(311)
Lin Tingfeng returned very late, looking exhausted. However, he still politely ate dinner with her, not wanting to upset her. He prepared a table full of food, but he didn't eat any himself.
Ye Wenyu sat opposite him and saw that he ate very slowly, only tasting a little bit of each thing, and spending most of his time drinking water. His two long phoenix eyes, which usually shone like obsidian, were like drawn blinds or the eyes of a camel that was thirsty. She knew that he was indescribably tired.
So tired, yet still trying to eat.
She gently asked him, "Why did you only eat a little bit of each thing? Did I cook it badly?"
Lin Tingfeng opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and slowly said to her, "No, it's delicious, but I've already eaten out. I have too many social engagements, so I had no choice."
As he spoke, the scent of alcohol lingered, and Ye Wenyu knew he had drunk quite a bit that day. His weariness was truly profound, like the deep darkness of the night.
Touched, she gazed at him and softly asked, "You've already eaten, why are you eating again?"
Lin Tingfeng just smiled silently, his eyes drooping again, exhausted to the bone, beyond description.
Ye Wenyu asked him, "You look so tired. Did you not sleep at all last night because you were repairing the maternity certificate?"
Lin Tingfeng was so tired that he couldn't speak, he just nodded.
Ye Wenyu felt as if her body had instantly transformed into a water pipe, filled with warm liquid.
Her nose stung, her eyes reddened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Didn't I say I'd fix it after my final exams? Why did you go through all that trouble to fix it right away? You're usually so busy, you're not the type to do these kinds of trivial things."
Lin Tingfeng opened his eyes, looked at her, and slowly said, "Because you said they are very important to you."
Ye Wenyu was stunned and could no longer say anything. She suddenly stood up, quickly walked to him, bent down, lowered her head, and took the initiative to find his lips and kiss him.
Lin Tingfeng was originally very tired, but when the girl's soft, jelly-like lips touched his lips, he woke up. With the soft, fragrant body in his arms and the effects of the alcohol, he could no longer control himself.
He returned her kiss and murmured, "Are you willing now too?"
Ye Wenyu gave a soft "hmm" in agreement, then kissed him even more passionately. Lin Tingfeng then carried her into the room.
The two went from superficially living together to officially living together in real life, and she finally became his woman.
Ye Wenyu pulled her thoughts, which had been drifting away like a kite, back to the reality of this life. She thought that Lin Tingfeng should have recovered and been discharged from the hospital by now. To avoid getting too entangled with him, after accompanying him to the hospital for his surgery and giving his statement to the police, she never went to the hospital again or contacted Lin Tingfeng again.
Time passed day by day, years flowed by, and winter arrived in the blink of an eye.
However, she thought to herself that when she left, she saw a large group of people, including his doctor, lawyer, driver, butler, employees, and friends, who looked like an army. She was sure that many people were taking care of him and protecting him, so she didn't need to worry about him.
She pondered that the reason he was ambushed and nearly died on the street before must have been because he wasn't on guard. Now that he'd learned his lesson, he would surely be safe in the future. He was such a smart and meticulous person; in this world, he was always the one dealing with others, never the one being bullied.
Although she tried to comfort herself, she still felt a lingering unease in her heart, constantly thinking about Lin Tingfeng.
She was still busy studying and working. It was almost the end of her first semester of sophomore year. The weather was getting colder and colder. The north wind howled like a knife all day long. Snowflakes would occasionally fall from the sky. Sometimes the roads would be icy and frosty in the early morning. Wearing thick clothes, she looked like a bear walking on the road. Another winter had arrived.
Because of financial pressure, she couldn't afford new clothes, so she put on the Canada Goose jacket that Cai Wenchuan had given her again. But even though she felt warm, her heart was cold when she thought about Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue's past. Her chest felt like it was filled with withered leaves.
That day, the sky was overcast, and the north wind howled, threatening snow at any moment. Ye Wenyu hurried along the road, her breath coming in gasps. Her hands and ears were red and swollen from the cold air, almost like carrots, and looked like they were about to fall off. Because of the cold weather, there were hardly any people on the road. She was walking back to school. She had just gotten off the bus when the sky turned pitch black. There were no streetlights nearby, and hardly any pedestrians on the street, which made her a little scared. As the end of the year approached, many desperate thugs would think of taking risks to make a quick buck. A young, single girl like her walking alone at night was an easy target for criminals. Unfortunately, she might actually be poorer than the criminals, but when they made their move, they wouldn't think about her true appearance, so it was still very dangerous.
As Ye Wenyu pondered this, she quickened her pace. However, what she feared most often came to pass. She felt a stranger with dyed blond hair following her, moving at a leisurely pace, like a tail. He moved faster when she was fast and slower when she was slow. Ye Wenyu became even more frightened and nervously looked up, hoping that some passersby would appear on the road.
She thought to herself that this was truly the winter of her life. She couldn't find anyone who loved her, and with the end of the year approaching, she still owed 20,000 yuan of the 50,000 yuan she borrowed from Jiebei. The thought that if she couldn't pay off the online loan, the interest would snowball and compound, made her heart burn with anxiety. She worked even harder, preparing for her final exams while also finding a part-time job in the evenings.
This part-time job at night forced her to return to school late at night, unnecessarily adding many risks to her life.
Just as he was filled with immense fear, he felt a huge beam of light shoot out from behind, and the road in front of him became brightly lit, turning the night into day. The blond-haired man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked into another alley, no longer following Ye Wenyu.
Ye Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly grateful for the beam of light that seemed to come from outer space. She naturally knew that the light was due to the headlights of a car approaching from behind, and that it must have been a rather expensive car, otherwise the light wouldn't have been so bright, so intense, and so widely radiating.
Strangely, the car seemed to be moving very slowly, following Ye Wenyu like a snail until she safely arrived at the school gate.
I will ensure her safety throughout the journey.
