"Why... did you come back?" I stood there in a daze... I felt like something was choking my throat... It took me a long time to slowly utter these words... My eyes were fixed on Lin Mengxi, and my heart was very complicated... I was surprised by the unexpected reunion, but also mixed with many indescribable emotions.
Lin Mengxi still has that unforgettable oval face. Her big eyes are like a clear spring, clear and bright. Her facial lines are smooth and natural, and her chin is round and slightly pointed, revealing a perfect softness.
She was wearing a short beige down jacket and a brown maxi skirt, giving her an exceptionally elegant demeanor. She was staring at me silently, clutching a black bag with her suitcase beside her. Her lips pursed slightly, but she remained silent, her eyes revealing a thousand words.
Xu Qian was behind her and helplessly spread her hands towards me.
Zhu Wei looked at the dull and depressing atmosphere and coughed twice, trying to break it. He smiled at Lin Mengxi and said, "How about eating first?"
Lin Mengxi shook her head and said to them, "Xu Xi, Zhu Wei... I'll take my things. Thank you for keeping them for me." After that, she reached out and took the suitcase, and walked straight out the door. She didn't look at me again from beginning to end... She didn't stop until she was shoulder to shoulder with me.
I subconsciously pulled her arm gently.
Lin Mengxi then turned her head and looked at me, and said in a flat tone: "What's the matter?"
I didn't know what to say for a moment. My mind was in a mess. I opened my mouth, but she just stared at me. I held it in for a long time, and finally said, "I'll take you there."
Lin Mengxi listened to what I said...first she put down the suitcase, then reached out and took my hand...as if she didn't want to have too much contact with me, and then continued to walk out.
Seeing this, I hurried forward to help her carry the suitcase and followed closely behind her.. and behind me I heard Zhu Wei's helpless sigh..
After getting on the elevator... Lin Mengxi stood there, looking at the door... without saying a word.
After exiting the elevator, I quietly asked, "Where to?"
Lin Mengxi didn't turn around, but just said: "Go to school and take a look... then go home."
"Okay, I'll take you home." I quickly responded... thinking to myself... it would be nice even if we just walked silently for a while.
…
We drove to the school. I walked slowly with Lin Mengxi. She seemed to have changed. She wasn't as lively and cheerful as before. Maybe it was because of her mood.
We unknowingly walked to the corner by the lake where I used to sing to her... Lin Mengxi walked there and slowly sat down, staring blankly at the lake... I don't know what she was thinking.
I put some distance between us and sat down slowly. After a while, I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back now?"
Lin Mengxi slowly said, "Are you going to let me die abroad?"
I was speechless and changed the subject, saying, "Is Liu Zhiyang good to you?"
Lin Mengxi was stunned at first, then looked at me with a strange look... lowered her head... and played with her fingers.
When I saw her like this, I wondered if Liu Zhiyang had really bullied her, and I got a little angry and said, "Did he treat you badly? Damn it, let's go... I'm going to fight him for my life." Then I stood up and prepared to take her to find that idiot to fight for her life.
Lin Mengxi hit my hand... frowned, and said angrily, "Sit down... You want to fight again? You haven't suffered enough that time, right? Be more careful next time. Fighting can get you into trouble. Don't make yourself like a little hooligan in society... I don't like it."
I sat down slowly and muttered, "I just can't bear to see you being bullied..."
"You're such a clueless guy... I have nothing to do with Liu Zhiyang. This must be something my parents made up to trick you." After saying this, Lin Mengxi sighed deeply and turned to look at the lake again, her eyes filled with melancholy. After a while, she said again, "You're so fast... I can't even react... Although I know it's not your fault."
After I heard what she said... I knew in my heart that there was nothing between her and Liu Zhiyang. It was just Lin Feng lying to me. I knew it a long time ago... But I insisted on thinking that this was the truth... I told myself in my heart that this was the truth so that I could forget her as soon as possible...
I also knew that her parents' obstruction seemed to create an insurmountable gap between us. So at that time, I didn't want to waste any more time. I just wanted to get over it as soon as possible. Because I felt that it was really difficult for us to have a good outcome. Should I let Lin Mengxi elope with me? Regardless of whether she was willing or not, even if she was, I wasn't that selfish.
Lin Mengxi stood up, forced a smile, and said, "I just arrived in Beijing and chose the nearest flight to Changsha. I originally wanted to see you earlier and give you a surprise... Who knew it would be like this." As she spoke... her tears flowed uncontrollably, but she still managed to say, "Let's go, Xiao Mu... No, Lin Yu, please take me home. I haven't seen my parents and brother yet." Her voice was choked with sobs, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
…
I asked, "Let me take you to dinner."
Lin Mengxi listened to what I said, but didn't respond. She just lowered her head slightly. I don't know what she was thinking...
