The village is exceptionally quiet at night, with only the croaking of frogs and the sound of flowing water in the stream.
Tang Le was also not sleepy. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the broken and chipped tiles above his head. The two children were lying beside him, sleeping close to each other.
His mind was full of Lin Sheng. He began to recall the moment he stepped into this village and met the little Lin Sheng.
Tang Le was a few years older than Lin Sheng, who was only a teenager at the time. When he first arrived, no one in the village looked down on him as a foreigner, and some villagers were even quite xenophobic.
A young man, with two babies who were less than one year old, was seen by everyone at first as a novelty, and they all came to him to ask questions just to join in the fun. Except for Lin Sheng, no one else really wanted to help him.
Although Lin Sheng was not living a good life at that time, when he saw Tang Le who was in the same difficulty, he would lend a helping hand and help take care of him.
It was from that time that Tang Le was slowly moved by Lin Sheng. He began to secretly pay attention to his every move, helping him behind the scenes, and often doing good deeds without leaving his name.
The two helped each other, and over time, the relationship between the two families became more harmonious. However, Tang Le always kept his love for Lin Sheng deep in his heart and never told anyone else.
Lin Sheng never noticed it until that day when Tang Le confessed his feelings to him. He then realized that he had been in love with him for a long time and felt unprecedented surprise.
Lin Sheng stood under the tree, his eyes a little confused.
He had also heard love stories in vernacular novels and knew some descriptions of feelings.
But when it really happened to him, Lin Sheng couldn't figure it out. He kept asking himself in his heart, do I like Tang Le?
After all these years, it would be a lie to say that Lin Sheng had no feelings for Tang Le. However, could this feeling be considered love?
Lin Sheng thought about it over and over again but couldn't find a solution. Feeling a little tired, he prepared to go back to his room to rest. Halfway there, he saw Lin Mo and Su Mu, kissing passionately again.
Lin Sheng stood there blankly for a long time, his face flushed and slightly hot.
In his heart, he envied Su Mu and Lin Mo. Their love was a two-way journey. Lin Mo could ignore the world's perspective and insist on marrying Su Mu wholeheartedly. Su Mu also followed Lin Mo wholeheartedly, and they would be together for the rest of their lives.
Lin Sheng also hopes in his heart that one day, someone will overcome all difficulties and walk towards him firmly.
Lin Sheng looked at the young couple in front of him, smiled calmly, and quietly returned to the room from the other side. He didn't want to disturb their interest.
next day
Lin Sheng went to the fields to pick vegetables, and on his way home, he met Tang Le. Tang Le silently took the basket from him, and the two walked side by side.
After a long while, Tang Le spoke awkwardly, "I heard that early yesterday morning, the elders from your old house came over to propose marriage for you."
Tang Le paused, and said with difficulty: "Do you agree?"
Lin Sheng simply said, "No."
Suddenly, Tang Le's heart was filled with joy, and the gloom on his face disappeared. He walked faster and faster, and finally, after several miles, he realized that Lin Sheng hadn't caught up with him, so he turned back.
Seeing the bright smile on his face, as happy as a child, Lin Sheng couldn't help but smile along.
For the next few days, Tang Le helped Lin Mo with his work and ate at Lin Mo's house. Whenever he had some free time, Tang Le would come over to help Lin Sheng with some housework.
Lin Mo would secretly observe the interaction between the two from time to time.
Strangely enough, ever since Lin Mo went to see Tang Le that day, Tang Le had indeed been coming to the Lin family's house more frequently than before. However, the progress between Lin Sheng and Tang Le remained the same as before, with no movement at all.
Although the two of them were very harmonious, Lin Mo could see that there was always a distance between his elder brother and Tang Le.
No one took the crucial step. Although the two of them interacted with each other frequently, they kept a distance from each other intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Mu saw Lin Mo staring at the two people in the yard, lost in thought, and asked doubtfully, "Are you still thinking about your elder brother?"
Lin Mo nodded slightly, and a cold voice rang out: "Mu Mu, what do you think Big Brother is waiting for? Is he waiting for Tang Le's decision?"
Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "When two people truly love each other, their feelings for each other must be mutual. If they like each other, then the other person will definitely feel it."
After saying that, Su Mu took the initiative to hold Lin Mo's hand, holding their fingers tightly.
The wedding date is getting closer, and these few days are the busiest time for the entire Lin family.
Su Mu had already drawn the layout of the wedding venue the day before, but some decorations were still missing. Lin Wu decided to go to the town with Fu Yanzhi to get all the necessary items.
Lin Mo, Su Yunxia, Tang Jie and others helped measure the size of the materials used in the venue and the placement of some decorations.
After repeated marking and confirmation, Lin Mo asked Tang Jie to take a few villagers up the mountain to bring back all the needed wood and process it first.
Su Mu communicated with Lin Wu and the others about which shops could buy everything they needed.
As the train was about to depart, Lin Sheng stopped Lin Wu. Coincidentally, he also wanted to go to the town to buy some things, so he invited them to give him a ride.
Tang Le stared at Lin Sheng getting on the carriage, looking reluctant to let her go. He didn't go back until the carriage was out of sight.
Lin Mo took in the entire scene with a very indifferent expression.
When Su Mu saw Lin Mo standing there, he knew that he was looking at his elder brother and Tang Le. He sorted out the things in his hands, clapped his hands, and walked towards Lin Mo.
He asked with concern, "Are you watching Big Brother and Big Brother Tang again? Did you find anything today?"
Seeing that it was Su Mu who came, Lin Mo smiled. He murmured back, "Tang Le is not worthy of Big Brother. In my heart, that's how it is."
Su Mu's face showed a little surprise. Lin Mo turned around and pinched the tip of his nose, then added vaguely.
"It's not because he's poor."
Su Mu understood. He knew that what Lin Mo was talking about was certainly not his family background.
"I know you're worried."
Lin Mo held Su Mu's hand and unconsciously poked his palm. Lin Mo only did this when he was thinking about something.
Su Mu tilted her head and looked at him with sidelong eyes, a mischievous expression on her face, her mouth pouting, her eyes blinking non-stop.
Lin Mo raised his blue finger and flicked Su Mu's forehead lightly. Su Mu's expression quickly retreated, and the expressions on his face were squeezed together.
"Oh! Lin Mo, you're not holding back."
Seeing Su Mu's expression of pain, Lin Mo felt even happier in his heart. The smile overflowed from his face, and he smiled happily and brilliantly.
