Chapter 308 - Chuyin’s Smile (Part Three)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I… want to…. smile…”
A simple wish, but it seemed to have used up all of Lin Chuyin’s energy.
After she said this, Lin Chuyin slowly lowered her head. She, who wouldn’t feel upset, didn’t know what kind of emotions to use to express her thoughts now.
Poor child.
Hong Dali stretched his hand and stroke her hair, and then gently said, “Chuyin, do you dare to loudly shout what you just said? Shout it out loud for the whole world to hear?”
Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, Lin Chuyin was obviously stunned for a while, and then she slowly shook her head.
With regards to this matter, she really lacked courage.
Ever since she had become sensible, she had never smiled. She didn’t have feelings of happiness or unhappiness. She was like a robot, eating on time every day, sleeping on time, researching on her science and technology on time. Those words that she had just said, “I want to smile,” were already what she had worked the hardest towards. Now that Hong Dali asked her to shout it out, how could she even manage to do that?
“Don’t be scared.” Hong Dali continued to speak softly, “With confidence, you might not win. But without confidence, you’ll definitely lose.”
Lin Chuyin thought carefully for a while more, and finally, she slowly opened her mouth and gently said, “I… want to… smile…” Her voice was very soft, totally unlike her normal style. If one didn’t listen carefully, one might not be able to hear anything at all.
But Hong Dali heard it clearly. He heard it very clearly.
He pulled Lin Chuyin’s hand and started to run out. As he ran, he laughed loudly. “Hahaha, come, Chuyin! Let’s find a good place for you to shout your wish out loudly! You can do it, you definitely can!”
The two of them held hands and started to run outside. Just then, the waiter became anxious. “Aye, Sir, you haven’t paid the bill…”
“I’m buying this shop!” Hong Dali casually took out a card from his pocket and threw it out. “Don’t go back on your words!”
“What the heck!” The waiter instantly became despondent as he mumbled to himself, “Do you think you’re Young Master Dali, buying a shop just like that…” Afterward, when he inserted the card into the card reader, he was instantly shocked and fell to the ground on his buttocks—
Remaining value in card: 3,654,897.00 yuan.
…
Hong Dali pulled Lin Chuyin and ran all the way towards Chenhui Building.
Since she was going to shout her wish out loudly, then where would be a better place than the rooftop of Chenhui Building?
“Quickly look, Young Master is back!” Lackeys with sharp eyes noticed Hong Dali pulling Lin Chuyin as they ran to the lobby of Chenhui Building. As he exclaimed, it instantly gathered everyone’s attention towards the window, “Where, where?” “It’s true, Young Master has really come back!” “Young Master is in such a rush, looks like there must be a new progression of things!” “Don’t talk rubbish, quickly follow them and take a look!”
Everyone instantly rushed downstairs. The fourth floor was not very high. Thus, the group didn’t have time to use the elevator and directly went down through the fire escape passageway. Because they were anxious, they took only around 20 seconds to get down from the fourth floor to the first floor…
When they had reached the first floor, Hong Dali had just entered with Lin Chuyin. As he ran, Hong Dali said, “Everyone, quickly make way. To the rooftop! Rooftop!”
A large group of people instantly made way and rushed into the elevator with Hong Dali. After they entered the elevator, they went all the way to the top floor, and Hong Dali and Ling Xiaoyi went onto the platform on the rooftop. Ling Xiaoyi and the rest followed from behind, and upon reaching the corner of the rooftop, Ling Xiaoyi and the rest of the lackeys were so scared that their legs almost became like jelly. Just then, Hong Dali let go of Lin Chuyin’s hand and cupped his hands by the corners of his mouth as he shouted loudly towards the sky in front of him, “Chuyin says, she wants to smile!”
Hong Dali’s voice was extremely loud as he shouted. At this place that was tens of meters above ground, it could actually allow people to hear him clearly. “Chuyin—says—she—wants—to—smile—”
“Come! Come! Shout it out!” After he had finished shouting, Hong Dali continuously cheered Lin Chuyin on. “Shout your wish out loudly! Shout it out! You can do it, you definitely can!”
“I… want to… smile…” Upon receiving encouragement from Hong Dali, Lin Chuyin finally gained some confidence and cupped her two little hands by the corners of her mouth and shouted, “I… want to… smile…”
“Not enough, not enough!” Hong Dali loudly exclaimed, “You’re too soft! Not loud enough! Do it after me! I—want to—smile—!!!”
“I—want to—smile—!!!” She had cast away all hesitations, let go of the chains and locks in her heart, let go of everything. Lin Chuyin desperately shouted loudly, “I—want to—smile—!!!”
“Hahahaha! Good! That’s the way!” Hong Dali laughed heartily and continued to cheer Lin Chuyin on. “Don’t stop, just continue shouting like that!”
By then, Lin Chuyin finally found some emotions back, as she continuously shouted at the top of her lungs, “I—want to—smile—!!!” “I—want to—smile—!!!” “I—want to—smile—!!!”
Once she started, she couldn’t stop anymore.
Lin Chuyin repeated these few words again and again.
Right until she was left with no more energy to shout and had no more reservations.
Towards the end, Lin Chuyin lethargically sat on the floor. Suddenly, the muscles on her face gently twitched, and the corners of her mouth that were originally pressed together had actually slightly moved upwards…
Hong Dali was instantly stunned, as he stared at Lin Chuyin’s face for a long time in a daze. Afterward, he mumbled as if he were talking in his dreams, “Chuyin, you.. you smiled… you smiled…”
He mumbled for a few times, then suddenly, as if he’d gone crazy, he jumped and shouted and wildly exclaimed loudly, “Chuyin has smiled, hahahahaha! Chuyin has smiled ahhhh!”
“Chuyin has smiled, hahahahaha! Chuyin has smiled ahhhh!”
His voice was very loud, the loud sounds of laughter resounding ceaselessly in the sky…
Tang Muxin, Ling Xiaoyi and the rest who were watching silently from behind had all covered their mouths with tears running down their faces.
Lin Chuyin, who all along had no feelings, no troubles, and no happiness, under the assistance of Hong Dali, had finally made the most crucial step in her life. This was a small step, but to Hong Dali and the rest, it was huge!
“Miracle, this is a miracle!” Mu Yuxi understood quite a lot about matters regarding Lin Chuyin. Upon seeing this scene, she mumbled as tears ran down her face, “Young Master Dali’s power can probably touch even the heavens…”
Catherine looked at Hong Dali, and for the first time, her face had gone all red.
She wasn’t blushing because of some type of romantic feeling between a man and a woman, but because she was ashamed of what she was doing.
She had to monitor even such a genuine, pure and kind-hearted person like Hong Dali. That made her sense of guilt worsen even more. Perhaps, someday, that racial and national boundary between her heart would have the same end as Lin Chuyin, completely collapsing.
The smile came very quickly and went very quickly as well.
In no time, Lin Chuyin’s expression as she looked at Hong Dali had resumed once again to that expressionless look.
But at the corners of her eyes were tears that continuously flowed.
Hong Dali went forward and gently hugged Lin Chuyin in his arms, as he gently said, “Cry, just cry it out, what’s more satisfying than this? Though you still can’t feel it, someday you’ll definitely understand…”
Lin Chuyin’s tears this time flowed continuously for over 10 minutes before it finally stopped.
A crack had already appeared on that wall around her heart. Would the day where it was completely shattered be far away?
After this incident, Lin Chuyin had gotten closer to Hong Dali. She even used her hand to tug at the edge of Hong Dali’s clothes, without speaking a word. But looking at her face, she was like a kitten that had just found its owner.
“Come! Everyone, let’s go together!” Hong Dali brought Lin Chuyin along as he snapped his fingers. “Let’s go to the amusement park! Today, we’ll play whatever Chuyin wants to play!”
“OK!” Everyone cheered in high spirits!
Lin Chuyin smiled. This was the biggest surprise today. The group instantly went downstairs and got into the car. Lin Chuyin was extremely dependent towards Hong Dali now, and she didn’t even drive that super cool sports car of hers and only pulled the edge of Hong Dali’s clothes. Though she was expressionless, she refused to let go no matter what.
Tang Muxin carried Little Meow with one hand and placed her other arm around Lin Chuyin’s shoulder without the slightest bit of jealousy.
With regards to Lin Chuyin, any woman definitely wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards her, because there was definitely no need to.
Fairytale Kingdom Amusement Park.
Hong Dali pulled Lin Chuyin and entered the place. Once they entered, he cheered. “Hahahahaha! I’ll book this place today!”
Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, Ling Xiaoyi and the rest collapsed. Everyone recalled again about the scene where Hong Dali went to book Ye Lai Xiang back then—that time, there still weren’t many people at Ye Lai Xiang, so he didn’t spend much money. But this time, it was an entire amusement park, and there were probably close to ten thousand people judging by the crowd. Booking the entire place…
Why should they be scared, Young Master is rich! Filthy rich!
The group of lackeys instantly went to find the manager of the amusement park, and once they entered they threw a card on the table. “Our Young Master wants to book the place. This is 5 million yuan. If it’s not enough, there’s still more. Do as you deem fit!”
How confident did this sound? Once it was heard that Young Master had arrived, who wouldn’t give him face? Thus, the amusement park manager fiercely nodded. “Sure, sure, no problem! Please feel free to make any requests!”
Very soon, the big loudspeaker in the amusement park wildly sounded, “The amusement park has been booked by Young Master today. The whole place is free of charge, all the tourists that have come to play, feel free to play anything you want to, you won’t be disadvantaged or fall for any tricks. The Fairytale Kingdom Amusement Park guarantees with its moral quality that it’s definitely credible and trustworthy…”
Once these words had sounded, all the tourists in the amusement park were stunned at first, then there were sounds of cheers all around—
“Hahahaha! Young Master has arrived! Long live!” “Long live Young Master Hong Dali! Dali creates miracles!” “I have never thought that I would actually chance upon Young Master booking the place in this lifetime!” “Hahahaha! Young Master has booked the place, then what are we waiting for, there’s definitely be no problem about it!” “Mummy, I want to sit in the flying ship!” “Sure, Young Master has booked the place today, you can play whatever you want to!”
Hong Dali pulled Lin Chuyin along, and Tang Muxin and the rest followed all the way from behind. The people along the way, upon seeing them, made way, greeted and saluted them. Hong Dali roared with laughter. “Chuyin, come, let’s play to our heart’s content today!”
