An Lingrong after rebirth

The middle-aged man stood quietly by, looking at the children's innocent smiles, and couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart.

The two smiled at each other, as if there was a tacit understanding flowing between them.

As time goes by, Lu Hao and Xiao Lingrong's feelings become deeper and deeper. Maybe this is friendship!

As the days passed, Lu Hao and Xiao Lingrong spent many happy times together. They admired the flowers and the moon, read and wrote together, and the two young hearts became closer and closer.

On this day, Lu Hao received a letter, it turned out that his father wanted him to go to the capital to take the imperial examination. Lu Hao understood that this was his chance to change his fate, but he was reluctant to leave Xiao Lingrong.

On the eve of their separation, Lu Hao and Xiao Lingrong met in the garden. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them and illuminating each other's faces.

Lu Hao took out a carefully prepared gift and handed it to Xiao Lingrong: "I made this for you, I hope you like it." Xiao Lingrong opened the box, and inside was a crystal clear crystal bracelet, flickering with a faint light.

Xiao Lingrong was so moved that her eyes moistened: "Brother Lu, I will definitely cherish you. You should also work hard, and I'm waiting for you to come back with your name on the list of successful candidates." Lu Hao nodded and held Xiao Lingrong's hand tightly: "I will, wait for me to come back."

The next day, Lu Hao set out on his journey to the capital. Xiao Lingrong stood at the door, watching him leave from afar, her heart filled with reluctance and blessings.

Time flies, and several years have passed. Lu Hao finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. He returned to his hometown with joy, wanting to share this joy with Xiao Lingrong.

However, when he arrived at the An family, he learned that Xiao Lingrong's family had already moved away and their whereabouts were unknown. Lu Hao felt very disappointed and asked around for news about Xiao Lingrong, but he still had no clues.

One day, when Lu Hao was walking on the street, he accidentally saw a familiar figure. He looked closely and found that it was Xiao Lingrong!

After not seeing her for many years, she had grown into a graceful young lady. Lu Hao walked up to her excitedly and called out her name.

Xiao Lingrong turned around and saw Lu Hao, with a look of surprise on her face. Brother Lu, long time no see!

The two smiled at each other, and thousands of words turned into a hug. Since then, they often get together to reminisce about the past.

Gradually, Lu Hao discovered that his feelings for Xiao Lingrong were no longer just brotherly love, but more of admiration.

Lu Hao decided to confess his love to Xiao Lingrong, and he carefully prepared a romantic date. On a beautiful night, they came to the lake, where the stars twinkled and the lake surface sparkled.

Lu Hao gently took Xiao Lingrong's hand, looked into her eyes lovingly, and expressed his feelings.

After hearing this, Xiao Lingrong's face flushed with shyness, and a hint of surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes.

She gently responded to Lu Hao's gaze and told him that she only treated him as a brother. Lu Hao froze for a moment. He didn't expect Xiao An Lingrong to say this.

Lu Hao forced a smile and said, "It's okay, let's just be good friends like before."

Although he felt a little disappointed, he didn't want to put pressure on Xiao Lingrong because of his feelings.

Xiao Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief. She also cherished her friendship with Lu Hao and didn't want this incident to affect their relationship.

From that day on, Lu Hao and Xiao Lingrong resumed their former close relationship.

During a festival boat trip, Lu Hao was injured in order to protect Xiao Lingrong. Xiao Lingrong followed her mother to the Lu Mansion to see Lu Hao. Seeing Lu Hao lying on the bed, she said sadly, "Thank you, Brother Lu," with a heart full of guilt and self-blame.

When Lu Hao woke up, he saw the exhausted Xiao Lingrong and felt distressed. He held her hand and said gently, "Don't be sad, it's not your fault. I am willing to give everything for you, even my life."

Xiao Lingrong burst into tears. She finally realized that her feelings towards Lu Hao had also changed. She lowered her head gently and said, "Brother Lu, thank you, but I..."

Lu Hao quickly interrupted An Lingrong. He didn't want to hear her say no. He just wanted to keep the fantasy in his mind, even if it was only for a moment.

"Lingrong, don't say it, okay?" Lu Hao's voice was pleading. He held Lingrong's hand tightly, hoping to get some warmth and comfort from her.

Ling Rong looked at Lu Hao, her eyes full of tears, but she did not answer. She did not know how to face this sudden emotion, she just felt her heart was in turmoil.

Seeing that Lingrong did not respond, Lu Hao continued, "Lingrong, I know this may be sudden for you, but I have really liked you for a long time.

I don’t know if we have a future, but I hope to always be by your side, giving you support and encouragement.

Lu Hao thought to himself: "Lingrong, whether you accept my feelings or not, let me stand behind you silently and protect you!"

He was fully aware of his deep affection for Lingrong, but he also understood her inner conflicts and struggles.

However, he is willing to use his firm belief and sincere emotions to support her with a warm sky. Even if he cannot get a response, he will become the guardian of her life and give her strength and support.

Because loving someone does not necessarily mean owning her, but wanting her to be happy. This is the persistence and perseverance in his heart.

Lingrong was moved when she heard what Lu Hao said. She recalled every little detail of her time with Lu Hao, the difficulties and setbacks they had experienced together, and his care and concern for her. These memories made her feel extremely warm.

An Lingrong still couldn't be sure what her feelings for Lu Hao were. She knew she couldn't make a decision easily because she still had to consider many factors.

So, Ling Rong sighed softly and said, "Brother Lu, can you give me some time? I need to think carefully about our relationship."

Lu Hao nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ling Rong's point of view. He knew Ling Rong's inner concerns and uneasiness, and he also knew that he needed to give her enough time to accept this relationship.

He was willing to wait patiently. As long as Lingrong could give him a chance, he firmly believed that one day they would be able to walk through life hand in hand.

Ling Rong stared at Lu Hao, with a gentle tenderness in her eyes.

She gently stretched out her hand, caressed Lu Hao's face, and said softly: "Brother Lu, no matter what the future holds, I will cherish our friendship."

Lu Hao smiled slightly. Although Ling Rong had not yet made a clear statement, her words gave him a glimmer of hope. This was enough to make him grateful.

"Thank you, Lingrong." Lu Hao expressed his gratitude sincerely. He knew that this emotional road was long and tortuous, but as long as Lingrong was willing to walk side by side with him, he would not give up easily.
