Xu Jingzhi was unwilling to sever all ties with his younger sister from then on; he resented it deep down. Everything could have been fine, so why did it turn out like this?
When Nanzhi first came to the Xu family, apart from her grandfather, which of the other three gave her a kind look?
Even Yao Yao is always comparing herself to others. How could he not see through her little tricks? He was just spoiling his younger sister.
Looking back now, he was truly despicable. He personally brought Nanzhi to Yuecheng, yet he never once considered her feelings.
Now that they want to sever ties with the Xu family, what right does he have to stop them?
Nan Zhi glanced at Xu Jingzhi. This cousin had never helped her, nor had he ever hurt her. And now, she harbored no resentment towards him.
Speaking of which, Xu Jingzhi is also pitiful. He lost both his parents, which must have been a huge blow to him at such a young age.
Nanzhi said to him, "Cousin, I wasn't acting impulsively. You and I both know that the Xu family is very unfamiliar to me. This is not my home after all."
After saying this, Nanzhi and Xu Chaoci left the Xu family.
Xu Jingzhi sat there blankly, his heart trembling at the word "cousin". So, Nan Zhi was still willing to call him "cousin"? Did she not blame him?
But Xu Jingzhi couldn't laugh. He regretted it for the second time. Why did he give up such a good younger sister? Why couldn't he treat her the same way he treated Xu Yao before?
"Zhizhi, do you think this is a good idea?"
Xu Chaoci felt indignant upon hearing this, finding the Xu family's actions truly disgusting. Even though the culprit was dead, Old Master Xu had concealed it for so long, with everyone assuming it was his aunt's fault. How could one not be angry about the resentment that had festered for over twenty years? The victim had become the sinner; wasn't this a complete reversal of right and wrong?
Nan Zhi stopped, turned to look at Xu Chaoci, and smiled:
“Cousin, that’s good. After all, they raised Mother to adulthood, and that’s an unforgettable kindness. I won’t hold a grudge against them, but I also don’t want to have anything to do with them anymore.”
Looking at Nan Zhi's eyes and expression, Xu Chaoci understood her meaning. Originally, it was possible to take revenge on the Xu family, but now he thought it was better to give up.
Things in this world can never be clearly defined. Once love is involved, things naturally become complicated.
Having accomplished such a major task, Nan Zhi suddenly had a change of heart and began to miss Shen Xingmian.
Perhaps she shouldn't be too fixated on the people from the past, after all, she is Shen Xingmian's wife now.
But Mu Xiyue is long gone, isn't she? Otherwise, why would Shen Xingmian need to look for her?
Thinking about all this, Mu Xiyue, who had been troubling Nanzhi for so long, simply vanished.
After she got home, she called Shen Xingmian.
Nanzhi took the initiative, something that hasn't happened before in a long time.
Shen Xingmian answered quickly, "Zhizhi?"
The moment Nan Zhi heard Shen Xingmian's voice, she couldn't help but shed tears. Sometimes, even the strongest person can crumble at the slightest sound or word.
Shen Xingmian couldn't possibly have missed Nan Zhi's sobs.
He asked anxiously, "Zhizhi, what's wrong?"
Nan Zhi said in a muffled voice, "Shen Xingmian, I miss you."
After he said that, there was a long silence on the other end before he finally spoke:
"I see."
After saying that, Shen Xingmian hung up the phone.
Nanzhi: "..."
what happened?
Nanzhi stared at her phone for several seconds, then angrily threw it on the bedside table and pulled the blanket over herself.
You dared to hang up the phone? You're so annoying!
With her worries at ease, Nanzhi fell asleep quickly, drifting off to sleep in just a few minutes.
In the middle of the night, Nanzhi felt a sinking sensation beside her. She frowned, and in her half-awake state, she rolled over following the source of heat, unaware of anything else.
The next morning, Nanzhi slept well and woke up quite early. The moment she regained consciousness, she sensed something different from before.
Nanzhi suddenly opened her eyes; someone was holding her as she slept peacefully.
Nanzhi: “???”
"Miss, you didn't know, did you? Shen Xingmian came back last night."
Miaomiao quickly explained it to her, but Nanzhi was completely confused. "You came back last night? When?"
"Around 2 or 3 a.m., I think."
Meow Meow Machine continued, and Nan Zhi stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Wasn't it said that it would be a few more days before they came back? How could it be so early?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: after I called yesterday, Shen Xingmian said "I know" and then hung up.
So, he rushed back overnight for his own sake.
Nanzhi was immediately moved, and all her resentment and anger vanished.
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, Nanzhi felt extremely distressed. He must not have been resting properly during this time.
He was such a good person, yet I still became suspicious of him, threw tantrums, and deliberately distanced myself from him because of a deceased person. It's really too much.
"Tch, you've finally come to a correct understanding of yourself," Meow Meow Machine scoffed, practically rolling its eyes.
Nan Zhi: "..." She really does seem to have gone too far.
Because of what outsiders said, Nanzhi became suspicious of Shen Xingmian. She was immediately angry with herself. How could she be so brainless?
Nanzhi reached out and gently pressed her hand under the man's eyes. The dark circles there were very obvious, probably because he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
Shen Xingmian was too tired and slept very soundly. Nanzhi gently stroked his face, but he didn't wake up.
It was quite a while before he groggily opened his eyes, pulled Nanzhi's hand down, and hugged the girl tightly in his arms. Then, in a hoarse yet magnetic voice, he said:
"Sleep a little longer, okay?"
After saying that, he closed his eyes again. Nanzhi was completely enveloped in his arms, not moving at all. Finally, she simply closed her eyes as well.
When Nanzhi opened her eyes again, it was already past nine o'clock. She didn't know when she had fallen asleep without realizing it. She sat up.
Shen Xingmian had already gotten up, and Nanzhi went down to the ground to find him.
Finally, she saw him in the kitchen. Nan Zhi couldn't help but smile. Being with Shen Xingmian, she really could be pampered like a princess.
Nanzhi stared at him for a long while before speaking:
"Shen Xingmian."
While cooking porridge, Shen Xingmian turned to look at her and asked, "You're up?"
Nanzhi walked into the kitchen with a grin, peeked into the pot, and asked, "What are you cooking? It smells so good!"
Shen Xingmian casually pulled her into his arms, half-embracing her, and kissed her forehead.
"I also bought some steamed buns and congee with preserved egg and lean pork. I'll eat some first. What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll make it."
Nan Zhi couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart. She reached out and hugged the man's waist. "You're already very tired. Let's go out for lunch."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian smiled and nodded, "It's up to you to decide."
