Chapter 40: 040 No Intersection_1 Chapter 40: 040 No Intersection_1 “My house… my ho…” Lin Xiangwan wailed despairingly, as if bidding farewell to soone very dear to her.
Hot, passionate tears stread down her face, quickly tracing twin trails down her cheeks. Standing atop the wreckage, she didn’t care about the dust in the air, continuously expressing remorse, saying, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I failed to protect you all. I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Qin Muchuan watched everything with a sneer, thinking this woman knew how to put on quite a show.
Nevertheless, he had no intention of enjoying the spectacle. The thought of soliciting such a woman made him feel like he was going mad.
Luckily, she had rejected him; everything could be redeed.
“Let’s go,” he coldly ordered the driver.
The luxurious nanny car turned around on the spot Lin Xiangwan occupied and left rcilessly…
……
In the morning, at Jiangcheng City airport.
Intermittently-recited public service announcents in Chinese and English echoed across the bustling crowd. This sight of travelers bidding their loved ones goodbye always exuded a tinge of lancholy.
“Mommy, you must take good care of yourself while I’m away. Rember to eat and sleep on ti and cut down on snacks!” Lin Haoran, who was standing at the airport, reminded her worriedly. Their house had been destroyed a week ago, and her mother had been feeling down ever since. He felt it was inappropriate to leave her at this ti.
However, this half-month sumr camp in Sanya was his first appearance in the ‘Yutong Study Grant Program.’ The event was important, and he couldn’t afford to miss it!
Lin Xiangwan handed him his boarding pass, cutting him off irritably. “You better care for yourself. Don’t go there and lose things, calling for help. I can’t be in Sanya to find things for you. Here, keep your ticket safe!”
She deliberately tried to appear stern, not wanting her son to worry.
“Mom, can you act a little more appropriately given our circumstances? At least match up to this farewell scene? We’re at an airport, for heaven’s sake! This is my first ti traveling alone. Can’t I show how much I care and worry about you, and how much you’ll miss when we part ways?” Lin Haoran lanted shaking his head, whispering under his breath.
“Separation? Is that what this is? Aren’t you coming back?” Lin Xiangwan casually retorted, thinking the ti apart would be short. “During your trip, I can finally take so ti for myself, maybe get a makeover, change my hairstyle, and even go on so blind dates. I need to find a life partner! I probably won’t even have ti to miss you. Son, I really want to tell you, don’t think too highly of yourself!”
“Mom…” Lin Haoran called out, sounding particularly aggrieved.
The mother hastily silenced her child, making a shushing gesture. “Don’t make a fuss; others are watching. You’ll give away your unease. Don’t forget, this journey has a purpose. Pay attention to your aura…”
“OK!” Lin Haoran quickly suppressed his childlike deanor, showing a cool expression. “Well, I’m leaving. Bye! I’ll bring you a gift when I return!”
Having said that, he donned his sunglasses with his coat and casual pants, like a celebrity, hoisting his suitcase and following the event organizers towards security.
The mother, who had stayed behind, kept watching even though she could no longer spot his small figure. Muttering softly, she said, “Darling, mommy will miss you. Have a safe trip! Don’t forget about . Think of every day, ok?”
As she spoke, tears of sadness began to flow down her face.
Darn it, she had promised herself not to cry. Why was she still crying?
As Lin Xiangwan wiped away her tears intending to leave, she unexpectedly bumped into soone… an utter jerk!
Talk about crossing paths with a nesis!
Qin Muchuan, who had just seen his daughter off, was also surprised to bump into her here.
In just a week’s ti, she seed to have lost considerable weight, her chin looking as sharp as if she’d had costic surgery.
Seeing her teary-eyed made him wonder, who had she co to see off? Song Yichen?
Lin Xiangwan ignored him, turning and heading towards the exit.
This man was nothing but a beautifully wrapped pile of shit she had accidentally trodden on. No matter how delicately it was wrapped, it was still shit.
She would learn her lesson, brush off the dirt from her shoes, and refrain from stepping on it ever again.
As for the rest, she wanted to rember nothing.
Qin Muchuan, on the other hand, acted as if he didn’t know her and walked towards another exit.
To him, this woman was just an ordinary scene he had mistakenly perceived as paradise. In reality, she was nothing more than a commonplace road divider.
If she was so unbearably common, why would he bother wasting his ti?
The two of them hurriedly departed— walking out the exit, with one turning left, and the other going right, as if they would never cross paths again…
………
Trying to appear calm, Lin Haoran sat in his seat as if he were an experienced flyer.
However, this was his first flight!
He’s heard that the sumr camp attracted many privileged girls, offering him the perfect opportunity to marry into wealth. He had to seize this chance.
Therefore, he needed to pay attention to details now—
Take for instance his seat. His choice had been the middle seat (a middle seat would give him access to two people; he could work on both when necessary)
Right enough, a girl dragging a small suitcase soon approached his seat.
With her long dress, graceful stature, and refined beauty, she looked quite attractive.
The eyes hiding behind her sunglasses twinkled with a green sparkle.
Well, well, the target has appeared!
“Little sister, are you sitting here?” Lin Haoran raised his cheeks, maintaining a 45-degree angle – an angle at which he looked his handsost.
“Yes!” The girl blushed upon seeing the adorable boy and nodded.
“Let put your suitcase up there for you,” he offered, demonstrating his helpful side.
The girl nodded eagerly. “That would be nice… but…” She took a look at his height. “Can you reach up there?”
“Er…” Lin Haoran hadn’t anticipated this problem, leaving him at a loss for words.
Damn it, how could he have forgotten that he was still a shorty!
The girl laughed, “No worries, we can ask the stewardess for help!”
“Ah…” Lin Haoran felt a pang of disappointnt, his first demonstration attempt… ended in failure.
“But I still appreciate your sentint. You’re quite handso, what’s your na?” the girl asked.
Lin Haoran’s face lit up instantly as he replied, “I’m Lin Haoran, and you?”
“I’m Mi Duo!”
Lin Haoran reached out to touch the girl’s face. “Your skin is so smooth, delicate, just like milk!”
“Hehe, really?” Mi Duo asked shyly, her head dipped.
“Really, really! Your skin feels even better than my mom’s! Can I touch it again?”
“No!” The girl declined shyly.
