On the way back to school.
Lin Wanting followed Long Aotian obediently.
"elder brother."
Long Aotian stopped and looked at Lin Manning who was calling him: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel super happy today. I was smiling even when I was walking. Last time, you said I was looking at my phone while walking. You should pay attention too, because we have to cross the road soon."
"It's my fault. I made the sister worry about me." Long Aotian smiled. He was indeed a little happy today. Even the feeling when he spoke was different.
"So brother and Yuying are really together." Lin Wanning asked softly.
Long Aotian looked at Lin Wanting with her eyes lowered, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
As time went by and they got to know each other better, the incident of Lin Wanting confessing her love to her seemed to have been forgotten deep in her memory.
Seeing Lin Wanting like this, Long Aotian nodded and said, "Well, she is very important in my heart."
"so......"
Lin Wan Ning heard what she wanted to hear, and a smile also appeared on her cold and beautiful face: "Brother, I respect you."
"You said that as long as I still call you brother, you will protect me. Wan Ning really remembered this sentence in her heart, so you are still my brother."
Long Aotian looked at the sincere smile on Lin Wanting's face and her clear eyes, and tapped her forehead with his fingertips: "It's always counted. The best thing about me, your brother, is that I always keep my word."
"Thank you, brother." Lin Wan Ning turned around and faced Long Aotian: "It's great to have a brother."
The iceberg melted and the snow lotus bloomed. At this moment, Lin Wanning conveyed her happiness to Long Aotian.
"Silly girl, just watch out for the road." Long Aotian said with a smile.
"Brother, would you like to hear my story?"
“I’ll listen to whatever you say.” In the original novel, Lin Wanting’s past was only mentioned briefly without any detailed description. Long Aotian also wanted to know what kind of story was in that life that was only mentioned briefly.
Lin Manning put her hands behind her back and walked playfully beside Long Aotian: "Where should I start? Let's start from when I was a child."
Lin Manning's tone was very relaxed, as if she was really telling a story.
"My parents separated when I was very young. My father didn't want me, and my mother left me at my grandparents' house and didn't come back for a very long time."
"In fact, Wan Ning used to love to laugh. My teachers and grandparents all praised my beautiful voice and said I could definitely be a singer in the future."
"Without dad and mom not coming back, Wan Ning didn't feel sad because grandpa and grandma gave all their love to Wan Ning, so Wan Ning was happy at that time."
When she said this, the happiness in Lin Manning's eyes was so pure...
"But when Wan Ning was seven years old, my mother came back and found another family in the city. She took me away from my grandparents."
"At that time, Wan Ning was still young. She came to a strange city, a strange 'home' and had to call a strange man dad..."
Although Lin Wanting was still smiling, this smile was different, and Long Aotian could feel it.
Long Aotian gently touched Lin Wanning's long hair. He didn't say anything, but tried his best to transfer the power to her.
"Brother, do you think that man is not good to me?"
"No, he was very nice to me."
"Until I had a brother."
"I like my brother, but that man doesn't believe it. Even my biological mother doesn't believe it."
At this point, Lin Wan Ning looked at Long Ao Tian and said, "Brother, why can a person become a completely different person in the blink of an eye?"
"But I am still grateful to them in my heart because they allowed me to go to the music school that I loved since I was a child."
"But sometimes I would feel sad secretly, and at that time I would think, how nice it would be if I had a brother, so that I would become the one who needs to be protected..."
Lin Wan Ning chuckled after she finished speaking: "Fortunately, I have a brother now."
The story is short, just a few sentences, but it changes a person's life.
At the beginning, even though her parents were not around, Wan Ning was happy.
In the end, she had a strange father and her mother returned to Wan Ning, but she was no longer happy.
A person who loved to laugh so much gradually became cold and aloof.
Long Aotian knew that these words were not enough to summarize her life after the age of seven. Perhaps it was not as easy to accept as she described it, or perhaps she didn't want him to worry...
Because, this cannot be summed up in just a few words...
“You are strong.”
When Lin Wan Ning heard these four words, she pursed her lips and smiled. As she smiled, her eyes turned red. The teardrop mole at the corner of her eye looked particularly gentle under the blush: "Don't you think I'm relying on you?"
Long Aotian smiled and raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
If it's wiped off, it's gone. As long as it hasn't flowed down, she won't be sad...
"Everyone has unhappy times. If you can't get out of it, I will pull you out."
He used his palm to smooth out Lin Wanting's long hair which had just been messed up by him.
"Don't dwell on the past, don't hesitate about the future, don't make it hard on yourself. This is not your problem. You are already excellent and great. If I were in your place, I might not be better than you. You are really already very good."
“I can’t hold an umbrella for you in your heart, nor can I truly empathize with you, but I can be your loyal listener and help you digest some of your stress and unhappiness.”
