Chapter 38 Cold War
That's right, trouble.
Kong Nanzhu's emotions at the moment were so strong that Qin Qi was a little overwhelmed. He didn't even dare to look into Kong Nanzhu's eyes. He had never read such a strange, hurt and broken feeling in Kong Nanzhu's eyes. Overnight, she seemed like a withered flower, her whole body was shaky and seemed like she would fall down at the slightest touch.
Kong Nanzhu was a little emotional. "Qin Qi, this is not a trivial matter like an injury on the set or a scandal. Someone wants to harm you. Why did Shen Xiaomin come to you crying and asking you to save her? You should at least tell me what happened. I am an outsider, but I am your wife. You can't just use me as a tool to vent your anger and then walk away."
Hearing this, Qin Qi looked at Kong Nanzhu with an incredible look. This was the first time that Kong Nanzhu showed such strong emotions in front of him, and also the first time that he said such heavy words.
"I've never thought of it this way. Why do you think so?" Qin Qi pulled a bath towel around his waist and walked towards her. After Kong Nanzhu saw his intention, she walked around the sofa and took several steps back.
Qin Qi must have wanted to comfort her with a hug, or he must have wanted to do as he did before they got married, when he found out that she was angry he would immediately show weakness and please her, teasing her like a pet, but he didn't care at all whether she was really wronged or not.
She knew that normal couples or lovers don't get along like this, but she was just unrequited in love at that time.
I'm secretly in love with him, giving without asking for anything in return. I'm already very satisfied as long as we can maintain a close brother-sister relationship. Why would I still have any demands on him?
As long as Qin Qi is ok with everything, Kong Nanzhu is fine with everything.
The sweetness during this period made Kong Nanzhu have more expectations for their relationship. She expected Qin Qi to give her more respect and no longer make everything centered on him. However, the way of getting along that had been developed over the years could not be reversed overnight.
But it was clearly Qin Qi who gave her this illusion.
After the scandal with Du Ran happened, Qin Qi's actions were like a key that opened the door to their emotional world.
What happened today was like a cold slap in the face, shattering Kong Nanzhu's beautiful dream.
Qin Qi's outstretched hand froze in the air.
Kong Nanzhu's eyes stung his nerves.
Why is there a defensive look in her eyes?
"I will definitely give you an explanation, but not now."
Kong Nanzhu closed her eyes, her voice filled with tears. Right now, she needed to solve the most critical problem first. "You can have your own plans, and I can promise you not to tell my parents."
She took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, "Do I need to take medicine?"
Qin Qi's pupils fluttered, and his gaze fell on Kong Nanzhu's flat belly.
Only then did he realize what a serious mistake he had made.
Qin Qi forgot to breathe, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. This was also the first time he faced such a question. He asked Kong Nanzhu blankly, "Do you think it is necessary?"
At the end of November, the nights in Beijing turned chilly.
Kong Nanzhu dragged his suitcase and took a taxi to the downstairs of Xu Qingqing's apartment.
She felt uneasy in Lihua Garden and really didn't want to be alone. She needed someone to accompany her.
"Go downstairs and open the door for me."
Xu Qingqing was wearing a facial mask and watching a TV series when Kong Nanzhu suddenly appeared at her doorstep without a word. She was still wondering, but when she opened the door to the corridor, she was startled, "What's wrong with you? Your dark circles are almost falling below your nasolabial folds. You are not visiting the set, you are going to work the night shift."
Xu Qingqing originally wanted to make a joke, but she found that Kong Nanzhu was full of sadness.
After returning home, Xu Qingqing took a cup of hot milk and asked Kong Nanzhu to hold it to warm her hands. "What happened?"
Kong Nanzhu looked at the milk in her hand but didn't dare to drink it. She forgot to ask the drugstore salesperson whether she needed to avoid certain foods when taking emergency contraceptive pills.
The warm touch in her palm made her eyes hot. Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Qingqing took off her mask and hugged her, "Hurry up and say something. It's so frustrating. Did you two have a fight?"
Leaning against Xu Qingqing's coral fleece bear pajamas, Kong Nanzhu began to cry quietly.
After venting his emotions, Kong Nanzhu said aggrievedly, "He didn't take any measures. I took medicine."
Thousands of thoughts merged into one sentence, and even Kong Nanzhu herself didn't know how to start. She had to consider Qin Qi's reputation, and it seemed that this was the only private sentence she could say.
Xu Qingqing was furious, "Huh? Is he crazy? How can he be so reckless? The medicine has so many side effects afterwards, and you don't plan to have a child now, how can you agree to him?"
Kong Nanzhu lowered his head and said nothing. Xu Qingqing was angry at him for not fighting back, but she felt sorry for him. "Did they quarrel over this?"
Kong Nanzhu nodded.
I guess so.
"This is his fault, you stinky man, don't want him anymore. I envied you two for living such a beautiful life, but I didn't expect Qin Qi to be such an irresponsible stinky scum." Xu Qingqing always scolded people with sincerity, "You didn't tell his mother... didn't you tell your parents?"
"He was drunk and he didn't even know it." Kong Nanzhu really wanted to slap herself twice. She was actually still defending him for such a thing.
Xu Qingqing had a look of disappointment and rolled her eyes. "Yes, he was drunk and didn't know anything. Don't you know anything either? You should just kick him off the bed and let him sleep on the floor. You actually indulged him. He is your husband now, your man, not your brother. I've heard of people doting on their brothers and sisters, but I've never heard of people doting on their husbands. You better understand this, sister. In the end, you will be the one who suffers."
Kong Nanzhu covered his ears and said, "Don't talk about me anymore. I didn't sleep all night last night. I was so annoyed, and you are still mean to me!"
Xu Qingqing pried her hands apart, "You have to tell me what you want to tell me. If I don't, you won't learn your lesson. Remember, you must leave him alone this time. When he completely reflects on himself and begs you on his knees, you can forgive him. Do you hear me?"
Kong Nanzhu lay in Xu Qingqing's arms, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
This was just a small part of what happened last night that Xu Qingqing was told. In her eyes, Qin Qi had already been labeled a scumbag.
If she knew what she had really experienced, she would probably have to drag her and Qin Qi to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
"You need to have a good rest these days and take more vitamin C. You are a beauty blogger. Look at yourself in the mirror and see if you still want your face." Xu Qingqing nags like an old mother. "Are you hungry? You didn't come here as soon as you got off the plane. I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
Kong Nanzhu took the tissue handed to her by Xu Qingqing and wiped the tears from her face. She felt very embarrassed. Before they got the marriage certificate, she and Xu Qingqing were like inseparable conjoined twins, sticking together all day long. In recent times, she hardly cared about Xu Qingqing's situation. Now, after quarreling with her husband, she came to her to complain as if she was fleeing with her luggage.
The damage caused by love actually needs to be healed by the energy of friendship.
Originally, Kong Nanzhu didn't feel hungry at all, but after Xu Qingqing said that, she realized that after a whole day of hard work, she only bought a bag of soda crackers at the airport and ate two bites after taking the medicine to prevent nausea, and didn't eat a meal at all.
While Qin Qi was taking a shower in the bathroom, she dragged her suitcase out of the hotel, hailed a taxi and went directly to the airport. She bought medicine at the convenient pharmacy at the airport and took it with mineral water.
When buying medicine, she wore sunglasses, as if she had done something wrong and was caught. She didn't even dare to look at the shopping guide's eyes, for she was afraid that the other person would look at her strangely.
Qin Qi called her more than ten times in a row but she didn't answer. She didn't turn on her phone after landing, and it is still turned off.
She did not report her safety to Qin's father and mother. Qin Qi was right. She could not hide the truth in front of these two elderly people and would only cause trouble to everyone. They probably did not know that she had returned to Beijing. Qin Qi would not be stupid enough to fall into the trap and call Shen Jun to confirm whether she had returned.
Let's just leave it at that, calm down for a while, it'll be good for both of us.
