630: Chapter 629: Just Want to Take One More Look!
Wang Lan from the convenience store across the street watched Lin Xia and the others go back and forth moving things to the car, and couldn’t help but walk over, “Lin Xia!
Let give you a hand!”
Lin Xia smiled and declined, “Auntie!
No need!
We have so many people here!
You should keep an eye on the store!”
“It’s fine!
My niece is inside!” Wang Lan felt inexplicably sentintal, “Lin Xia!
We’ve been neighbors for so long, and seeing you guys move away all of a sudden, knowing we won’t see each other again, it just doesn’t feel right in my heart!”
“It’s okay, Auntie!
Who knows, we might co back for a visit!” Lin Xia had deep feelings for this place that had been their first ho.
If it weren’t for the Wu Family living next door, she wouldn’t really care about selling the house.
Wang Lan nodded firmly, “Right!
In the future, whenever you pass by, stop by my convenience store for a visit!”
“Sure!” Lin Xia agreed cheerfully, whether she would actually co back was another matter.
Wang Lan moved her lips and decided to speak her mind, “I’m a nosy person who loves to gossip and laugh.
If I’ve ever offended you guys, please don’t take it to heart!”
Lin Xia chuckled, “Auntie!
Being neighbors was a kind of fate!
Let’s forget about the past!
I’ve said so unpleasant things myself!
Let’s not take it to heart…”
Lin Xia and the others had packed everything they wanted to take into the truck, and as the sound of the vehicle’s doors closing echoed, the driver got into the driver’s side and started the vehicle.
Lin Xia and her three siblings did not hurry to leave, instead, they silently watched–for the last ti–this place they had lived for years, this place called ho!
They were leaving today, and perhaps they would never set foot here again, each of them filled with various degrees of sentintality and bitterness.
This place held too many mories!
There were good ones and bad ones!
Laughter and joy, as well as sadness and tears!
Especially Lin Qiu, who was the most touched!
Her relationship with Wu Zhengyang next door had been through a lot, flashing before her eyes were those sweet and painful monts, which now could only turn into a sigh.
Lin Xia sensed the change in the emotions of her sister standing beside her.
She put her arm around Lin Qiu’s shoulder and said with deliberate lightness, “Xiaoqiu!
Let’s take the car!
We’ll have those two guys frantically chasing us on their bikes!”
Lin Qiu understood why her sister said this; she sniffled, tears mingling with laughter, and nodded, “Right!
Let them chase after us!”
Lin Dong exaggeratedly lanted, “Big sister!
Second sister!
Even if I pedal so fast I fly, I can’t catch up with the car!
You guys should tell the driver to take it easy!”
Lin Chun joined in, “Yeah!
Tell him to slow down!
Otherwise, if the car gets there and we strongn haven’t, you two are going to have to unload by yourselves!”
“Dream on!
You eat two bowls more than us at every al, we’re counting on you to do the work now!
Hurry up!
Stop dawdling!” Lin Xia winked at her two brothers and pushed Lin Qiu into the car.
Lin Chun and Lin Dong exchanged cheerful glances and each pushed their bicycles to the side.
At that mont, nobody expected Wu Zhengyang to co back riding his bike!
When Lin Qiu saw Wu Zhengyang, her expression froze for a mont, then she quickly looked down and avoided his gaze!
Actually, seeing Wu Zhengyang now did not leave her feeling calm!
Especially after she had just reminisced about those past mories!
You could say that this place held all the beautiful mories she had with Wu Zhengyang, as well as all the painful ones.
But what could she do about it?
In the end, she and he were just the most familiar strangers!
Wu Zhengyang clutched the handlebars of his bike tightly, his eyes unwavering as he stared at Lin Qiu, who was looking down in the cabin.
He knew that Lin Qiu’s family had sold their house, and he knew they were moving out today.
Early in the morning, he stood in the yard and listened to the sounds of moving and packing up next door.
He couldn’t help but desperately wanted to see Lin Qiu again!
Even if it was just to look at her, without saying a word, it would be fine!
However, after calming down later, he went to work with Miao Xue as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Because he didn’t want the day the Lins moved to be anything but smooth!
But when he got to the office, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and couldn’t concentrate on anything.
In the end, he still followed his heart and left the office.
He just wanted to see Lin Qiu one last ti!
To catch one glimpse of her!
Even if he could only keep the image of her in his heart as a treasured mory, it would be worth it!
Lin Xia sighed inwardly; until now, she simply couldn’t call Wu Zhengyang a bad person!
It could only be said that he was too foolish in certain matters, giving those who sched against him an opportunity…
which ended up completely destroying their love…
Lin Xia spoke calmly, “Driver!
Let’s start the car and go!”
As the car slowly passed by Wu Zhengyang, Lin Qiu kept her head down, pretending not to be aware that he was standing right there.
Lin Xia, on the other hand, glanced indifferently at Wu Zhengyang.
With that one glance, she saw the deep pain in Wu Zhengyang’s reddened eyes and even noticed tears falling.
Lin Chun and Lin Dong, each riding a bicycle, passed by Wu Zhengyang.
Both harbored a deep hatred for the man who had hurt Lin Qiu, and despite seeing his tears, they couldn’t muster a kind expression for him!
Wu Zhengyang watched their retreating figures, his lips trembling, his teeth clenched, not making a sound until they completely disappeared from his blurred vision…
Lin Qiu was silent all the way, and Lin Xia did not disturb her.
She knew that her sister verbally expressed rationality, claiming to have completely let go of Wu Zhengyang.
But emotions are complex, and no matter how logically one speaks, it doesn’t necessarily an the heart can truly follow suit.
Nobody can easily adopt a light-hearted attitude towards soone they once deeply loved, soone who has caused them pain!
So wounds, even when they’ve scabbed over, can still hurt when they are unexpectedly touched…
Soon, they reached the building where the third-floor apartnt was located and began unloading the car.
Lin Chun and Lin Dong were tasked with moving the large items upstairs while Lin Xia and Lin Qiu handled the smaller items they could carry.
On her second trip down empty-handed from the third floor, Lin Xia had just reached the first floor when she saw Song Yinran and Song Zhiya standing at the open entrance of the building, talking to Lin Chun and the others!
“Uncle!
Cousin!
When did you guys get back?” Lin Xia wiped the thin sweat on her forehead and asked in surprise as she saw them unexpectedly appear.
She and Lin Qiu had co earlier to tidy up the apartnt and hadn’t seen them then.
Song Yinran laughed heartily, “We just got back this morning!
Your aunt didn’t know we were coming back!”
As soon as he heard that Luo Yue had given birth, he rushed to wrap up his affairs, eager to get back as soon as possible.
To him, this stepdaughter was as dear as his own.
Lin Xia smiled, “No wonder!
I was wondering why my aunt didn’t ntion it!”
Song Yinran had just returned and had only heard a brief account of Lin Xia and the others’ situation from Luo Xinyan.
“Lin Xia!
You guys are fast!
I heard you were moving and here you are!
Co to your uncle’s place for dinner after you’re done; your aunt has gone to the market to get so groceries!”
