"How long am I going to stay here?!" Li Hui could not wait to continue, "Do you know how terrible the conditions are here? There is almost no sunlight in the room, and the house is filled with the smell of mold.
Several calls had been made since the incident, but the number of calls had been limited.
From the other end of the line, a slow female voice said, "You know that's what's safe."
"You promised me before!" As long as I do as you say, you will rescue my daughter from prison and even give us a sum of money. You will arrange for us to go abroad and never come back here again! But Yao Yao is still inside, and I'm being searched by the police! " These days, Li Hui was really too miserable. Every time she was in the sunlight, as long as someone walked past, she would lower her head, afraid that someone would notice.
And since the incident, he had stayed in this arranged underground rental house without even taking a bath.
"You still have the nerve to mention it to me?" The female voice turned cold.
"But you can't blame me for everything!" After Li Hui heard this, she did not dare complain anymore and immediately tried to defend herself, "I also did not know that he would suddenly run over to save her. If not for him, I would have done it already.
"Are you done talking!"
The female voice interrupted her, causing Li Hui to feel angry but not say anything. She lowered her head, "I know I did not succeed in handling this matter, but I did my best! You won't go back on your word, right? Now that things have turned out this way, what am I going to do next? You won't let me stay here forever, right? I don't want it, I beg you, hurry up and think of a way to save me! "
"What are you so anxious for? Just you wait." The female voice said impatiently.
How could Li Hui not be anxious? Even the muscles on her face were twitching. "Hello, hello?"
She held the microphone and fed it for a long time, but no one answered her.
"How did he get killed!"
Li Hui muttered angrily, she was not willing to give up and wanted to continue attacking.
The door to the room burst open, and a man came in, snatched the phone from her hand, and pulled the cord. "Five minutes!"
After saying that, he turned around and left in a bad mood.
Li Hui had no choice but to sit back down by the bed and open the take-out food box. The food inside did not have the slightest heat and was full of the smell of oil from the sewer, hence she did not have the slightest appetite. After eating two bites, she could not swallow any more, but she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
She tossed the chopsticks aside after eating, then fell into deep thought.
Two days of continuous rain and rain, the sky was like a jade seal.
In the morning, after Huo Chang Yuan went to the company, Lin Wan Bai did not stay idle either. He brought little bun along for a taekwondo lesson in the morning, and after lunch, he also attended another painting lesson. However, towards the end, the paint tray accidentally flipped over and it was filled with clothes.
After returning to the villa, she took the little bun, who had turned into a kitten, back to the children's room.
After washing the pigments on his face and finding some clean clothes to put on, Aunt Li's footsteps came to the door, telling him that a guest had arrived. It seemed that it was because Huo Chang Yuan was not here, so he directly told him that the guest was a man, although he was not young.
Lin Wan Bai temporarily gave the little bun to Aunt Li and headed downstairs doubtfully.
Seeing the people in the living room, he unexpectedly called out, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Xue Lin seemed to have just sat down and stood up upon hearing the commotion. He was still dressed very casually, even though he was old, his demeanor was still elegant and his smile was very friendly.
"I'm sorry for the reckless manner in which you paid me a visit!"
"How could that be? Quickly, sit down!"
Lin Wan Bai called out hurriedly. The person who came was a customer, and asked, "What do you want to drink? There's tea, coffee, and fruit juice at home!"
"Coffee." Lu Xue Lin said with a smile.
"Then wait a moment!" Lin Wan Bai expressed, then turned and entered the kitchen.
Aunt Li was taking care of the little bun upstairs, so she took care of these trivial matters. Initially, she wanted to brew a cup of instant coffee, but when she saw the leftover coffee that she grinded in the container in the morning, she remembered Lu Xue Lin's identity and decided to make it on the spot.
Very quickly, Lin Wan Bai placed the coffee cup on the table.
Lu Xue Lin thanked her as the fragrance of the coffee assaulted his nostrils. He picked up the cup and took a sip, tasting the mixed malt candy taste. His expression suddenly froze, as something seemed to have awakened his sense of smell, causing his heart to tremble a few times as well.
Lin Wan Bai also noticed his change and could not help but ask, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Lu Xue Lin covered the emotions in his eyes, shook his head and laughed, "The coffee taste is pretty good!"
Lin Wan Bai replied with a smile as well.
"I came here today to return the book." After Lu Xue Lin put down the cup, he took out a paper bag from his chest and opened it to reveal the German translation of the novel.
Ah!" Lin Wubai understood what he meant and quickly explained, "Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble, why don't you come over yourself!
"No trouble!" The main reason is because last time when I was borrowing a book, things happened too unhappily. I was worried about asking you out, and furthermore, I was afraid of my wife … I might as well come straight to my house and bring it to you! " Lu Xue Lin spoke of his wife with an awkward and apologetic expression.
Lin Wan Bai nodded, not minding much.
Seeing the other party take out the novel, stroking the sides of the paper with a reluctant look, she couldn't help but open his mouth, "Mr. Lu, if you still want to continue reading, you can bring it back for a few more days!"
"Forget it, no matter how many times I flip through it, it still doesn't belong to me!" Lu Xue Lin passed it to her.
"I'm so sorry …" "I know that you like this novel and I can't buy it now, but I can't give you the book. It's just that this novel is very important to me, so I can't bear to part with it …"
"Miss Lin, don't think too much, I have no other intentions!" Seeing that, Lu Xue Lin immediately explained, "It's already very difficult to find the original novel in this country. To be able to read it again at Miss Lin's place, is already very satisfying.
When he looked up, he saw that Lin Wan Bai had lowered his head and his gaze was fixated on the book in his hands.
It was unknown if it was because his mood was a little unstable, but Lu Xue Lin was in a bit of a trance, and his line of sight gradually became distant as well, as if he had seen that young girl from his memories.
He had been studying hard in Germany for a long time. Every day, when he was faced with the complicated situation in German, she would always be quietly accompanying him. Although she didn't understand anything, she would still learn from him and the two of them would sometimes discuss some sentences.
Afterwards, he was going to study abroad, and he would only be able to come back twice a year for a limited period of time, which would cause them to spend less and less time together. However, she was not afraid, and willingly waited for him.
"Why do you sigh, Arlin?"
the young girl asked, looking up at him with the book in her arms.
He lowered his head to look at the beautiful face in front of him, and couldn't help but go forward to hug her, sighing in her ear, "If you can't love each other in this life, then you'll miss each other!"
After the girl understood his words, her face instantly flushed red, but her eyes quickly became filled with tears again.
He had no choice but to leave the plane with his luggage. When he finally turned his head, he could still see a young girl standing motionlessly in the airport with a book in her arms. Her red eyes and nose were filled with longing for him …
Lu Xue Lin picked up the cup of coffee again.
It was getting cold, and there wasn't much water vapor on his face, but his eyes felt hot. He couldn't help but say in a hoarse voice, "I can't love you in this life, and it causes love …"
Lin Wan Bai was slightly stunned.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure for a moment!" Lu Xue Lin realized that he had lost control of himself and immediately calmed down. Seeing that she was staring straight at him, he asked with an apologetic smile, "Did you scare the Miss Lin?"
"No …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
Borrowing her lowered eyes, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This is a poem by the Yuan Dynasty's Xu Zhaosi. I also quite like it!"
"That's right!" Lu Xue Lin smiled and nodded, his emotions had already returned to normal.
Lin Wan Bai looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Mr. Lu, can I have a presumptuous request?"
