79: Chapter 79 The Feeling of Home

Ye Shuangshuang sat on the curb outside the hospital entrance.

Her arms were tightly wrapped around herself, and her head rested listlessly on her knees.

At this moment, the usual light in Ye Shuangshuang's eyes had faded away.

She looked lifeless, without a shred of vitality.

Thinking about how a long period of her future life would be spent just earning money to pay off debts, Ye Shuangshuang felt incredibly helpless.

Both of them were raised by the same parents, so why was Ye Fei always pampered by everyone, while she had to be the one to become the sacrifice?

Ye Shuangshuang was filled with grievances, and she didn't know who she could confide in.

Originally, Ye Shuangshuang had planned to stay in Nanjing after graduating from college to make a living on her own.

Now, she didn't even know what to do.

After deducting the portion used to pay off debts from her monthly earnings, what remained might not even be enough to support her daily living expenses.

Lost!

Ye Shuangshuang had no idea where the hope for the future lay.

For a college student, over a million was an astronomical figure.

Ye Shuangshuang sighed, listlessly staring at the ants crawling on the ground in front of her.

She thought to herself, "If only I were a little ant too."

That way, she wouldn't have these worries.

The evening breeze blew by, and dressed thinly, Ye Shuangshuang subconsciously hugged herself tighter.

Just then, a warm coat was placed over her shoulders.

Ye Shuangshuang recognized this piece of clothing.

It was the one she had picked out for Lin Yi the day she met him.

Ye Shuangshuang subconsciously looked up and met Lin Yi's gentle face.

Lin Yi was bathed in the street light, and in Ye Shuangshuang's eyes, he was radiating light all over at this moment.

Like a beacon lighting up the dark night.

A girl's most vulnerable moment is also when she is most easily moved.

Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability + 5 points.

Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability + 5 points.

Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability + 5 points.

Current Favorability: 95 points.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 15 points."

"Shuangshuang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Lin Yi felt a bit guilty.

Ye Shuangshuang was, after all, his bound target.

Such a big thing had happened, and he hadn't known anything about it.

When it came down to it, he hadn't cared enough about Ye Shuangshuang.

He hadn't even thought to check on her these past few days.

Furthermore, Ye Shuangshuang was his first bound target.

He had even made his first pot of gold through Ye Shuangshuang.

Hearing Lin Yi's apology, Ye Shuangshuang threw herself into his arms.

"Lin Yi..."

"Wuwuwu..."

Ye Shuangshuang was actually quite strong-willed at heart.

Over the past few days, she had been trying hard to suppress the various feelings of sadness in her heart while dealing with these events.

She didn't want to show her vulnerability to the outside world.

But the moment she saw Lin Yi and heard him gently say that he was late, Ye Shuangshuang couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Lin Yi gently stroked Ye Shuangshuang's head and comforted her.

"It's okay, with me here, everything will pass."

Ye Shuangshuang originally had a heart full of grievances she wanted to pour out, but after hugging Lin Yi, all those words turned into soft sobs.

After crying for a while, Ye Shuangshuang finally looked up while sobbing.

"How did you know I was here..."

Ye Shuangshuang was crying with teary eyes, which made Lin Yi feel heartache just looking at her.

Lin Yi pinched Ye Shuangshuang's cute, petite nose and complained.

"Not only do I know you're here, but I also know why you're here."

"Why didn't you come to me when you encountered such a big problem?"

Ye Shuangshuang pouted and said in a low voice.

"This is my business... I didn't want to trouble..."

Before Ye Shuangshuang could finish, Lin Yi domineeringly grabbed her hand and walked towards the hospital.

"Your business is my business!"

...

...

Lin Yi took Ye Shuangshuang to find that family and directly transferred two million to them.

And he demanded that they must never disturb Ye Shuangshuang's life for any reason in the future.

Upon seeing such a large sum of money, that family immediately beamed with joy, nodding and promising repeatedly.

Before leaving, Lin Yi even tore the guarantee letter that Ye Shuangshuang had just written for them into shreds in front of everyone.

Seeing Lin Yi's ability to produce two million instantly, those people knew he was a wealthy individual and didn't dare to say anything more.

Walking out of the hospital and getting into the car, Ye Shuangshuang felt as if everything that had just happened was like a dream.

Originally, she felt her life was a mess and there was no hope for the future.

But as soon as Lin Yi appeared, all problems were solved easily.

But how did Lin Yi know she had encountered difficulties?

Was it just because of that unusual phone call she made last night?

Ye Shuangshuang looked at Lin Yi's profile, her heart pounding wildly.

"Does he care about me this much?"

"Just because I showed a little something was wrong, he found out what had happened to me."

"In his heart... am I that important?"

Lin Yi, however, didn't notice Ye Shuangshuang's expression at this moment.

He started the car on his own.

"Shall I take you back to school?"

Lin Yi checked the time; it wasn't curfew yet, so it should still be in time to return to school.

But Ye Shuangshuang hesitated and shook her head.

Lin Yi then remembered that when he listened to Ye Shuangshuang's inner voice earlier, he heard that she didn't seem to want to return to the dormitory.

Because of recent events, it seemed her roommates were gossiping about her behind her back.

Since that was the case, it was better not to return to the dormitory.

"Then let's go to my place; my house is big anyway."

Lin Yi thought that since there were so many guest rooms at home that were just sitting empty, if Ye Shuangshuang didn't mind, they could keep each other company.

It would also be livelier to have another person at home.

With such a big house, living alone was indeed a bit lonely.

But to Ye Shuangshuang, these words took on a different meaning.

However, she was willing.

At the time she most needed care and help, only Lin Yi stepped forward to assist her.

Such a man was worth her giving everything she had.

Ye Shuangshuang nodded shyly, effectively agreeing.

...

Twenty-something minutes later, the car stopped in front of the villa.

"Lin Yi, is this... is this your home?"

Seeing such a luxurious villa, Ye Shuangshuang was incredibly surprised.

She had also seen the Xiangjiang Fenghua residential complex online.

It was said that a single villa here cost over a hundred million...

At first, she thought Lin Yi saying his house was big was implying something...

She didn't expect...

This house was truly big...

Lin Yi pulled Ye Shuangshuang through the door and led her on a rough tour of the upstairs and downstairs.

Seeing the huge bed in Lin Yi's master bedroom, two pretty blushes unconsciously climbed onto Ye Shuangshuang's face.

"Go take a shower first. I have a few loose-fitting clothes; if you don't mind, you can wear mine after you shower."

"You probably haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles; it should be ready by the time you finish your shower."

After saying that, Lin Yi found a set of clean clothes for Ye Shuangshuang, then ran downstairs to the kitchen to get busy.

Ye Shuangshuang watched Lin Yi's back as he busied himself in the kitchen, lowered her head to smell the scent of sunshine on the clothes, and felt sweet inside.

This was the feeling of home, something she had never experienced before.
