"I don't think that's a big deal. Something might have happened to Silent Cheng in the past. It's normal for his aunt to treat him so well! What I find strange is that there seems to be only Mo Jingcheng and his aunt living in that house. There is no one else. Where is Mo Jingcheng's uncle? Also, at Aunt Julia's age, she should have her own children by now. But there were only the two of them. Wasn't it strange?”
"That's true. But, Xiao Xin, how do you know what happened to Shen Mucheng in the past?”
"Intuition!"
"You trust your intuition that much? Then, based on your intuition, have I encountered any misfortune in the past?”
"No!"
"Why?"
"You don't look like it."
"How is it different?"
"You look carefree all day long, and your personality is so lively and cheerful. How do you look like someone who has encountered misfortune? Although it was impossible for a person's life to be smooth sailing, at least the misfortune that you encountered could be ignored.”
"Can it really be ignored?"
"You look very good now. If something really happened in the past, at least you've come out of it. Unlike Silent Cheng, his past must have been very painful.”
"Little Xin, you…"
"Hmm?"
"We are good friends who talk about everything, right? Good friends should be honest with each other and trust each other, right?”
"Of course, Xiao Yue, you are my best friend and also my most trusted friend. Why are you suddenly asking me this?"
"Xiao Xin, I want to ask you a question, so can you answer me seriously?”
"Tell me everything you know!"
"You, do you like silence?" Lu Xiaoyue asked in an extremely low voice.
Lin Xinlan was stunned. She stopped in her tracks but did not answer Lu Xiao Yue immediately. Did she like silence? Did she like him? Why did Xiaoyue ask her this?
"Xiao Yue, I don't want to lie to you. Actually, I don't know what feelings I have for him. I always felt that he was very lonely, so I always wanted to get close to him and understand him. I didn't want him to always be alone. But every time I talk to him, we end on bad terms. He seems to hate me. I don't know what it means to like him, but every time I think of him, my heart hurts, just like the pain when I woke up from that dream. Xiaoyue, true love should be happy and blissful. The heart should be filled with warmth, not pain. However, I couldn't help but miss him. I couldn't help but want to know everything about him. I realized that my sadness and joy would change because of him, even though he always had an indifferent face and no emotions could be seen. But as long as I can see him, I feel at ease. If I can't see him, I feel heartache. Xiaoyue, can this be considered liking?”
Lu Xiao Yue listened quietly. She suddenly regretted asking Lin Xinlan this question, but if she didn't ask, the result might be worse if she kept it in her heart. It turned out that Xin Lan liked to be silent, and her love was no less than hers. Coincidentally, he liked her, and she liked him too. What else could she say?
"Little Xin, you idiot! Don't you even know if you like him? If this didn't count as liking, then what did? You're usually such a smart person. Why do you become an idiot when it comes to relationships?”
"You think I'm an idiot too?"
"Who else noticed it before me?"
"Me! When I first entered the school, I always thought that I understood Silent Cheng because his indifferent eyes always gave me a feeling of sadness. So at that time, I knew that Silent Cheng was actually a person with a cold face and a warm heart. His indifference was actually just a shell. If no one could pry into his heart, no one would know his fragility, so he would not be hurt again. I thought I knew him, so I always tried to remove his disguise and let him let go of the past and start over. But slowly, he got tired of me. He always deliberately avoided me and ignored me. I am getting more and more unable to fathom his true side. Is this his nature, or is he really pretending? I don't understand. So, I realized that I was a self-righteous idiot. Even now, I still don't understand why he's like this. Why can't I give up on changing his mind?”
"So, he has always been in your heart! Stupid Lil Xin, you've hidden it well enough. It took you so long to tell me the truth. If I didn't ask, were you planning to hide it forever?”
"No, Xiaoyue, I always wanted to tell you, but I wasn't sure. I never knew what was going on with Silent Cheng. I don't know what's wrong with me either. So…"
"So, you've been avoiding your own heart, not daring to face it. You even endured it alone in your heart. Do you even treat me as your good friend?”
"Xiao Yue, I'm sorry, but I've already told you everything. You're the only one who knows, so you have to help me keep it a secret.”
"Don't worry, I know how harmful rumors can be. If Wu Ming hears about it, you'll definitely be criticized badly.”
"I'm not afraid of rumors or criticism. What I'm afraid of is that if my parents find out, they'll be sad and disappointed in me.”
"Xiao Xin, are your parents very good to you?”
"Of course. Which parent wouldn't treat their child well? I am their only hope, so I can't let them down."
"Yeah, what kind of parents treat their children badly? I actually asked such an idiotic question.”Lu Xiaoyue smiled bitterly. If my parents were still alive, they would treat me very well! Little Xin, you're so lucky!" However, Lu Xiao Yue could only say this to herself and Lin Xinlan in her heart.
"So I'm not the only idiot!"
"Yes, that's why we're called sisters in distress. Birds of a feather flock together.”
"Haha! Yes, birds of a feather flock together!”
As soon as the chatterbox opened, Lin Xinlan could not stop talking about the silence, so that she did not notice the tears that Lu Xiaoyue tried to hold back when she was talking about how the silence made her heart ache. She did not notice the topic that Lu Xiaoyue tried to hide when she talked about her parents. The sudden arrival of love finally caused the friendship between them to waver. In the showdown of sincerity and trust, Lu Xiaoyue buried her silence as a permanent secret deep in her heart, and also hid her misfortune of not having parents in her heart. Lin Xinlan, who finally knew that she liked to be silent, knew nothing about all of this.
Lin Xinlan received a call from Chen Muyun on a Saturday afternoon. When the phone rang, Lin Xinlan and Lu Xiaoyue were sitting on the lawn reading a book.
"Hello!"
"Xin Lan, I'm Mocheng's aunt.”
"Oh, Auntie, hello! May I ask…"
"Is it convenient for us to meet? I'll wait for you at the entrance of your school."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll be right there!”Lin Xinlan hung up the phone and turned to Lu Xiaoyue,""Xiaoyue, I can't accompany you anymore. Auntie Chen is looking for me.”
"Mo Jingcheng's aunt? Why is she looking for you?" Lu Xiaoyue was a little surprised, and her eyes dimmed.
"I don't know either. Let's talk when I come back. I'll leave first!”Lin Xinlan carried her bag and ran towards the school gate.
A few minutes later, she saw Chen Muyun standing at the door, smiling as she ran over.
"Auntie, sorry to keep you waiting!"
"Not long. You can slowly come over. Have you eaten?"
"I just finished eating."
"Then accompany me to the park. I have something to tell you.”
"Yes."
It was still early, and there weren't many people in Qinghu Park. Lin Xinlan accompanied Chen Muyun to a tree-lined road. Chen Muyun simply asked Lin Xinlan about her studies and school life, and Lin Xinlan gave a simple answer. They walked into an empty gazebo and sat down. Chen Muyun then began to talk about the real topic.
"Xin Lan, tell me about Mocheng's situation in class.”
"Auntie, why did Auntie ask me to come?”
"Because Auntie thinks that you're the closest to Mocheng.”
Most familiar? He had once said that he was not familiar with her.
"Why would Auntie think so?”
"Because I brought Mocheng up. I know what he's thinking the best.”
"Auntie, I don't understand."
"When Mocheng was seven years old, his mother, who was also my only sister, died in a car accident. When she left, she left Mocheng and his father in my care. At that time, I had nothing. Mocheng's mother died because of me. I could only live on in her place and spend the rest of my life taking care of Mocheng and his father. What happened back then is already in the past. I can only tell you this simply. I just want you to understand that Mocheng is not as cold as he looks on the surface. He also needs care and warmth.”
It turned out that his coldness and pain were due to his mother's death. It turned out that the important person he had lost was his mother. Lin Xinlan did not know how the car accident happened, but she seemed to have understood the truth at that time.
" Auntie, I understand, but why…"
"Xin Lan, you're a smart child. Auntie also came from your age. Auntie doesn't believe that you didn't realize that Mocheng treats you differently from the others in the class.”
"He, he has the same attitude towards everyone in the class, including me.”
"But that's not what Auntie saw. Do you still remember that time when you and Xiaoyue didn't go back to school? Your homeroom teacher called to ask me if I invited two female classmates from Mocheng's class to my house. At that time, I knew that my Mocheng had lied to me and the teacher. If it were any other parent, they would definitely teach the lying child a lesson together with the teacher. But I still told your homeroom teacher that I invited you to my house. Because I'm not some other parent, and Mocheng isn't the kind of child who should be taught a lesson. I raised him, and I know his temper. He only told your form teacher that I invited you because he trusted me. But Xin Lan, have you ever thought about why Mocheng lied? You know, that night when you guys didn't go back to school, Mocheng lied to me for the first time.”
