C113

As Lin Sirou walked on the street, there were only a few scattered people. The trees beside the road were covered with the dust of the past, which seemed like spots that could not be removed, stuck onto the trees forever.

Lin Sirou walked into a bookstore and went through the rows and rows of bookshelves. The books on top of the bookshelves were like chess pieces waiting to be played. Occasionally one or two students with headphones would rush in, heading for the magazine area, and they would be ready in advance, already thinking out what they wanted to buy a few weeks ago. He had been like this before.

In the past, Lin Sirou would squat in his dorm every weekend and cuddle up by his bed, reading new comics and novels, and discuss those moving plots together or discuss some characters with rich personalities. In the course of reading, we opened our hearts, we quietly comforted each other, we were like two birds in a nest, after the storm, we cherished each other even more. But now we are like roadside trees, separated by a thick wall, our bodies covered in dust, we can't see each other's shadows and sincerity, in the whistling of time, we are lost in the survival and money of their own hearts, the most pure and profound guarding.

In the past, Lin Sirou would often bring Zuo Shaojie to this bookstore. When Lin Sirou walked to the comics section, the comics he liked before were still there. The scenes that made them so moved that their eyes turned red appeared clearly in his mind, but the person who sighed with emotion beside them had already disappeared. Lin Sirou really wanted to draw a conclusion between himself and Zuo Shaojie, give their friendship a period, and give the images in Lin Sirou's mind a perfect ending. However, Lin Sirou did not know where the problem with them had appeared from, nor did he know when they started to suspect the other party. Lin Sirou felt that sooner or later, the two of them would become like this. Just like the last time when she sat in front of Lin Sirou, her smile was so foreign that it was hard for Lin Sirou to accept that the person in front of him was the person he had been hiding in his heart all this time.

At night, Zuo Shaojie walked in coldly and he barely managed to smile at Lin Sirou. Lin Sirou felt that Zuo Shaojie was especially tired these few days. He was different from before, his smile was not pure. Lin Sirou started to worry a little in his heart. He felt that if this carried on, we would end like Lin Sirou and Ji Chenxi. Lin Sirou's heart was in turmoil, as if something had sprouted inside. During the whole day, Lin Sirou paid attention to every single movement of Zuo Shaojie in fear, hoping to find some information from his trails. However, Lin Sirou was completely disappointed, he really did not know how to dig out other people's thoughts. The butler kept shaking his head, saying that he didn't know and Xiao Yue was completely ignorant. Lin Sirou was really worried for him.

"Zuo Shaojie, what exactly happened? Tell me." Lin Sirou finally could not hold it in and stared at the serious face of Zuo Shaojie.

"Nothing, you …" Zuo Shaojie hid his face as he slightly lowered his head. He sneered to himself. Keep acting for me, liar.

Lin Sirou knew that he must have been hiding something from her, and he didn't want to let her to know, but Lin Sirou definitely wouldn't give up just like that. Lin Sirou didn't want a crack in the barrier between them, and a lie and concealment were really terrifying things, so Lin Sirou cut off Zuo Shaojie's words, "Quickly tell me everything, don't let me guess forever, you know that lying and concealment will break our relationship." Lin Sirou's last sentence was extremely absolute.

Zuo Shaojie was truly shaken by Lin Sirou. He raised his head in shock, opened his eyes wide, and frowned slightly. On the surface, Zuo Shaojie still looked calm and collected, but he felt a chill in his heart. This woman had lied to him, and she could still openly stand in front of him. Therefore, Zuo Shaojie also sighed and said, "There is a problem with my company, there are some problems with the funds and operations, I can't continue on my own anymore, I'm afraid that I will collapse from then on."

After Lin Sirou finished listening to what Zuo Shaojie had to say, Lin Sirou knew that he looked like an injured little deer that needed comfort and care, "Then why didn't you tell Lin Sirou, at least Lin Sirou can help you take responsibility, Lin Sirou can think of a way, Lin Sirou can do that …"

"You only need to live a good life." Zuo Shaojie stood up after he finished speaking, walked into the room and left. Lin Sirou didn't know what kind of person Lin Sirou was in his world, but at the very least, Lin Sirou hoped that he could shoulder the difficulties and challenges of life and life together with Lin Sirou. Lin Sirou hoped that he wouldn't have to shoulder all of this by himself. Lin Sirou had once carried all of his sadness and joy by himself through countless of helpless and unforgettable nights, and in the end, even Lin Sirou had almost collapsed. Lin Sirou could understand Zuo Shaojie, but Lin Sirou had always understood him very well.

"Miss Lin, young master doesn't have any other intentions. He only hopes that you can live a carefree life, you can …"

"Mn, Lin Sirou knows, Butler." Lin Sirou stopped the butler from speaking further. Lin Sirou knew that Zuo Shaojie had always silently taken on all the hardships of life, and in his heart, Lin Sirou should always be enjoying life, not figuring out ways to resolve all kinds of bad things. But Lin Sirou was not such a delicate person. Lin Sirou was a strong person, Lin Sirou hoped that he could deal with all kinds of problems, not let others deal with them.

Lin Sirou stood up and walked into the room. His heart was as calm as the surface of a lake. Lin Sirou pushed the door open, and looked at Zuo Shaojie who was sitting on the windowsill. Looking at him who had a worried expression, Lin Sirou did not know why, but he felt that he was the real him at this moment. He, who had a usual smile plastered all over his face, wore a fake mask, like a person who was hiding in a dark corner. What Lin Sirou saw was not him, but his back and Lin Sirou's fantasies. All along, Lin Sirou had never truly walked into Zuo Shaojie's world. Lin Sirou had always been in a passive state to accept everything, and had never seriously considered these questions, to the point where when those questions appeared in Lin Sirou's life, Lin Sirou would not feel anything at all, and he would not be able to think of anything at all.

"Zuo Shaojie, you really shouldn't underestimate Lin Sirou, I am very powerful." Lin Sirou quietly walked over and hugged Zuo Shaojie from behind. His back immediately gave Lin Sirou a comfortable and safe feeling. Lin Sirou leaned her face into his back like a spoiled child and gently rubbed it.

"Really? If one day you can't live like this, you will... "Are you sad …" Zuo Shaojie slightly paused. In his heart, he was prepared to take a good look at this woman's real face.

Lin Sirou finally found out. Zuo Shaojie was afraid that Lin Sirou would leave him and abandon him after knowing that he was out of money. Lin Sirou did not get angry, because he knew that Zuo Shaojie had always been wholeheartedly considering things for Lin Sirou. Even if the company encountered such a big problem, he was more concerned about whether Lin Sirou would leave or not. Lin Sirou was very moved, Lin Sirou was truly satisfied. Zuo Shaojie's love for him was like the vast ocean, sinking deep into Lin Sirou's heart, allowing Lin Sirou to freely float within it. Lin Sirou had always been like a seedling in his infancy, able to enjoy sufficient sunlight and proper water every day. Lin Sirou would have sufficient space to grow, but Lin Sirou didn't know that all of this was done in silence by someone behind him.

"Idiot, I will never lie to you. Lin Sirou will not be sad, even if you don't have anything, Lin Sirou will be happy wherever you are. "

"Really …" Zuo Shaojie's voice trembled slightly. Lin Sirou knew that his heart was definitely filled with gratitude and joy. However, this was not the case. He wanted to see how this woman would slowly reveal her true face in front of him.

However, Lin Sirou was not comforting him, everything that she said was from the bottom of her heart. She had always thought that her identity would not cause any problems for their relationship. Furthermore, Lin Sirou and Zuo Shaojie were carefree everyday, and a smile had always hung on Lin Sirou's face. Every single day that he existed, Lin Sirou would feel that his life had gained hope and motivation. Every day, he would wait for to return home from work, wait for him to grab Lin Sirou's hand and walk around the courtyard, wait for him to lean on Lin Sirou's side and read those ancient books together with him, then flip through those photos.

"Do you know, Zuo Shaojie, every single day you give Lin Sirou is like a drop of water under the sun, transparent and shiny. Lin Sirou has never thought about what happens if he doesn't live a wealthy life, because Lin Sirou has never been infatuated with this kind of life. What Lin Sirou likes is the feeling of being with you, and the sincerity you have towards Lin Sirou. So, even if you go bankrupt, Lin Sirou will still accompany you to the end. " Lin Sirou felt Zuo Shaojie's shoulders tremble slightly.
