Chapter 71 Staying Overnight
"You, stop it..." Chi Jinjin pushed him away helplessly, a slight blush on her face.
Chi Jinjin faked a cough and told Nan Xuqiu everything she knew in a serious tone, without missing a word.
"What about you? Have you finished your investigation?" Chi Jinjin asked after she finished speaking.
Nan Xuqiu replied, "It's almost done, but there are still some doubts. Let's leave here first..."
"Okay." Chi Jinjin nodded.
The two walked out of the school, and along the way Nan Xuqiu was constantly asked for his contact information by some little girls.
Nan Xuqiu simply filled in a string of numbers, but Chi Jinjin saw that it was not hers.
"Whose number did you fill in?" Chi Jinjin asked in a low voice.
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "My roommate's."
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Nan Xuqiu said, "He complains every day that there are no girls to chat with him, and now there is one."
"Um... he wants a girl, not a child..."
Chi Jinjin said, Nan Xuqiu is being too mean.
After leaving school, Nan Xuqiu asked her, "Do you have a notebook at home?"
"Yes." Chi Jinjin replied.
"Would it be convenient for me to borrow it? I accidentally broke my laptop yesterday and I haven't bought a new one yet." Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin of course agreed.
She took Nan Xuqiu back to her residence and bought some snacks for Xiao Zheng before going upstairs.
But when he got home, he found that Xiao Zheng was missing.
Chi Jinjin immediately became anxious and was about to go out to find her.
Nan Xuqiu said, "No need, she went home."
He handed the note he found on his dining table to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin took a look and felt relieved, but she couldn't help but worry, "Her family..."
"No matter how bad a home is, it is still a home. You can't support her for her whole life. After all, this is something she has to face herself." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin could only sigh.
Then she brought her notebook from the bedroom to Nan Xuqiu.
Nan Xuqiu opened his laptop and asked Chi Jinjin for a data cable.
Chi Jinjin only saw him connect his mobile phone and laptop together, and then operate on the laptop, typing a long string of code that she could not understand.
Then, the video started playing on the laptop.
"What is this?" Chi Jinjin asked curiously.
Nan Xuqiu replied, "Some surveillance footage from the school."
"How did you get the school's surveillance?" Chi Jinjin was surprised.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Just now, I snuck into the monitoring room while the guard was out for lunch and copied him out."
"That's too fast..." Chi Jinjin couldn't believe that he had copied so much content in such a short time.
Nan Xuqiu raised his hand and touched Chi Jinjin's head, saying with a smile, "You think I'm just here to eat at school? I have to learn some skills to survive, right?"
This skill is extremely powerful.
Chi Jinjin's eyes were full of admiration.
Nan Xuqiu played the surveillance video and adjusted it very slowly, even watching it frame by frame.
"I think this will take a long time. Jinjin, you can go and do your own thing." Nan Xuqiu said, looking at Chi Jinjin who was yawning beside him.
"Okay then..." Chi Jinjin was afraid of disturbing him, so she got up and went to do some of her work. By the way, she looked up some information about past cases similar to Xiao Zheng.
Nan Xuqiu stared at the notebook for the entire afternoon, occasionally going back to rewatch some clips.
Chi Jinjin was puzzled. The police had already said that the crime scene was a blind spot for surveillance. She didn't understand why Nan Xuqiu wanted to copy the surveillance footage and which surveillance camera did he copy?
But Chi Jinjin was afraid of disturbing him, so she didn't ask and just read and wrote quietly beside him.
Nan Xuqiu's eyes became sore from watching the surveillance video, so he had to close them temporarily to rest his eyes.
He lowered his head, frowned, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Looking out the window, it was already dark outside.
"Stop looking and take a rest." Chi Jinjin handed him a cup of coffee.
Nan Xuqiu took it.
Chi Jinjin sat down next to him and asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
"No, it will take some time." Nan Xuqiu replied.
Chi Jinjin said, "It's okay, there are still several days, don't worry, just take your time to look for it."
"Do you need a notebook recently? Can I use it at school for a few days?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin said, "Sure, the company gave me a laptop, you can use this."
"Um."
"Nan Xuqiu." Chi Jinjin couldn't help but ask curiously, "How could you be so sure today that Tao Xi would think we were police officers?"
Nan Xuqiu took a sip of coffee, leaned his shoulder against the sofa, and replied, "If we go to court, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to collect evidence. Besides, this is a case of attempted murder, so the police will definitely come every day to collect evidence."
So, over time, Tao Xi and the others would subconsciously regard anyone who came to ask about these situations as someone from the police.
Chi Jinjin understood.
I have to admire Nan Xuqiu, he really has good intentions and is very good at studying a person's psychology.
Nan Xuqiu put down the coffee in his hand, suddenly fell on Chi Jinjin, raised his head and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Chi Jinjin was suddenly at a loss.
"Um..." Chi Jinjin raised his hands, froze in the air, and asked, "You, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Xuqiu hugged her, tilted his head slightly, smelled the faint fragrance on her neck, and murmured, "I'm so tired, my eyes hurt..."
"Jinjin." Nan Xuqiu buried his head in her shoulder and asked lazily and tiredly, "Can I stay at your place tonight? I really don't want to move. I can just sleep on the sofa."
Chi Jinjin listened to his voice and felt that he seemed really tired. Thinking about how much time he had spent during the day and how much time he had spent watching the surveillance footage, anyone would be exhausted. The reason why he was so tired was all because of her.
If I ask him to take a long bus ride back now, it would be too inhumane and ungrateful.
"Okay, then you can stay here tonight. You don't have to sleep on the sofa, you can sleep on the bed." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu let her go, looked at her and smiled, saying, "You mean, I sleep with you?"
"No, no!" Chi Jinjin quickly explained, "What I mean is, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the sofa."
Nan Xuqiu looked Chi Jinjin up and down, seeing her still in her school uniform.
He thought that Chi Jinjin at that time must have loved him the most.
It’s a pity that he discovered it too late and missed Chi Jinjin at that time.
If he had discovered it earlier, would there have been a better outcome?
At least, he and Chi Jinjin will have five more years of companionship and love.
The regret of five years can never be made up for or replaced.
At that time, Chi Jinjin was the Chi Jinjin who loved herself the most, but also the Chi Jinjin who was in the most pain.
She didn't even get a single word of love from him.
"Chi Jinjin." Nan Xuqiu suddenly called her name.
"Hmm?" Chi Jinjin looked at him in confusion.
Nan Xuqiu said slowly, "I like you."
He said it seriously, with love surging in his eyes.
I like you.
It is said to the present Chi Jinjin, and also to the Chi Jinjin in the past.
Although it's a little late.
"Nan Xuqiu..." Chi Jinjin didn't know what to say, but his words hit her heart like a firework and then exploded.
Nan Xuqiu looked at her eyes and then his gaze fell on her lips.
He placed his hands on the sofa, slowly moved forward, and gradually leaned over.
Chi Jinjin was stunned, but also understood his intention from his passionate and straightforward eyes.
My fingers involuntarily clenched slowly and formed a small fist on my leg.
He was getting closer and closer, her heart was pounding, and for a moment she didn't know how to breathe.
Nan Xuqiu closed his eyes, his long eyelashes looked very beautiful. He opened his lips slightly and was about to kiss her.
But at this moment, Chi Jinjin's cell phone rang at an inopportune time, and the ringtone instantly broke the intoxicating atmosphere at the moment.
"I, I'm going to answer a phone call."
Chi Jinjin stood up and ran to the balcony to answer the phone.
The call was from Tang Shi.
Chi Jinjin chatted with Tang Shi outside for a while, and then returned to Nan Xuqiu.
Looking at him, Chi Jinjin felt a little embarrassed.
Nan Xuqiu looked up and asked, "Jinjin, do you have pajamas at home? I want to take a bath."
Chi Jinjin shook her head, "No, only mine."
"Then give me one of yours." Nan Xuqiu said.
"But mine is a women's style..."
Nan Xuqiu said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
"Or do you mind..."
Before Nan Xuqiu could finish his words, Chi Jinjin quickly said, "No, no."
How could she possibly mind Nan Xuqiu.
"Wait a moment, I'll get it for you." Chi Jinjin returned to the bedroom.
After a while she brought back her pajamas, a very girlish pink set.
Nan Xuqiu really didn't care and took it directly from her.
Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Chi Jinjin listened to the sound of flowing water coming from inside, her face gradually turned red, and she quickly ran into the bedroom.
A quilt was moved out of the bedroom.
After a while, Nan Xuqiu came out of the bathroom, and his pajamas seemed to have become smaller on him.
The cuffs only cover my arms, and the trousers are even more exaggerated, turning them into cropped pants. Fortunately, my pajamas are loose enough.
However, pink looks quite suitable on him.
There is a feeling of "the peach blossoms reflected in my face are particularly red".
Chi Jinjin suddenly thought that if Nan Xuqiu was a girl, she would also be a goddess.
Nan Xuqiu looked at her.
Chi Jinjin immediately retracted her gaze and pointed at the quilt on the sofa and said, "I've brought the quilt for you. Go to sleep if you're tired. I'm going to take a shower too."
Nan Xuqiu nodded.
Chi Jinjin hurried back to the dormitory to get a change of clothes, then ran into the bathroom and closed the door.
There was still some mist in the bathroom.
Nan Xuqiu sat on the sofa, glanced at the blurry figure in the bathroom, got up and went to the kitchen, and got himself a glass of ice water from the refrigerator.
After taking a shower, Chi Jinjin came out of the bathroom.
She looked at the tall Nan Xuqiu, then at her small sofa, and said worriedly, "How about you sleep on the bed? The sofa is a bit small, and you won't be comfortable sleeping on it..."
Nan Xuqiu stood up and walked towards her slowly.
Seeing him approaching step by step, Chi Jinjin also retreated repeatedly, and her back was suddenly pressed against the wall.
With nowhere to retreat, Chi Jinjin looked at him with blinking eyes like a rabbit forced into a dead end.
"You don't want me to sleep on the sofa, and I don't want you to sleep on the sofa either. Let me say, how about..." Nan Xuqiu slowly put one hand on the wall beside her ear, leaned close to her, and said with interest, "Let's sleep together? It's not like we haven't slept together before anyway..."
Chi Jinjin was shocked.
The next second Chi Jinjin said, "Good night."
With that, she slipped into her room and closed the door.
She was behind the door, she breathed a long sigh and covered her rapidly beating heart.
Nan Xuqiu looked at the door she closed and smiled.
Chi Jinjin sat on the edge of the bed and covered her hot cheeks.
I thought to myself, Chi Jinjin, can you be a little more ambitious? You are not a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old anymore. You are in your twenties, why do you still blush so easily?
Don't blush, don't blush.
Chi Jinjin slapped her face.
At midnight, Chi Jinjin tossed and turned in bed. She closed her eyes and tried hard to fall asleep.
Even started slowly counting sheep.
But as she counted, she couldn't help but think, I wonder if Nan Xuqiu is asleep now, whether he is sleeping well or not, it must be very uncomfortable for him to curl up on such a small sofa.
During the day, he worked so hard for himself, and he still couldn't sleep well at night...
The more Chi Jinjin thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and the more she couldn't sleep.
Finally she sat up from the bed and turned on the bedside lamp.
She thought that she should quietly check on Nan Xuqiu. If he was not asleep, she would persuade him to sleep on the bed.
Chi Jinjin got out of bed and slowly opened the door.
The living room was dark, with moonlight sneaking in through the window.
Chi Jinjin tiptoed and came to his side carefully.
Nan Xuqiu had fallen asleep.
Most of the quilt fell to the ground, with only one corner covering him.
It was cold at night, and Chi Jinjin was worried that he would catch a cold.
She remembered that he had a high fever due to a cold before, and she didn't want him to have a fever again because of her.
Chi Jinjin picked up the quilt on the ground and gently covered him with it.
Just as she was holding the quilt and trying to tuck it under his chin, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Chi Jinjin was shocked.
"What are you doing?" Nan Xuqiu asked slowly.
Chi Jinjin straightened up, stood aside, and quickly explained, "Well, I saw your quilt fell to the ground, and I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I covered you... covered you."
Nan Xuqiu slowly sat up, tilted his head slightly, and looked at her. The hazy moonlight shone on his face. His messy hair did not affect his good looks at all. Instead, it added a bit of charm to his laziness.
That’s right, it’s charm. Apart from this word, Chi Jinjin couldn’t think of anything else that could better describe Nan Xuqiu at this moment.
The way he looked at her was like a hook, as if he was looking at a property.
And it's the kind that is not concealed at all.
"Well, I'm going to sleep..." Chi Jinjin was distracted by his gaze and turned to leave.
But her wrist was suddenly pulled, and Chi Jinjin fell into Nan Xuqiu's arms in an instant.
His arms came up and hugged her.
"Chi Jinjin, has anyone ever told you not to run around in the middle of the night when there is another man at home? Do you know what will happen if you run around?" Nan Xuqiu used his slender fingertips to tuck a strand of hair off her face behind her ear.
Chi Jinjin asked blankly, "What?"
