Chapter 466: Came Over for a Hug

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ning Li thought about how hard it had been for him to rush all the way from Haicheng to Yunzhou, and then to Lincheng after he had finished his work.
“Okay, I’ll wake up you when I get there.”
Lin Fengmian’s lips curved slightly.
“Thank you, Sister.”
With that, he leaned against the passenger seat and lowered his baseball cap.
His face was exquisitely shaped. By pressing down his cap, it covered most of his face.
Ning Li looked out of the window and sighed softly in her heart.
In any case, when her grandmother had passed away, she had deliberately hidden it from him, causing him to not be able to see her grandmother one last time.
This matter was still a hurdle between them.
He had always been sensible and obedient. Even after coming back this time and seeing her, he still had not made a single complaint or even mentioned anything.
However, in her heart, she still more or less felt a little guilty.
…
Forty minutes later, the group arrived at a cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
Cheng Xiyue parked the car.
Ning Li called out to Lin Fengmian.
“Ah Mian, we’re here.”
Lin Fengmian had originally not intended on sleeping, but he had been so busy recently and had not been able to have a good rest.
So eventually, he had really fallen asleep.
However, the moment he heard Ning Li’s voice, he woke up.
He buckled up his hat and put on his mask.
He followed the others out of the car. When he saw that there were flower sellers by the side, he followed them and picked a bunch of little daisies.
When Ning Li looked over, he pursed his lips. “Grandma always liked this the most, right?”
Ning Li nodded and also chose a bunch of little daisies.
Lu Huaiyu and Cheng Xiyue both chose white daisies.
The group walked in and finally stopped in front of a tombstone.
Ning Li stood still and put down the small bunch of daisies in her hand.
“Grandma, Mian and I have come to see you.”
Lin Fengmian stood by the side, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, his voice tinged with a trace of dryness.
“Grandma, I’m sorry, I came back late.”
He was used to restraining all his emotions, but at this moment, as he looked at the ice-cold tombstone, he could not control it any longer.
Cheng Xiyue patted Lu Huaiyu’s shoulder and after putting down the flowers he was holding, he retreated some distance away.
Lu Huaiyu looked at Ning Li.
Her eyelids had drooped slightly, though her expression was calm.
He also retreated slightly, freeing up some time and space for her.
…
Ning Li looked at Lin Fengmian, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
“Mian, as long as you’re well, Grandma will definitely be very happy.”
She had always treated Lin Fengmian like her own grandson.
When Lin Fengmian was very young, his father had passed away due to illness, and he had relied only on his mother to bring him up.
It was not difficult to imagine what kind of life an honest widow with a child would lead.
She had worked several jobs, but she had barely been able to make ends meet. Because she had to spend all her time earning money and no one to help her, she had no choice but to lock Lin Fengmian up in the house for the whole day.
That year, Ning Li had been eight years old.
All kinds of rumors, accusations, insults, and ostracism had still surrounded her.
By that time, she had already learned how to fight.
One day, her school bag had been thrown into the trash again. When she picked it up, there were still many footprints on it.
Then, she had gone to the home of the child who had led the fight.
On the second floor.
She had stood downstairs, thinking about how to call that boy out. However, when she looked around, she had seen Lin Fengmian lying on the floor in the kitchen on the first floor.
At that time, she had felt that something was wrong and had run to knock on the door, but no one answered.
She went to find a rock and smashed their window.
Eight-year-old Lin Fengmian had fumbled around in his effort to make his own lunch and had ended up poisoned by gas.
Fortunately, she had gone in just in time, and the ambulance had come quickly, so Lin Fengmian had survived.
The two families had gradually become closer after that.
Grandma’s heart ached for him, just like her heart ached for Ning Li. She often called Lin Fengmian over for dinner.
Lin Fengmian gradually got used to following behind Ning Li.
He had been very thin and weak at that time. At first, whenever Ning Li had fought, he had helped to carry her school bag as he stood at the side.
Later, when he had become stronger, he had started fighting with Ning Li.
Later on, there had been almost no need for Ning Li to fight anymore.
It was not until he was 15 years old that his mother had died of illness.
That year, on the eve of the high school entrance exam, Lin Fengmian had come to borrow money. He had said that foreign entertainment companies were casting for talent shows and he wanted to go.
When the old lady had heard this, she had not agreed.
What talent show? Debuting as a star was something that was too far away for them to achieve.
She felt that Lin Fengmian should still attend high school.
However, Lin Fengmian had been very insistent.
He had gone to beg Ning Li.
In the end, Ning Li had helped him buy a plane ticket and had given him money for his living expenses.
When the old lady had first found out about this, she had been very sad.
Later on, as time passed, she had gradually learned how difficult it was for the trainees and her heart had started to ache more than feel anger.
In the three years, Lin Fengmian had only returned to the country twice.
On his return this time, things had changed.
Lin Fengmian was silent for a long time.
Ning Li asked softly, “Mian, do you blame me?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head.
“No.
“I would never blame Sister.”
…
Half an hour later, Ning Li and Lin Fengmian walked back.
Lu Huaiyu said, “I think I dropped something over there. Li, please wait for me.”
Ning Li asked, “What is it? Let me go and help you look for it together?”
Lu Huaiyu stroked her hair.
“There’s no need. I’ll just go alone. You guys go wait for me in the car first.”
Ning Li agreed and walked away with Cheng Xiyue.
After Lu Huaiyu had finished speaking, he walked back.
He came to the tombstone again and stood in silence for a long time before saying, “Thank you for taking such good care of Ah Li.
“In the future, I will protect her and love her. I hope that you’ll know that from heaven and can be at ease.”
After saying this, Lu Huaiyu bowed before turning around and leaving.
After walking for some distance, he saw that Ning Li had returned and was standing not far away.
The corners of his lips curled up as he opened his arms.
“Good girl, come and give me a hug..”
