Chapter 330: Resolving the Heart Knot
Xiaomai stood by the lake, closed her eyes, opened her arms, and let the sea breeze blow towards her face. It was so refreshing!
He Lingting looked at Xiaomai's thin body swaying in the wind. He frowned, walked behind Xiaomai, and put out his hands to hug Xiaomai.
The sudden hug startled Xiaomai. She opened her eyes and tried to turn around, but He Lingting hugged her tightly. He lowered his head and pressed it against the top of Xiaomai's head, whispering, "Be good, don't catch a cold."
"Okay!" Xiaomai responded softly, leaning back and absorbing the warmth from the uncle's body. There was a cool breeze in front of her and scorching sun behind her. Xiaomai felt like she was in a world of ice and fire, relaxed and warm.
The two stood hugging each other by the lake for a while, and then He Lingting took Xiaomai for a walk again, and the two went to every place they had stopped before.
The chairs by the lake, where they used to talk, where Xiaomai used to get inspiration, they sat there, Xiaomai still leaned in He Lingting's arms, ignoring the uncle's cold face, and asked: "Uncle, do you still love me?"
He Lingting did not answer, but asked in return: "In order to cure my strange disease, have I forgotten a lot of things about you?"
Xiaomai didn't want him to think about it. She was worried that his deliberate attempt to retrieve his memory would bring up his shameful past, so Xiaomai looked at her hands and said, "No."
How could He Lingting let her fool him? He held up the little girl's head with both hands and looked into her eyes. "Is it true?"
Xiaomai avoided his gaze and nodded, saying, "Yes."
"You little bitch, you're lying." He Lingting said with certainty.
"Stinky girl" is such a familiar nickname. Xiaomai looked up instantly, her eyes slightly red, and asked nervously: "Do you remember?"
"No."
"That's good. Anyway, don't ask anymore. Whether you have forgotten or remembered, they are all unimportant things. Don't think about them, okay?" Xiaomai hugged He Lingting's waist and pleaded.
"But I feel sorry for you. I know that I am attracted to you and I love you, but I don't know when it started." He Lingting said tearfully.
Xiaomai saw the uncle's mood change again, and she said happily: "It doesn't matter, as long as we love each other."
"When I woke up yesterday, I saw the sadness in your eyes, and my heart ached. These past two days, I have been looking for the moment when my heart was moved by you and the reason why I couldn't live without you. I found a lot, but it still felt like it wasn't enough. I failed you and I feel ashamed." This was the sentence He Lingting said the most in the past two days. It turned out that he was acting like that because he felt guilty.
"So you give me a cold face every day?"
"No, I treat everyone like this."
"No, I wasn't like that to me before." Now that things had been said, Xiaomai was no longer afraid. She reached out and pulled He Lingting's face and said.
"Are you getting braver?" He Lingting grabbed Xiaomai's hand and was about to bite it. Xiaomai was so scared that she quickly pulled her hand away and ran away.
He Lingting looked at the little girl's bright smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. As long as the little girl didn't care, he would try to treat her better.
Xiaomai saw the sea of flowers across the road, blooming beautifully, just like her mood at the moment, and she was so happy that she forgot everything else and ran while shouting, "Uncle, come quickly! It's so beautiful there!"
Just as Xiaomai ran to the middle of the road, a young man on a skateboard rushed out on the road and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
He Lingting watched the skateboard rushing towards Xiaomai, so he immediately ran over, holding Xiaomai and dodged sideways. Unexpectedly, the skateboard pressed on the instep of He Lingting's foot. With a bump, the young man fell to the ground, and the skateboard flew out. He Lingting felt a pain in the instep of his foot and frowned.
The young man got up from the ground and started to act like a scoundrel, "You are so stupid! How do you walk?"
Xiaomai got angry when she heard this, "Who are you calling stupid? This is a park, cars are not allowed in, and this is not a competition ground for you to show off your skills. You hit someone but you didn't ask for compensation, and you're still being arrogant."
"Hey! Where did this girl come from? She's quite a talker. I don't want to waste my time talking to you. I fell and my skateboard is broken. You should at least compensate me some money! I don't want much, just three thousand." The young man wanted to extort some money from the two men because they were well-dressed.
"Get out!" He Lingting didn't want to waste time with him, so he shouted coldly, staring at the young man fiercely.
The young man shuddered all over. What a cold-blooded man! His eyes looked like an ice knife ready to kill him at any time. He trembled and dared not say anything back. He ran away in shame with his skateboard in his hand.
After the young man left, He Ting pulled Xiaomai and asked nervously, "Baby, are you okay?"
"It's okay. What about you? You frowned just now. Did you bump into something?" Xiaomai said as she looked He Lingting up and down.
Xiaomai noticed that the upper of the uncle's left shoe was covered with marks from the wheels of the skateboard. "Did your foot get crushed? Let me see."
"It's okay, little girl, you scared me to death just now." He Lingting reached out and hugged Xiaomai and said in a trembling voice.
Xiaomai hugged He Lingting back and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, I will be fine."
"You must be more careful in the future. I won't allow you to have any accidents, do you understand?" He Lingting said seriously.
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are unpredictable. No one knows which will come first, an accident or the future. We can only cherish the present." Xiaomai said with emotion.
"Then I'll accompany you, girl. You are my life! Please don't abandon me." He Lingting said in a low voice while touching Xiaomai's head.
Xiaomai burst into tears instantly. It’s great that the uncle is back!
So the two of them ran towards the sea of flowers, Xiaomai shuttled through them, dancing gracefully. He Lingting's eyes were full of doting, and his gaze was entangled with his little girl. He found the reason why he had to have her. Yes, she was his life. Without Jiang Xiaomai, he was destined to live his life alone. He had no fear and no desire, except for the little girl.
The two came back to the place where they had fallen in love. More than a year had passed and a lot of things had happened. Fortunately, they loved each other more and more.
Xiaomai pulled He Lingting to the grass where they had made their love vows. "It's been more than a year, and the uncle has become my husband."
"Ah."
"We will be happier and happier in the future. When Tuantuan and Yuanyuan grow up, we'll bring them here to play, okay?"
"Okay, you have the final say." He Lingting said, touching Xiaomai's head.
"Then you can't be so cold to me in the future. I'm scared."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
"Then..." Before Xiaomai could finish her words, He Lingting leaned over and kissed her chattering little mouth. Xiaomai exclaimed, and He Lingting took the opportunity to move in. The two of them chased each other and entangled with each other, and it took a long time for them to separate.
Xiaomai hugged the uncle's waist breathlessly, knowing that if she let go, she would collapse to the ground.
After untying their knot, the two walked hand in hand on the path beside the lake, showing their love and affection...
