"I'm fine." Shi Di smiled and stood there looking at her, "Qianchu said that sister is willing to accept the property he returned. Even if she doesn't forgive him, she is willing to make him feel better. Sister, you have always been kind."
Kind.
These two words were too heavy for her to bear.
"I'm not as good as you said. Those properties belong to the Xi family and he is willing to return them. I have no reason to not want them."
Shi Xiaonian said coldly, putting his hands in his pockets and turning away, not looking at Shi Di's eyes that were shining with joy.
"Sister, we're all here, go in and see him."
Shi Di said.
"He and I have nothing to talk about." Shi Xiaonian said. In fact, she no longer knew what to talk to Mu Qianchu, whether to talk about the death of her parents or about his blindness.
"No need to talk, he doesn't know that I brought him out today for you to meet." Shi Di stood aside and said.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Shi Di in confusion, "I don't understand what you want to do."
Mu Qianchu didn't know she had arrived at this cafe
Shi Di lowered his head and his eyes dimmed, "Sister, actually he doesn't want you to see what he looks like now. He feels that he has no qualifications to stand in front of you."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes in silence.
"But I know that Qianchu has been thinking about you these past four years, so I want to ask you to meet him, just for a brief moment." Shi Di looked at her and said, "Okay, sister, just take a look. enough."
"Does it make sense?"
Shi Xiaonian asked back, she had too much involvement with them.
"Yes." Shi Di nodded vigorously, "For me, yes, I helped Qianchu, didn't I? I really want to help him, sister."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Shi Di and stood there silently without making a sound.
"Come on, sister, come with me."
When Shi Di saw that Shi Xiaonian didn't refuse strongly, he pulled her inside.
Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Di's feet. That shot made Shi Di still unable to walk with a slight limp.
As soon as he entered the cafe, Shi Xiaonian was pulled all the way in by Shi Di and walked to the door of a private room.
Shi Di glanced at her, then walked into the box and opened the door there.
Shi Xiaonian stood there with her eyes slightly lowered. After a few seconds, she put her hands in her pockets and walked forward little by little. Her footsteps were silent and she raised her eyes.
It was like a reunion after a century.
In the clean and tidy box, Mu Qianchu sat on the single sofa next to the table. His clothes were well taken care of and there was no dust at all. He sat there with a pair of narrow eyes half-closed, a feminine outline, a straight nose, and lips. Sipping, one hand slowly touched the coffee cup on the table, shook it in the air a few times, grabbed the handle of the cup, and almost threw the cup down.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover her lips, her eyes were red.
He went blind again.
She recalled that when he was young, he was always depressed and could stay alone in one place for half a day.
"I'll do it, Qianchu." Shi Di rushed over, handed him the coffee cup, and put it into his hand.
Mu Qianchu sat there, with a look of loneliness on his face. He held the coffee cup with his slender fingers and asked in a low voice, "Where have you been? It's very chaotic outside now, so don't run around."
"It's safe here in the cafe. The police station is next door." Shi Di sat down next to him and tilted his head to look at him, "Thank you for caring about me, Qianchu."
Mu Qianchu took a sip of coffee. This action was carefully interpreted. He slowly lifted the cup up to his lips.
"I told you that life would be better if you left me." After taking a sip of coffee, Mu Qianchu lowered his voice and said in a low voice. There was no ups and downs in his voice, but it still conveyed a sense of loneliness.
Shi Di sat next to him, raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Xiaonian standing at the door, and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to leave, I know you don't like me, it's okay if you let me be your friend, girl Whether it’s a servant, I’m willing to do it.”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at the two of them quietly, as if watching their four years.
"You know, I have actually lived a very fulfilling and satisfying life in the past four years." Shi Di was speaking to Mu Qianchu, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Shi Xiaonian, "I used to be jealous of my sister. I want to possess you, so as long as I can possess you, I don’t care what means I use.”
“…”
Mu Qianchu sat silently and said nothing.
"Now that I think about it, I was really annoying back then, and I almost made you seriously ill." Shi Di said, her voice choked up, but she still smiled, "Now I can stay with you and take care of you like my sister before. When I look at you, I feel very at ease."
Mu Qianchu remained silent.
Just like Shi Xiaonian, you never know how to give if you can't give an answer. If you give, you're afraid of being hurt; if you don't give, you're afraid of being hurt.
The person who loves deeply is always destined to be hurt.
Shi Xiaonian looked at them quietly. Mu Qianchu had also lost weight. She still remembered that four years ago, Mu Qianchu got everything he wanted and was so high-spirited.
In fact, it wouldn't be easy for him with the Xi family's property and power.
That game back then was completely designed for her, but they all lost miserably.
"That's right." Shi Di pretended to be relaxed, "Sister has already come here to complete the formalities. It seems that there is a nearby law firm. Do you want to have a look? What if there is a formality that requires you to come forward in person?"
"The lawyer will contact me."
Mu Qianchu held the coffee cup and carefully put it back on the table.
"Don't you want to see sister? We are leaving here soon."
"Why are you talking so much today?" Mu Qianchu realized something was wrong and frowned slightly, "You didn't do something behind my back, did you?"
"No." Shi Di quickly denied, "I didn't do anything."
"Go order something."
Mu Qianchu said.
"Okay." Shi Di nodded obediently, stood up and left. When he passed by Shi Xiaonian, Shi Di took a deep look at her.
Shi Xiaonian wanted to leave just like that, but her feet couldn't move.
She looked at Mu Qianchu in the box, whom she had not seen for four years.
Mu Qianchu sat there alone. After a while, he stood up from the sofa, touched the edge of the sofa with his fingers and walked forward. His eyes were half-closed, the eyelashes were very long, and there was no luster in his eyes.
Several times, he was almost knocked down.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at him without making any move.
Mu Qianchu walked slowly and slowly, touching the wall and cabinets. When he reached the bathroom door, he pushed it open and walked in.
after a while.
The bathroom door was opened.
Shi Xiaonian watched Mu Qianchu walk out, his hand still touching the wall as he walked little by little.
Even walking is difficult for him.
Suddenly, Mu Qianchu stood there, his feminine face facing the direction of the door, and said doubtfully, "Shi Di, are you back?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned and couldn't even breathe.
“…”
Mu Qianchu stood and listened carefully for a while, realizing that he had misheard. Then he continued walking along the wall back to the sofa. He walked little by little, and his legs were about to get caught on the jewelry on the side.
Shi Xiaonian didn't have time to think too much, so she quickly stepped forward and helped him to prevent him from falling.
Mu Qianchu slumped forward, his eyes facing her direction, and took a shallow breath, as if he recognized that she was not Shi Di. Mu Qianchu lowered his head and said politely, "Thank you."
He is an elegant, elegant gentleman with a gentle voice that makes people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.
He looked like the murderer who would destroy the Xi family.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian retracted her hand silently. After Mu Qianchu stood firm, he also pushed her hand. As soon as his fingers touched her hand, he clenched it tightly and held her hand firmly in his hand.
Shi Xiaonian's body stiffened.
Mu Qianchu looked in her direction blankly, his eyelashes trembling fiercely, his face changed drastically, and his hand grabbed hers harder and harder.
He had severe mood swings.
Shi Xiaonian knew that he recognized her.
"It's me, Mu Qianchu."
When Shi Xiaonian spoke, her voice was a little dry.
Hearing this, Mu Qianchu immediately let go of her hand, as if he was shocked by something, and stepped back again and again, almost falling again. Shi Xiaonian subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop him again.
"Do not touch me!"
Mu Qianchu spoke with some fierce emotion, no longer as elegant as before.
She looked at him and lost her voice.
Mu Qianchu turned his face to prevent her from seeing his lifeless eyes at the moment, but he was not sure if she couldn't see him. His head kept turning this way and that, looking extremely flustered. .
Shi Xiaonian didn't expect that Mu Qianchu would be like this when she saw him again. She lowered her eyes and said, "Then I'll leave first."
If he doesn't want her to see it, then she leaves.
There is really no need for them to meet again.
When Xiao Nian walked towards the door, Mu Qianchu was still standing there, trying his best to turn his face to the side. When he heard her footsteps disappear, Mu Qianchu opened his eyes and moved his lips slightly, "The procedures are all done. What?"
Shi Xiaonian stopped and stood there with a low voice, "It's almost done."
There was a small aquarium in the box, with gurgling water constantly coming from it.
"That's good." Mu Qianchu nodded, trying to calm down, and faced her, "You... nothing's wrong."
He wanted to ask her how her past four years had been, but suddenly found that he was no longer qualified to ask.
Shi Xiaonian turned to look at him. Mu Qianchu looked very uncomfortable. He tried his best to find a place to stand, but he couldn't find it.
That was chaos that Shi Xiaonian rarely saw in him.
Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes, wanting to say something but couldn't. Shi Di walked in from outside, walking with a slight limp, "I've ordered the meal."
As soon as he came in, Shi Di was stunned for a moment when he saw Shi Xiaonian standing there. He understood that the two of them had met before, and smiled sadly, "Sister, let's sit down and have something to eat together."
"No need, the legal team I hired is still outside. Goodbye."
Shi Xiaonian said to Shi Di, turned around and walked out.
The three people who once lived under the same roof now don't even know how to talk to each other. (To be continued)
