loving you carefully

Chapter 14 Ending Now I want to tell you

one year later.

"Nayuki, are you alright? Mom will be back soon after going out to buy vegetables!"

Father Lin Shengzhe's urging voice came from the living room, causing Lin Naixue in the kitchen to shake her hands, and almost squeezed the cream that was drawing patterns on the baked cake to the floor.

She held the cream container firmly again, and said loudly to the outside: "It will be ready soon, just wait a little longer."

Today is Yuan Jingyin's birthday, and it is also Lin Naixue's first birthday for her new mother after she and her father moved to a new home.She discussed it with her father and decided to surprise her mother.

Therefore, Lin Naixue deliberately named a dish that had no spare ingredients at home, and sent Yuan Jingyin away to buy vegetables.

Although Lei Yilie did not participate in this plan, he did not object to Lin Naixue and Lin Shengzhe's idea. Instead, he arranged it in the living room with Li Runcheng who came to help.

After decorating the living room with ribbons and bouquets, Lei Yilie looked at the almost furnished living room, and felt that there was nothing he could help here, so he walked to the kitchen door and watched Lin Naixue's back, It took a long time before he asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Hearing his voice, Lin Naixue's hand shook again.She quickly removed the cream cone from the cake and said lightly, "No need."

At this time, Li Runcheng came in with a pot of cut fruits, happily raised his voice to the kitchen and said, "Nayuki, look what I brought you, I think you may need this superior."

Lin Naixue's eyes lit up when she saw the fruit plate in his hand, and she said pleasantly: "Great, I just think that this cake seems to be missing something. With these fruits, it will be perfect. Mom will definitely like it!"

"It seems we're thinking the same thing."

Li Runcheng put down the fruit plate with a happy smile, and placed fruit on the cake with Naixue in a tacit understanding.

Standing at the door, Lei Yilie saw Lin Naixue and Li Runcheng cooperating so tacitly, he felt like the one who was excluded by them, and his heart was filled with a sense of loss.

However, thinking about the things he had done to Naixue before, he felt that the current situation is also a matter of course, after all, he missed it.

He turned and left lonely, sitting silently on the sofa and waiting for his mother to come back.

Since he moved out a year ago, every time he comes home, he has the feeling of being a guest in someone else's house.Although his father and mother still care about him equally, he always feels that there is something missing in this family, which makes him feel empty.

Li Runcheng felt that Lei Yilie had left, looked back, and asked Lin Naixue with concern: "You are still the same, haven't you made it clear to him?"

Lin Naixue shook her head, and continued to place the fruit with her head down.

Li Runcheng pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.He understood that no matter whether Naixue made it clear to Lei Yilie, or when she made it clear, she would never be able to give him the answer he wanted.

Then, let's be friends.

He is willing to just quietly guard her by her side, as a friend.

Soon the cake was ready, and Lin Naixue carried the cake to the dining table in the living room with her own hands.At this time, Lin Shengzhe, who was waiting at the door, walked over quickly with a mysterious expression on his face, and said to everyone in a low voice, "Get ready, she's back!"

Lin Naixue and Li Runcheng immediately hid behind the door with his hairy waist.

Lei Yilie also had a perfect angelic smile on his face, and hid behind them.It's just that when his eyes looked at Lin Naixue, there was always a trace of sadness that couldn't be concealed.

Especially when he saw her unconsciously holding Li Runcheng's hand because of nervousness, he felt very uncomfortable.

Yuan Jingyin opened the door of the entrance, and happily said into the room: "Shengzhe, Naixue, Yilie, I'm back, and I bought Naixue's favorite dishes!"

After she changed her shoes, she looked up and saw the newly decorated living room, as well as the cakes, delicacies, and flowers on the dining table, she was stunned.But seeing that there was no one in the room, she looked back at the yard again, as if she thought she had gone to the wrong room.

At this moment, Lin Naixue, Li Runcheng, Lei Yilie, and Lin Shengzhe came out from behind the door together, holding colorful flower tubes in their hands and spraying colorful ribbons at Yuan Jingyin, saying loudly: "Happy birthday!"

"You, you..."

Looking at everyone who suddenly appeared, Yuan Jingyin was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, she choked up and couldn't speak.

Lin Naixue stepped forward to take the dish in her hand, pulled her to the table and said, "Look, mom, this is the birthday cake I made for you. I wish mom a happy birthday, healthy and happy forever!"

"Thank you, Nayuki! What a good daughter of my mother!"

Yuan Jingyin hugged her emotionally, and looked gratefully at Lin Shengzhe who had been standing beside her.It was their appearance that allowed her to bid farewell to the gloomy past and regain her happiness.

Li Runcheng clapped his hands and suggested, "Why don't we sing the birthday song now, and then let auntie cut the cake!"

Both Lin Naixue and Lin Shengzhe smiled and nodded in agreement, Lei Yilie smiled and did not speak.

"Happy Birthday……"

Li Runcheng took the lead in singing, and then everyone clapped their hands and sang together happily: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

When singing, Lei Yilie couldn't help but look at Naixue.

Lin Naixue is smiling very happily now, her maroon eyes are full of happiness.As long as you stand by her side, it seems that you can be infected by her happiness, and you will become happy.

Even if he just looked at her from afar, he felt very satisfied with her like this.

However, tomorrow is the day to report to the institute. Which institute will she decide to go to?Although he wanted to know very much, he never dared to ask.

If they didn't go to the same graduate school, it meant that in the next few years, he would not be able to see her often and be warmed by her smile.

When he thought of this, he felt as if someone was stabbing his heart with a needle, which made his heart ache.

Seeing Naixue and Li Runcheng being so close, his originally hopeful mood suddenly sank again—she would definitely choose the institute where Li Runcheng studied?

Yes, between him and Li Runcheng, Naixue has already made a choice, hasn't she?

Lei Yilie ate the cake passed by his mother without taste, and felt that he really couldn't maintain a perfect disguise for a long time in such an atmosphere.

As soon as he finished eating the cake, he took out the gift he prepared for his mother and said, "Happy birthday to you, Mom. Tomorrow is the day to report to the institute. I still have a lot of things to prepare, so I have to go back first, sorry .”

"Eli..."

Yuan Jingyin gently tugged Lei Yilie's hand, her eyes showed the intention to keep her.

At the beginning, she agreed with her son to move out because she thought he hurt Naixue.But during the year when Yilie moved out, every time he saw Naixue, he was very polite.

She tested Naixue several times, but Naixue never said anything bad about Yilie to her.

She is Yilie's biological mother. She knew that he had the same pain in her heart as hers, but instead of taking better care of him and loving him, she doubted him.So, she felt very guilty.

Lei Yilie patted her hand reassuringly, and said, "It's okay, Mom, I've grown up and know how to take care of myself."

After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to everyone politely and politely, turned and left.

Lin Naixue watched him leave silently, but there were turbulent emotions buried in her eyes.

Li Runcheng touched her arm quietly, and motioned her to chase out with his eyes.

Lin Naixue turned her head and smiled at him, then shook her head silently.

the next day.

Lei Yilie stood alone at the airport dragging his suitcase. He refused his mother's request to see him off, because he didn't want to see Naixue seeing him off in this kind of place, and he was also afraid to see his mother coming. Naixue The scene didn't come.

There were people coming and going in the waiting hall, but he couldn't feel any warmth.

All kinds of pedestrians passed by him, but they couldn't see the face he was most looking forward to seeing.

He thought that he could slowly forget that feeling with the passage of time, but he didn't expect that today, a year later, when he was about to be away from her again, he still missed her so much that his heart ached.

Nayuki...

He looked at the door of the waiting hall without any hope, and silently murmured the name that made him feel warm when he thought of it.

When he finally decided to turn around and walk towards the boarding gate, a familiar figure that made his heart skip a beat suddenly broke into his sight—she had long, smooth chestnut hair, a pair of chestnut eyes full of warmth, and a woman who had been burned. into the bright smile of his soul.

He felt his fingers trembling with excitement holding the suitcase. He stared at the girl walking towards him in disbelief, and subconsciously called out her name: "Nayuki..."

"Hey, what a coincidence!"

Lin Naixue stood in front of him with her head tilted slightly, raised her right hand and greeted him with a smile, with a playful look in her eyes.

Lei Yilie stared at her blankly, unable to react: "How come...you..."

Lin Naixue took out a graduate school admission notice from her bag with a smile, unfolded it and handed it to him, saying, "What a coincidence, I seem to be in the same graduate school as you."

"Naixue!"

Lei Yilie looked at the notice in Lin Naixue's hand, his expression of surprise and joy seemed strange.Looking at Nayuki who was smiling in front of him, his eyes became moist unconsciously.

Lin Naixue took another step closer to him, her eyes and tone became very gentle: "Do you still remember what you said that the love of the devil is not blessed?"

Lei Yilie nodded instinctively, he will never forget that night that made his heart ache.

Lin Naixue held her graduate school admission notice and pressed it gently against his heart, smiling very playfully: "Now I want to tell you, I think the love of the devil can be blessed. Because the devil has taken away It broke my heart, and coincidentally, I don't want to take it back either."

"The devil has taken your heart?" Lei Yilie repeated Naixue's words, feeling like he was sitting on a roller coaster. He originally thought that the roller coaster had stopped at the bottom, and when he should get off the roller coaster, the roller coaster stopped. Suddenly it flew high and took him to the high clouds.

Happiness and joy made his mind go blank, and his expression became even more strange. Passers-by looked at him curiously, and didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

Lin Naixue just looked at him with a quiet smile, without urging him.

She knew how it felt because she had smirked like a fool in the mirror for a long time before she set off from home.

It wasn't until the announcer's voice reminding that the ticket check was about to stop came again from the airport radio that Lei Yilie recovered from the surprise.

He looked at the boarding gate, turned around suddenly and gave Lin Naixue a big hug, then took her hand and ran forward in a hurry: "Wait a minute! There are two more here!"

The plane took off on time.

Floating white clouds soon appeared outside the clear window, like a dream, giving people a feeling of being in heaven.

The two who caught the plane at the last minute sat together, their hands were tightly held, fingers intertwined, and each other could easily feel the warmth from each other's palms.

As a result, their hearts seemed to be closely connected.

Looking at the soft white clouds outside the window, Lei Yilie suddenly remembered what Naixue said that he hoped he was an angel. He thought, maybe he was really an angel before, because he finally found his own happiness.
