Chapter 17 Li Jinxi's Confession
Lan Yaoxia had been in the study for a long time. It was not until nearly five o'clock in the evening that Li Jinxi hesitantly knocked on the half-open door.
After hearing the knock on the door, Lan Yaoxia slowly raised his head. When he saw Li Jinxi standing at the door, he was slightly stunned.
She looked extremely tired, as if she had gone through a long and difficult ideological struggle.
Even Lan Yaoxia, who always had a cold face towards Li Jinxi, couldn't help but show a hint of concern at this moment: "What's wrong?"
Li Jinxi's voice was low and a little frustrated. She said slowly: "Remember? We said before that we would have a good talk after returning from Linhai City. But since we came back, too many things have happened, and we haven't found a chance to sit down and talk..."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "It just so happens that we are both at home today, and I want to talk to you."
Lan Yaoxia looked at Li Jinxi's tired face, and her heart softened. She responded softly, "Okay, come in."
Li Jinxi walked into the study room with heavy and slow steps, slowly sat down beside the bed, and opened her lips slightly: "Husband, I...I..." However, after a long while, she still couldn't finish her words.
At this moment, Li Jinxi suddenly sobbed softly, and tears flowed out like a dam breaking.
Instantly, Lan Yaoxia's heart suddenly tugged, and she stood up hastily, walked quickly towards Li Jinxi, and gently placed her hands on her shoulders, and then half-crouched and appeared in front of her. This ordinary and commonplace action gave Li Jinxi great comfort.
Lan Yaoxia gently wiped away the tears that kept flowing from Li Jinxi's eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong? This is..."
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, Li Jinxi finally calmed down.
She tightly grasped Lan Yaoxia's hand, her eyes full of heartbreaking sadness and fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, it's not that I don't want to have a baby, but I'm really too scared..."
Tears slid down her pale cheeks, as if every tear carried endless painful memories. "My mother's body was severely damaged when she gave birth to me. She almost didn't make it..."
"My mother often told me about this when I was a child. The feeling of being on the brink of life and death was as if I had experienced it myself."
"So every time I think about the torture of giving birth, I tremble all over and can't breathe..."
Having said this, her emotions completely broke down and she burst into tears, hugging Lan Yaoxia tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to draw a little warmth and comfort from him.
Lan Yaoxia was stunned by this sudden scene and was at a loss for a moment.
He widened his eyes, trying to digest what Li Jinxi had just said, secretly wondering whether these were the real situation or excuses she made up.
After all, according to the original plot setting, the original body would die in a tragic car accident at the end of this year. Two years later, Li Jinxi would marry Gu Yannian and give birth to a son and a daughter in the next two years.
Thinking of this, Lan Yaoxia felt more and more suspicious. Could it be that everything Li Jinxi showed now was fake? Was it just to delay time or find other better solutions?
All kinds of thoughts flooded into Lan Yaoxia's mind, causing her to fall into deep confusion.
Finally, after some inner struggle, Lan Yaoxia decided to give Li Jinxi some comfort and consolation. The two lay quietly on the bed, hugging each other tightly.
While Lan Yaoxia was gently patting and caressing Li Jinxi's back, Li Jinxi was perhaps really too tired and slowly fell asleep in Lan Yaoxia's warm embrace.
Lan Yaoxia stared silently out the window. In the pitch-black scene, suddenly a few raindrops hit the window violently.
Then, a torrential rain suddenly hit like a surging wave. At this moment, Du Yujie did not hesitate to curse in the group: "What the hell is going on? Is the weather forecast a lie? It clearly said that it would not rain in the next three days, what is going on now!"
Li Keyi also quickly responded in the group: "It's raining so hard, what's the point of playing!"
"Guys like this who cause trouble should be dragged out and severely criticized. The damn weather changes at any time!" Du Yujie continued to complain indignantly.
After Du Yujie and Li Keyi’s scolding, the night fishing activity had to be cancelled.
Not long after, Lan Yaoxia was probably too sleepy, and before they knew it, they both fell asleep in bed.
As the night deepened and it was almost midnight, Lan Yaoxia slowly woke up from her sleep.
She moved her body cautiously, but she didn't expect that this slight movement would wake up Li Jinxi beside her.
Lan Yaoxia reached out and groped in the darkness, finding and lighting the small lamp on the bedside. The sudden strong light made it difficult for both of them to adapt for a while, and their eyes were stung and hurt.
Li Jinxi subconsciously closed her eyes again, and at the same time hugged Lan Yaoxia tightly in her arms again, and whispered: "Hold me a little longer..." As if only in this way could she feel a little warmth and comfort.
At the same time, Gu Yannian in the hospital was quietly looking at the heavy rain outside the window. At this moment, his heart was filled with endless loneliness and desolation, so he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and dial Li Jinxi's number, but the response he got was "The number you dialed is turned off, please call again later."
Hearing this prompt tone, Gu Yannian's already depressed mood became even heavier. He hung up the phone silently, then put the phone back in its place with a gloomy expression, and finally curled up in the quilt like a wounded animal.
In a luxury hotel by the sea, heavy rain was pouring down, making it extremely dangerous to go out to sea. Therefore, Du Yujie decided to lead several beauties to the entertainment floor to enjoy playing billiards together.
Du Yujie showed his extraordinary skills, and every time he successfully hit the ball into the pocket, he would receive cheers and praises from the beauties. He fully exerted his strength and immersed himself in this happy atmosphere.
At the same time, Li Keyi could only stay in the villa helplessly, drinking to drown his sorrows alone.
After a long night, the rain still did not stop, as if it would never stop. The weather forecast even showed that it would be cloudy and rainy for the whole week.
Du Yujie looked at the rain outside the window, his face showing a desperate and helpless expression. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he quickly picked up his phone and shouted in the group: "Brothers, are there any other activities or festivals that can be arranged? It's impossible to go out to sea on this damn rainy day."
His tone was first full of frustration, but then became more anxious.
Apparently, for this avid fisherman, being stuck indoors for a week straight was pure torture for his leisure time.
