Seeing Xiaobei’s speechless expression, Cao Lingbing knew she had scared him...
"Xiaobei, you’re having a taste of your own medicine today!"
Thinking to herself, Cao Lingbing pressed her lips into a slight smile and cheerfully said, "I was just joking with you. I looked around earlier and realized there wasn’t anything good to change into, so I thought I’d just wear this."
Earlier, Cao Lingbing had opened the wardrobe.
After selecting a few items, she found that all the clothes were similar to what she was wearing.
After considering, she decided not to change and chose to continue wearing the same outfit.
She thought Xiaobei probably liked this outfit.
Hearing Cao Lingbing’s explanation, Xiaobei examined her closely and squinted, casually saying, "You look great in this outfit. Honestly, you’re beautiful, and you look great in whatever you wear!"
Glancing at Xiaobei, Cao Lingbing giggled, "I heard before that men are full of sweet talk; now I see it’s true!"
Hearing her teasing, Xiaobei’s eye twitched as he seriously said, "Where’s the sweet talk in that? I’m just speaking the truth!"
"I don’t believe you!"
After saying this, she smiled and bounced over to stand in front of Xiaobei and softly said with anticipation, "Alright, let’s go explore a bit! It’s been so long since I’ve left this courtyard."
"Okay!"
With that, the two of them left the tranquil courtyard one after the other...
...
"Do you still feel a sense of belonging here?"
After walking out of the small courtyard, Xiaobei glanced at Cao Lingbing and curiously asked.
Cao Lingbing thought carefully and responded in a slightly hoarse voice, "At first, I did, but later on, I really didn’t! They did too many excessive things before which clearly showed they never truly saw me as family. In that case, there’s no reason for me to see them as family either, right."
"Indeed!"
Xiaobei nodded gently...
Kindness is mutual...
When you’re good to others and receive nothing in return, you’ll eventually feel disheartened.
Cao Lingbing is just like that...
Before, as a member of this family, she gave her all for them.
However, she received no gratitude, just more scheming and betrayal.
The closest people betrayed her, ultimately leading her to despair, which involved a tremendous amount of hopelessness that goes without saying.
Knowing this topic was rather heavy, Xiaobei didn’t continue it and directly changed the subject, "Alright, let’s not talk about these things. Let me take you for a proper tour! Although I haven’t been out much before, I’m still quite familiar with this place, since I used to explore many places when I was young."
"Sure! I’ll be counting on you then!"
"No need to be so polite with me!"
After saying this, she regained her spirits and hopped ahead.
Xiaobei smiled and quickly followed.
Xiaobei knew that she had indeed changed a lot now...
Previously, because everyone betrayed her, she had completely closed off her heart.
And now, because of him, her heart had opened again.
Although not completely restored to her best state, she was still much, much better...
...
"Xiaobei, I remember coming here when I was young; there’s quite a sizable deep pool here."
As Xiaobei walked with Cao Lingbing, he looked towards her.
Seeing her pointing to a somewhat irregular deep pool in the distance...
Squinting his eyes, Xiaobei suddenly thought of something.
