Although she had long known that Lin Shuang had always been irreplaceable in his heart, she had never thought of replacing Lin Shuang, she just wanted to care about him occasionally when the person he liked was away.

Coupled with Mother Lin's support, Shen Muhan did not reject her approach, but she knew in her heart that his attitude had nothing to do with him gradually accepting her, he just hoped that she would often come to accompany Mother Lin.

Mother Lin was naturally sad without her daughter, especially when the moon was full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she often looked out of the door with empty eyes, as if she was waiting for a person who had traveled far away.

That kind of pain can't be diluted by time.

Although in order not to make Shen Muhan sad, in order to make him feel better, Mother Lin always pretended that she had forgotten, and always pretended to treat him as her own son.

But she won't really be sad, even if she really regards Shen Muhan as a son, she can't erase Lin Shuang's position, she is her only daughter, the child she brought up from childhood.

Nope.

The loneliness and sadness in Mother Lin's eyes will be sad for anyone who sees it, and it is impossible for Shen Muhan not to see it.

Qin Qing smiled bitterly, she didn't know whether this distance was good or bad, the good thing was that she could finally get a little closer to him openly, and the bad thing was that she knew that he wouldn't give her anything.

His people, his heart, the second half of his life.

She may live like this for the rest of her life as a sister close to Mother Lin's daughter Shen Muhan, but the closer she gets, the more reluctant she is. She even devastated that even if he needed a stand-in, she would be willing.

Even if she wants to live in the shadow of Lin Shuang for the rest of her life, she is willing.

As long as he occasionally shows a little smile at her company, occasionally when he is alone, he knows that there is still her silently following behind him. Or one day when he is tired and sad, he can tell her what is in his heart.

But neither.

He was always indifferent in front of her, he never took the initiative to show any bad emotions in front of her, even if it was a rainy night, he was just standing there at the bus stop alone.

Looking at the crowd coming and going, he didn't say a word.

He was reluctant to show his feelings in front of her, and every time he was lonely and sad, he didn't know that she was there, and then when he found her, he didn't say a word or remained silent.

Then a person leaves.

She was a transparent person in his eyes.

They were only close to the distance between her feet and his, but their hearts were getting farther and farther away, and his words and deeds were even more cold and detached than before.

The only thing that goes a little more is probably politeness.

But she didn't want that politeness.

The little distance they narrowed just made her see his feelings for Lin Shuang closer and more truly, eternal and unchanging, whether that person was in his heart or not, it was no longer with him.

That person is there. His heart was with her.

The man was not there. His heart went to hell with her.

He was so cruel that he didn't even give others a chance.

After seeing it with her own eyes so many times, and seeing the scenes that made her feel cold so many times, Qin Qing couldn't count the situation now that it was only a few years.

The one time she remembered more clearly was when Shen Muhan went to her school to give her an umbrella.

At that time, she had quit her family job to teach at their school, and she even alienated her mother for him and Lin's mother.

At that time, she thought he was here to give her an umbrella. At that time she almost thought she was about to impress him. His heart was about to be warmed by her.

But she waited in the classroom for more than ten minutes. The students were almost gone, but he still didn't come.

She called Lin's mother to confirm that he had come to this school.

But the time should have come a long time ago. She was a little worried and hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage to call him, but no one answered, she looked up at the rain outside the door and turned to go out to look for him.

I happened to meet a young female teacher in the hallway, and her boyfriend didn't know that she had brought an umbrella and brought her another one, so she lent her his own umbrella.

The scene of the two snuggling up to each other and walking into the rain made her eyes red in an instant.

Such a simple act is such an ordinary scene, she thinks that there is someone who holds an umbrella with her, walks together for a while, listens to the murmuring of the rain, and watches the splashing of water.

But she knew that man would never do this to her.

Who called her a pathetic supporting character.

She thanked her and walked down the steps with the sky-blue umbrella, the rain outside was indeed not small, crackling on the umbrella, and a layer of water had accumulated under her feet.

She frowned as she walked through the long hallway, over the rockery, past the edge of the flower bed, through the path planted with cherry blossoms, and finally saw the long figure on the lawn in the backyard of the school.

He was still dressed in black, holding a black umbrella, holding an umbrella in his hand, and standing with his legs straight under a large plane tree, he stared at the plane tree with his back to her and his head slightly bowed.

It hadn't moved for a while.

It's like looking for something on a tree trunk.

She was stunned for a moment and walked over with an umbrella.

Shen Muhan didn't feel that there was someone behind him, maybe he heard footsteps, but he didn't have time to turn back, because his eyes were firmly fixed on the thick trunk of the sycamore.

Qin Qing glanced at the trunk twice, the thick trunk was clean and shiny under the rain, and there was a place where the bark had fallen off and turned smooth white.

There are some messy scratches on it.

Although it was not clear to Qin Qing, it was clear at a glance, those should be the names of some students, and there were many examples of them carving words on trees when they were students, although she had not done it.

And Shen Muhan's serious expression seemed to be trying to find someone from those names.

As soon as this idea came out, her heart suddenly stopped, and her head seemed to be stuck with a projection tape.

He was looking for Lin Shuang's name.

She looked at the scratches a little closer, only a few were clearly visible and could recognize the names of people, and the rest were unrecognizable, and then she looked at Shen Muhan, "She shouldn't be able to carve on the tree."

Then he withdrew his gaze.

Shen Muhan's back stiffened for a moment, and he regained his composure for a moment, and only turned back after a while.

He had probably sorted out his emotions, and when she saw him, he didn't have any special expression on his face, calmly as if he had just been in a daze for a moment.

He seemed to let out a soft "oh", and it seemed to be just her delusion.

She was about to say something.

But he had already turned around and walked away with his umbrella.

Not a word was said about her.

I wasn't even interested in finding an excuse of "why is it raining and I'm here alone in a daze", I didn't ask her how I found here, I didn't apologize for making her wait so long.

He didn't even know she had called him.

But she had expected him to at least surprise the umbrella in her hand, but he seemed to have forgotten that he had come to give her an umbrella, and she had never had anything in his heart.

Even she has never been in his eyes, even for a moment.

She looked at the man's back, and her heart was empty for a moment.

No wonder he would listen to Mother Lin's words and give her an umbrella.

It turned out that he had long known that this was the primary school that Lin Shuang had attended.

He just wanted to come and see her past.

Look at her he hadn't seen before. (To be continued.) )
