Chapter 12: Xiao Zhengnan’s Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the cemetery in the suburbs, there was a new grave beside Wen Lan’s grave.

Qin Xiao, Xiao Li, and many friends came to send Xiao Zhengnan off.

After the burial ceremony ended, everyone left, one after another, leaving only Qin Xiao and Xiao Li in front of the two graves.

The rain continued to fall. Qin Xiao stood beside Xiao Li with a black umbrella, constantly protecting her from the wind and rain…

Xiao Li stood quietly for a long time until the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed. There was even a rainbow hanging in the sky. Then she looked up at the sky…

“Qin Xiao, the sky is clear.

Dad should be reunited with Mom now!

He should be very happy! That’s why the sky is clear…”

As Xiao Li spoke, tears fell from her eyes. Even though she was looking up at the sky, she could not stop the tears from falling…

Qin Xiao silently reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Yes, Daddy is very happy now, so you shouldn’t be sad.”

Xiao Li nodded. “I know. Just let me cry one more time. I’ll never cry again.”

Qin Xiao nodded. “Okay…”

Xiao Li cried fiercely in Qin Xiao’s arms in front of the grave. When she was done crying, Qin Xiao brought her out of the cemetery.

Not long after they left, a limping figure appeared in front of Xiao Zhengnan’s grave. He gazed at Xiao Li and Qin Xiao like a poisonous snake.

A car slowly stopped inside the Qin family villa. Qin Xiao got out first and walked to the other side to open the passenger door. He carried Xiao Li, who had already fallen asleep, in his arms…

Xiao Li, who had not slept for a few days, was probably a little relieved after crying. She fell asleep on the way back from the cemetery.

Qin Xiao carried Xiao Li carefully out of the car to the bedroom on the second floor, just like he was hugging a national treasure.

The moment Xiao Li’s body touched the bed, she woke up in a daze. Seeing this, Qin Xiao said softly, “We’re already home. Go to sleep!”

Xiao Li closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Qin Xiao took off his jacket and lay down beside Xiao Li to rest…

Xiao Li slept until midnight. When she woke up, she was still in a daze and did not know where she was.

Qin Xiao also woke up immediately. “You’re awake. Are you hungry?”

Xiao Li shook her head and slowly sat up…

Qin Xiao turned on the small light in the room. Only then did Xiao Li realize where she was…

Seeing that Xiao Li was looking at the room, Qin Xiao said, “You were asleep then. This place is closer to the suburbs, so I brought you back here to sleep.”

Xiao Li nodded. She knew that Qin Xiao’s reason was not the real reason. He probably did not bring her back to the Xiao family home because he was afraid that she would be sad…

In order not to let Qin Xiao worry about her, Xiao Li pulled herself together. “Didn’t you just ask me if I was hungry?

I’m hungry.”

Qin Xiao chuckled when he heard that. “Then wait in the house for a while. I’ll go and get you something to eat…”

Xiao Li asked, “Are you doing the cooking?”

Qin Xiao had already gotten up and tidied his clothes. “Auntie Wu is already asleep at this time. If I tell her to get up and cook, it will take a longer time…

I’ll make you something simple to eat…”

Xiao Li nodded. “Okay…”

Qin Xiao went out. Xiao Li did not want to lie on the bed anymore. Thinking that it would take a while for Qin Xiao to cook something, she went to get her pajamas and took a shower…

Qin Xiao cooked some noodles and didn’t see anyone when he entered the room. Seeing that the bathroom door was closed, he knew that she had gone to take a shower.

When he reached the bathroom, Qin Xiao knocked lightly on the door. “Nini, are you almost done? I’ve cooked noodles. It doesn’t taste good if it’s soaked for too long…”

Xiao Li was showering when she heard this and quickly turned off the water. “I’m almost done. I’ll be right out…”

As she spoke, she grabbed a towel and wiped herself before changing into her clothes.

When she came out, her hair was still dripping wet and draped over her body…

When Qin Xiao heard the door open, he turned around and saw her coming out with wet hair. He immediately brought a dry towel over to wipe her…

Xiao Li said calmly, “There’s no need to wipe. In any case, I’m not going to bed yet…”

Qin Xiao brought her to the table and sat her down. “You’re a medical student yourself. Don’t you know it is bad not to dry your hair?”

Xiao Li said reluctantly, “Then I’ll wipe it myself…”

As Xiao Li spoke, she reached out to take the towel. Qin Xiao pressed her hand down. “I’ll wipe it. You eat the noodles. If you don’t, the noodles will become soggy.”

Xiao Li picked up her chopsticks and ate slowly…

As Xiao Li lowered her head to eat her noodles, Qin Xiao stood behind her and wiped her hair. If he lowered his head slightly, he could see her sexy body from the neckline of her pajamas…

Qin Xiao suppressed his racing heart and wiped Xiao Li’s hair until it was completely dry before saying, “Leave the bowl after you’ve finished eating. I’ll clean it up later…”

I’m going to take a shower too…”

Xiao Li nodded as she ate her noodles…

Qin Xiao turned around and took a set of clothes before going to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

After Xiao Li finished eating the noodles, she saw that Qin Xiao had yet to come out, so she brought the bowls and chopsticks to the first floor.

After washing the dishes and putting them away, Xiao Li was about to go to the second floor when she saw the study room on the first floor near the staircase. She stopped…

That study room was the room where she, Xiao Li, had stayed in the Qin family in her previous life. It was also the place where she had died together with Qin Xiao.

In her previous life, after Qin Xiao brought Xiao Li into the Qin family, he had originally placed her in his room. At that time, her clothes and things occupied every corner of the second floor, like in this life.

However, Xiao Li was unwilling to live with Qin Xiao. As Xiao Li had mobility issues at that time, Qin Xiao got someone to convert the study room on the first floor into her room.

After Xiao Li moved into the room on the first floor, Qin Xiao did not stay on the second floor anymore. He moved into the small servant room originally occupied by Auntie Wu, which was beside the study room on the first floor.

On the second floor, Qin Xiao came out of the cold shower and saw that there was no one in the room. He guessed that Xiao Li had gone to the first floor and came downstairs.

When he got downstairs, he saw Xiao Li standing there foolishly. He quickly walked over. “Nini, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Li came back to her senses and replied, “You’re done bathing.”

Qin Xiao nodded. “What are you doing here?”

Xiao Li shook her head. “Nothing. I was thinking about something. Let’s go up!”

Qin Xiao nodded and held Xiao Li’s hand as they went upstairs.

The moment she went upstairs, Xiao Li glanced at the study room again. Just remain as a study room for the rest of your life!

When she returned to the second floor, she was not able to fall asleep because she had just woken up. Xiao Li decided to chat with Qin Xiao.

“Qin Xiao, let’s go back to the Xiao residence tomorrow!”

I want to go and help Auntie Xu and the others get settled.”

The Xiao family did not hire many servants. There was Auntie Xu, Uncle Geng, and Xiao Zhengnan’s chauffeur, Master Zhang.

Xiao Li had planned to return to S City to study, so she had to make arrangements for the other members of the Xiao family.
