Chapter 57 - Bian JinYuan Reached Out to Pull Him Into His Embrace

Lu YunFei didn’t say anything further. He had actually wanted to tell Bian JinYuan that he didn’t care about these, but he wound up not saying anything. He stood at the top of a mountain, where it was easy to admire the blossoming flowers. People at the foot of the mountain who wanted to climb up to the top in order to attain the view of snow needed to put in so much effort.

He was different from Bian JinYuan. While they were both gifted, his upbringing was much more fortunate than Bian JinYuan’s.

At this thought, Lu YunFei felt for Bian JinYuan. He reached out to grab Bian JinYuan’s hand, and to Bian JinYuan’s surprise in the car, said gently, “Alright,” He said, “I’ll go only when you want me to visit some day.”

Bian JinYuan looked at him quietly. After a while, he nodded his head.

Even though it was snowing, there was surprisingly smooth traffic. The cab had arrived at the train station for Bian JinYuan’s stop within less than half an hour, and he and Lu YunFei said their goodbyes before he alighted.

Under the lightly falling snow, the people on the road were bustling. Bian JinYuan stood by the roadside as he watched the cab with Lu YunFei slowly depart, before turning to head home.

He walked slowly, pondering on Lu YunFei’s words, “We’re so close to each other now, I still can’t visit your home?” If, he thought, if his home wasn’t this way, but the one in which his mother and him had lived in when he was young, or if it was like Bian Jie and Jiang Feng’s home which he had later stayed in, then he probably wouldn’t have rejected Lu YunFei.

Back then, the house that they stayed in was simple too, and was the most average-looking apartment. While it couldn’t be compared to Lu YunFei’s house, it was still a part of the majority of households. But now, it was a dilapidated house with no space, no, where the water tap and toilet were common-use. Two of these houses joined together wouldn’t even be as large as Lu YunFei’s bedroom. With this sort of place, how could he think to let Lu YunFei visit?

This was the first time that Bian JinYuan realized that he could also get self-conscious.

He had always been one to do whatever he wanted, uncaring for the judgment of others. He didn’t care for a lot of people, they were merely passersby to him. From a young age, he knew that he was accomplished due to the constant praises from teachers and family, and had never put his poverty to mind. Yet now, whenever Lu YunFei looked at him, and when Lu YunFei brought up visiting him home, he retracted for the first time.

He was afraid to find shock and disappointment in Lu YunFei’s eyes, and was also afraid to find pity from him. He had always been very clear on the fact that he and Lu YunFei lived in different worlds. However, despite that, he strove to attain fresh flowers, gems, and precious treasures to give them to Lu YunFei. That way, they would be on level ground.

But the thought of Lu YunFei entering his world and opening the door, to find that there was nothing behind it, that all those precious things were not easy to attain, but were the only things that he could display at the door.

His home and his world were barren wastelands, devoid of jewels and life. There was nothing in it, only him.

The snow fell even harder, landing on his shoulders and hair. He walked quietly along the street in the snow, in between the light and shadows of the night.

As he walked past a small shop, he heard a song being played. The male singer’s enunciation wasn’t very clear, but the melody was soothing.

“I want to take you to my grandmother’s home. To watch the sunset together, until we both fall asleep~”
