Chapter Seventy-Three: Just Smile
The violent shower had already moved away from the sky over Z City with the wind more than an hour ago, and it was rare that there was no smoke miasma caused by the usual motor vehicle exhaust in the sky over Z City after the rain, and the air was exceptionally transparent. The sun was about to set, reflecting half of the sky with brilliant fiery clouds.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"
A flock of pigeons soars freely in the sky, and they surround the crowded and lively urban village on the ground, and the ever-vibrant urban village flaps its wings with ease, making a pleasant pigeon whistle.
A white pigeon feather fell from behind the flock of pigeons, and it moved with the wind, fluttering and flickering, and landed on the densely packed and chaotic urban village below, where the direction of the pigeon's feather was changed several times by the air currents, and finally landed on the fourth-floor balcony of a family with open windows.
The door of the balcony is open, through this door you can directly see the small living room inside, two girls who are also slender and slender are standing face to face at the moment, the two are staring at each other's eyes, their expressions are both nervous and serious, the atmosphere in the living room seems a little dignified.
In fact, on the way back to Z City, Xiao Nan had already made up her mind countless times to tell Xiao Ting all the causes and consequences, and rehearsed the scene where she told Xiao Ting the truth in her heart I don't know how many times. Now, now, it's time for her to actually do it. Although Xiao Nan's palms were a little sweaty at the moment, she did not lose the courage to confess in the end.
ββ¦β¦ I decided to tell you the truth of the matter right now. Of course, these things may sound a little incredible and unbelievable, but please believe me, in fact, I am Cheng Xiaonan. β
Finally confessed to Xiao Ting in person! Xiao Nan felt like she was relieved after she let out a long breath, and Xiao Ting on the other side was obviously shocked by this direct confession, and her eyes widened for a long time without speaking.
There was a brief silence in the small living room, and after more than ten seconds, Xiaoting suddenly laughed with a "poof". "Hehe, you girl is really ...... You're kidding...... Is it good for Cheng Xiaonan to be a boy! If I can't even tell the difference between men and women, wouldn't these twenty-one years be in vain!" Xiao Ting pointed at Xiao Nan's little face: "Look in the mirror and look at your little face, such a messy and cute little girl, you insist that you are Cheng Xiaonan, are you a fool to be a sister! Look at you like this, you are probably still in college, how can you make up lies with no technical content at all? Hmph, in fact, even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess who you are!"
"Uh...... So what do you think...... Who am I?" Xiao Nan felt that she couldn't cry or laugh at this moment.
"You're Cheng Xiaonan's sister, aren't you!" Xiaoting put on the posture of Detective Conan: "Maybe you're not his own sister, or maybe it's his cousin or cousin." β
"For ...... Why do you think so!" Xiao Nan suddenly found that he was thinking about things too simply, it seemed that it was indeed a bit difficult to convince a person in his right mind that such a strange thing as a boy becoming a girl was indeed a bit difficult.
"Of course, I have enough evidence to support my point of view!" Xiao Ting seemed to think that the evidence was conclusive, she counted her fingers and analyzed them one by one for Xiao Nan: "First, and most importantly, you look too similar to Cheng Xiaonan, at least fifty percent of them are similar, although there are differences between men and women, but you can see at a glance that they are a family, how can they look so similar without blood relationship!" Second, you can drive a heavy locomotive, there are not many girls in the whole Z city who can drive a locomotive, not to mention a heavy locomotive, it must be taught by Xiao Nan; third, you have my phone number, and my phone number is never given to strangers, and the two of us don't know each other, that number can only be given to you by Xiao Nan;Fourth, my trip today is only known by Yun Feiyang, the two of us have never known each other, how do you know so clearly, and you also made a special trip with a generator to venture to the mountains to find me, if it wasn't for Xiao Nan to get the news behind his back, why would you want to be a good person; Fifth, the place where you live is the house that Xiao Nan rentedβ¦β¦β
Seeing Xiao Ting's reaction like this, it was not unexpected for Xiao Nan, after all, even her biological parents didn't believe in her transformation at the beginning. It seems that it is necessary to further come up with strong evidence to confirm her identity, Xiao Nan untied the handkerchief that Xiao Ting bandaged in the palm of her right hand, the wound inside had already stopped bleeding, and she turned her palm to show Xiao Ting the hideous scar that crossed the entire palm. "Look at this scar, you can't even forget this scar, right?"
Seeing the scar on Xiao Nan's palm, Xiao Ting was also stunned: "Uh, this scar...... Doesn't seem to be easy to explain. But...... This may also be an old wound that was scratched in the past, just like this time......" Having said that, it is obvious that Xiaoting also feels that her explanation is a bit far-fetched.
Seeing that Xiao Ting couldn't explain anymore, Xiao Nan sighed lightly and said faintly: "I know that even if I tell you the truth, you won't believe it, after all, this kind of thing is too much of a test of human imagination...... But that's just the way it happened......"
Xiao Nan told her how she accepted Dr. Shi's contract, how she festered all over her body and was about to die after the ceremony was destroyed, how she went to the top of the mountain to die but didn't die, and how she became a girl overnight...... Except for the painful transformation that night, which was only brushed over in a few words, the rest of the things were all told to Xiao Ting, who was stunned in front of her, without reservation.
ββ¦β¦ In short, this is the truth of the matter, and in the end I became what I am now......" It was like being afraid that her mouth would become dumb as soon as she stopped, Xiao Nan barely had any pause in the middle of her long speech, and said the words that she had been holding in her heart for a long, long time to Xiao Ting in one breath, and then waited anxiously to see how Xiao Ting would react.
Just after listening to Xiao Nan's own narration of this paragraph full of desperate, sad and helpless memories, Xiao Ting's eyes were full of disbelief, a pair of big eyes stared at Xiao Nan up and down, the small living room was as quiet as death, and the two girls could even hear each other's heartbeats.
It took a long time for Xiaoting to recover from the initial shock. "What do you mean...... Is it all true?" she asked timidly.
"Is there anything else to doubt? Think about it, what benefits can I get by pretending to be Cheng Xiaonan?"
"No, no...... I'm not doubting your identity, I'm just ...... I just think it's incredible......" Xiao Ting's voice became a little shaky. "How is this possible, how is this possible......"
All the evidence in Xiaoting's brain that proves that there is an inevitable connection between this mysterious girl and Cheng Xiaonan is already about to be spliced into a complete chain of evidence, but it lacks some key details, especially the similarity between the girl and Cheng Xiaonan and the insurmountable difference between men and women, which makes Xiaoting's reasoning conclusion extremely absurd, so that she only dares to imagine that this girl is Cheng Xiaonan's relative or new girlfriend, but she never dares to equate this girl with Xiaonan.
But when Xiaoting listened to this Arabian Nights-style narration, all the causes and consequences, and all the broken evidence were perfectly put together, and her original reasoning seemed seamless - as long as this girl was Cheng Xiaonan, everything could be explained perfectly.
Xiao Ting hesitated slightly, pulled Xiao Nan's right hand and looked at it carefully, comparing the dark red knife mark in her own right palm with the scar in Xiao Nan's palm, and her slender arm trembled slightly. Suddenly, Xiao Ting grabbed Xiao Nan's right hand, just like when he performed the ceremony of Doctor Shi, the two of them clasped their fingers together and clasped their hands tightly. Her voice became a little trembling: "Are you really my Xiao Nan?"
"Of course, I am your Xiao Nan!" Although Xiao Ting's right hand clenched and made Xiao Nan's palm feel a tingling pain, she stiffened and pretended not to feel it, and the corners of her mouth curled up to give Xiao Ting a bright smile: "Trust me, no matter what I become, I will always be your Xiao Nan!"
Xiao Ting's confused eyes suddenly became misty, and her vision was blurred by the tears that burst out of her eyes. At this moment, any words are superfluous, and in an instant the slender figures of the two girls hugged each other tightly until they both felt suffocated.
The two hugged each other tightly like this, and the feelings that had been suppressed for a long time between each other were unstoppable like a flood bursting the embankment. Xiao Ting lay on Xiao Nan's shoulders that were no longer broad and solid, and Xiao Nan hugged Xiao Ting tightly with her arms that were no longer strong, pursed her lips and let the tears flow but did not want to make a little crying sound - this may be the little bit of boyish self-esteem left in her heart to do it.
I don't know how long it took, the two people who hugged each other were slightly separated, Xiao Nan was a little embarrassed to find that she and Xiao Ting's chests were tightly squeezed together, and you could clearly feel the softness of each other's bodies through the thin clothes, maybe in the past, as a boy, you would have been intoxicated by this sweet contact, but now, this feeling is more like reminding her of the fact that she has already turned into a girl, which makes Xiao Nan feel a little uncomfortable, she gently wants to push Xiao Ting away and keep a little distance between the two, but Xiao Ting, who is still crying, is holding her arm tightly and refuses to relax at all, Xiao Nan has no choice but to let Xiao Ting hold it like this, a large piece of tears were wet on his shoulder.
After a long while, Xiao Ting gradually stopped crying, but her hands still grabbed Xiao Nan's arm and refused to let go, but her body retreated a little distance, and a pair of tearful eyes looked Xiao Nan up and down again through the thick bangs on her forehead.
"Don't lie to me, are you really Xiao Nan?"
"Really, I don't lie to you, I swear. β
"You have a weak soul! Since you have come back a long time ago, why don't you go to me and avoid me? Aren't you so unsightly to become a three-headed and six-armed monster and a girl?" Xiao Ting sobbed softly as she swung a pair of small fists towards Xiao Nan's chest and shoulders.
"Okay, okay, good Xiaoting, don't cry......" Xiao Nan smiled bitterly and let Xiao Ting pound on her not solid body, reached out to open the bangs that were wet with tears in front of Xiao Ting's forehead, and gently wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand. "Didn't I go to look for you? Look at you, your eyes are red from crying, like a little rabbit ......"
Xiao Ting raised her head and looked at Xiao Nan who was whispering softly in front of her, the whole person was from head to toe and even her voice, no matter from which point of view, she was a very beautiful little girl, only from her tone and movements could you find a little shadow of Cheng Xiaonan.
"You made yourself like this in order to make me recover, and you made me ...... How do you want me to face you in the future......"
Xiao Nan hugged Xiao Ting into her arms again with both hands and said softly to her: "At this time, just smile......
"Quack quack quack...... A burst of baby laughter suddenly sounded, interrupting the tenderness and sweetness of the two girls. Xiao Ting and Xiao Nan reluctantly let go of each other's arms, and invariably reached out to touch their pockets, because the two of them used this kind of mobile phone ringtone of a little baby laughing happily.
Xiao Ting took out her mobile phone first, and when she saw that there was no caller ID on the screen, it seemed that Xiao Nan's phone was ringing. "Hey, who are you looking for?" Xiao Nan cleared his throat and answered his call.
"May I ask you are Cheng Xiaonan, right?"
"Yes, it's me, what's the matter with you?"
"Oh, I'm sending EMS express, there is a copy of your express mail that needs to be signed, because it suddenly rained heavily today The envelope is wet and a little damaged, please come down and pick it up as soon as possible, I'll wait for you downstairs, hang up!"
"EMS Express?" Xiao Nan was a little confused. "I haven't bought anything from the Internet?Is it sent by my parents?It seems that I still have to go downstairs......" Xiao Nan put away the phone, and saw that Xiao Ting, who was still red in front of her, looked like a pear blossom with rain, and couldn't help but flick the tip of her upturned nose with her fingers: "Wait for me obediently at home, I'll go down and pick up an EMS express and come back immediately." β
"EMS?" Xiao Ting hurriedly pulled Xiao Nan gently: "I'll take it for you, it's inconvenient to go downstairs if your leg is injured, in case you break the wound again, it will be troublesome." After Xiaoting finished speaking, she turned around and was about to open the door.
"Wait a minute, buy me some more stuff and come back. Xiao Nan said and wrote a few lines on the notepad, tore it off and handed it to Xiao Ting: "Just buy it according to what I wrote, bring some food back, and I'll make you something delicious in the evening~"
Xiao Ting glanced at the words written on the sticky note paper, which were all iodophor, sulfonamides, cotton swabs, medical bandages and the like, and knew that Xiao Nan wanted to bandage the wound by herself, so she put it away and put it in her pocket, turned around and opened the door and went downstairs.
"What will be sent?" Xiao Nan was puzzled.
