Ten minutes ago, in the second bedroom.
After Yan Yincheng left, the old bullet wound on his body kept floating in Xu Zixi's mind. This wound made her heart ache slightly.
He was only six years old! He was so young but had to go through such a thing. At that time, he was far from being as mature and capable as he was now. His senses hadn't been systematically trained yet. When he got injured, he must have been very scared inside, right?
However, she was also a bit hesitant. Could it be that he made up this story just to achieve his goal? Maybe he wanted to make her feel heart - broken so that she would willingly fall into his arms.
Given this old fox's scheming, it was indeed possible.
Forget it. Anyway, it was most important to accompany the kids tonight.
At this moment, Yuan Xiaoxuan's voice came from beside her. "Mummy, what is a gunshot wound?"
Facing the curious and inquisitive eyes of the two kids, Xu Zixi didn't know how to explain. She could only say, "It's a very, very painful wound that will make a lot of blood flow."
Yuan Xiaoxuan was scared. His face was full of pity. "Daddy is so pitiful. Why does he always get hurt?" At this moment, he made a decision in his little heart.
He said, "Mummy, go and accompany Daddy. Xiaoxuan and little brother can sleep together." Then he turned to Yuan Xiaoxu and asked, "Little brother, is that okay?"
Xu Zixi thought that with Yuan Xiaoxu's personality, he wouldn't agree. But unexpectedly, he answered very cheerfully, "Yeah, okay. Mummy, go and accompany Daddy. Xiaoxu has big brother, Lanlan and Dayu! Xiaoxu can do it!"
Yan Yincheng had won the hearts of the two kids with a super - cool and unique gift tonight. Coupled with the fact that they had just seen many wounds on Yan Yincheng, the kids' hearts had tilted towards their poor daddy.
Xu Zixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't answer, but the two kids jumped out of the bed in a hurry, pushed and shoved her out, saying, "Mummy, go and accompany Daddy!"
Then they waved their hands and said, "Mummy, come on!"
After that, they "banged" the door shut.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Zixi looked at Yan Yincheng's room not far away. After thinking for a while, she walked over with a determined look on her face, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
...
"Boom!" It seemed that the weather in Haicheng had changed again. It seemed to be raining outside the window. The strong wind blew across the sea, making the sound of the waves a bit more urgent. Standing close to the window, one could hear the sound of the waves hitting the shore. If there was a ship on the sea, one would surely worry that it might break in the middle the next second, and one couldn't help but worry about the safety of the sailors on board.
When the sun shone brightly on the sea and the sky was clear, the vastness of the sea was enough to soothe all people's worries.
But when the weather changed, the sea became a monster with huge power.
The balcony of the master bedroom was separated by glass. The rain was pattering on the glass, leaving winding traces on it.
There was a small table beside it, on which a small orange night - light was shining. There were two goblets next to it, filled with the best - quality red wine.
Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng were sitting opposite each other, sipping their wine and chatting while listening to the sound of the wind, rain and waves outside the window.
"Zixi, tell me more about your past life," Yan Yincheng said.
"What do you want to know, Brother Cheng?" Xu Zixi asked with a smile.
"I want to know how you came up with the idea of engaging in biopharmaceutical research. What do you usually do in the laboratory? What kind of people are in your team? What drugs have you researched?"
Xu Zixi recalled her past and told him slowly.
"I still remember that it was the summer vacation of my freshman year in college. Our school organized everyone to go to a remote mountainous area for volunteer teaching. You know, as a rich young lady, I had only lived in Beijing and its surrounding areas."
"The name of the destination was very beautiful. It was called Weilan. I thought it must be a very beautiful place. Since I was bored with living in Beijing, I signed up."
"After I got there, I found that it was really beautiful. However, the lives of the people there were not so wonderful..."
The people there had been troubled by genetic diseases for generations. The oldest among them couldn't live past 50 years old, and the youngest died of the disease when they were only a few months old. But they had no choice but to pass the disease on from generation to generation.
Such a gray and hopeless world was something she had never experienced before. After she went back, she sat in her several - thousand - square - meter mansion. Looking up at the house that could provide a carefree life for many people for a lifetime, she thought for a long, long time.
Finally, she went to the school to go through the formalities for dropping out.
On the day when she dropped out, the school principal and the dean of academic affairs were extremely nervous. They thought there was a problem with the school that made her leave.
After she told them her plan, the principal held her hand and sighed, saying that she would always be an outstanding student of Beijing University and they would always welcome her back.
Later, she took the college entrance examination again and was admitted to a medical college in Beijing. At that time, she was only 16 years old.
She completed the five - year medical college curriculum in three years. While others were just entering college, she had been successfully recommended for postgraduate study; while others were still worried about their graduation theses and losing their hair, she had already become a doctor, and her thesis had won an international award.
"As for my team, they are all cute, kind and pure people. They all have the most sincere hearts that want to contribute to others. Actually, I miss them very much. But now that I've come here, the most important things for me are you and the two kids."
The more he listened, the more moved he became. Her arrival seemed to bring some sparkle to his once - empty eyes.
It was as if a ray of light had shone in.
No one knew that when this extremely handsome and cold face with no desires showed different expressions, it was like a god falling into the mortal world, like the purest white wall gradually being painted with a beautiful picture, which could make any woman in the world fall in love with him.
Just like drinking the strongest wine, she was deeply fascinated by him. So she couldn't help but lean over and gently kiss his somewhat hazy eyes, with the most pious and pure love.
I've come to this world, and he is mine, she thought.
One day, I will make his eyes only look at me, and there will only be my figure in them.
The wind and rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the world returned to silence. The lonely traveler from the other world nestled in the man's reliable and steady embrace like a mountain and fell into a deep sleep.
And the mountain holding her whispered in her ear with a mellow and loving voice.
"... I love you, Zixi."
