Chapter 874: Revisiting The Past (2)

Mu Tingfeng naturally understood. He held Zhao Youlin’s hand and never let go. He even took the initiative to try to divert Zhao Youlin’s attention. “Do you want to go somewhere else? Or do you want to go home directly?”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked out of the car window and said hesitantly, “If possible, I’d like to see one more place.”

Mu Tingfeng did not ask where Zhao Youlin wanted to go. He just smiled and said in a low voice, “For you, anything.”

Zhao Youlin’s heart trembled. She looked at the compassionate man in front of her. The stifling feeling that had been suppressing her heart since she entered the orphanage finally dissipated a little. She smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go there.”

Where? Mu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows. He had a feeling that the place that Zhao Youlin mentioned would be somewhat unusual.

Zhao Youlin did not leave Mu Tingfeng guessing for long. After about half an hour, the two of them parked their car in a place that was completely unfamiliar to Mu Tingfeng.

This was a somewhat remote residential area. It was completely different from the urban residential area. It looked dirty and small.

Mu Tingfeng was stunned when he saw this place, but he quickly realized that this place should be where Zhao Youlin used to live.

As expected, as soon as the car stopped, Zhao Youlin immediately rolled down the car window. She stared at a dilapidated house not far away with a nostalgic look in her eyes, then she pointed at the house and smiled at Mu Tingfeng. “That house over there is where my mother and I used to live.”

Even though he had already guessed it, when he heard from Zhao Youlin that the house was where she had lived for a few years, or even over ten years, Mu Tingfeng couldn’t help but feel his heart ache.

“This place looks a little messy. Why don’t you change it?” Mu Tingfeng was afraid that Zhao Youlin would misunderstand. He quickly added, “I don’t mean anything by it. I just feel that it’s a little unsafe for a girl to live in a place like this.”

“Don’t look down on girls. Although I’m a girl, I’m not necessarily inferior to a man.”

Mu Tingfeng pursed his lips and didn’t answer.

Zhao Youlin decided not to tease him anymore. “Well, I didn’t think of going anywhere else. I know you feel sorry for me. Actually, it’s not that I didn’t think of moving out of here at that time.”

“Then why…”

“Because there was no need for that.” Zhao Youlin glanced at the house not far away. “After my mother left, I was the only one in the house. At that time, I had to go to school and live. I didn’t have the spare money to exchange for a house. Later on, when I worked and earned money, I had the ability, but I also felt that there was no need. I went to the police academy and then to the police station. I spent a lot of time at the police station. This was just a place where I came back occasionally to rest. I didn’t have many friends. The only person who would really come to my house was Mu Chen. Why would I need to change to a big house that was just for the sake of occasionally entertaining one or two guests?”

Zhao Youlin seemed to have thought of something as she spoke. She said with relief, “Of course, there’s another point. Although this place looks simple and crude, it’s still the place where my mother and I have stayed for so long. It’s our home. My mother is gone. At least I can help her guard this place for a while.”

Unfortunately, the house was eventually empty and no one lived in it anymore.

Mu Tingfeng could not help but tremble because of Zhao Youlin’s words. Even though Zhao Youlin had never said it and even mentioned that she did not care who her biological mother was, in her heart, she still wanted a home, a home that belonged to her.

“Do you want to go in and take a look?” Zhao Youlin quickly composed herself and turned to look at Mu Tingfeng.

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes lit up, and he nodded solemnly.

In the end, he was curious as well. He was curious about what Zhao Youlin was like in the past, where she lived, and what kind of life she lived. That period of time that he didn’t participate in had given him endless reveries.

After receiving Mu Tingfeng’s affirmative answer, Zhao Youlin wasted no more time. She opened the car door and walked out.

As soon as Zhao Youlin walked to the front of the house, she immediately squatted down and tried to feel under the potted plants that were kept at the door.

After spending some effort, she finally took out a key that was badly rusted.

“Fortunately, I hid a spare one here, but I don’t know if I can open it.” Zhao Youlin held the key in her hand and walked to the door to try to open it.

Perhaps the key was a little rusty and difficult to turn. Zhao Youlin spent a lot of effort opening the door handle.

“AH, it’s open!” Zhao Youlin exclaimed in joy and directly opened the door.

The slightly narrow room was not as messy as expected. It was covered in dust, but it was very clean and tidy.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were both stunned. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Youlin quickly reacted. She could not tell if it was joy or helplessness as she said, “Mu Chen probably comes over to help clean up sometimes. He has a spare key here.”

Mu Tingfeng nodded and reached out to touch the table in the room. There were cups and decorations on the table…

Unexpectedly, the interior of the house was completely different from the simple and messy outside. Although it was very small, it was cleaned very cleanly and decorated very warmly.

The traces of a person who had lived in this place were well preserved. From these traces, one could vaguely tell what kind of person the owner of this house was.

“I really miss it. The furnishings here are exactly the same as before. Even the location hasn’t changed.” Like Mu Tingfeng, Zhao Youlin also carefully examined the furnishings in this room. However, compared to Mu Tingfeng’s sense of novelty, Zhao Youlin missed it more.

After all, she had lived in this place for so long. Everything she had experienced in this room seemed to have happened yesterday, vividly in her mind. Unfortunately, what lay between her and these things was her past life and present life.

Zhao Youlin touched everything one by one. In the end, she could not help but sigh, “Mu Chen is really something. I have been away for so long, yet he still comes to clean up from time to time. He knows very well that no one would live here anymore.”

She had given the spare key to Mu Chen back then because she felt that she was too busy sometimes. She had gone on missions or business trips for a few months. If no one cleaned up here, who knew what would happen when she came back… That was why she had Mu Chen come over regularly to help her take a look.

She did not expect that Mu Chen would come to this room from time to time and clean up her room just like before. That fool…
