Chapter 93 Deadlock

Xu Wangshu sneered and said, "Your life is getting better and better now. You're making friends, falling in love, and getting married. It's a pity that my Xiaonan can only lie on this cold and dark ground forever. She will never feel this happiness and joy."

Nan Xuqiu lowered his head.

Xu Wangshu looked at him with disgust in her eyes. She said sarcastically, "Nan Xuqiu, how can you have the nerve to let yourself live so comfortably? Don't you feel scared every time you wake up in the middle of the night? Don't you feel guilty?"

"Then what do you hope for me, mother?" Nan Xuqiu said with a wry smile. "If it was me who was buried at the bottom of the lake, would you be so sad and unable to let go?"

"Don't call me mom!" Xu Wangshu pointed at him and shouted angrily, "You murderer, you have no right to call me mom!"

"Why?" Xu Wangshu's tears fell one by one. She said angrily and choked, "Why can you be happy now, while my Xiaonan can only lie here? It's all your fault! It's you who killed my Xiaonan. You were afraid of death and left her alone in the icy river like that. I will never forgive you in my life..."

"Nan Xuqiu, I tell you, you will never forget the life you are responsible for in your life!" Xu Wangshu said gritting his teeth.

Nan Xuqiu only said, "You can hate me, resent me, but I hope you don't hate Jinjin because of me, because she is really good, sometimes she is even like my sister..."

"You have no right to mention her. Leave here immediately and don't come here again." Xu Wangshu walked past him angrily.

Nan Xuqiu looked back at her as she walked away. A tear flowed from his red left eye, slid down his cheek, and fell to the ground.

If he had a choice, he would have hoped more than anyone else that he would be the one to die...

The day after Chi Jinjin returned home, Nan Xuqiu also came back.

She came out of the room and stood at the stairs.

Nan Xuqiu walked up slowly with a smile on his face.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?" Nan Xuqiu came to her and asked.

Chi Jinjin looked at him in front of her, thinking about what her grandmother said. He couldn't swim before, and it was probably because of this incident that made him afraid, but he learned to swim for herself. A person who would turn pale and tremble when watching others jump into the river, jumped into the river for herself.

The bird flew into the sea, and what it paid was far greater than she had imagined.

She reached out and hugged Nan Xuqiu, saying distressedly in his arms, "I miss you... I miss you so much..."

Chi Jinjin closed her eyes and tears instantly fell.

Nan Xuqiu noticed that she was crying, so he held her face in his hands and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you still crying?"

"I just watched a drama and I couldn't help it..." Chi Jinjin wiped it quickly.

Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "You cry even when watching a play, what a crybaby."

He scratched Chi Jinjin's nose and spoke lovingly.

Chi Jinjin decided not to tell Nan Xuqiu what she knew for the time being.

The two sat on the sofa.

Nan Xuqiu thought of Xu Wangshu and said to Chi Jinjin with shame, "Jinjin, the matter of meeting my parents may have to wait a while. Do you mind?"

Chi Jinjin asked, "Did you go to see your parents?"

"Well, they are... too busy. It will take a few days." Nan Xuqiu replied with a vague look.

"Nan Xuqiu." Chi Jinjin said, "Actually, we don't have to meet. It won't be too late to meet after we get married..."

"No, I must meet you. It's too late to meet you after marriage. I want to marry you legally." Nan Xuqiu said seriously.

For Nan Xuqiu, they may not accept him as a son, but he hopes they can accept Jinjin as a daughter-in-law.

"Nan Xuqiu..." Chi Jinjin's tears could no longer be suppressed and fell again.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about that drama?" Nan Xuqiu was puzzled and reached out to wipe away her tears.

Chi Jinjin looked at him and thought, Nan Xuqiu must have been in a lot of pain over the years.

The self-blame towards Nan Nan and the resentment towards her parents for countless days and nights must have been so painful that she had to take so many sleeping pills just to be able to fall asleep.

"Nan Xuqiu... From now on, I will accompany you well and spend every day with you." Chi Jinjin said.

"Why are you acting so weird today?" Nan Xuqiu was puzzled.

Chi Jinjin had already leaned over and kissed Nan Xuqiu.

Nan Xuqiu was stunned, and Chi Jinjin imitated him and kissed him gently, a kiss, a comfort.

Nan Xuqiu slowly closed his eyes, hugged Chi Jinjin with his arms, and deepened the kiss.

Chi Jinjin hugged his neck and responded cautiously and awkwardly.

The moment the tongues touched, it was like willow catkins meeting a spark, instantly burning throughout the body.

Chi Jinjin felt Nan Xuqiu's arms tighten and the kiss became deeper.

Then it suddenly took off into the air.

She just realized that Nan Xuqiu had picked her up.

He carried her to the bed and put her down.

He kept kissing her from beginning to end.

Nan Xuqiu's body pressed down.

Behind her was his bedding, in front of her was him, and Chi Jinjin was surrounded by his aura.

The hand on her shoulder was frighteningly hot.

Nan Xuqiu kissed her neck.

Chi Jinjin moved her hand, trying to push, but her fingertips accidentally touched the scar on his abdomen.

Although it is very short and cannot be seen without careful observation, it can still be felt by touch.

That's all because of her.

Chi Jinjin slowly put down her hand again.

Nan Xuqiu's hand, which was placed on her shoulder, moved down, brushed across her shoulder and arm from top to bottom, and finally stopped at her wrist.

He grabbed her wrist and raised it to her ear. Chi Jinjin clenched her fist nervously.

Nan Xuqiu opened her fist with his hand, and squeezed his slender fingers into her fingers, interlocking them with hers.

He lingered on Chi Jinjin's neck obsessively, leaving faint red marks on her fair skin.

Chi Jinjin stood still obediently.

But my heart was in turmoil, I was panicked and confused.

Nan Xuqiu kissed her chin and then moved up to kiss her lips.

But he suddenly froze. Under the light, Chi Jinjin closed her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip. She looked obviously scared, but she tried hard to stay calm and be brave.

Nan Xuqiu, who had lost control, his eyes full of desire gradually regained clarity.

Feeling that he had not moved for a long time, Chi Jinjin felt a little confused. She opened her eyes to see, and his kiss just landed on her brow.

He looked at her with eyes full of tenderness and a little complaint, and said, "Chi Jinjin, don't kiss me casually before we get married."

"Ah? Why?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.

Why?

Nan Xuqiu looked at the ignorant man in front of her. She was afraid that she would never know how easily she could destroy all his rationality and restraint.

Nan Xuqiu hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh, touch her head, and say, "I'm going to take a shower."

He moved away from her.

Chi Jinjin suddenly understood something, sat up and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes.

"Nan Xuqiu." Chi Jinjin blushed and stammered for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Actually, that's fine. I don't mind..."

Nan Xuqiu was startled, then slowly knelt down on one knee in front of her and said, "I've already made two mistakes at inappropriate times, and I don't want to make the same mistake three times."

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest. You have to go to work tomorrow." Nan Xuqiu pinched her face and said with a smile.

Chi Jinjin nodded.

Nan Xuqiu stood up and walked towards the bathroom, then suddenly turned around and said to her, "But when the time comes, don't even think about running away. I won't give you a chance."

He smiled and went into the bathroom.

Chi Jinjin was stunned for a moment before she reacted and quickly left his room. The bright red spread from her neck to her face.

Chi Jinjin wanted to pick up her cell phone, but then she remembered that her cell phone had fallen on the sofa in Nan Xuqiu's room.

She had no choice but to go back and get it.

When passing by his bathroom, I overheard Nan Xuqiu say, "Mother, please see Jinjin. I... beg you."

But the only answer he got was the sound of a phone being hung up.

Nan Xuqiu is such a noble person, I have never seen him beg anyone like this.

But for her, he was willing to bow his head to his mother and be so humble.

Chi Jinjin lowered her eyes...

The next day, when Chi Jinjin was preparing for a lawsuit two days later, a colleague came up and said, "Jinjin, there's a woman in white clothes downstairs looking for you. She's probably here to consult you or something. Go and take a look."

"Okay, thank you." Chi Jinjin put down the documents, left the office and went downstairs.

Chi Jinjin looked around and finally saw a woman in white clothes at the table by the window.

Chi Jinjin walked over.

Came in front of the woman.

The woman in front of me, although her face has some traces of time, is still very beautiful, with a unique temperament, seven parts elegance, two parts beauty, and one part unattainable. It is true that time can never defeat beauty.

"Hello, my name is Chi Jinjin. Are you looking for me?" Chi Jinjin asked.

The woman looked her up and down and said, "Sit down."

Chi Jinjin sat down opposite her.

Then he asked, "Well, I don't know your name, what is it?"

The woman said, "Nan Xuqiu asked me to come see you. Didn't he tell you who I am?"

Chi Jinjin then remembered that the person opposite was Nan Xuqiu's mother, Xu Wangshu!

No wonder she always felt that he looked familiar and thought it was her own illusion.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, Auntie. I'm so sorry." Chi Jinjin apologized.

"Are you getting married soon?" Xu Wangshu asked.

Chi Jin replied, "Yes, I'm sorry, Auntie hasn't been able to visit you yet."

"You don't have to feel sorry. His affairs have nothing to do with me." Xu Wangshu said coldly, and then asked, "Why are you willing to be with him? Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"What kind of person is he in my aunt's eyes?" Chi Jinjin asked back.

Xu Wangshu said directly, "Selfish."

"Why do you think so, Auntie?" Chi Jinjin asked again.

Xu Wangshu said, "Didn't he tell you that he had killed someone before? He had a life on his hands."

"Sister Nan Nan, she died of drowning. How can you blame it all on Nan Xuqiu? He was so young at that time." Chi Jinjin said.

"Why can't we blame him?" Xu Wangshu complained. "I told him to stay home and not go out, but he insisted on going out and took Nan Nan with him. He obviously can swim, but he didn't save Nan Nan and survived alone. What else can he do but be selfish?"

Did Nan Xuqiu know how to swim when he was a child?

Chi Jinjin felt that this matter was becoming more and more strange. It was not as simple as it seemed. There must be some unknown hidden secret.

Xu Wangshu looked at Chi Jinjin and said dejectedly, "My Nan Nan also wants to be a lawyer. If she were still alive, she would be as old as you. She would definitely be an excellent lawyer..."

She raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes, then stood up and left the law firm.

Chi Jinjin thought, although Aunt Xu said that she didn't care about Nan Xuqiu and her words were full of complaints, she also felt that she still had Nan Xuqiu in her heart. If she really didn't care about him at all, she wouldn't come to see her.

Nan Xuqiu must also have Aunt Xu and Uncle Nan in his heart, otherwise why would he put that yellowed family photo in his favorite book.

But Nan Nan's matter became a barrier between them, an unbreakable knot.

Chi Jinjin wants to untie it.

She always felt that the whole thing about Nan Nan was very strange.

So she went to Nanshi again under the pretext of a business trip to find her grandmother and asked about some details of what happened that year.

From her grandmother's story, she learned that an uncle was also present that year.

So Chi Jinjin secretly searched for that uncle everywhere, and finally found that uncle after two months of hard work.

Chi Jinjin rushed to the city where the uncle lived that same day.

The two met at the hotel.

Chi Jinjin asked about what happened that year.

The uncle said, "I didn't witness everything that happened. I was just walking by the river when I happened to see two children struggling in the water. So I jumped in and grabbed the boy who was nearby."

The uncle sighed and said, "At that time, the boy still refused to go with us. He kept trying to pull his sister forward, and told me not to save him, but his sister. I wanted to save both children at the time, but the river was too fast and I am not a good swimmer. After I brought him to shore, I looked back and the girl was gone. The boy wanted to jump overboard, but I had to hold him tightly."

Chi Jinjin remembered that Nan Xuqiu once told her in the hospital that he had a dream in which he fell into the water. He wanted to save himself but couldn't.

It turns out that it wasn't a dream.

She understood. Maybe it was not Nan Xuqiu who fell into the water, but Nan Nan. Nan Xuqiu could swim. He did not fall into the water, he went to save Nan Nan!

With her uncle's consent, Chi Jinjin recorded what he said.

Then I went back home.

Nan Xuqiu came out of the bathroom and saw Chi Jinjin holding his medicine in her hand.

"What are you doing with my old medicine?" Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.

Chi Jinjin asked, "Why did the amount of medicine decrease day by day?"

Nan Xuqiu was stunned.
