Chapter 212: In the Heart
There was silence all around, and Qiao Mingjue sat there quietly waiting, without any expression on his face.
From the moment he chose to come in, he felt as if his heart was being held tightly by something, and the oppressive pain made him breathless, and the steps under his feet became heavy, until he sat here, he finally calmed down.
Not long after, Yin Xinyan was taken by the prison guards and walked slowly in the direction of Qiao Mingjue.
In just a few days, the current Yin Xinyan is very different from Qiao Mingjue's impression of her.
Yin Xinyan has been pampered like a princess since she was a child, and she has a kind of arrogance that others do not have at all times, even when Yin Xinyan was taken away by the police last time, she still did not get rid of that pride, and her eyes still retained her stubbornness.
But now, in those brown eyes, there is no longer the original color.
The thick tempered glass was wiped spotlessly, even if it was separated by a distance, Qiao Mingjue could still clearly see Yin Xinyan's pale face, and saw that her long brown curly hair was simply tied up by a black rubber band, as if she had completely changed a person.
I don't know if Yin Xinyan doesn't want to see him, in short, he has been waiting for her here for a long time.
The waiting time is long, Qiao Mingjue has thought about many scenes of meeting Yin Xinyan, but he never thought that it would be so calm as now.
Slowly sat down under the supervision of the prison guards, picked up the phone on the side, Yin Xinyan raised her eyes, and looked at Qiao Mingjue's eyes without any light, like the deep sea that overwhelmed people, deep and bleak.
"You...... How did you get here?"
Seeing Qiao Mingjue pick up the phone, Yin Xinyan opened her mouth in a hoarse voice.
Qiao Mingjue looked at Yin Xinyan fixedly, and her voice was very soft: "I heard Xuanxuan say something about you, come and see you." β
"Look at me?" A bitter smile overflowed on her lips, Yin Xinyan lowered her eyes, and her voice revealed sadness, "Are you here to see me, or have you come to see my jokes?"
"Xinyan ......"
"Tell me the truth, why the hell are you coming?"
Qiao Mingjue paused, "Xinyan, you really misunderstood me, I came to see you, sincerely." No matter what others think, at least I still know you somewhat, and I'm sure you're not that kind of person, just on the spur of the moment, right?"
Yin Xinyan was stunned at first, and then smiled helplessly: "Why am I so stupid, since you are all here, then they must have told you the whole process......, right? And my mom and dad, are they okay?"
"Don't worry, uncle and aunt are all right, I also visited Qin Jiaxi, and his life is not in danger. β
Lin Wenxuan found Qiao Mingjue and did not mention the chaotic situation at home, since Qiao Mingjue has broken away from the Yin family, naturally he can't run over to see the situation if he has nothing to do, he doesn't know the truth, he takes it for granted that everything is as usual and nothing has changed.
However, such ignorance also gave Yin Xinyan a reassurance.
On the day she was taken to the police station, to be honest, Yoon Shin-yeon was really scared.
Although she knows very well that even if there is no her in this family, there is Lin Wenxuan, and her parents will be fine no matter what, but she is still afraid, afraid that they will be stimulated, hurt by this, and even the cynicism of others.
Yes, she regretted it.
From the moment the fruit knife was inserted straight into Qin Jiaxi's abdomen, she regretted it.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now, whether she regrets it or not, things have gone in an uncontrollable direction, and she, too, has been punished.
I don't know how long it took, just when Qiao Mingjue thought that Yin Xinyan would not speak anymore, she suddenly laughed, and her voice was extremely hoarse: "Do you know, from the time I was arrested until the court sentenced me, you were the only one who came to see me, thank you." β
"They...... They ......"
didn't expect this to be the case, Qiao Mingjue couldn't find the right words for a while.
Others put it aside, just talking about Yin Xinyan's family, even if Lin Wenxuan didn't come to see her because she was angry, but what about her parents?
"You don't have to bother to make excuses for them, my behavior has completely annoyed them, and my mother will definitely not think of coming to see me, as for my father...... My dad must be eager to get rid of me now, and never let me go back in this life......"
Recalling Yin Shengjie's pale face that day, and while telling her to get out of Yin's house, she called the police mercilessly, Yin Xinyan's eyes were like a thin layer of mist, and her heart was throbbing for a while.
Lin Wenxuan was miserably killed by her, but isn't she also retributioned now?
Why didn't any of them think of her?
Looking at Yin Xinyan's uncomfortable appearance, Qiao Mingjue only felt that his heart was pinched.
It seems that Lin Wenxuan is right, he and Yin Xinyan are the same, they obviously like each other in their hearts, but they want to find the so-called sense of security and love by hurting each other, which is really naΓ―ve.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Mingjue tried to make Yin Xinyan lift her spirits, "What about your aunt, if I'm not mistaken, it was you who told me that she has always loved you two sisters, and she ran abroad alone after Xuanxuan was lost, and she also returned to China not long ago, you encounter such a thing now, she won't know anything, right?"
Qu Mengnan has not come to see Yin Xinyan, in fact, Qiao Mingjue is not completely sure.
It's just that if he doesn't say that, what better way can he comfort Yin Xinyan?
Unexpectedly, when Qu Mengnan was mentioned, Yin Xinyan became more and more sad, "You're right, she did come to me, but not now, but when I was still locked up in the public security bureau and tortured." β
Qiao Mingjue didn't make a sound, and listened quietly.
"The moment I was taken away by the police, my heart was already dead, and after I arrived at the Public Security Bureau, I was even more afraid, afraid that I would say the wrong thing, afraid that I would do something wrong and add to the wrong thing, that kind of despair, you will not understand it at all...... Maybe it was because I didn't speak, I didn't answer, and they were forced to bring my aunt over to cooperate with the investigation, I thought I was saved, but ......"
Halfway through the words, Yin Xinyan's voice suddenly choked, and she couldn't speak anymore anyway.
No one knows what she has been through these days, and no one can understand the pain and despair in her heart, the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, Yin Xinyan never wants to taste it again in this life.
She admits that she was wrong, very wrong!
But if there is a mistake, can't it be corrected? Even if it is to let her be beaten with a feather duster, it is much better than to lock her up here, right?
"What did she say?" Qiao Mingjue frowned.
Yin Xinyan and Lin Wenxuan are actually similar on some levels, they both like to hide their emotions, use strength as a protective shield, tightly seal their true thoughts, and leave endless sadness for themselves.
And now such a fragile Yin Xinyan, Qiao Mingjue is really the first time to see her.
She ...... She only glanced at me lightly, very cooperative with the work of the police, and then," Yin Xinyan smiled bitterly, "and then she left, and didn't care about ......me anymore."
Looking at Yin Xinyan, who was decadent for a moment, Qiao Mingjue couldn't help but fall into painful memories.
How could he not understand her feelings?
Qiao Mingjue was born in a poor village, the village is not big, and the life of every family is not easy, even the family of the village party secretary is not rich, but everyone lives happily together, and life is smooth. At that time, the men in the village all went to the city to work together to earn money to support their families, and Qiao Mingjue's father was naturally also in the team of working in the city.
Because his father went to the city to develop the best, Qiao Mingjue was once proud, took his father as an example for him to learn, and worked hard, but life changed dramatically at this time, and a deep wound was drawn on the young Qiao Mingjue's heart.
Listening to the people in the village talking about the affairs of their own family, and listening to those adults saying that their father ran away with a rich woman in the city, the young Qiao Mingjue didn't understand it for a while, and always felt that everyone was talking nonsense, and always felt that it would be good to wait for his father to come back, but this wait is three years.
Three years later, his father came back alone, constantly quarreling with his mother, looking at his angry father and crying mother every day, Qiao Mingjue finally realized the problem of this family, and finally understood that what everyone said was true.
Closing his eyes in pain, the picture of him crying and begging his father not to leave is still vivid, but ......
Suddenly opened his eyes, Qiao Mingjue looked at Yin Xinyan, and his voice was much softer: "Xinyan, don't feel uncomfortable, you listen to me, it's not that they don't love you, they just want you to be more sensible." If they really don't want to care about you, they won't call the police, let alone cooperate with the police so much, it's like my ......"
"Alright, it's almost time to visit, and I should go back too. β
"That'...... I'll wait for you. β
Seeing that Yin Xinyan didn't want to listen to it anymore, Qiao Mingjue didn't force her.
After all, it is a person who has the same experience, and now Qiao Mingjue has already walked out of the pain of the past, and knows that this kind of thing can only untie the knot by herself, rather than forcing Yin Xinyan to have no way back now, it is better to let her calm down and think clearly.
Hurriedly put down the phone, Yin Xinyan got up and immediately followed the prison guards away, without any nostalgia.
Qiao Mingjue also put down the phone, stood up, and watched the prison guard leave with Yin Xinyan, until he couldn't see it anymore, then turned around and walked out.
It's like finally having a wish, and when he got out of prison, Qiao Mingjue felt extremely relaxed.
can't blame Lin Wenxuan for forcing him to come over, now he does have Yin Xinyan's shadow in his heart, and he can't get rid of it no matter what.
The last sentence left, I don't know how Yin Xinyan felt when she heard it?
He didn't lie anyway, he made a decision from the moment he saw her that he would always wait for her.
As long as she is willing, no matter how long it takes, he can wait without regrets.
The sun is clear and bright, casting dazzling spots of light on the asphalt road through the gaps in the branches and leaves. Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, Qiao Mingjue closed his eyes in enjoyment, took a deep breath, and showed a smile on his face, after a while, he opened his eyes and took a leisurely walk home.
Some of the love hidden in the heart, once spoken, seems to become much easier.
