As Ye Wenyu pondered, her nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears because of Cai Wenchuan's kindness to her. She looked at the gloomy sky outside; it was a cold winter night. But thinking about Cai Wenchuan's thoughtful care and sacrifices for her, she felt as warm as if she were nestled by a fireplace.
Zhang Susu continued to ask her, "Xiaoyu, it's winter vacation now. Do you want to come back? Well, if you want to come back, well, I'll go talk to your Uncle Wang. I think—" Her tone changed subtly, revealing her worry and nervousness.
Ye Wenyu is a smart child. She knows that if she suggests going home, she will immediately put her mother in an unjust position. She will muster up the courage to talk to her stepfather for her sake. However, because the house is small and her stepfather's two children are on winter vacation, there is not enough room for them to stay, and the two of them will have an argument.
Why make your mother sad?
Therefore, Ye Wenyu smiled slightly and said to Zhang Susu in a very sensible way, "Mom, I miss you very much and I want to come back, but I can't go home. I have to study and I have to work to earn money, so I won't come back."
Sure enough, Zhang Susu breathed a sigh of relief and said to her with some guilt, "When I have time, Mom will come to visit you at school." She then asked with concern, "Will the school dormitory allow you to continue living there?"
"They're letting us stay; some international students aren't going back to their home countries."
Is it safe?
"It's very safe, there's a dormitory supervisor on duty every day."
Ye Wenyu answered her mother's questions haphazardly, because she didn't want her to go home. So her concern always seemed like oil on the surface of water, unable to penetrate her heart. She thought to herself, her mother is too busy. When a woman reaches middle age, it seems like she has endless things to do. All her time is occupied by various trivial matters in life. She appreciates her mother's intention to come see her, but she doesn't care whether her mother can actually come or not.
Her mother's love for her had reached the point where she was so tolerant that she judged her actions by her heart.
Finally, the mother and daughter said goodbye and hung up the phone. The next day, Ye Wenyu went out to look for a job again.
On the third day, Ye Wenyu finally found a job, and then started working part-time while looking for a second job. She still ate and lived at the school so that she could save every penny. Fortunately, Q University is the most famous university in the country and a comprehensive key university. Many international students do not go home, so several canteens at Q University are still open.
Every time Ye Wenyu eats in the cafeteria, she smiles when she sees the empty cafeteria. Now, even if she only orders a vegetarian dish, she doesn't have to worry about anyone laughing at her. Therefore, the university during the holidays is like a ghost town, with no one at all.
Ye Wenyu is like a weed that takes root and sprouts in the cracks of a rock. No matter how bitter or difficult it is, she is always strong and optimistic. Her past life experience tells her that entrusting one's life to others and relying on others for one's entire life is like a flower in a greenhouse, sheltering from the wind and rain under a glass cover. Once she is in the real storm, she will surely die. Only by relying on oneself and being in the midst of a storm can one become stronger and stronger!
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was the day of the Little New Year.
That day, Ye Wenyu returned from working outside. It was already dark, and it was pitch black outside. The temperature must have been below zero. Her hands were frozen like carrots and had lost all feeling.
Not only my hands, but my whole body was so cold that I lost all feeling. My face looked like it was sculpted from snow, radiating cold air from the inside out. It was sure to snow tonight; this was definitely the coldest day of the winter.
Her mood suddenly soured. All the strength and optimism she had painstakingly maintained crumbled like an avalanche. Because today was her birthday!
She walked slowly down the dimly lit corridor towards her dormitory, tears welling in her eyes, ready to spill at any moment. The dormitory supervisor gave her a strange look and kindly reminded her, "Today is the Little New Year, and the Lunar New Year is just a few days away. Aren't you going home?"
Ye Wenyu forced a smile and continued walking towards her dormitory. The girls' dormitory was dark and quiet during the holidays, like a tomb that never sees the light of day.
She finally reached the dormitory door, her fingers trembling as she took out her key. For some reason, she inserted the key into the lock and turned it countless times, but the door just wouldn't open. She finally broke down, slid to the floor, and started crying. She thought that in this freezing weather, even the door was bullying her. Today was her birthday, her eighteenth birthday, but she couldn't even get into the dormitory!
It was because she was so pitiful and lonely that she went astray after meeting Lin Tingfeng in her previous life.
Tears streaming down her face, she recalled her past life once more.
That evening, Lin Tingfeng drove his unassuming Hyundai to take Ye Wenyu back to school, all the way to her dormitory. He then took all the shopping bags out of the trunk for her before gently saying, "Alright, I'll come see you again when I have time."
Ye Wenyu stood in front of him. He was very tall, and standing next to him, she looked particularly petite, like a little white rabbit in front of an elephant. But she liked this feeling. They had only been officially together for a day, and now they were separated again. She immediately felt reluctant to part.
When she was young, her body seemed to have a kind of thirst, a longing to be close to the person she liked. She knew she liked to press her face against his back, bury her face in his chest, smell his scent, and listen to his heartbeat.
I wish these days of companionship could last forever.
It was early summer, and the night was incredibly beautiful. A crescent moon hung overhead, like an eyebrow, and the sky was a deep blue velvet, studded with a few stars that sparkled like diamonds, playfully winking above them.
Seeing such a beautiful night scene, Ye Wenyu was somewhat surprised. She thought to herself, how many years had it been since she looked up at the starry sky? How long had it been since she had seen the stars? Because before this, she had been struggling desperately to survive, and she had been persevering in the cruel life with her head down and back bent.
The reason I found the night so beautiful tonight, with stars twinkling overhead, was simply because of him. It was Lin Tingfeng who pulled me out of a life of hardship, like rescuing a drowning person, allowing me to enjoy the beauty and leisure of youth like a normal college student.
She looked up, her large, clear eyes, like autumn water, looking gratefully at Lin Tingfeng. He stood in front of her, looking down at her with a slight smile on his face and a particularly gentle expression. He was wearing a loose black T-shirt, but because of his well-developed muscles, the T-shirt actually looked a bit tight, showing off his strong physique.
I never realized he was so sexy.
Ye Wenyu's eyes welled up with tears. Well, her face flushed, she thought, actually, putting everything else aside, his physical appearance alone was fatally attractive to her. When she couldn't see him, she missed him terribly; when she saw him, she was happy. She wanted to be intimate with him, to sleep next to him, to have him kiss her, to hold her in his arms—
