Chapter 39 Reunion
Is it a dream?
Carole kept asking herself questions.
On countless quiet nights, she would return to the café again and again to see the figure she longed for day and night.
However, when she woke up again in the morning, there was nothing left but a pillowcase soaked with tears.
Caroline stood there, stunned and at a loss, but clear tears were already glistening in her sky-blue eyes.
Mu Feng put down the cookies he was holding, leaned down slightly, and tightly embraced the tearful Caroline.
"I'm sorry, Caroline."
The familiar warmth enveloped little Carolie, making her feel a little dazed.
It seems...it really isn't a dream.
There was no doubt, nor was there any need to ask.
This is the past she is desperately chasing.
The suppressed sobs of Caroline in his arms gradually turned into a heart-wrenching wail. She held Mu Feng tightly and cried as if she wanted to melt herself into his embrace.
"I... Waaaaaah, I'm so sorry... It's all my fault... Waaaaaah..."
Mu Feng cupped Caroline's face in his hands and gently wiped away the tears streaming down the little girl's face.
Looking directly into Caroline's tear-filled eyes, Mu Feng spoke with utmost seriousness:
"No need to apologize, Caroline."
"Everything is alright now."
Mu Feng's gentle gaze gradually calmed Carolie's surging guilt. The little girl buried her head deeply in Mu Feng's arms, silently shedding tears.
Mu Feng gently patted Caroline's back, carefully smoothing the little one's slightly messy pink hair, letting the little one's tears slowly soak the front of her shirt...
If this is also a dream...
Then,
She would rather never wake up again.
……
"Are you feeling better, little turtle?"
After a long while, Mu Feng gently patted Carolie's soft little ears and jokingly spoke to ease the oppressive atmosphere.
Caroline responded sullenly, but remained nestled in Mu Feng's arms, refusing to get up.
With a look of doting affection in his eyes, Mu Feng shook his head helplessly and could only continue to hold the soft Carol tightly, providing the little one with some sense of security.
Mu Feng reached out and picked out the best-looking butter biscuit from the plate on the table, gently feeding it to Carolie's lips.
Carolie raised her little head slightly, took a small bite, her sky-blue eyes lit up instantly, and she swallowed the cookie in a few bites.
Mu Feng continued to feed Carolie with a cheerful smile. With Carolie chewing like a little hamster, a plate of freshly baked cookies was quickly emptied.
"No, you little glutton."
Mu Feng teased, extending his index finger and tapping Carolie's chubby cheeks, which were stuffed with cookies, making the little girl shake her ears in embarrassment and annoyance.
Mu Feng smiled and turned to clean up the crumbs on the table. Caroline nestled in Mu Feng's arms, secretly raising her beautiful sapphire eyes to gaze intently at Mu Feng's profile, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Brother Mufeng...
Perhaps, the only cookies in the world made by you.
Only then can you taste the flavor of happiness.
After tidying up the table, Mu Feng prepared to get up and return to the kitchen. However, before he could take a step, a small, round hand tightly grabbed his sleeve.
Mu Feng turned around in surprise, only to find Caroline clinging to him tightly, her light blue eyes glistening with fearful tears.
"do not go……"
She is afraid.
I'm afraid this is a cruel joke of fate.
She feared that her current happiness was just a fleeting dream, and that once Mu Feng disappeared from her sight, he would never return.
Hearing Caroline's pitiful voice, Mu Feng's heart tightened instantly, and he quickly picked up the little one and comforted her gently.
Damn system, you deserve to die.
System: [6]
Perhaps due to the intense emotional fluctuations, Caroline gradually relaxed under Mu Feng's comforting words, and her fatigue slowly returned.
Feeling the warmth of Mu Feng's embrace, Caroline gradually fell into a deep sleep in Mu Feng's arms. The tear stains in her eyes had long since dried, but a sweet smile remained on her lips.
Even as she fell into a deep sleep, Caroline's arms remained tightly wrapped around Mu Feng, as if she were afraid he would vanish into thin air at any moment.
Night deepens, and the long night will soon be over.
……
As dawn breaks and the sky gradually turns a pale white, the signs of human habitation slowly rise in Fontaine, announcing the arrival of a brand new day.
This was also the most peaceful night's sleep Caroline had had in the past four hundred years.
"Hmm...it's dawn now..."
Carol rubbed her eyes, turned her head, and saw Mu Feng half-lying on the edge of the bed, fast asleep.
At this moment, she was still tightly holding Mu Feng's arm in her arms.
Caroline stuck out her tongue, carefully withdrew her arm, propped her chin on her hand, and gazed at Mu Feng by the bedside with a sweet smile.
How long has it been since Brother Mufeng left that she smiled like this?
However, that no longer matters.
Now, all she can feel is happiness, and a happiness that is more fulfilling every second than the last.
"Chirp."
Caroline secretly planted a kiss on Mu Feng's forehead, then blushed and hid back in the soft quilt, gradually entering a cute, warm state.
"ha………"
Seemingly awakened by the little one's movements, Mu Feng stretched and yawned, waking up slowly without realizing it.
Good morning, Brother Mufeng.
Caroline peeked her little head out from under the covers and greeted Mu Feng with a sweet smile, saying good morning.
"Good morning, Caroline."
Mu Feng watched as Caroline darted into his arms, and groggily ruffled the little one's slightly messy pink hair.
Carol snuggled affectionately into Mu Feng's arms, which made Mu Feng, who was about to get up to prepare breakfast, feel helpless again.
Caroline has become clingy...
Mu Feng gently tapped Caroline's forehead, and was pulled and dragged into the kitchen by the little girl.
"Carole, can you let go for a moment?"
"I can't knead the dough anymore."
"No, what if Brother Mufeng disappears again?"
Mu Feng's half-moon eyes said, "I'm not a magician..."
Caroline put her hands on her hips, pouted, and grabbed Mu Feng's hand, tucking it tightly into her bosom.
"I'm really defeated by you..." Mu Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead in revenge, then rubbed Caroline's face with his flour-covered hands, which made the little girl make a face again.
Sunlight quietly streamed into the kitchen, casting a hazy glow on Mu Feng's back.
Caroline watched all this with a gentle gaze, lightly rubbing her cheek against Mu Feng's arm, tears welling up in her eyes once again.
However, this time it's not for the distant past, but for happiness that's within reach.
The idea of going back to the past will forever remain in my heart.
But she will no longer choose to run away.
Because the future is right before her eyes.
