Thank you very much
Sorry, lend you man for a while. Genius remembers the first in a second"
Nangong Qian raised her head and saw Jiang Le standing in front of her, clasping her hands, the expression on her face was both sincere and a little nervous. She looked at Jiang Le, then at Xiang Nanxing, who was unresponsive next to her, thought about it, and stood up.
"Just for a moment." She held up a finger, "Don't say anything strange, or I'll kill you." β
Although it was just an unfounded intuition, she felt some kind of unusually firm determination from Jiang Le. The other party was not hostileβat least she could be sure of that, so the next thing to see if this determination could arouse Xiang Nanxing. What Jiang Le plans to do or what he wants to say, everything doesn't matter. Since she decided to gamble on this, Nangong Qian no longer hesitated.
"It was a great demeanor to make a decision on the spot, without the slightest bit of mud and water."
Jiang Le looked at the back of Nangong Qian walking out of the door, and praised sincerely. She turned to Xiang Nanxing and said half-jokingly, "It seems that those games are not a bad thing for you, at least they give you a chance to meet her, don't they?" β
Xiang Nanxing still sat quietly with his head bowed, as if Jiang Le opposite was just a ball of air.
"Can't hear it, or don't you want to answer?" Jiang Le looked up and down, "Blindly pretending to be cool can't solve the problem, really." β
"Say whatever you want, and leave when you're done."
Xiang Nanxing finally spoke, his voice unusually cold, "I'm not in the mood to deal with you now." β
"I know, I didn't expect you to consider me a friend."
Jiang Le sighed and sat down next to him, "I'm not qualified to dismiss you, I just want to sit down and say sorry to you." β
"About what?"
"Of course it's what I've done to you before."
Jiang Le raised his head, recalling the days when the two first met. Although she was just pretending, she was incarnated as "Xiao Leping" at that time, and she sat side by side with Xiang Nanxing like this and chatted, listening to the latter express the bitterness of life in prison. At that time, she had a hypocritical expression on her face, and she said carefully concocted words of comfort in a fake voice, but she secretly thought that this was another simple-minded silly boy, who could easily complete the task with a simple lure and then deal with the next target.
After such a long time, the two who have experienced many things have sat back together, but they are already from different positions. Xiang Nanxing has grown to an unbelievable level, and Jiang Le's own attitude towards the world and the future is very different from the beginning.
"I'm sorry, Xiang Nanxing." She bowed her head deeply and said sincerely, "I did a lot of wrong things at that time, and almost put you in that prison forever, and I always owe you an apology." β
Xiang Nanxing turned his head to look at her, and Jiang Le met his gaze without hesitation. At this moment, Xiang Nanxing, who was originally indifferent, couldn't help but be slightly moved. Today, he was enough to see through the most cunning disguise, but he couldn't tell the slightest falsehood from Jiang Le's face.
This once insidious and cunning opponent is now sincerely repenting.
"I accept." He said, "These are things in the past, and I have long since let them go." And like you said, I actually have to thank it. If I hadn't had those experiences, I wouldn't be where I am today. β
He said, "There are other people who deserve to hear this apology more than me." β
"Shen Junhao?" Jiang Le's face darkened.
"Yes."
The two were silent for a moment, and they fell into memories together. This name is a hurdle that they can't get around. Shen Junhao is one of the few people who has released kindness to Xiang Nanxing when he first entered prison, and he is like a big brother in his mind. However, later under Jiang Le's strategy, Shen Junhao's friend Chen Zhi had a misunderstanding with him, and gave him a fatal blow when the latter was about to win, and then Chen Zhi died indirectly at Jiang Le's hands, and Shen Junhao was killed by Huang Lao who came in a hurry when he took revenge, and finally only left a scar on Jiang Leyu's neck that has not faded to this day.
Regarding Shen Junhao's other matters, Xiang Nanxing waited until the end of the White Night Festival and returned to Tianjing before starting to investigate. The more he knew, the more he couldn't forgive Luo Baichuan and Jiang Le, who had been his right and left hand. Especially knowing that Hu Xiaoni was only about the same age as him when she became addicted to drugs, Xiang Nanxing seemed to understand why Shen Junhao took special care of him, so he hated those drug dealers even more.
"Shen Junhao and Chen Zhi are dead, Hu Xiaoni is addicted to drugs, life is worse than death, the lives of these three people can be said to be ruined in the hands of Luo Baichuan, but you are also indispensable for an account." Xiang Nanxing gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for Brother Shen, I might have become friends with you now." But every time I think of him, I can't help but think about how many people are like him who have been ruined by the former 'Xiao Leping'. The protagonists of those tragedies deserve your sorry sentence more than me! β
Jiang Le was silent for a moment.
"The dead can't hear sorry, no matter what I do, they won't come back to life, so I'm doomed to be unable to atone, and all efforts to do so are doomed to be futile......," she paused, "β I used to think so. β
Avoiding Xiang Nanxing's puzzled gaze, she turned her head and pursed her lips, "Xiang Nanxing, in fact, in addition to being sorry, I also want to say thank you to you." β
"Thank me?"
"Thank you for opening my eyes to another possibility of being alive. The kind of innocent and ugly way of living that you have to try to persevere all the time even if it seems impossible. β
"Is that a compliment?" Xiang Nanxing was dumbfounded.
"It's my heartfelt respect." Jiang Le's words changed, "I know that Shen Junhao is dead, and I can no longer make up for the mistakes I committed against him." β
"Hmm."
"But what if I say that Chen Zhi and Hu Xiaoni are still alive?"
"What!" Xiang Nanxing was surprised, "But didn't Brother Shen say that after the Three Kingdoms Game, you and Luo Baichuan secretly executed Chen Zhi ......?"
"I secretly saved him." Jiang Le shook his head, "To be honest, I was also a little confused, why did I suddenly have such an idea at that time, so I didn't know how to deal with it later, so I had to secretly arrange for someone to send him to Xifeng, take care of him first, or rather, guard him first." β
"Then why didn't you say it during the White Night Festival?" Xiang Nanxing frowned, "If you make it clear, Brother Shen won't be ......."
"There's no chance." Jiang Le smiled bitterly, "Everything happened too fast, and by the time I woke up, I was already lying in the intensive care ward, and the White Night Sacrifice was over." β
"Then I regained my title as a princess and started to do things. Taking the opportunity of this visit, I found Hu Xiaoni, who had completed drug rehabilitation, abroad, and told her everything and asked for her forgiveness. Not surprisingly, she couldn't forgive me and even wanted to kill me. β
"It's also quite normal." Xiang Nanxing was silent.
"I promised."
"What?" Xiang Nanxing was surprised again.
"I promised her that she could kill me, and Xifeng would not retaliate because it was my atonement." Jiang Le said, "But in the end, she couldn't do it, after all, no matter how angry she was, she was still a kind ordinary person." So in the end, there was a compromise, she was going to go with me, and when she could finally make up her mind, she would kill me. β
Listening to her words, Xiang Nanxing's mind faintly appeared with the taciturn maid. "Is that maid beside you......" he said.
"That's Hu Xiaoni." Jiang Le said, "To this day, she still hates me because I killed her two brothers, but she hasn't killed me yet, which probably means that I haven't done anything bad to irritate people." β
"Two ...... Wait a minute. Xiang Nanxing raised his forehead, "Didn't you just say that Chen Zhi was saved by you and is still alive?" β
"I'm not sure." Jiang Le shook his head, "He was sent to the territory of Xifeng, but with the civil strife, I also lost contact with the people sent to take care of him, and now I don't know if he is dead or alive." I felt that since I didn't know life and death, it would be too unfair to tell me about it, so I didn't talk to Hu Xiaoni about Chen Zhi. β
"You are really ......" Xiang Nanxing shook his head helplessly, "I didn't know you had such a pedantic side before." β
"The pedantic part was all learned from you." Jiang Le said with a smile.
She smiled easily, as if another boulder in her heart had been removed with these words. The corners of Xiang Nanxing's mouth unconsciously raised an arc. Although the future is still uncertain, seeing Jiang Le's appearance, he is also sincerely happy for the other party.
"Xiang Nanxing, I want to tell you that you changed me." She suddenly said seriously, "At the beginning, I thought that people like you were destined to live no more than three months in prison, and even with Liang Jingmo's help, it was only a relationship that was temporarily used. Later, when it comes to the Three Kingdoms game, you have successfully completed the mission of your collaborator and obtained a chance to leave the ship. And I thought your good luck was there. β
"Compared to the prison ship, the island is a higher-level arena. The people who live there are more cruel and experienced, and Liang Jingmo can't really treat you as a companion. When you get there, it's like a sheep in a wolf pack that ends up being eaten clean - but I was wrong. She said, "You've got new companions, you've gotten stronger, and finally I even met you at the White Night Festival." What surprised me the most was that although you were forced by the situation to do something that you couldn't accept, you didn't let it slump because of it, nor did you rationalize it all in order to make your heart better. You choose to carry this fault and continue to walk, insisting on your belief that 'don't kill'. There were so many times when it was reasonable to give it up, but you persevered, and you persevered to this day. Because seeing you like this, I have the courage to do what I want to do. β
Jiang Le took a deep breath and looked into his eyes.
"I want to tell you that Liang Jingmo said that people must get along with each other, and I believe his words are sincere. But he's been helping you for so long, is it just that he likes your identity? Jiang Le said, "I'd rather believe that he is trying to get close to this innocence in you." This kind of naivety that he once had, but he killed it with his own hands in difficult situations again and again. Every time he advises you to recognize the reality, but I think, maybe he didn't even realize it, but he actually hoped that one day you would prove him wrong. β
"And what I hope is that I will never see you give up."
Jiang Le stood up after saying this. She stretched out her hand, as if to pat Xiang Nanxing's shoulder, but hesitated to retract it. Finally, she took a deep look at him, then walked out of the door and went straight past Nangong Qian with a complicated expression on the side of the door.
"I've given it back to you." She whispered.
Nangong Qian nodded, as if thanking her.
In the room, Xiang Nanxing has been sitting there quietly, like a sculpture. After a long while, he finally moved. This move is like throwing off the burden on his shoulders, and his gestures seem to be no different from before, and it seems to have been reborn.
The first thing he did when he stood up was to pick up the phone on the desk and dial a phone number.
"It's me." His voice also rejuvenated, "Late night disturbed." That's right, I have something I want to ask you for......"
