He and Lin Mo were never from the same world.
The difference in their social status, and the fact that Lin's parents were his benefactors, were all shackles binding him, making it impossible for him to break free.
Until... he remembered everything from three years ago.
Until he saw the marks on Lin Mo's body...
Until he heard Lin Mo admit that he liked men, but wanted to leave his side to seek excitement and pleasure with other men...
The string of reason in Jiang Qinfeng's mind finally snapped.
He couldn't stand Lin Mo doing this.
He finally admitted his feelings and begged Lin Mo to give him a chance and not abandon him to find someone else.
Then, he heard heavenly music.
It turned out that Lin Mo was just lying to him; her real intention was to force him to make a choice.
Nothing happened between him and Gu Xun; those marks were just a prank.
This news put Jiang Qinfeng completely at ease.
And she had more courage to face Lin's parents and tell them what she and Lin Mo wanted.
He became an ungrateful person, not only receiving help from the Lin family but also abducting their son.
But he did not regret the decision he made.
Because his thinking has always been very simple.
That is, to protect Lin Mo and make Lin Mo happy.
Unless he dies, he will definitely do these two things as long as he lives.
Under the insistence of the two, Lin's parents finally compromised.
On the day of Gu Xun and Lin Fei's wedding, Jiang Qinfeng secretly picked a small flower from the bride's bouquet and clumsily turned it into a small ring while the pastor was reading the vows on stage.
The green stems are tied in a circle, with pale yellow flowers perched at the top.
Jiang Qinfeng took the ring, nervously pulled Lin Mo's hand, and slipped it on.
Lin Mo, whose gaze had been fixed on the stage, looked over and said, "Brother Qin Feng, you are..."
Upon seeing a finger adorned with a small flower ring, Lin Mo blinked and instantly became speechless.
As Jiang Qinfeng was being stared at like that, his handsome face slowly heated up, and he stammered out a question.
"Mo, Mo, will you marry me?"
Lin Mo blinked again, and then suddenly her face turned even redder than Jiang Qinfeng's.
Even the hand wearing the ring was completely red.
He looked left and right, but dared not let his gaze fall on Jiang Qinfeng.
But her hand obeyed her heart, tightly gripping the man's large hand and refusing to let go.
He answered in a muffled voice.
"Great, absolutely wonderful."
Over the next few decades, the two went through thick and thin together, experiencing arguments and temporary separations, but they always reconciled in the end.
Jiang Qinfeng has always upheld his belief in protecting Lin Mo and making him happy, treating Lin Mo well day after day for decades.
Until... Lin Mo passed away.
He watched as the person on the hospital bed stopped opening their eyes to speak to him and smile at him.
She stopped teasing him about his awkwardness and said things like, "If I don't want you, you might stay single for life."
She would never again say to him the words she had been unable to say since being hospitalized: "Brother Qin Feng, when can we go home?"
Jiang Qinfeng cried.
From that moment on, he felt as if, in this world, there was no one but Lin Mo.
There was truly nothing or no one left that he could still cherish.
So he took Lin Mo's ashes with him and chose to sink them at sea.
Just like the ending of the protagonist in the movie that Lin Mo really liked, the vast ocean carried them away from their pain and bid them farewell to this world they had no attachment to.
Chapter 52
Gu Xun and Lin Fei (Part 1)
Lin Fei and Lin Mo are four years apart in age, and both of them attend private comprehensive schools.
Its educational facilities, teaching staff, and curriculum richness far surpass those of other schools.
But it has one drawback: it's messy.
The children who can attend school here must come from families with good financial conditions.
This subtly creates a class stratification.
Once classes emerge, conflicts and struggles will follow.
When it comes to children, it manifests as talented individuals competing fiercely, while those without talent become arrogant and domineering.
Although the Lin family children disdained to get involved, Lin Fei could not tolerate such an event happening before her eyes.
So, this girl, who had loved Taekwondo, Sanda, and martial arts since childhood and had received a lot of training, applied for the position of disciplinary committee member at the school.
He became the leader of an anti-tyranny squad that used violence to combat violence.
For a time, he was the most popular person on campus.
But if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
On a sunset evening, Lin Fei was surrounded.
He wasn't a student, but a hoodlum.
It's obvious that she was hired by someone who hates her to teach her a lesson.
Twenty strong and robust men were clearly outmatched by her, a petite and delicate girl.
The men had even started imagining the image of Lin Fei crying and begging them for mercy.
Even Gu Xun, who was passing by, wondered if he should step in and help. After all, the idea of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress was quite amusing.
However, what happened next left everyone speechless.
Five minutes...
A group of people were lying on the ground.
Screams filled the dark alley. The thin girl clicked her tongue and turned to the side.
The setting sun bathed her in its light, giving her a captivating charm that transcended gender.
Click—
Gu Xun took a picture of this scene with his phone and immediately sent it to Lin Mo.
Gu Xun: Holy crap! Lin Mo, look! This little girl is amazing! She took down twenty men all by herself! Incredible!
Then Lin Mo was quiet for a few seconds.
A voice message came through: "Damn it! Gu Xun, that's my sister! Someone's bullying my sister! You just stood there and watched?! You took pictures! Didn't you even try to help?! Don't you know anything about chivalry?!"
Gu Xun: Your sister?
Lin Mo: You bastard!
Gu Xun: Be good, stop fooling around. How could someone with such poor physical condition have such a strong, muscular younger sister?
Lin Mo: What do you mean, "muscle Barbie"?! My sister is super cute, okay?!
Gu Xun turned his head and saw Lin Fei with one foot on the thug's chest and her arm on her knee, saying, "Tell the guy behind you not to cause me any more trouble. Otherwise, if he piss me off, I'll make sure he goes into the academy standing up and leaves lying down!"
The thug hurriedly begged for mercy: "I know, I know, please spare me, grandma! Please spare me, little ancestor!"
Lin Fei released her foot, put her hands in her pockets, pointed her chin at the alley entrance, and said in a deep voice, "Now that you know, why don't you get lost—"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll get out right away, I'll get out right away!"
Watching the thugs flee for their lives, Gu Xun hid behind the outer wall and replied to Lin Mo: "Yeah, they are indeed very cute."
Even the adorable boy couldn't resist taking out a cigarette from his pocket to calm his nerves.
When Lin Fei came out, she saw a tall and extremely handsome young man with one leg bent and stepping back against the wall. He was slightly hunched over, with a cigarette between his long, clean fingers. He had a dejected yet extremely beautiful air about him.
Oh wow, it's the feeling of being smitten.
Lin Fei blushed.
Girls her age love watching idol dramas and are completely powerless against these melancholic and beautiful boys.
I wouldn't say I like it, but I definitely yearn for it.
And if someone has a handsome male friend like that, she'll definitely be the envy of all the girls around her.
So she took out her phone, pulled up her WeChat QR code, walked up to Gu Xun, and coughed to get his attention.
Then her eyes darted around twice, and her pretty face flushed slightly.
Finally, holding her phone in both hands, she looked down to cover her face and said to Gu Xun, "Handsome, can I add you on WeChat?"
Gu Xun was taken aback.
To be honest, he hasn't been asked for his WeChat in a long time.
Because those who know him understand just how cold-blooded and wicked he truly is.
He pretends to be a decent person, but in reality, he's a scumbag that everyone hates.
I've received countless love letters and gifts since I was a child, but I've always torn them up and thrown them away in front of the recipients, without exception, they all end up in the trash can.
Over time, no one dared to show him any kindness anymore.
Few women even dare to approach within three meters of him.
