He was a little hesitant to take the initiative to recall what happened on this day. His emotions had experienced unprecedented ups and downs. If this happened every day, Qin Nan had no doubt that his life would be short-lived. However, one thing that is certain is that Qin Bei is in love.
Hers, that's enough.
Maybe when he goes back, he will become what he was before, and continue to be lukewarm to me, but what does it matter? One day like this is enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.
I took a hot bath and forced myself not to think about Qin Bei, but my nerves seemed to be against me. I was tossing and turning in bed, so excited that I simply put on a long silk shirt and sat on the window sill to watch.
Night scene, because this is the most common method used by Qin Nan to deal with insomnia. Although it is not a panacea, it can only be like this.
Qin Nan's room faces the seaside. Because of the moonlight and the lights projected from the windows of the seaside hotel, the beach is not very dark. Instead, it looks very peaceful and exudes an alluring darkness, coupled with the gentle sound of the waves.
Suddenly, Qin Nan felt an unprecedented yearning. At this moment, nature was waiting for her return with open arms, and how could she resist it.
He went as he was told, wrapped a thin shawl around his big shirt, and walked out of the room barefoot.
Although it is almost November, the night in Gulangyu Island is not very cold. Stepping barefoot on the beach, the soft touch makes people feel that the night has even become gentle.
He headed towards the rock that he had spotted in front of the room window. When he got there, he realized that there was already a person sitting under it. Qin Nan didn't take a closer look and wanted to go around it, not wanting to disturb him. As a result,
The person spoke first: "Nannan, is that you?"
It's Qin Bei.
Qin Nan stood still.
"Come here." Qin Bei's voice was not high, but it was a command tone that could not be resisted. That unique baritone turned into an out-and-out trap with the accompaniment of the waves this night, making people unable to help themselves despite knowing the danger.
He had to devote himself to it, and Qin Nan at this moment was no exception.
Her legs moved her body towards him uncontrollably, as if she was hypnotized.
As soon as he reached Qin Bei's side, he was pulled by him and fell into his arms without any preparation. The shawl slipped from his shoulders and was blown into the sea by the wind.
Feeling the rise and fall of his chest and the powerful heartbeat, Qin Nan didn't dare to move, let alone struggle, because she knew that a man at night, especially this man at this moment, was nothing more than a ferocious beast that could leap up at any time.
, engulfing oneself completely.
"Don't be nervous, talk to me." Perhaps sensing Qin Nan's stiffness, Qin Bei changed his voice to a gentler tone and comforted him. However, to Qin Nan, it sounded like another, more deadly danger. This man
, don’t you know that gentleness is more lethal?
"Why can't I find you? How did you do it?" Qin Nan left for a few years, and her file stayed in the College of Liberal Arts for a few years. It did not show any information about her whereabouts, and the college
The office told him that this was just a student whose files had been filed but had not been reported. Qin Bei had trouble with them several times because of this, even though he knew it was not his fault.
"It's easy..." Qin Nan said lazily.
"I almost went to all the universities in the United States to inquire about you... The last one I went to was Boston University, and by then I had given up hope..." Qin Bei has always regretted that he did not persist until the end, and it was also because he did not believe in Qin Nan.
After being able to apply to this school, he has always set his sights on attending a state university.
"I know."
"you know?"
"Well, you gave an English speech about modernism. The title is difficult to pronounce when translated into Chinese." Perhaps after chatting for a few insignificant words, Qin Nan's sense of danger relaxed, his body also relaxed, and he instinctively chose
He made a comfortable posture and leaned into Qin Bei's arms.
"you……"
"I listened to that speech, and I was right below." Qin Nan confessed honestly.
Qin Bei stared down at Qin Nan in disbelief for a few seconds, and finally let out a long sigh: "It seems you are really cold-blooded."
"I passed out later and was sent to the hospital." Qin Nan recalled lightly, thinking of Bernard by the way.
When Qin Bei heard this, he subconsciously hugged Qin Nan tightly, and felt a little better at the same time. She still cared about him at that time.
"You know what? I always thought that you chose to sacrifice us because you fulfilled that person, but now I see, maybe I was wrong." Qin Bei's discovery came from Qin Nan's speech in the morning, and it was precisely because of this speech
, he finally understood a side of her character that he had never known.
"..." Qin Nan said nothing, waiting for him to continue.
"You did this entirely because of your arrogance, the arrogance in your bones... Don't move, listen to me." Qin Nan looked up at Qin Bei with questions, but Qin Bei pushed him back.
"You can't tolerate others getting involved in or even liking your things. Even though nothing has changed about that thing, you don't even allow others to share it with you in your heart. You would rather choose to throw it away, and I am your thing.
Isn’t it?”
Qin Nan listened quietly, and she took it in and even began to reflect.
"Because today I discovered that as long as you insist on something, it is difficult for others to change easily, not even your sister, unless you want to give up..."
"You still can't accept the fact that you saw Zheng Fang and I in the same bed, even though you believe in your heart that nothing happened to us, and this is all my fault. If I didn't drink so much, if I insisted on just
Qiao Qian gave me a gift, if I can firmly drive her away immediately..."
"Perhaps, the following things would not have happened..." Qin Bei's voice fluctuated slightly, and it could be heard that he had been regretting this incident all these years, and he has not let go of himself until now.
"Bei, stop talking." Qin Nan struggled to escape. Qin Bei's words made her uneasy, very uneasy.
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Stay with me for a while, please..." Qin Bei did not let go of Qin Nan, but increased the strength on his hand, but there was a hint of begging in his voice.
Seeing that Qin Nan couldn't struggle, he had no choice but to calm down and accept his fate. However, he felt a small hard object hit him on his back. Driven by curiosity, he turned around to check and saw something inside Qin Bei's open collar.
A touch of metallic luster loomed, and I couldn't help but reach out and take out the little thing. In the moonlight, I finally saw what it was, and immediately took out what I was wearing. I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a while.
The one Qin Bei is wearing is the other half of the broken apple, which happens to be a complete apple when combined with the one Qin Nan is wearing.
