He stared fixedly at Lin Wanwan . Different scenes flashed past his mind .
She helped “him” cut his hair, accompanied “him” to play games, cracked jokes to “him”…
Fu Zhinian knew everything . He could also feel her care, concern, and love for “him . ”
Warmth flashed past Fu Zhinian’s eyes . He looked touched, but it eventually turned into a thick sense of complicatedness .
Lin Wanwan squeezed out a slight smile on her face . “You’re back . ”
“… Yes . ”
His thin lips moved, and he eventually didn’t say anything else .
When he walked past Lu Zhanbei, who was standing at the door, Fu Zhinian didn’t stop in his tracks at all, as if he didn’t exist . The temperament that radiated from his body was colder .
Lu Zhanbei closed his eyes and suppressed all the emotions in his heart .
“Wait!” Lin Wanwan suddenly called out .
Fu Zhinian stopped but didn’t turn his head back . “Is there anything else?”
She was used to the cute little puppy’s careful look of desire for care and love . Lin Wanwan actually felt uncomfortable with the change now .
After a while, she asked, “Is it really that difficult to face your true self?”
Fu Zhinian’s body stiffened .
“Everyone could wear a mask . However, we can’t hide our softest sides in our hearts and use a cold and indifferent gesture to hurt the loved ones around us . Humans are social animals . It’s natural to desire for care, love, and companionship . How long more do you want to hide your natural desires? You have been escaping for so long . Aren’t you tired?”
“…” The hands by Fu Zhinian’s sides were tightly clenched into fists . Veins were visible on the back of his hands, and his emotions were rolling .
The next second, he turned around fiercely . “On what basis are you here to lecture me?”
“I’m just…”
Fu Zhinian didn’t give her a chance to explain at all . His expression was like that of a wounded lone wolf, and he let out a stubborn and sorrowful roar .
“Do you think you know me well? I’m not a pitiful worm lacking love . I don’t fancy being pitied by anyone . Even if I’m alone, I can live well!”
He strode away . Lin Wanwan could clearly feel a trace of vulnerability from his back .
Lu Zhanbei walked over and wrapped her hands with his big palms . “You don’t have to worry anymore . I’m alright . As long as he’s happy . ”
Lin Wanwan sighed . “Lu Zhanbei, you’re another one who keeps up appearances to cover up your own predicament . ”
He obviously cared about his brother as well . However, he was unwilling to express that . This must also be one of the reasons why Fu Zhinian became schizophrenic .
“You mentioned before that the reason why Fu Zhinian turned out like this was because of your father . Is it convenient to tell me the details?”
If it was in the past, Lin Wanwan might not have cared .
However, after interacting with the cute little puppy for a very long time, she wanted to help him very much .
“Let’s talk while walking . ”
“Ok . ”
On the way back, under Lin Wanwan’s incessant asking, Lu Zhanbei spoke .
“He used to be called Lu Zhinian . Regardless of whether it’s me or him, we have received the most vigorous training since young . What family fun, what father-and-son relationship, it was impossible for us to experience these things at all . Under that kind of sullen and suppressive environment, he became more introverted and quiet by the day . Signs of autism appeared as well .
“Until the age of eight . Something happened . ”
Lin Wanwan listened quietly…
“There was a traitor in the Lu family . The old man felt that Zhinian was too soft and lacked the traits of a descendant from the Lu family . He gave him a gun and got him to kill that person to train his courage . ”
Lin Wanwan’s heart tightened . Let an eight-year-old child kill someone?
Lu Zhanbei massaged his temple . After he spoke about this incident, his look uncontrollably became colder .
