Chapter 91 Flower Room
Chi Jinjin was waiting in the office for Nan Xuqiu to get off work and go back with him, but it took too long and she fell asleep on the sofa involuntarily.
Seeing this, Nan Xuqiu took his police uniform next to him and covered her with it.
When Chi Jinjin woke up, she found that she had already returned to the room.
When she came out of the room, Nan Xuqiu had already gone to work.
Chi Jinjin tidied herself up and went to the station.
Since winning the lawsuit, Chi Jinjin has started to take on many cases and has become quite famous in the police station.
"Hey, did you hear? A murder happened in You'a yesterday!"
"What do you mean by hearsay? I was there and saw it with my own eyes. His throat was cut. It was horrifying."
"Jinjin, have you heard?" a colleague asked Xiang Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin shook her head and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"
"He was caught. Fortunately, he was caught. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go out." The colleague was relieved.
Chi Jinjin was curious, so she used her mobile phone to search for the local news, and sure enough, she found it. The deceased looked to be no more than 30 years old.
Chi Jinjin felt sad. Such a vibrant life was gone in an instant.
No one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
Chi Jinjin returned home and saw Nan Xuqiu's car. She knew he was back, so she ran into the house happily.
But he was not on the first floor as usual, so Chi Jinjin went upstairs to his room to find him.
His door was not closed. Chi Jinjin paused and stood at the door. She saw Nan Xuqiu sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down. The lights were not on and he was shrouded in deep depression.
Chi Jinjin opened the door, came to his side, and asked, "Nan Xuqiu, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Xuqiu lowered his head even lower and said in a distressed tone, "Did you know that a murder happened in You'a?"
"Yeah, I know. I heard someone talking about it during the day." Chi Jinjin replied.
Nan Xuqiu said, "The deceased is the wife of my police officer."
Chi Jinjin was shocked.
"Why did that person want to harm her?" Chi Jinjin asked hurriedly.
Nan Xuqiu said, "The murderer had a history of theft and was sent to prison by my master."
Chi Jinjin understood that after the man was caught, he probably held a grudge against Nan Xuqiu's master, so he killed his master's family as a revenge.
Nan Xuqiu closed his eyes, and a tear fell in the darkness.
"When is her funeral?" Chi Jinjin asked.
"Two days later." Nan Xuqiu replied.
Chi Jinjin took a step forward, hugged his head, and said, "I'll go with you."
Two days later, Chi Jinjin, wearing a black dress with a white chrysanthemum pinned on his chest, went to his master's house with Nan Xuqiu.
The door of my house is already full of relatives, friends and colleagues.
Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu stood beside the gate with everyone else, and everyone's face was extremely solemn.
At this time, there was a thunder in the sky and heavy rain gradually began to fall.
Fortunately, Nan Xuqiu and the others had umbrellas.
Soon, a little boy came out from the gate with an urn in his hands.
Nan Xuqiu's master was standing beside him holding an umbrella, and both of them had white mourning bands on their heads.
Chi Jinjin only then found out that Nan Xuqiu's master had a son who was six or seven years old.
His small stature made the urn in his arms seem very large and heavy.
Both the father and the son had red eyes, and tears were still rolling down the child's eyes, falling one by one on the urn.
Nan Xuqiu's master had no expression on his face, only a look of sadness.
The two of them walked slowly forward together in the heavy rain.
Chi Jinjin remembered those words.
There is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life in this world, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for us...
After returning from the funeral, Nan Xuqiu has been depressed and locked himself in the room.
"Nan Xuqiu..." Chi Jinjin sat down beside him.
Nan Xuqiu lowered his head and said, "Jinjin, I don't want to be a police officer anymore."
"Is it because of what happened to your master?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu looked at Chi Jinjin and said, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that I can't even save you. I'm afraid that I will hurt you too."
"Nan Xuqiu, you should continue to be the boss." Chi Jinjin said.
"Aren't you afraid?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin asked, "Remember the guy who stabbed someone in the law firm? We lawyers are also living in the hottest spots. If we were all afraid, then there would be no police and no lawyers in this world. Wouldn't that just turn the world into a world of bad guys?"
"Nan Xuqiu, we have to keep going. We exist to warn those bad guys. There are police in this world who will arrest them and laws that will punish them. We want them to know that not everything can go as they wish, allowing them to do evil and kill and burn people at will." There was determination in Chi Jinjin's eyes.
Nan Xuqiu reached out and hugged her.
Chi Jinjin felt something hot falling on her shoulder.
She knew he was crying.
Nan Xuqiu seems very rational, but he is actually a sensitive person.
He looks excellent and indestructible, but in fact he is very fragile inside.
"Jinjin, have you really made up your mind? Do you want me to continue being a police officer and to be with me?" Nan Xuqiu hugged her tightly and asked.
Chi Jinjin said without hesitation, "Let's face it together. With you, I'm not afraid of anything."
Even if it means death...
Nan Xuqiu let go of her, took her hand, and said, "Jinjin, come with me somewhere."
Chi Jinjin nodded and followed him out of the room and into the garden.
There is another house in the garden, but it is always locked, so Chi Jinjin has never been there.
Nan Xuqiu took her to the front of the room.
He pressed a few times on the combination lock and then asked, "Jinjin, which finger do you usually use to unlock it?"
"Forefinger." Chi Jinjin replied.
Nan Xuqiu pulled her hand over and recorded the fingerprint of her index finger.
"Why are you recording my fingerprints?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Nan Xuqiu said, "This is a gift I prepared for you."
"This room?"
Nan Xuqiu nodded and said, "But the most important gift is inside."
"Can I go in and take a look?"
"Of course, it belongs to you."
Chi Jinjin unlocked the code and pressed the door handle. The moment the door opened, the light inside automatically lit up.
What catches the eye are countless chamomiles, a whole room full of chamomiles, each one blooming exceptionally brilliantly.
There were various photos hanging in the room. Chi Jinjin took a look and found that they were all her old photos!
If she hadn't seen it, she wouldn't have known that Nan Xuqiu had taken so many photos of himself.
"These flowers..."
"I planted them, every single bunch."
Chi Jinjin was speechless for a moment. He actually planted a whole house of chamomile for himself.
"The chamomile I gave you in the hospital that time was the first bunch I grew in this room," said Nan Xuqiu.
Hospital.
Chi Jinjin recalled that when her father was injured, because it was the first time he gave her flowers, she dried the bouquet and kept it at home.
But she didn't expect that the first bouquet of flowers he gave her were grown by him.
"Nan Xuqiu..." Chi Jinjin was so moved that she couldn't speak.
"Jinjin." Nan Xuqiu suddenly said, "You said we should fall in love before getting married. We have been in love for so long, isn't it time to get married?"
Chi Jinjin was stunned and wondered, had she ever said this?
While she was still reminiscing, Nan Xuqiu took off the ring that he had worn on his hand for more than ten years, and slowly knelt on one knee in front of Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin was startled and looked at him in surprise.
Nan Xuqiu raised the ring and said to her, "Miss Chi, I, Nan Xuqiu, use time as a matchmaker and the rest of my life as an engagement. My beloved, I am willing to hold your hand and grow old with you. Are you willing to join me, starting from the first time we met and ending with the end of our lives?"
His eyes were sincere and passionate as he looked at Chi Jinjin, quietly waiting for her answer.
Chi Jinjin was a little hesitant, thinking of the huge differences between their families, but she looked at him.
Chi Jinjin suddenly had no worries. The chamomiles all over the room seemed to tell her that Nan Xuqiu was a person worthy of entrusting her life to.
She nodded and said, "I wish to be with you year after year, morning after morning, evening after evening."
Nan Xuqiu's nervous expression finally turned into a smile.
He stood up and slowly put the ring on Chi Jinjin's finger.
Chi Jinjin looked at the person in front of her, and Nan Xuqiu also looked at the person in front of her.
The person in front of you is also the one in your heart.
I was so surprised among millions of people that I was willing to offer my life with a smile.
The grass is producing seeds, the wind is shaking the branches, and it is already beautiful for us to stand there without saying a word.
"Nan Xuqiu, I have a question. Actually, I wanted to ask you this many years ago." Chi Jinjin looked at the ring on her hand.
"What?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin asked, "Why is this ring so important to you?"
Nan Xuqiu held her hand, rubbing the ring with the tip of his thumb. He said, "This ring was given to me by someone very important to me. It was custom-made and the only one of its kind in the world. She said it would bring me good luck and ward off evil spirits. Over the years, I've always been able to turn misfortune into good fortune. I think it's because it's protecting me."
"But if you give it to me, what will you do?" Chi Jinjin asked, "Will you not have any luck?"
Nan Xuqiu smiled gently and said, "I am very lucky to have met you. You are my greatest good fortune."
He used this ring to exchange for Chi Jinjin's remaining life, hoping that it could protect his Jinjin and ensure that he would be free from disasters and live in peace and safety from now on.
"Nan Xuqiu, you too."
"What?"
Chi Jinjin smiled, took a step forward, grabbed his collar, and kissed him on the lips.
Nan Xuqiu slowly closed his eyes, put his arms around Chi Jinjin's waist, hugged her, and kissed her affectionately and cherishingly.
The mountains and forests do not swear to the passage of time; their prosperity and decline are determined by fate. The wind has its appointments, the flowers have their mistakes, but they never let each other down year after year. The setting sun and the evening breeze, morning after morning...
"What! Nan Xuqiu proposed to you?" A few days later, Tang Shi heard the news and immediately said excitedly, "That's great! I can finally be your bridesmaid! I've been waiting so long that the flowers are almost withered."
"Tang Shi, calm down." Chi Jinjin gestured to Tang Shi, who had stood up excitedly, and said, "We still have to wait a while for this bridesmaid matter."
"Hasn't he already proposed? What are you waiting for?"
"A proposal is a proposal. After the proposal, there will be engagement and then marriage. This is just the beginning." Chi Jinjin said.
"That's right, I had forgotten that you've just started preparing for your marriage." Tang Shi smiled and added, "Then you can meet each other's parents."
parents……
Chi Jinjin then remembered that she had not told her parents about this matter yet.
Although Nan Xuqiu had seen his father and mother before, and not just once.
But he only knew them as friends and seniors.
She wondered whether she should take Nan Xuqiu home during the Chinese New Year.
In the evening, Chi Jinjin tentatively asked, "Nan Xuqiu, this New Year, do you... want to go home with me?"
"So, this time, what identity should I go back with?" Nan Xuqiu asked, jokingly saying, "I don't need to go with you as a female classmate."
Only then did Chi Jinjin realize that Nan Xuqiu had heard what she had said to her parents before, but this guy pretended not to hear and listened seriously to how she lied.
What a thief!
Chi Jinjin picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at him. Nan Xuqiu reached out to take it and smiled.
The years pass by quickly, and the Spring Festival is coming soon.
Chi Jinjin packed up and prepared to go home.
While cleaning up the dishes with Aunt Zhuang, she said happily, "This year, Mr. Nan Xiao can finally celebrate the New Year without having to be alone."
"Was he always alone before?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Aunt Zhuang said distressedly, "Yes, all alone."
"Then uncle and aunt, won't you be back for the New Year?" Chi Jinjin asked, and said, "Aunt Zhuang, there's something I've always wanted to ask. Does Nan Xuqiu have a bad relationship with uncle and aunt? He said before that they didn't want to see him..."
"It's about right. She and Mr. Nan are okay, but Madam... " Aunt Zhuang shook her head.
"Why do they have a bad relationship?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
"I don't know either. Ever since I came here to take care of Mr. Nan, the relationship between mother and son has been very strained. Later, the lady left and never came back. Only Mr. Nan comes to visit occasionally." Aunt Zhuang sighed.
Chi Jinjin had a feeling that there must be something hidden behind this. It seemed that she would have to find an opportunity to ask her grandmother later. She would definitely know.
The next day, Nan Xuqiu helped Chi Jinjin carry the luggage into the car. Chi Jinjin only saw things in the trunk behind the car.
Even her luggage had to be placed in the back seat.
"Who are you giving these things to?" Chi Jinjin saw that they were all in gift boxes.
Nan Xuqiu replied, "To my future father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"This is an exaggeration." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu took a look and said, "It seems a little bit. It doesn't matter. More is better. Let your relatives and neighbors see that you are already taken."
Chi Jinjin smiled helplessly.
After driving for a day or two, Nan Xuqiu and Chi Jinjin finally arrived at their doorstep.
The moment they saw Nan Xuqiu, Chi Jinjin's parents were extremely excited and hurried forward to greet him.
But when they saw Nan Xuqiu holding Chi Jinjin's hand, they were both stunned.
"Uncle and aunt, let me introduce myself again. My name is Nan Xuqiu, and I'm your Jinjin's boyfriend." Nan Xuqiu thought of something and said, "No, it should be her fiancé."
