She stayed at home all day, luckily her mother went to work and her brother went to school, so she was alone at home. No matter how lonely and uneasy she was, she didn't have to worry about being seen.
She had been sitting on the big bay window in the living room, looking at the cars coming and going downstairs through the white gauze curtains. She even forgot to eat lunch and didn't feel hungry at all.
In the evening, she saw the text message from Suya: "Lanzhi, you little bitch, you are so mean. You actually secretly hooked up with my dream lover! The worst thing is that you kept it from me, causing me and my cousin to look for you for a long time in the amusement park yesterday, but I couldn't get through to your cell phone. You are too much! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Lin Lanzhi accepted her series of angry accusations one by one with a guilty conscience, but she could not say much. She just kept apologizing in the text messages: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Suya, I'll explain to you when I have the chance."
After putting down her phone, she gathered her energy to prepare dinner for her family.
The younger brother was the first to go home. As soon as he entered the house, he jumped in front of her and shouted excitedly: "Sister, sister, are you really dating brother Chu Wei? Wow, my sister is awesome! All the classmates in our school are talking about this today. The girls in our class are almost jealous of you! Haha!"
Lin Lanzhi quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "When mom comes back later, don't tell anyone about this."
The fact that she and Mu Chuwei were dating was something that should not be allowed to be seen in public. If her mother knew about it now, what if she had to ...
She didn't dare think about it anymore.
Lin Xiao naturally didn't understand her thoughts, but he didn't ask any more questions. He agreed to whatever his sister said. He was now immersed in joy, imagining that one day all his classmates would surround him and ask for Mu Chuwei's autograph . He felt so proud.
Lin's mother worked in a relatively closed place, so Mu Chuwei's scandal did not reach her ears. When she came back in the evening, she did not say much as usual, which made Lin Lanzhi feel a little relieved.
But she hardly slept that night. She tossed and turned in bed, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Fortunately, the next day was the weekend and she didn't have to go to class. She lay in bed for a while, looking listlessly at the gray sky outside the window. It looked like it was about to rain.
Just as she was lying on the bed in a daze, the door of the room was suddenly opened. She didn't hear the sound and remained lying on the bed without moving. It was not until her brother ran to her side that she sat up from the bed, looked at her brother with a worried face, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Sister, this is bad, this is bad!" Lin Xiao frowned tightly, and was about to jump up in anxiety. He handed the newspaper in his hand to her, motioning her to read it, and said, "What's going on with Brother Chu Wei? Why did you announce that you are just his fan? This is obviously not the case. It's obvious that you two have a very good relationship..."
Lin Xiao's mind was simple, he had no idea of ​​the complicated inside story, and he had no idea that this was a common trick used in the entertainment industry.
Lin Lanzhi took the newspaper and read the news carefully. If she didn't read it carefully, her eyes would be wet with tears and she couldn't see anything. She could only stare at the newspaper closely. Every time she read a line of words, her heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp object.
The general content of the news was similar to what Ye Zilang said yesterday, but after being edited by the reporter, she became a shameless girl who only wanted to take advantage of others. One was a high- superstar, and the other was an infatuated fan immersed in delusions.
The difference between heaven and earth will never be bridged.
Seeing his sister wanting to cry but trying hard to hold it back, Lin Xiao felt very sad, but he didn't know how to comfort her. After standing by the bed and thinking for a while, he turned and left.
Lin Lanzhi sat on the bed, curled up into a ball. The overwhelming coldness enveloped her, and she hugged her shoulders tightly, but the piercing pain made it impossible for her to find any warmth at all.
Lin Lanzhi, why are you so sad?
Didn’t you persuade him yesterday that it didn’t matter whether he exposed it or not, because the feelings would be in his heart, right?
However, how long can this fragile relationship last? How much strength can keep him steadfast?
It was unknown when Lin's mother came in. It was not until she walked to the bedside that Lin Lanzhi accidentally glanced at her and found that she was standing beside her with milk.
She couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had talked to her mother about her worries, nor could she remember what it felt like to have such a close connection between mother and daughter before she was six years old. But at this moment, she suddenly wanted to talk to her mother about her worries. She raised her head, looked at her mother's worried expression, and murmured, "Mom, is it true that no matter how hard I try, I am not worthy of him?"
Mother Lin frowned even more tightly, and said with a serious face: "Child, there are some things you shouldn't expect."
Tears welled up in Lin Lanzhi's eyes again. She pursed her lips, trying to hold back her sobs and said, "I don't have any expectations. I didn't dare to have any expectations from the beginning."
But later, she fell in love with him unconsciously. Thinking about him and missing him, she liked his ever-changing expressions, his occasional domineering and occasional gentleness...
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt, and her tears flowed more freely.
Mother Lin couldn't help but sighed distressedly, sat down beside the bed, stroked her daughter's hair with one hand, handed her a glass of milk with the other hand, and said, "Okay, don't think too much, just let everything take its course. Look at your dark circles, you didn't sleep well last night, right? Drink a glass of milk to calm your nerves, sleep for a while, and don't think too much."
Lin Lanzhi stared at her mother in a daze.
It turns out that her mother still cares about her. She has been longing for this kind of care for more than ten years...
Her mother's rare tenderness and care made her temporarily forget her pain. She took the glass of milk in a daze and drank it all in one breath.
Seeing her so well-behaved, Lin's mother smiled with satisfaction. She reached out and gently touched her daughter's head, saying softly, "All your worries will go away after a good night's sleep."
This sentence made Lin Lanzhi feel like she was back to when she was six years old. Her mother at that time was so kind and always looked at her with a smile. No matter how sad she was, as long as her mother touched her head and comforted her, all her troubles would be swept away. Her mother was the sun in her heart.
This feeling was so distant that it almost felt like a dream to her, but even in a dream, she cherished this feeling even more.
She followed Mother Lin's words and lay down on the bed, closing her eyes, trying to put aside all worries and distracting thoughts, but a drop of crystal tears still quietly slid down from the corner of her eye...
