Chapter 35: A Safe Return
Gu Xinrui was speechless for a while, and the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and she didn't say a word.
Shi Fanxing simply hung up the phone.
"You're a little sharper than I thought. β
The man's voice seemed to be mixed with some shallow and faint laughter, his voice was behind his ear, the distance between the two people was very close, Shi Fanxing was a little uncomfortable, and struggled slightly.
"Sir...... That ......" Shi Fanxing said, "I don't know why you decided to help me, but there are some things I don't do." β
The man seemed to be in some interest: "Because you have two children?"
"Yes," Shi Fanxing said, "I need money very much, but I'm still a mother, and I don't want my children to know that their mother is a mother who can ...... for money People who give up the bottom line. β
The man chuckled, his voice languid: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of superficial person who only likes short-term pleasures. β
"Then ......" Shi Fanxing tentatively asked, "What do you need me to do?"
The man felt her resistance, gently withdrew the arm wrapped behind her, and gently moved his position, keeping a polite distance from her: "Miss Shi, I help you because you are very similar to an old friend of mine." I ...... to her I'm ashamed, but I can't make up for it. β
Shi Fanxing understood a little, and she nodded: "So, you need me to be her replacement, right?"
β...... If you have to understand it that way, it's not impossible. β
Shi Fanxing smiled bitterly, lowered his head and looked at his toes: "Okay, as long as I can save my mother and give my daughter back to me, I can do it." β
"So easily?" said the man.
Shi Fanxing shrugged: "I don't have the right to choose, I need money, the sooner the better." β
The man pursed his lips and did not speak.
The room was dark enough, dark enough that she had been in for so long, and her eyes had already adjusted to the darkness here, but she still couldn't see his face clearly.
"Sleep. β
The man was silent for a long time, and finally spat out three words, he stood up, grabbed her wrist, and walked to the bedroom.
Shi Fanxing's whole body tensed, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sir, I just said, I ......"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. β
The man held her wrist very gently, and his tone was much softer than when they first met, he pressed her shoulder, sat down on the edge of the bed, and then slowly crouched down in front of her.
"Mr. ......"
The man gently helped her take off her shoes, and the movements were as soft as if a feather was crossing, "I've been suffering from insomnia lately, and I can't sleep all night long. β
β...... Is it because you miss your old friend?"
"Well," the man nodded, "I really miss her, every time I think of her, my heart is like a small knife slowly cutting off the flesh, I have tried almost all the sleeping pills available on the market, but almost nothing works." β
Shi Fanxing's heart softened a little, "Your old friend, did she leave you?"
"Hmm. β
"Because of what?"
The man smiled bitterly, and the old man whose shadow was pulled on the ground by the moonlight looked pitiful and lonely for no reason: "What else could it be? Because sheβdoesn't love me." β
The stars choked.
She didn't expect it to be such an answer.
She could probably guess something from this man's language before, the girl who was very similar to herself may have died of illness, or maybe it was because of this and that hindering the two of them from being together for a lifetime, but she never expected it to be like this......
"Sir, does she know you care so much about her?"
"Yes," the man was also a little uncertain: "Maybe you know, maybe you don't know, it doesn't matter anymore." β
The man took off her shoes, picked her up, and gently put her on the bed, and lay down behind her: "Sleep." β
β...... Oh. β
The first time I spent the night in a strange place, there was still a strange man lying next to him, Shi Fanxing couldn't sleep at first, and kept his eyes open until the second half of the night.
But these days she has been really sleepy, and she has gradually become confused.
In a daze, she could feel a soft kiss fall on her forehead, as well as the gentle whisper of a man's love.
But when she tried to discern what he was saying, she couldn't hear it clearly.
......
Shi Fanxing was woken up by a sharp stinging pain.
The wound in her chest and abdomen ached faintly, and the painkillers she had taken yesterday could only last for 12 hours, and by this time they had completely failed.
She rolled over and sat up, only to find that there was no one around her.
