Chapter 116: A sense of security

Xiao Nan's hometown, 250 kilometers away from Z City, a community built to house teachers' families, there is still a light in a window of a unit building, through the gap in the curtains that are not completely tightened, you can see that there is a bedroom with light beige walls, the furnishings of this bedroom are relatively simple, a spacious and comfortable double bed, a large cabinet that is deliberately integrated with the wall at the time of decoration, a computer desk and a dresser, and that's it.

Just like the bedroom of common newlyweds, there is a large half-length wedding photo hanging on the head of the double bed, the bride in the snow-white wedding dress has a sweet smile and happiness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and the groom in a white tuxedo is heroic and full of spring breeze, it is Xiao Nan's brother and sister-in-law Cheng Xiaosong and An An.

If there is anything unusual about this bedroom, it is about a pair of ornately decorated brackets installed on the wall opposite the big bed, on which there are two long knives on one long and one short, these two knives look like Japanese knives, and they are also long two-handed handles, simple and simple knife scabbards, the only difference with Japanese knives is that the blades of these two knives do not have the arc of Japanese knives, but straight blades throughout. Obviously, these are two Tang knives, the ancestors of all Japanese knives in the world, the short one is similar to the length of the Japanese knife, the long one is much longer, the blade plus the handle of more than half a meter long is close to three meters in length, if it is not an extraordinary person, not to mention holding this knife to charge, it is to be tired and panting for a while, this is the invincible Tang Mo knife that was rampant in the battlefield in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it is the family heirloom of the old Cheng family.

The time was already nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Cheng Xiaosong and An An Xiao had not slept yet, it was originally Xiao Song's turn to use the desktop computer today, but An An was quite unreasonable to occupy the computer desk to play her favorite Warcraft battle, poor Cheng Xiaosong couldn't rob his wife, so he had to lean cross-legged on the bedside and use his laptop to watch the forum online.

An An's role in World of Warcraft is a tall and burly male minotaur, who is acting as the MT of a team at the moment, holding a shield and rushing on the way to the temple, seeing that he is about to approach the gate of the temple, suddenly the mobile phone at the table rings. An An kept scanning the screen of the mobile phone with both hands and only used the corner of his eye to scan the screen of the phone, and the big headpost of the incoming call on the screen showed the youthful face of Cheng Xiaonan when he was a boy.

This kid rarely calls himself, but if he calls so late today, shouldn't he be in a hurry?" "Komatsu, come and push WMM for me, I want to answer the phone!"

"Yo, whose phone is so big that I can't even care about the boss?"

"Hey, who else could it be, your second girl......" An An said as she picked up the phone and gave way to the computer chair. "Hurry up, the phone has been ringing for a long time!"

"Okay!" Xiao Song couldn't wait for his wife to give him a place, dropped his laptop and crawled over to take the keyboard and mouse from An An's hand, and rushed into the Viper Temple with his wife's little brother. An An sat on the edge of the bed behind Komatsu and connected the phone......

"Hey, Sister-in-law An'......" Xiao Nan on the other side of the phone said apologetically: "I don't know if it affects you and my brother to rest at such a late hour......"

"Haha, it's my sister-in-law, I just said that I haven't seen you call for so long, and I thought you forgot your brother and sister-in-law! We usually sleep late, do you want me to call Komatsu to answer the phone?"

"Don't! Don't call him!" Xiao Nan panicked when he heard it: "I want to talk to my sister-in-law about something, my brother is stupid, I don't want to tell him......"

"Oh...... I heard our mother tell me a few days ago...... An An deliberately lowered her voice: "I heard that you came to that, are you a little anemic, are you dizzy?"

Xiao Nan's face burned suddenly, but fortunately, no one could see it over the phone, so she had to beg: "Sister-in-law, don't let your father and my brother know about this kind of thing, otherwise I won't have the face to go home in the future......"

"Cut, whose daughter is not like this, are you afraid of hair?" An An's very disdainful tone scared Xiao Nan even more, but fortunately, she changed her words and said: "Okay, this kind of girl's thing, no one has enough to say to them, you can put a hundred hearts!"

"Oh......" Xiao Nan's hanging heart fell into his stomach and let out a long breath. How can that kind of thing let them know!

"What, what's the matter you don't want me to know?" Xiao Song, who had already begun to carry the boss, suddenly turned his head: "You have to tell me behind my back, Xiao Nan is still my own brother......" An An gently slapped him on the head: "Get out, my sister-in-law is talking to my sister-in-law about some girls' private things, you guys get away!"

"Cut...... Who rarely listens to it, what can a woman say, it's nothing more than clothes, shoes and cosmetics, or it's the owner's Li family's short gossip, boring ......" Xiao Song said and turned his head back to continue playing with his magical beast, but secretly pricked up his ears to listen to the phone behind him. How did An An take precautions, and hid far away from the bedside with his mobile phone.

"You don't usually call, you must have something to find your sister-in-law today, right, otherwise you would definitely call your brother's phone. ”

"Well......" Xiao Nan paused for a moment and sighed softly, then said: "I have some things that I can't figure out, I want to tell you to help me sort out my thoughts, my brain is going to be messy now......"

"Oh, our second girl will be like this? This is not like you, isn't it, an emotional problem?

"Hmm......" Xiao Nan nodded, her voice as small as a mosquito humming.

"Ha, trapped by love, this is like a girl!" An An smiled slightly: "Actually, I, your brother and our mother have been worrying about you all the time, we all remember that you have a little girlfriend who has been dating for more than a year, and your accident this time is also because of her, you must have something to do with her when you called today, right?

"It's Qiao Yuting...... Sister-in-law, I'm so confused now, I really don't know what to do in the future......" Xiao Nan's originally slender and pure voice on the phone became a little hoarse, and just listening to the voice, I could imagine her little face that was about to cry aggrievedly.

"Okay, second girl, don't be so fragile! After all, you used to be a boy, right, be strong, and talk about things with your sister-in-law......

"Hmm......" Xiao Nan took the initiative to adjust the somewhat disordered breathing rhythm, forcibly suppressed her turbulent and chaotic thoughts, and used as concise words as possible to tell her sister-in-law in detail about the things between her and Xiao Ting, Huzi, and Xia Longfei after her transformation. “…… That's it...... Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do......"

"I understand...... An An couldn't help but sigh softly after listening to Xiao Nan's story: "I didn't expect you to be a lover like this kid...... Okay, sister-in-law will help you analyze, first and foremost, is to deal with the relationship between you and Xiaoting, sister-in-law asks you, what do you plan to do?"

"I ...... How to say it, as soon as I talk about this problem, I now feel that my whole person is going to be schizophrenic, when I am lying in bed at home, I think that I am no longer a boy, I and Xiaoting are destined to have no future, I should decisively cut her off, long pain is better than short pain, Xiaoting has no burden to start a new relationship, but as soon as I am with her, see her face, hear her voice, I can't say anything, I will think I don't care about this, the two of us are like this, there is no future or anything to go to him, to be together for a day is a day……”

These words, which have been suffocating in Xiao Nan's heart for a long time, finally have the opportunity to tell others today, Xiao Nan finished in one breath like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. "Sister-in-law, do you think I'm too selfish, I sometimes blame myself, I think I've been with Xiaoting like this will delay her youth, but I'm really reluctant to part with her......"

An An also sighed softly on the other side of the phone: "Xiao Nan, sister-in-law can understand your feelings, I know, you love your little girlfriend very much, love has always been selfish, so you are reluctant to part with her, I understand." Here, my sister-in-law wants to ask you, you have been a girl for so long, do you treat yourself as a boy or a girl in your heart?"

Xiao Nan hesitated slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what I am now, but if I can choose, I would rather be a boy, after all, I have been a boy for twenty-two years, and I am used to ......it."

"Well, that's true. But Xiao Nan, if deep in your heart, you still remember that you were once a boy, you should know that for boys, they are destined to bear more responsibilities than girls, loving someone is not only about possessing her body and spirit, but more importantly, you have to give her a happy future, here my sister-in-law asks you, with you now, can you hold her hand and let her wear a wedding dress into the palace of marriage, accept the blessings of her parents and friends, and give her a happy future?"

After listening to An An's words, Xiao Nan didn't speak again for a long time, An An could only hear Xiao Nan's breathing on the other side of the phone, sometimes rapid and sometimes steady, thinking that her heart must be fighting against heaven and man on this issue.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Nan said in a hoarse voice: "If it was me when I was a boy before, I believe I would be able to do this, although her parents think I am poor, but I believe that through hard work, five years, at most ten years, I will definitely break out of my own small world in Z City, let Xiaoting follow me to live a happy life, we will have a son and a daughter, and we will become an old man and an old lady hand in hand...... But now ......"

Xiao Nan's words didn't finish and seemed to be choked in her throat, she paused for a while, and waited until her emotions calmed down a little before continuing: "I have become like this now, all this is impossible to achieve, even if I create my own career through hard work, but it is absolutely impossible for any normal nervous parents to accept a woman as their son-in-law, holding Xiao Ting's hand and walking into the marriage hall together to accept the blessings of my parents, relatives and friends, it is a dream that can never be realized for me......"

"Xiao Nan, it seems that you have thought about this issue very thoroughly, you actually know what to do, but you are reluctant, right?"

"Hmm......" Xiao Nan let out another long sigh: "The thought of separating from Xiao Ting is like cutting my heart with a knife...... Maybe I'm just a selfish villain......"

"Silly boy...... , you are not such a person, sister-in-law knows, we all know. You love her deeply, so you want to let go and let her find her own happiness, it is also because you love her deeply, so you are reluctant to let go, because you can't bear the separation, your reason wants to let go of the emotional and reluctant, so you are entangled, you are miserable, you don't know what to do......"

"Sister-in-law......" An An's words were the most vulnerable part of Xiao Nan's heart unbiasedly, and Xiao Nan, who had been emotionally sensitive in the past few days, suddenly covered with a layer of mist in his eyes.

"Xiao Nan, in this way, you are actually sober in your heart, but no one can compete for the dominance of the rationality and sensibility in your heart in this entanglement, so you can't make any decisions for a long time, so that you and your little girlfriend can only mix up like this, and you don't know what the future of the two of you will look like. An An was afraid that her words would touch Xiao Nan's sensitive emotions and make her out of control, so she tried her best to make her tone sound calm and gentle, clearly treating Xiao Nan as her sister-in-law.

"Xiao Nan, you have to know that girls often have an insecure instinct for their feelings, think about it, even if they are men and women in love, girls often ask boys whether they love her or not, this seemingly boring question, sometimes even if you ask it ten thousand times a day, it is not annoying, this is a subconscious move for girls to ensure their sense of security. I think, it is likely that some of your recent changes have made Xiaoting feel something, even if she loves you as much as you love her, but the various changes since your transformation have triggered this instinct in her subconscious, she did this this time, maybe just to force you to show her attitude, she may just want your words, a clear promise...... In the end, it's just a girl's instinct to ensure her fragile sense of security......"
