Chapter 68 Blocking the Knife
"What's so good about being handsome? Being handsome can't make a living. These young girls are just entering society and only care about looks. If they are so poor, they will suffer a lot if they follow that guy in the future."
The person who was talking was standing in the shadow under the eaves, muttering with contempt on his face.
The person being talked about was walking forward, the clear breeze blowing on his face, and dappled sunlight flowing over his body.
Chi Jinjin grabbed the hem of his clothes and looked at his figure. She felt as if time was turning back. They were back to five years ago when he gave her a ride for the first time.
Different scenery, familiar feeling.
The boy's blue shirt filled with wind filled her heart again and again.
There was a traffic light ahead, and Nan Xuqiu slowly stopped.
"Chi Jinjin."
Wang Qing's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Chi Jinjin looked to the left, and it was indeed her.
She lowered the window, sat in the car, looked at them, and said, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Chi Jinjin nodded.
Seeing this, Nan Xuqiu lowered his head and smiled.
She looked at Nan Xuqiu, then at Chi Jinjin, and sarcastically said, "Chi Jinjin, work harder and try to buy a car. Riding a bicycle is indeed quite comfortable when the weather is fine, but it's over when it rains. If you can't afford a Mercedes, a used, no-name brand will do."
"Oh, let's stop talking. The sun is too strong." Wang Qing rolled up the car window with a sarcastic and contemptuous smile on his face.
Just at this moment, the red light disappeared and the car whizzed past them.
Wang Qing looked at Chi Jinjin in the rearview mirror and said mockingly, "After graduating from Fuhua University, this is all she is..."
"Who is that person?" Nan Xuqiu asked while riding his bike.
Chi Jinjin replied, "My teaching teacher."
"Is she good to you?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin thought that if she said something bad, it would upset Nan Xuqiu. It was enough that she was in a bad mood, so she should not affect Nan Xuqiu.
She replied, “It’s okay.”
"Yeah." Nan Xuqiu replied meaningfully.
At this time, Chi Jinjin saw someone selling oden on the roadside and suddenly asked, "Do you want to eat oden?"
Nan Xuqiu stopped the car and asked, "What is oden?"
"Have you never eaten oden?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu shook his head.
Chi Jinjin smiled and said, "Then I'll take you to eat oden?"
"Okay." Nan Xuqiu parked the car nearby.
Followed Chi Jinjin to the stall.
Chi Jinjin ordered a full bowl for Nan Xuqiu and a full bowl for herself.
The two of them leaned on the railing nearby and began to eat with relish.
The setting sun in the sky fell on them.
The ring on Nan Xuqiu's finger sparkled in the sunset.
In fact, Chi Jinjin was quite curious about the origin of this ring. Why did Nan Xuqiu wear it for so many years, and why he was so worried when it disappeared.
But she didn't have the nerve to ask.
"Jinjin, what is that in your hand?" Nan Xuqiu stared at the skewer in her hand that she had already taken a bite of.
Chi Jinjin Hui, "Bean Skin."
"Let me have a taste." Nan Xuqiu leaned over and ate the small bite left in her hand.
He nodded and said, "This is delicious."
"Um..., if you like, can I get you a string?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and replied, "Okay."
Chi Jinjin turned around to give it to him, but her heart was in turmoil because of his actions just now.
I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, but it’s not disgust, it’s love.
The next day at work, Wang Qing actually took her with him to work on a case for the first time.
But when she came back, Chi Jinjin discovered that things were not simple. Wang Qing had given her a large pile of information to move.
He returned to the institute easily.
Chi Jinjin was walking back with a pile of documents in her arms, but she accidentally dropped some of them while going up the stairs.
Just as she was about to squat down to pick it up, someone picked it up for her.
Chi Jinjin looked over and found that it was another female teacher in the department.
This teacher is usually very cool and low-key, and doesn't often speak in the department.
"Hello, teacher." Chi Jinjin greeted her.
She introduced herself, "My last name is Xu, Xu An."
"Hello, Teacher Xu." Chi Jinjin changed her tone.
Xu An smiled and said, "Did Wang Qing ask you to move all these?"
Chi Jinjin nodded.
Xu An reminded, "Wang Qing, don't get too close to her. She won't like you Fuhua people."
"Teacher, can I... ask why this is happening?" Chi Jinjin was curious.
Xu An said, "Wang Qing is jealous and vain. When she was very young, she was determined to get into Fuhua. Unfortunately, she failed. Her family paid a lot of money, but the principal of Fuhua refused to let her in and didn't even look at her. So from then on, she no longer liked Fuhua or the people there."
Chi Jinjin was very confused. Teacher Xu An seemed to know Wang Qing very well. Why did she know him so well? And their relationship didn't seem to be very good.
Although Chi Jinjin had many questions in her mind, she did not ask any.
After returning to the department, Chi Jinjin saw Wang Qing writing Xiao Zheng's case.
She seemed determined to do as her mother asked.
Xiao Zheng's words that day had no effect on her.
After get off work, Chi Jinjin and Teacher Ke Li walked out of the gate together again and waited for the car outside.
Soon Wang Qing's boyfriend's car arrived.
After her boyfriend stopped the car, he got out with a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
He walked up to Wang Qing and handed it to her.
"Come on, why bring flowers?" Wang Qing took it and smiled shyly.
Everyone around was envious.
But at this moment, a man holding a fruit knife appeared from nowhere and started slashing at them.
Suddenly screams broke out.
Seeing this, Wang Qing's boyfriend ran into the station, closed the door, and locked Wang Qing and Chi Jinjin and others outside.
Seeing the man stabbing towards him, Wang Qing pulled Chi Jinjin, who was beside him, in front of him, wanting to use her to block the knife.
At this critical moment, Nan Xuqiu suddenly appeared and grabbed the knife with one hand.
The man wanted to pull out the knife, but Nan Xuqiu held it tightly. The sharp blade cut his hand and blood dripped onto the ground.
He snatched the knife away and pinned the man to the ground.
The security guard nearby came over with a steel fork to help.
A police car also arrived.
Nan Xuqiu let go of the man.
As soon as I stood up straight, someone suddenly took my hand.
Nan Xuqiu turned his head and saw that it was Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin looked at his bleeding hand, her heart full of worry, her brows furrowed, her face full of anxiety.
Nan Xuqiu said with a casual smile, "It's okay, just a superficial injury, don't worry. But you, are you not scared?"
Chi Jinjin shook her head.
Nan Xuqiu smiled with relief and touched her head with his uninjured hand to comfort her.
Wang Qing, who was standing in the distance, looked at the smiling Nan Xuqiu and was momentarily lost in thought...
After the police left, Chi Jinjin quickly took him to a nearby clinic for treatment.
But Nan Xuqiu soon received another message from the police station, asking him to record a statement.
Chi Jinjin took the initiative to accompany him.
It was already evening when we finished recording the confession.
"Are you hungry?" Chi Jinjin asked Nan Xuqiu beside her.
Nan Xuqiu nodded.
"Then let me take you out for dinner?" Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu said, "But I don't want to eat outside anymore. I want to eat the snow pear porridge you made."
"Then come home with me and I'll make you some pear porridge." Chi Jinjin thought about the lack of pears at home and said, "But I don't have any pears at home. If you want to eat some, I have to go to the supermarket to buy some."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin nodded.
The two went to the supermarket together, and Chi Jinjin also bought some other things.
"Nan Xuqiu, do you... have any snacks you want to eat?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu looked at it and pointed at a bag of potato chips and said, "I want to eat this."
Chi Jinjin put it directly into the shopping cart.
"Do you want to eat anything else?" Chi Jinjin continued to ask.
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being kept? It feels good, no wonder so many people like to eat gigolos. If I can't make it in the future, Lawyer Chi, please help me out."
"Do I still need to help you? You are still my creditor of 400,000 yuan. I don't know how many years I will have to work to pay off this debt." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu said lazily, "It's okay, I'll pay it back slowly, a lifetime is so long."
“How long can it be…” Chi Jinjin said casually while picking pears.
"About a hundred years." Nan Xuqiu said.
"A hundred years?" Chi Jinjin looked at him. He stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Chi Jinjin's nose, saying, "We Jinjin will definitely be able to live a hundred years."
"It seems a bit tragic to pay off debts for a hundred years."
Nan Xuqiu chuckled and said, "Then you don't have to return it."
"That won't do." Chi Jinjin said very principledly, "Even if it takes a hundred years, even if it's miserable, you still have to pay it back, so... you have to live a hundred years too."
"Okay, I'll stay with you until you're a hundred years old."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After buying the things, the two returned to Chi Jinjin's room.
Chi Jinjin went to the kitchen to make porridge for him.
After a while, a bowl of hot porridge was brought over.
The two of them ate together at the table.
Chi Jinjin suddenly found that his hand was bleeding again and the gauze was soaked through.
She quickly walked to his side, took his hand, and asked distressedly, "Why are you bleeding again?"
"There's a wound, so it's bound to bleed. It's nothing serious, and I'm not in any pain." Nan Xuqiu said, "You, sit down and continue to eat your meal."
"How can it not hurt?" Chi Jinjin felt uncomfortable. Normally, a small cut from a kitchen knife would hurt her very much. But she didn't believe that he said it didn't hurt when he had such a big cut on his hand. They were all flesh and blood, not a solid wall.
"Come here, I have to take care of you." Chi Jinjin pulled him to sit on the sofa, took the medicine and disinfectant bought from the pharmacy, removed the blood-stained gauze layer by layer, and wiped the blood off his hands bit by bit with a cotton swab dipped in iodine.
In order to relieve his pain, Chi Jinjin gently blew on her wound.
Looking at the deep and big wound on his palm, Chi Jinjin couldn't help but tear up.
"What's wrong?" Nan Xuqiu saw tears welling up in her eyes and asked, "Why are you still crying?"
Chi Jinjin shook her head, sniffed her sore nose, and re-bandaged him with clean gauze.
"Hiss~"
Nan Xuqiu suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Chi Jinjin immediately asked nervously.
Nan Xuqiu said, "The wound hurts so much."
"Did I hurt her? Then, what should I do? Should I go to the hospital?" Chi Jinjin was at a loss and very anxious.
Nan Xuqiu leaned his head against the sofa and said, "That's not necessary. Just smile and I won't feel any pain."
Chi Jinjin then realized that he was playing tricks on her.
"A smile makes you ten years younger."
Nan Xuqiu pinched one side of her cheek and gently forced a smile on her face.
"By the way, who is the woman who chatted with you in the car that day? She seemed to be very familiar with you." Nan Xuqiu suddenly asked.
Chi Jinjin replied, "My instructor is called Wang Qing, I told you about that before."
"What's wrong?" Chi Jinjin asked puzzledly.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and said, "It's okay, just asking."
After dinner, it was almost eight or nine o'clock, and Nan Xuqiu's school also had a curfew.
He could only get up and leave.
Chi Jinjin wanted to send him downstairs, but Nan Xuqiu was worried, so he asked her to send him to the door.
He reminded me, "It's fine here. And you, remember to close the door and lock the windows."
"Well, now that you've arrived, please send me a message..." said Chi Jinjin.
Nan Xuqiu was stunned. This was the first time that Chi Jinjin took the initiative to go back and report that he was safe.
Why the sudden change?
Is it because of the knife I got today?
Nan Xuqiu thought that the knife he took today was really worth it.
"I understand." Nan Xuqiu leaned over, closed his eyes, and placed his lips on the corner of her mouth.
Chi Jinjin was stunned.
After a while, Nan Xuqiu slowly left, opened his eyes full of affection, and told her, "I'm leaving. Go to bed early. Good night."
"Good night." Chi Jinjin replied.
Nan Xuqiu turned around and walked downstairs.
Chi Jinjin stared blankly at his receding back, and began to feel reluctant to let him go.
She went to the balcony and watched his car drive away.
While driving, Nan Xuqiu was thinking about the word "Wang Qing" in his mind.
I thought of the scene where she dragged Chi Jinjin to block the knife.
If I hadn't come at the right time today, what would happen to Chi Jinjin now?
Nan Xuqiu couldn't imagine it.
Wang...Qing...
Nan Xuqiu leaned back with a solemn look in his eyes. The driver in front glanced at him and thought that he had not provided good service, and cold sweat broke out on his temples.
Later, Chi Jinjin learned that the person who attacked them that day was a mentally ill patient.
But Chi Jinjin felt that he was quite pitiful. She heard that the man used to be a good person, but was cheated by an unscrupulous lawyer and lost everything overnight. He was also imprisoned for several years. After he was released, he went crazy and would chop down any lawyer he saw from then on.
He was originally locked up in a mental hospital, but due to the negligence of the staff that day, he was allowed to sneak out.
He stole the fruit knife from a fruit stall.
"Xiao Chi, where does your boyfriend work?"
Wang Qing suddenly asked.
Chi Jinjin didn't have time to react, but a little later she realized she was talking to her, so she replied, "He doesn't have a job yet."
"Then I'll be a homeless person."
"Well, I guess so..."
Since I don't have a job, I should be considered a vagrant.
Chi Jinjin thought about it.
