Chapter 61
"Let her go!"
Ren Qiao'an practically flashed between the two of them. Ren Qiao'an considered himself a relatively mild-mannered person, but tonight he had rushed to the restaurant like a madman. So when Ren Qiao'an saw Xue Ren attacking Jin Xi, he was furious. Without a second thought, he rushed between the two of them, pushed Xue Ren aside, and protected Jin Xi behind him.
Xue Ren lost his balance after being pushed by the angry girl who suddenly appeared. He took a step back and said, "...it's you." Xue Ren recognized this girl. After she appeared next to Jin Xi once a long time ago, the two of them often appeared at the same time.
"Ren Qiao'an..." Jin Xi was also confused. She stared blankly at Ren Qiao'an holding her hand and protecting her behind him.
Ren Qiao'an's eyes were on Xue Ren. She took out her cell phone and put it in front of Xue Ren, "This person is you, right?"
The dim white light reflected on Xue Ren's face, making him dazed for a while. After a while, Xue Ren could see clearly what was on the phone screen. Xue Ren's face changed slightly, and then he realized what Ren Qiao'an meant. He pushed Ren Qiao'an's hand away, not daring to look him in the eye. "I don't know what you are talking about."
Ren Qiao'an didn't miss the change in Xue Ren's expression. He frowned and said after a pause, "In that case. Jinxi, let's go to the police station."
Jin Xi was still in a daze at this time and did not respond, but someone was very excited when he heard Ren Qiao'an's words.
"Fuck! What do you want to do!" Xue Ren shouted at a high voice. Is this guy crazy?
Ren Qiao'an was not crazy. She thought this was the most correct thing to do. "Of course, call the police." Ren Qiao'an said to Xue Ren without changing his expression, "I have reason to suspect that this person followed Jin Xi, took photos secretly and uploaded them to the Internet, and spread false and insulting rumors. This behavior seriously violated personal privacy and reputation. The most important thing is that it seriously threatened Jin Xi's personal life. People like this are really too dangerous, so I urgently feel that we should go to the police station for help, don't you think?" Seeing Xue Ren's face turn pale, Ren Qiao'an continued, "Do you think the police will help us find out the true identity of this pervert? This kind of online account should be easy to trace the real person." Ren Qiao'an deliberately made the situation sound extremely serious, but when he saw Xue Ren's face becoming more and more wrong, Ren Qiao'an became more and more certain of his guess.
As the protagonist in Ren Qiao'an's words, Jin Xi listened for a long time before vaguely understanding something, "Xue Ren, what good thing did you do?" Jin Xi frowned, her eyes cold, and began to examine the man in front of her.
"Xixi, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I didn't do that. I didn't take these photos, nor did I post them on Tieba. How could I do such a thing?" Xue Ren argued in panic.
Ren Qiao'an hadn't said anything yet, but this fool was so eager to take the blame that he was practically confessing his crime. Ren Qiao'an sneered and was about to refute this pale sophistry when she suddenly felt her wrist tighten. It turned out to be Jin Xi who had grabbed her hand. Ren Qiao'an looked at Jin Xi in confusion, only to hear Jin Xi say, "Let's go, let's go to the police station."
After a brief eye contact, Ren Qiaoan understood Jin Xi's intention and said obediently, "Okay."
Seeing that Jin Xi was really going to leave with Ren Qiao'an, Xue Ren panicked. He wanted to stop Jin Xi, but was ruthlessly waved away by Jin Xi. Xue Ren followed Jin Xi's footsteps while begging, "No! I'm sorry, I was wrong, I... I was confused for a moment. You, you can't call the police, I... you can't call the police!" Xue Ren was already incoherent. If he called the police and made things worse, he would be finished. No! This can't be done! Xue Ren knew that Jin Xi was the kind of person who could do such a thing. She would never consider him. As long as Jin Xi insisted on holding her accountable, he would be the only one who would be hurt. Jin Xi would destroy him. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xue Ren was really panicked and scared. He regretted it.
Jin Xi pretended not to notice Xue Ren's desperate pleading. She looked at Ren Qiao'an and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ren Qiao'an maintained a serious expression throughout. She knew deep down that if she went to the police station to handle this kind of thing, it would most likely end up in nothing. However, Xue Ren's behavior had crossed the line, making Ren Qiao'an feel very dangerous. Although Xue Ren's performance at this moment was more like a coward, a coward who only did evil in the dark! But when pushed to the limit, even a dog will jump over the wall. After weighing the pros and cons, Ren Qiao'an could only choose the conservative approach. "Delete it." Ren Qiao'an stared into Xue Ren's eyes and warned in the strongest tone: "Then, don't show up in front of Jin Xi again."
"..." Xue Ren's lips moved. He was unwilling in his heart, but it was not worth risking his reputation for a woman.
"good."
After leaving the restaurant, Ren Qiao'an took Jin Xi for a long walk, and there was silence between the two.
Jin Xi looked at the hand that had been tightly clasping hers, and a warm feeling surged in her heart, "How did you know I was here?" Ren Qiao'an still cared about her and still cared about her.
"..." Ren Qiao'an pursed his lips tightly and didn't reply to Jin Xi immediately. God knows how panicked she was when she saw the latest photo on the post and realized that Jin Xi might have been stalked. So Ren Qiao'an immediately sent a message to Jin Xi asking where she was. When she didn't get a reply, she asked Tang Mu, who fortunately knew.
"How do you know Xue Ren..."
Ren Qiaoan suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Why don't you check your phone messages?"
Ren Qiao'an's tone was a bit fierce, and Jin Xi was stunned. Jin Xi took out her phone belatedly and saw that Ren Qiao'an had sent her many messages and n missed calls. "Sorry, my phone has been on silent during class and I forgot to turn it off..." Jin Xi didn't finish her words before Ren Qiao'an hugged her tightly.
In the cold wind, the two hugged each other tightly. Jin Xi could clearly feel Ren Qiao'an's body temperature and heartbeat. She felt Ren Qiao'an's fear, the fear of losing her.
"I'm sorry, Ren Qiao'an. I shouldn't have been so willful to keep the appointment and shouldn't have made you angry." Jin Xi said weakly, but she was happy in her heart. Compared with before, all the annoyance was gone because Ren Qiao'an liked her so much.
Jin Xi was enjoying this moment of tenderness when Ren Qiao'an suddenly let go of her embrace and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
“…”
Ren Qiao'an frowned again: "You're still drinking? Who did you drink with?"
"I drank alone." Being scolded by Ren Qiao'an again, Jin Xi complained aggrievedly, "Who told you to ignore me?"
The soft and sweet words sounded like complaints and also like coquettishness. Ren Qiao'an's angry heart softened immediately. She could of course guess that Jin Xi did it to irritate her. Ren Qiao'an sighed softly, "It's my fault." She was too self-righteous. It was a relationship issue between the two of them. Even if she was angry, she should have communicated with Jin Xi properly.
Hearing Ren Qiao'an admit his mistake, Jin Xi felt even more aggrieved, "Hmph, then why didn't you pay attention to me?" Jin Xi stretched out her finger, poked Ren Qiao'an's chest, and then drew circles on Ren Qiao'an's chest.
Ren Qiaoyan grabbed Jin Xi's restless hand and said, "I'm not ignoring you, I'm just angry."
"Why are you angry? Just because I met that boy and didn't tell you." Jin Xi drooped her little face, her face full of dissatisfaction. Ren Qiao'an inexplicably suspected her, but she was not angry. Ren Qiao'an was still angry. What reason did she have to be angry!
Ren Qiao'an explained, "I'm not angry because you met with a boy alone. Of course, it would have been best if you had told me in advance, but what made me most angry was that you said you liked him. Do you know how much that hurt me, scumbag?"
Ren Qiao'an's words were sincere, but Jin Xi was confused. "Who did you say I liked?" Over the years, it seemed that the only person Jin Xi had liked was the one in front of her.
"..." Ren Qiaoan thought Jin Xi was playing dumb, "How would I know his name?"
Jin Xi finally realized that it was all a misunderstanding. "I wasn't talking about him that day. That was the first time I met that man. I wasn't unhappy that day because of him."
"?" Now it was Ren Qiao'an's turn to be dumbfounded. "Zha Zha, do you have another ex-lover?"
"..." Jin Xi rolled her eyes at Ren Qiao'an. She was so angry that she almost laughed. "Silly boy, I'm unhappy because of my mom."
“???”
So, Ren Qiao'an made a big misunderstanding?
"Your mother?"
"Yes." Jin Xi pretended to be angry and punched Ren Qiaoyuan, "What on earth are you thinking?"
"Uh..." Ren Qiao'an held her forehead with her hand. She needed some quiet time. "So, why are you unhappy when your mother comes to see you?" It was hard not to be misunderstood by Jin Xi's behavior that day.
At the mention of this, Jin Xi's expression changed, like a proud peacock defeated. She lowered her head pitifully and snuggled up to her lover. Leaning against Ren Qiao'an's shoulder, Jin Xi spoke with a hint of resentment, "I thought she was coming to see me. Turns out, she came to introduce me to a man. Besides, she wouldn't have remembered she had a daughter." Even more chilling for Jin Xi was the possibility that her mother's thoughts about her were likely due to her grandfather. Jin Xi had hoped for this, too.
"..." Thinking of Jinxi's family, Ren Qiaoan knew that this was Jinxi's pain point. Ren Qiaoan didn't know Jinxi's parents, so she couldn't judge them too much. She could only hug the person in front of her and comfort her, "No, no."
Seeing Jin Xi's sad look, Ren Qiao'an realized how hateful he was. He didn't help Jin Xi when she was hurt, but instead did something that made the situation worse. "I'm sorry, Jin Xi, I shouldn't have doubted you and gotten angry with you."
"It's not your fault, Ren Qiao'an." Jin Xi leaned softly in Ren Qiao'an's arms, enjoying his embrace and greedy for the tenderness. "As you can see, besides this man, there may be another Zhang San and Li Si. As long as I don't get married, my grandfather will not give up, and I..." Can't refuse. Yes, Jin Xi can't escape from her grandfather's control. She may be able to have a short and willful temper, but she can't tell her grandfather that she likes Ren Qiao'an and she wants to be with Ren Qiao'an.
Because the person she likes is a girl!
Jin Xi didn't finish her words, but Ren Qiao'an understood what she meant. On one side was a stubborn elder, the person who loved her most, and on the other was her girlfriend, a naive love affair. Besides, Jin Xi's grandfather was in poor health, and Jin Xi loved him dearly. Which was more important? If it were Ren Qiao'an, she would make the same choice.
"It's okay, I understand." Ren Qiao'an could only offer pale comfort, comforting Jin Xi and also comforting himself.
"Ren Qiao'an." Jin Xi suddenly raised her head, her eyes red and tears in her eyes, and asked, "Will you believe me and wait for me?"
Jinxi knew that her past "bad" behavior would make it difficult for Ren Qiao'an to trust her, but after this conflict, Jinxi deeply understood the importance of this relationship and how precious it was to both of them. If it were Ren Qiao'an, Jinxi would change and work hard for this relationship.
"..." Ren Qiaoan was also filled with confusion and bewilderment about the future. Even if they were willing to believe at this moment, they were still too young. For some things, some facts, just liking them was far from enough.
"Yes, we will work hard together." But Ren Qiao'an will not give up first as long as Jin Xi is still willing.

The author has something to say:
Regret is a bookmark of youth
Stuck on the most painful page
That summer is like the fallen leaves in autumn
Pretending to be brilliant and not afraid of separation
A heavy rain soaked the whole world
Everything that passes away
It's because I haven't had time to learn to be brave yet
Let you go away alone
How I wish it could be like yesterday
Let youth be absurd
Don't be sad anymore
