The world treats me like a blade of grass, only you see me as verdant mountains!
Her lonely helplessness, only he felt pity for her; his confusion and hesitation, only she understood him. Eve...

Lin Tingfeng looked at the snow outside the car window. The snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier, and the outside world was a silvery white world. The road was like a sandwich, black in the middle and white on both sides. The cars parked on the side of the road were piled with snow, like big white steamed buns that had just been steamed.
The scenery outside the window was romantic, and the car was warm, just like springtime.
At this moment, Ye Wenyu's soft, sweet voice rang out as she gently said to him, "Tingfeng?"
Lin Tingfeng replied, "Hmm?" He felt a sweet warmth in his heart, as if sugar threads could be drawn out of the air.
Like a cat, she nuzzled her face against his chest and said to him, "My mother is gone. Now, in this world, you are my only family."
She spoke slowly and haltingly, like a thread drawn from an old wooden box, but she spoke very clearly. After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes in peace and hugged Lin Tingfeng even tighter.
Lin Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, a warm feeling swept through his heart, and then, slowly, he smiled.
Yes, she's right. She only had one relative, her mother. Now that her mother is dead, she's an orphan in this world. She's with him now, and he's her only family, her only relative.
Thinking about it this way, although he made a big mistake before, everything has two sides. Now it seems that although he went too far, there was also a positive aspect to it, wasn't there?
From then on, he no longer had to worry or be afraid, because she had someone else to rely on, and he no longer had to suffer or be terrified that he would lose her.
Having already lost her once, he simply couldn't bear the pain of losing her a second time.
As Lin Tingfeng pondered, a slow smile crept onto his lips. Life is sometimes like walking on a knife's edge, but once you cross that edge, you can get everything you want. Therefore, sometimes you have to be ruthless and take risks.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wenyu lifted her head from Lin Tingfeng's embrace and asked him, "Tingfeng, I'm sleepy. I want to go home and sleep. Can you drive now?"
Lin Tingfeng pulled his thoughts back from their flight, smiled, reached out and touched her small, palm-sized face, and said to her with a smile, "Of course we can, let's go home now."
Ye Wenyu smiled and nodded happily.
Lin Tingfeng then restarted the car and drove home through the snow.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the neighborhood where they had previously bought their house. Lin Tingfeng found a parking space, parked the car, and the two got out.
Because it was already late at night, and the roads were slippery due to the snow, Lin Tingfeng held Ye Wenyu's hand the whole time. They walked slowly in the snow, taking each step very carefully, worried that they would slip on the icy road.
Looking at the scenery in the neighborhood, Ye Wenyu felt a mix of emotions, like a jumbled bottle of mixed feelings. She thought to herself, "She's back. After half a year, she's back!"
But now, things are different from before; there are many differences.
Lin Tingfeng is divorced and is now a free man. They can date openly and honestly. From now on, she can live with her head held high and no longer have to live like a rat, worrying about being insulted and beaten at any time.
This is truly something to be happy about!
However, at the same time, there is also something sad: her mother is gone, and she has no relatives left in this world. Before, she lived for her mother, but now she can only live for herself and for Lin Tingfeng.
Ye Wenyu walked slowly in the snow, looking at the man holding her hand beside her. He was so tall and handsome. Even in the dim light of the snow, she could still see his handsome face, and his profile was so smooth and beautiful.
Will he treat her well? Will he dedicate the rest of his life to her and love her until they grow old together?
After thinking it over carefully, she felt much more certain than before. Before, because he was married and had never divorced, Ye Wenyu was unsure whether he loved her or not. She sometimes believed him and sometimes doubted him, and her heart was like a swaying scale, sometimes tilting to the left and sometimes to the right.
Trust is in the left hand, and doubt is in the right.
But things are different now. He divorced his wife for her. He said that after some time, he would marry her. For someone as important, wealthy, and powerful as him to marry a poor girl like her, he must love her very much to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu stopped and called out to Lin Tingfeng, "Tingfeng?"
The streetlights emitted an orange glow, and although it was a snowy winter day, her heart felt warm, as if she were nestled by a fireplace.
Lin Tingfeng stopped and gazed at her tenderly, smiling as he said, "It's cold, let's go home first. We can talk about it when we get home."
But Ye Wenyu didn't care about anything else; she insisted on knowing the answer right now. She asked him, "Tingfeng, you really love me, don't you?"
The snow was falling heavily, creating a scene as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Lin Tingfeng looked at her, and slowly smiled. He said gently, "Silly girl, a long, long time ago, I told you that love is not something you say, but something you do."
Ye Wenyu nodded gently.
Lin Tingfeng said to her, "To see if someone loves you, don't care what they say, but look at what they do for you, understand?"
Ye Wenyu nodded again. She understood now; he had divorced his wife for her, and he had promised to marry her.
Lin Tingfeng took her hand and continued walking forward, saying to her, "Let's go back then."
Ye Wenyu remained standing in the snow without moving.
The camphor tree leaves were covered with a thick layer of white snow, and under the streetlights, they looked like white flowers blooming in spring—it was incredibly beautiful.
Lin Tingfeng turned around curiously. Ye Wenyu thought for a moment and said to him seriously, "Tingfeng, let's make up."
Lin Tingfeng smiled and said to her, "Of course."
Her hands were red and swollen from the cold, like carrots. He picked up her other hand and warmed it in his own palm.
Ye Wenyu continued, "Tingfeng, have I ever told you that I love you?"
Lin Tingfeng smiled and said, "It seems not." He thought back carefully in his mind, and it seemed that this girl had never confessed to him from the beginning until now.
Ye Wenyu blushed and said to him, "Then I'll say it now, Lin Tingfeng, I love you! You are my first love, and the love of my life. I will love you until I die!" After saying that, she seemed a little embarrassed and smiled sweetly at him with a blushing face.
That face is so lifelike, it's absolutely adorable.
Lin Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a warmth in his heart and his nose tingled. This girl, sometimes she really touched him!
In truth, looking back on his dark past, he really wasn't good enough for her.
