"Momo, I know you’re missing your great-grandfather deep in your heart, and no matter what I say, I can’t comfort you. But Momo, have you ever thought that your present sorrow might disturb your great-grandfather’s peace in death? Before he passed away, what he must have worried about the most was you. He was concerned that you wouldn’t be well. Your great-grandfather did so much for you, and shouldn’t you do something for him now?"
"I know I should live a happy life, so that my great-grandfather can rest in peace," Ling Momo said, bending her lips into a smile, "I will definitely be fine. I will be stronger and braver than anyone." The source of thɪs content is ⓝovelFire.net
Li Qingshen felt a bit more at ease when he heard Ling Momo speak like that. However, the next moment, Momo’s expression turned somewhat sad: "But... now I’m all alone in this world."
Her voice was low and soft, carrying a hint of sadness and pity that seeped through her words, and even as she finished speaking, the girl’s slender shoulders shrank slightly. Her series of subtle reactions made Li Qingshen’s heart suddenly tighten, like a fuse had been lit. All reason seemed to vanish in an instant, and he blurted out uncontrollably, "You still have me."
Ling Momo quickly turned around to look at Li Qingshen, her eyes misting over, blurring her vision. She didn’t speak, but the simple four words Li Qingshen had just said echoed slowly in her ears, "You still have me... You still have me..." Momo didn’t understand why, but her tears fell in big droplets.
The two were very close, and Momo could see the man before her, his skin looking even fairer under the moonlight, and his dark eyes as deep and enchanting as black crystals.
Ling Momo felt an unusual emotion welling up deep inside her. After a long while, she finally recognized that feeling as being moved.
Li Qingshen watched the tears continue to fall from Momo’s eyes, and with one hand, he cradled her face, lifting his thumb to slowly wipe away her tears. His beautiful thin lips gently curved into a smile, and his graceful yet cool voice floated over, "Don’t cry. You won’t be alone in this world. I’ll always be with you."
I’ll always be with you...
Such a suggestive and blunt statement!
Yet coming from Li Qingshen’s mouth, Ling Momo would never think in any other direction. She knew that Li Qingshen had a girl he secretly and deeply loved, so she took his words simply as concern and comfort.
Even so, his words still made Ling Momo feel a warm glow inside. She remained silent, just looking at Li Qingshen. She really wanted to force a smile for him, but her lips trembled uncontrollably. She looked into his eyes for a very long time before she managed to speak hesitantly, "Teacher, thank you!"
Li Qingshen’s expression froze for a moment, then his eyes became exceptionally bright, outshining even the moonlight, and he nodded, answering with a word, "Okay."
Her wish to be friends with him, did that mean her heart had undergone a great change towards him?
