Chapter 44 Lin the Crybaby
Lu Xingche smiled, looked down at Lin Yihuan, and said gently, "Then you won't run away, okay..."
Lin Yihuan's heart raced after just one glance. She pouted and turned her face away, refusing to look at him. She said in a muffled voice, "I, I didn't run away. I didn't run away. I just came to find you..." Her voice grew softer and softer until Lu Xingche could barely hear her.
"Oh, so you didn't run away, then I must have been seeing things. I just saw a little girl who looks exactly like you, looking around and then about to run away. I thought it was our class monitor. I knew our class monitor wouldn't do that, right..." Lu Xingche said with a serious smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, can you let go of me now?" Lin Yihuan asked, her lips pressed tightly together as she looked at him.
Lu Xingche lowered his eyes, smiled gently, and slowly released her, picking up her small schoolbag and saying earnestly, "I was just afraid you'd run away..."
Lin Yihuan stomped her foot. "Who is this person? Why are they running? Where are they going? Do they even dare to run?!"
Lu Xingche walked for a while, and seeing that the little girl hadn't followed, he reached out and grabbed her wrist. Lin Yihuan stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered. Lu Xingche coughed lightly and said, "Stay close to me, or you'll get lost..."
The two chatted casually along the way, with Lu Xingche holding Lin Yihuan's wrist tightly the whole time, making Lin Yihuan's cheeks blush and look very cute.
Lu Xingche suddenly stopped, as if something had occurred to him. Lin Yihuan, who was walking with her head down, bumped into him without warning.
Lin Yihuan rubbed her red nose with a wronged expression, her eyes brimming with tears, and said softly, "Why did you stop...?"
Lu Xingche turned around and saw this scene, and his heart almost clenched.
Lu Xingche frowned, his face full of concern, and quickly asked, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you...?"
Lin Yihuan pouted. The more gentle he was, the more upset she felt. Her heart ached slightly, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her mind was filled with the scene at the hospital. Her heart couldn't stop throbbing, and the emotions that had been building up for a week finally exploded. Tears streamed down her face...
Looking at Lin Yihuan's tear-streaked face, Lu Xingche felt a pang of heartache. He quickly took out tissues to wipe her tears, gently patted her back, and whispered soothingly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't cry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have stopped. Please listen to me and don't cry anymore, okay? Your eyes will be swollen and you won't look pretty..."
Hearing his voice, Lin Yihuan felt increasingly wronged. Several times she wanted to ask him, but the words stuck in her throat. She simply didn't have the courage to ask...
Lu Xingche made her sit on a small chair by the roadside, half-squatting beside her, and gently coaxed her for a while before Lin Yihuan stopped crying. Lin Yihuan sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "I... I don't want to tutor you today, just let me go home..."
Lu Xingche lowered his eyes slightly, feeling flustered. He had a feeling that if he really let her leave and go home, the two of them would never cross paths again.
Lu Xingche sighed, took out three strawberry-flavored candies from his pocket, and handed them to her, saying in a childish voice, "Xiao Huanhuan, I'm sorry, could you come with me to the hospital for a follow-up check-up today..." He reached out and tucked her stray hairs behind her ear, the movement very natural.
Lin Yihuan thought for a moment, took the candy from him, nodded, and said softly with a sob in her voice, "Okay."
Lu Xingche reached out and ruffled her fragrant hair, saying, "Did you go to the hospital last week...?"
