C3265 Love That Ends Without a Disease
Xie Jingzhen didn't know how he got out of the alley.
When she saw the cars and lights on the street, she seemed to have broken free from a nightmare. She panted heavily and stood blankly on the street.
An Tong called again. Xie Jingzhen only answered after a long while.
"Jingzhen, why aren't you here yet? Are you lost? Send me your location and I'll come and pick you up."
Xie ___ tried his best to control his trembling voice. "I... I'm not going."
However, An Tong said, "I see you! Why are you standing by the road? Wait for me!"
An Tong hung up the phone and quickly ran from the opposite side of the street to Xie Jingzhen's side. When she got closer, she saw her pale face and asked nervously, "What's wrong, Jingzhen?"
Xie Jingzhen could not say a word now.
Her heart was beating violently. Her mind was blank and chaotic. She could not calm down at all.
"I, I'm a little tired. I won't eat anymore. You don't have to worry about me."
An Tong looked at the alley behind Xie Jingzhen and felt that something was not right. She thought that she had been walking around for too long and was too tired. So she said, "I'll go and pack some food. Wait for me here."
Half an hour later, Xie Jingzhen was brought home by An Tong.
An Tong's house was very quiet. She poured Xie Jingzhen a glass of water and asked, "Are you alright? Your complexion doesn't look good."
"No." Xie Jingzhen gently held the cup, her thoughts wandering.
Previously, she did not know the reason why Nan Xingchuan concealed his identity and thought of all kinds of possibilities and difficulties for him, but she never thought that he was actually the kind of person she had always been afraid of the most.
Uncle, who had been so trusting, dependent, and respectful, suddenly became the big brother who roamed the grey world.
There might not be anything more ironic than this in the world.
Xie Jingzhen slowly replayed the few times she and "Brother Yan" had only met a few times, but her impression of him had already blurred.
She only remembered that the first time they met was in the KTV.
He blocked that arm for her.
She saw him feed people glass slag again, and from then on, she was afraid of him.
Xie Jingxuan had never thought that her life would have such a connection with Nanxing Chuan at such a juncture.
Was that their beginning?
But she didn't notice it at all.
As long as she closed her eyes, Xie Jingzhen would think of the violent and bloody scene of Nanxing Chuan fighting with people in the alley. Every frame was filled with hostility, impacting the life that she had just started when she was 18 years old.
That was a world she had never been to, and she had never been willing to step into.
The heavens had arranged for her to discover the lie, so why did she have to see the real him with her own eyes?
That person she had relied on, could it be that he had always been pretending?
Xie Jingzhen's heart seemed to have been torn apart, piece by piece. She didn't dare to think about it anymore. She didn't dare to overlap the Nanxing Chuan she knew with the Nanxing Chuan she saw tonight. The more she thought about it, the more flaws appeared.
The time when An Tong brought the Fungus Tang Pot over, there had actually been some clues.
When he mentioned Brother Yan back then, he choked unnaturally. It was just that everyone thought that he had been careless.1
Thinking of the topic of conversation that time, Xie Jingzhen suddenly remembered what An Tong had said that day -
"There shouldn't be too many people who want to be Brother Yan's girlfriend."
"How is it possible that Big Brother doesn't have a woman."
"News has spread throughout the entire city. Brother Yan pressed the second son of the Zhao family on the rooftop for his new girlfriend."
Thinking of this, Xie Jingzhen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. The woman he saw that afternoon suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
When Nan Xingchuan was standing with that woman, they were a perfect match.
She should be his girlfriend, right?
Xie Jingzhen's eyes heated up, and countless grievances and sadness surged up.
At this moment, she couldn't tell whether it was tonight's matter or the fact that he had a girlfriend, which made her feel even more sad.
The corners of Xie Jingzhen's eyes turned red. At this moment, she finally saw her feelings for Nan Xingchuan clearly.
It was not just respect for the elders.
Perhaps... there was also... love.
That was why he subconsciously did not want An Tong to chase after Nanxing Chuan. When she saw him with another woman, she would feel sad...
Xie Jingzhen smiled bitterly, and her eyes turned red.
She realized it too late.
What about Nanxing Chuan? He only treated her as a junior who was being taken care of.
This love was destined to end without a cause.
Furthermore, his identity also meant that they would not be together...
An Tong could tell that something was wrong with her emotions. She did not know what to do and comforted her. "What exactly happened, Xiao Zhen? Don't not say anything. Don't scare me."
Xie Zhen forced a smile. "It's nothing."
She drank some water. After a long while, she said softly, "Tell me about that Brother Yan."
An Tong was a little confused. "Why did you suddenly ask him?"
But soon, An Tong thought again. It might be that Xie Jingzhen was unhappy about something and wanted her to talk about something to distract her.
Hence, she immediately agreed. "Okay, okay. What do you want to hear?"
Xie Jingzhen knew nothing about the real Nanxing Chuan.
"Whatever. Anything is fine."
An Tong started to talk about the story of Nanxing Chuan.
