The Return and the Turmoil of Emotions

"Is Uncle coming back to take back the house?"

Lin Ruirui's eyes were filled with tears, but her words were laced with sarcasm towards the man.

The man's smiling face froze. A flash of hurt flickered in his eyes, and then he looked up with a smile again.

"Is Ruirui angry with me?"

"How could Ruirui be? Has Uncle ever seen a stray kitten or puppy getting angry with its owner?"

"I... you're not a kitten or a puppy."

"Uncle, there's no need to say more. I understand. How could an orphan girl who no one wanted to adopt expect others' care? And I won't... welcome Uncle back."

After saying that, Lin Ruirui carried the gift from Qi Yu and went upstairs.

The man wanted to call out to the girl behind her, but his mouth opened and closed several times, yet not a single word came out.

Although Lin Ruirui was carrying things upstairs, her trembling hands betrayed her agitated emotions.

He's back. He's back. He's finally back. Will he still keep me?

After all, I'm over eighteen. I'm not a child anymore. I don't need his support. He won't drive me away, will he? He's such a gentle person. Surely he wouldn't do that.

Lin Ruirui was lost in self-doubt. She didn't even dare to go downstairs and be alone with the man she had been longing for day and night. She was so afraid. Afraid that he would say something that would embarrass her.

She didn't cling to the luxurious life now, but she really wanted to be with him every day. Just stay in this house. Even if she didn't see him, just knowing that he was at home would make her feel comfortable.

Because of her fear, every time she faced the man, she put up her defenses. But she really wanted to hug him, yet was afraid of getting hurt.

An hour later, there was a knock on Lin Ruirui's door.

"Ruirui, it's Uncle. Are you asleep?"

"No!"

Hearing the reply, the man pushed the door open and entered the room. Looking at the girl's room, everything was unchanged. A myriad of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

The man was holding a cake in his hand. A noble gentleman as pure as jade, holding a cute cake. It looked a bit out of place, but it made Lin Ruirui's eyes flicker.

"Uncle..." Lin Ruirui said, and her eyes reddened again. She knew this was the man's attempt to make amends. He had 特意 come back to celebrate her birthday. This time, she couldn't bear to push him away again.

"Ruirui, there are still half an hour until your birthday. Uncle, happy birthday to you."

The man was still smiling so gently and courteously, as if everything could be calmly overlooked in front of him. The same was true for himself. Facing all things, he had the same faint smile, as if nothing was important.

"Uncle... I'm sorry!"

"It's okay. Ruirui has grown up. Uncle shouldn't have surprised you so suddenly. It's Uncle's fault. Uncle will change. Come on, blow out the candles. May our Ruirui live a long and healthy life."

Under the man's soothing, Lin Ruirui held back her tears and carefully blew out the candles.

"Our little girl has grown another year. That's wonderful."

The man held the cake and smeared a small piece of cream on Lin Ruirui's face.

"Uncle, will you leave again? Are you leaving again after this return?"

The little girl looked up at the man, with a gaze full of hope that he would stay.

"Sorry, Ruirui. I'll stay for a month this time and then leave."

The man said with guilt.

Anger filled Lin Ruirui's chest. She suddenly knocked the cake out of the man's hand.

"Why did you come back then? Are you going to abandon me again?"

"Am I so 讨厌 to you? You haven't come back to see me once in all these years. Now you come back in a hurry and are going to leave in a hurry again..."

This time, Lin Ruirui couldn't control herself anymore. Tears streamed down her face. Then she rushed out of the house, completely ignoring the man's shouts behind her.润色第1章的其他段落,让文章更具文学性.有没有一些英语文学作品可以帮助我提高写作水平?如何进一步提升英语翻译的准确性和流畅性?
