Although Xu Nancheng was relatively honest and focused on his studies, he was still pushed by Xu Wenzhao to engage in some physical exercise, and his body was quite fit.
Lin Menghan nestled against Xu Nancheng's sturdy chest, feeling secure and grounded, her sobs gradually subsiding. Xu Nancheng felt his cheeks burning, breathing heavily as his chest rose and fell violently, as if his heart might leap out of his chest.
He slowly wrapped his right arm around Lin Menghan's back, pausing several times in hesitation before finally resting it on her delicate shoulder. His left hand gently grasped her left hand, pulling her closer into his embrace. Even through their clothes, he could still feel her warmth radiating.
"Don't cry anymore, okay? Lin Menghan," he said softly, lightly patting her shoulder as if comforting a child. Seeing the girl in front of him cry made him feel a deep sadness as well.
"Mm!" The girl's voice trembled slightly, still laced with the remnants of her tears. She wiped her eyes and rubbed them, trying her best to stifle her sobs.
Xu Nancheng thought to himself, where was your self-control? Just one afternoon and you've already fallen! What about your studies? It seemed he would have to work even harder now! But then again, who could resist a girl like this?
Throughout that afternoon, he felt something different from the past ten years. Sharing jokes and laughter with a girl, playfully feeding each other—though he had never experienced it before, it felt incredibly joyful.
Holding a girl in his arms, he found her fragrance gentle and soothing, unlike the overpowering scents of shower gels that could be cloying. Her scent gave off an elegant vibe that relaxed him even more in their close proximity.
"Ahem, let’s head home!" Lin Zhen interjected as she looked at the two embracing each other, feeling a bit uncomfortable about their closeness.
"Alright, Lin Menghan," Xu Nancheng replied as he held her tightly and took a step forward.
Xu Wenzhao thoughtfully shone the flashlight ahead of them to light their path.
Lin Menghan quietly followed Xu Nancheng, feeling the safety he provided and a warm sensation blossomed within her heart.
As they arrived home with Lin's parents nearby, Xu Nancheng turned on the lights and led Lin Menghan to sit on the sofa.
Looking at Lin Menghan beside him, he noticed she was still sniffling; her eyes were red and she occasionally wiped away tears from her cheeks. He remembered how much she seemed to enjoy watching "Your Name," as if she hadn't finished it yet.
He decided to comfort her emotions a little more.
He picked up a few sheets of paper from the coffee table and handed them over to Lin Menghan. "Here, wipe your tears."
"Can you please stop crying? I'm sorry, I'm not very good at comforting girls."
"How about we watch that movie together?"
"Okay!"
As he spoke, he turned on the television. Since he didn't really care about these things, he didn't know the name of the movie, so he scrolled through the history section and clicked on the first one.
The film had already been playing for a while, and it was at the part where Mitsuha Miyamizu's grandmother was talking about her dreams of becoming someone else.
"Treasure it! Memories will slowly fade after you wake up from the dream."
The two sat side by side watching the movie, no longer cuddling like before.
Lin Zhen watched from the side but said nothing. She simply came over, placed the plate she was holding on the coffee table, sat down next to Lin Menghan, and gently stroked her back. "Lin Menghan, please stop crying. Auntie doesn't know what's wrong with you, but here with me, just be happy."
"Okay! Auntie, you all are so nice." Her mood seemed to have improved compared to earlier; she no longer stuttered while speaking.
"Here! Lin Menghan, would you like another piece of candy?"
Xu Nancheng unwrapped a milk candy and placed it in Lin Menghan's mouth. The candy melted in her mouth, sweet as a flower blooming in her heart.
"Thank you, Nancheng!"
"You silly child, why are you being so polite with family?" Lin Zhen's tone was filled with affection.
Before long, the movie was nearing its end, and Lin Menghan had completely calmed down. Xu Wenzhao and Lin Zhen had already taken their showers.
"Lin Menghan, you should go take a shower now." As Xu Nancheng spoke, he headed into his room to catch up on his studies that had fallen behind over the past few days.
"Nancheng! I'm done showering; it's your turn!"
Then she entered the room and opened the notebook, writing something in it.
