Chapter 50 Returning Home
Chi Jinjin felt itchy on her forehead, so she reached out to scratch it. She slowly opened her eyes and found that Nan Xuqiu was very close to her, and his face was just within reach!
And at this moment, his eyes looked very strange, as if he was suppressing something.
"Senior..." Chi Jinjin called softly, moving her body as far back as possible to create distance between them.
Nan Xuqiu noticed her avoidance, returned to his seat, and said with a smile, "We're here."
"Are we there?" Chi Jinjin then realized that she had arrived at the school gate.
"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. Thank you for sending me back, senior. I'll be leaving first." Chi Jinjin opened the car door and was about to get out.
Nan Xuqiu suddenly held her hand.
Chi Jinjin was shocked and looked at him in confusion.
Nan Xuqiu sighed, and said with some helplessness and some indulgence, "Seat belt."
seat belt?
Only then did Chi Jinjin realize that she had not unfastened her seat belt.
So he hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
"Be careful on your way back," Nan Xuqiu reminded.
Chi Jinjin nodded and said, "Senior, too."
"Then see you next time?" Nan Xuqiu asked tentatively.
However, Chi Jinjin did not take this seriously. She just nodded perfunctorily and turned to walk into the school.
It was not until Friday that Chi Jinjin realized that what Nan Xuqiu said that night was not just a joke.
He actually sent her a message asking her out to see a movie together.
Just the two of us?
Chi Jinjin sent a message to ask.
Nan Xuqiu: [Well, I originally invited Song Ci and the others, but they wanted to spend some time alone, so Old Ji went back to City A.]
Two people...
Chi Jinjin thought about the scene at that time. She felt embarrassed when Tang Shi and the others were there. Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if they were not there?
So Chi Jinjin thought about it and decided to politely decline Nan Xuqiu's invitation on the grounds that she had something important to do on Saturday.
Fortunately, Nan Xuqiu was an easy-going person. When he learned that she had important things to do, he declined the invitation.
Chi Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Chi Jinjin was reading in the library, but unexpectedly Gao Yi also came.
When he saw Chi Jinjin, he went straight to her.
Chi Jinjin could only smile at him politely.
Fortunately, Gao Yi didn't say anything, and Chi Jinjin pretended to be calm and continued reading. She was thinking that she would leave here in another twenty minutes so that it wouldn't seem like she was deliberately avoiding others.
But after a while, Chi Jinjin found Gao Yi, his face was pale and sweaty, and he looked very uncomfortable.
"Gao Yi, what's wrong with you?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Gao Yi said uncomfortably, "I don't know why, my stomach hurts."
"Stomachache? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary? You seem to be in severe pain." Chi Jinjin saw that the veins in his temples were bulging with pain.
Gao Yi nodded.
Chi Jinjin helped him to the infirmary. After the doctor examined him, he said it was serious and suggested that they go to the hospital.
Zhou Zhou went home, and Chi Jinjin had to accompany Gao Yi alone to the hospital for treatment.
Fortunately, Gao Yi felt much better the next afternoon and the doctor recommended that he be discharged from the hospital.
After completing the discharge procedures, Gao Yi said, "Jinjin, thank you for this time. I'll treat you to a meal. I'm hungry too."
Chi Jinjin nodded.
So the two of them went to the pedestrian street to have a meal, but unfortunately, not long after they came out of the restaurant, they ran into Nan Xuqiu head-on!
Chi Jinjin thought that this city was not small, how could she encounter such a thing?
Nan Xuqiu walked over slowly, glanced at Gao Yi, and then his eyes fell on Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin didn't know why, but she felt a little guilty. She smiled awkwardly and greeted Nan Xuqiu, "What a coincidence, Senior Nan."
Nan Xuqiu smiled, but for the first time, Chi Jinjin felt that his smile to her was no longer gentle, but rather cold.
"So, the important thing you are talking about is this." Nan Xuqiu stared at her and spoke.
Gao Yi suddenly took Chi Jinjin's hand and said to Nan Xuqiu, "Of course. I am an important person to her, so my affairs are naturally important."
Nan Xuqiu's gaze fell on the hands of the two men, and there seemed to be a sharp blade in his eyes.
Chi Jinjin pulled her hand out of Gao Yi's and opened her mouth to explain, but the words couldn't come out of her mouth because she didn't understand why she should explain?
It's not like I've done anything shameful, and I haven't done anything wrong.
Why do I feel so uneasy, as if I have done something wrong to Nan Xuqiu?
But she always felt that Nan Xuqiu seemed a little angry.
wrong.
Chi Jinjin wondered why Nan Xuqiu was angry. He never got angry easily. Besides, he was just an ordinary friend of his. Even if he didn't accompany him to the movies, he had already told him about it. It wasn't a broken promise, so there was no need for him to be angry.
I must have been overthinking it.
Just as she was thinking, Nan Xuqiu said lightly, "Okay, have fun, I wish you have fun."
Nan Xuqiu patted Chi Jinjin's shoulder, smiled slightly, and then walked past her. But the next moment, the smile on his face disappeared, leaving only the coldness in his eyes.
Watching him leave, Chi Jinjin thought, I was indeed overthinking it. Fortunately, I didn't explain anything just now, otherwise it would be embarrassing and make people think that I mistakenly thought I was very important to him.
At night, Nan Xuqiu was drinking alone in a private room, his mind full of the scene of Gao Yi holding Chi Jinjin's hand.
Looking at the message she sent to him, she said that she had important things to do, so she couldn't agree to watch a movie with him.
Nan Xuqiu could only turn off his phone and drink another glass of wine.
"Mr. Nan, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy?"
The bar owner slowly walked over and asked.
She sat down beside him and said, "Is there anything I can do for you? If so, I'd be happy to help."
Nan Xuqiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you have any girls here?"
"What I have the most here is girls," the proprietress said with a smile. "If you want a few of that type, I'll find them for you right away. I guarantee you'll have a great time."
"I want the most beautiful one among you," Nan Xuqiu said. "Preferably a young and charming girl, the kind that will captivate men the moment they see her. Is there one?"
"Of course, please wait." The proprietress left the private room and soon brought him a girl happily.
Just as he said, she had an outstanding figure and appearance, spoke in a very cultured manner, and was very good at dealing with men. She didn't look like a bar lady at all, but more like a rich girl.
"What's your name?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
The girl walked over to Nan Xuqiu and sat down, then replied, "My name is Yu Wan."
"How much can you earn by serving as a drinking companion in a day?" Nan Xuqiu continued to ask.
Yu Wan also replied honestly, "Probably one or two thousand at most, what's wrong, Mr. Nan?"
"Miss Yu, let's make a deal," Nan Xuqiu said. "If you can do this, I'll give you 500,000."
When Yu Wan heard this, she couldn't hide the surprise and joy in her eyes.
"So, Mr. Nan, what do you want me to do?" Yu Wan asked.
Nan Xuqiu turned on his phone, pointed at the person on the screen, and said, "How can you make this man obsessed with you within a month? Can you do it?"
Yu Wan took his phone, looked at it, sneered, and said, "Ten days, ten days I can make him obsessed with me."
"We'll see."
Nan Xuqiu picked up the wine glass on the table and shook it gently.
The next day, Nan Xuqiu came to the orphanage where he had done charity work last time, and Gao Yi happened to be there too.
"What a coincidence, Nan Xuqiu." Gao Yi called him by his name directly, with an attitude of a winner.
Nan Xuqiu politely replied, "What a coincidence."
"Are you here to see my Jinjin? It's a pity that she didn't come today. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Gao Yi said.
Nan Xuqiu sneered and said, "Your Jinjin? Are you two together?"
"Not yet, but we will be together sooner or later. It's just that right now we have to focus on our studies, so we won't talk about this for now. But after we graduate, we'll officially be together." Gao Yi vowed.
Nan Xuqiu said disdainfully, "Mr. Gao seems very confident in himself."
"Of course. After all, I've been with her for the past five years. We have five whole years of memories without any trace of you. They belong only to me and her."
"So what? How can you be sure that Chi Jinjin will choose you?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Gao Yi replied confidently, "She and I are in the same field. Secondly, she comes from a rural family, and her parents are poor farmers. To put it bluntly, no matter how outstanding a girl is, if her family is too poor, she can't reach the upper class. I am undoubtedly the best of all her options."
Nan Xuqiu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with coldness, and said, "Chi Jinjin doesn't deserve good people. She deserves the best. And I think you are not the best of all her choices, but the worst. There is no need for her to dig you out of the trash can."
"What do you mean!" Gao Yi immediately became angry and stepped forward to grab his collar.
But the next moment, Nan Xuqiu twisted his wrist with his backhand, causing him to scream in pain, "Let go!"
Nan Xuqiu loosened his grip, and Gao Yi fell forward to the ground, his mouth full of mud.
"A man who doesn't even respect the parents of the girl he likes, what else can he be but trash?"
Nan Xuqiu looked at the man on the ground with disdain and walked past him slowly.
His face was full of coldness.
Since that time, Nan Xuqiu never sent any invitation to Chi Jinjin again. When she went out to play with Tang Shi, she never saw Nan Xuqiu around Song Ci again.
Only then did Chi Jinjin vaguely feel that Nan Xuqiu seemed to be really angry with her.
But she was too lazy to explain. It had been so long since the incident happened, and not seeing him might not be a bad thing.
It's good to just drift apart slowly. She and he are not from the same world to begin with.
If it weren't for the two bonds of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, they would never have met again.
Their separation had already been a foregone conclusion five years ago. Nan Xuqiu was destined to be just a brilliant aurora in her life, a stunning memory...
The weather is getting colder and colder, and this year's winter seems to be coming earlier than in previous years.
The school has already started its winter vacation, but Gao Yi went back a few days ago because of some family matters.
Chi Jinjin was glad that he went back early, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing to go back with him.
Chi Jinjin was the last one to return to the dormitory. On the day of the holiday, she was the only one left in the dormitory.
Chi Jin packed up his things tonight and set out on his journey home the next day.
She didn't have much stuff, just a small suitcase and a small canvas bag.
But this year, there seem to be an unusually large number of people returning home. Even before the Spring Festival travel rush, the stations are already packed with people, with all kinds of bags and bags squeezed in.
Chi Jinjin could only follow the crowd, moving forward slowly and with difficulty, waiting to pass security check.
When it was finally her turn to go through security, the staff suddenly called her aside, pointed at her canvas bag and said, "Miss, can you open this bag and let us see it?"
"Sure." Chi Jinjin cooperated and opened the canvas bag to show them.
But when she opened it, Chi Jinjin was shocked to find that the bag was full of controlled knives and several bottles of gasoline!
"Miss, this is your bag, right?" the staff asked.
Chi Jinjin nodded, then quickly shook her head and said, "The bag seems to be mine, but, but I don't know why there are these things in the bag, I..."
"Miss, it seems you need to go to the police station with us." said the staff.
What?
Police station!
"But, but, my car is about to leave." Chi Jinjin explained in a panic, "Sister, I really don't know why these things are in my bag, but these things are really not mine."
"You'd better go to the police station and talk slowly," said the staff member.
At this time, two people in police uniforms came over, and Chi Jinjin was speechless.
She didn't want to go with them, but according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, Article 277, obstructing public service, whoever uses violence or threats to obstruct state agency staff from performing their duties according to law, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention, control or a fine.
Chi Jinjin didn't dare, so she could only follow the police out of the station and got into the police car amidst everyone's discussion.
After arriving at the police station, Chi Jinjin was arranged to sit in a place first. She was extremely nervous, her hands were shaking slightly unconsciously, and her palms were sweaty.
Soon a policeman came over to question her. She spoke incoherently and was completely confused.
She couldn't understand why her bag, which was clearly full of documents and cell phones, turned into knives and gasoline.
No wonder it becomes heavier when I lift it.
She regretted it very much and thought she should have opened it and taken a look earlier.
So, when did she feel she had gained weight?
After thinking about it for a while, Chi Jinjin suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to the police, "Uncle police, I remember now. When I was in a taxi, there was an aunt with a bag exactly like mine. Because there were so many people, the driver asked us to put the bag in the trunk. Later, the aunt got off the car first. It must be that time when the aunt took the wrong bag. This bag is not mine at all!"
"Where's your ID card?" the police asked.
Chi Jinjin said, "All my documents are in that bag, including my cell phone."
"Then you still need someone to bail you out, otherwise you won't be able to leave the police station," said the policeman.
