Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Harboring a Secret “Xia Nuo, during this time my mom has things going on, she asked me to go and I have no choice but to go, after all, she’s the one who raised me all along.” Leng Yan explained the neglect during this period. Xia Nuo nodded understandingly, “I understand, even if your mom is rarely around you, you couldn’t have grown up without her.” For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 “Thank you for understanding me, I’ll try to take care of things over there as soon as possible, then I can go home with you every day.” Xia Nuo felt even happier in her heart; his explanation showed that she was also important to him in his heart. Thinking of this, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but become rigid all over, her originally joyous heart cooled significantly. What was wrong with her, why did she care so much about her standing in his heart? Seeing her look unwell, Leng Yan hurriedly explained, “Xia Nuo, what I’m saying is true. I actually don’t want to leave with my mom at all, but…” “Leng Yan.” Yin Cui’s voice interrupted him. Both of them turned towards the sound and saw her standing by a car. Seeing Leng Yan, she quickly waved at him, her face adorned with a very loving smile. Leng Yan frowned slightly, while Xia Nuo was still immersed in the shock inside her heart. Afraid that she might be unhappy, Leng Yan took her hand, softly saying, “Let’s go back.” At the moment her hand was grasped by him, Xia Nuo’s heart fiercely skipped a beat. Almost in terror, she flung his hand away, threw out a sentence, and fled hastily. “Your mom must have something important, I can go back by myself!” Ignoring his calls, she jumped onto a bus, not daring to look back at his expression. Xia Nuo returned home downcast, locking herself in her bedroom, feeling both scared and upset. How could this happen, how could she possibly like Leng Yan? He’s clearly her younger brother, how could she have such sordid thoughts? Xia Nuo loathed herself; she felt that her heart was filled with evil and murk, she was no longer a pure girl. She harbored a secret, a shameful, most unspeakable secret. As Xia Nuo wept in shame over her inner secret, Leng Yan suddenly knocked on her door. The sound of his knocking was always polite. This time it carried a hint of urgency, but she could still tell it was him knocking. Aunt Zhao opened the door for him, and he quickly stepped inside, “Aunt Zhao, has Xia Nuo come back?” “She has, she’s in her bedroom.” “Xia Nuo, come out, I have something to say to you.” He gently knocked on her bedroom door, his tone very gentle. He stood right outside, making Xia Nuo even more afraid to see anyone. Her heart pounded like a drum, almost wanting to find a place to hide. “Xia Nuo, could you please come out?” This time, there was a hint of pleading in his tone. Xia Nuo took a deep breath and responded in a very indifferent voice, “I’m not feeling well, I want to sleep for a bit, if you have something to say, let’s talk next time.” “I said next time, now go!” Leng Yan stood there dejectedly for a while before leaving. Knowing that he had left, Xia Nuo’s heart gradually calmed down. But avoiding him now doesn’t mean she can avoid him forever. What exactly should she do, how should she face him openly, and how can she stop liking him? For the next two days, Xia Nuo avoided Leng Yan. She woke earlier than anyone, leaving the house before dawn. After school, she intentionally walked with other classmates, fearing to end up alone and bumping into Leng Yan. She had always lived simply and carefree.
