Chapter 196 Secrets Of South 7
An exquisite villa was situated halfway up the mountain. Xia Luobing sat in a wheelchair and looked at the person opposite him helplessly, “Lin Chen, I can walk now.”
“Don’t!” Lin Chen waved his hand and said, “You’re so badly injured, I managed to revive you with great difficulty. If there are any sequelae left behind, that fellow from South Stream will kill me!”
Xia Luobing reached out to pinch her eyebrows and helplessly shook her head, “He was very cute before!”
When she rushed into the courtyard, the house collapsed. When she woke up, she was already in this villa. It was said that she had been unconscious for many days.
However, when she woke up from her coma, she remembered her lost memories and accurately recognized that Nan Xi was the person who saved her last time.
“Cute?” ‘”Don’t scare me if I don’t have enough culture,” Lin Chen said. “Can we not think of a more suitable word?”
Ever since he knew Nan Xi, that fellow’s temper had always been somewhat uncertain. How could he be so cute?
Xia Luobing smiled as she looked at the distant sky and frowned, “Is there really no signal here?”
She had been missing for many days. If she didn’t go back, those people in City A would probably die of anxiety. Huo Yunqi must be worried sick, and Duo Duo would definitely cry non-stop.
But since the first day she woke up, she had been told that there was no cell phone signal or internet signal in this place. Unless she left, this place was a completely isolated paradise.
“No.” Lin Chen shrugged helplessly. This was the 800th time Xia Luobing had asked.
Charlotte looked at her legs and asked, “Can you send me back? My family must be worried about my disappearance for so long.”
“No!”
Before Lin Chen could open his mouth, Nanxi had already walked over from another path with the fruit. After placing the fruit tray closest to Charlotte, he said bluntly, “You can’t go back!”
“Why?” Xia Luobing frowned and asked, her tone and complexion not good.
She always thought that Nan Xi was a good person, but every time he mentioned that he wanted to leave, he would immediately lose face.
“There’s no reason.” Nan Xi’s tone was tough. He looked at Lin Chen and warned, “You’d better remember what I said.”
With that, Nan Xi turned around and left. His tall and upright figure was bleak and lonely, as if he had endured thousands of years of sorrow.
“What happened to him? Did he take the wrong medicine?” Xia Luobing said hatefully, wishing he could tear the South Stream apart immediately.
Lin Chen shrugged and said he didn’t know what was wrong with him. “Perhaps I’m not in a good mood. I’ll go take a look.”
Looking at Lin Chen hurriedly chasing after him, Xia Luobing turned her wheelchair around and chased after him.
Nan Xi was standing beside the fountain when he saw Lin Chen and said, “How is her injury? Will there be any sequelae?”
“Are you looking down on my medical skills?” Lin Chen bluntly glared at Nan Xi and said with disdain, “I don’t even think about who saved you every time.”
Nanxi fell silent for a while before continuing, “When will her injuries fully recover?”
“Within a week.”
“A week?” Nanxi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed with disappointment, “So fast!”
The corner of Lin Chen’s mouth twitched. He patted Nan Xi’s shoulder in pain and said, “Since you like it, why didn’t you tell her? You can start a new life.”
Nanxi stretched out her fair and slender fingers at Lin Chen and suddenly smiled, “Look, these hands are already stained with blood donation. I have no chance to turn back.”
The wind blew the leaves rustling, like soft whispers between lovers, very pleasant to hear.
The dinner was very good. Xia Luobing sat in the restaurant and looked at the table full of food. He put his hand on his chin and smiled, “Lin Chen, not only did you have a good scalpel, you also had a good time with the kitchen knife.”
“Of course, you know by analogy!” Lin Chen rudely accepted all the praises from Xia Luobing and waved to Nanxi, who was going downstairs, “Hurry up and eat.”
He couldn’t help but feel pity for himself when he thought of how he was a master doctor, not only as a family doctor but also as a cook and butler. He was truly pitiful!
“I want to go out.” Nan Xi sat down and said, revealing her thin lips under the exquisite silver mask. When her lips touched, a hoarse and magnetic voice could be heard.
Xia Luobing took a sip of hot porridge and glanced at South Stream. “I always feel like we’ve known each other for a long time.”
Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Xia Luobing vigilantly. The corner of his eyes curled towards South Stream. Seeing that he was still eating seriously, he immediately felt that he was thinking too much.
“Three months isn’t long.” Nan Xi said indifferently. He placed the dishes on the plate in front of Xia Luobing and said, “Have a good meal.”
As long as Charlotte didn’t mention leaving this place, South Stream would always be kind and considerate to her.
“Nanxi? Your name is Nanxi.” Xia Luobing looked at the man’s left hand holding the chopsticks, her eyes flashing, “I know a boy named Nan Qi.”
The children of Nan Qi’s family were sorted together. Below him, there were two sisters from his uncle’s family. One was called Nan Ba, and the other was called Nan Jiu.
At that time, Nan Qidou Yacai always followed behind her like a loyal follower, so she naturally put him under her umbrella to protect him and not allow anyone to bully him at will.
However, when he graduated, Nan Qi lost the news. No one knew where he had gone. For this reason, Xia Luobing scolded him in her heart for being heartless.
Afterwards, she discovered many things in her life and gradually forgot about this person, thinking that he was living a good life somewhere.
“Nan Qi? A very strange name.” Nan Xi withdrew his chopsticks and said indifferently. His expression was very calm, but if he looked carefully, he could still see that his hands were trembling slightly.
Xia Luobing curled his lips, but there was no smile on his face. “Do you think there are two people in the world who not only have similar names, but also have identical scars?”
“Lin Chen, I want to talk to Luo Bing alone.” Nanxi said. Lin Chen nodded his head and left the restaurant. After walking a few steps, he looked back at the two of them worriedly. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and walked out.
Under the warm light, Xia Luobing ‘s face was glowing. She looked at the person opposite her and stretched out her hand to remove his mask.
“Don’t move!” Nanxi stopped Xia Luobing’s hand, and the corner of her mouth curled into bitterness, “Luo Bing, don’t move.”
Xia Luobing’s fingers could almost reach the mask on South Stream’s face, but seeing the plea in his eyes, her hands could no longer move at all.
His eyes were filled with bitterness, causing Xia Luobing to not have the heart to force him at all.
“Tell me, what happened?” Xia Luobing said in a low voice, “What happened to you?”
If it wasn’t for the scar on Nan Qi’s left hand, she wouldn’t have recognized him at first glance, but he had to admit it, and she didn’t dare to admit it.
In his memories, Nan Qi was thin and gentle. Although he was admitted to the police academy, when he laughed, he was always somewhat shy and scholarly. However, the man in front of him did not have any traces of the past. He was cold and noble, and he did not have any fireworks or warmth on his body.
“Sorry for hiding it from you for so long.” Nan Qi smiled at Xia Luobing and said, “You have indeed become an outstanding police officer.”
But when we meet again, I stand on your opposite side.
Xia Luobing was anxious, but she didn’t hurry. His instincts told her that Nan Qi had something to hide from her, and it was a very important matter.
“He treats you well.” Nan Qi smiled. The corner of his mouth curved into a beautiful smile, as if he was the innocent child from back then. “Then I can rest assured.”
Xia Luobing was stunned. Her professionalism allowed her to immediately analyze the meaning behind Nan Qi’s words: “You followed me.”
“Not counting tracking, I just want to know how you’re doing.” Nan Qi said frankly, his eyes as clear as before. “Originally, I had planned to have someone tie her up and beat her up if you weren’t doing well.”
Xia Luobing didn’t know what to say, but her mood relaxed a lot. “So you left me on the mountain to make Yunqi anxious?”
If that was the case, she really didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She had disappeared in the flood for so long, so many people probably thought that she had died, right?
“Are you angry?” Nan Qi smiled and said, “You were seriously injured.”
Charlotte nodded and took a sip. “Why are you wearing a mask?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Nan Qi’s smile stiffened. The atmosphere in the restaurant became silent and awkward.
“There was a fire at home and his face was burned.” Nan Qi explained. Seeing that Xia Luobing’s eyes revealed a smile that she couldn’t bear, she said, “Actually, it’s nothing. You shouldn’t have too much psychological burden.”
Xia Luobing glared at him, “Why didn’t you contact me after so many years? If you need my help, I will definitely rush to your side immediately.”
Nan Qi smiled and said, “Alright, I know. I will definitely look for you in the future if I encounter any trouble.”
No matter what, it was always a joyful thing to see each other again after a long separation.
At ten o’clock in the evening, at Nan Qi’s insistence, Xia Luobing had no choice but to eat and go back to his room to rest. He stood on the balcony of his bedroom and looked at the vast sea of stars without saying a word.
“She knows who you are.” Lin Chen opened his mouth and handed him the medicine and water. “It’s time to take the medicine!”
Nan Qi looked at the pile of colorful pills that Lin Chen had given him and pulled out a bitter smile. “You clearly know that you won’t be able to survive, but you still have to expend so much effort. Is it worth it?”
Lin Chen’s expression suddenly changed. He changed his usual gentle smile and said fiercely, “Take the medicine and live well! As long as I don’t want you to die, you will be able to live!”
“I see.” Nan Qi gulped down all the water in one gulp and gave it to Lin Chen again. After a moment of silence, he said, “Have you ever thought about your future life?”
Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Nan Qi and said, “Of course, I will go to Europe to buy a house and live a leisurely life.”
“Sorry, I’ve disturbed your peaceful life.” Nan Qi said slowly. After the matter was over, Lin Chen could only go abroad to ensure that he would remain calm for the rest of his life.
Lin Chen placed the cup on the table. After a moment of silence, he said, “Nan Qi, we’re still one short. We’re just one short.”
Nan Qi’s eyes flashed, as if he had seen the fire that had devoured all of his family members. In a single night, only his life was at stake in the huge family.
“Yeah, there’s still one last person left.” Nan Qi curled his lips.
