After entering the house, Jiang Molin grabbed Lin Xingyu who was about to go upstairs.
Jiang Molin lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye, and said nervously, "Xingxing, can you accompany me to a place?"
? ?
Lin Xingyu was a little confused by his suggestion: "Where is this place? What's going on?"
Jiang Molin raised his head, looked at her face, and said gently: "It's in the utility room downstairs. I put some things there."
Although Lin Xingyu felt a little strange, she still went with him in case he needed help.
Jiang Molin pulled Lin Xingyu to the basement floor.
In front of a locked room door, Jiang Molin did not hide, entered the password and opened the door.
Lin Xingyu had wondered before why all the rooms in the house had no locks and she could come and go freely, but only this room was locked.
It seemed like today was the time to uncover the secret. What would be hidden in the locked rooms of the wealthy families? Gold, jewelry, diamonds, or even a treasure map? Lin Xingyu's heart was pounding. She had never imagined that one day she would be able to see some of the best stuff.
Lin Xingyu rubbed her hands in anticipation and followed him in. After stepping inside, she stayed where she was.
This is a very simple room, very clean, like a study, everything is neatly arranged, but there are not many things.
There was only a small safe, but it didn't look like it could hold much. Lin Xingyu was even more confused and walked obediently behind Jiang Molin.
Jiang Molin opened the safe and took things out.
Lin Xingyu: It's so exciting right from the start, playing such a big game, opening the safe directly. What kind of precious thing is this?
Jiang Molin carefully took out the photo album, a few pens, and some miscellaneous items, and placed them on the table with great care.
Lin Xingyu was speechless and didn't know where to start.
After Jiang Molin put his things down, he turned around and looked into Lin Xingyu's eyes. After a 2-second pause, he said seriously, "Xingxing, today I mainly want to confess something to you. Actually, there's a girl I've liked for a long time, but I've never dared to confess my feelings. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her, and I'm also afraid of rejection."
Lin Xingyu's expression was dull. It turned out that he had a white moonlight, and he had liked her for so many years, but he didn't dare to confess his feelings even though she was so outstanding. It was conceivable how outstanding that girl was and how deeply he loved her.
But if that’s the case, why do you want to marry me?
Oh, yes, he said it’s a matter of each taking what he needs.
But confessing to me now, is this to end this relationship? Lin Xingyu couldn't imagine any other reason besides this.
But why now, why when she fell in love with him?
He kept calling me his wife yesterday, why? Why is he doing this again today?
Lin Xingyu felt her heart aching so much, as if someone was knocking on it. Lin Xingyu didn't know how to respond. Maybe all this would end today.
She thought pessimistically.
Jiang Molin noticed that her expression was not right, but he still went on talking.
Jiang Molin: "When I was in junior high school, everyone gossiped about me and ostracized me. I became more and more withdrawn. When someone asked me for money, I just gave it to them. Later, more and more people came to me, and I gave them all. Until one day, a girl ran out from an alley."
"They held a stick and told them fiercely that her father was a teacher and would be coming to pick her up soon. They told them to get out of here and not to bully their classmates. They left, half believing it."
"She also taught me not to stand by and be bullied, but to fight back."
Jiang Molin still remembers her look and tone. She was wearing a school uniform and was not even as tall as him. She pointed at him and taught him, "You are taller than them. Why didn't you say no? You can't keep being bullied. If you do this again next time, come to me for help."
After saying that, he shook his head, ate his lollipop and left.
Jiang Molin continued to recall, "So, later I found out which school she went to, and I went there to study in high school. I even reported to the teacher and sat behind her."
"Afterwards, I had many opportunities to approach her and borrow her pen. I would quietly hide it and pretend I had forgotten to return it. I would also quietly collect her hairpins and rubber bands that she dropped. Later, we even took a photo together at a school event."
Jiang Molin was holding a photo, a student photo that was well preserved. The boy was smiling shyly, and the girl was smiling happily with her white teeth showing.
Lin Xingyu's heart, which had just fallen to the bottom, was now pulled up again by the ups and downs. These things were very vague in her memory, but the girl who was smiling happily in the photo was indeed her.
It was during the school anniversary celebration. After everyone had performed, the students were taking photos. While Lin Xingyu was taking photos, Jiang Molin, who was standing next to her, said to her, "Your performance was great. Can we take a photo together as a souvenir?"
So, there was the first photo of the two of them together.
It turned out that the girl was actually herself.
It turns out that he has loved me for so many years.
Lin Xingyu flipped through his belongings, and through his recollections, she slowly recalled some things from her school days. She had borrowed her own collection of practice questions and notebooks that had never been returned. She couldn't understand why the top student in her class would still look at her practice questions, or the small things she had misplaced.
Looking into her eyes, Jiang Molin became even more nervous. He had kept the secret for so many years, and now he wanted her to know. He didn't dare to imagine how she would react.
He kept touching his cufflinks, trying to control his overly rapid heartbeat. He timidly lowered his head, then looked at her again. After repeating this process, he mentally prepared himself before speaking, "Xingxing, I've liked you for a long time, so I slowly approached you a long time ago. I also admit that marrying you was because I took the trouble to get closer to you."
Suddenly realizing it, he raised his hand and then put it down again. "But he ran away from the marriage, it has nothing to do with me. What happened later was intentional on my part, and getting the marriage certificate with you was also my scheming. So, I never dared to tell you. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it, and I was also afraid you would leave me. Xingxing, I love you, I love you very much, and I will love you for a very long time. I am honest with you, and I accept any decision you make."
After saying this, Jiang Molin seemed even more nervous, with a hint of panic in his eyes, and his fingers kept rubbing against each other.
Standing in front of Lin Xingyu, as if waiting for her verdict.
Lin Xingyu felt a different kind of heartache.
She choked up a bit and said, "How could you be so stupid? You didn't give any hints for all these years. If it weren't for that accident, we would have missed it. Idiot."
Lin Xingyu threw herself towards Jiang Molin crying.
Jiang Molin quickly caught it and held it in his arms, "Don't cry, don't cry, Xingxing, you can decide anything for me now, I'm ready. I won't use this to threaten you."
