At that time, Lu Yining felt nothing.
But looking back now, those days were really precious.
It's a pity that there is no magic power to turn back time in this world...
"Later, whenever country F started to sell figurines, she clamored to buy them. Gradually, she collected more figurines." While Lu Yining was looking at those figurines, Shu Zhilan was still talking. with.
"These are my favorite anime characters when I was a child..." Lu Yining was a little excited when he saw that there were many anime characters he was familiar with.
"Yeah, Ning Ning collected them according to your preferences. I didn't know before... until one day, two of the figures in her collection were missing. When she found out, she was furious and turned over the entire Smith Manor. When the bottom was upside down, I realized that she had been thinking about bringing these back to you..."
Hearing this, Lu Yining suddenly felt that the figures in his hands were a bit heavy.
"Later, she won the succession of the Smith family. Actually, I don't want her to be the heir, because it's too dangerous and too hard, but she still does it for me..."
"She really did it. But from the day she took the inheritance, she had people build this hut and seal it all up. I didn't understand her at the time, but I understand now. She probably knew that from the day she took From the moment of inheriting the right of inheritance, it has become her extravagant wish to go back to the country to reunite with you and bring these back to you!"
When he turned around, he realized that Shu Zhilan's eye sockets were already red.
"mom……"
"Sorry, Yining." In Smith Manor, the tears of the weak will not be sympathized. So the first time someone noticed the tears, Shu Zhilan quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
"Mrs. Dillis is coming, I have to entertain her first." Shu Zhilan asked again: "Are you going out with me now, or..."
Lu Yining stepped forward, embraced his mother who had been crying but tried hard to pretend to be strong, and whispered in her ear: "Mom, I am not someone else, I am your son, so you don't need to pretend in front of me..."
Hearing her son's words, Shu Zhilan burst into tears again.
"Yining, I just want to tell you that Ningning is a distressed child. It's my fault. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't be like this..."
Lu Yining lived in Smith Manor for a period of time.
During this period, he must have also heard a lot of rumors about Lu Dingning.
Especially the murderous and ruthless stepson.
Shu Zhilan was worried that it would cause Lu Yining to misunderstand Lu Dingning.
It was also because of this that she brought Lu Yining to her figurine hut without Lu Dingning's permission.
"Mom, I know, I know. Ningning is not what others say..."
Actually, how could Lu Yining not know what Shu Zhilan wanted to say.
In the past few days, he has indeed noticed from other people's mouths that they are afraid or terrified of Lu Dingning, but so what?
Even if Ning Ning is a little hedgehog, it's just for her own protection!
When entering this figurine hut and listening to his mother's confidantes, Lu Yining actually feels more distressed for Ning Ning.
If his father knew that Lu Dingning had spent these years by thinking about them, he would probably be more sad than death.
Ningning...
Their Ning Ning looks more ruthless and cold-blooded than anyone else, but in fact she just hides her emotions in a corner that others can't see...
"Ma'am, your guest has arrived."
Within a few minutes after Lu Yining hugged Shu Zhilan into his arms, Cagle's reminder came from outside.
This voice seemed to bring back Shu Zhilan's mind.
She quickly adjusted her makeup, and after a while, an elegant and distant smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Okay, I'll go out to greet the guests first. You can stay here by yourself for a while, I think Ningning wants to share this with you the most."
Such Shu Zhilan seemed like nothing had happened.
After giving Lu Yining an order, she gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards the outside of the figurine.
The moment the door of the figurine opened, Shu Zhilan was that glamorous Mrs. Smith who everyone wanted to curry favor with. As for the sad look just now that he needed to cry in his son's arms, it seemed to be just Lu Yining's illusion...
But staring at Shu Zhilan's retreating back, Lu Yining was actually deeply moved.
In fact, isn't mother just like Ningning, bound by their current identities?
If he and his father knew that the life of their mother and daughter in country F was not good, how good would it be if they could bring them back to the country in time?
But the world didn't regret medicine...
No matter how regretful they are, time still passes mercilessly, not stopping for anyone.
"Ningning, I saw the figure you are going to give me."
Feeling helpless against time, Lu Yining focused his attention on the handicrafts that Lu Dingning carefully collected.
Every figure here is spotless.
Shu Zhilan had said before bringing him here that Lu Dingning would never let anyone else in this small room except Shu Zhilan.
Even the cleaning was done by Lu Dingning himself.
"Ningning, you silly girl..."
Touching the figure of his favorite anime character, Lu Yining seemed to see Lu Dingning who followed his mother to this strange country when he was still young.
It is said that men do not flick their tears lightly.
But at this moment, Lu Yining's tears stopped flowing.
"If I had known earlier that you have had such a difficult life these years, I should have asked Dad to take you home sooner..."
"I'm sorry, Ningning..."
These words turned into Lu Yining's choking in the end.
After that day, the place where Lu Yining stayed the most every day was this figurine hut...
The gate of Imperial City University——
As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the school gate became much more lively.
Among those young figures, many still haven't stepped into the society. Their brows and eyes have a bright vitality that other people don't have.
Surrounded by such a campus, Zong Jize felt that he had become much younger in an instant.
Among the crowd who left the school in twos and threes after school, one group stood out.
Because there are at least a dozen students in that group, both male and female!
They came from a distance, and the picture was simply beautiful to the extreme.
Maybe it was this scene that was more beautiful. Zong Jize, who was sitting in the car looking into the distance and waiting for someone's figure, also looked over.
But Zong Jize didn't catch a cold at such a youthful scene, and Zong Jize looked away after watching it for less than a second.
Because, he only cared about someone wholeheartedly.
Zong Jize, who just moved his eyes away for a while, turned his eyes back in less than two seconds...
