When An Ning met Lu Xiyan again after four years, she was wearing the cheapest clothes from a wholesale market, had just been slapped, and was squatting at his feet picking up hospital payment slip...
Chapter 180 The sea swallowed her
When the car returned to the cemetery again, An Ning's figure was no longer in the graveyard.
Lu Xiyan got out of the car and strode towards the graves of Li Chunfang and An Yu. He looked around but didn't see An Ning.
The white chrysanthemums in front of the stone tablet at my feet swayed their petals in the wind, and everything looked as if I had just left.
What about An Ning? Where did she go?
She said she would wait for him to come back and pick her up, so where is she?
Lu Xiyan's eyes narrowed slightly. She was able to leave the cemetery so quickly, it must be that she left right after he left.
So where was she going? Why didn't she tell him?
Lu Xiyan quickly dialed the number, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Dial again.
Still no one answered.
He returned to the car again and asked the crying child in the car whose voice he had just soothed.
"What did your mother say to you, kid?"
Xiao Anxian had already wiped away her tears. She sobbed a little, blinking her wet eyes, "My mother asked me to go home with you, saying that I can see my father every day in the future."
Lu Xiyan's face turned stern, and he felt a little heavy in his heart, "What else?"
"And..." The little guy thought for a moment, "Mom said that Daddy will sleep and eat with me every day and play with me. She also said that I should listen to Daddy in the future."
The last sentence made Lu Xiyan's heart tremble violently.
He knew An Ning too well.
This was not like her usual explanation.
He always felt that it meant something else.
"Did Mom tell you that she would be coming with us?"
When he asked this question, his voice was filled with nervousness and anxiety.
Seeing the little guy shaking his head, he subconsciously clenched the phone in his hand, squeezing so hard that his knuckles turned white.
Lu Xiyan didn't have time to think too much, his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He made another phone call and said in an extremely cold voice, "Find someone!"
He asked the driver to take An Xian back and called home.
The person who answered the phone was Zhao Li.
He asked An Ning if she had returned home, and Zhao Li said no.
Lu Xiyan hung up the phone and stood in the empty and lonely cemetery, feeling cold all over.
......
The sea water rushed against the shore violently, splashing water several meters high.
An Ning stood on the beach, the sea breeze blew up her black skirt and her bunted black hair into the air.
Waves of sea water rose above my ankles, and the air was filled with the salty smell of the sea.
The sunlight hit her, but she didn't feel any warmth at all.
After a life of wandering, she already felt a little exhausted.
She didn't know where to go or where to stop.
It seemed as if her fate never allowed her to stop and rest for a moment, and she was really tired.
The phone was held loosely in my hand, and the calls and message alerts kept coming.
She seemed not to hear any of the calls.
She looked at the distant sea with an indifferent expression, and felt the mobile phone in her hand vibrating repeatedly, which made her hand numb. Then she blinked lightly, as if she finally reacted.
She glanced down and saw that the caller ID had only one letter - A.
The one who comes first.
An Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly. It was his call.
Four years ago, she did the same thing as not answering Lu Xiyan's call, which made him angry.
She couldn't ignore his call, or he would get angry.
When he's angry, it's hard to appease him.
She picked up the phone stiffly, but her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
She didn't want to tremble, but she couldn't control her body.
Her hands were shaking so badly that she had to hold the phone with both hands and press the answer button.
"An Ning! An Ning, where are you!"
As soon as the phone was answered, Lu Xiyan's angry questioning came.
See, he's really hard to appease when he's angry.
An Ning's throat was dry and astringent, "...Xi Yan, don't be angry..."
Lu Xiyan's anxious voice reached his eardrums, "Where are you? Tell me where you are?"
"It's too dark, I can't see..." An Ning looked into the distance hesitantly, walking forward step by step, "Why is there no moonlight today?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Xiyan's back was stiff. He looked up at the glaring sunlight, sweat dripping down his brow and onto the tip of his nose.
The sound of wind whistling and waves crashing came from the receiver.
Lu Xiyan's heart tightened instantly!
The sea!
"Ningning! It doesn't matter if you can't see. Just stay there and don't move. Don't move..."
Lu Xiyan coaxed gently and quickly turned the steering wheel around.
"Ningning, be obedient and don't move!" Lu Xiyan held the steering wheel with one hand, avoiding traffic all the way and increasing the speed to the maximum.
Sweat flowed down his smooth side face. He tightly grasped the mobile phone in his hand, as if he was faintly grasping An Ning's hand.
His heartbeat was about to burst his chest, but his voice was still steady and gentle, "Ningning, even if it's dark and there's no moon, there will still be stars. Even if there are no stars, there are still lights."
"It's okay, I can see it."
"Your world won't be dark either. With me here, it will never be dark."
An Ning's repeated murmurs could be heard on the phone, "...Xiyan, it's dark, so dark that there's no road anymore."
Hearing the sound of footsteps pushing the seawater, Lu Xiyan gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator. "An Ning! If you go any further, there will really be no way out!"
An Ning held the cell phone in her hand, walked forward like a lost soul, and stepped into the cold sea step by step.
The water was up to her knees and very cold.
But it couldn't cool the temperature in her heart.
The sea water gradually covered her waist. The huge buoyancy made her legs unstable. She stumbled and the mobile phone in her hand fell into the water.
Lu Xiyan's voice bubbled out of the receiver, but An Ning didn't hear it.
The phone was swallowed by the sea water and turned black.
Just like her world, it was pitch black.
"Lu Xiyan..."
She murmured, "See you in the next life, it really depends on luck..."
She gently pulled her lips together, letting the cold water swallow her up.
