Zhu Lingling looked at the closed bedroom door and spoke in a low voice:
"The young lady's insomnia has never been cured. There is nothing we can do!"
"What is insomnia?" This was the first time Bai Xingtang heard such a strange thing.
——
"Lan Xi, come out quickly!"
After Shi Tinghan stole the key, Lan Xi, who was in solitary confinement, stayed where she was. She didn't know how long she had been locked up, and just stared at Shi Tinghan in a daze.
Shi Tinghan was already nervous. Seeing Lan Xi looking at him stupidly, he didn't bother to explain and rushed over to carry her on his back.
Just like that, Lan Xi was carried away from the Lan family by Shi Tinghan!
It was summer and the sun was setting in the west. Shi Tinghan was very strong and continued to run fast with Lan Xi on his back. The wind blew on Lan Xi's face, making her feel dazed.
Looking back at the Lan family mansion that was getting farther and farther away from her, she felt her breathing begin to become smoother.
"Huff, huff, huff..." Lan Xi's sudden panting made Shi Tinghan laugh:
"I'm running, why are you panting?"
Lan Xi didn't say anything. She was like a dying fish that came into contact with water, greedily enjoying the air gradually filling her chest.
The Shi family was just next door, and Shi Tinghan ran very fast and arrived in a few steps.
He put Lan Xi down and looked at her nervously: "Are you okay?"
Lan Xi took another deep breath and slowly calmed down. Her temperament had changed drastically since her birthday:
"What time is it?"
Shi Tinghan was stunned and glanced at his watch: "6 o'clock!"
As he moved, the smell of laundry detergent on Shi Tinghan reached Lan Xi's nose. It was the smell of chrysanthemums.
Lan Xi nodded like a grown-up and pointed to Shi Tinghan's room upstairs:
"I want to go to your room and take a nap. Can you wake me up at 8?"
Shi Tinghan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and reached out to hold her hand.
The two kids went upstairs. Shi Tinghan was doing homework at the bedside while Lan Xi was sleeping.
He looked back from time to time and saw Lan Xi curled up in a blanket, a small ball, looking extremely pitiful.
——
"From that day on, the young lady couldn't sleep without Mr. Shi. At first, the gifts Mr. Shi gave her were helpful, but later on, she gradually needed Mr. Shi's presence to fall asleep."
As Zhu Lingling spoke, the heartache in her eyes was about to overflow.
Everyone was silent, and Jiang Xing suddenly said:
"Why don't these two get married? Aren't the Shi and Lan families on good terms?"
Everyone looked at Zhu Lingling, with the same question on their faces. Zhu Lingling didn't really understand, but she just said according to her understanding and observation:
"The young lady has always been indifferent to Mr. Shi, especially after high school. During those years when the young lady was most dependent on Mr. Shi, the Shi family repeatedly proposed marriage but was rejected."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Xiangnan:
"When she was 14, she realized the situation was getting out of control, so she asked the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills. The two of them never had close contact again, and she began to deliberately avoid Mr. Shi."
Zhu Lingling suddenly spoke to Qin Xiangnan like this, leaving everyone stunned.
Qin Xiangnan looked at everyone and then at himself, and asked strangely, "Why are you looking at me and saying this?"
Zhu Lingling retracted her gaze and looked down at the dishes in front of her:
"I'm just worried that it will affect your future relationship."
At this moment, everyone's eyes became ambiguous, and Bai Xingtang even said in a teasing tone:
"Sister Nan~you~"
Qin Xiangnan put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "There's nothing between us, don't make blind guesses!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhu Lingling. Seeing her pick up her chopsticks to eat again, she couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you trust Lan Xi so much?"
Zhu Lingling stopped chewing the food, glanced at Qin Xiangnan, swallowed the food, and then said:
"You'll know later!"
"Hey! I have a question. Lan Xi's situation can't be solved by seeing a psychologist?"
Jiang Xing gestured. As she grew up abroad, she felt that seeing a psychologist was particularly normal.
This time, it was not Zhu Lingling who spoke, but Bai Yun. Her face was not very happy, mainly because she did not expect that Lan Xi would be forced into this state by Li Yulan:
"It looks like she tried to save herself!"
Zhu Lingling nodded, her face not looking very good:
"Over the years, the only psychiatrist who could compete with Miss was Dr. Liang. The rest of the psychiatrists were either diagnosed with problems by Miss or were outmaneuvered by her when they weren't paying attention."
"How do you know all this?" Jiang Xing was a little curious: "Haven't you only been with Lan Xi for three years?"
At this point, Zhu Lingling became unnatural and pinched her fingers again and again.
Jiang Xing looked a little anxious and said anxiously:
"You... why are you stuck in the middle of your sentence? Lan Xi isn't here, so just continue!"
"Miss, you don't know I know this. I secretly asked the old man about it!"
Zhu Lingling lowered her voice. She suddenly realized that she shouldn't tell them about this.
"Since the old man knew about it, why didn't he do anything about it?"
Bai Yun's face had turned cold, and she began to be glad that Xingtang did not grow up in the Lan family.
Zhu Lingling sighed:
"There's nothing I can do. Mr. Lan did something like that, and the Lan family was already short of breath. Later, the old man talked to the young lady, but she refused and said she would not go no matter what. The old man gave up!"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. They had originally thought that Lan Xi's bad temper was due to her mischievous nature and that she loved to play tricks on others...
Seeing that everyone shared a common feeling of pity for Lan Xi's misfortune, Zhu Lingling loosened her clenched fists.
She looked towards the bedroom. It's okay! It's going to be okay! Everything is going to be okay!
