

Lin Jinran glanced at Zhou Weien, who was looking at her sideways. He must have known that it was impossible to take someone from Zhou Zheng's hands, so he simply mouthed to her, "Wait for me."

The next day after getting up, Yun Qing came over to take Lin Jinran for breakfast, and then the two of them returned to the pharmacy together

On what basis!

After many years, the person before me has transformed from a youthful boy into a mature man... Now he is Zhou Zhengxian's most capable assistant, and in the Zhou family, he has already risen to a position of authority, second only to one, above ten thousand... In the past, she used to call him brother, but now that he addresses her this way, she feels somewhat unaccustomed.

Yun Qing glanced at her and said, "My master said that studying is very important, which is why I found you to take my place, allowing me to focus on my studies"

Lin Jinran smiled slightly, "Third Young Master, are you about to start bullying others with your power?"

Lin Jinran glanced at the car that Zhou Zhengxian was in, "... ..."

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Zhengxian suddenly turned around, and Lin Jinran was clearly startled, "Ah? It's nothing."

Unreasonable trouble? If I hadn't gotten drunk and passed out yesterday, I would have definitely dealt with her. Hurry up and get her out. Zhou Yan, step aside!

Zhou Zhengxian nodded, then walked inside. Lin Jinran hesitated for a moment, then followed behind Zhou Yan into the store

Zhou Weien was taken aback, completely unprepared for Lin Jinran to act so unpredictably.

Lin Jinran let out a dry laugh and said, "There is no need to mention the bravery of those years."

At that moment, a noisy sound came from outside the door, capturing the attention of Lin Jinran and Zhou Zhengxian.

Lin Jinran paused slightly; she had known before that he was afraid of hardship. Could it be that this was still a secret?

Zhou Weien glared, "Are you doing this on purpose!"

Zhou Yan, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and said, "I have already told the young master long ago, but the young master did not listen."

"Young Master, the carriage is ready, we can set off now," said a young servant as he stepped forward.

"Come here." Zhou Zhengxian suddenly turned around

The vehicle continued to move forward, but it did not head directly to the destination; instead, it first went to a seemingly upscale private clothing store. The three individuals got out of the car, and the bodyguard from the front vehicle also exited, but the bodyguards did not enter, instead waiting at the door.

Mr. Zhou, Lin Jinran placed the medicine beside his desk and said, "It is time to take your medicine"

Zhou Weien felt angry at the sight of her and said, "Come out, come out, let me see who really takes down whom."

Zhou Yan, "... ..." This woman speaks with venom

Zhou Zhengxian nodded and glanced at Lin Jinran, "Get her a suitable dress."

Candied fruit

Zhou Zhengxian has completely ignored him, walking directly in another direction. Lin Jinran has not yet reacted when Zhou Yan has already patted her shoulder, "Let's go, what are you dawdling for"

I won't say much more to you, just take this medicine to the young master's room. At this time, the young master is usually in the study reviewing documents.

I ... ...
