Chapter 127: Outing (1)

T/N: Happy birthday Dolunay!

The pattern of the two houses was the same, so Lin Xin was pretty much aware of the layout. She gently pushed the gate open. As she entered, she found Lin Xinyu sitting on the stone steps waiting for her with a big old teddy bear in his arms.

“Lin Xin.” He called out softly and briefly.

Lin Xin looked at the worn out teddy bear that had been with him for several years and said, “Didn't I tell you, we’re done, so we won’t be seeing each other again? I hope you’ll never appear in my life again. Your little moves make me sick, you know? If this happens again, you will face the consequences.”

Lin Xinyu pursed his lips until Lin Xin turned to leave.

He asked, “How have you spent the last ten years?”

Lin Xin stopped and turned to look back at him and said, “There were no ten years, so please stay away from me.”

Lin Xinyu reached out and tried to pull her. Aware of his actions, Lin Xin said, “I don’t want to say it again.”

Lin Xinyu dared not come forward. He put his hands down and stood there, crying with the teddy bear in his arms like a child. “I know I’m wrong. Don’t leave me. I’ll change everything you don’t like to something you like.”

Lin Xin was so sad that she couldn’t help crying. Still, she grit her teeth, held back her tears, quickly went out the gate, and soullessly walked her way home.

I like the way you used to be. Can you change back to how you were?

Lin Xin walked very slowly. When she got to her door, she was afraid of being seen by her parents. She stood outside the door and tidied herself up before entering. Her parents were still around, worried she'd be sad because they'd canceled the wedding. Seeing her back from the outside, they nervously and guiltily looked at her.

Lin Xin could not help it any longer and burst into tears. Before, she was not very sad and Mrs. Lin was worried that she was bottling up her emotions. Now that she cried this miserably, Mrs. Lin was relieved. She hugged her and comforted her, asking her if she could not bear to leave Wang Changding.

Lin Xin shook her head and said, “No, I'm just a little disappointed.”

Mother Lin tidied Lin Xin’s hair and said, “Mom and your father met in college. At that time, we were all very simple. There were a lot of people chasing after me at that time, and he was one of them. I had a boyfriend. One day, I fell ill. Doctors said I might not be able to recover. The men who had chased after me were gone, and only he stayed behind… waiting for me. I married him.”

[T/N: Aww!]

Lin Xin only knew that her parents knew each other in college, but not that they had such a story.

“So, don’t be sad. There are a lot of passers-by in life, some because they don’t hold on, some because they forget. After a few decades, when you've grown old and look back to this day, you will find that you were sad to be happier in the future. If you miss him, Mom and Dad have no objection. We'll call them right now.”

Mother Lin picked up her cell phone and almost dialed the number, but Lin Xin pressed her hand.

“Mom, there's no need, I just don't hate him. You don’t have to call.”

Sighing, Mother Lin put down her cell phone. “Mom and Dad want you to get married because we’re afraid we’ll get old and leave, and no one will take care of you. You don’t have to marry off. You don’t have to force yourself. ”

Lin Xin smiled as she said, “Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I know what I want.”

Hearing her daughter say so, Mother Lin was completely relieved. She spoke a few more words of advice to her daughter and was relieved to see that she wasn't as sad. She thought she had to give her some space and was about to leave when she was stopped by her daughter's words.

Lin Xin suddenly asked, “Mom, if I became bad and did very bad things, would you not want me?”

Mother Lin flicked her nose. “You were born from your mother. Even if you did all the bad things, the fact that you are Mother’s daughter is irrevocable, isn’t it? It is good to know that mistakes can be corrected. As long as you change, Mom will still love you.”

Lin Xin did not speak, but smiled happily at her mother and said, “Well, I’m fine. Go get busy.”

After her mother left, Lin Xin sent a text message to Lin Xinyu.

[Tomorrow, there will be no one at my house. Ask your people to remove all the cameras in my house.]

In less than a minute, there was a reply. [Okay.]

Lin Xin then called Lin Shuhao again, it rang several times before he picked up.

“Lin Shuhao, I want to go out for a break tomorrow. Do you have any good places? Let's all go out somewhere not too far.”
