Trembling, she finally had a chance to touch the face she had longed for a long time, but never dared to touch.
Cheng Min immediately burst into tears.
“It’s great that you’re alive. But why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you come back? Do you know how sad I was when I thought you were dead?”
Cheng Min greedily touched Leng Yihuang’s face, crying while laughing.

Lin Xiaomi stood in the hallway, not moving one more step.
The apartment was quiet, which made her feel a little scared.
In the past, whenever she came back, she would either see that man lounging on the sofa watching TV, or hear him complaining about her coming back late even before she saw him.
But now she had stood in the hallway for a while, while she didn’t heard anything in the apartment.
It was not until her legs were numb that she stepped stiffly in.
On the sofa were needles and blankets that she had not had time to tidy up yet.
His pajamas were thrown all over the floor.
It must be he who was so angry with her that deliberately messed up the room after she left that morning.
Lin Xiaomi could not help crying. For the whole day, she tried to suppress the tears, which burst out at this moment.
All the room was full of memories between them.
She used to feel him annoying when they lived together.
He always enjoy bulling her.
Every time she was so pissed off by him, he, thick-skinned, always kissed her by force.
Whenever she tried to throw him out, he always found a way to let her go back on her word.
In fact, she did not really want to do it. She was also lonesome. For these years, she always lived alone, so she’d like to have some company.
Just like him, he would take care of her when she was sick, tolerate her when she was angry, tease her when she felt bored, and comfort her when she was sad. Even he could support her when she was short of money, as if by magic. Most importantly, he would remember her birthday.
And, he could also make the fried rice with eggs even though it tasted awful.
Lin Xiaomi lay on the big bed, with the air full of his smell.
She choked with sobs. It was really heart-rending to lose him.
She missed him so much.
He always pestered and bullied her, even shamelessly asked her to be responsible for him after having sex with her.
But now, she owe him a life. She indeed wanted to be responsible for him, but why didn’t he come back?
“Lin Hai, you bastard! Why didn’t you listen to me and leave? You told me you are great and invincible, aren’t you? Then why did you die? Come out! You said I owed you 1497 times. I’ll pay you back when you show up. Come out!”
Lin Xiaomi was so overwhelmed with grief as to wish she were dead with Lin Hai.
She didn’t treasure him when he was by her side; she didn’t know he was so important for her until he was gone.
It was just because she wouldn’t like to admit the matter before.
Every woman hoped to have a happy ending with her childhood sweetheart, so did Lin Xiaomi. As a result, she missed the one who should be cherished most.
He suddenly bumped into her life, and now so quietly left.
Now, what was she supposed to do?
Staying in the room filled with the memory of Leng Yihuang, Lin Xiaomi felt she was insane, because she seemed to hear his voice everywhere.
In the kitchen.
“Was the food ready? I’m gonna be starved! Why don’t you come back early to cook for me?”
In the living room.
“What the hell of this program you’re watching? Such a old-dated story! Change the channel!”
In the room.
“Honey! The bed is big enough for us. Let’s sleep together!”
In the bathroom.
“Why not wash my underpants with yours together? We have even taken a bath together! What are you shy for?”
Lin Xiaomi slumped on the ground, with her arms tightly around the knees, crying uncontrollably.
Then, the doorbell was ringing.
Lin Xiaomi suddenly looked up, thinking that she must have had an illusion.
When the doorbell rang again, Lin Xiaomi hurriedly climbed up from the ground and ran to the door in anticipation. She thought it must be Lin Hai!
“Lin Hai!” Lin Xiaomi opened the door. Seeing the person standing outside, she felt disappointed.
“Xiaomi? What’s wrong with you? What happened?” Wen Jing stood at the door, looking at Lin Xiaomi incredibly.
Lin Xiaomi looked gaunt, with her eyes red and swollen, her face as pale as the wall and her clothes wrinkled. She looked so distressed.
"Xiaomi? What’s the matter with you?” Wen Jing stretched out to catch her.
“Hi, Wen Jing. It’s you. Why did you come here?” Lin Xiaomi looked at her and asked faintly.
“You haven’t been to work for four days, and your phone didn’t put through. Sun Ru came and asked me about you angrily. He also asked me to tell you that you had to go back to the company and tell him by yourself even if you wanna quit.”
Lin Xiaomi slowly nodded and sat on the sofa. With the whole body curled up together and the head against the knee, she looked a little freaked.
“Xiaomi, could you tell me what happened? I’m worried about you.”
“My grandma was gone, so was Lin Hai. Now, I am alone.”
Wen Jing was surprised to hear that, “How could this be? Your grandma’s death was so sudden. But who is Lin Hai?”
Lin Xiaomi shook her head faintly, covered herself in her knees and didn’t say anything more.
Wen Jing said in a hurry, “There, there. I know you feel bad now, then lie in bed for a while, Ok? I’ll cook for you.”
Lin Xiaomi didn’t move. The bed was full of his smell, so she was afraid of bursting into tears again.
Wen Jing went into the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles for Lin Xiaomi, “I know maybe you have no appetite.
But you have to at least eat some, or else you will get ill. Look! Just for a few days, you have lost so much weight that I barely recognized you. In this way, you will easily fall ill.”
Hearing that, Lin Xiaomi finally realized that she couldn’t get ill, because she hadn’t avenged their death yet.
Taking a bite of the noodles made by Wen Jing, she suddenly thought of that day when she got allergic to the emergency contraception pills, then she deliberately bullied him by asking him to make sliced noodles for her.
He was so mad but helpless, and made it over and over again all the afternoon. Finally, he reluctantly manged to make a bowl of it and bring it to her.
Lin Xiaomi gobbled the noodles and forced herself to finish all of them. Then, she went to bed.
When she was asleep, Wen Jing received a message, “Is she doing well?”.
Wen Jing’s eyes went dim and she replied, “Not really good. She’s a little out of mind!”
She was about to send it, when she thought for a while and added, “She kept calling the name, ‘Lin Hai’.”
Trembling, she finally had a chance to touch the face she had longed for a long time, but never dared to touch.
Cheng Min immediately burst into tears.
“It’s great that you’re alive. But why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you come back? Do you know how sad I was when I thought you were dead?”
