While the entire internet was eating the gossip about Xuan Yihan's family and were extremely happy to see them looking as miserable as dogs that had lost their homes, there were some people who simply couldn't be happy.

Everyone in the Lin family, young and old, has been heartbroken these days.

Especially Xie Roufei, as a mother, she couldn't sleep all night when she thought about her child's past experiences.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Lin Yanhui returned home, but Xie Roufei was still awake.

"How about it?"

When Xie Roufei saw Lin Yanhui, she immediately looked up and looked at him nervously.

Lin Yanhui nodded, "It's okay, baby, all the negative news has been deleted, the Bai family won't release it anymore, and Xuan family Yunzhe's side has been almost dealt with."

After hearing this, Xie Roufei nodded with some relief, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

What they can do for their children now is merely post-traumatic compensation.

But she couldn't turn back time to protect her child from getting hurt...

Her child never received the love and care he deserved since childhood, was abused for 16 years, and was later locked up in an Internet addiction treatment center where he became so depressed that he almost committed suicide...

When Xie Roufei thought of the helpless Lin Yanran at that time, she felt extremely painful and her heart ached.

If she had been more careful at the beginning, the child would not have been left alone and suffered so much.

Lin Yanhui saw tears in Xie Roufei's eyes again, and knew that she was blaming herself again, so he hugged her gently.

"This kind of thing will never happen again. We will protect Ranran."

"Have some sleep. He will be back tomorrow."

Because Bai Tianyu was arrested and Lin Yanran was also one of the witnesses, she had been shuttling back and forth between police stations these days.

In addition to dealing with the follow-up matters of the Xuan family, he was so busy these days that he only talked to his family on the phone.

But from beginning to end, he never told these things to his family.

He was afraid that his family would worry if they knew.

Especially the mother, who was hit hard by the loss of her child and has been blaming herself ever since.

Now that she has finally come to terms with it, if she knew what the original owner had gone through, she would definitely be extremely sad.

But soon Lin Yanran also found out. Although she didn't say it, everyone in their family knew about it.

After all, Xuan’s group is so big and it had been doing fine before, but problems arose in the past few days.

Such a vigorous and decisive approach is very similar to his brother's style.

The driver stopped the car before entering the garage of the Lin family villa.

Lin Yanran, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and found that his family members were standing at the door waiting for him.

Lin Yanran quickly opened the car door.

As soon as he opened the door, his family members strode towards him.

Xie Roufei, in particular, trotted forward and hugged her son in her arms.

Xie Roufei had been preparing herself mentally for a long time, and had been telling herself to control her emotions, fearing that bringing up the past would remind Lin Yanran of the past and cause a relapse of her depression.

But the moment she saw her son, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Looking at her mother who had lost weight, Lin Yanran felt sad.

He whispered to apologize to Xie Roufei, "I'm sorry, Mom. I made you worry."

Xie Roufei hugged Lin Yanran tightly, shaking her head and sobbing, "Don't say sorry, baby, you haven't let anyone down, you are so brave, you are your mother's pride..."

"It's mom who's sorry for you."

"No." Lin Yanran didn't want Xie Roufei to be so sad anymore, so she comforted her softly, "Mom, it's all over."

What happened in the past was too tragic, and the Lin family had used all sorts of connections in the past few days, so they knew everything they wanted to know.

Therefore, after Xie Roufei calmed down, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter.

They didn't want Lin Yanran to be hurt again while telling them the story.

Lin Yanran didn't want to upset his family with such a tragic event.

They all want to protect their beloved family members.

Xie Roufei and Lin Yanhui cooked dinner personally, and all the dishes were Lin Yanran's favorites.

Xie Roufei didn't eat much either, she was just busy picking up food for Lin Yanran.

Lin Yanran met Xie Roufei's gentle gaze, "Mom, you should eat something too."

Xie Roufei nodded and ate a little.

Lin Yunzhe on the side deliberately said in a sour tone, "Mom's cooking skills are really good, but it's a pity that I can't eat it more than a few times a year."

Xie Roufei hasn't cooked for many years, and her slender fingers have never touched dainty water.

Now she cooks again, only when Lin Yanran comes home.

Lin Yanhui also laughed and touched his stomach, "Ranran, please come back every day, I will also benefit from it."

Lin Yanran made eye contact with her father and brother, and then she smiled and complained to Xie Roufei, "I know, I know, Mom. My brother and father are dissatisfied with me."

Xie Roufei looked at the father and his two sons, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

She cut the baked chiffon cake into small pieces and stuffed a piece into Lin Yanhui's mouth, "Eat the cake and stop talking."

Lin Yanhui, who almost choked, deliberately said, "How sweet, my wife!"

Lin Yunzhe shook his head, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.

Lin Yanran also smiled and finished the cake on her plate, then handed the empty plate to her brother.

"Brother, the cake is delicious, give me half~"

Lin Yunzhe quickly cut a huge piece of his cake and gave it to Lin Yanran.

The two brothers smiled quietly at each other.

My elder brother Lin Yunzhe doesn’t like cakes and sweets, but he doesn’t want to spoil his mother’s fun.

So in the past, whenever her mother baked a cake, Lin Yanran would find various excuses to help her brother take away most of it.

Even now, it's the same.

After that, Lin Yanran rested at home for a few days. During this time, his parents stayed with him until he left for work.

After returning to her residence, Lin Yanran closed all the curtains and lay on the sofa, watching a movie quietly.

Lin Yanran actually didn't pay any attention to what was happening in the movie. In the darkness, his mind was in a mess.

The scenes of the past few days at home kept flashing through Lin Yanran’s mind.

Although his family members didn't mention anything, he could feel that his parents were trying their best to make it up to him and wanted to give him extra care.

But the more her family members did this, the more conflicted Lin Yanran felt.

He knew that he was getting a little too obsessed with his thinking.

Intellectually, he has always known that he doesn't need to be so serious. The current situation is like this. He has traveled through a book, and the parents in this world are his own parents.

But emotionally, he felt that he couldn't accept this love so easily.

He always couldn't help but think that the other party had suffered so much, and if he could hold on for a few more months, perhaps he would be able to reunite with his parents.

Although he knew that in the plot of this book, the original owner's final outcome was death and he did not get to recognize his parents, Lin Yanran still felt indescribably sad.

Before he had no family, he could easily accept these settings.

But now, not only have I found my family, but they also feel guilty about what happened to the original owner in the past and want to make amends for themselves, so that I can enjoy this love...

Every time she faced them, Lin Yanran felt like she had robbed the original owner of their love.

When Gu Siye came back, he saw Lin Yanran looking conflicted and frustrated.

In his impression, Lin Yanran is a decisive, confident, and radiant little sun.

This was the first time he saw such a lost expression on the other person's face.

Gu Siye walked to Lin Yanran.

But after a long time, the other party raised his head slightly.

After seeing Gu Siye's appearance clearly, Lin Yanran spoke softly.

The voice was low and a little muffled.

"Teacher Gu."

Knowing that Lin Yanran was in a bad mood, Gu Siye only responded but did not continue speaking.

He sat next to Lin Yanran and accompanied him quietly for a while.

Lin Yanran hasn't sorted out her thoughts yet, so naturally she has nothing to say to Gu Siye.

But he didn't want Gu Siye to misunderstand or worry too much, so he lay on his legs, closed his eyes and tried to sort out his emotions.

Lin Yanran didn't know how long he had been lying there. He only felt a warm hand gently stroking his hair while he was half asleep.

Then Gu Siye asked in a low voice above his head, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Lin Yanran wanted to shake her head, but she felt her hand surrounded by warmth.

"Let's take Ultraman with us."

Gu Siye's tone was so gentle, as gentle as a clear spring, and Lin Yanran couldn't refuse.

So he slowly stood up, bent down and held Ultraman in his arms.

He said he was going out for a walk, but Gu Siye took him directly to the basement and drove the car.

Lin Yanran was sitting in the passenger seat. Because she was in a bad mood, she didn't pay attention to the scenery outside the window.

When Gu Siye parked the car at a Chinese-style garden villa located halfway up the mountain, Lin Yanran was shocked to realize that he had taken her to a very far place.

"Where is this?"

Lin Yanran glanced around. The environment here was very quiet, the scenery was very beautiful, and even the air was much fresher than what she usually breathed.

Standing here feels like being in a paradise.

Gu Siye locked the car and explained to Lin Yanran, "It's a property I bought before."

Before Lin Yanran could respond, the Ultraman in his hand jumped out of his hand, and then it began to let out the wind for itself, running forward while howling.

"Ultraman, wait for me!"

Lin Yanran hurriedly chased Ultraman, but Gu Siye picked up Ultraman before him.

"Don't run around. I'll take you to a place in a moment."

After Gu Siye finished speaking to Ultraman, his gaze fell on Lin Yanran, as if it was a silent invitation.

Lin Yanran understood what Gu Siye meant and asked him, "Did Teacher Gu bring me here for a walk?"

After saying this, he stretched out a hand.

No one will disturb them here, so they can do some intimate actions as they please.

Gu Siye nodded, smiled softly, walked to Lin Yanran, and held Lin Yanran's hand tightly.

Then Gu Siye held the naughty Ultraman in one hand and held his lover's hand with the other, and led him into the depths of the garden.

After passing several courtyards, a cherry blossom forest suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yanran.

It is the season when cherry blossoms bloom, and the clusters of pink snowballs on the cherry trees are very beautiful.

A gentle breeze blew, and the tiny petals fell to the ground, covering a full layer.

The warm red sunset shone obliquely on Lin Yanran, making his face look a little red.

Lin Yanran felt as if her mood suddenly became much better.

When Ultraman saw so many cherry blossoms, he was so happy that he struggled and wanted to jump down.

This time, Gu Siye did not stop it and let it play happily on the cherry petals.

Gu Siye pointed to a lush cherry tree in front and said to Lin Yanran, "I planted this one ten years ago."

Lin Yanran looked towards the cherry blossom tree, her eyes gradually brightening, "As handsome as Teacher Gu."

The yard is very large and the roads are lined with cherry blossoms.

Lin Yanran walked down the road and found that she had actually circled halfway up the mountain.

Ultraman seemed to like these cherry blossoms very much. He stepped on the petals like a perpetual motion machine that never knew fatigue, and ran happily in front to lead the way for the two of them.

However, when Lin Yanran turned a corner, she found that Ultraman had stopped under a bench nearby.

Then he heard a cat's meow.

A beautiful little orange cat was lying on a bench basking in the sun.

The setting sun only illuminated half of the bench. Lin Yanran approached the kitten, stood on the shadowy side, bent down and greeted it, "Hello, kitten."

The kitten turned its head and looked at Lin Yanran lazily, then meowed at him as if it was acting coquettishly.

"Its name is Meng Meng."

Gu Siye introduced Lin Yanran, "It has a very docile personality, you can pet it as you like."

After listening to this, Lin Yanran sat next to Mengmeng.

He stretched out his hand, placed it gently on the kitten's head and touched it. It felt soft and comfortable.

Ultraman was probably tired too, so he leaned against Lin Yanran's feet and began to snore.

The setting sun went down a little, and bits of light shone on Lin Yanran's face.

The spring breeze blew on her body and she was stroking the cat in her hand. Lin Yanran felt quite comfortable.

He narrowed his eyes and said to Gu Siye beside him, "Teacher Gu, I'm a little sleepy. Let me lean on your shoulder."

Gu Siye hugged Lin Yanran and gently brought him to his shoulders.

A lot of cherry blossom petals fell without me noticing.

After several petals fell on his shoulders, Gu Siye heard the person next to him finally speak.

Lin Yanran slowly told Gu Siye what she had not finished saying last time.

His thoughts were in a mess, he spoke incoherently, and he didn't know if he had made himself clear.

But from beginning to end, he could clearly feel the warmth conveyed to him by Gu Siye's palm.

"Teacher Gu, I'm so conflicted now."

"Every time I'm with my parents, I feel like they've never left me."

"But every time I think of the original Yan Ran... and his past experiences, I know very clearly that my family, although they look the same, are not the ones I remember."

"We were standing face to face, but I always felt like more than 20 years had passed between us."

"I don't want them to worry about me because of past experiences, because we are not alone."

"So I always feel that I am not qualified to enjoy the family love on his behalf. The more my family treats me well because of the tragic experiences in the past, the more confused and guilty I feel."

"Teacher Gu, what should I do... I don't seem to be able to handle this family relationship well."

"Teacher Gu, I miss my parents so much..."

After Lin Yanran poured out what was buried in her heart, she fell asleep.

While he was dazed, he felt someone hugging him gently.

Feeling the familiar smell surrounding her, Lin Yanran rubbed her face against the other person's clothes like a kitten, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the man talking to him.

But he was so sleepy that he didn't hear a word.

In his dream, he dreamed of his family... and then he dreamed of Gu Siye.

As the setting sun sank into the afterglow, a petal gently fell on Lin Yanran's cheek.

His frown finally relaxed.
