She knew that Lin Mo's hesitation in agreeing yesterday meant he must be hiding something.

I don't know if Lin Mo went back to her bedroom or ran out. If she ran out, she probably went to the orphanage...

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I just need to trust him..."

"A happy marriage for a hundred years."

Reading the words on the purse, even though she couldn't see them clearly, Jiang Wanfeng knew what was written on it.

"Jiang Wanfeng and Lin Mo, may you have a long and happy marriage."

"I love you the most..."

Chapter 87 Qingran, you'll die without you

The computer screen flickered lonely and emotionless.

"Dynamic light wave~ beep beep beep, beep beep beep..."

"Ah, I'm dead..."

"Shin-chan! You can't hit Daddy!"

"It's okay, Misae, play with him for a while."

"Oh no! I forgot to take Xiaobai for a walk!"

"Shin-chan, haven't you fed Shiro yet?!"

"Big-butt mommy~ Monster old lady!"

In the pitch-black night, in the pitch-black room, the girl curled up in a chair, clutching her favorite doll, a purse hanging from her pale neck.

The purse was squeezed flat; she had already squeezed it many times.

Looking further up, without any lights, even Li Qingran's stunningly beautiful face remained hidden.

Only the light from the computer screen remained, taking away the vibrant colors from her eyes.

In the cartoon, the little potato boy gets caught and beaten by his mother.

This was a very sweet and funny scene. Li Qingran's original intention was to watch cartoons to alleviate her loneliness.

But looking at the happy families in the animation, which only exist in our imagination,

Li Qingran just felt that it didn't look good anymore; the cartoon wasn't good.

Since I got home this afternoon, I've already switched between several anime series, and even Shin-chan doesn't look good anymore...

Has she grown up?

Becoming an adult is really this boring, really this tiring...

The adults didn't seem to like watching it, and Lin Mo rarely watched it either; he mostly watched it while keeping her company.

She thinks it's beautiful because she's so naive.

And every time Lin Mo watched the animation further in, he would just stare at her, saying how beautiful she was, how much he loved looking at her, and how he could never get tired of looking at her...

She was very happy at that moment. Her beauty only had value when she was with Lin Mo. She was happy that she was beautiful.

Looking back now, it was actually because animation was boring for him; he was just accommodating her.

She no longer felt happy about her good looks; she was simply grateful that she was beautiful and that Lin Mo liked her.

Besides that, what exactly makes her so likable?

She was just a girl who wasn't welcomed by anyone, wasn't welcomed by the world, had a strange personality, stuttered, and never smiled.

Fairy tales and family are all just ways he indulged himself.

This was a fact that Li Qingran had to admit. She gradually came to understand everything, and today she finally understood it completely.

A girl just like her, the one who took care of Lin Mo when she wasn't by his side.

Oh no.

Unlike her, that girl took care of Lin Mo, but Li Qingran was constantly troubling Lin Mo.

When Li Qingran makes a decision, she always follows her heart first. After making a decision based on her heart, she then reflects on whether it was the right thing to do.

Why do you want to do this?

Why should we give Lin Mo up today?

That girl is more deserving of Lin Mo's care, while she, besides being pretty and causing Lin Mo trouble, is good for nothing.

Fortunately, Lin Mo is with that girl, so he should be happy.

So her superpowers didn't disappear.

As long as Lin Mo is happy, that's all that matters.

But... if Lin Mo is happy, why isn't she happy because of it?

Because that person wasn't even Ya Jie, or Yu En?

Li Qingran shook her head, a sharp pain shooting through her lower abdomen. She remembered she hadn't eaten mooncakes yet.

I didn't eat dinner either.

However, the moon was obscured by clouds, and Lin Mo was nowhere to be seen; she had been living like this for many years.

Mooncakes without Lin Mo's mooncakes probably won't taste good.

Her attention returned to the animation; everything seemed calm on the surface.

The girl tried fast-forwarding through the animation, thinking that perhaps the next episode would be even more interesting.

After all, it's her favorite cartoon. Shin-chan is the happiest child in the world, and watching him makes her happy too.

If we had to find a motive for her doing this, perhaps it was resentment.

What exactly she was unwilling to accept was perhaps the unwillingness to give up her favorite animation, perhaps the unwillingness to let Lin Mo leave her, perhaps the unwillingness to not eat mooncakes, or perhaps... she didn't know.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...

She never released the fast-forward button, and honestly, she didn't remember what the animation actually contained.

I just feel so bored, so incredibly bored.

“Patta, patta…”

A few tears fell onto the back of her hand, not as cool as raindrops, but carrying her body heat.

But Li Qingran's first reaction was to look at the ceiling. She felt she wouldn't cry because the ceiling was leaking...

Oh, no.

Her eyes itched, and tears welled up on their own. It wasn't that she wanted to cry; it was just that the tears were mean, naughty tears, leaving her so childishly.

"Qingran, you're an adult now..."

Adults, don't cry.

But she was so scared.

Why do I no longer like watching my favorite anime?

Does this mean that even the things we like most will become tiresome, forgotten, and eventually boring, and we'll gradually stop liking them...?

She had always cherished everything Lin Mo had given her, and she still would.

She also firmly believed that Lin Mo liked her just the way she was.

But, but, it turns out that feelings of affection can expire.

Will Lin Mo's feelings for her expire?

No, no... Li Qingran told herself.

The cartoons aren't very good today, so I'll just play games first.

Play, play that game with a little family...

The girl operated the computer and opened the game. During the game, she was so nervous that she pulled the mouse out of her hand several times.

Since it was her first time playing alone, she didn't know how to get back to that little home she shared with Lin Mo...

If Lin Mo were here... it would be much easier.

She clicked randomly and still managed to get into the game. She was initially happy, but once inside, she discovered...

"Heh... Hoo..."

My home is gone.

Where is home?

Where is this place? Her snow-capped mountains, her coastline, her piglets and calves, the cozy home she and Lin Mo painstakingly built, the bed where they could sleep together—where are they?

where is it?

Why are there only trees here? It's so dark. There's no one else here. Where is Lin Mo?

It must be hiding, right? It definitely is. How could its house be missing? It's playing hide-and-seek with her. She just needs to find it, she'll definitely find it...

The girl couldn't calm down.

They had no choice but to frantically search in this unfamiliar world.

But all the experience he had accumulated was so useless in this world without Lin Mo's protection.

Why is Mr. Zombie hitting her? Why is Mr. Skeleton shooting her with an arrow? It hurts, she's going to die...

Don't fight. We're friends, and we already agreed on something...

Why is the little black creature so scary? The Creeper doesn't seem to be crying; it seems to be here to kill Steve. It's so dark at night, the zombies' voices are terrifying, and the spiders are scary too. Why are there no stars in the sky? Why is it raining...?

"Woo..."

After being killed countless times in the darkness, Li Qingran was so frightened that she fell off her chair, twisting her ankle, but she dared not move.

Everything, everything without him, is terrifying.

I'll die, I'll die.

She no longer likes the things she once loved, and the home they built together is gone. Li Qingran, she'll lose everything...

She grabbed her phone and started pressing buttons randomly, trying to call Lin Mo and tell him she didn't want him to leave, no, she didn't want him to leave no matter what, she didn't want to be an adult.

The phone won't turn on.

But she still pretended, holding the phone to her ear as if she were talking to Lin Mo, her voice choked with sobs and her breathing erratic.

"Lin Mo... Qingran misses you so much..."

"Qingran will die without you..."

"My home is gone..."

"Please come keep Qingran company... Qingran doesn't want to die..."

"Ugh... Waaah..."

The floor was so cold. The girl hugged her sprained leg, curling up into a small ball.

Shin-chan's life is so fake it's disgusting.

The game is fake too.

Only Lin Mo is real.

No other brands, including those by girls, Ya-jie, or Yu-en...

Lin Mo is her...

Chapter 88 I love you, so you have the power to hurt me.

Just as Lin Mo had thought,

When he rushed back, he didn't see the aloof yet adorable, sometimes quirky and mischievous Li Qingran.

Only one remained, a little girl filled with negative emotions, so sorrowful she seemed abandoned by the world.
