My beautiful girl information is updated at any time

The worst-case scenario of leaving is self-evident.

She only asked that love not be forgotten.

Chapter 169 Chen Yajie is the Bride

Before dawn, Lin Mo quietly left Li Qingran's embrace.

She had been fighting off sleepiness, determined to watch him leave, but Lin Mo's judgment of whether she was happy or not forced the girl to go to sleep.

Lin Mo looked at her sleeping face with her brows furrowed, wondering if she would have nightmares, and whether the girl would cry again when she woke up in the morning and found him gone.

The girl who is usually the calmest can also be the most extreme when she goes crazy.

If Lin Mo hadn't been a little more resolute, he would have fallen for Li Qingran's beauty by now.

She tucked the girl in, closed the window, and stepped out of the home that Li Qingran had meticulously decorated and managed. Outside, it was still pitch black.

I'm pretty much all alone now. After enjoying so much excitement, it's time to return to the solitary life I started with.

He first went back to the apartment he rented in the city. The single room was simply furnished; he had only settled in yesterday.

Besides the simple furnishings, there was also the sound of a baby dog ​​barking.

Lin Mo's gaze fell on a dog cage containing a small, all-black Mongol puppy, also known as a "local dog," which was only one month old.

He got this mongrel from an old scavenger who liked to feed stray dogs yesterday. Out of consideration for their past friendship of collecting garbage together, the old man gave him this best-looking puppy.

He picked up the dog cage and rushed to Li Qingran's villa. After confirming that the girl hadn't been woken up and was lying on the balcony, he placed the dog in front of the gate, put it in a cardboard box, and wrote "Seeking Adoption" on it. It actually looked quite convincing.

It's not over yet.

Under the cover of night, Lin Mo took a bus to the suburbs.

This is considered an unlicensed taxi, charging over a hundred yuan for a 20-30 kilometer trip. However, since it was during the Spring Festival, most of the passengers were commuters who were late getting home from work and had to rush to catch the bus.

The car was a bit smoky and dusty; since it wasn't New Year's Eve, most people were covered in soot and dirt. Lin Mo blended in quite well.

The road was clear, and the sound of firecrackers grew louder and louder. While the scenery wasn't exactly picturesque, the festive atmosphere was definitely stronger than in the city.

"Master, stop the car."

The car stopped. Based on the information, Lin Mo knew that Chen Yajie's grandmother's house should be this mud-brick house in front of them.

If this were in the city, it would definitely be labeled as a "level X dangerous building," but in the countryside, only this kind of house is comfortable to live in, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Chen Yajie wasn't lying to him. There was a stream in front of the door and two peach trees in the yard, but it wasn't the season for them, and all the leaves had fallen.

There was a chicken coop, a pigsty, and several guard dogs. Lin Mo had assumed the dogs would bark at him, and even considered using his [Aura] to shut them up.

As it turned out, these dogs, just like their owner, were soft and friendly, as if they could tell he meant no harm; they simply watched him approach the door and looked him over.

The room was quiet; it seemed the timing was perfect, and no one inside was awake.

Having experienced several heart-wrenching scenes involving beautiful young women in one day, he no longer had the strength to face the gentlest Chen Yajie.

He couldn't bear to let the girl excitedly run back to the city to see him, only to have her joy turn to nothing and she suffer the pain of heartbreak...

All I wanted was to leave a letter at her doorstep, with a jade Buddha statue inside...

The jade bodhisattva was the one Chen Yajie encountered for the second time. The young girl, trying to repay a debt, foolishly gave him the jade pendant she wore around her neck.

In fact, Lin Mo didn't even need to write a letter; he just brought this jade Bodhisattva. Chen Yajie probably understood.

He hesitated for a long time in front of the door, and every time he wanted to put it down, Chen Yajie's little crying face would appear in his mind.

The girl he had seen cry the most was Chen Yajie, and he knew how pitiful she looked when she cried.

The thought of the girl waking up early with boundless energy, carrying bags and bundles to go find him, only to find this letter at the door...

She'll definitely cry.

Lin Mo couldn't bear it.

His heart, which had been numbed by the four girls, did not grow colder; on the contrary, this was the moment when he was most tender-hearted.

Take a deep breath,

There's no turning back now, so...

Suddenly, the dog in the yard barked a few times, startling Lin Mo. The barking wasn't loud, and it didn't seem like it was trying to scare away strangers... it sounded more like it was calling for its owner...

Sure enough, the two dogs wagged their tails excitedly and rushed out of the yard in front of Lin Mo. Then, a small light appeared in the distance, accompanied by a girl's soft, slightly tired laughter, which was delightful to hear.

broken.

"Wangcai, Wangfu~ Why aren't you asleep yet? You're waiting for me~"

Why isn't Chen Yajie asleep yet? Even if she's staying up all night, shouldn't she be inside...? Why did she come back from outside?

The girl had a small flashlight clipped to her head, probably because she had just come back from the mountains in the dark.

It's almost dawn, just getting light, but it's only a little past five in the morning...

"Alright, alright, you can't eat this. This mushroom is for Lin Mo... Wangcai! No! You can't have even a single one!"

"oops..."

Unexpectedly, one of the dogs snatched a yam from the girl's basket. Chen Yajie had to chase after the dog, giving Lin Mo no time to run away, and they bumped straight into each other.

At the gate of the courtyard, the two looked at each other.

Chen Yajie was stunned, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.

"Lin...Lin Mo!"

What are you doing at my doorstep?

"I..."

Is it okay to say you were just passing by?

"Oh, I know~ You must have got it wrong? What we talked about on the phone, visiting relatives and friends for the New Year, meant Ya-Jie was going back to the city to wait for you, not that you were coming to the countryside..."

As Chen Yajie spoke, she frowned with some concern, "Sigh, I should have explained it to you more clearly. Although this place isn't far from the city, you must have come here in that minivan... It was very expensive."

"But you're here way too early. You probably didn't sleep well last night... It's not a good time to wake Mom and Grandma. I came back to wash these local specialties, but I didn't expect to run into you, Lin Mo..."

Chen Yajie pursed her lips in distress.

"Hmm... Okay then, Lin Mo, wait a moment. I'll quickly wash these mushrooms, bamboo shoots, yams, and taro, and then I'll take you on a tour of my hometown~"

The girl quickly smiled sweetly. Although the sun hadn't risen yet, Lin Mo felt warmer than the sun itself.

"No..."

"Oh, you're welcome. Since you're already here, take a rest. It'll only take a little while."

Chen Yajie patted her hands, which were covered in mud from climbing the mountain, onto her pants, then pulled Lin Mo to sit on a bamboo chair. The girl, on the other hand, sat on a small stool by the stream, moving quickly and efficiently.

Lin Mo swallowed the very words that would ruin the atmosphere and quietly watched her retreating figure.

Her delicate features were completely at odds with this kind of rough work; even though her clothes were filthy, it couldn't hide the girl's clever and lovely temperament.

This gentle and well-mannered young woman, with her inherently simple and honest nature, is what makes Chen Yajie so unique.

She inherited her mother's diligence and virtue, and her performance at school was simply that of a studious and inquisitive person. It was only after returning to the countryside that Lin Mo truly saw her most authentic and beautiful side.

In this world, to have a wife like this is a blessing that cannot be accumulated even in several lifetimes.

Lin Mo, however, was unwilling to give her the most complete love.

The babbling brook masked the girl's weary breaths, leaving only her petite figure elongated by the fading moonlight.

Lin Mo couldn't help but ask:

Why are you up the mountain in the middle of the night?

"Hmm~ this..." The girl tilted her head slightly, smiled shyly at him, and continued washing the mushrooms.

"Because it's been raining these past two days, my mom told me that there must be a lot of mushrooms growing in the mountains. These mushrooms are very expensive, and there are so many people returning to the village these days. They'll definitely be rushing up the mountain to dig them during the day!"

“I was afraid they would dig up all the mushrooms, so I came tonight to dig some up in advance.”

"That's dangerous at night too, there's no need..."

“Yes, it is,” Chen Yajie immediately retorted. “Lin Mo, it’s very necessary.”

She smiled, her deep, affectionate eyes sparkling as she looked back at him.

"Because it's a New Year's gift for you."

Lin Mo was stunned.

"Eh~ I'm a little embarrassed to say that..."

She blushed and turned her head away, picking up a bright red mushroom. "Look, this is called a red mushroom. It can be used as medicine or to make soup. The soup made from this kind of mushroom is especially sweet! And the soup is red!"

"Hmm...when Lin Mo leaves, I'll bring you another chicken. We can make a soup with this yam and red mushrooms; it'll be super delicious!"

She was clearly very happy, and the happier she was, the more Lin Mo felt stuck in his throat.

"When I was little, we called this 'bride mushroom,' because it has a red veil, just like a bride..."

As the girl spoke, her ears grew increasingly red, as if she were thinking of something.

"Lin Mo, I wanted to ask you something. You came to see me in such a hurry... is it because you really want to see Ya Jie... and have something you want to say to me, right...?"

"Have."

"Well... um, let's talk about it later. Ya Jie will take you to see the scenery in the mountains later..."

The words fell,

Chen Yajie washed a mushroom several times, her movements no longer as nimble as before, her little hands numb from the cold stream water.

It wasn't until Lin Mo approached from behind and put his arm around her shoulder that the girl suddenly snapped out of her daze.

What could it be? Should I hug her? But she's all dirty right now, so maybe I shouldn't... Should I kiss her from behind? That's fine too. Her mouth is clean now, but it might be a little dry since she hasn't had water in a while...

My heart is pounding. What will Lin Mo say? Will he say he likes her? Will he say he loves her so much...?

But Lin Mo didn't do as the girl expected; instead, he silently placed a cool, refreshing necklace around her neck.

The familiar jade face, the familiar jade Bodhisattva—all of this left Chen Yajie momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say...

"Remember this?"

"I...I remember..."

"Yes, I was just teasing you back then. Now I'm returning the Bodhisattva to you."

"Why... Lin Mo, I've given you the Bodhisattva, so it's yours now..."

If I give you my heart, then it's yours.

Why do you want to return it to me...?

Returning a gift is very impolite; it's only done when there's a complete and utter severance...

"I'm leaving."

"..."

"Is this all Lin Mo wanted to say? Isn't there anything else he wanted to say to Ya Jie?"

The girl sensed something was wrong and nervously turned to look at him. Her small hand reached out half an inch but then stopped, as if she wanted to hug him, but then hesitated, considering her hands were wet and she didn't want to get his clothes dirty...

"Let's go now... I've already got everything ready. If you don't want to go shopping, I'll pack Lin Mo's things first... Just wait a little while, I'll be quick..."

"There's no time to catch the chicken, let me collect some eggs for you first, or would you like to stay a little longer? I'll catch a chicken for you to take home..."

As she spoke, Chen Yajie tried to get up, her body trembling slightly.

"That's not what I meant." Lin Mo grabbed the girl's arm.

"I won't be staying at school anymore, so you won't be able to contact me for a while."

"..."

"Not at school... um, but we still have the college entrance exam, right..."

"I'll go back during the exam."

"Then Lin Mo isn't staying at Wan Feng's anymore... How come I can't contact you?" The girl realized something, her speech quickened, or perhaps she couldn't believe it and tried to explain to Lin Mo.

Looking at her so closely, Lin Mo realized that the girl seemed very tired. There were faint blood vessels in her beautiful eyes, like the patterns on a peach blossom. It wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it gave her the feeling of a sickly beauty.
