Seeing Gong Xue's pitiful appearance, Lin Huowang was both moved and a little sorry for her.
He felt guilty.
Indeed, having been away for so long, I haven't had much contact or concern with my hometown in Northeast China. I've only occasionally asked County Chief Xiong to keep an eye on my mother and sister.
As for Gong Xue, when he came last time to ask for the finished product of "Bright Sword" to be broadcast on Japanese television, he asked Director Su of Changchun Film Studio about it. Knowing that she was working very hard, he didn't pay any more attention to it.
"Come in, it's so cold outside."
Lin Huowang quickly took out his keys, opened the door, and invited her in. He then opened his suitcase and took out some things from it.
"This is... a gift that Mengmeng asked me to bring to you."
Gong Xue stopped crying and looked over curiously, only to find some beautifully packaged clothes and skincare products she had never seen before.
When she saw those traditional Chinese characters on the trademarks from Hong Kong Island, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. She knew perfectly well that Liu Rumeng had gone to Hong Kong's capitalist society to seek refuge with her wealthy relatives there.
Lin Huowang's departure during this period was most likely due to his trip to Hong Kong Island, where he reconciled with Liu Rumeng.
Thinking about it this way, Gong Xue felt even more certain that she and Lin Huowang had no chance.
She didn't even dare to ask Lin Huowang, "Have you and Mengmeng made up?"
She was terrified of hearing that affirmative answer she didn't want to hear.
Seeing Gong Xue's momentary dejection, Lin Huowang could roughly guess her feelings.
He sighed inwardly.
Actually, he came back this time to talk to Gong Xue about these things.
Gong Xue grew up in China and had traditional values. He felt that she would not accept that he had so many women.
Therefore, he planned to break things off with Gong Xue and make her give up any lingering feelings for him.
Before he could figure out how to say it, Gong Xue picked up an envelope from among the gifts.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Mengmeng... wrote me a letter?"
Gong Xue opened the envelope with a puzzled look, took out the letter, and began to read it carefully.
Lin Huowang looked at her, just about to organize his thoughts.
But just then, he noticed that Gong Xue's expression was becoming increasingly shocked.
After reading the letter, she suddenly looked up at Lin Huowang, then looked down at the letter again...
After repeating this several times, the previous look of disappointment and sadness on her face was suddenly replaced by an extremely complex expression that was both shy and conflicted.
Lin Huowang was completely dumbfounded when he saw Gong Xue's strange expression—a mixture of shyness, hesitation, and even a hint of... "going all out."
"Gong Xue, what... what exactly did Mengmeng write in her letter?"
"N-nothing!"
Gong Xue's cheeks turned so red they were almost bleeding. She snatched the letter back, folded it carefully like a treasure, and stuffed it into her pocket, as if it were some kind of imperial edict.
"Nothing?" Lin Huowang was both amused and exasperated. "Nothing? Why is your face so red? Nothing... look at that expression..."
"Oh dear!" Gong Xue stamped her foot, as if she had made a huge decision.
She raised her head, her large, watery eyes sparkling in the light, looking at Lin Huowang with a mixture of shyness and determination: "Comrade Lin Huowang... I... I won't leave tonight."
"Huh?" Lin Huowang thought he had misheard. "You're not leaving? Why aren't you going back to your dorm? What are you doing here? This...this isn't right!"
"I don't care!" Gong Xue's stubbornness kicked in. "Anyway... anyway, Mengmeng said in her letter that she's not coming back from Hong Kong. So in Kunming, I'll... I'll stay with you!"
What is all this nonsense?!
Lin Huowang was completely bewildered. He simply couldn't imagine how Liu Rumeng, that aloof and ethereal "fairy," could write such "wild and lewd words" to arrange a "harem" for her.
“She…she also said…” Gong Xue’s voice was barely audible, “She said you were too tired and lonely being out there all by yourself, and that I should…take good care of you at home…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Xue ignored Lin Huowang's reaction and actually started tidying up the room and making the bed for him, looking just like a dutiful wife.
Lin Huowang was completely defeated by this "remote control".
"Gong Xue, tell me honestly, what exactly was written in that letter?" he pressed.
Gong Xue paused in making the bed, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him with her cheeks puffed out. However, her gaze was not intimidating at all; instead, it was alluring.
"Hmph! These are girls' private conversations, don't you dare pry into them, you stinky man!"
After saying that, she ignored Lin Huowang, who was frozen in place, and continued with her work.
That night, Gong Xue stayed in Lin Huowang's room and didn't leave.
Outside the window, the cold wind howled and snow fell heavily.
Inside the window, the light was dim and warm, and the atmosphere was full of spring.
...
Just as Lin Huowang was taking the college entrance examination in Kunming and was "forced" to accept Gong Xue's care, a global storm was intensifying.
Western countries.
The Christmas season has officially begun!
Fifth Avenue in New York, Regent Street in London, the Champs-Élysées in Paris... all the major shopping malls and department stores are beautifully decorated, and the surging crowds indicate that the biggest shopping spree of the year has arrived.
In the home appliance section of all shopping malls, the most eye-catching and busiest counters are no longer Sony or Panasonic, but are occupied by a striking red "dragon" logo - Dragon Brand Appliances!
"Daddy! Daddy! Look! I want that! I want that Pikachu TV!"
