Chapter 677 - 676: Matters of the Heart
"Mm."
Lin Wushuang appeared very calm on the surface, but her heart rippled. Her grandfather’s words made her yearn for Chen Tianlong to be her boyfriend, for them to naturally do things that couples should do.
Side by side, they arrived at Mo Jing’s elementary school, which was not very big, just two three-story teaching buildings, estimated to house around two or three hundred people.
However, cameras were installed everywhere near the school, and the school guards were experts from the Black Panther Assassin Group. Seeing Ye Tian and Lin Wushuang, the guard hurriedly approached and said, "Are you two here to visit Mo Jing?"
"Yes, brother, can we go inside and have a look?" Chen Tianlong replied with a slight smile.
"Of course, the Manor Master has instructed that if you both come to visit, you can enter and leave at any time," the guard said very respectfully.
Chen Tianlong nodded, took Lin Wushuang’s small hand, and entered the school gate.
Although the place was small, there were many things for entertainment. Manor Master Sima Dong had clearly put a lot of thought into transforming this place into a playground-like area that had almost everything.
Of course, except for extreme rides like roller coasters, almost everything was available.
"Ah, wow..."
By a carousel, Mo Jing was shouting joyfully, and several children beside her were also having a great time.
Seeing this scene, Chen Tianlong smiled knowingly, finally setting his heart at ease.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong finally understood that it wasn’t just finding a place free from scheming that would make Mo Jing happy; her true happiness came from companionship.
And wasn’t it the same for him?
Could he really bear to leave after a year of agreement?
"Chen Tianlong, what do you think true happiness for a person is?" Lin Wushuang suddenly asked, with a very serious expression.
"Hehe, doing what you want, living with the one you like," Chen Tianlong said lightly.
"Hehe, I think so too," Lin Wushuang looked at Chen Tianlong affectionately, and just for a moment, it gave Chen Tianlong an urge to hug her.
"Bro, Wushuang Sister-in-law, you’re here! I think this place is so much fun," Mo Jing finally got off the carousel and ran over, saying with a smile.
But her calling Lin Wushuang "Wushuang Sister-in-law" made Lin Wushuang’s cheeks flush bright red.
"Hehe, that’s good. Mo Jing, brother needs to leave for a while. Come over to visit if you have time, and stay here to study in peace. If you need anything, just tell Grandmaster Sima, and I’ll come immediately," Chen Tianlong instructed.
"Really? If I miss you, you’ll come and hold me to sleep," Mo Jing said cutely, then turned to Lin Wushuang and said, "Wushuang Sister-in-law, let me tell you a secret. Being held to sleep by my brother is very comfortable. You must try it."
"....."
"Cough cough... Xiaojing, don’t talk nonsense. If you miss me, you can call me. As for coming over to hold you to sleep, it may not be that easy since it’s a bit far from South Sea City," Chen Tianlong said with a bitter smile.
"Oh well, with Wushuang Sister-in-law holding you, you don’t care about your sister. So biased."
"Well, Xiaojing....."
"Haha, just kidding. I can’t let you hold me; I’m a big girl now, and I heard holding too much will get you pregnant," Mo Jing said, then pointed to her friends ahead and said, "Bro, I’m not staying with you guys; I’m going to play with my friends. Goodbye!"
"...."
Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment but still said with a bitter smile, "Goodbye, Xiaojing!"
"Goodbye!"
Lin Wushuang waved her hand.
The two exchanged a smile and turned to leave, while Mo Jing ran a few steps before turning around, looking reluctant. She knew her brother had his own things to do, and being by his side was the happiest. But she also understood she was a burden and couldn’t be wilful anymore.
After bidding farewell to Mo Jing and saying goodbye to the Manor Master, the two drove directly to South Sea City.
This time, Lin Wushuang sat in the passenger seat while Chen Tianlong quietly drove the car, and neither spoke.
"Wushuang, are you okay?"
Chen Tianlong finally spoke. He didn’t know what to say to the young lady, not because there was nothing to say, but for fear that once he started, he couldn’t stop.
And Lin Wushuang felt the same way.
"I’m fine, just enjoying the scenery along the way and wanting to watch quietly," Lin Wushuang was obviously lying, as she had things on her mind she hadn’t put down yet.
But Chen Tianlong belonged to Leng Qiuyan now; no matter how much she thought about it, what could she do?
"That’s good."
Chen Tianlong didn’t ask further and drove the car all the way to South Sea City in no time.
On the first afternoon of the school opening, after school, Chen Tianlong was called to the office by Shen Yan.
The reason was simple. She wanted to repay Chen Tianlong, and she also missed him very much. Although their relationship was a bit complicated now, being both teacher and student, and friends, as well as pretending to be lovers.
"Teacher, is there something you want me to do?" Chen Tianlong grinned. During the New Year, they were really wild, even sleeping together and being lovers for a day. Thinking back now, it made Chen Tianlong a bit excited.
"Hehe, of course, I want to repay you. You helped my family so much during the New Year, and now my mom’s condition is stable and she’s getting healthier, and I’m truly grateful to you," Chen Mengyan said happily.
"Hehe, you and I are close, no need for such polite words," Chen Tianlong said nonchalantly, offering help casually, especially since Shen Yan was a girl he liked; helping was a pleasure.
"Alright, is there anything else? If not, I’ll go eat first." Seeing Shen Yan’s childish expression, Chen Tianlong sensed something was off with this girl.
"Chen Tianlong....."
Shen Yan called him again, and this time Chen Tianlong believed that after all this fuss, she would finally speak her mind.
"Teacher, is there anything else?" Chen Tianlong stopped and asked again, confused.
"Uh... thank you very much!" Shen Yan said shyly because Chen Tianlong used to call her dearly, and now thinking back on it made her blush.
"Hehe, you’re welcome, teacher. I’m leaving now." Chen Tianlong saw Shen Yan didn’t say anything else, so he was about to leave.
"Chen Tianlong....."
Shen Yan hesitated again and called Chen Tianlong back, but this time seemed to have made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "You... you promised me dinner, and now you’re just leaving like that."
"Huh? Wasn’t it you who promised me? How did it become me promising you?"
Chen Tianlong saw Shen Yan hold back for a long time, and then only say this, which left him speechless. He didn’t know what to say, but he knew this wasn’t something a man should say, so he turned back and said with a bitter smile, "Hehe, how could I forget? I was just pretending to let you say it."
