Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui was alone on the beach picking up shells, thinking that Sweetheart would be very happy if she brought all these beautiful shells back to her.

After cleaning the shells, she went ashore and looked for Fu Lingye for a long time before finding him on the back of a big tree.

He was sitting leaning against the big tree, with many cigarette butts at his feet, his face pale and cold. Even though his eyes were cold, they were not as sharp as usual, as if he was lost in some memories.

Mu Tongrui ran over and showed him the shells in the palm of her hand. “Look, I picked these for Sweetheart, are these pretty?”

Fu Lingye lowered his eyes and looked at the shells, without saying anything for a long time.

Mu Tongrui asked worriedly, “Lingye, what's the matter with you? Did I upset you?”

His mood was not very good since morning, but Fu Lingye's attitude toward her last night was at least so much better than it was now.

She had always had a good temper in front of people she liked, not to mention that she knew she liked Fu Lingye first, and now Fu Lingye's feelings toward her were not as deep as her feelings toward him, so she was willing to tolerate him, and was also willing to swallow her pride to please him.

But Fu Lingye just replied indifferently, “You didn't upset me.”

As Mu Tongrui looked down, she saw a black burn mark on his thumb and index finger. She took his hand and asked, “What happened to your fingers? Did you accidentally burn them while smoking?”

However, if he got burned by the cigarette accidentally, his skin would turn red at most, and yet it had turned dark now as if it was caused on purpose.

She frowned, and said worriedly, “If you don't deal with the burns, there will definitely be blisters. Let's go to the clinic to get it dressed and ask the doctor to change the ointment on your back injury.”

She pulled him to get up, and yet he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
