Nanyuan
On the white European-style princess bed, a girl in a red dress lay quietly, with delicate makeup on her pretty face. People who didn't know her would think she was just asleep.
Ji Chengzhou sat down beside the bed, lowering his head to kiss the girl's eyes and lips. A tear fell on Lu Nanying's face. Unbeknownst to him, a faint shadow was following him. Yes, it was Lu Nanying. Her spirit had been following her ever since Ji Chengzhou brought her body back. She watched as the usually condescending man cleansed her body, dressed her in her favorite red dress, and applied her makeup, each step without a second thought. Finally, he dressed himself in his usual suit and tie.
Lu Nanying's soul lay on Ji Chengzhou's back and patted him gently, "Brother Chengzhou, Yingying is here, don't be like this, Yingying is so sad." Unfortunately, he could no longer hear.
Ji Chengzhou pulled a sapphire velvet box from his bedside table. Inside was a ruby ring. Everyone in Beijing knew that Lu Nanying, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, loved red, a color that befitted her unruly personality. He placed the ring on the girl's left middle finger, as it was closest to her heart. He bent down and kissed her hand, whispering, "Wait for me, baby! Don't be afraid. Brother Chengzhou will be right there with you."
Lu Nanying's mind buzzed. What was he going to do? She desperately called out, "Ji Chengzhou, what are you doing?" No matter how she shouted, no one heard her. As if sensing something, Ji Chengzhou glanced at her. Then he picked up the phone on the table, sent a message, and turned it off.
He walked over and lay down beside Lu Nanying. He took out a dagger from the drawer, tightly grasped the girl's hand with one hand, and without hesitation, plunged the dagger into his heart. He smiled. He chose to die the same way as her. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes: "So, my baby was in so much pain at that time."
He slowly closed his eyes. "Lu Nanying" squatted on the ground and cried bitterly. She cried until her whole soul trembled, and her voice became fainter and fainter.
The door was slammed open. It was Ji Chengzhou's trusted confidant, Ji Feng. He had followed Ji Chengzhou's instructions to dispose of Cheng Suyu and Yang Yunze. He received a text message from Ji Chengzhou, asking him to bury him and Lu Nanying in the Platycodon Garden behind Nanyuan. He drove frantically to Nanyuan, but it was too late.
Looking at the two people on the bed holding hands and smiling, he knelt down beside the bed and choked up, "Master, don't worry, I will do what you told me to do. You are finally together with Miss Lu, you must be very happy."
Three days later, Ji Feng not only buried the two in the Platycodon Garden in Nanyuan, but also held a grand funeral for them. Almost all the prominent families in Beijing came. The soul of "Lu Nanying" floated to the tombstones of the two and watched her friends around her crying uncontrollably. The people of the four major families have always been good friends and grew up together. The Ji family, the Lu family, the Jiang family, the Gu family, and even her mother's family, the Ye family in Hai City, everyone came.
Just as she approached the tombstone and reached out to touch the photo of the man on it, a powerful force pulled her into the photo. Before she could react, she disappeared.
In the French light luxury style room, the girl lying on the pink princess bed was sweating profusely, as if she had dreamed of something scary. Her face was the size of a palm, and her facial features were so soft that there was no flaw. As the girl frowned slightly, she looked pitiful.
"No, Ji Chengzhou, no, no," the girl muttered softly. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sat up to breathe deeply. After sitting quietly for a few minutes, she came to her senses. Tears fell like a curtain of rain, dripping from her chin onto her pajamas. She said in a trembling voice, "I'm dead, aren't I? Ji Chengzhou, why are you so stupid? Am I worth it?"
There was a buzzing sound on the table, and the vibration of an incoming call on the phone broke the silence in the room. Lu Nanying raised her hand to wipe away her tears, looked at the caller, and suddenly saw the time: September 16, 2022, which was two months before her death. Her beautiful almond eyes moved slightly: "I, I am reborn?"
She flung back the covers, walked around the room, and then to her dressing table. She looked in the mirror. She saw no scars, her skin smooth as cream, her lips rosy, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure. She walked to the balcony and looked out at the golden sunflowers in the garden below. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and weep. This was her home, her mother's favorite sunflowers. I'm home.
The phone on the bed vibrated again. Lu Nanying walked over to pick it up and looked at the caller ID. "Jiujiu," the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She, Gu Jiujiu, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and Jiang He, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, had grown up together and had been close friends since childhood. But at some point, the relationship between the three of them had changed. They were constantly arguing and hurling insults at each other whenever they met. Perhaps it was from the time she met Cheng Suyu.
Lu Nanying pressed the answer button and gently put the phone to her ear. Before she could say anything, the girl's nervous voice came from the phone: "Yingying, are you okay? I heard that you fell into the sea, and everyone was worried."
Before Gu Jiujiu's voice had even stopped, Jiang He's furious curses could be heard again. "It must be that bitch Cheng Suyu. I've already told you she has bad intentions. She's pretending to be a pure and innocent girl. And that Yang Yunze, what's so good about him? He's average looking but thinks he's beautiful. He even wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but he's not worthy. He doesn't even look at his own background. He's the illegitimate child of the Yang family. If it weren't for the Yang family's wife's generosity, he wouldn't even know he's in that corner."
Lu Nanying was amused and chuckled, and the other party's voice softened.
Jiang He spoke nonchalantly, teasing, "He's not even as good as Brother Chengzhou. I don't know what you like about him. He's just a gigolo. Brother Chengzhou is handsome, rich, and powerful, and the Ji family is the largest family. We grew up together and know each other well. I think it's good for her to fall into the water to wake her up."
Listening to the words that sounded like mockery but also revealed concern, Lu Nanying finally couldn't help but whimpered softly. The two people on the other end of the phone sat up straight when they heard the sound, and were at a loss like children who had done something wrong.
