She began to think about the future.
Before Rong Yan’s explanation, should she stay in Canada to take care of Qiange or return to S City?
If she were to return to S City, she would not be able to stay at Kristen’s place forever. Her real home was, Waterside Residences. But, due to Luo Zhiquan and Li Yulan, she could not go back.
Besides, she needed to keep her distance from Luo Zhiquan before the case was exposed.
Every time she saw Luo Zhiquan’s family, she would be reminded of her parents’ tragic deaths.
Luo Anning moved her hand away and saw Kristen smiling sinisterly.
“Are you done with your lunch break?” she asked.
“I’ve never had this habit. I can’t sleep.” Kristen shrugged and laid down beside her.
He mimicked her behavior just now and covered his eyes with his hand to look at the blue sky.
“What were you thinking just now? Why were you so distracted?”
Luo Anning retracted her gaze and said calmly, “I’m thinking about a lot of things. Tell me, why are there so many worries in life? It would be great if it could always remain so peaceful.”
After hearing her naive and ambitious words, Kristen chuckled and turned to look at her. “Anning, humans are born out of fatigue and love. In life, we’ll inevitably have troubles and joys. We’ll experience all kinds of pain and misery. Once we’ve experienced the vicissitudes of life, we’ll become stronger and more resilient. At that time, no harm will be able to hurt us easily. This is undoubtedly a torment, but you must believe that after the pain, we’ll experience a refreshing sweetness.”
“… Why do I sense you have seen the vicissitudes of life?” Luo Anning murmured.
Kristen retracted his hand and smiled radiantly while facing the glaring sunlight. “I’ve been through a lot. I can see it clearly.”
Luo Anning turned to look at him and saw a tinge of sadness and helplessness on his face.
“Kristen, I don’t think I’ve ever asked about your story before. You’ve always been the one taking care of me. I may not be able to help you with anything else, but I might be a good listener if you have something on your mind.”
Kristen smiled and said, “What about you? You have plenty of stories too. If you’re willing, I’ll be the best listener.”
Luo Anning stared at him while Kristen smiled at her.
On a warm afternoon, under the blue sky and white clouds, the two of them told each other a story that they rarely shared with others.
…
Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, she had been in Canada for a week.
A week later, Luo Anning decided to leave for S City.
Due to Feng Churui’s call, the case progressed quickly and it was now at a critical juncture. She believed that she would be able to piece together the truth behind the car accident soon.
When the plane landed at S City International Airport, Luo Anning felt as if a lifetime had passed.
“What are you thinking about?” Kristen asked while walking towards the airport.
“Nothing much. I just feel that my heart became heavier when I stepped foot in this place.”
“Don’t think too much. Remember that you’re pregnant now and stop frowning so much. Be careful not to affect your child’s development,” Kristen said as if it were true.
