Sweet Adorable Wife, Please Kiss Slower! Chapter 1563 - the origin of love, goes deep (2)
“One’s intention to be beaten and another’s willingness to suffer, what could you possibly comprehend?”
Lin Wanwan made an effort to recall the boy’s countenance, yet no matter how she strained, his image eluded her. The only detail she retained was his exceptional handsomeness, which had drawn the attention of many young girls. Despite this, he had always gravitated towards her.
“He was discovered all alone at the orphanage’s entrance, likely abandoned. At that time, my face remained disfigured, and my friends were gradually adopted, leaving me with no one to play with. He was the sole companion who stayed by my side until the day he vanished.”
Lin Wanwan spoke at length, a touch of nostalgia coloring her voice.
“I searched for him extensively, but he never reappeared.”
Lu Zhanbei inquired, “Then, how did your facial appearance improve?”
“I’m uncertain who dispatched three bottles of an ointment for my scars; it proved remarkably effective. Once my face healed, I began working, saving funds for my education, and ultimately ventured into the entertainment industry.”
Lu Zhanbei then asked, “Do you still recall the name of that young boy?”
Lin Wanwan concentrated her thoughts. “He shared your surname. As for his name, he refused to divulge it, so the Dean bestowed a nickname upon him…”
Observing her furrowed brow, Lu Zhanbei parted his thin lips and uttered two syllables, “Bei Bei.”
“Yes, it was Bei Bei!”
Lin Wanwan exclaimed with delight, clapping her hands. Recollecting herself, she queried, somewhat bewildered, “How did you ascertain that?”
Lu Zhanbei regarded her, a mysterious smile gracing his features.
A sudden spark of realization ignited within Lin Wanwan. Bei Bei’s innocent face materialized in her mind, progressively merging with Lu Zhanbei’s visage.
She stood utterly flabbergasted!
“Lu Zhanbei, you are Bei Bei?”
“You have finally remembered.”
Lu Zhanbei embraced her tenderly. “My apologies. My departure back then was not intentional; I was weary of my parents’ so-called elite upbringing and had fled home. If circumstances had permitted, I would have gladly remained here with you for eternity. Alas, Lu Zhengyu eventually located me.”
Lin Wanwan blinked. “So, you were the one who sent someone to deliver that ointment?”
“Indeed.”
A wave of understanding washed over Lin Wanwan. “Then, you have harbored feelings for me since that time.”
“Yes.”
In truth, how could a mere child comprehend affection? At that age, he simply found the time spent with Lin Xiao exceptionally joyful and desired her constant presence.
Each day they were apart, his thoughts were consumed by her.
Too young and inexperienced then, he dared not articulate the longing in his heart. The only recourse was to leverage Lin Xiao’s prior assistance by having Fu Wanyi deliver the salve to treat the scars marring her face.
Nevertheless, it was undeniable that Lin Xiao had always held a special place in his heart.
Upon their reunion, she had already embarked on her journey into the entertainment industry.
A mere glimpse from afar sent his heart into a frenzy as he witnessed her steady rise to fame.
Just as he finally felt he had amassed sufficient strength and could offer her a brilliant future, she perished in a traffic accident.
In that instant, Lu Zhanbei’s world turned entirely bleak.
Fortunately, fate had intervened on his behalf.
Lin Wanwan entwined her arms around Lu Zhanbei’s waist, her eyes sparkling with mirth. “So, our fated connection began so long ago.”
“This is what is called destiny.”
“Yes!” Lin Wanwan rose on her tiptoes and planted a kiss upon his lips. “Though I have expressed it countless times, I must reiterate: It is wonderful to have known you, Lu Zhanbei.”
Never before had she harbored such unwavering certainty that she could spend a lifetime in happiness with Lu Zhanbei.
Lu Zhanbei lowered his head and kissed her softly, exercising caution not to embrace her too tightly, lest he put pressure on her already slightly rounded belly.
Bathed in the warm sunlight, their intertwined shadows stretched languidly across the ground.
