Some feelings are always carefully maintained, but once they are broken one day, they can never be put back together.
Xiao baby, you actually have a talent for literature, especially when you are heartbroken.
01
From the moment she learned that she was going to meet Lin Muran's grandparents, Xiao Baobei started clamoring to get out of the car, but since Lin Muran swore to never open the door, all her actions were just thoughts.
Lin Muren parked the car in front of a luxurious five-star hotel. As soon as Lin Muren opened the car door, Xiao Baobei couldn't wait to open the door and run away. Of course, comparing the length of their legs, it can be guessed that Xiao Baobei is always easily caught by Lin Muren.
"Why should I meet your father, mother, grandparents? Besides, they mistakenly think I am yours..." Baby Xiao continued to struggle desperately as Lin Muran pulled him.
"I mistakenly thought you were something to me?" Lin Muren looked at Xiao Baobei, and that malicious smile slowly appeared again.
"Oh...anyway, I just won't go!" Xiao Baobei stammered, not knowing how to continue.
Lin Muran, who was standing aside, looked at Xiao Baobei, whose face was slightly red, and couldn't help feeling secretly happy. After the misunderstanding that day, he had thought about going home to explain to his parents, but who knew that his parents would tell his grandparents, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go all the way.
"You have to go whether you want to or not. You said those words that day. You have to be responsible to me." After saying that, Lin Muren dragged Xiao Baobei into the hotel lobby regardless of anything.
Baby Xiao was frightened by Lin Muran's words "You have to be responsible for me". Her mind went blank for a moment. She did not resist anymore, but followed Lin Muran's footsteps obediently.
“When you meet my grandparents later, be sweet to them! They are both 90 years old, so you have to act well.” Lin Muren gave careful instructions .
"Hmph! I'm so unlucky that I have to be your assistant and pretend to be your girlfriend part-time." Xiao Baobei, who was still unwilling, couldn't help but say unhappily as he walked.
"Well, pretend to be good, or I will dismiss you."
"I wish so." Baby Xiao pouted and complained softly.
Of course, this sentence has become a fantasy for Lin Muren, who is already a little nervous at the moment. You know, this is the first time he has brought a girl to meet his parents, and he brought such a worrying girl.
"Muren..." Lin Muran's mother started calling excitedly as soon as they entered the hotel lobby.
Lin Muran pulled Xiao Baobei towards her mother. Xiao Baobei suddenly felt a little weak in the legs. You know, it was also her first time to meet someone else's parents as a girlfriend.
"You are the baby, right? Our Mu Ran has already told me your name! My last name is Chen, you can call me Aunt Chen, this is your Uncle Lin, and these are grandpa and grandma."
Aunt Chen's smile eased Xiao Baobei's nervousness. She was stunned for a moment, and repeatedly reminded herself in her heart that she must continue pretending to be a girlfriend, otherwise she would lose her assistant job and Shen Xingru would be angry...
"Hello, Aunt Chen, Uncle Lin, Grandpa and Grandma." Baby Xiao greeted them with a smile.
Seeing Xiao Baobei's well-behaved appearance, Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction. The 90-year-old grandmother with a head full of silver hair grabbed Xiao Baobei's hand and said to Lin Muran happily: "Muran, I like your girlfriend, I like her."
After saying that, she took her baby and walked towards the hotel restaurant.
Xiao Baobei was pulled by his grandmother, and he did not forget to look back at Lin Muren. Lin Muren stood there, smiling slightly. I don’t know why, Xiao Baobei recalled Lin Muren’s smile at that time a long time later, and always felt that Lin Muren at that time exuded an unknown light. And that faint, satisfied, gentle smile was a small molecule that condensed the light.
Grandma pulled Xiao Baobei to the dining table and asked her to sit next to her. Grandpa sat next to Grandma and couldn't help smiling at Xiao Baobei.
After everyone sat down, no one ordered food, but everyone looked at Xiao Baobei with a smile.
Baby Xiao became at a loss amidst so many well-intentioned gazes. She could only look at Lin Muran for help , but that guy seemed to be very satisfied with the scene in front of him. He just smiled slyly but didn't say anything.
"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, what do you want to eat?" After a long time, Xiao Baobei really couldn't stand this strange atmosphere and spoke up to break the awkwardness.
After hearing what Xiao Baobei said, everyone reacted.
"Baby, don't mind it! The reason we are so happy is that Mu Ran finally brought his girlfriend back. You know? We have asked him many times before, but he always said that he didn't have anyone he liked or a girlfriend. Now, we finally have you."
Grandma's words made Xiao Baobei swallow his saliva in shock. Lin Muren had never brought a girl home? She was actually the first girl that Lin Muren brought home!
"Yes, your grandmother and I are old. Actually, we don't have any wishes. Our only wish is to see our grandson's girlfriend before we die." said the grandfather .
Grandpa's words gradually made Xiao Baobei's desire to explain her relationship with Lin Muren fade away. She really couldn't bear to see the lost expression on the old man's face.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, we can talk while eating later. Let's order first! Baby, what do you want to eat?" Uncle Lin handed the menu to Baby Xiao.
Xiao Baobei took the menu and handed it to the grandparents beside him: "Grandpa and grandma, what do you want to eat? I'm not picky about food."
This action of Xiao baby won everyone's favor again. Grandpa and grandma said with a smile that they would listen to the baby about what to eat today and eat whatever the baby said.
"I want sashimi and clam soup." Just as everyone was discussing the dishes, Lin Muran, who had been silent nearby, spoke.
But no one paid any attention to him. Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Baobei, who was anxiously and frantically choosing dishes.
Lin Muren looked at the happy scene in front of him, and suddenly had an idea that it would be nice to continue like this.
After all the dishes were served, everyone ate while telling Xiao Baobei about Lin Muran’s past embarrassing stories.
“Baby, let me tell you another story!” After telling the story of how Lin Muren was punished by her teacher to clean the boys’ and girls’ toilets when she was a child because she was too naughty and was accidentally mistaken for a girl, Aunt Chen couldn’t help but start to reveal some big news while putting food into Xiao Baby’s bowl.
"Mom, eat more vegetables and talk less." Lin Muren, who was already feeling a little uneasy, protested with some dissatisfaction.
Baby Xiao had already been amused by Lin Muran's embarrassing moments, and seeing Lin Muran's somewhat dissatisfied look, she felt even happier.
"Okay, I'll eat." Aunt Chen glanced at Lin Muran with a sly smile still on her lips.
Seeing this, the grandmother on the side took Xiao Baobei's hand and began to reveal the news: "If she doesn't tell you, I will tell you."
"Yeah." Xiao Baobei nodded hurriedly. He needed to know more about the embarrassing things of the arrogant Lin Muran, so that he would have material to him hard!
This was what Xiao Baobei thought before he listened to his grandmother's story, but after listening to the story, Xiao Baobei's opinion of Lin Muren changed a little.
"That was when he was in the fourth grade. I almost died of a stroke at that time. During the time he was in the hospital, he brought fairy tales to me every day. I told him that if grandma died, she would turn into a firefly and stay by his side. I just told him a story at the time, but I didn't expect the child to take it seriously. It was July in the summer, and he ran to the bushes by himself to catch a lot of fireflies. When he came to see me the next day, he brought those fireflies with him. He told me that if one day I died and turned into a firefly, he would catch me, put me in a bottle, and take me with him wherever he went. But guess what happened later?"
After grandma finished speaking, Xiao Baobei's eyes became wet unconsciously. She blinked her eyes and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Later on the third day, all the fireflies in the bottle died, so he yelled at the doctor, asking him to perform surgery on the fireflies to bring them back to life. The doctor couldn't do anything about him." After saying that, grandma couldn't help but look at Lin Muran with a smile.
During the entire storytelling process, Lin Muren did not say a word, but just kept his head down and ate.
"Yes, I explained to him for a long time that the lifespan of a firefly is very short, usually only two to three days. But he just wouldn't listen. He even said that if grandma turns into a firefly in the future, she must be saved." Aunt Chen at the side also added.
While Xiao Baobei was laughing along, he couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Lin Muran who was standing beside him.
I really didn't expect that such a cocky and somewhat annoying boy could have such kind and lovely thoughts.
While eating, Baby Xiao redefined the image of Lin Muran in his mind.
While eating and chatting, Xiao Baobei heard a lot of embarrassing stories about Lin Muran. Every time he heard something, Xiao Baobei felt like he got to know Lin Muran all over again.
"I'm going to the bathroom." After Xiao Baobei's stomach was about to explode, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Xiao Baobei washed his face, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly realized that everything he had just done was a deception.
Even though it was a lie, I couldn't bear to expose it when I saw how happy my grandparents were.
"Baby." At this moment, Aunt Chen's voice sounded behind her.
Xiao Baobei turned around and looked at Aunt Chen who was pushing the door open. He called out in surprise, "Aunt Chen."
Aunt Chen washed her hands beside Xiao Baobei, then looked at her with a smile: "Baby, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I almost thought that our Lin Muran didn't like girls!"
Listening to Aunt Chen's words, Xiao Baobei's head slid across several black lines...
What an open-minded mother!
"Although there are many girls who like him, he has never told us who he likes. I am always worried that he will like a boy!"
"Haha, Auntie, no way, how could Lin Muren like boys?" Xiao Baobei smiled awkwardly, but a sentence she saw on the Internet flashed through her mind - it would be a pity for such a good boy not to like boys.
At this time, Lin Muran, who was sitting at the dinner table, felt his nose itchy for some reason and couldn't help sneezing.
"A-choo..."
When Xiao Baobei and Aunt Chen came out of the bathroom, Grandpa and Grandma stood up and said goodbye to Xiao Baobei. Lin Muren also received the task of going on a date with Xiao Baobei alone under everyone's orders.
After the uncles and aunts, grandparents and grandparents left, Xiao Baobei, who walked out of the hotel, suddenly realized that this time he had messed up a lot...
Just because she couldn't bear it, just because she didn't come to her senses, Xiao Baobei pushed herself into the abyss of being the girlfriend recognized by the Lin family.
"Let's go, Xiao baby's girlfriend." After watching his parents leave, Lin Muren nudged Xiao baby, who was standing beside him in a daze, with his arm.
"It's all over now..." Xiao Baobei sighed, the corners of his mouth trembling uncontrollably.
Agreeing to pretend to be Lin Muran's girlfriend was truly the worst decision she had ever made.
She regretted it. She shouldn't have agreed...
"What's over?" Lin Muren glanced at Xiao Baobe beside him.
"We're done! What should we do now? Your grandparents and your parents all think I'm your girlfriend. Should we explain? If explaining doesn't work, we can pretend to be together for a month, and then after a month, tell them that we broke up because of personality incompatibility. How about that? Otherwise, I can't always pretend to be your girlfriend, right?"
How is that impossible?
This was Lin Muran’s first thought, but of course, he couldn’t say it out loud.
"If you want to explain, go ahead and explain. I won't go anyway. You see my grandparents are so old, I can't bear to tell them, they will be heartbroken. Alas..." After saying that, Lin Muren did not forget to make a sad expression.
Listening to Lin Muran's words and looking at his expression, Xiao Baobei couldn't help but pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.
She does all the hard work! She plays all the bad guys!
Lin Muran really would think...
"Let's go." Xiao Baobei said a word and strode forward.
"Where are you going?"
"Forget about the date or the meal, just take me back to the dorm."
"I didn't even think about taking you out for a dinner date!"
"you……"
"Also, you went the wrong way. My car is parked on the other side..."
Xiao Baobei didn't let Lin Muren send her to the dormitory door, but got off the car at the school gate. She didn't want to be misunderstood by her classmates when she couldn't get clear with Lin Muren's family .
On the way back to the dormitory, Xiao Baobei was thinking about how to explain to Shen Xingru that he had accidentally pretended to be Lin Muren's girlfriend. Of course, a large part of the reason for this was because of Shen Xingru. If she hadn't asked Xiao Baobei to be an undercover agent, Xiao Baobei would not have agreed to Lin Muren's unreasonable request.
"Xiao baby!"
Just as he was thinking, Xiao Baobei heard a somewhat familiar voice calling his name.
Xiao Baobei slowly turned her head and saw a face she didn't want to see. If one day, she could make anyone on earth disappear, the first person she wanted to make disappear would be Su Mengchen.
"What?" Baby Xiao felt an ominous aura.
It seems that every time I meet Su Mengchen, something bad always happens to me.
For example, last time, Lin Muran’s parents misunderstood...
"Why are you alone? Aren't you going on a date with Lin Muren?" Su Mengchen slowly walked to Xiao Baobei's side, and as she walked, she couldn't help but look her up and down.
Xiao Baobei wanted to blurt out, what date? He is not my boyfriend! But then she thought about it. Last time, she said in front of Su Mengchen that Lin Muren was his boyfriend.
"I just got back from a date. How can I help you?" Xiao Baobei answered while feeling sad about the mutually exploitative relationship between himself and Lin Muren.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see you and ask you how things are going between you and Lin Muren?"
"He and I are doing fine, thank you for your concern." Baby Xiao didn't believe that Su Mengchen was talking to him for such a simple purpose!
"Do you really like Lin Muran? Do you like him more than Li Yange?"
Xiao Baobei, who had managed to pretend to be strong and imposing, was thrown into a state of confusion by Su Mengchen's words.
"I think that you still like Li Yange more. You have to know that you have liked him for three years, and three years of feelings cannot be given up just like that..." Seeing that Xiao Baobei did not say anything, Su Mengchen immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued him.
"So what?" Xiao Baobei asked impatiently, feeling very upset.
"I've thought of a way to have the best of both worlds." Su Mengchen approached Xiao Baobei with a wicked and cunning smile on her face, "Let's exchange boyfriends, shall we? I'll give Li Yange to you, and you'll give Lin Muran to me, okay?"
Listening to Su Mengchen's words, Xiao Baobei couldn't help but reveal an incredible expression. She looked at Su Mengchen's extremely expectant look, and something slipped through her mind.
Is this girl a fool?
"Okay? Think about it. Anyway, I prefer handsome, rich and talented guys like Lin Muren. And you can't let go of Li Yange, so why don't we exchange?" Su Mengchen seemed to have fallen into her own imaginary dream. She began to fantasize with her hands on her chin.
Looking at Su Mengchen like this, Xiao Baobei couldn't help but say what slipped out of his mouth: "You really interpret the four words 'big breasts and no brains' vividly!"
All of Su Mengchen's fantasies were shattered by Xiao Baobei's words. She frowned and asked angrily, "You, you, what did you say!"
"I said you have big breasts and no brains, is that a compliment?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, feelings are not something that can be given up just like that! If you don't really like Li Yange, then please leave him and don't hurt him with your feelings." For some reason, even though Xiao Baobei knew that it was Li Yange who let her down in the matter of feelings, she could not hate him.
I even hope that he can be happy...
At the moment, Xiao Baobei thought that she had this idea because she was too kind. Later, she realized that this had nothing to do with kindness. When you have decided to let go of someone, forgiving him and wishing him happiness is the first step you must take.
"Hmph, I knew you were still obsessed with Li Yange. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I tell you, I will never give up on Li Yange. Now, his heart is with me. When you are willing to give up Lin Muren, I will give up on him." Su Mengchen looked aggressive.
Baby Xiao glanced at her sideways, with helplessness, sympathy, and disgust in his eyes.
"Whatever you want." Xiao Baobei said this coldly and walked towards the dormitory, leaving Su Mengchen stamping his feet in annoyance.
