Chapter 670: Lovers’ Breakup (2)
Thinking that she was hallucinating, Shi Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that everything was real. Raising her head, she saw Leng Nuan.
She was stunned for a moment before saying, “Nuan Nuan...”
Leng Nuan wasn’t in a hurry to speak. Instead, she took two steps forward and sat down beside her. Opening the bag in her hand, she took out a steaming cup of milk tea, she handed it over to Shi Yao and said, “Drink something warm. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Shi Yao had yet to recover from Leng Nuan’s sudden appearance, so she didn’t take the cup.
Leng Nuan took a straw and inserted it into the milk tea before stuffing it back into Shi Yao’s embrace. “Here’s your favorite milk green, a little of theirs.”
Shi Yao came back to her senses and held the milk tea in her hands. The warmth of the tea flowed from her palms all the way to the bottom of her heart, making her mood slightly better.
It was already late at night, and there was no one else on the field anymore.
Shi Yao and Leng Nuan didn’t say a word to each other. They just sat there quietly.
As time slowly passed by, Shi Yao finished half of the milk tea. She turned around to look at Leng Nuan, who had never asked why she was crying, and asked softly, “Nuan Nuan, why aren’t you asking me anything?”
“Asking you what?”Hearing Shi Yao’s voice, Leng Nuan asked, her tone was indifferent as she continued, “Asking you why you’re crying? What’s there to ask? All along, didn’t you say that friends should learn to respect each other? There are some things that they’ll talk about when they want to talk about it, and when they don’t want to talk about it, they should give the other party sufficient space?”
Those were indeed the words that she had always said... when she said those words, she didn’t feel much of it, but when those words came back to her, Shi Yao felt an inexplicable sense of warmth.
Perhaps it was because the matter had been weighing down on her heart for many days, and it was truly depressing for her. At this moment, with Leng Nuan’s quiet companionship.., shi Yao began to pour out her thoughts in a soft voice, “Nuan Nuan, do you know? I’ve always felt that I have a happy family. Even though I’m not rich, my parents are loving and my family is harmonious...”
At this point, Shi Yao’s mind once again flashed back to the day she returned from Chengdu. Hearing her parents arguing at her doorstep, she pursed her lips, it was only then that she continued,”... I never thought that such a day would come when such a tragic event would happen to me... my parents... they were going to divorce many years ago... My father didn’t want me anymore...”
“If Grandpa Lin hadn’t suddenly come to our house and said that I could marry Lin Jiage and even gave my parents a million yuan as a betrothal gift, my father would really have abandoned me...”
Leng Nuan knew that what Shi Yao needed at this moment wasn’t words of comfort but silent companionship. Thus, she didn’t say anything and just stood there quietly as a listener.
“... Nuan Nuan, did you know? When I heard those rumors, I felt as if my entire world had collapsed. The family that I thought I had before was all fake...”
“Even though I know that Grandpa Lin’s betrothal gift was reasonable, my parents didn’t accept it as a betrothal gift in the first place. How could they treat the betrothal gift as if it was just money that they picked up and split it in half? It made me feel as if... I was just a commodity that they sold... sold to the Lin family, sold to Lin Jiage...”
