Chapter 149

"..."

Samson Nan seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, looking out of the car window.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment of pause, he finally turned around.

"Let's go."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently touched her head.

He sidestepped to walk past her, but she quickly blocked him.

"..."

She looked up, staring at him intently.

"Hey..."

Samson Nan sighed softly, shifting his feet and taking a half step to the left, then quickly darting to the right with a feint motion.

Thinking he could slip away, he was grabbed by her from behind.

"Let go."

"I won't."

"Okay."

He raised his hand, not wanting to run anymore, and looked down at Raina Nan.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Answer my question first..."

"What question?"

"You!"

She stared at him, her ears turning red.

It was a despicable trick to ask something she already knew the answer to... but it made it even harder for her to speak...

"Just... just..."

She gritted her teeth, her gaze shifting uncertainly.

"That kiss..."

"Oh, that."

Samson Nan interrupted her, scratching his head and looking out the window.

"..."

A brief silence.

"If I were to say that it was..."

"If you dare to say it was an accident, believe me, I'll kill you."

Raina Nan also interrupted him, pointing at him.

"..."

Samson Nan was taken aback, probably not expecting her sudden assertiveness.

"Hey, do you have to be so fierce? It's not good for a little girl to be violent."

He laughed and patted her shoulder.

"Don't act all friendly with me!"

She seemed to have no mood to joke with him at all.

"Little One, do you want me to cry..."

"Humph!"

"Raina, I..."

"..."

Clasping her hands tightly, she looked at him.

"..."

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, she lowered her head again and muttered softly, "Can you answer my question properly..."

Cry? She was the one who wanted to cry for real.

She was speechless. This person didn't answer a single question and kept beating around the bush with her...

...

"Raina...!"

Just as the two were frozen there, Bell Tong ran into this carriage.

She glanced at the situation before her.

"You guys..."

Looking around, she saw that neither of them said anything.

Then she spoke again, "Sorry for interrupting, you guys seem busy..."

About to leave

"Bell Tong!"

Samson Nan called her back.

"What's up?"

"Huh? Oh..."

Bell Tong stopped in her tracks and stood there, glancing at Raina Nan, who remained silent beside them.

"Well... I was just informing that this train won't stop in the middle, so I asked if you guys would like to order lunch from the train."

"Oh, it's already this late."

Samson Nan looked at the time, it was already noon.

"Let's go, let's have lunch."

As he spoke, he bent down to hold her hand.

"..."

Raina Nan glanced at him and quickly shook off his hand.

"I can walk by myself."

"Oh, look at you, being able to walk by yourself now."

"!"

She was furious and kicked his shin.

Then she walked to the front on her own.

"What's wrong with her?"

Bell Tong turned around and looked at him.

"She's on her period."

He rubbed his shin and whispered.

"I advise you not to provoke her."

"Provoke her? We've always communicated like this, any objections?"

"Hey, who do you think you are? I'm just reminding you out of kindness, okay?!"

"Then let me give you some advice too, mind your own business."

He said and walked to the front as well.

"..."

Bell Tong stood there, puzzled.

After a while, she regained her senses.

"What the hell? Are you crazy?"

"..."

When the train arrived in Oslo, it was already evening.

There were still two hours left until the flight back home, and a few people were waiting in the airport lounge.

"Who should I talk to?"

William Wei leaned over and stared at Jocelyn York's phone screen.

"Zhuan Yan wanted to come and see us off, but I told her not to..."

"It's so late, don't bother her~"

"Yeah."

Jocelyn York put down her phone and glanced at Samson Nan sitting across from her.

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

She whispered,

"What's wrong with them?"

"What?"

"Haven't you noticed? Samson Nan hasn't said a word to Yuyu all the way."

"Oh~"

William Wei thought for a moment and lowered his voice.

"You don't know, when you went to the train station this morning, they haven't been acting right since they had breakfast~"

"Really? What happened?"

"I have no idea."

William Wei shrugged and smiled.

"If you're interested, you can go ask him~"

"..."

Yun Luo froze for a moment, stood up, and sat down next to him.

She slightly turned her face and saw that he was staring at his phone screen, seemingly unaware of her presence.

She didn't say anything either, took out her earphones from her bag and prepared to put them on.

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Samson Nan spoke, turning his head to look at her.

"Nothing, really."

She stammered and straightened up.

After a brief pause, she spoke again in a soft voice,

"What are you looking at?"

"Hmm?"

He paused for a moment and glanced at his phone.

"Oh, my dad is asking when we'll be home."

"I see~"

Ding Dong.

The phone received another message.

Samson Nan glanced at it but didn't read it.

Ding Dong.

Ding Dong, Ding Dong...

Messages kept popping up.

"...Aren't you going to read them?"

"Ah..."

Samson Nan smiled wryly and handed her the phone.

"Who is it..."

She saw a page of messages on the screen.

"Are you there?"

"When will you guys come back?"

"Is my sister there?"

"Don't you have signal there?"

"Give me a call when you see this"

"Is she sick?"

"Are you there?"

...

...

"..."

Jocelyn York felt goosebumps appearing all over her body.

"Who's this..."

"..."

Samson Nan raised his chin and pointed to Roxie Lin in front of them.

"Her sister."

"Uh..."

Jocelyn York covered her mouth and revealed an awkward expression.

"This person is really something, sending over twenty messages every day... I can't take it anymore."

"Haha, why doesn't she just directly contact Ruoxi?"

Jocelyn York found it funny. She had only met Roxie Lin's sister once during a parent-teacher meeting and remembered her as someone who didn't talk much.

"What can she do? It's about face~"

"Just like you?"

"..."

He fell silent and smiled wryly, shaking his head.

"...Am I that crazy?"

"Um..."

She furrowed her brows slightly and, surprisingly, started to think seriously.

After a while, she held up two fingers and pinched them together.

"Just a little bit."

"..."

Samson Nan was speechless as he looked at her.

"Can we have a proper conversation now?"

"Haha, nope."

She laughed while covering her mouth.

"..."

He didn't say anything, leaned back on the seat's backrest, and looked up at the dome above the waiting hall.

After a short silence, he spoke again in a low voice:

"It's strange... me like this."

"..."

Jocelyn York propped her chin up, smiling lightly as if lost in thought.

She turned her head and looked at him.

"I definitely wouldn't dare to make things up~"

"..."

Samson Nan bit his lip and glanced at her.

Finally, he revealed a hint of resignation in his smile.

"Then let's not talk about it."

...

"But, you know..."

She stood up and took two steps forward.

Then she turned back and looked at him.

"I just feel sorry for Raina."

After saying that, she walked forward.

"..."

Samson Nan was speechless, standing there in a daze.

Wasn't throwing out a statement like that even more distressing...

...

"Samson Nan! Let's go!"

It was time to board, William Wei's voice came from up ahead.

"Oh."

He responded, hesitating before standing up as well.

When he arrived at the boarding gate, everyone was already there.

Bell Tong was laughing and joking with Roxie Lin, he didn't know about what.

Samson Nan looked left and right.

"Wait, where's Raina Nan?"

"Hmm?"

Only then did Roxie Lin realize.

"Oh right, where's Little Rain?"

"She didn't come with you guys?"

"She said she went to the bathroom, and then..."

Bell Tong started to panic a bit, glancing at the time. There were less than half an hour left from boarding to takeoff.

"Call her, call her!"

He dialed her number, but no one answered.

"I'll go find her!"

"You guys go ahead."

Samson Nan grabbed Bell Tong.

"Tell the ticket checker that we're missing someone, I'll be right back."

"Okay, hurry up!"

"It'll be quick..."

He said, turning around and rushing out.

He went to the bathroom first and shouted a few times, but there was no response.

Then he rushed to the waiting hall. Even though it was a midnight flight, there were still quite a few people in the vast waiting hall.

It wasn't easy to find someone.

He looked around anxiously.

"Raina Nan!"

"南...!"

As he shouted, someone poked him from behind.

He turned around.

"Little One? Where did you run off to?"

"..."

Raina Nan stood there, not saying a word.

"Why are you still here? We need to board, you know!"

He reached out to pull her, but she took a step back, avoiding him.

"..."

"No, what do you mean by this?"

Samson Nan stared at her with a puzzled expression.

"..."

She remained silent and looked to the side.

"I don't want to go back."

"Huh?!"

He thought he heard it wrong.

"Are you crazy, girl?"

He said, reaching out again.

This time, she moved her hand behind her back.

"..."

"What do you mean?"

"..."

"Are you saying you want to stay here and not go?"

"..."

Without looking at him, she nodded.

"Hey, don't you have any common sense? Staying here as an illegal immigrant?"

"It's none of your business..."

"You're really something, Raina Nan~"

He sneered and furrowed his brows.

"..."

"I guess it won't be long until you're deported as an illegal immigrant, and then we'll go to the embassy to pick you up, heh~ That scene, it'll be quite glorious!"

"..."

She still ignored his scolding and continued to look to the side.

Samson Nan lowered his head and looked at her slightly blurred profile under the lights.

After a long while, he put away the smile on his face and spoke softly:

"Have you thought it through?"

He said, his voice becoming much deeper.

"I have."

Her response came without hesitation, almost half a second later.

"Is that so..."

He let out a sigh.

"Suit yourself."

Unexpectedly, he actually compromised.

"..."

"Since you're leaving, is there anything you want to say to your older brother?"

"..."

She paused for two seconds.

"No."

"Okay."

He didn't say anything more.

He took a few steps back.

"Take care of yourself."

He said weakly, turned around, and walked away.

"..."

She stood still, dumbfounded.

Her heart was beating fast.

Turning around, his figure had already disappeared from her sight.

...

She looked at the direction he had left for a long time.

Suddenly, her body felt like it had been disconnected from electricity, and she slumped to the ground.

Silently, she rested her forehead against the glass partition of the waiting hall.

Through the huge glass, she could see aircrafts outside, taking off with crimson wing lights flashing on the runway.

"..."

She didn't know what she was doing.

She even forgot what she had just said to him.

Her shoulders trembled slightly as she covered her mouth, preventing any unnecessary sounds from escaping.

But when she closed her eyes, hot tears couldn't stop flowing...

An overwhelming feeling of exhaustion spread through her body in an instant.

It was all over...

...

...

Suddenly, a force pulled her up.

Before she could react, she found herself lifted on his shoulders...

"?!?!"

She opened her eyes abruptly.

When she regained her senses, she realized that he had her supported on his shoulder.

It was Samson Nan...

"Let me down!"

"Behave yourself!"

He ran like a hunter carrying a wild boar.

"Put me down!"

She struggled, but it was in vain.

"I told you not to bother me!"

"Shut up! Do you think I can just let you go?!"

He yelled, raising his voice.

"I'm telling you, Raina Nan, ahh!"

Before he could finish his sentence, she fiercely bit his neck.

"Little One, are you a dog or what?!"

"..."

He endured the pain while running.

But suddenly, there was no sound from behind.

"Little One?"

...

He called out, but there was no response.

"Yuyu?"

"Still alive!"

Although she hadn't completely given up resistance, her voice became much quieter.

"Are you crying?"

"Mind your own business..."

She sniffled, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

All the foreigners around them were looking at them, which made her want to find a hole to hide in.

"Little One, do you realize how embarrassed you look? You're going through this with me just before I leave?"

"It's all your fault!"

"I..."

He was speechless.

"Okay, okay, blame me. You want to hit or scold me when we're on the plane?"

"Is that what you want?"

"I said it, I said it!"

"..."

She seemed to quiet down a little after that.

Her lips trembled slightly as she muttered softly.

"If I ask you to jump off the plane, would you?"

"Oh my god, so cruel?"

"Would you jump?!"

She pinched his back forcefully.

"Jump, jump, jump! Are you happy now?"

"..."

"You're acting like a lunatic..."

He muttered to himself.

"Say that again?!"

"No..."

...
