Chapter Twenty-Three: If Life Is Only as First Seen

"Why do you care so much?" Zhuo Chen asked her rhetorically.

Lin Ning was speechless, obviously he knew the answer in his heart, why did he still question her out loud. Is it true that now that Bai Shuyun is back to being single, can she move forward without scruples? Was the previous retreat really just because he had Zhuo Xin by his side?

"It's my own business whether I care or not, it's none of your business, Professor Zhuo." Lin Ning ultimately refused to answer his question.

Zhuo Chen's wrinkled eyebrows loosened a little, so that he made people feel even more frightened, his dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see into your soul, so that the secrets of your heart had nowhere to hide. He didn't speak, he just kept looking at Lin Ning like this. ”…… I don't say it, and you know it. In the end, Lin Ning still lost to him.

"You've been apart for so long, you're not the same person you remember anymore, and I don't want to see the people who are important to me hurt." Zhuo Chen rarely spoke long sentences to her, he really didn't want to see them end up with everyone's head bleeding. Zhuo Xin is his sister, Bai Shuyun is his best friend, and Lin Ning is his ......

Lin Ning could understand what he was worried about, and this was what she was worried about. After all, she has been separated for too long, and she has not participated in his growth, so she can only subjectively think that he is still the original him, and she likes him. ”…… I know. But Bai Shuyun is the reason why she has persevered until now, no matter what he becomes, at least she still loves him now, and she will not back down.

Seeing Lin Ning's eyes that slowly became firm, Zhuo Chen knew that it was useless to say more, although there was a pain in his heart that he had never experienced before, he still looked "fierce" on the surface.

"Let's go." His tone was a little weak.

Lin Ning nodded solemnly at him, the bridge built between them seemed to collapse with a bang, the future is a strange road, and the future is a different path......

Qi Haiming's mobile phone has been vibrating, you don't need to look to know that it was Zhuo Xin calling, he has been calling him all the time in the past few days, he is really going to collapse. turned off the phone and was afraid that Lin Ning would call him, but not once.

"You're not answering the phone?" Shao Bai leaned in front of him.

He was taken aback.

It stands to reason that Shao Bai is dating Zhuo Xin now, but he answered his girlfriend's phone in front of him, and he was afraid that she would say something crazy and be heard by him, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry about me, she's been ignoring me for days." Shao Bai smiled bitterly.

In this way, Qi Haiming will not take it.

"Did you quarrel with her?" He asked. ”…… It's good to be able to quarrel, she doesn't answer my phone calls, and she doesn't see me, is she going to dump me. ”

Looking at Shao Bai's helpless and sad appearance, he suddenly remembered what Zhuo Xin said, she didn't like Shao Bai at all, but Shao Bai was wishful thinking. He felt that it was not worth it, and he felt that Shao Bai was not worth it, and fell in love with such a woman. ”…… Have you ever thought that maybe she wasn't the best choice for you? "He doesn't want his good friend to go down the road of no return." …… But these things are unpredictable in advance. I'm going to meet her, it's meant that she's going to hurt me, maybe ...... It is also predestined. ”

Shao Bai's words have been circling in his mind, he is right, this qiΔ“ may really be destined, it can only be accepted calmly and overcome with hard work. "Qi Haiming!"

The shrill roar almost punctured his eardrums, and the person who was soaring the soprano was none other than Zhuo Xin, who had come directly to their school to block him.

Seeing Zhuo Xin, he instinctively turned around and was about to leave, but she stepped forward to stop him.

"Qi Haiming, this is my last warning, if you don't answer my phone and avoid me again, I will make you regret it." She seems to have a tendency to collapse.

"I also warn you not to threaten me! Don't even show up in front of my eyes! ”

He really can't stand her!

Looking at Qi Haiming's resolute back, Zhuo Xin felt unspeakably uncomfortable. She just fell in love with him, but she didn't expect him to be so disgusted with herself, if...... Without Lin Ning, would he be able to look at himself squarely......

Her heart gradually went dark......

In the past few days, something strange has happened in the school, Zhuo Chen is no longer embarrassed by Lin Ning, and Lin Ning no longer has to go on stage to solve problems, nor does he have to go to the company after class to fight with Zhuo Chen. Lin Ning became like an ordinary student, attending classes when it was time to attend classes and leaving classes on time when it was time to get out of class.

They seem to have become strangers.

The classmates guessed that maybe the two of them were really arguing a lot this time, so they would fight a cold war like this, and it should be fine in a short time.

And Lin Ning just felt that she was just back to a normal state, and now she is normal, isn't it? Although the sudden change still made her a little unaccustomed, habits can be formed slowly. She can get used to having Zhuo Chen's company, and she can also get used to returning to a life alone.

Unexpectedly, the guesses of the classmates were also correct, Zhuo Chen did not have a cold war with Lin Ning all the time, because Lin Ning had a car accident.

No one knows how Lin Ning had a car accident, but he can only recall that day, when he saw Zhuo Chen running wildly in the school park, the panic on his face was impressive.

Lin Ning had a long dream, and in the dream he returned to the time when he was in high school with Bai Shuyun. In her dreams, she laughed and cried.

She also dreamed of Qi Haiming and Zhuo Chen, dreamed that Qi Haiming cried in front of her, opening his mouth as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear his voice, and finally he turned around and left, his back was so lonely.

Zhuo Chen held her hand, his expression was deep and sad, and he felt like he was about to cry, if she hadn't seen him like this in her dream, she would definitely take out her mobile phone immediately to record this extraordinary moment. But because she knew she was dreaming, she took her hand.

"I'm sorry......" his voice trembled a little.

Well? Why say you're sorry?

"I'm sorry...... Lin Ning...... You're waking up......"

It's time for her to wake up, Zhuo Chen in the dream is too strange to her, the corners of his eyes are filled with tears, she has to wake up quickly.

"Zhuo Chen, how is Lin Ning?" Wei Yu, who came in a hurry, asked eagerly.

At this time, they were in the hospital, and Lin Ning was lying on the hospital bed, with gauze wrapped around his head and abrasions on his cheeks.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Concussion, not life-threatening, but not awake yet, hospitalized for observation. Zhuo Chen felt very difficult to spit out every word.

Hearing Zhuo Chen's answer, Wei Yu seemed a little sluggish, and he froze in place. On the way to his desperate arrival, his heart felt like it was going to explode, he was afraid, he was in pain, he was afraid that she would have something long and short. At this time, I saw her lying lying with even breathing, although she hadn't woken up yet, but his heart slowly calmed down, and it was okay.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Has the perpetrator been found? ”

Zhuo Chen shook his head slightly.

received a call from the hospital saying that when Lin Ning had a car accident, Zhuo Chen almost had a heart attack. His heart was beating violently, regretting the indifference of a few days, and if she had anything to do, he would hate himself to death.

Lin Ning's head was injured, and there were local abrasions on her body and face, although she was not life-threatening, she had been in a coma, which made people feel uneasy. Zhuo Chen also informed Qi Haiming, but he left in a hurry not long after he came to see Lin Ning.

Zhuo Chen kept holding Lin Ning's hand, wanting to pass on his temperature to her, hoping that she could feel it, but her hands were indeed extremely cold.

Qi Haiming kept calling Zhuo Xin, but she never answered, which made him even more sure that Lin Ning's car accident had nothing to do with her, so he went directly to their school to find her. After a period of twists and turns, I finally found Zhuo Xin.

"Zhuo Xin, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless." "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know what you did yourself, do you think you can escape the law?" Qi Haiming scoffed. "I said Qi Haiming, don't be too naΓ―ve, will I leave a handle for you?" She looked defiant.

Qi Haiming really wants to be angry with her, how can there be such a femme fatale woman? Didn't she and Lin Ning have a good relationship before? Why is it back now that threatens her life.

"What the hell do you want from me!" "Stay with me."

Hearing her say this again, he couldn't refuse as decisively as before, if he rejected her again, would she harm Lin Ning again?

"Yes, if you reject me again, I think you should know the consequences." She continued as if she could read Qi Haiming's heart.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Does that make sense? Even if I'm with you, I don't have feelings for you, why can't you be with Shao Bai who likes you so much? "I don't want to talk to you about this, you just have to answer if I want to be with me or not." She asked forcefully.

The answer is obvious, Qi Haiming doesn't want Lin Ning to be hurt again, if meeting her request can restore Lin Ning's peace, why not sacrifice him. He could only be sorry for Shao Bai, he succumbed to her methods.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As long as you don't trouble Lin Ning in the future, I will promise you. "Hehe......" Zhuo Xin sneered, this was the result of her single-handedness, but as long as he could stay by his side, it was enough.

"Okay, I promise you." Zhuo Xin continued.

The goal was achieved, but there was no imaginary joy. She only got Qi Haiming's body, his soul, and his heart, all of which were in someone else's. But she thinks that as long as she tries hard, he will fall in love with her one day, and she will wait for that day to come.

Zhuo Xin didn't know that only feelings couldn't be forced. In the end, her pain and her regret could not make her go back to the beginning. If life was only as good as the first time she saw it, she would definitely choose not to meet Qi Haiming, or even Bai Shuyun......

Lin Ning had a long dream, and Qi Haiming in the dream was waving to her and saying:

"Goodbye, Lin Ning."
