When Xia Lin learned that he would die in an accident, he was surprisingly calm, not at all timid. In fact, he was more nervous about the next mission.
However, Xiao Jinyu had already retired from the underworld, and the next mission was long overdue. After three months without any task, Xia Lin thought optimistically like this.
"Jinyu, Uncle Ling Feng asked me to visit him during the holiday. Will you go with me?"
Xiao Jinyu nodded. "Sure, I'll definitely go with you. What if he gets in the mood and tries to take you away again?"
Xia Lin couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not an antique. Since Uncle Ling Feng promised not to adopt me, he won't break his promise. Don't worry needlessly. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It'll be nice to go and pay New Year greetings to Uncle!"
Xiao Jinyu took out his phone. "Okay, how about we stay at your uncle's place for a month? I'll ask for a leave."
"Great! The winter vacation is two months. We can spend one month abroad and the other month back in China for the New Year. That's perfect. Let's book the tickets for these two days."
After taking care of their own affairs, Xia Lin and Xiao Jinyu set off for Uncle Ling Feng's place. After a twelve - hour flight, they arrived at Ling Feng's house at night.
When they got there, besides Ling Feng, there was also a mixed - race handsome guy to greet them.
Ling Feng pointed at the mixed - race guy and introduced, "This is my godson, David. He's twenty - one years old. He just joined the company six months ago, but he's doing really well!"
David showed a standard but sincere smile and said, "Hello. I'm David. Nice to meet you. I'm a mixed - race. My biological mother is from China."
Xia Lin shook hands with him. "No wonder your Chinese is so good. I'm Xia Lin, and this is my husband, Xiao Jinyu."
David then went to shake hands with Xiao Jinyu. "Hello. You two are the most handsome and well - matched same - sex Chinese couple I've ever seen."
This compliment made Xiao Jinyu feel good, and his impression of David improved a lot. "Hello. I'm Xiao Jinyu, a Chinese entrepreneur."
After the brief introductions, everyone sat down at the dinner table and continued chatting while having dinner.
"Xiaolin, how long do you and Jinyu plan to stay here this time?"
Xia Lin swallowed the broccoli in his mouth. "Uncle, Jinyu and I plan to stay at your place for a month. Sorry to bother you."
Ling Feng waved his hand. "What's there to bother about? I wish you two would stay here longer. By the way, David knows very well where there are fun places and delicious food locally. You can ask David when you go out to play."
"Yes, I'd be happy to serve you two."
Xia Lin said politely, "Then I'll trouble you in the future, David."
Although he said so, Xia Lin didn't really plan to ask David much. Anyway, he and Jinyu could check travel guides.
On the contrary, David liked to get close to them. Xia Lin immediately became vigilant. Did David like Jinyu?
Uncle Ling Feng had said that David was bisexual, which meant he liked men too. Jinyu had a good figure, high - level good looks, and a charming personality. It wouldn't be strange if David fell for him.
After realizing this, Xia Lin became even more on guard against David and tried his best to keep David away from Xiao Jinyu.
His sudden change in attitude made David very confused. One day, David found Xia Lin and asked him, "Xia Lin, did I do something to upset you?"
Xia Lin was stunned for a moment. "No. Why do you think so?"
