Chapter 100 Qi Jin's head was hit
Yan Nian stopped at the independent sofa beside her. The conversation they had last time sitting here was still vivid in her mind. She walked to the side with a trembling heart and sat down on the other side of Xu Yiqing. They seemed very close, but it seemed as if there was a huge river between them.
Xu Yiqing also realized something at this moment. The question that was about to come out was suppressed in his throat and he controlled his temper.
Yan Nian said nothing, staring at the dark TV screen.
After Xu Yiqing calmed down, he tried to speak more calmly and said, "What are your plans for the future?"
Yan Nian tilted her head slightly. Xu Yiqing's tone seemed to be discussing something, but also to be asking something, as if he wanted to know something from her.
Not understanding what she meant, he asked, "What are your plans?"
After a long while, Xu Yiqing seemed to have made a great decision and asked, "What are your plans, you and Zhou Ran?"
Xu Yiqing was reluctant to hand Yan Nian over to someone else so early. To her, Yan Nian was her only one, the daughter she had carefully raised, and no one had the right to take her away from her.
Even if that day really comes, it will definitely be the person she chooses, not Yan Nian's.
However, all this happened on the contrary, contrary to our wishes.
Yan Nian has always wanted to escape from her.
Yan Nian turned her head to look at her. She didn't expect Xu Yiqing to tell her this. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
When the mother and daughter's eyes met, Yan Nian inexplicably felt a little guilty.
It stemmed from Xu Yiqing's hysteria after seeing the chat messages between her and Zhou Ran. She subconsciously wanted to hide her feelings and say "I don't have any plans", but she soon realized that she couldn't just brush it off in front of Xu Yiqing.
This should be the second time that Xu Yiqing spoke to her quietly without an oppressive look.
Yan Nian still felt the pressure.
She could have openly expressed her true thoughts and the fact that she had visited Zhou Ran's grandmother tonight, but when she saw Xu Yiqing's haggard face, Yan Nian swallowed her words.
She couldn't figure out Xu Yiqing's temper. They had many conversations before, but they always ended in a mess.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Xu Yiqing sighed softly and carefully stated her intention: "Mom just wanted to ask what your plans are, nothing else."
Upon hearing this, Yan Nian's eyes couldn't help but flutter.
Xu Yiqing: "I won't go to the north anymore. I want to stay here to take good care of you. If you have time, bring him home for dinner."
Yan Nian opened his mouth slightly, but could not utter a word.
Is this accepted?
Xu Yiqing retracted her gaze: "I don't think it was wrong to stop you from dating him that year, and I won't apologize to you for it, but I want to apologize to you for my behavior."
Xu Yiqing lowered her head and was silent for a while, then looked at her: "Niannian, I'm sorry. Mom has done a lot of things poorly. Now I understand that the reason this family has come to this point is all my fault..."
Xu Yiqing was silent again, feeling even more embarrassed to speak out.
His marriage failed, his education was a complete failure, and he always insisted on his own ideas, which made the people closest to him almost breathless.
I was almost fifty years old when I finally woke up from my dream.
This apology was too heavy. Yan Nian clenched her fingers, thinking of what Mu Chen often said to her, and said softly, "You don't have to take all the blame on yourself."
Yan Nian knew very well that the reason why she became what she is now was because of invisible indulgence and indifference.
Both she and Yan Qilin are responsible.
Xu Yiqing's eyes trembled and he was speechless for a long time.
Yan Nian lowered his head: "I know what you just said. It's not possible now. Give me some time!"
Thinking about the scene where Zhou Ran and Xu Yiqing faced each other, it still needed to be digested, but it wouldn't take too long.
Yan Nian stood up: "Go to bed early."
After saying that, Yan Nian walked towards the room, leaving Xu Yiqing alone on the sofa.
Yan Nian returned to the room, washed up, and lay down on the bed. He hadn't looked at his phone for a long time, and there were several WeChat messages stacked on it.
Zhou Ran's last message was sent fifteen minutes ago: [Asleep?]
Yan Nian replied no, staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes, his thoughts in a mess.
Xu Yiqing's words tonight did not make her afraid, but nervous.
She picked up her phone again, deleted and reduced the messages in the chat box with Zhou Ran, and finally sent nothing.
Yan Nian lifted the quilt and got up. She found the rectangular wooden box given by her grandmother in her bag and opened it.
Inside is a crescent-shaped dragon and phoenix pendant made of Hetian jade. Judging from the shape, there is another half.
This pendant is free of impurities, so clean and smooth that one cannot bear to touch it.
Yan Nian was afraid of getting it dirty, so she just touched it lightly with her index finger. The texture was very delicate and soft.
Yan Nian didn't know much about jade, but he had once seen a similar piece of mutton-fat jade at his grandmother's place. It felt as clean as baby skin. His grandmother said that this kind of mutton-fat jade was hard to come by and had great collection value.
She gently put away the precious gift and placed it in her dressing box.
The notebook lying inside had not been recorded for a long time. Yan Nian picked it up, turned to the latest page, took out a charcoal pencil and started typesetting.
First, he drew a Q-version airplane landing, and then a scene of three little people gathered around a dining table, with their eyes curved and smiles on their faces.
Yan Nian automatically raised the corners of his mouth and added three words next to it: meet the parents.
Feeling like something was missing, I added a sunny smiling face next to them and colored them separately.
The notebook has a total of one thousand and one pages, and there are exactly one hundred and one full pages left. It has been a long time since the last record.
Yan Nian closed the notebook, put it into the dressing box and locked it.
I returned to the bed and looked at my phone. Zhou Ran hadn't replied to the message yet.
Yan Nian sent another "good night" and turned off the lights to go to sleep.
The other side.
After Zhou Ran received the news that Qi Jin was attacked in the bar and sent to the hospital, he hurried to the hospital.
It was already half past twelve in the morning. The door of the private ward was ajar, and Zhou Ran pushed it open and walked in.
Qi Jin was lying on the bed playing games with gauze wrapped around his head. He glanced at the person who came, threw away his phone, pulled the quilt over his head and pretended to sleep.
In this circle, he has to do all the embarrassing and unlucky things, and he is too ashamed to face people.
Xue Jiyan was watching over him, his attention completely focused on the game. He thought it was a nurse and didn't pay attention. When he saw the little man on the screen being killed by the opponent, he said impatiently, "He got smashed."
Zhou Ran walked in and closed the door of the ward. He looked at the person on the bed, raised an eyebrow, and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
Xue Jiyan heard the voice and quickly looked up. When he looked back at the screen, it had turned gray. He tutted, turned off the screen, put the phone away, and said in a mocking tone, "I wonder which idiot gave him a bottle of wine on the head? If it was any more serious, he would probably become mentally retarded."
Qi Jin suddenly lifted the quilt from his head and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I asked you to find someone but you still haven't found him. What are you doing?"
Xue Jiyan rarely paid attention to him. He turned to Zhou Ran and said with a smile, "The key is that the man invited him to drink and then ran away."
Zhou Ran leaned closer to take a look at his head. There was nothing wrong with it. "It's quite solid."
Qi Jin turned his head with a bandage on his head: "..."
Zhou Ran asked, "Have you checked the surveillance?"
Xue Jiyan: "It's been adjusted. It's pitch black. The man is wrapped up like a pupa with a mask on. He's still looking."
Qi Jin said angrily: "If I knew which idiot it was, I would beat him so hard that he wouldn't even recognize his own mother."
Xue Jiyan asked seriously, "Did you offend anyone?"
Qi Jin spat: "Who could I possibly offend?"
Zhou Ran sat down on the sofa in the ward, took out his cell phone and tapped it casually.
Qi Jin was furious: "You came to see me without bringing any supplements."
Zhou Ran didn't raise his eyebrows: "Are you worthy?"
Qi Jin choked.
Xue Jiyan pushed his glasses and asked, "Do you think it suits you?"
Qi Jin: “…”
Zhou Ran crossed his legs and sent a message to Lao Yang in the bar.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
Qi Jin and Xue Jiyan stopped arguing.
Qi Jin lay back on the bed and covered his head with his hands.
Xue Jiyan was speechless, so he could only shout for him: "Come in."
The door of the ward was gently pushed open and a head popped out.
Xue Jiyan was surprised: "Why are you here?"
Zhou Ran raised his eyes to see who was coming, curled his lips and lowered his head to reply to the message.
Qi Jin opened his eyes under the quilt and listened to the noise.
Xu Mi carried the fruit basket and smiled awkwardly. She stood up straight, pushed open the door and came in. Seeing the bulge on the bed, she asked sheepishly, "Is he okay?"
