Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

Chapter 119 Ripples in the Heart

In a daze, Lin Cong really saw his grandmother.

As usual, grandma cooked a table full of her favorite dishes for her and smiled at her kindly.

Lin Cong didn't care about eating and threw himself into his grandmother's arms, "Grandma, I miss you, I miss you so much..."

Grandma gently stroked Lin Cong's head and said, "Silly child, isn't grandma here?"

"Grandma, please don't leave me, okay?"

"My Congcong has grown up and can live a good life on his own."

"No, grandma, I don't want to live alone. I'll go back to the village, and we can live a quiet life together."

"Congcong, take good care of yourself. Grandma really has to go."

"No...Grandma..."

Grandma was still smiling at Lin Cong, and Lin Cong wanted to hug her grandma tighter.

However, grandma turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the air.

"Grandma!" Lin Cong woke up and sat up.

Her eyes were glazed over.

Xiang Shao called out tentatively: "Lin Cong..."

Lin Cong looked at Xiang Shao, her mouth trembling and tears welling up in her eyes.

She said in a wronged voice: "Mr. Xiang, grandma is gone..."

Then, the tears in her eyes burst out instantly.

Without thinking, Xiang Shao hugged Lin Cong and said, "Don't cry, it's okay...it's okay..."

Lin Cong was crying.

Xiang Shao's heart then twitched into a ball.

Lin Cong's hands tightly grasped Xiang Shao's clothes.

This action made Xiang Shao feel even more pity for Lin Cong.

He wished he could destroy the Xia family immediately.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Cong's crying stopped.

Her head rested on Xiang Shao's shoulder, and the sound of her even breathing reached Xiang Shao's ears.

Fell asleep?

Xiang Shao didn't dare to move at all, for fear of waking up Lin Cong.

It was not until he felt Lin Cong's breath became hot that he gently put Lin Cong on the bed.

After touching Lin Cong's forehead, I found that she really had a high fever.

Following the doctor's instructions, Xiang Shao first used a towel and alcohol to physically cool him down.

Afterwards, he gave Lin Cong some antipyretic medicine.

After a while, Lin Cong began to sweat profusely.

The doctor said that as long as you can sweat, it's a good thing.

Afraid that Lin Cong would feel uncomfortable, Xiang Shao wiped the sweat from Lin Cong's forehead with a warm towel again and again.

Xiang Shao didn't sleep a wink the whole night.

In the morning, An An came.

An An was worried that her future brother-in-law would also fall ill, so she came specially to replace him.

"Sister... No, Boss Xiang, you go and have a rest, I'll take care of my sister." An An almost let the cat out of the bag.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Xiang Shao didn't even look at An An.

"Boss Xiang, you should go and have some rest. My sister would definitely be worried if she knew you were staying here all the time. You know my sister..."

Xiang Shao touched Lin Cong's forehead again, and the fever subsided. "Okay, if you have anything, contact me immediately."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as my sister wakes up." An An was very smart.

Xiang Shao walked out of the room, looking back every few steps.

There was still a lot of work to do today, so he just washed up quickly and went to the office.

Near noon, Lin Cong finally woke up.

"Sister, you finally woke up!" An An said excitedly.

Following An An's voice, Lin Cong turned around and looked. Her voice was still very weak: "How long have I slept?"

"You weren't sleeping, you fainted."

Lin Cong felt her head heavy. She only remembered being trapped in the mountains, and then Xiang Shao came.

The rest of the things were so hazy that I had almost no impression of them.

Lin Cong struggled to get up.

Seeing this, An An helped Lin Cong up.

"Was it Master Xiang who brought me back?"

"Yes." An An and Lin Cong narrated the whole process.

Finally, she added, "Sister, Boss Xiang has been guarding you here all night."

"Where did he go?"

"I guess he's busy with work. There seems to be a lot going on at the factory these days."

Speaking of this, An An remembered that she had promised Xiang Shao that she would tell him when Lin Cong woke up.

An An called Xiang Shao and told him the news that Lin Cong had woken up.

Mr. Xiang is not in the factory. He has gone out to discuss business.

"Alas, Boss Xiang is still discussing business in this state. He didn't sleep all night, and he has been staying up late recently." An An said.

After hearing An An say this, Lin Cong felt a little worried.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Cong called Xiang Shao.

Xiang Shao picked up the phone quickly.

"Mr. Xiang..."

"Are you feeling better?" Xiang Shao's tone was full of concern.

"much better."

"Do you still have a fever?"

"A little bit, but it's nothing."

"I'm at the supermarket, Lin Cong. Is there anything you really want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

Xiang Shao came to the supermarket specifically because he wanted to buy some novel things that girls would like, but after walking around twice, he still didn't know what to buy.

"Juice..." Lin Cong asked again, "Is it convenient to buy some?"

After having a high fever, Lin Cong felt like he was drying up.

At this time, she really wanted to drink some juice. The sour and sweet taste made her feel delicious just thinking about it.

"It's convenient. You have a good rest. I'll be back soon."

"Mr. Xiang!"

"Ok?"

"Drive slowly and be careful," Lin Cong advised.

"Don't worry, wait for me."

Xiang Shao's tone was very ordinary, but it contained an indestructible power.

Wait for me... These three words caused ripples in Lin Cong's heart.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Cong suddenly had a feeling he had never had before - security.

She can live today with peace of mind and look forward to tomorrow with confidence.

……

When Xiang Shao came back, Lin Cong was chatting with An An, and both of them were very happy.

Seeing Xiang Shao carrying a lot of bags, An An immediately went over to take them.

After putting down his things, Xiang Shao sat down beside the bed. He touched Lin Cong's forehead and found that he no longer had a fever.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy." asked Xiang Shao.

"My sister was telling me about her childhood. She was just like a boy. She not only climbed walls but also fished." An An said.

Xiang Shao smiled and said, "It seems that your sister has been a heroine since she was a child."

"Boss Xiang, my sister said there's a kind of smoothie in her hometown that's really delicious. Can you bring some back when you return to China?"

Seeing this, Lin Cong quickly said, "An An, my hometown is very far away, please don't bother Mr. Xiang. I will take you there to eat when I have the chance."

"Is it really that delicious?" Xiang Shao was a little curious.

"It's delicious! I'm drooling just listening to my sister's description." An An continued.

"I ate it often when I was a child, so I just miss the taste." Lin Cong explained.

"Is that store still open now?" Xiang Shao picked up a bottle of orange juice from the bag.

"It's still open. The owner's daughter inherited the store." Lin Cong replied.

"How about orange juice?" asked Xiang Shao.

"OK thanks."

Xiang Shao opened the lid and handed it to Lin Cong, then continued, "I'll go take a look when we get back."

Lin Cong glared at An An, who felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"By the way, An An, these are for you." Xiang Shao said, pointing to a bag.

Xiang Shao thought An An would definitely like those snacks, so he bought some.

"Wow! Thank you...Boss Xiang!" An An almost called out "brother-in-law" again.
