287 Who flinched
Zhen Xin turned around and was about to leave, but a cute kitten happened to run out of the coffee shop, and Feifei immediately called out excitedly, "Wang! Barking! ”
It took two quick steps forward, its little tail wagging happily, and its limbs were excitedly stepping on the ground, apparently wanting to come forward and play with the kitten. But because Zhen Xin has trained it extremely well since he was a child, although it was impatient, it still turned its head to look at Zhen Xin and waited for her instructions.
Zhen Xin subconsciously pulled the leash back, wanting to leave quickly.
But before the command could be spoken, she already felt a familiar and intense gaze, nailed straight to her.
Her heart trembled involuntarily, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva before she raised her head in resignation and looked at where her gaze came from.
It's Xiao Tingli.
He saw her.
"Feifei, come."
Zhen Xin led Feifei towards the man, just ten meters away, every step she took was full of pressure, because the oppression emanating from the man's eyes made her unable to ignore it.
"Long time no see, Xiao Tingli."
She stood across from him, her left hand clutching the leash tightly, trying to bring a natural smile to the corners of her lips, trying to make herself look calm.
Xiao Tingli's pitch-black bottom of the pool swelled with waves, but the first thing he said was, "Let your dog stay away from me!" ”
"......" Zhen Xin was obviously stunned, and then reacted, she quickly led Feifei to the side of the lamppost and tied it, "I'm sorry, I was negligent." ”
She never thought that one day he would hate dogs, after all, she had been dealing with cats and dogs every day since the day he met her.
But now, after all, it is different from the past.
His most beloved aunt was once turned into a vegetative state because she saved her from the dog's mouth. It's amazing that he can just hate the dog and not hate her.
Perhaps, I hate her now, right?!
However, this is not the case.
Xiao Tingli has never hated dogs, when his aunt had an accident, it was a man-made disaster, and he would not be angry with dogs.
He was angry with the dog at the moment because he inexplicably thought that this dog might have been given to her by Sikong Lan as a gift to please Zhen Xin and impress Zhen Xin, so he suddenly hated this dog.
Especially, she looked, the same as before leaving.
This means that after she married Sikong Lan, she had a good life.
A woman's face is a mirror of marriage, good or bad, it is clearly written.
"What do you want to drink?"
"A glass of macchiato, thank you."
The coffee was delivered quickly, Zhen Xin took a sip, feeling the dense milky fragrance filling her mouth, her heartbeat, which had been chaotic from the beginning, finally gradually calmed down.
She raised her head to meet Xiao Tingli's scrutinizing gaze, "I know you have a lot of questions. Let's start with the night I disappeared. ”
"After Zhen Yi was injured and sent to the hospital, I felt sick to my stomach, so Li Yi arranged for Director Zha to examine me. Who knew that Aunt Hong had already been ambushed in the examination room, knocked Director Zha unconscious with a hammer, and was going to give me an abortion injection. I couldn't figure out who was behind her, so I decided to subdue her with her abilities first, and wait until you returned. ”
Unexpectedly, the main messenger behind the scenes prepared a drop of water, not only prepared medicine in advance to stun us, but also locked the door of the room and set fire to the house. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late. When I woke up, I found myself stranded on a remote island. Child...... It's gone. ”
Zhen Xin hesitated, but decided to hide her daughter's identity first. After all, in this Qingcheng, there are too many eyes staring at her and Xiao Tingli. When she couldn't guarantee her daughter's absolute safety, even Xiao Tingli, she didn't dare to reveal the truth.
"I was stuck on the island for months, and I finally got the impression of a doctor who was a regular visitor to the island. We left the island at night, but we were separated not long after, I hid in a small boat and drifted for half the night, and finally met a kind man who returned to the city from sea fishing, and luckily picked up a life. ”
Xiao Tingli had long guessed that she must have suffered a lot after her disappearance.
Now that he heard his conjecture confirmed, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable and depressed, and even his voice was slightly hoarse, "Since you escaped, why don't you contact me?" ”
"Because I'm afraid of killing someone."
Zhen Xin looked into his eyes, "Whether it's the kind people who picked me up at sea, the doctor who took me away, or the islanders who took care of me on the island, what's wrong with them?" Moreover, the precondition that the doctor promised to save me was that I could never return to Qingcheng and contact you again. How can I not be true to my word? ”
"So you gave up on me ruthlessly? Am I so untrustworthy? Xiao Tingli pressed his hands the table, his ten fingers tightened, as if they were about to be deeply embedded in the wood, "It's not even worth your try?" ”
He couldn't suppress his excitement!
"I've implicated dozens of people, each with only one life. So dozens of lives, you tell me, how can you test them? If you try it wrong, they'll die! ”
Zhen Xin looked at him sadly, "Xiao Tingli, I'm not you, I'm not so confident, and I'm not so brave." Because I don't have a lot of power, what am I going to try? Is it just your love? ”
Xiao Tingli suddenly couldn't say a word in front of such a question.
Their love once moved her, so she was willing to protect it at all costs, even if her family was guilty and in constant trouble, she never thought of taking a step back.
But in the end?
What did her disregard come to with it?
Hanging by a thread, losing a child, staying incognito, away from his family.
All of Xiao Tingli's emotions suddenly disappeared at this moment.
A boundless desolation permeated his heart, and he felt a biting cold, gradually invaded his whole body in the early morning of this summer day.
"So you're scared, aren't you?"
The whole person suddenly seemed to have lost the strength to support, Xiao Tingli's body leaned back heavily, only his lower jaw, and insisted on lifting it, "That's right, people yearn for stability." You're holding back, and that's normal. ”
"I ......"
Zhen Xin's lips opened, wanting to say that she didn't, she didn't just want to back down.
Otherwise, she would not agree to accompany Sikong Lan back to Qingcheng.
Sikong Lan wants to find her brother, she actually can't help anything, she still doesn't know what Sikong Lan does, she just feels that he has great powers, economic strength and connections.
But when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly felt that Xiao Tingli might ...... That's right.
Of course, people yearn for stability, otherwise, there will not be so many heroes who choose to retreat and choose to revel in the gentle township.
And what about her?
She is not a hero, of course, but she is a mother of a child, and she wants to protect the peace of her child's side of the world.
Zhen Xin has always felt that although she has left Xiao Tingli for two years, she has never really forgotten him for a day, so her feelings for him have never changed.
But at this moment, after careful analysis and recall, she suddenly found that her feelings for him now were different from those days.
At least, she had complained about him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that.
Time has really changed many people, many things, and many feelings unconsciously.
You can't admit it.
Look, now she has a decent family, although her husband and wife relationship with Sikong Lan is in name only, it has not affected their happy family life at all, she is very comfortable and at ease in that home.
And Xiao Tingli looks the same.
"In that case, goodbye."
Zhen Xin stood up, turned around and wanted to leave, but remembered another thing, "By the way, Xiao Tingli, who kidnapped me to that island in the first place, I don't want to pursue it anymore." Therefore, I also hope that your Xiao family and Chu family can let me and my family go. I just want to live quietly with my children and we won't disturb each other in the future, okay? ”
Xiao Tingli didn't speak, but his expression was gloomy.
Zhen Xin took him as if he agreed, she untied Feifei's leash, "Let's go, go home." ”
I didn't take two steps, and a panicked shout suddenly came from not far away, "Someone is snatching a child!" Save my child! Stop him! Stop that man! ”
Zhen Xin turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw a man wearing a peaked cap, who was hurrying out of the square with a child in his arms!
She immediately squatted down and slapped Feifei on the back, pointing her finger at the man, "Feifei, stop him!" ”
