The Sweetest Marriage (2)

Ch.269: A New Beginning

After that snowfall, the capital experienced two consecutive sunny days, as if it knew Wei Chen and Chen Li were about to embark on an overseas journey. Even the smog disappeared. These two days of fine weather were rare for the capital.

It was the day Wei Chen and Chen Li set off for F country. Due to his special status, Grandfather Qu didn't come to see them off. However, he bid farewell to Chen Li the day before.

Lan Xiping, Jiang Ye, Cookie, Wei Hua-all of them were there. Of course, Zhuge Yu was present too.

While the young people were gathered and chatting, Zhuge Yu pulled Chen Yunlan to a corner and earnestly advised him to take good care of Chen Li. He even went as far as to threaten Chen Yunlan, stating that if Chen Li lost weight during their time away, he would make sure to recover it from Chen Yunlan's body upon their return.

Without Zhuge Yu's reminder, Chen Yunlan would still take good care of Chen Li. Despite Zhuge Yu's verbosity at the moment, Chen Yunlan, rarely showing any signs of annoyance, listened attentively to Zhuge Yu's words. Although much of it was drivel, as long as a sentence mentioned Chen Li's habits, Chen Yunlan took note.

Although Chen Yunlan knew that with Wei Chen around, Chen Li would undoubtedly be well taken care of, he couldn't help but want to treat Chen Li well, even better.

Zhuge Yu also understood Chen Yunlan's thoughts. He was genuinely worried about Chen Li leaving for F country, being a foreign land. He couldn't help but repeat his concerns several times.

Meanwhile, the young people were bidding their farewells. In contrast to Zhuge Yu's lengthy conversations, the farewells among the younger generation were brief, just a few words.

"Chen Li, believe me, I'll come to see you very soon," Lan Xiping said. "By then, I can release you from your psychological suggestions."

This psychological suggestion had been lingering in Chen Li's mind, a timed bomb. No one knew when it would explode, nor the impact it would have.

In other words, this timed bomb wasn't just hanging over Chen Li but also lingering in everyone's minds.

Lan Xiping had been researching this recently and had some insights. He believed that a solution would soon be found.

Only by disarming this timed bomb as soon as possible could they be at ease.

Chen Li knew Lan Xiping was concerned about him. He smiled gently, "Xiping, I believe in you."

Lan Xiping also smiled, as if his smile contained the sunlight outside.

Little Biscuit came over and hugged Chen Li's thigh, looked up at Chen Li with intense reluctance in his eyes, saying, "Uncle Chen Li, I'll wait for you to come back and teach Biscuit how to draw."

Chen Li ruffled Little Biscuit's hair and promised, "Okay."

Despite their reluctance, it was time to leave. Wei Chen held Chen Li's hand and headed towards the customs. Chen Li half-turned, waving goodbye to the people behind him.

Over a year ago, Chen Li had never dared to imagine he would be in his current state. He felt the kindness the world had shown him and the warmth of a world's sunshine.

Despite the lingering darkness, Chen Li had learned to see through it and search for the light.

Now, he had friends, teachers, family, Wei Chen, and an unborn baby in his belly.

Many times, Chen Li couldn't help but think, 'Is this the most fulfilling state of life? Everything is so beautiful; he seemed no longer afraid of this world.'
