Chapter 1182: Lin Nuo Ran Away

Chapter 1182: Lin Nuo Ran Away

“Oh… I thought that was just a dream…”

Su Kexin’s emotions fell into a complex state again, a mix of flavors and an indescribable bitterness.

It was true, her bedmate had really gone through all these things, and she had been completely unaware, even laughing to herself, thinking he was doing great.

She was wrong, terribly wrong.

And now the heavens had revealed this to her; it was destiny’s arrangement, the gap between them was gradually closing.

She felt she should do something, but didn’t know what.

She couldn’t change the past, nor could she erase her Senior Martial Brother’s memories and make him forget those painful experiences.

What else could she do?

“Senior Martial Brother, come a little closer. I have something to tell you.”

“You can just say it. I can hear you.”

“Um… come a bit closer; I want to tell you a little secret.”

“There’s no one else here, so what secret could it be?”

Lin Nuo wouldn’t comply with her. What were you plotting, little brat? Were you trying to outsmart me?

Fine, if you’re going to chop me, how could I even get up? If it was time to act, I would have been gone already.

Seeing that Lin Nuo wouldn’t budge, Su Kexin took matters into her own hands.

Her move was quick; she directly hugged Lin Nuo. After so many dreams, Lin Nuo was a bit out of it and was immediately caught in her embrace.

Then Su Kexin buried his head in her chest.

Su Kexin’s chest had developed just enough—it wasn’t a flat runway, but it wasn’t like a mountain either, just some gentle curves.

“What are you doing?”

“Senior Martial Brother, you’ve been through so much pain and hardship. Now, I’m here for you. It must have been so lonely and hard for you alone before.”

Su Kexin tightly hugged Lin Nuo, attempting to comfort him with this simple gesture.

She couldn’t do much else; this was her way of doing her part.

“Senior Martial Brother, don’t worry. You’re not alone anymore.”

“I’m not alone; I’m still a dog, you know?”

“No, that’s not what I mean… I just mean, Senior Martial Brother, you’re not lonely anymore. I will stay with you. If you have anything to say or share, I’m here listening. Um… I might be a bit dense sometimes and not get your meaning, but I’m definitely willing to be your listener. You’ve kept so much inside; it must be tough for you.”

Su Kexin rubbed her head against Lin Nuo’s, skin-to-skin connection and heart-to-heart dialogue. After this dream, they could truly get to know each other again.

Usually, Lin Nuo would break free from this, and Su Kexin hadn’t yet reached her peak state to hold him tightly enough.

But he didn’t pull away; he was obediently held by her, though he complained verbally, his body didn’t resist.

Perhaps he was gradually accepting Su Kexin. After all, how could you not accept someone you shared a bed with?

However, Lin Nuo didn’t intend to be completely open.

In truth, it wouldn’t matter how much he told Su Kexin; he didn’t want to share with anyone.

That was his nature; although he sensed her care, he wouldn’t fully reveal his heart.

“I’ve said all I could say; the rest… don’t pry into it. If you want me to feel better, just don’t bring it up.”

Lin Nuo said, reaching out to caress Su Kexin’s fair face.

“Sleep now, let’s not talk anymore. Whatever happened in the past, it’s irrelevant to you. You’re not her.”

“Senior Martial Brother… I really want to hear your story…”

“No need; just sleep. Do you want to have fun? My tragic tale can’t make you happy.”

“No, no, no… that’s not what I meant… I just want Senior Martial Brother to feel better… Alright, alright. I won’t ask anymore…”

Su Kexin realized that if she pressed further, it would be like rubbing salt into Lin Nuo’s wounds, so she decided to drop it.

Sigh, those were not easy memories, and making him recount them would only make him relive the pain.

Sigh, look at me, so clueless.

It seems I need to learn more. As the future wife of my Senior Martial Brother, how can I make him completely devoted to me without these qualities?

“Senior Martial Brother, is this hug uncomfortable for you?”

“Do as you wish; it’s whatever to me.”

“Um… then, Senior Martial Brother, goodnight… love you.”

Su Kexin planted a kiss on Lin Nuo’s cheek, then fell asleep while hugging him.

Lin Nuo didn’t say much; he definitely wouldn’t express such lovey-dovey sentiments—was that something a person like him could say?

Isn’t that like regurgitating last night’s meal?

So cheesy, so disgusting.

Thus, Su Kexin spent a night in the ancestral house.

…

The next day.

“Senior Martial Brother, good morning… um…? Senior Martia—??”

The sunlight outside poured onto Su Kexin’s face as she stretched her body, only to find Lin Nuo missing.

Gone, he was gone.

“Senior Martial Brother, where are you?!”

Su Kexin panicked. What was going on? She had clearly fallen asleep holding Senior Martial Brother, so how did she wake up to find no one?

“Senior Martial Brother! Senior Martial Brother! Grandpa!”

Seeing that calling Lin Nuo didn’t work, she switched to calling her grandpa. They had all gone to sleep early last night and seemed to have overlooked him.

“Ah, Kexin, you’re awake.”

Someone was knocking on the door; it was her grandpa’s voice.

“Grandpa, you’re here! I… wait a moment!”

Su Kexin hurriedly changed her clothes and opened the door to see her kind, amicable grandpa.

“Grandpa, did you see Senior Martial Brother? I woke up this morning to find him missing; he was right there last night, I slept next to him!”

“That young man…”

The old man hesitated a bit, reluctant to hurt Su Kexin. He almost wanted to lie and say Lin Nuo was wandering around the village, but that wasn’t true; he had already left the village.

“Kexin, he left early this morning.”

“He left? Where did he go! Grandpa, why didn’t you wake me up?!”

Su Kexin exclaimed, shocked. What was happening? Why did Senior Martial Brother leave without a word?

“He told me not to disturb your rest. Also, he left a letter with some words for you to see. Sigh, he left so suddenly for his own reasons. Kexin, you don’t need to worry too much; he said he would be back soon and asked us to head home first.”

“Letter? Let me see!”

Su Kexin took the letter from her grandpa’s hand, quickly tore it open, and saw the handwriting was undoubtedly Lin Nuo’s; no one could imitate it.

“What is this… Senior Martial Brother, why did you suddenly leave me? Can’t I go with you? Why do you always use my abilities as an excuse? I can overcome it…”

Su Kexin quickly finished reading the letter, feeling very sad. While the words were few, their meaning was clear.
