☆、Forty-three prisoners
Xia Anan woke up from her dream and heard a noise outside the bedroom. She got up and put on a coat. Nan Jinnian was wearing casual home clothes and cooking dinner in the kitchen.
After seeing Xia Anan wake up, he put the last dish on the plate and chuckled, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
Xia Anan looked at Nan Jinnian and suddenly felt a little dazed.
Once upon a time, the man in front of her was just like this, who would prepare three meals a day for her and do housework for her...
"What are you daydreaming about?" Nan Jinnian walked up to Xia Anan and pushed her to the dining table. The dishes in front of her were all her favorites...
In fact, she doesn’t have a favorite food. For her, as long as she can eat it, it’s fine.
"Try it quickly. I haven't cooked in years. I don't know if my cooking skills have deteriorated." Nan Jinnian picked up a piece of shredded meat and put it to Xia Anan's mouth.
Looking at the table full of food, Xia Anan really had no appetite. What on earth was this man going to do? Was he going to imprison her again?
But seeing the man's expectant eyes, she still opened her mouth and ate the piece of shredded meat.
After seeing Xia Anan eat it, he smiled with satisfaction: "How is it?"
"Hmm..." She nodded gently.
Nan Jinnian was in a good mood after getting the response. He didn't prepare any bowls and chopsticks for Xia Anan, and he was the one who fed her the whole time.
As long as Nan Jinnian picked up something for her, she would eat it. Xia Anan didn't taste anything during the meal, but she just couldn't refuse this man...
I had clearly decided to break up with him, but in the end I still hesitated...
She had to admit that she couldn't bear to leave him, couldn't bear to really leave him.
Even though everything in the past made her hard to let go...
Nan Jinnian looked at the table and saw that the food was almost finished, so he said, "An An...can we just be like before..."
Back...back to the past...
Xia Anan's heart couldn't help but ache. If she could really go back to the past, she wouldn't have left so decisively.
"Nan Jinnian, there's no going back." A pair of hazy eyes looked straight at him. She was hurt too deeply, and her past love had made her extremely exhausted.
The person in front of him put down his chopsticks and hugged Xia Anan in his arms: "You can go back! You can go back!"
He gently stroked Xia Anan's hair: "Anan, will you marry me?"
Hearing this, Xia Anan was really moved...
These were the words she most wanted to hear. She had imagined how Nan Jinnian would propose to her at that time, just like when he confessed his love to her...
Her silence made Nan Jinnian's heart sink a little bit. He leaned over and kissed Xia Anan on the lips, but it was just a light kiss, leaving only a tiny ripple. He said, "It's okay... I'll wait... until you accept me again."
It doesn't matter, just like when they first met, he will pursue her again, he will let her come back to his side, not only physically, he also wants her heart to come back to him!
The night was long, but Xia Anan didn't feel sleepy at all.
The man behind her didn't do anything to her, he just held him quietly, and she leaned against his chest to feel his heartbeat, so strong and steady...
This man's arms were once her safest place, but in order to be able to rely on these arms forever, she did too many stupid things and made too many wrong things, which exhausted all her energy... Her heart was exhausted. She loved this man, but she could no longer love him.
Her heart had been completely closed from the moment she lost her child and the moment she jumped off the cliff.
She no longer longs for love, nor does she long for the glory she once had... If she had not been so obsessed and had not selfishly possessed the happiness that did not belong to her, she would not have brought her misfortune to others.
The person behind her could be heard breathing steadily, which indicated that the man behind her had fallen asleep, but she still didn't dare to move, for fear that any movement would wake the man behind her.
Finally, after a long time, Xia Anan thought the man behind her had fallen asleep, so she slowly got up and walked out.
Her cell phone was taken away by Nan Jinnian, so she couldn't contact Huo Cheng, but this guy must be looking for her and Nan Jinnian all over Yuncheng, so she had to go back quickly.
In fact, she knew Huo Cheng's feelings, but... her heart was locked, and love... she didn't want to touch it again in this life.
But she couldn't let them worry...
She put on her clothes and walked to the door, carefully opening the door lock. With a "click", the door lock opened from the inside.
But then, Nan Jinnian's voice came from behind: "Why are you leaving again?"
Xia Anan turned around suddenly and leaned against the door, not daring to move.
She didn't expect that the man would wake up!
"Why do you want to leave me again?" Nan Jinnian asked her indifferently.
"No... Lin Xin didn't see me and she... would be worried." Xia Anan said nervously. She was really afraid of Nan Jinnian... Even though she didn't care about his torture two years ago, the fear in her heart had already begun to grow.
"Yang Linxin? Are you really going back because of Yang Linxin? And not for that... Huo Cheng?" Nan Jinnian's eyes became dangerous.
Xia Anan touched the door handle, and if it didn't work, she would push the door and run away!
But this is the eleventh floor...do I have to run up the stairs?
Just when Xia Anan was about to start her escape plan, Nan Jinnian had already walked up to her quickly: "Xia Anan...are you leaving me because of that Huo Cheng?! You fell in love with him?! Right?!"
Nan Jinnian grabbed Xia Anan's shoulders tightly, and some red bloodshot began to appear in his eyes.
Xia Anan held the door handle tightly: "Nan Jinnian...you hurt me..."
"Tell me! Are you in love with him?! Is it because I don't want you anymore that you decided to look for another man?!" When people are impulsive, their brains often lose their rationality, and Nan Jinnian was like that at the moment, but after he said it, his rationality instantly returned...
He...what nonsense was he talking about just now!
The woman in front of him turned pale. She looked at Nan Jinnian and said, "Yes! I have fallen in love with Huo Cheng! Nan Jinnian, I stopped loving you a long time ago! I stopped loving you when you killed my child and pushed me to a point where I had no way out!"
It turns out that impulse is contagious.
Xia Anan was provoked by Nan Jinnian. If it were two years ago, she might have silently endured everything she said, but now she no longer wanted to love him, nor did she want to atone for her past mistakes! She was tired! Just treat her as a bad woman! She didn't care!
"Nan Jinnian! Huo Cheng has been with me for the past two years. He was by my side when I was in so much pain that I wanted to die. He left his career and stayed with me wholeheartedly. It was he who helped me cure my depression and walked out of the darkness! I love him! I love Huo Cheng!" So be it! Although she felt sorry for Huo Cheng! But... she really didn't want to continue to pester him!
The bloodshot in the man's eyes grew more and more, and he gripped Xia Anan's shoulders tightly, as if he wanted to crush them...
Xia Anan frowned in pain, but since the words had already been said, she could not show weakness anymore. Her showing of weakness would only make it more and more difficult to sever the entanglement between them.
But she forgot that after seven years of experience in the business world, Nan Jinnian was no longer the man she knew. When Nan Jinnian heard Xia Anan's words, his first reaction might have been anger, but after that, he felt helpless...
He sighed softly: "An An...I was impulsive."
Xia Anan was stunned. She thought Nan Jinnian would be furious and start torturing her like he did two years ago, but this man suddenly calmed down and showed weakness to her.
"I won't say such things again in the future..." Nan Jin gently hugged Xia Anan in her arms: "No matter what you say, I won't believe it... Anan, even if you hate me, I don't care. I just want you not to leave me."
Xia Anan just felt like a fist hitting cotton, which made her feel weak all over.
Finally, Xia Anan surrendered: "I won't leave...at least let me tell Lin Xin."
"I've already told Yang Linxin." Nan Jinnian said, "I don't care about them. I just want you not to leave me."
"..." Xia Anan really had nothing to say.
Looking at the silent woman in his arms, Nan Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, she probably wouldn't think of leaving.
Late at night, Xia Anan finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in Nan Jinnian's arms.
After Xia Anan fell asleep, Nan Jinnian finally relaxed his body and mind... At least Xia Anan would not think about leaving while she was asleep.
He held her tightly, but even so, he was still afraid that she would run away.
But sleepiness overtook him, and he looked at the person in his arms and murmured, "I'm sorry... I love you."
When Xia Anan woke up, Nan Jinnian had already left, and there was one more person in the house.
"Xiao An, you're awake." Aunt Huang, whom I hadn't seen for two years, had more white hair on her head.
"Aunt Huang..." Xia Anan didn't expect Nan Jinnian to let Aunt Huang accompany her...
"Go wash up first. I'll go heat up the breakfast Xiaonan prepared." Aunt Huang chuckled. She was happy for them from the bottom of her heart to see the two of them together.
Nan Jinnian called Aunt Huang and asked Lin Cheng to bring all of Aunt Huang's family from the countryside to Yuncheng to settle them down.
However, Nan Jinnian only told Aunt Huang to take care of Xia Anan, but did not say anything about what happened between the two of them. The reason why she thought the two of them were together was just Aunt Huang's personal opinion.
Xia Anan chuckled, but felt heavy inside.
"Aunt Huang...I want to go out for a while." Xia Anan said.
"Go out?" Aunt Huang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay...but you have to come back before Xiaonan comes back, otherwise the child will blame me, an old woman, if he can't see you."
"Aunt Huang... actually... I didn't..." Xia Anan wanted to tell Aunt Huang the truth, but when she thought about how this elder used to be someone close to Aunt Nan... and how she was friendly to her... she didn't know how to start.
"Xiao An, it's not easy for you two to be together. Now that you are together, you should let go of the past. Besides, Xiao Nan has never liked someone for such a long time since he was a child. So... you have been together for almost ten years... and the child is in his thirties now..." Aunt Huang sighed to herself.
"Alas, but Xiaonan is also miserable. The master and the lady passed away so early, leaving him alone. Fortunately, the child now has you, and the master and the lady can rest assured in the other world."
Breakfast was already heated up, and Aunt Huang brought it to the table: "Go wash up quickly, what are you standing there for?"
Xia Anan looked at Aunt Huang quietly.
After listening to Aunt Huang's words, my originally firm heart began to waver.
Yes, Nan Jinnian once had a beautiful family, and the world was a beautiful place for him...but her intervention destroyed everything.
The vegetable porridge on the table exuded a faint fragrance, and the eggs were fried into a heart shape, which was her favorite shape.
The afternoon sun shone into the study, but they had just moved in, so there were not many things in it and the bookshelves were almost empty.
She didn't bring up the matter of going out again...
If she really left at the airport, she wouldn't know how to face Nan Jinnian when she saw him again.
She sat in a chair, basking in the afternoon sun, the warmth making her feel a little sleepy.
This kind of life had appeared in her dreams.
She would not live in a dark basement. She could eat warm food, live in her own home, fall asleep in the afternoon sunshine, and wake up to see her lover...
I feel the peacefulness of life day after day.
