Chapter 428: There’s No Need, Nan Jin
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Hao realized that the smile on Nan Jin’s face seemed to have increased recently.
He didn’t know when it started, but when he returned home and saw Nan Jin at home and even cooking sometimes, he suddenly felt that something was different.
Even Nan Xuan, who had always been the busiest, could sense the changes in Nan Jin.
For this, Nan Xuan specially found a time to talk to Nan Jin.
“You’ve been in a good mood recently,” Nan Xuan asked.
With his understanding of Nan Jin, he could guess that it had something to do with Murong Qiao.
Nan Jin was stunned. “Is it that obvious?”
He didn’t realize it himself. Nan Xuan raised his eyebrows and nodded in affirmation.
Compared to the depressed him before, Nan Jin seemed to have become a different person.
“Don’t forget what you said before. We won’t disturb her,” Nan Xuan reminded.
He looked at Nan Jin very seriously. When he said this softly, he seemed to be reminding himself.
It was Nan Jin and Nan Xuan who had decided not to disturb their Little Sister’s beautiful life.
“I know. I just… visit her occasionally.” Nan Jin touched the tip of his nose.
Occasionally. Nan Jin said this word without any guilt on his face.
He only lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something. His brows furrowed and relaxed at times. In the end, he sighed.
“I just… feel that if I died early from illness and ended my life like this, it would be too lousy.”
Nan Jin suddenly said.
This sentence was light and couldn’t be considered weighted. When it was said, the tone was mixed and sounded more like a murmur.
Nan Xuan looked at Nan Jin deeply and could hear the reluctance in his words.
These words were like a switch that opened the box of words that Nan Jin had no one to confide in recently.
He didn’t look at Nan Xuan. He only looked at a certain spot in the air and spoke slowly.
“If I die and don’t even know if Little Sister was been bullied in the future, I’ll die of anger.” Nan Jin joked.
During this period of time, sending his Little Sister home secretly had also made Nan Jin understand many things, including living well.
Nan Jin smiled self-deprecatingly. “I’m indeed not as strong as the Murong Family. I can’t provide Qiaoqiao with shelter and the best living environment. But occasionally… I want to do my best to protect her.”
Just like sending her home now.
“In any case, it’s fine as long as I see her happy from afar. Nothing else is important,” Nan Jin concluded.
Nan Jin smiled and exhaled, looking much more relaxed.
It was rare for someone to hear him say these words. Nan Jin felt terrible holding it in during this period of time.
Nan Xuan was silent for a while after hearing this, but it was not to Nan Jin. He suddenly thought of Nan Kang.
Previously, Nan Kang had called him a few times, so Nan Xuan simply blocked the other party. However, he had a bad feeling now, as if something bad was about to happen.
Two days ago, he had planned to go back and see what was going on with Nan Kang. After all, he was his father. No matter how heartless he was when they quarreled that day, Nan Xuan wouldn’t really be that ruthless.
He thought that if Nan Kang really couldn’t survive, he could also take out some money to help.
However, after asking the neighbors, he found out that Nan Kang had gone around tipping like a nouveau riche a few days after he left. He threw the money out like it was nothing.
The supermarket owner even said, “He’s become much more confident when he comes to buy beer these few days. He even specially chose the most expensive ones. I wonder where he got so much money. Tsk tsk…”
Nan Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
He turned around and came back to his senses. He glanced at Nan Jin and couldn’t help but remind him.
“It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing. Also… be careful of Nan Kang these days. Don’t answer his calls.”
During the next few days of escorting, Nan Jin could be said to have memorized Murong Qiao’s route home.
He could almost memorize a few traffic lights before turning. He also knew that his Little Sister would occasionally cross the road and take a slightly longer detour to buy her favorite cake from a dessert shop that she liked very much.
But Nan Jin was not a professional. Murong Qiao saw him at the gate several times.
No matter how slow a person was, they should have realized that something was wrong, let alone Murong Qiao, who was sharp and meticulous. After observing for a while and walking on an unfamiliar path, she would catch a glimpse of Nan Jin.
Hence, Murong Qiao took the initiative to talk to him after school today.
“Nan Jin.” She called out to Nan Jin, who was about to turn around and leave.
Nan Jin was forced to stop in his tracks and turned back to look at his Little Sister. He touched his nose awkwardly and guiltily.
Murong Qiao went straight to the point. “If you come over every day because I paid for the surgery previously, there’s no need.”
“Nan Xuan had already returned the money for the surgery. At that time, I only helped because I didn’t want to see a person die. You don’t have to… come here every day like this.”
She paused at the end and stopped.
Murong Qiao didn’t like Nan Jin being like this. To be precise, she had long cut off her connection with the Nan family in her heart, so when she saw that Nan Jin still treated her like his Little Sister and treated her well, all these actions gave her a headache.
Murong Qiao’s expression was tense. “I have nothing to do with the Nan family anymore. You don’t have to treat me as your Little Sister at all. I’ll treat what happened before as the past.
There’s no need to do this, Nan Jin.
It’s best if we treat each other as strangers,” Murong Qiao said.
She stood in front of Nan Jin but lowered her eyes. She couldn’t meet Nan Jin’s gaze. Her eyes were pitch-black, making it impossible to tell what emotions and thoughts she was hiding.
Nan Jin immediately replied, “Alright.”
He nodded obediently, as if he had listened to Murong Qiao.
His expression was sincere enough. His eyes even curved a little to show his joy.
It wasn’t easy for him to have a few words with his Little Sister, so Nan Jin was naturally happy.
Murong Qiao didn’t expect Nan Jin to agree so readily. She was stunned and looked at Nan Jin in shock. Her gaze swept across his expression as she studied it. After a moment of silence, she nodded.
“Alright, I’ll leave then.” She turned around and left without any hesitation.
Since she had already said it and Nan Jin had agreed, Murong Qiao didn’t intend to talk to him anymore.
Moreover, the two of them had nothing to say to each other.
However, this time, Nan Jin waited for Murong Qiao to walk very far before following. He was very familiar with the path.
But this time, when he followed her, Nan Jin paid more attention to his presence to avoid being discovered by Murong Qiao again.
Nan Jin had already decided on protecting Murong Qiao. After knowing that she had secretly taken care of him, Nan Jin’s mind was filled with thoughts of treating his Little Sister well.
After Murong Qiao finished speaking, she prepared to go home.
Nan Jin had agreed well just now, so she didn’t think too much about it. She only thought that the other party had also returned home.
It was a ten-minute walk home from Hui University. Murong Qiao was still thinking of going to see if the dessert shop was still open.
Recently, An Nuo had been working quite hard on filming and had to specially maintain her figure and control her weight. Now that it’s over, she could celebrate with the other party and buy An Nuo’s favorite mango flavor…
As Murong Qiao was calculating in her heart, she heard approaching footsteps behind her. However, there was no one on the street at this time. The other party was clearly coming for her in such a hurry.
She turned around in confusion, but her mouth was suddenly covered and she was pushed into the alley beside her.
“Behave yourself!” the man said fiercely.
Murong Qiao’s head hit the wall hard. Her vision darkened before she adapted to the darkness of the alley and recognized the person in front of her.
Nan Kang?!
