Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Xiao Lin, it’s me.”
Yan Ruffs voice came from the phone, and Bai Lin was a little surprised.
She had indeed given Yan Ruo her number, but what day was it today? Why would he take the initiative to call?
“Ah, what’s the matter?” Bai Lin picked up a small fork to eat a strawberry. It was very sweet. She smiled at Granny opposite the sofa and gestured for her to eat the strawberries as well.
“Where are you now?” Yan Ruo seemed to be very worried about her, which made Bai Lin feel a little confused.
“l… I’m at home,” Bai Lin hesitated for a moment before telling the truth. She swallowed the bite of strawberry and added. “I’m with Granny.”
Hearing Bai Lin say that she was at home with Granny, Yan Ruo felt a lot more at ease. He had only seen the video and had not been by Bai Lin’s side in real life. He was still a little worried that she had been injured during the fight with those people.
“Xiao Lin, are you free tomorrow afternoon then?” Yan Ruo did a turn and finally asked what he wanted to ask.
Bai Lin switched the phone to speaker mode and placed it on the coffee table.
She pulled out a tissue and wiped the strawberry juice off her fingers. This caused her voice to be farther away from the phone. “Yes, I’ll be at home with Granny tomorrow. ”
“Is it a good time for me to pay a visit?”
Yan Ruffs question made Bai Lin even more surprised. She raised her head and looked at Granny on the sofa.
Of course, Granny had also heard this. She sat on the sofa with a smile.
“Sure,” Bai Lin replied after some thought.
To Yan Ruo, this phone call was more nerve-wracking than any other phone call he was ever on.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Lin looked around and affectionately sat next to Granny. She hugged Granny’s arm and acted like a spoiled child.
“Little darling, was that your friend on the phone?” Granny stroked Bai Lin’s hair and asked gently and slowly.
Bai Lin was like a cat that was being petted. The sun shone in, and she enjoyed the warmth with Granny.
“Yes, it’s a new friend I made recently!” When Bai Lin spoke to Granny, even her tone had changed. She now looked like a real girl in her twenties.
It was only with Granny that she could return to being a little girl and forget those days of living life on the edge, the conspiracies and betrayals, and the hurt and despair.
Bai Lin lay on her side on the sofa, her head resting on Granny’s lap. She said softly, “Granny, I’ve encountered a lot of things recently. I miss you so much, and I want to tell you everything.”
Granny patted Bai Lin gently like she was coaxing a child to sleep as she listened to her describe some new and interesting things.
However, Bai Lin had omitted some of the more dangerous or worrying parts of her encounter.
The two of them enjoyed a rare alone time, and laughter rang from the warm little room from time to time.
After some time, Bai Lin fell asleep on Granny’s lap.
Her breathing was light, and her long eyelashes casted a shadow.
A few strands of hair fell on her face and tickled the fine hair on her skin. Granny had done all kinds of work all year round, so her hands were not smooth. However, she gently moved the hair from Bai Lin’s face and did not wake her up.
Ever since Bai Lin became a mercenary, it was rare for her to sleep so deeply. She had to be on her guard even in her sleep. She had to be on her guard at all times.
Granny quietly looked at Bai Lin’s face. Ever since this child was brought back to City A, her personality had changed a lot.
Bai Lin had never told Granny about the dangers and hardships she had experienced outside. However, she could tell if Bai Lin was happy or not as long as she looked into her eyes.
Granny laughed and thought, ‘This silly child, perhaps she doesn’t know what kind of feelings she has for that’ friend’. Or perhaps she knows it in her heart, but she just can’t admit it yet.’
Bai Lin did not notice it herself, but Granny saw it clearly.
After picking up the phone, Bai Lin’s eyes were filled with smiles. After she agreed to let the friend come over, the corners of her mouth subconsciously curved up.
If there was a reliable person who wanted to take care of Xiao Lin, Granny thought she would be more at ease in the future..
