Chapter 645: You’re Not Allowed to Make Me Cry (2/2)

Lin Xiao suddenly glared at me frigidly before growling, ”Don’t tell me you’re hesitating because of him? What part of him do you fancy? I’ve investigated him, and yes, I know I’m sticking my nose in your business, but I found out that he’s living with three beautiful women right now! Hmph! You don’t deserve someone like him!”

My eyes widened, but I couldn’t say anything in defense of myself.

Lin Xiao continued to put pressure on me angrily, ”I dare you to say that you love my Yiyi. I dare you to say that you’ll care for her from the bottom of your heart. No? Then what can you sacrifice for my Yiyi? You’re just a weak brat you can’t even face your own feelings directly!”

”Stop talking already, dad…”

Lin Yixin cried after saying that. It was the kind of tears I never wished to see on her face. She looked at me and murmured, ”I’m sorry, Little Cheat, but I… I…”

I felt something in my own nose. ”Yiyi, I…”

Lin Xiao said, ”Yiyi, you’re still too young to understand love. The reason you’re with him right now is because this emotion seems fresh to you. You don’t really love him at all. When you grow tired of him, you will forget him completely yourself. Come with me to Vancouver, will you? Let us begin our new life there together.”

Lin Yixin bit her lips as tears poured down her eyes like a waterfall. She suddenly turned toward Lin Xiao and shouted, ”You bastard! How do you know I don’t love him at all? How dare you decide my feelings for me?”

Lin Xiao shuddered from head to toe. It looked like he had never seen his daughter this angry before.

”Yiyi…”

I called out to her and tried to touch her shoulder, but she dodged away as if she was pricked by electricity. Her eyes were closed, and tears slid down her cheeks soundlessly. Even now, she looked impossibly beautiful under the moonlight.

A long time later, Lin Yixin opened her eyes and asked me dazedly, ”Little Cheat, you can’t love me and me only, right? You won’t leave He Yi and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, right?”

My emotions were a jumbled mess. I thought of He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Xu Yang, Du Thirteen, High Fighting Spirits and more. How could I possibly abandon them?

”I… I won’t leave Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. I’m sorry…” I murmured.

Eyes cold, Lin Xiao said, ”Do you see that? This man won’t sacrifice anything for you. There is nothing positive about him. Give it up, Yiyi. He really doesn’t deserve you.”

Lin Yixin slowly closed her eyes and cried even harder than before. Her delicate shoulders jerked occasionally as tears slid down her soft skin.

A long, long time later, Lin Yixin finally opened her eyes again and stared at the swaying grass on the ground. She said quietly, ”Thank you for keeping me company for so long, Little Cheat. I was happy; really, really happy that you were there for me, hehe. But I need to go to Canada for my mom. I will be leaving your side for a very, very long time. Please forgive me, okay?”

I nearly broke into tears there and then. I was the one who failed her, and yet Lin Yixin thought that she was the one who owed me for leaving so suddenly.

……

I looked away just in case my tears broke loose. After controlling the urge to cry, I looked at Lin Xiao and asked, ”When are you departing for Canada, uncle? And how long will you be there?”

Lin Xiao stared coldly at me. ”Why do you want to know?”

I murmured, ”Yiyi is the most important person in my life. I care about her.”

Startled, Lin Yixin’s tears started dripping again. There was about 5 meters of distance between us, and neither of us could see each other’s faces clearly. That didn’t stop us from feeling the helplessness and love of the other person.

Lin Xiao clenched his teeth once before replying in an emotionless voice, ”We’ll be departing in about half a month’s time. Whether or not Yiyi is going to inform you when she leaves is up to you!”

I nodded and said, ”Thank you.”

I turned to look at Lin Yixin, and she looked at me as well. A moment later, she gave my jacket a pull before asking softly, ”Can you give me your jacket? I… I want to look at it when I think about you…”

Tears threatened me again as I replied, ”It’s a cheap 120 RMB jacket though…”

Lin Yixin cried again. ”You’re not allowed to make me cry, stupid…”

……

In the end, Lin Yixin left with Lin Xiao. They would be departing to Canada in half a month’s time, and I couldn’t do anything to stop them. For one, I had no ground to stop Lin Xiao at all. Lin Yixin gave up almost everything so that her mother could recover. I couldn’t possibly become an obstacle in her path.

Standing in the frigid wind, a wave of sorrow and helplessness assaulted me as Lin Xiao’s car shrank from view.

”Du du…”

Suddenly, my phone rang. Xu Yang was the one who called me. ”Lu Chen, a Vassal Token just dropped for Li! We’re planning to use it for revenge and launch a raid on Hall of Immortality tomorrow at 10 am sharp, so prepare yourself. Everyone will be in higher spirits with you around!”

I clenched my fists tightly. ”Got it!”
