Lin Nuan didn't say anything, but she heard Wen Moshen sigh.
"Is Mushroom okay?"
At the mention of Mushroom, Lin Nuan's eyes welled up again. She couldn't help but lower her head even more. "Mushroom is gone."
Wen Moshen paused for a moment. After wiping his hands, he clenched the tissue in his hand. "When did that happen?"
"The day you came back."
"Yes …"
Wen Moshen responded in a low voice. She couldn't tell his emotions.
"So, you're afraid I'll be sad, so you don't dare to come see me?"
Wen Moshen found an excuse for Lin Nuan not to come see him for so long.
But Lin Nuan couldn't nod with a clear conscience, so she remained silent.
"Back then, when Mushroom entrusted himself to you, he was already very old. None of us can change the normal state of birth, old age, sickness, and death, so I was mentally prepared. But Nuan Nuan, I've been back for so long, even unimportant people have come to visit me. Why didn't you come?
Wen Moshen's voice was calm, but his question made Lin Nuan speechless.
She could hear the underlying meaning in Wen Moshen's words. He wasn't prepared for Lin Nuan not to visit him, so he was upset. That was probably what he meant.
Lin Nuan didn't know how to answer. Maybe it was because she had different feelings for Wen Moshen, so she couldn't be as shameless as him. She felt that no matter how she answered, it would seem ambiguous.
Wen Moshen stared at Lin Nuan without blinking.
So, he didn't miss the slight tightening of Lin Nuan's slender fingers, nor did he miss the minute movement of Lin Nuan lowering her head.
Wen Moshen's Adam's apple moved slightly. He didn't make things difficult for Lin Nuan anymore, but his voice became distant. "Nuan Nuan, after I came back, I realized that many things have changed …"
His words reminded Lin Nuan of what Gu Hanyan said at the entrance of the cafe a few days ago. Everything that belonged to Wen Moshen had been taken by his younger brother, Wen Moshi. She didn't want Wen Moshen to come back only to find nothing.
Gu Hanyan's words made her heart ache, but coming from Wen Moshen's mouth, it hurt even more.
Lin Nuan clenched her fists.
"So, Nuan Nuan, I don't want things to change between us."
Lin Nuan's eyes were sore and swollen, and the rims of her eyes were especially red.
"Okay … I got it." Lin Nuan suppressed the trembling in her voice and spoke in a low, nasal voice.
Between them, as long as Lin Nuan didn't say it out loud, she would still be Wen Moshen's good friend, Lin Chen's sister, and that would never change. Lin Nuan would bury those feelings in the deepest corner of her heart and never mention it again.
When she came out of the ward, she was still holding the apple in her hand.
The surface of the apple had already been oxidized to a rusty color. The top half of the apple was dented by Gu Hanyan, while the bottom half was beautifully shaved by Wen Moshen.
Lin Nuan wanted to throw the apple into the bin as she stood in front of the elevator, but she didn't move.
"Nuan Nuan …" Gu Hanyan called out to her.
Lin Nuan didn't look back. She casually threw the apple into the trash can, looking as if she didn't want to part with it.
Gu Hanyan bit her lip and went up to thank him. "Thank you for not telling Moshen about that."
