Chapter 39: Spring Returns Late (End of Text)
"She had an accident afterwards. When the police found her, her body was covered in bruises and blood. She had suffered vicious violence before her death. She died in my arms."
Lin Xu's eyes were deep. That scene became a dark moment during that period, and he dreamed about it almost every night.
So he always thought in his heart that if he could do it again, he would choose to keep his distance from Lin Pianpian.
"It's not entirely your fault."
Fu Yin's heart tightened. Seeing his guilty look, the emotion in his eyes also fell a little.
No one could have imagined that something like this would happen. Xu Ning's imposition of these faults on him undoubtedly put pressure on him.
He was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, and he felt more helpless and panicked when facing death.
But when she met him for the first time, he was as handsome and bright as the bright moon in the sky, and his smile was like the warm sun in the cold winter, lighting up her world.
Before she met Lin Xu, she always felt that she was unfortunate, but after meeting Lin Xu, she realized that there could be so much warmth in life.
Lin Xu showed her a different world, and she was no longer the nemesis that everyone talked about.
After going to the welfare home, she never saw her family again. Her relatives disliked her and never contacted her.
But after she came to the Lin family, the relatives in the family didn't know where they got the news from, and they all thought she was lucky to have married into a wealthy family, and they all came to her to collect debts.
If it weren't for Lin Xu at that time, she didn't know how long she would have been harassed by those people.
To her, Lin Xu was not just the roof that sheltered her, but the entire starry sky that illuminated her.
"So Xu Ning took me in before because I look like Pian Pian?"
A few tears flashed in Fu Yin's eyes and his voice became hoarse.
Lin Xu nodded softly.
Not long after Lin Pianpian passed away, Xu Ning went crazy, but she acted like nothing happened in front of everyone.
She disguised herself very well, but only Lin Xu knew that she had already become ill.
Xu Ning burned everything related to Lin Pianpian overnight, leaving only a few photos, which were hidden in the interlayer of the photo album.
More than once he woke up at night and heard Xu Ning crying secretly, and when Xu Ning saw him, he would speak harshly to him and instill in him the idea that he was a murderer.
After listening for a long time, he accepted it and stopped resisting.
"Yin Yin, I distanced myself from you before because I was afraid."
"I'm afraid you'll be like Pianpian."
"I had an agreement with Xu Ning before. She has acute bipolar disorder. The doctor said she could lose control and hurt others. In order to stabilize her mood, I can only keep my distance from you."
"Besides, we are brother and sister in the eyes of outsiders."
"But I found that my feelings for you have long gone beyond the feelings between family members. What I want is to be with you."
Lin Xu frowned, and his eyes darkened a little.
He has been taking medicine to calm down in recent years because his hands shake whenever he thinks about these things.
He went to see a psychologist, but it didn't help. Instead, he felt at ease being with Fu Yin.
Before, Xu Nianbai joked that Fu Yin was his antidote because she was always like the sun.
"Lin Xu, these things have never been your fault, why didn't you tell me?"
"Do you know how cold that snowy night five years ago was?"
She stood alone at the station entrance, the cold wind blowing through her thin dress felt like an ice hammer piercing her bones. Her hands were all frozen red, and she rubbed them desperately while waiting for his reply.
But all I got in return was silence.
When she finally saw Xu Nianbai and Jiang Qian at the station, she realized that she was the last person to know that he was going abroad.
He even left so abruptly.
She didn't want him to do this in the name of doing it for her own good, she could face it with him.
"sorry."
"In the past five years, I have come back to see you every year, but always secretly."
Lin Xu raised the corners of his mouth, it was funny when he thought about it.
He often went to her school to see her, two or three times a year, just to know if she was doing well in school.
"So when I was in college, I kept receiving things for no apparent reason. Were they from you?"
Fu Yin recalled that when he was in college, there would always be a few days a month when he would receive food and daily necessities.
When she was on her period, she received brown sugar ginger tea and a hot pack. Her roommates even teased her about whether she was in love.
But she had many suitors when she was in college, and every time she sent him a gift, there was no signature on it, so she thought it was from one of her suitors.
"I seem to have seen you being confessed to by male classmates a few times."
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a soft tone.
Fu Yin blinked her eyelashes, scratched her head, and tried hard to recall what had happened before.
When she was in college, there was a forum where her roommate secretly took a few photos of her and posted them on the wall, which attracted a lot of attention.
As a result, the next day, boys from different departments came to her elective class and surrounded her. She still can't forget the scene that day.
"I was also in the elective class that day."
Lin Xu lowered his eyes and looked at her.
He sat in the corner that day, appearing calm but actually very restless. He missed his flight back home and lost a large order worth tens of millions. He had to work an extra half month to solicit investment when he got home.
"I don't even know..."
It turns out that he was also involved in her college life.
"It's okay. I told you before that I will always be with you, no matter where you are."
"To be honest, I'm quite jealous. Our Yinyin is so popular that my brother doesn't know what to do."
Seeing that her eyes were red, Lin Xu raised his hand and wiped the two tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
"Then did you also know that I kissed you secretly five years ago?"
"Yeah, I know."
It was because he knew that he kissed back.
"So since then you have..."
“Earlier.”
Fu Yin was stunned for a few seconds, then threw herself into the man's arms and hugged him tightly.
"I actually saw the medicine in your bedside drawer."
"I really don't know what you've endured over the years, but if it weren't for the Lin family, we might never have met."
"I was very conflicted. When I wanted to escape from the Lin family, the first person I thought of was you, because I was afraid that I would never see you again."
Fu Yin's voice gradually choked, and tears fell unconsciously as he spoke.
Lin Xuqing hugged her and coaxed her gently: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Even if you don't come to see me, I will go to see you."
"I want to run towards you, because you are my sun."
She is his sun and he is her spring.
Although I come back late, the warmth is still there.

The author has something to say:
[Come on][Come on][Come on]
My dears, the main text ends here. The subsequent stories will be put in the extra chapters. Thank you for reading this. In the beginning, I only conceived the characters and basic story, so there are many imperfections. In fact, I feel that it is a defective product, but I tried my best to give Ah Xu and Yin Yin the best ending.
The sequel shouldn't be too long, maybe around 10,000-20,000 words. Thanks again to everyone who supported this book~ [shy]
