Chapter 92 Nannan, will be back soon (2)
Often, she wanted to ask Little White why he was so good to her, what he desired, but the words always lingered at the edge of her mouth, only to be swallowed back down. She was afraid, afraid of shattering the harmony between them now and even more afraid of being alone again from then on.
On one hand, she was immersed in this warmth; on the other, she had to remind herself not to sink into it. Her identity, her family, her everything kept her from sinking, so she could only avoid it all.
She wrapped her arms tightly around herself; even the surrounding temperature dropped a bit compared to when Lin Mubai was there.
Already downstairs, Lin Mubai suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He abruptly lifted his head to look at a certain window upstairs. That familiar light slowly soothed the suffocating feeling within him.
He gazed at the window and softly said, "Nannan, be good. I’ll be back to keep you company soon."
He didn’t actually want to go, but in his position, many relationships wouldn’t allow him to escape, at the very least not letting love forsake friendship.
He is Lin Mubai; his extraordinary upbringing taught him to maintain friendship while having love. A person can’t survive on love alone, nor with just friendship — only with both can one have a complete life.
Lin Mubai ultimately went to attend the gathering with friends.
By the time he reached the bar at the Champs Elysees, everyone was already there, he being the only one who arrived late.
As soon as he walked in the door, Third Young Master Xi’s sarcastic voice rang in everyone’s ears: "Oh my, our Young Master Lin is truly like a lady from a distinguished family, always arriving late."
