Chapter 27 Comfort

Those darts that were originally very obedient in the hands of Sheng Langxing, now in Lin Zhi's hands, seemed to have their own ideas, and no matter how she operated them, they could not achieve the desired results.

Let alone shooting to the ninth and tenth rings, just wanting to hit the target was a very difficult thing for her at this time.

Seeing this, Sheng Langxing, who was standing aside, took two steps closer to her and said, "Do you want me to teach you?"

Lin Zhi thought he wanted to laugh at her, so she didn't even look at him and said coldly: "You don't have to worry about it."

"Your hands should be like this," Sheng Langxing did not care about her harsh tone, but became much more patient than before. He lightly touched Lin Zhi's wrist with his fingers and began to teach her carefully, "Hold it with three fingers. Metal pole, wrist strength, body balance."

 "Just like this..."

The dart instantly hit the tenth ring in his few words. Lin Zhi was overjoyed and turned around with stars in his eyes: "I didn't expect you really have two brushes."

Sheng Langxing was dazzled by her smile, his expression a little unnatural. But soon, he returned to his usual mischievous look: "That's natural."

Feeling the joy of throwing darts, Lin Zhi was out of control. Now she could hit the ninth and tenth rings without the guidance of Shenglangxing. It seems that she has some talent in throwing darts.

Sheng Langxing put one hand in his pocket and leaned leisurely on the shelf next to him. The frowned brows relaxed a lot unconsciously.

He couldn't stand her low-pressure look. No matter how clumsy the method was, as long as he could keep a smile on her face, he was willing to try.

Gradually, Lin Zhi began to be dissatisfied with the joy brought by throwing darts. She asked Shenglangxing to take her to play racing games, experience thrilling music games, and various fighting...

From beginning to end, she experienced almost all sports events, and also experienced excitement that she had not experienced in the past twenty years.

Her emotions were vented, and the depression that had been suppressed in Lin Zhi's heart was gradually released. She finally relaxed a little and took several sips of the mineral water "Gulugulu" handed over by Shenglangxing.

 "Do you feel better now?"

Sheng Langxing said this unexpectedly, which made Lin Zhi a little stunned. She put down the mineral water in her hand and screwed the cap on the bottle again: "What?"

Sheng Langxing sighed and simply spread his arms and said, "Let me tell you, after you finish playing the game, do you feel less sad than before?"

Lin Zhi was stunned. Did she show it too obviously? Otherwise, how could he notice that she was sad?

 "How do you know I'm in a bad mood?"

"Everyone can see it," Sheng Langxing said angrily, "The corner of your mouth is so curled up that it could hang an oil can. It's so ugly."

"No way," Lin Zhi glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing. If you talk nonsense again, I will curse you."

There was a smile in Sheng Langxing's voice: "Okay, I'm talking nonsense. You didn't."

 As long as she is happy, let alone scolding him, there is no harm in hitting him a few times.

After coming out of the video game city, Lin Zhi discovered a vendor selling cotton candy on the roadside. The last time she remembered eating marshmallows was when she was in elementary school.

Her parents had not yet passed away at that time. Every time her father picked her up from school, he would buy her a marshmallow found on the roadside.

The marshmallows were small and tasted ordinary and low-quality sweet, but Lin Zhi just remembered this taste in her heart.

Sheng Langxing saw her stop in front of the marshmallow vendor and frowned: "Do you like this? This is very sweet and not hygienic."

Lin Zhi didn't say anything. After asking the boss about the price, she silently took out her mobile phone to pay. She chose a pink marshmallow similar to the one her father had bought for her based on her memory.

Lin Zhi took the marshmallow and didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat down on a bench by the roadside, lowered his head and took a bite of the marshmallow before saying softly: "Do you know? This marshmallow is the same as what my dad used to buy. The one given to me is exactly the same, and it's still just as sweet."

Sheng Langxing was originally struggling with how to persuade her to give up the marshmallows in her hands, but suddenly he heard her words and reacted instantly.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although she almost never tells him about her family affairs, it is not difficult to guess something from her behavior every year.

She almost never went home during the Chinese New Year. She worked hard to earn money when she was in school and never contacted her family. All of these things combined meant that she either had a bad relationship with her family or something happened to her parents.

Realizing this, Sheng Langxing suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, as if the most cherished thing had been pierced, and a needle-like pain suddenly spread throughout his body.

He slowed down, then sat down next to Lin Zhi, changing his usual casual tone: "It's okay, your dad will know. He will be very happy to see that you still like to eat marshmallows."

Lin Zhi nodded, her tears falling silently, and a few drops fell on the fluffy marshmallow, instantly making a big hole.

The longing for her parents and the emotional blow finally broke through her last psychological defense at this moment. Her tears fell quickly like broken beads without making any sound.

Seeing this, Sheng Langxing panicked immediately. He dug awkwardly in his pocket for a long time before taking out a few tissues: "Don't cry. Tell me if you have anything to do. If you cry, I will I don't even know what to do."

 Lin Zhi took the tissue in his hand and shook her head.

Sheng Langxing had no idea and sat aside blankly, his body stiff and his hands held together stiffly, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Only when he noticed that Lin Zhi's hair was stuck with marshmallows, he raised his hand to help her hang it behind her ears again.

This action happened to be seen by Gu Qingbei, who was driving by the mall at this time. In fact, what Gu Qingbei noticed at first was Lin Zhi. He was wondering why she appeared here alone. Just as the car turned a corner, he suddenly saw the boy next to her clearly.

The boy looked young, about the same age as her. Gu Qingbei recognized that this was the boy who had appeared in her circle of friends and had dinner with her.

At this time, the two of them appeared in the mall at the same time, and he helped her smooth her hair, looking like a young couple.

Gu Qingbei pursed her thin lips tightly, and her black eyes were filled with thin ice. The force under her feet increased, and the black Bentley disappeared at the end of the street in an instant.

After Lin Zhi cried, her mood eased a lot. After she regained her composure, she asked Sheng Langxing to take her home.

When Lin Zhi got home, Xia Xiyue and the others hadn't come back yet. She didn't have any more dinner. She just took her pajamas and took a shower and went to bed.

The night in early autumn was very cold, but Gu Qingbei, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, still opened the window wide. It seemed that only the cold wind could calm his mind temporarily.
