Chapter 225: Chapter 225: All Is Well
"Hmm." Xiao Heng softly acknowledged, without responding.
He knew he was too late.
She was already married to someone else.
He thought he would never encounter a woman who moved him in this lifetime, but when he finally did, she was already someone’s wife.
"I just wanted to tell you, didn’t mean to trouble you, don’t worry." Xiao Heng said sincerely, "You are a very charming woman, dazzling, confident, and kind."
"If he’s not good to you, I..."
"There’s no ’if’." Fu Xiaoxiao interrupted Xiao Heng, her eyes serious.
"Alright." Xiao Heng lowered his eyes, rejected by her, but he didn’t regret today’s impulsiveness.
"This is for your grandpa, you take it." Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Heng, handing the item intended for Lin Jun to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng shook his head.
"I’m really not convenient to go to Grandpa now, he’s been taken to the elementary school, working odd jobs there." Xiao Heng looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, filled with gratitude. "Speaking of this, it’s thanks to you."
"Me?" Fu Xiaoxiao pointed to herself in confusion.
"If you hadn’t mentioned saving Grandpa that day, he might have frozen to death in the snow. Later, Aunt Wang arranged for him at the school out of goodwill toward you, giving him a odd job." Xiao Heng looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, explaining.
Although Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t actively do anything, the passive factors were all because of her.
Aunt Wang spoke up, the village chief naturally wouldn’t oppose, he had been wanting to find a new place for Grandpa, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
But Fu Xiaoxiao managed to achieve it.
"It’s your grandpa’s fortune." Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, wondering what it had to do with her.
"I really can’t go to Grandpa now; you will have to deliver it to him yourself." Xiao Heng said to Fu Xiaoxiao, Lin Jun wouldn’t allow him near.
Before, he could still visit; now, he couldn’t even get close.
But seeing Grandpa living in a place with shelter, and able to get a warm meal, he’s already quite satisfied.
"Alright." Fu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and took Lu Lin and Lu Chen to the school.
"Wish you happiness, be sure to be happy." Watching Fu Xiaoxiao’s figure from behind, Xiao Heng etched her into his heart.
This is his regret.
Meeting her at the wrong time, the timing was way off.
Fu Xiaoxiao arrived at the elementary school with the two children and knocked on the door, soon seeing Lin Jun coming out with a broom.
"Who’s there!"
After Lin Jun spoke, he saw Fu Xiaoxiao standing at the door, with his eyes lighting up.
"Grandpa Lin." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Shh." Lin Jun was startled, quickly motioning for Fu Xiaoxiao not to call out.
"You girl, calling me so straightforwardly, aren’t you afraid?" Lin Jun was worried someone might hear and cause trouble for Fu Xiaoxiao.
He owed her so much already.
She’s saved him twice, two lives indeed!
"Grandpa Lin, don’t worry! No one’s coming now! This is for you, besides candy, there are some emergency medicines inside." Fu Xiaoxiao handed the last piece of candy to Lin Jun, along with some medicines inside.
"Child, without you, I’d have been gone long ago." Lin Jun gratefully looked at Fu Xiaoxiao; she gave him hope for life and saved him as well.
"Don’t say such things, my husband Lu Feng is being transferred. I might not come by in the future." Fu Xiaoxiao explained her intent.
"Rest assured! I’m doing well now, having a place to live, food to eat, just managing the elementary school every day, that’s good enough." Lin Jun looked at Fu Xiaoxiao. Aunt Wang saw her wanting to help him, voluntarily speaking to arrange him here, now his life is quite good.
"Where is your husband being transferred?" Lin Jun asked.
"Beijing." Fu Xiaoxiao replied, without hiding.
"Girl, wait here a moment." Lin Jun took the item, went back inside, and a while later came out with a letter.
"What’s this?" Looking at the letter in her hand, Fu Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled.
"It’s a letter of introduction. If you want to attend school, take this letter to any school, and they’ll do their best to help you." Lin Jun looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, speaking earnestly.
"You’re right, if the country wants to develop it must learn, I believe the bright day will come, and I hope you don’t give up on learning either."
Lin Jun’s words made Fu Xiaoxiao momentarily stunned.
"You can’t fool me, girl. You’re very smart and a kind young lady. Trust me, learning more won’t bring harm." Lin Jun said seriously. "If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can write to Xiao Heng, and I’ll answer you."
"Alright." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Jun, not rejecting his goodwill.
"Take care of yourself." Lin Jun watched Fu Xiaoxiao, sincerely hoping all will be well for her.
"You also take care." Fu Xiaoxiao nodded to Lin Jun, leading Lu Lin and Lu Chen away from the school.
Lin Jun watched Fu Xiaoxiao’s departing figure, silently withdrawing his gaze, returning inside, looking at the candy Fu Xiaoxiao prepared for him, softly picking up one and putting it in his mouth.
How many years it’s been since he tasted such sweetness.
It’s so sweet!
On the way home, Lu Chen and Lu Lin frequently glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, when did you save that grandpa?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
"On the day when it snowed heavily." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, telling them the story of the day of the snowstorm, both of the little ones were there back then.
Only they didn’t know that it was Lin Jun whom Xiao Heng and the others went to rescue.
"Is Xiao Heng Grandpa’s grandson? Then why isn’t his last name Lin?" Lu Lin noticed something and asked his question.
"You even noticed that?" Fu Xiaoxiao was surprised, not expecting Lu Lin to catch so much.
"This mom can’t explain well. When you grow up, you’ll understand. We’ll say it’s Grandpa Lin’s way to protect his family, and Xiao Heng’s method to protect Grandpa Lin." Fu Xiaoxiao couldn’t talk about that dark history, as it hasn’t passed yet.
But it will soon greet the light.
"Do you like Xiao Heng?" Lu Chen was more concerned about this issue.
If Fu Xiaoxiao liked Xiao Heng, then he’d need to consider whether to keep Mr. Lu around.
Surely he’d follow mom.
"How do I answer this question?" Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, she certainly didn’t like him.
Although Xiao Heng was nice, she already had someone in her heart, impossible to fit another man.
Her heart is small, can only hold space for one person.
"If you met him first, would you have liked him or Mr. Lu?" Lu Lin also couldn’t help but ask.
"I’ve never really thought about that." Fu Xiaoxiao blinked, frowning to ponder.
Lu Lin and Lu Chen were obviously nervous.
"If I hadn’t met your Mr. Lu, assuming I first met Xiao Heng..." Thinking about Xiao Heng’s complex family situation, maybe she would choose to help?
But being together with him... probably unlikely.
"There is no ’if!’ You’re mine!" As Lu Feng came to pick them up, he heard Fu Xiaoxiao say this and immediately felt his jealousy surge!
