Marriage is too late

Chapter 105

"This is your inheritance." Lin Xuxing said softly, "Remember? Grandpa left you several properties in his will, and this is one of them."

This feeling is quite strange, originally it was a property that had nothing to do with Ji Jin, but because of the generous gift from her grandfather, she became the owner of this beautiful small courtyard.Ji Jin tilted his head and looked at every part of this small courtyard, quiet and curious.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ji Jin asked.

"This is my secret." Lin Xuxing outlined a mysterious smile.

"What do you mean?" Ji Jin asked.

"Literally." Lin Xuxing smiled and decided not to keep it secret, "This is my grandfather's old house. Before he made a fortune, he lived here when he was young. When he was in a bad mood, he would come back. Sit for a while. Later, when I was in a bad mood, he would bring me here and sit with me."

Lin Xuxing couldn't describe how many unspeakable times he had spent with him in this quiet courtyard.It softened the pain and gave him endless comfort.

"Actually, I'm very surprised that grandpa left this house to you instead of me. Grandpa knows what this house means to me." Lin Xuxing rubbed her hair, which was soft and fragrant, making people feel at ease.

"I can also transfer the ownership directly to you." Ji Jin said without hesitation.

"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Xuxing smiled, "Just like you once said, if a meticulous person intentionally makes a simple mistake, it's still in a very important matter. Then, there is only one possibility , he did it on purpose. Grandpa has already proved this in the previous will about equity."

Ji Jin suddenly realized: "So you think Grandpa did it on purpose, to get your attention?"

"Yes, he knew the special significance of this house to me, but he didn't leave it to me according to common sense, but to you. To you, this is just a random place among several houses in City C. The location It's ok but it's so old it's not as valuable as other properties and you don't even notice the house. It means something different to me and I've spent a lot of good time here , is a secret between me and grandpa, even after I returned to city c, grandpa called me to this house and persuaded me to return to the Lin family to take on the responsibility of such a big stall again .”

Ji Jin nodded obediently: "Blindfolded." A house that is meaningless to other people, hidden in a pile of real estate, was given to Ji Jin, in fact, he just wanted Lin Xuxing to discover the difference.

"So, are you going to explore?" Lin Xuxing stretched out his hand towards her.

"Of course, as you wish." Ji Jin stretched out his hand obediently, it didn't matter where he was going.

The house is old and quiet, but not dirty, just a layer of tired oldness, just like time has deposited a layer of warm yellow here.

"Aunt Chen comes to clean once a week." Lin Xuxing explained, "Even if she left the Lin family, she has not forgotten this habit."

There was still a newspaper open next to the rocking chair on the porch, as if someone was lying here reading a newspaper just now and would be back soon.

Lin Xuxing's tone was not without regret: "When I was very young, I liked to take a nap in this rocking chair in my grandfather's arms, and he would shake the fan for me with his own hands."

Ji Jin caressed his arm, but didn't speak.

The main room was also clean and old. The furniture stood silently on the gray marble floor, and the wall clock made regular sounds, "click, click, click".

Lin Xuxing frowned: "It seems that there is no change." He murmured softly, and then took Ji Jin to look through each room.

There is a room where all his trophies are kept. The trophies are shiny, the crystal medals reflect the sunlight, and the paper awards are framed and hung neatly on the walls. "Student master!" Ji Jin looked carefully at the above content, and couldn't help giving Lin Xuxing a thumbs up sincerely.

Ji Jin expressed his envy for the room with all of Lin Xuxing's childhood toys. Lin Xuxing had so many things to play with in his childhood.Grandpa can cherish the seal so much, and love him deeply.

There were even several distorting mirrors in one room, Lin Xuxing smiled: "I didn't expect this to still be there."

In the widest and largest study room, the bookshelves are as high as the ceiling, and there are many book ladders between the bookshelves.There are many group photos hanging on the wall. Lin Xuxing, who grew up from a young age, has grown from a young boy to a young boy, and then to a handsome young man.

"I like this place the most." Lin Xuxing stroked the smooth paint surface of the bookshelf, "I can spend half a day here anytime."

Nothing unusual was found anywhere, but Ji Jin felt that he saw more of Lin Xuxing, which was a part of Lin Xuxing's growth, and he quietly shared it with her in this way.Finally returned to the main house.

Lin Xuxing took Ji Jin's hand and sat down on the small sofa. The sunlight came in through the glass window, and the orchids on the window sill were in full bloom. The clusters were like powder balls, delicate and elegant.

"Everything is the same." Lin Xuxing sighed, "Maybe I think too much. This is just a thought left by my grandfather. I left it to you on purpose so that I can cherish you." He also hesitated indefinite.He is very familiar with every minute and every inch here, and it looks no different from the past.

"It's great here!" Ji Jin admired softly, "Ah Xing, just by looking at this place, I can feel Grandpa's love for you, and I'm proud of you."

Lin Xuxing smiled softly: "I know, I'm very lucky. I was grandpa before, and now I have you." He kissed the back of her hand. In such a place, it is easier to feel grateful.

Ji Jin was lost in thought, thanking his grandfather for loving the person in front of him like this. Perhaps, Lin Xuxing would be a great father. He had learned to love and knew how to love others.

At that moment, neither of them said a word, just quietly enjoying the beauty of this moment.

"Wait, this is wrong." Lin Xuxing frowned suddenly and said, "It's different from before."

"What?" Ji Jin retreated in confusion, faintly feeling that Lin Xuxing might have something special to discover.

"The sound is different." Lin Xuxing frowned, "It was quieter here before, and it can make people calm down. Except for the sound of the wind, you can't hear anything."

His eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the wall clock in the main room, carefully observing the big clock that kept "tattling",

The body of the clock was old and clean, just as he remembered it.He turned to Ji Jin and said, "This clock has been standing here for a long time, but it never leaves, let alone makes a sound."

He even asked Grandpa, why did he keep a clock in the room that wouldn't go?Grandpa answered him with a calm expression: "Because people always keep some old things from the past, so as not to forget the past." That clock is Grandpa's past.Time flies, what happened to this moving clock?
Lin Xuxing speculated: "It seems that this clock has been running for some days. Although it is a mechanical structure, the power must not rely on human winding, otherwise it should have stopped." The inside of the clock must have been altered, and that's what Grandpa wanted to send me, that he wanted me to open the clock."

Ji Jin was stunned and stood beside the clock in amazement. Although she had always known that Lin Xuxing was very powerful, but he was so blabla without stopping, and she was still a little taken aback when he came to such a reasonable and well-founded conclusion in an instant, which left her speechless.

"How is it? Do you want to unlock this secret with me?" Lin Xuxing stretched out his hand to her with a gentle expression, "I believe you are also curious."

Ji Jin nodded earnestly: "Yes." She has to participate in every joy and sorrow of his life, no matter what the outcome is.

They groped around the bell gate for a while. Ji Jin used her sensibility as a woman to rub the small bump on the side of the bottom of the bell with her thin white fingertips. After pressing, there were signs of loosening, but her strength It's not enough to press, so I just took Lin Xuxing's hand and pressed it: "It may be here."

Lin Xuxing nodded. The advantage of male power was brought into play here. He pressed both hands together, and the bell door made a heavy "click", revealing a gap.

Lin Xuxing and Ji Jin looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes, they pushed the heavy bell door open together, it was like opening a craftsman's paradise inside.

The dense gears are exquisitely connected with each other, and the brass parts, after many years, still have a tight bite and step-by-step movement over the years.That beautiful picture is like a moving scroll.

"There!" Ji Jin was the first to discover the difference.

On the bottom of the part lay alone a small blank, brass nameplate, engraved with a line of numbers.Lin Xu took out the nameplate with his hands.The moment Lin Xuxing took away the nameplate, the wall clock stopped moving, and the last bell still rang leisurely and lightly, like the sigh of time.

Time returned to the tranquility of the past, the sun was shining outside the window, and the flowers were just in time.

"Number?" Ji Jin asked, "What do you mean? A password?" Grandpa is like an outsider who has set up a mystery, and they are always looking for the meaning behind his layout.

Lin Xuxing bowed his head in thought and did not answer.

Ji Jin carefully observed the long row of numbers. She has always been very sensitive to numbers, but she did the calculations in her mind, but she didn't find any rules. What about Morse code?Ji Jin took out his mobile phone and began to check the code meter.

Lin Xuxing suddenly smiled softly, interrupting Ji Jin's movements.

"What's wrong? Did you find out what it meant?" Ji Jin asked in surprise.

She should have known earlier that this old house, this big clock, and the childhood that Lin Xuxing experienced were the codes that only Lin Xuxing and his grandfather could decipher.That was their time, their love.
