The next day, when Lin Feng arrived on time, he found that Old Lin was already warming up by the swimming pool. He couldn't help but sigh at how vigorous Old Lin was; even in such cold weather, he still had the enthusiasm to swim.
For Lin Feng, swimming in the middle of winter was no problem at all given his cultivation level. However, considering Old Lin's age and the fact that he had no internal martial arts skills, it was quite impressive that he could exercise in such cold weather.
What Lin Feng didn't know was that Old Lin, despite his age, insisted on swimming in this chilly weather solely to prove himself.
Before long, Lin Mei came out, and Lin Feng noticed she was wearing a casual outfit.
While it was common for anyone to wear casual clothes, it felt strange to Lin Feng seeing Lin Mei dressed this way. After all, he had encountered her many times over the past few days, but this was the first time he saw her in casual attire.
At that moment, Lin Feng sensed something unusual about the situation.
However, what could be so unusual? Soon enough, Lin Mei's explanation cleared up the doubts in Lin Feng's mind.
"Lin Feng, Grandpa suddenly said he wants to swim today. I can't swim, so we won't go to the office; we'll stay here with Grandpa, okay?" Last night, Old Lin had asked Lin Mei to get Lin Feng to go swimming with him. So after thinking it over, she decided this would be the best way to get Lin Feng into the water.
Lin Mei's message was straightforward: since Grandpa suddenly wanted to swim in winter and I won't be going to work either, you as my personal assistant should keep an eye on him. After all, he's getting older and his stamina is declining; we don't want anything unfortunate to happen.
With that said, Lin Feng became Old Lin's swimming coach.
This coaching role had a unique mission: to ensure that Old Lin could swim as he wished while also guaranteeing his safety.
Hearing what Lin Mei said, Lin Feng had no reason to refuse. In fact, compared to going to the office, he thought staying here wasn't bad at all.
After all, Lin Feng wasn't a homebody; he wasn't keen on spending every day staring at a computer screen in the office. Although Lin Mei hadn't strictly forbidden him from playing on the computer during work hours, she usually played just a few simple games that had long lost their appeal for him. As for those so-called "more engaging" online games, he found them uninteresting and tedious. The simpler games required some thought while those online games took up memory space unnecessarily. Sure, his computer could handle it for now, but those games were mostly just about following a storyline that dragged on forever; leveling up often required money. Lin Feng admitted that they posed no challenge for his intellect, so after trying them once or twice, he deleted them from his computer.
Just when Lin Feng was troubled about whether to chat with someone online today, Lin Mei unexpectedly told him that there was swimming, which excited Lin Feng and he immediately agreed.
Although Lin Mei found it strange that Lin Feng agreed so easily, she knew it was because Grandpa specifically requested it last night, so she didn’t pursue the matter further. As long as Lin Feng agreed, she felt she had completed her task.
As for her, she was secretly planning whether to sneak into her Study later to handle some company matters online. Although Grandpa had told her not to go to the company, she understood that Grandpa just wanted Lin Feng to keep him company.
Now that Lin Feng had already agreed, Lin Mei felt that she didn’t need to be by Grandpa’s side every moment.
With Lin Feng, a skilled person, around, Lin Mei was absolutely confident in Grandpa's safety.
"Hehe... The old man got a bit restless and ended up interrupting your work. I hope you don’t mind, Lin Feng." At this moment, Grandpa, dressed in sportswear, walked over and greeted Lin Feng warmly.
"Hehe... How could I? Following the leader's arrangements is my job," Lin Feng initially wanted to say, "I wouldn’t know what to do in the office anyway," but considering that Grandpa was the decision-maker of the Lin family, he decided against saying it.
"Hehe... I know you well enough; an office environment isn’t suitable for you! Come on, stop dawdling. Change your clothes and let’s go underwater to try it out. Are you up for it?" Grandpa winked at Lin Feng playfully, clearly in a different mood than usual. After being excited all night, seeing Lin Feng today reminded him that Lin Feng might be his long-lost grandson. How could he still maintain the authority of a superior?
A superior is still human; facing his long-lost grandson—his only one—how could he remain unchanged?
"Hehe... Then I won’t hold back. Do you want me to let you go first?" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate and quickly took off his clothes without changing into anything else; he prepared to jump into the water bare.
Grandpa had always been generous with others and naturally preferred those who were straightforward. Seeing Lin Feng being so bold made him smile widely.
After all, he was his grandson; indeed, he had a unique charm.
At this moment, Grandpa had already regarded Lin Feng as his own grandson.
However, thinking of Lin Feng as a grandson in his heart was one thing; the reality was another. So while Grandpa smiled, his eyes were fixed on the lower back of Lin Feng as he took off his clothes.
"Indeed..." Finally, Lin Feng took off his last piece of clothing, and Old Man Lin squinted his eyes, clearly seeing a birthmark on Lin Feng's lower back.
Old Man Lin had never seen this birthmark before, but it was deeply imprinted in his memory because Grandma Lin had drawn it out for him to remember.
In fact, ever since Grandma Lin illustrated the birthmark, it had been kept in a safe in Old Man Lin's study that contained important documents. He would take it out to look at almost every day, so remembering it was naturally an easy task.
At this moment, upon seeing the birthmark on Lin Feng's lower back, Lin Feng's eyes immediately turned red.
This was not about identity or composure; seeing his long-lost grandson made Old Man Lin understandably emotional.
Meanwhile, in the tallest building of the Lin family, Grandma Lin sat in her wheelchair, holding a military-grade telescope, clearly observing the birthmark on Lin Feng's lower back.
"Yes, this is indeed a child of the Lin family," Grandma Lin murmured to herself as she watched.
"Hurry, push me downstairs; I want to see by the swimming pool." Upon seeing the birthmark, Grandma Lin could no longer sit still. She instructed her maid to take her down.
"But..." The maid had been taking care of Grandma Lin for many years and knew that she couldn't just follow her orders. After all, Grandma Lin's condition was most sensitive to wind; if anything were to happen, it would be disastrous.
"What do you mean 'but'? If you don't push me, I'll go down myself," Grandma Lin said domineeringly. Usually kind and gentle, she now threatened to go down on her own if not assisted.
Upon hearing this, the maid dared not delay any longer and had no choice but to push Grandma Lin downstairs. However, she tried to slow her pace in hopes that someone would arrive in time. Perhaps if a person of sufficient authority were to persuade her, they could prevent Grandma Lin from going outside by the swimming pool where she might catch a chill.
But who was Grandma Lin? She kept urging them on as if afraid of missing the moment.
Meanwhile, at the swimming pool, Old Man Lin saw the birthmark on Lin Feng's lower back and understood the truth. Looking at how Lin Feng was bare-chested in the cold winter without feeling cold at all filled him with pride—my grandson is truly extraordinary! Just look at him laughing and chatting so freely in such frigid weather; how could he manage that without exceptional physical fitness?
"Old Man Lin, why aren't you getting in yet?" Lin Feng had already taken off his clothes and was preparing to dive into the water, but Old Man Lin showed no signs of wanting to join him.
"Uh, Lin Feng, I suddenly remembered something." At this moment, Old Lin seemed a bit stuck; how should he put it? Old Lin was fearless in the face of heaven and earth, yet he was completely out of his depth here, having never learned to swim throughout his life.
But how could he bring this up?
Indeed, if he opened his mouth and said he wanted to swim, it would mean not allowing Lin Mei to go to work and requiring Lin Feng to accompany him for practice. In the end, if he were to say, "Actually, I can't swim," it would be quite embarrassing. Old Lin felt that with his wrinkled face, he couldn't bring himself to say such a thing, so he was momentarily conflicted.
"What is it? Please tell me," Lin Feng asked, filled with questions.
"Oh dear, it hurts so much. I just remembered that my arthritis is acting up. I didn't expect it to flare up just as I was about to mention it. Look, oh my, it's too painful." After thinking for a moment, Old Lin decided to save face—he would pretend to be sick. Although this was difficult for someone like him who had never lied in his life, it was still better than admitting the truth to Lin Feng.
"Uh, which leg? Let me take a look; be careful." Lin Feng was startled by Old Lin's sudden claim of pain. Once someone reached a certain age, they had to be cautious; otherwise, even minor issues could lead to significant problems.
"This one. Lin Feng, this is an old issue of mine; don't worry. Just put on your clothes first so you don't catch a chill." Since Old Lin had already told a lie, he naturally had to continue with another one. He randomly pointed at one leg and even casually referred to himself as Lin Feng's "Grandpa" in a moment of urgency.
"Okay, let me see; I'm fine." At this moment, Lin Feng genuinely didn't realize that Old Lin was pretending. It wasn't that Lin Feng was naive; first of all, he never expected that Old Lin would fake illness at his age just to play tricks on him. Secondly, Old Lin had lived for decades and was quite knowledgeable; his act of feigning illness was convincing with very few flaws.
Lin Feng looked closely but couldn't figure out how Old Lin suddenly had "arthritis." He quickly turned to the people nearby and said, "Help Old Lin inside to rest; I'll be there shortly."
As he spoke, Lin Feng began putting on his clothes. While he wasn't cold without them, Lin Mei was at home. If she found out that her Grandpa was sick, she would definitely come out to check on him. If she saw him like this, she might think he was being foolish.
