Lin Lanzhi's mood at this moment was undoubtedly complicated and sad. She wanted to get away from him and be alone, but she was afraid of being alone on such a cold night.
She was even more afraid that she would become greedy and have extravagant expectations for things that did not originally belong to her.
She should not rely on or be greedy for the warmth at that moment, then there would be no deeper pain and despair.
She is now as fragile as a piece of thin paper and can no longer withstand any blow.
Because of the unbearable bitterness in her heart, she bit her lips and sniffed her nose, trying hard not to let the tears flow out, and her steps became more and more hurried.
However, no matter how fast she walked, Mu Chuwei could still follow her at a certain distance, neither fast nor slow, neither close nor far.
Lin Lanzhi suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, turned around expressionlessly, and looked at the young man behind her.
The light from the street lamps cast an , making him look like someone walking out of a dream, beautiful and elusive.
She bit her lip, walked up to him as if she had made up her mind, raised her head, stared at him and asked, "Why are you following me? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"
"Can you please not think so badly of me?" Mu Chuwei glared at her angrily, but when he saw her eyes that were like black crystals just taken out of water, he felt distressed.
He sighed helplessly, stared at her deeply, and said, "If it was just to make fun of you, would I follow you around in the middle of the night?"
Lin Lanzhi stared at him blankly, with crystal tears condensing on her eyelashes. She frowned and asked, "Then why are you following me?"
Under the illumination of the street lamp, Mu Chuwei's handsome face was less casual and more gentle. He couldn't help but raise his hand and wipe the tears from her cheek, his movements were so gentle, just like a soft feather sliding across there.
"I follow you, not because I want to laugh at you, nor because I want to see you cry, but because I just want you to smile."
In the quiet night, his voice seemed particularly pleasant and gentle, without a trace of affectation. He sighed, and then said as if talking to himself: "But, what can I do to make you laugh?"
A gust of cold wind blew, and a few crystal snowflakes fell.
This was the first snow of early winter. The white snow fluttered silently around him and her like fallen petals, like a beautiful dance.
Lin Lanzhi subconsciously shrank her body and stared at him blankly. Her delicate eyelashes were like a butterfly in the dark night, and there was a thin layer of mist in the dark eyes under her eyelashes.
Even though he was right in front of her, even though he was so clear in her eyes, she still couldn't see through him. She couldn't guess what he was thinking, and she didn't dare to guess.
She took a deep breath, looked at him, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to be alone for a while, go away, don't follow me anymore."
After saying that, she turned around and found a bench on the side of the road to sit down.
Mu Chuwei had never expected her to react like this. He was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He didn't understand why she ignored and avoided his kindness to her.
He stood there, staring blankly at her sitting on the bench. She looked so lonely and fragile, yet she was like a hedgehog, not wanting anyone to get close to her.
What was she afraid of? Was she afraid of betrayal and abandonment, just like him?
Lin Lanzhi lowered her head slightly, the first snow in the night mixed with the cold wind blowing relentlessly on her frail body. She bit her lips tightly, hugged her arms tightly and tried to curl up into a ball to resist the invasion of the cold.
Seeing her like this, Mu Chuwei's heart couldn't help but ached, but he couldn't help but walk towards her.
"You don't let anyone accompany you when you're sad, and you don't tell anyone when you're cold. Lin Lanzhi, can't you be nicer to yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already put his coat on her, his movements were casual and natural, as if nothing could be more normal than this.
Lin Lanzhi froze for a moment, and when she reacted, her body was already surrounded by warmth. A scent that belonged only to him enveloped her, and she felt as if she had instantly entered another world.
The night wind whistling in my face and the snowflakes lightly falling on my body seemed to no longer be so cold.
She felt completely unnatural, and a blush appeared on her slightly pale face. She wanted to take off her coat, but she was a little greedy for this warmth.
While she was hesitating, Mu Chuwei had already pulled her in a certain direction. She suddenly realized what was going on and asked hurriedly, "Where are you taking me?"
Mu Chuwei turned around and blinked at her, his sexy lips opening and closing: "I'll take you to a warm place."
A warm place...
These words slowly passed through Lin Lanzhi's mind, and she was curious and confused. But Mu Chuwei did not give her a chance to think and guess. He took her hand and walked to the front of the dazzling sports car, opened the door, and stuffed her into the car without saying anything.
Lin Lanzhi sat in the passenger seat, looking at the various expensive and luxurious equipment in the car.
Mu Chuwei turned the air conditioner to the highest setting. The warm air blew towards him, slowly sweeping away the cold air that had just been brought in from outside the car.
Lin Lanzhi felt that every cell in her body was relaxed, and she took a deep breath.
Mu Chuwei looked at her with a smile, and said with a bit of pride: "How is it, this little world is warm, right?"
Lin Lanzhi looked straight into his charming eyes and said meaningfully: "If the heart is cold, then even if you stand in the sun, the world is not warm."
Mu Chuwei was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Then he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, you are right, but..." He paused, looking down at her heart, "I want to give your heart a warm world, but you always shut me out."
Lin Lanzhi stared at him blankly, feeling touched and a little sad. She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, lowered her head and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that my world will make you feel cold?"
Her slightly trembling voice was full of sadness and bitterness. Mu Chuwei stared at her, taking in all her conflicting and struggling emotions, his heart intertwined with pain and tenderness. He leaned forward, stretched out his arms and embraced her in his arms. Unexpectedly, she did not struggle like a sleepy kitten.
He patted her back gently, soothing her with the softest force.
He had never felt such a real feeling before. At this moment, she was actually in his arms, so thin, so fragile and helpless. He couldn't help but hug her tightly.
"Zhi'er, can you tell me?" He lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms , with a deep pity in his eyes, "Why did you run away from home? Did you have a quarrel with your family?"
He knew that she was not happy at home. Just now, he heard a lot of noise outside her house, as if they were arguing. Was she so timid because of the problems at home?
Thinking of what just happened at home, Lin Lanzhi's nose was sore. She held back her tears and replied stubbornly, "No, I just wanted to come out to see the stars."
Even though he knew she was lying, Mu Chuwei didn't want to expose her. After all, this might be her last barrier to protect herself.
He felt an unprecedented love for her. At this moment, he wanted to give her everything he had, just hoping that she would be happy.
Lin Lanzhi leaned weakly in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat. At this moment, she felt that her heart had never been so peaceful as it was at this moment, like a fleeting dream.
Suddenly, she felt very sad.
Perhaps it is because it is like a dream. Even if you can sleep for a long time, there will always be a day when you wake up.
She didn't dare to crave the warmth in his arms any longer, and subconsciously pushed him away, sitting up straight with a pale and slightly embarrassed face.
Mu Chuwei looked at her leaving his arms. Although he felt a little disappointed, he did not dare to force her. He just stretched out his warm palm and gently stroked her cheek, staring at every subtle change on her face. Then he sighed and asked meaningfully, "Have you ever thought about leaving this place?" He paused and added, "Leave forever."
Lin Lanzhi's body stiffened. She had never expected that he would say such a thing to her, and she had never considered this question before.
leave?
Can she really leave? But where can she go? Is there any place in the world that can accommodate her?
But can she really abandon her blood relatives?
She shook her head and said calmly, "No, I don't want to go anywhere."
"Don't you want to go, or can't go?" Mu Chuwei stared at her intently, afraid that he would miss the emotion that flashed across her eyes if he blinked.
Lin Lanzhi also looked at him seriously, put her hand gently on her chest and said, "I have a bond in my heart, so I don't want to leave."
After saying this, she lowered her head again. Lost and helpless, she gradually enveloped her. She whispered, "They are my relatives, my dearest ones. Even if they don't like me, I can't help but love them."
Mu Chuwei looked at her in shock, feeling that the last sentence lingered in his mind like a magic, making him lose his mind and unable to extricate himself.
Even if they don't like me, I can't help loving them...
He suddenly understood why his mother's resolute departure had made him so heartbroken for so many years, but why he would always think of her figure whenever he was alone and sleepless at night...
I remember when she left, it was also such a cold night, and the scenes seemed to have happened yesterday...
Just as he was stunned, Lin Lanzhi yawned and felt tired. She wanted to put everything aside and have a good sleep.
She tilted her head and leaned back in her chair, looking at him, a thin mist covering her originally clear and dark eyes.
Mu Chuwei saw that she was sleepy, and couldn't help but said lovingly: "If you are sleepy, take a nap first."
"No, I want to go home." Lin Lanzhi shook her head sleepily and prepared to open the car door and get out.
"Wait a minute." Mu Chuwei immediately reached out and held her hand, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He looked at her puzzled face and said, "Are you sure you can get a good night's sleep when you go back?"
Lin Lanzhi was stunned. If she went back, she would have to face her family. It would be impossible for her to have a good sleep in such a familiar and depressing atmosphere .
While she was hesitating, Mu Chuwei showed a gentle smile on his handsome face. He said, "Although this bed is not as comfortable as yours, I promise that I will let you sleep peacefully. When you wake up, nothing will happen the next day."
He stared at her intently, with a gentle, almost bewitching light in his eyes.
Lin Lanzhi stared at him in a daze. At that moment, she felt as if a door suddenly opened in the darkness as deep as the night in her heart, allowing the bright and warm light to shine in instantly.
Such a clear and pure light made her feel warm and beautiful, illuminating the place in her heart that had been sealed in darkness for a long time. The light slowly fell and then froze.
She was like a possessed person, desperately trying to grasp the light. She was really tired at this moment, and she let herself get lost in the light. The heat from the carriage enveloped her like waves of hypnotic fog.
With him around, she could really sleep well, not thinking about anything, not worrying about anything, right?
Have a good sleep, tomorrow is a new day and nothing will happen, right?
She couldn't find the answer, but she couldn't care less. At this moment, she just wanted to unload all the burdens and fatigue on her body. She felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Before she fell asleep, she said lightly: "Then I'll sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything."
"Well, go to sleep and have a sweet dream."
Seeing her quickly falling asleep, Mu Chuwei smiled, his eyes revealing undisguised joy.
He gazed at her sleeping face quietly. The comfortable heating surrounded them in a narrow space. It seemed as if there were only the two of them in the whole world. It was so peaceful and beautiful.
He just looked at her like that, as if he could never get enough of her in his lifetime.
He couldn't help but lean over and gently kissed her cherry lips, then stared at her closely, his sexy lips slightly raised, and couldn't help but murmured: "Can I be in your dream?"
His voice is gentle yet charming, with a flavor of flowing water and floating sand.
early morning.
The sports car parked on the side of the road was quietly bathing in the warm light golden sunlight, and the gentle morning breeze blew in gusts, but all this could not affect the world inside the car.
The handsome boy fell asleep quietly against the back of the driver's seat , like a carefree child, without any defense, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, as if he was immersed in a sweet dream.
His hand was holding the hand of the girl who was sleeping in the passenger seat. They maintained this posture all night, but the two sleeping people did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Lin Lanzhi slept very soundly that night and woke up on time as usual , but everything she saw when she opened her eyes made her mind go blank for a moment.
When her memory slowly returned to the past, she slowly relaxed, then turned her head and looked at Mu Chuwei who was sleeping in the seat next to her. When he was asleep, he completely took off his usual disguise and became more charming. His handsome face was like what was depicted in a painting, making people want to reach out and touch it.
She was about to reach out her hand when she suddenly felt something was wrong and looked down along the arm hanging by her side. When she saw two hands tightly clasped together, she couldn't help but hold her breath.
The man's bony hands completely wrapped her fair palms in an extremely intimate manner. Such intimate actions were clearly only between close lovers, but she and him...
She suddenly felt embarrassed, and was afraid of waking him up and causing more embarrassment. She could only try hard to suppress her madly beating heart, not even daring to blink, and carefully pulled her hand out of his.
Her hands were finally free, and Mu Chuwei seemed to still be asleep, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before getting off the bus, she thought about it and left him a note: "Thank you for giving me a . I'm leaving first."
After putting down the note, she tiptoed to open the car door and got out, but the moment , she suddenly stopped.
Looking at the handsome boy sleeping in the car, a hint of tenderness unconsciously revealed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, like a flower blooming in the morning.
After closing the car door, she walked briskly towards home.
