Chapter 59 Lianli
Chi Jinjin suddenly stopped, and Nan Xuqiu also stopped immediately.
She turned to face him and said, "Could you please walk faster instead of so slowly?"
Nan Xuqiu put his hands behind his back and said with a leisurely smile, "Lawyer Chi, walking slowly shouldn't be illegal, right?"
"What, what Lawyer Chi? I am not, don't call me that." Chi Jinjin said hurriedly when she heard it.
"Okay, then you can call me that later. For now, just call me Jinjin, okay?" Nan Xuqiu tilted his head and smiled, looking truly kind and harmless.
Chi Jinjin said, "You, you walk in front of me. I'm not used to having people following behind me."
"You don't have to treat me as a human being." Nan Xuqiuyan.
Chi Jinjin muttered, "If I don't treat you as a human being, then what should I treat you as?"
"Kittens, puppies, anything is fine." Nan Xuqiu said indifferently.
Why is this person scolding himself?
Chi Jinjin was speechless for a moment and felt that she had brought shame to her profession.
She really didn't expect that Nan Xuqiu would become such a rogue now, or was he like this before?
Chi Jinjin couldn't argue with him, so she turned around and continued walking forward.
Nan Xuqiu followed slowly behind.
Once upon a time, she would always watch his back, follow his footsteps, and step on the land he had walked on.
Now, it's him.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, Chi Jinjin really couldn't walk anymore. She wanted to catch up with Tang Shi and the others so that she wouldn't be so embarrassed, but she couldn't even see Tang Shi and the others.
She bent over tiredly, supported herself on her knees and panted. Looking up, the road ahead seemed endless.
At this time, a stick was handed over.
Chi Jinjin turned her head and saw Nan Xuqiu holding it.
"Thank you, I don't need it." Chi Jinjin politely declined Nan Xuqiu.
It's not a good thing for a young man to use a stick.
She wouldn't use this thing...
Tang Shi waited at the top of the mountain for a long time, and finally saw Chi Jinjin holding a stick and walking slowly towards him like an old woman.
"Chi Jinjin, you are so slow."
Tang Shi couldn't help but complain.
Chi Jinjin panted and said, "How can I compare with you? I'm lucky enough to be able to climb up."
"That's right." Tang Shi suddenly felt that Chi Jinjin seemed to have become very powerful.
Song Ci stepped forward and couldn't help but mock him, "Lao Nan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so far behind?"
"I'm old and can't compare to you young people." Nan Xuqiu said.
Song Ci looked disgusted and said, "Don't give me that. You are only one or two years older than us."
"One hour older is still older, you know, brother?" Nan Xuqiu reached out and touched Song Ci's head.
"Damn it! You...damn it!" Song Ci immediately got furious and punched Nan Xuqiu.
Nan Xuqiu didn't move at all.
There is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and it is very popular. I heard that making wishes here is very effective, so several people went in to make a wish.
As soon as Tang Shi entered, he knelt down, kowtowed and made a wish.
Chi Jinjin glanced at the deity she was praying to and asked, "Tang Shi, what are you praying for?"
"Pray for wealth. I asked her to bless me so that I can become a rich woman in the future." Tang Shi said.
Chi Jinjin kindly reminded, "But, you are worshipping the Goddess of Childbirth."
Tang Shi looked up and saw that in front of the statue there were really a few big words written on it: Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.
"I made a wrong wish, a wrong wish." Tang Shi apologized to the statue repeatedly, then quickly got up and looked for the God of Wealth.
There are two huge ancient twining trees next to the Taoist temple, which are hung with many red ribbons. The Taoist priest in the Taoist temple said that if lovers tie the red ribbons together on the trees, they will live together forever. Those who are single can also tie the ribbons to pray for marriage.
Tang Shi bought two, one for her and Song Ci, and the other was given to Chi Jinjin.
"Give it to me, why are you giving it to me?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Tang Shi said, "Pray for a marriage for you, please, Chi Jinjin, you are already an adult, hurry up and ask Yue Lao to give you a boyfriend. You have been lonely for thousands of years, and if you are not anxious, I am anxious too."
"Okay." Chi Jinjin took it.
Together they wrote their names on the ribbon with a brush on the table next to them.
Unexpectedly, Nan Xuqiu also brought one.
"Lao Nan, you are also looking for a marriage?" Ji Yang was surprised.
Nan Xu Qiuyan said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm not like you. There are so many marriage lines around me. I can only find one myself."
Ji Yang's face was full of disbelief.
After several people finished writing, the words on it formed a sharp contrast. Nan Xuqiu's calligraphy was still as outstanding as before, flowing like water and moving like clouds. The young Taoist priest standing by couldn't help but praise him when he saw it.
Chi Jinjin and the others were like a few worms crawling on it in a winding manner.
It was already tragic, and when put together with Nan Xuqiu's, it was even more tragic.
Song Ci is tied to Tang poetry.
Chi Jinjin also walked under the tree with a ribbon and slowly looked up. She searched for a long time and finally found a branch that was not tied and that she could reach.
But when tying the ribbon, Chi Jinjin still tiptoed slightly. She carefully tied the ribbon with her name on it to the branch.
But unexpectedly, Nan Xuqiu was also tied to this branch.
"You, why are you tied like this?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "There's no rule in the temple that only one ribbon can be tied to a branch, right?"
It seems so.
Chi Jinjin was speechless by his counter-question. She could only smile stiffly and said, "Then, take your time to tie it."
She turned and left the tree.
Nan Xuqiu tied the ribbon and looked at Chi Jinjin's ribbon for a moment before letting go.
The branches that were pressed down returned to their original height, carrying two red ribbons.
After resting, they walked down the mountain.
It is said that it is easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain, but Chi Jinjin feels that going down the mountain is not easy either.
Her legs were so weak that it felt like she had no bones, and she walked completely mechanically.
Chi Jinjin just wanted to finish the walk quickly and wished she could jump down the mountain directly from here. Her feet no longer felt like her own feet and were completely exhausted.
Suddenly, she stepped on a stone, slipped, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Jinjin!" Tang Shi heard the voice and hurriedly turned around and ran back, asking, "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Chi Jinjin replied quickly.
But when she got up from the ground, she felt a sharp pain in her knee, and the pain made her sit down on the ground again.
When she looked, she saw that her pants were torn at the knees, and a large piece of skin was scraped off her knee, with blood flowing out.
"Oh my God!" Tang Shi was frightened and said nervously, "What should I do?"
Song Ci looked around and said, "There's no doctor or anything like that on this mountain. It seems we have to go down the mountain."
"It's okay." Chi Jinjin was afraid that Tang Shi would worry, so she subconsciously covered her wound with her hand, endured the pain and pretended that it didn't hurt much and said, "It's a minor injury, I can just walk on."
As she was speaking, she was suddenly picked up by Nan Xuqiu.
"You, what are you doing?" Chi Jinjin looked at him in surprise.
Nan Xuqiu said, "How can you walk with your leg injured like this? I'll carry you down."
"No, thanks." Chi Jinjin quickly refused.
Nan Xuqiu didn't listen and took two steps forward. Chi Jinjin quickly hugged his neck and said, "No, no, I'm scared."
The slope was already quite steep, and even walking alone would make her feel unstable. Holding her in her arms, the strong feeling of being off the ground made her feel particularly uneasy.
"Then I'll carry you?"
"No, I can really walk on my own."
Chi Jin Jin Dao.
But Nan Xuqiu didn't seem to want to negotiate. He said, "Either I carry you down or I hold you in my arms. Choose one. If you don't choose, I'll choose for you."
As he said this, he took a few steps forward.
Chi Jinjin was so scared that she quickly said, "Carry, carry, carry, I choose to carry!"
"Yeah." Nan Xuqiu carefully placed her on the ground.
Then he squatted down in front of her.
Chi Jinjin stretched out her hand and hesitated for a moment before slowly putting her hand on his shoulder and lying on his back.
Nan Xuqiu picked her up from the ground and walked downstairs.
Ji Yang behind him touched his chin and looked at Nan Xuqiu, as if he understood something.
"I didn't expect that..." Ji Yang said to himself.
Song Ci was puzzled, "What didn't you expect?"
Ji Yangyan, "I'll tell you when I get home."
He patted Song Ci's shoulder and continued walking down the mountain.
Chi Jinjin lay on Nan Xuqiu's back, obediently not daring to move, for fear that she would cause Nan Xuqiu to fall.
But she had to admit that Nan Xuqiu's back was even stronger than she had imagined.
And when he carried her on his back, every step he took was steady, without any shaking, as if he was walking on flat ground.
But Chi Jinjin couldn't help but said worriedly, "If you're tired, let me get down and walk."
Nan Xuqiu laughed and said, "At school, I carry 30 kilograms for my morning run every day. Your weight is nothing to me."
"Jinjin, give me your hands." Nan Xuqiu said again.
Chi Jinjin stretched out her hands, and Nan Xuqiu directly held her hands, and her legs were placed on his arms.
From a distance, those who didn’t know would think that Nan Xuqiu was carrying a backpack.
His thumb gently stroked Chi Jinjin's wrist, his face filled with joy that was beyond words.
A breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and cherry blossoms fell. Chi Jinjin looked up and saw cherry blossoms flying all over the sky.
The red ribbons on the branches of the intertwined ancient trees fluttered in the wind. The ribbons with "Chi Jinjin" and "Nan Xuqiu" written on them flew in the wind, intertwined, and finally entangled together...
After reaching the foot of the mountain, Nan Xuqiu first put her on a bench nearby.
Before Chi Jinjin had sat there for two or three seconds, Nan Xuqiu picked her up again, motioned for Song Ci to open the car door, and then carried her into the car.
Then he carried her straight into the hospital and asked a doctor to treat her wounds.
Chi Jinjin originally thought that this was the end, but unexpectedly, when they returned to school, he picked her up again.
People kept looking back along the way, and some even took pictures with their mobile phones.
Chi Jinjin's face flushed red as she buried herself in Nan Xuqiu's arms and whispered, "Hey, you, put me down quickly. I can walk by myself."
"I'll let you down when we get to the dormitory building. This is my last concession. Otherwise, I would have sent you directly to your bed." Nan Xuqiu said without allowing any room for rebuttal.
Chi Jinjin was speechless.
"Where is your dormitory?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin had no choice but to point at him and buried her face in his arms, afraid that someone would see or take a picture of her face.
Nan Xuqiu lowered his eyes, looked at Chi Jinjin in his arms, and smiled slightly.
When they got to the dormitory building, Chi Jinjin said hurriedly, "I'm here, I'm here, please put me down quickly."
Nan Xuqiu did what he said and slowly put Chi Jinjin down.
"Is it okay for you to go back?" Nan Xuqiu looked at the wound on her leg and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, thank you for today... Goodbye." Chi Jinjin turned and left.
Nan Xuqiu watched her limping into the building, with a look of heartache between his brows.
As soon as Chi Jinjin returned to the dormitory, Zhou Zhou rushed over and asked, "Chi Jinjin, are you and Senior Nan together?"
"No? Where did you hear the gossip?" Chi Jinjin denied it immediately.
Zhou Zhou showed her his phone and said, "You're already on the confession wall. Don't you know? People on the Internet are saying that you are his girlfriend."
"Oh, how can these people tell stories by looking at pictures?" Chi Jinjin knew that there would be unrest, but she didn't expect it to be spread like this.
"You are not with him, so why does he hug you?" Zhou Zhou questioned.
Chi Jinjin had no choice but to explain everything to Zhou Zhou.
At night, she lay in bed and read the comments under the confession wall.
Most of them are:
[Am I the only one who thinks this woman is ordinary? ]
They don't look like a good match at all.
[Handsome guys have really bad taste. ]
[Ahhh, can you please let go of my little brother! ]
What's so bad about it? I don't think I'm that bad. Although I can't be considered stunningly beautiful, I'm not to the point where you can't bear to look at me.
Chi Jinjin looked at these comments and felt very depressed. It was clearly him who was holding her, but why did it seem like she was holding him hostage?
Aren't girls the ones who suffer when being hugged? Why do they all think that they are taking advantage of Nan Xuqiu?
"That's outrageous."
Chi Jinjin threw away her phone.
wrong!
She suddenly thought, why should she care about these comments? If she doesn't deserve it, then she doesn't deserve it. She really doesn't deserve it anyway.
Chi Jinjin felt very annoyed and her heart was in a mess.
At this moment, her phone rang. Chi Jinjin picked it up. It turned out to be a message from Nan Xuqiu. He said: "When your leg is healed, let's have a good chat, just the two of us."
When Chi Jinjin saw this news, she felt even more confused and upset.
"I don't want to..."
Chi Jinjin thought to herself that she didn’t reply to Nan Xuqiu’s message and just turned off her phone.
Not long after, it was Zhou Zhou's birthday. The other people in the dormitory pooled their money and bought Zhou Zhou a birthday present and a cake. Zhou Zhou booked a private room for them to go singing together.
Chi Jinjin thought that they were just from her dormitory, but after she got there, she realized that she had oversimplified her thinking.
There were also her roommates' boyfriends in the private room, and other people in the dormitory were trying to match Zhou Zhou with another boy in her class. Zhou Zhou did have a good impression of that boy, and the two of them had a very happy chat.
Chi Jinjin took a bottle of drink from the table and drank it while listening to them singing or watching them play various small table games.
The time for the private room was almost up, and the people in the dormitory left the room with their boyfriends one after another. Zhou Zhou and the boy had already left the room and met secretly alone.
However, they were having so much fun that none of them noticed Chi Jinjin, who was fast asleep in the corner.
"Miss?" The waiter came over and tried to wake her up.
Chi Jinjin woke up, glanced at the person, and turned her head back to sleep.
"I think I've seen this lady somewhere before." Another waiter thought for a moment and said, "She seems to be Mr. Nan's friend."
