Chapter 51 Overnight
"But..." Chi Jinjin had a headache. She didn't have a cell phone anymore and everyone she knew had gone home. How could anyone come to bail her out?
Why am I so unlucky today? Chi Jinjin felt like crying and kept rubbing her head in frustration.
The policeman continued writing and asked, "Do you remember the license plate of that taxi?"
Chi Jinjin shook her head and said, "I...I, didn't notice."
"Uncle police, I'm not a bad person. Everything I said is true. I didn't lie to you. Please believe me, okay?" Chi Jinjin said anxiously and helplessly.
The police officer helplessly told her, "Miss, we have a rule. You can't leave without bail."
"But I really don't have any friends or acquaintances here. They have all gone home." Chi Jinjin's heart was like boiling water, anxious and tormented. She didn't want to spend a night in this iron cage, but the police didn't completely believe her, and she didn't have any useful evidence.
What should I do...
Chi Jinjin was extremely worried.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "Chi Jinjin?"
Chi Jinjin immediately turned around and saw that it was Nan Xuqiu!
"Senior..." Chi Jinjin stood up suddenly and ran to him, as if she had seen a savior in despair, and said excitedly, "Senior! That's great!"
Nan Xuqiu was puzzled, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you go home?"
"I was going to go home, but there was a knife and gasoline in my bag, but the knife and gasoline were not mine. No, it was the bag that was not mine, I..." Chi Jinjin was so anxious that she was incoherent.
Nan Xuqiu reached out and touched her head, smiled slightly, and said, "Jinjin, don't be anxious, talk slowly."
After hearing his gentle comfort, Chi Jinjin calmed down a little and slowly told Nan Xuqiu what had happened.
"Senior, please help me. Go and tell the police uncle that I am a good citizen! Tell him, tell him not to lock me up..." Chi Jinjin lowered her head, feeling a little aggrieved and a little scared.
Nan Xuqiu was amused by her "good citizens".
He took Chi Jinjin's hand, like holding a child, and led her to the police who had just interrogated her.
"Uncle Guo, I can prove that she is a good citizen who abides by the law." Nan Xuqiu turned his head and looked at Chi Jinjin with a smile, and assured the police, "I guarantee that she will not do anything illegal. She is a top student in the law department of Fuhua University."
"So she's a student from Fuhua. Okay, since you've guaranteed her, she can leave first, but she has to sign it here." The police handed the form to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin took it and wrote her name on the list, and then Nan Xuqiu wrote his name next to hers as a guarantor.
Chi Jinjin looked at the list in front of her. Five years ago, her name appeared on the same paper as his, and it was on a library card. She didn't expect that her name would appear with his again five years later. However, she never expected that it was a bail slip from the police station.
She thought that all her face in her life had probably been lost in front of Nan Xuqiu.
After signing the form, they could leave. Nan Xuqiu took her hand and walked out of the police station.
When she reached the door, Chi Jinjin realized that her hand was being held by him, so she pulled her hand out of his palm awkwardly.
"Senior, thank you so much this time!" Chi Jinjin said with great gratitude. If it weren't for him, she might not have been able to leave the police station today.
Nan Xuqiu lowered his eyes to look at his empty hands, smiled slightly, and looked into her eyes again and asked, "It's so late now, where are you going?"
"Ah? I..." Chi Jinjin looked around. It was already pitch black. The school was probably closed at this time. Her cell phone, money and other things were all in that bag. She was penniless now and had no place to stay in such a big city.
Nan Xuqiu saw her embarrassment and said, "How about I find you a place to stay?"
Chi Jinjin nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."
"You're welcome. Let's go." Nan Xuqiu opened the car door and said to her.
Chi Jinjin got into his car.
The car drove for a while and drove into a villa.
"Senior, where is this place?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu replied, "My home."
As he got out of the car, Chi Jinjin was stunned. She thought that the accommodation he mentioned was to book a room for her in a hotel or something, so why did he go straight to his house?
Seeing that she was motionless in the car, Nan Xuqiu walked up to the window and knocked.
Chi Jinjin finally came to her senses and got out of the car carefully.
"Let's go in." Nan Xuqiu said.
"Senior." Chi Jinjin said nervously, "This isn't a good idea. It's my first time at your house, and I'm coming empty-handed. I'm afraid Auntie and Uncle won't be happy..."
"We'll talk about it later after meeting my parents." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin didn't understand and looked confused.
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "What I mean is, my parents don't live here. This is just my place, so you don't have to worry about running into them."
"Let's go." Nan Xuqiu took her hand again and pulled her into the house.
As soon as I entered the door, the housekeeper uncle and housekeeper aunt, the two elders, came to greet me.
"Young Master Nan is back." The housekeeper said happily, but when she saw Chi Jinjin, she became puzzled again, "Who is this..."
"Aunt Zhuang, this is Chi Jinjin, my..." Nan Xuqiu paused, glanced at the person next to him, and introduced, "a good friend."
But his hand was still holding Chi Jinjin.
"Jinjin, this is my Aunt Zhuang, and this is Uncle Zhuang." Nan Xuqiu introduced the two to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin smiled at them politely and secretly wanted to take her hand back, but Nan Xuqiu held it a little too tightly and she couldn't break free. She was also afraid that if she moved too much, it would be embarrassing.
She could only give up for now and politely said to Aunt Zhuang and Uncle Zhuang, "Hello, Auntie and Uncle."
"Okay." Aunt Zhuang looked at Chi Jinjin with a smile and asked, "You probably haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go make you some food."
Nan Xuqiu nodded.
Aunt Zhuang went back to the kitchen and started busying herself.
It was Chi Jinjin's first time to visit Nan Xuqiu's house. She felt nervous and reserved, and stood there blankly.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Please sit down, Jinjin."
Chi Jinjin nodded and slowly sat down on the sofa next to her.
She suddenly realized that Nan Xuqiu seemed to have called her "Jinjin" just now?
Although all the people around her who were close to her called her that, when it came out of his mouth, Chi Jinjin couldn't help but feel her ears burning.
She glanced at the clock in front of her. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Usually she would be home by this time, but she hadn't returned home yet. Her parents must be very worried, and her phone must have been ringing non-stop.
Or, how about borrowing Nan Xuqiu's cell phone?
Chi Jinjin looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Um, senior, can I borrow your phone? I want to let my parents know I'm safe. They're probably worried sick."
"Okay." Nan Xuqiu agreed readily and handed her the phone directly.
"Thank you." Chi Jinjin took it with both hands.
After getting the phone, Chi Jinjin asked carefully, "Senior, your... password, lock, lock screen..."
Nan Xuqiu flipped through the book and replied, "0420."
Chi Jinjin was stunned. This was the same password as her phone lock screen, but it was her birthday.
It must be a coincidence.
Chi Jinjin thought about it, and suddenly remembered that her birthday was exactly the same as Lin Shuya's, so if this was the birthday number, it should be Lin Shuya's.
Chi Jinjin unlocked his cell phone and called home, but it took two tries before the call went through.
Zhang Xianmei's voice came from the phone, and Chi Jinjin hurriedly said, "Mom! It's me, it's Jinjin!"
"Jinjin?" Zhang Xianmei's voice on the phone sounded a little confused at first, but soon became excited. "Jinjin, where are you now? Why didn't you go home? I called you but no one answered. Why did you change your phone number?"
A series of questions came to Chi Jinjin, and Chi Jinjin slowly explained them to Zhang Xianmei one by one.
"So you're still in the police station?"
Chi Jinjin replied, "I don't have a mother. My friend bailed me out and I'm staying at my friend's house temporarily."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be back as soon as things here are over." Chi Jinjin comforted the worried elders.
Zhang Xianmei's voice on the phone gradually calmed down, and she asked again, "So, are your classmates boys or girls?"
"Well……"
Chi Jinjin glanced at Nan Xuqiu who was still reading and replied guiltily, "Female, female classmate."
Nan Xuqiu paused while turning the pages of the book, lowered his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, that's good. When you are at your classmate's house, try not to cause trouble to them. When you come back, you must thank them properly." Zhang Xianmei reminded.
Then Chi Changgui asked again, "How about Dad come pick you up tomorrow?"
Chi Jinjin thought the journey was so long and there were so many people there, she didn't want her father to suffer, so she refused him and said, "Dad, don't worry, I have a way to come back, and I can't come back now because I have to cooperate with the police investigation."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jinjin thanked him and handed the phone back to him.
"You're welcome." Nan Xuqiu took it and smiled slightly.
At this time, Aunt Zhuang's meal was ready, and Nan Xuqiu took her over to eat.
While eating, Chi Jinjin was considering whether to borrow some money from Nan Xuqiu to go home. Although it was a bit embarrassing, Nan Xuqiu was the only one who could help her now.
"Try this." Nan Xuqiu picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it in Chi Jinjin's bowl, saying, "My Aunt Zhuang made this dish, it's really delicious."
"Thank you." Chi Jinjin didn't expect that he would suddenly pick up some food for her, and hurriedly thanked him.
Nan Xuqiu looked at her stunned expression, smiled dotingly, and said to Aunt Zhuang, "Aunt Zhuang, please clean up the room next to mine. I'm staying here tonight."
"Okay." Aunt Zhuang nodded.
Chi Jinjin said embarrassedly, "Sorry to bother you, Auntie."
"No trouble, no trouble." Aunt Zhuang smiled and pulled Uncle Zhuang upstairs with a happy expression.
Uncle Zhuang used the key to open the room next to Nan Xuqiu, and Aunt Zhuang brought clean bedding to change into.
While making the bed, Aunt Zhuang whispered, "Old man, I think our young master likes that girl."
"Really?" Uncle Zhuang was unsure.
Aunt Zhuang said firmly, "Of course he likes her! In all these years, have you ever seen him bring any girl here, staying overnight? There are so many rooms in the house, and he even specifically asked for the room next door."
"But doesn't Young Master Nan have a girlfriend? She's the celebrity Lin Shuya." Uncle Zhuang said.
Aunt Zhuang was speechless and said, "Those two broke up eight hundred years ago, and when he was dating Lin Shuya, he never brought her back here. It seems that the young master really likes this girl. Look at the look in his eyes. On the surface, he seems not to be looking at her, but in fact, he has never left her side. However, the girl doesn't seem to know yet. It seems that our young master has a crush on her."
"You still want to have a crush on the young master with his conditions?" Uncle Zhuang couldn't believe it.
Aunt Zhuang said, "That little girl is not bad either. I think she would be the type that the Madam and the old lady would like."
"You're thinking too far ahead..." Uncle Zhuang shook his head and laughed.
After dinner, Nan Xuqiu took Chi Jinjin upstairs to see the room she was going to live in.
"My room is next door. If you have anything at night, you can always come to me." Nan Xuqiu pointed to his room and said to her.
Chi Jinjin nodded.
After expressing her gratitude, Chi Jinjin walked into the room. The room was larger than her dormitory and had a balcony with a railing made of imitation rattan.
Chi Jinjin sat down on the chair, recalling this terrible day, and the more she thought about it, the more tired she felt.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door again.
Chi Jinjin quickly got up and ran to open the door. When she opened it, it turned out to be Nan Xuqiu.
"Senior..."
Nan Xuqiu said, "I was afraid you wouldn't be comfortable sleeping at night, so I brought you a set of pajamas. But I don't have any girls' here, so I can only give you mine. But I promise it's clean. You... don't mind, right?"
"No, no." Chi Jinjin took the clothes and said, "Thank you, senior. I'm sorry for your trouble."
"You're welcome." Nan Xuqiu turned around and went back to his room.
Chi Jinjin gently closed the door.
She looked down at the pajamas in her arms, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
After taking a shower, Chi Jinjin changed into his clothes. The clothes were too big and looked like a child wearing adult clothes.
She could only roll up her sleeves and trouser legs.
Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, she couldn't help but imagine what Nan Xuqiu would look like wearing this outfit?
She had never seen Nan Xuqiu in pajamas before.
wrong!
Chi Jinjin came back to her senses and wondered in her heart what she was thinking about.
How can...
It's such a sin! It's such a sin!
Chi Jinjin couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot and quickly covered her face.
Nan Xuqiu walked downstairs and happened to meet Aunt Zhuang who was carrying milk upstairs.
"Auntie, is this milk for Jinjin?"
Nan Xuqiu asked.
Aunt Zhuang replied, "Yes, a glass of milk before bed will help you sleep better."
"I'll get it for her." Nan Xuqiu took the milk from the tray and said to Aunt Zhuang, "You're tired after a day, go and rest early."
"Okay." Aunt Zhuang nodded and turned to leave.
Nan Xuqiu held the milk, looked back at Chi Jinjin's door, and smiled gently.
