(616)
Ye Wenyu thought that she had been out for a day, so she stopped and said to Lin Tingfeng, "Then I'll go back. I'll call you again when I get the results in a month. I'll come with you. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
At this moment, the slanting sunlight shines through the leaves and falls to the ground like shattered silver.
The air was exceptionally fresh, and the surrounding scenery was as still as a series of old photographs, giving one the feeling that "time flows like a river, and life is like a fish."
Lin Tingfeng was still affected by the news of the hospital's follow-up examination. He thought about his life. From the moment he decided to take revenge and return to the Lin family, he had done many bad things. His hands were stained with hatred and blood. Perhaps getting a terminal illness was God's punishment for him.
Thinking about this, he felt a chill of fear. He looked at the girl in front of him, her beauty as vibrant as a flower in full bloom. He thought to himself, he had just witnessed happiness, and he didn't want to die. This was the moment he least wanted to die in his life.
Therefore, his expression darkened, and he said to Ye Wenyu in a hoarse voice, "Something might happen. I have a very bad feeling." His voice was extremely hoarse, as if his throat had just been rubbed by a steel wool pad.
He thought angrily, "Who doesn't want to be respected and loved throughout their life, have a warm home, and live an upright and decent life? Who doesn't want to be a good person?!"
Back then, he had no choice. Revenge and returning to the Lin family were his only options. Just like now, Lin Tingyue and the others want to deal with him, so he can only fight back. Otherwise, he will be devoured alive.
His life had always been like this, like walking on a tightrope with a bottomless abyss below. One wrong step and he would be shattered to pieces. Falling into the abyss wouldn't even be the end of his suffering; countless crocodiles lurked there, waiting for him.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep going, because there was no way back, and standing still meant certain death. Moving forward bravely and taking the initiative was better than the present situation.
Every day, I barely manage to keep going, hiding my exhaustion and weariness, acting as if nothing's wrong, and calmly facing everything.
So, perhaps even God couldn't bear to see him suffer, and decided to end his miserable life through a terminal illness.
Who knows? Thinking of this, Lin Tingfeng felt as heavy as if his heart were filled with lead.
Sensing Lin Tingfeng's sudden low spirits, Ye Wenyu immediately reached out and grasped one of Lin Tingfeng's hands.
Lin Tingfeng froze, then looked up with lightning speed, the temperature of his palms suddenly rising several degrees.
Ye Wenyu's small, palm-sized face turned bright red. At that moment, the sunlight shone like diamonds, and she stood in that radiance, appearing beautiful and holy.
Lin Tingfeng smiled, his eyes growing increasingly warm.
Ye Wenyu's face turned even redder, almost as red as a bride's veil.
But she still held his hand and said to him, "Tingfeng, everything will be alright. Ever since I met you, you've always been so good to me. Because of how good you've been to me and how many good things you've done, you'll be fine." In her heart, she thought, "I will do everything in my power to prevent you from becoming completely disillusioned with the world and going on a breakdown."
Lin Tingfeng was stunned, a warm current flowing through his heart. He recalled every little thing he had done with Ye Wenyu since they met, and his heart warmed. Because of the beautiful moments he remembered, his heart was no longer so cold and painful. Therefore, his expression was no longer cold and ruthless. He smiled and said, "I hope so. I hope you can say so."
The camellias smelled wonderful, their fragrance like a light veil surrounding him. Lin Tingfeng sniffed and squinted in the bright sunlight.
Ye Wenyu smiled and said, "Then I'll go back." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute." Lin Tingfeng called out to her. Ye Wenyu turned around, smiled at him, and waited for him to speak.
A faint sweet scent filled the air. Several sparrows flew in from somewhere, chirping happily.
For some reason, when Lin Tingfeng saw Ye Wenyu's smile blooming like a flower, he was suddenly moved and felt that God had not treated him unfairly. Therefore, he composed himself and said to her, "Could you do me another favor—" His heart was beating a little faster. Well, it was always others who asked him for favors, and he rarely asked others for favors.
But he insisted on asking her today because he knew how much he needed her.
"What?" Ye Wenyu took a step forward, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Tingfeng, remembering his mother's illness, said softly to her, "My mother suffered from mental illness when I was little. It had intermittent episodes; during these episodes, she would become unrecognizable and would attack people like a madwoman. This incident has been too much of a shock for her, and I'm worried her mental illness will relapse. Could you accompany me to take my mother for a medical checkup? She's been behaving strangely at home, and I'm very worried—"
"I see," Ye Wenyu smiled and looked at the sky.
Lin Tingfeng's heart sank. He thought that she had accompanied him for so long, but instead of being grateful, he continued to trouble her. She would most likely refuse.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wenyu smiled and said, "Okay, but it will be quite dark by the time I get home, so I'll have to trouble you to take me home then."
"Okay, definitely." Lin Tingfeng couldn't have been happier. Seeing Ye Wenyu agree, he was both surprised and delighted, and extremely moved.
So, Lin Tingfeng drove Ye Wenyu back to the Lin family's old house to pick up his mother, and then the three of them went to the hospital together.
Ye Wenyu couldn't remember how long it had been since she last saw Lin Tingfeng's mother. In both her past and present lives, the two had met only a few times.
In short, the opportunities to meet were few and far between, always very few.
She remembered that in her past life, her mother always opposed Lin Tingfeng's relationship with her, and in this life, the old lady would definitely be very opposed as well.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu was always somewhat uneasy about meeting Zhang Xiaohong.
When Lin Tingfeng's mother, Zhang Xiaohong, got into the car, she respectfully and reservedly greeted her, "Auntie—"
Zhang Xiaohong didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and sat in the car, motionless like a piece of wood.
The air seemed to freeze, and the carriage felt like a tomb. Ye Wenyu didn't dare to breathe. Soon, due to excessive tension, her back began to sweat.
Lin Tingfeng was driving, and Ye Wenyu was sitting next to Zhang Xiaohong. She could tell that something was wrong with the old man.
In her memory, although Zhang Xiaohong was old, she was rich and kept getting cosmetic procedures and buying all kinds of high-end skin care products. As the saying goes, money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can keep a woman young forever. So Zhang Xiaohong was very old, but she looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties.
This is Zhang Xiaohong as Ye Wenyu remembers her. Although she wasn't as alluring as Master Lin's concubine, she was still dignified, beautiful, and elegant.
