Chapter 19: The Secret of the Garden

"Today is your birthday, my mother wants to give you a special gift, all I can think of is roses, other than this, I really don't know what to give you!" The woman smiled kindly, touching Lin Zimo's head and explaining.

"But why are they roses every time?" Xiao Lin Zimo was a little dissatisfied, every time his mother said this, but he never changed the appearance of the gift.

"Don't you like it, do you want to know why your mother always gives you roses as birthday gifts?" The woman picked up Xiao Lin Zimo and sat down on her lap.

Xiao Lin Zimo stared at the woman's eyes as if he didn't understand, and he really wanted to know what the reason was.

"Because my mother likes red roses, and red is the same as people's hearts, my mother wants to tell you that people's hearts must be red, and only in this way will you live happily. ”

Although Lin Zimo didn't understand the meaning of his mother's words, Lin Zimo understood when he grew up, and her mother didn't want him to be like his father.

"Mom, since you like roses so much, can I plant red roses for you in the house I bought in the future?

Xiao Lin Zimo joked about it, but he didn't expect to really do it later, but it's a pity that his mother can't see it anymore, and his mother probably can't imagine that the garden has always been a hurdle that Lin Zimo can't overcome.

Back to reality, An Ning listened to Lin Zimo talking about that dusty memory, Lin Zimo's hand was still around An Ning's shoulder, but his face became very heavy, and he seemed to be very reluctant to mention his past.

"The last thing my mom said when she left was to ask my dad to take good care of me, even if it ...... I didn't hear it at all!" Lin Zimo said lightly, he never cried and was sad in front of Anning.

An Ning looked at Lin Zimo blankly, Lin Zimo's sad side made An Ning feel warm, Lin Zimo would only show his vulnerable side to the people he believed.

An Ning's hand slowly put up Lin Zimo's neck, hesitating, as if he didn't know whether he should comfort him, but after hesitating, An Ning still put his hand up.

Leaning his head on Lin Zimo's thick chest, all the hatred disappeared at once, is this Lin Zimo's purpose?

"An Ning, I'm sorry, there is an insurmountable wound for me, I'm really angry that you strayed into it......" Lin Zimo's reopening made An Ning pause his movements suddenly.

She didn't hear her wrong, right? Lin Zimo actually said to her...... I'm sorry! That might ...... It's the first time! An Ning closed her eyes very satisfied, if Lin Zimo could treat her a little more, even if it was just a little, she would feel happy.

"An Ning, no matter where you go in the future, please remember that I, Lin Zimo, have liked you!"

An Ning suddenly raised her head and stared at Lin Zimo in shock, if she was dreaming just now, then is it hopeless now?

This sentence was something she never dared to think of, but now, it was actually said by Lin Zimo in such a serious tone at a close distance from her.

Lin Zimo ...... Why are you willing to admit that you like me until now?" An Ning's eyes were fiery on Lin Zimo's face, but Lin Zimo never opened his eyes, as if he had spent too much strength and courage to say this.

"Lin Zimo ......" An Ning spoke again, she wanted to know the reason, because she was about to leave here and leave him.

"Let's go! Don't come back if you leave!" In An Ning's surprised eyes, Lin Zimo strode out and disappeared behind the door as if fleeing.

But An Ning didn't leave, she promised Lin Zimo to stay here for one night, so she couldn't break her promise, after a long time, Lin Zimo didn't let people drive her away, and at night, it was Mother Liu who knocked on her door.

The reason was to call her to eat, and Anning's things had been packed up, but she didn't dare to go out, as if she was afraid to see Lin Zimo's black and white eyes, looking at the indifference in his eyes that had not changed for many years and then fell deeper and deeper.

"Miss An, come down to eat, the young master is waiting for you." Mother Liu's title has changed, and after hearing Lin Zimo's name, An Ning raised her eyes.

Mother Liu wanted to speak and stopped, An Ning didn't know what to say, stood up, Mother Liu turned around and wiped her tears and wanted to go down, but An Ning called out to Mother Liu.

"Mother Liu......" An Ning's tone was full of reluctance, as well as sadness, and Liu Ma's tears were even more uncontrollable, but she turned her back to An Ning and didn't show it.

An Ning slowly approached Mother Liu, every step seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife, she walked over, opened her arms, and hugged Mother Liu from behind, Mother Liu was stunned, and also reached out to hold An Ning's hand.

"Mother Liu, I can't ...... it" neither said that she was reluctant to Lin Zimo, nor did she say that she was reluctant to Liu Ma, but how could Mother Liu not know, and even if An Ning didn't hold her and say it, she already regarded An Ning as her own daughter.

Mother Liu patted the back of An Ning's hand with her hand, comforting An Ning, all the words were not as real as a subtle action, Mother Liu didn't say anything, the two hugged for a long time, and Mother Liu finally reluctantly let go of An Ning's hand.

"Let's go, the young master is still waiting for us!" The afterglow of the let gone hand was still there, and An Ning didn't say anything, and followed Mama Liu downstairs with her head down.

The corridor became so long all of a sudden, that An Ning felt out of breath after walking a few steps, and followed Liu Ma downstairs, Lin Zimo was already waiting for An Ning at the dining table, and glanced at the food on the table casually, An Ning was stunned all of a sudden.

She loves to eat the dishes, and some of them even take days to prepare the ingredients, and she has to start making them the night before.

An Ning was so moved that she didn't know what to say, judging from such a dish, Lin Zimo had been preparing it for her all along? As long as she came back, Lin Zimo would let people serve it as soon as possible.

An Ning covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would not be able to control her voice and cry bitterly, but even this could not prevent the tears from blurring her vision.

"This is specially prepared for you, in the future, maybe you can't eat it if you want to, this is all Mama Liu's craft......" Lin Zimo stretched out his hand to invite An Ning to be by his side, and An Ning, who hesitated for a long time, still handed his hand out.

"Anning, you have to forget that today you are not Anning, and I ...... It's not Lin Zimo, we're just an ordinary couple who want to have a meal together!"

Lin Zimo said, but what he actually wanted to say was that we live in a family that we can't control, and our fate cannot be reversed, but we can forget the identities of those fetters, as well as the enviable family background, and just be an ordinary couple.

An Ning seemed to understand what Lin Zimo was thinking, picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.

Lin Zimo kept watching her eat, and after seeing An Ning eating, she also began to move her chopsticks, and after a meal, the two of them didn't say a word, and they tacitly finished the meal.

Mother Liu has been hiding in the corner and watching the whole time, the hand on her mouth is shaking, and tears are pouring out.

After eating a good meal, Liu's mother served tea to the two, but Lin Zimo took An Ning's hand and walked out.

"Do you like roses, I think it's the most beautiful scenery in the world!" Lin Zimo asked himself, An Ning stared at Lin Zimo suspiciously, not understanding why Lin Zimo would ask such a strange question.

"Let's go, I'll take you into my heart......"

In An Ning's shocked eyes, Lin Zimo pulled An Ning and ran into the garden behind, here...... It used to be his forbidden place, and he couldn't cross the hurdle.

An Ning, who walked to the door, stopped, remembering the scene that night, An Ning took a step back in fear, and the wounds on her body that had healed seemed to be alive, protesting, that was where her fear was.

Lin Zimo felt An Ning's rejection, and seemed to understand the reason for An Ning's fear, and straightened An Ning's shoulders so that he and himself looked at each other.

The height difference of the golden ratio, in the eyes of outsiders, is such a match made in heaven, but I don't know why the two can't walk together.

Lin Zimo's big hand on An Ning's forehead, as if he wanted to soothe the wounds in her heart, An Ning closed her eyes and enjoyed the hard-won tenderness, but she still felt that the pores of her whole body were stretched, absorbing the gloomy cold around her.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that!" Lin Zimo apologized distressedly, An Ning didn't know why Lin Zimo would tell her so many sorry today, as if he had finished saying all the sorry he owed since he met him in one day.

An Ning opened her eyes and stared at Lin Zimo, neither answering nor saying forgiveness, because no one knew better than Lin Zimo, no matter what she did, what Lin Zimo did to her, she would choose to forgive unconditionally.

Glancing at the small garden, the roses in it were in full bloom, red was originally a very bewitching color, and it was even more dazzling at this time, An Ning retracted her gaze and looked at Lin Zimo, as if she was asking for Lin Zimo's consent, could she really go in?

After getting Lin Zimo's acquiescence, An Ning pushed open the iron door with his hand, and the moment it was opened, Lin Zimo's heart door seemed to be opened.
