"What? Miss Lin, you are so stupid that you are hopeless..."

"You will always be my precious daughter. Don't worry about the money. Dad will take care of it. Just give me some time..."

"A rich lady like you has no idea what ordinary people are like. You are used to being high and mighty, arrogant and stupid. You deserve this fate..."

……

The hazy and interlaced images were like a worn-out old TV playing black and white and grey scenes, intermittent, sometimes stopping and sometimes speeding up, making it difficult to see clearly.

There is only one protagonist in the story, and that is Lin Yaner.

She was in it, deeply trapped in this unknown quagmire and unable to extricate herself. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

Born, grew up, died...

Frame by frame, scene by scene, played over and over again.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

She doesn't want to watch it! She doesn't want to watch it at all!!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A familiar and gentle voice sounded, not loud but convincing enough.

It’s Lin Zhilin!

Lin Yan'er suddenly opened her eyes and escaped from the strange and broken dream.

She found herself being held tightly in someone's arms. When she looked up, she met a pair of beautiful eyes with red at the corners.

"You...cryed?"

Lin Yan'er reached out and touched his face, touching his long and curled eyelashes, and wet her fingers.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he bowed his head in her palm, his voice hoarse and tired: "Don't leave me..."

"I am afraid."

This was the first time she saw Lin Zhilin so vulnerable. He seemed like a fragile object that would break at the slightest touch.

At this moment, Lin Yan'er felt the same feeling from him that her father had experienced, no, it was different from that from her father.

Her slow brain short-circuited at this moment, just as it always did.

She couldn't think of anything.

"Lin Zhilin..."

Lin Yan'er held his face and whispered, "Am I... stupid?"

I was so stupid that I ended up committing suicide in my previous life, and living again won’t change anything.

"Everyone in this world can deceive me. No one cannot deceive me. In their eyes, I am just a brainless and vicious female supporting role. I am so stupid. Everyone is laughing at me..."

"I hate Li Weiming, but I always seem to use stupid ways to deal with her. I like Si Nanheng, but he doesn't like me at all, and I always do stupid things to make him hate me..."

"I can't protect the ones I want to protect. I can only watch the Nan family go to a dead end. I can't even do well myself, and I was cheated of my money. The scammer was full of loopholes and his methods were simple, but I was still foolishly deceived..."

"How can there be someone as stupid as me in the world? I'm stupid and no one likes me."

As she spoke, Lin Yaner's tears rolled down her eyes. At this moment, she really felt that she was stupid and could not do anything well.

It does nothing but cause trouble.

Lin Zhilin gently wiped away her tears and said softly, "How could my eldest daughter be stupid?"

"If you really want to deceive someone, no matter how smart that person is, it's useless. Smart people have their own ways of deceiving. My eldest daughter is not stupid. Those who have not been deceived or have escaped being deceived are just lucky and unaware that they have not been targeted by real scammers."

"I've also been cheated, and I've been laughed at like a stupid stalker. I also have people I hate, and I can't deal with them even if I want to. I also have people I like, but they don't like me, and it seems like nothing I do can make them like me."

He held her in his arms again, leaned his head on Lin Yaner's shoulder and whispered softly.

"I couldn't protect the people I wanted to protect. I watched the tragedy happen. I couldn't even do anything well for myself. I was a failure. How can someone like me be considered smart?"

"Miss, please don't look down on me for being stupid."

He would never dislike her for being stupid.

Lin Yaner looked up, her eyes misty: "Really?"

Lin Zhilin nodded.

As early as the first time they met, he knew what kind of person she was, and it was exactly people like her that he liked.

"Don't cry, my lady."

"You're not stupid."

"I promise."

Lin Zhilin raised his hand to swear, and his hand was held by Lin Yaner. She choked with tears and said, "You are not stupid, so, so don't say that about yourself."

Lin Yaner took the initiative to kiss his lips, and separated after a few seconds. She said seriously: "So you are not allowed to cry. I will protect you. Don't be afraid."

Their eyes met and he smiled, "Well, thank you for your protection, Miss."

He did not choose to ask why she suddenly rushed to the wall and chose to commit suicide that day, just as he never asked her how she became invisible the previous time.

Some answers don't need to be asked.

Instead, Lin Yaner couldn't help but ask about what happened that day. She said with a conflicted look on her face: "Nan family... Nan Huai... my sister..."

"She's fine, and the Nan family is fine too."

Lin Zhilin knew what she was worried about and told her the good news directly.

“No, nothing’s wrong?”

Lin Yan'er was a little bit unbelievable. That day, she saw with her own eyes so many people gathered at the Nan family to divide up the Nan family's pie, and Nan Huai was also driven to insanity and hit his head against the wall to commit suicide...

At that time, she was also affected by the other party's emotions and wanted to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall. After that... she couldn't remember anything.

"Well, it's okay. Her father is not dead. He was sent to the hospital in time and was successfully rescued. It's just that the Nan family is not the same Nan family as before. The sister Nan Huai you care about should have left here with her family and started a new life in another place."

"Do you want to call them? I can give you the contact information."

Lin Zhilin took out his cell phone, clicked on his address book interface, and pointed to a number with the note "Nan Family" and showed it to her.

This was undoubtedly a surprise for Lin Yan'er, so surprising that she even thought Lin Zhilin was lying to her. She simply took the other party's phone and dialed the number.

In just a few seconds, the call was connected.

The voice on the other end was very respectful and polite: "Master Lin, you——"

"Sister Nan Huai, it's me!"

Lin Yan'er recognized the voice and happily called out the other person's name.

When the person on the other end of the phone heard Lin Yaner's voice, he was stunned for a moment, and his tone immediately changed. He asked in surprise: "Are you awake? You fainted before and scared me to death!"

Lin Yan'er didn't understand what she meant, and scratched her head and asked, "Didn't you bang your head against the wall at that time?" Why would she be scared by her?

"Then you didn't see Lin Zhilin—" The other end suddenly paused, then said, "He was very worried about you and kept holding you tightly. You kept struggling to die, and he wanted to die more than I did. That made me wake up."

"Ah? Did I look scary at that time?"

Lin Yan'er couldn't remember. At that time, all she wanted to do was die and repeat her actions in her previous life.

Very strange.

"Yes, you looked scary at that time, really scary. If you didn't know, you would think you were the poor young lady of the Nan family. What happened to you at that time? Are you okay now?"

Nan Huai began to care about her health and avoided the previous topic.

Lin Yaner replied honestly: "I don't know, it just happened suddenly, but I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, I just had a bad nightmare."

"That's good, that's good." Nan Huai said thankfully, "Fortunately you're okay."

From the tone of her voice, if one didn't know better, one would think that a knife was put down from her neck.

"Don't just focus on me. How are you? How is the Nan family? Why do you suddenly want to live in a different place? I still want to see you."

Lin Yan'er felt a little sorry. Lin Zhilin, who was beside her, held her hand and said gently, "If you want to see her, you can. I think Miss Nan should have time."

The phone was on speakerphone, and Lin Zhilin's voice was heard on the other end. Nan Huai responded hastily, "Yes, yes, yes, I have time, plenty of time, you can come whenever you want, I'm always free, really!"

Lin Yaner felt that Nan Huai's speech was strange, different from before.

So she pushed Lin Zhilin away and said, "Don't listen to us talking here. You're making it difficult for us to talk. Get out now."

"Okay." Lin Zhilin stood up obediently and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you need something to eat? I'll go downstairs and get it for you."

Lin Yan'er was indeed a little hungry. She touched her stomach and said, "I want to eat mousse cake and ice cream cone!"

"Your body can't eat anything too cold right now. Can you eat something else?"

"Then let's eat..." Lin Yan'er thought for a moment before saying, "I want to eat chopped pepper fish head and vinegar-fried potato shreds! You go make them for me, I didn't get to eat them last time!"

"it is good."

Lin Zhilin left.

After the door was closed, Lin Yaner said to the phone: "Sister Nanhuai, just say whatever you want to say. He is not here anymore."

"Lin Zhilin..."
