"Ni Sitian, are you still going to lie to me?" Xu Tingchuan's voice turned cold.
Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian immediately became obedient, looked up at him pitifully, and confessed, "It only reached my butt."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tingchuan frowned, sat on the bed, and pulled her to lie on his lap.
Seeing that he was about to pull down her pants, Ni Sitian quickly grabbed them, saying, "No, it's not that serious."
"Let go," Xu Tingchuan said coldly.
Ni Sitian had just made a mistake and was intimidated by Xu Tingchuan. When he spoke so coldly, she let go of her pants, but couldn't help saying, "It's really not that serious."
Ignoring her words, Xu Tingchuan pulled down her pants and lifted her shirt a little.
Seeing the bruises on her tailbone and lower back, he frowned even more. "You lied to me again. What happened to your back?"
Although it was just a check-up for her injuries, being pulled open like this left Ni Sitian utterly embarrassed. She had no energy left to think and honestly confessed, "I'm not lying to you, I bumped my back after I got home."
Xu Tingchuan recalled Ni Sitian's cry of pain in the entryway earlier, so he must have caused her lower back injury?
"It only hurts a little, it's nothing." Seeing that he wasn't moving, Ni Sitian quickly pulled up her pants and got off his lap.
"I'm sorry." Xu Tingchuan pulled her into his arms. He had been so frightened that he had lost control of his emotions. He shouldn't have pushed her. He murmured repeatedly, "I'm sorry."
Ni Sitian shook her head repeatedly, then hugged him back. Knowing he felt guilty, she kept saying, "It doesn't hurt."
Xu Tingchuan inhaled deeply the scent emanating from Ni Sitian. "I was terrified when I saw that scene."
"I know, I won't do it again." Ni Sitian sniffed and solemnly promised.
Xu Tingchuan remained silent for a long time before finally releasing her, patting her head, and standing up to walk outside.
A minute later, he came in with two pain relief patches and told Ni Sitian to take off her pants and lie face down again.
"I don't need this, it'll be fine in a couple of days." Ni Sitian felt so embarrassed. Seeing that Xu Tingchuan's expression was insistent, she had no choice but to lie down.
Xu Tingchuan carefully applied the pain relief patch to her and told her to lie face down and not move.
Ni Sitian felt both helpless and warm; her minor ailments seemed to be huge problems in this man's eyes.
"Ni Sitian, please don't let anything like this that scares me so much happen again." Xu Tingchuan hugged her, pressing her ear against her heart.
She could clearly hear his heartbeat, as if telling her that the impact of that scene had not yet completely subsided.
"I'm sorry," Ni Sitian said earnestly, her cheek brushing against his chest, her voice filled with remorse.
Xu Tingchuan stroked her long hair; only when she rested her head on his chest like this could his heart slowly calm down.
The two embraced each other quietly, fully embracing each other's presence.
Five days later, Li Shaoan's funeral was held at Qinghua Mountain.
Xu Tingchuan accompanied Ni Sitian to see Li Shaoan off on his final journey.
So much love, hate, and passion, in the end, all that's left is a pile of yellow earth and a tombstone.
After the funeral, Ni Sitian stayed with Ni Tianzhen for several days, and only felt relieved when she saw Ni Tianzhen gradually recover.
In late March, Ni Tianzhen decided to return to France to continue her studies, which she had not yet completed.
The first time I went abroad was to escape the shadow of a failed marriage; the second time was to escape the heartache of losing my loved one.
After watching her board the plane, Ni Sitian sighed deeply and subconsciously hugged Xu Tingchuan tightly beside her.
