Chapter 975 Zhou Lin's Breakdown
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Alright, stop crying,” Zhou Lin said. “Sit on the sofa for a while. I'll go to the room to pack my dad's things.”
“Alright,” as Yun Xi spoke, she let go of Zhou Lin and walked to the sofa to sit down obediently. Looking at Zhou Lin's back view as he went upstairs, the corners of her mouth unconsciously revealed a smile. This time, she could finally accompany Zhou Lin by his side.
Yun Xi sat in the living room for a few minutes. Seeing that Zhou Lin had not come down, she finally could not stand the boredom and got up to go upstairs.
“Zhou Lin, why aren't you done yet?” Yun Xi said as she walked. Seeing that no one answered, Yun Xi thought that Zhou Lin was busy and did not hear her, so she quickened her steps and walked into the room.
Yun Xi opened the door and the scene in front of her gave her a big scare.
He saw Zhou Lin sitting limply beside the wardrobe, his eyes slightly red. If Yun Xi had not called him, he would not have even realized that Yun Xi had already come to his side.
“Zhou Lin! Zhou Lin, what's wrong?” Seeing him like this, Yun Xi was so frightened that she hurriedly pounced on him. She hugged Zhou Lin and kept asking him what had happened.
However, Zhou Lin did not say anything. He hugged Yun Xi and sobbed softly.
Yun Xi did not know what had happened, but seeing Zhou Lin like this, she felt her heart ache. She no longer asked Zhou Lin what had happened. When Zhou Lin was willing to tell her, he would naturally tell her. At this moment, she only wanted to give Zhou Lin a warm embrace, to give him a space to cry out loud.
Zhou Lin took a long time before he slowly stopped crying. Seeing this, Yun Xi hurriedly helped Zhou Lin to a chair at the side.
Zhou Lin sat down slowly and looked at Yun Xi with his slightly red and swollen eyes. Then, he slowly took out the photo that he was holding tightly in his hand and handed it to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi took the photo in surprise and looked at it carefully. The photo had already turned yellow. It was obvious that it was a photo from many years ago. The corners of the photo had been worn out, and the content on it had also become blurry after years of erosion.
Yun Xi looked at the people in the photo. Although she could not recognize their faces, she could tell that they were a family of four. The couple in the photo looked very loving. Beside them were two little boys, one older and one younger. Yun Xi could feel their joy at that time.
“What is this?” Yun Xi could not help but ask.
“This is a family portrait of our family,” Zhou Lin said as he glanced at Yun Xi.
At this moment, Yun Xi seemed to have understood something. The reason why Zhou Lin had lost control of his emotions was probably because of the woman in the photo, who was Zhou Lin's mother.
Yun Xi was only guessing and did not dare to ask Zhou Lin. If it was really as she thought, would that not be rubbing salt on Zhou Lin's wound?
Ever since he got together with Zhou Lin, he had never mentioned his mother. Not only Zhou Lin, but the entire Zhou family had never mentioned her. Yun Xi had also thought of asking Zhou Lin, but she gave up several times. She did not want to touch Zhou Lin's most painful part.
“The woman in the photo is my mother. If I hadn't seen this photo, I would have almost forgotten what she looked like.” Zhou Lin lowered his head and said.
The moment Zhou Lin said that, Yun Xi knew that her guess was right. She looked at Zhou Lin, her eyes full of heartache.
“Zhou Lin, if you're willing, can you tell me about your mother?” Yun Xi asked carefully.
Zhou Lin slowly raised his head and said, “Do you really want to hear it?”
Yun Xi nodded with certainty.
“But I can't remember her.” As Zhou Lin spoke, he once again fell into a mental breakdown.
“If you can't remember, then I won't talk about it. I won't listen to it either. Don't be like this, okay?” Yun Xi said, her heart aching. She blamed herself for making him tell.
Looking at the girl whose eyes were filled with guilt, Zhou Lin's heart couldn't help but soften.
“It's not your fault, Yun Xi. Just give me a little more time, okay?” Zhou Lin looked at Yun Xi and realized that his emotional state today might have frightened Yun Xi.
“Alright, you cam tell me when you're ready. I'll always be waiting for you,” Yun Xi said.
Zhou Lin looked at Yun Xi and forced out a smile. He slowly got up and walked to the wardrobe to put the photo back.
Yun Xi looked at him from behind. At this moment, just Zhou Lin's back view made Yun Xi's heart ache.
By the time the two of them finished packing up, it was already late.
“Xixi, it's getting late. I'll send you back! Otherwise, uncle and Auntie will be worried,” Zhou Lin said.
“But I don't feel at ease with you like this.”
“I'm already an adult. What's there to worry about? I'll be fine once I adjust my emotions,” Zhou Lin said.
“No, the more you say that, the more I'm worried.”
