"Mom, you … thank you, mom. I … I'm sorry for talking to you like that just now!"
Ling Yun apologized with a little shame. She knew that her mother did it for her own good, but she could not accept the so-called happiness imposed on her.
But this was good. At least her mother had finally been persuaded. She would no longer oppose her being with Ding Ning. But, would Ding Ning forgive her?
Alas, if she had made up her mind earlier, maybe her mother would have accepted Ding Ning long ago.
Chu Yunxiu stroked Ling Yun's hair and sighed quietly. It was true that a grown girl could not be controlled by her mother.
She suddenly had a sense of relief after losing and regaining. Perhaps, as her daughter said, happiness was sometimes so simple.
Chu Yunxiu still failed to resist Ling Yun's insistence to stay in Ding Ning's room. She had no choice but to go back to rest.
Sitting at the table, Ling Yun did not mind that the dishes were cold. While eating, she recalled the bits and pieces of their time together. This was the birthday party Ding Ning prepared for her. Every bite of the dishes was full of Ding Ning's affection for her. She did not want to waste it.
She picked up the phone several times and wanted to dial the familiar number, but in the end, she did not have the courage to do so.
She did not know how to explain to Ding Ning. It was not so easy to persuade such a stubborn guy.
Ding Ning was not as lost as Liu Junwei imagined. He did not go to the bar to get drunk and showed no signs of decadence and depravity. He found an express hotel to stay expressionlessly.
This made Liu Junwei a little unwilling. Did he not really like Ling Yun? Why did he not act according to the script he imagined after he found out that he had been betrayed?
This made his plan to find a woman to sleep with and then take pictures of Ding Ning when he was drunk fall through.
He was not satisfied with the petty revenge of making Ding Ning sad. He wanted to take away everything that belonged to Ding Ning, let him lose his reputation and never be reincarnated.
On the sixth floor of the express hotel, Ding Ning hid behind the curtain and stared at the Mercedes-Benz off-road parked at the entrance of the hotel. He frowned tightly and secretly wondered why this guy followed him.
Not far from the community, he found that this guy was following him from a distance, which made him very unhappy. He did not like this person very much. His first impression was that this person was very hypocritical.
Although what happened before made his heart ache, it wasn't as unacceptable as he had imagined.
His anger stemmed more from Ling Yun's deceit. After he turned around and left, he began to worry whether he had overreacted and whether Ling Yun could not take it.
His feelings for Ling Yun were very complicated. If Ling Yun had not taken the initiative to kiss him, he might not have fallen in love with her in this life. Instead, he would have been like a bestie, silently protecting her, watching her get married and have children. He would have blessed her, prayed for her, and become her lifelong good friend, good brother, and good bestie.
Since he came to Ninghai alone five years ago and met the long-legged girl who was only sixteen years old at that time but had a magical smile and brought him family-like warmth and comfort to his anxious heart, he had decided that she was his best friend in his life.
This kind of feeling was very precious to him, who had never had a playmate his age since he was young.
He cherished the friendship between them very much. When Ling Yun and him broke the window paper, his heart was both excited and a little confused.
Some people said that there was no absolute pure friendship between men and women. Ding Ning used to be dismissive of this.
But it turned out that these words were still very reasonable. Ding Ning did have a bad idea about Ling Yun, but Ling Yun was even worse. She had a bad idea about him and gave her first kiss to him.
He did not deny that he had a physical impulse to Ling Yun. After all, he was a young man full of vigor. Ling Yun was getting more and more beautiful and sexier, but to fall in love with her always made him have some psychological obstacles.
The rapid progress of their relationship from best friends who talked about everything to a couple actually made Ding Ning quite confused.
Their relationship could be said to be best friends, but it was much closer than best friends. But it always felt that something was missing to say that they were lovers. Perhaps it might be more appropriate to define them as relatives.
If there was one person that Ding Ning did not want to hurt in his life, it must be Ling Yun. So when Ling Yun did not hide her feelings for him, he played the role of a submissive little follower as always. As long as she liked him, it did not matter.
If she liked to be Ding Ning's queen, he would play the role of her little follower. If she liked to be Ding Ning's girlfriend, he would play the role of her boyfriend. As long as she wanted, Ding Ning was willing to meet her unconditionally. He had spoiled her to the bones.
Perhaps because of this complicated feeling, Ding Ning, who had calmed down, did not become hysterical or decadent after everything happened tonight. Instead, he forced himself to face it calmly.
Although he did not think that the guy who was called Brother Junwei by Ling Yun was a good person, if Ling Yun really liked him, he would also silently bless her and let her get the happiness she wanted.
He was not the kind of person who could not bear to see others happy. As long as that so-called Brother Junwei sincerely liked Ling Yun, even if his character was somewhat flawed, Ding Ning would not say anything. After all, this was Ling Yun's own choice. He could only suggest, but had no right to interfere.
Although Liu Junwei did not say much at that time, Ding Ning was still keenly aware that he showed a trace of hatred to him.
If it was because he regarded Ding Ning as a rival in love, it was normal to have some hostility, but the hatred was somewhat thought-provoking.
Brother Liu Junwei made him leave like a stray dog with the attitude of a winner, and then immediately followed him. How could Ding Ning not doubt his intentions?
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not think of any intersection with this person, let alone making enemies with him.
There was no love without reason in this world, and there was no hatred without reason. Why was this guy so hostile to him? Ding Ning could not understand this no matter how hard he thought.
Under the street lamp, the Mercedes-Benz off-road quietly parked there, as if there was no one in the car. But Ding Ning knew that the guy had never got off and was in the car.
This made him very curious. What was this? Was it surveillance? Or a demonstration?
Ding Ning curled his lips and thought, "Since you like surveillance, then I will play with you."
He simply took a shower and made a phone call. "Lao San, are you free? Come out and have a drink. "
"Lao Liu, you are back? Fuck, you are a big star now. If I drink with you, will I be surrounded by your fan group? "
The teasing laughter from the other end of the phone warmed Ding Ning's heart.
Although Ding Ning was smiling and harmless all day when he was in college, behind his politeness hid an indifference that kept people thousands of miles away. In the eyes of many people, he was a very cold person.
Among the six people in the dormitory, the one who had the best relationship with him was Lao San, whose real name was Zhao Xin. Now he was a medical examiner of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
He was a guy with a strong personality. His biggest hobby was deducing cases and flirting with girls. He believed in the famous saying, "Only the dead can tell us the truth!"
So after getting his master's degree, he decisively gave up a better choice and became a medical examiner without hesitation, which also caused a heated discussion in the medical college.
Ding Ning laughed and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me if you are coming or not."
"Alas! I also want to go, but I really can't. Now I am still working overtime, and there are still three corpses waiting to be dissected. "
Zhao Xin complained incessantly.
This answer surprised Ding Ning a little. Did this guy, who had always been independent and was known as "I would rather die than work overtime", also bow to reality?
"Didn't you refuse to work overtime? What corpses can't be dissected tomorrow? "
"No, it's not that my superiors asked me to work overtime, but I work overtime on my own initiative. The cause of death of these corpses is a little interesting. I will tell you, but don't tell anyone!"
Zhao Xin's voice suddenly lowered and became mysterious. Obviously, he wanted to tell Ding Ning some secret gossip. "In these two days, there have been six murder cases in Ninghai, and the way of death is very strange. They were all sucked dry of blood. Now there is a rumor that there is a vampire in Ninghai …"
Ding Ning's brain roared, and he didn't pay attention to what Zhao Xin said later. Only the word "vampire" echoed in his mind.
Could it be that Chu Yunna couldn't help but start to suck human blood after only two or three days?
Ding Ning's face was very ugly. He sympathized with Chu Yunna, but it didn't mean that he could accept the fact that she hurt people.
This also made him feel a little guilty. If he hadn't delayed treating Chu Yunna, she wouldn't have been unable to help hurting people. After all, her nature was still very kind.
Chu Yunna? Chu Yunxiu? Ding Ning suddenly thought of a problem that he had always ignored.
Because he was used to calling Chu Yunxiu Aunt Chu, he subconsciously ignored the fact that Chu Yunna and Chu Yunxiu's names were actually only one word different.
But as far as he knew, Chu Yunxiu didn't have any sisters, and there was a big age gap between her and Chu Yunna. They shouldn't be sisters.
But Bone Demon, who was Ling Yun's father, stayed with Chu Yunna. Was it a coincidence? Or was it because their names were similar that he loved her because of her?
"Hello, Sixth Brother, what's wrong with you? Did you disconnect? Hello, hello, are you still there? "
Zhao Xin talked for a long time. Seeing that Ding Ning didn't say anything, he thought the line was disconnected and shouted on the phone.
Ding Ning came to his senses. "Oh, I'm listening. Since you have to work overtime, let's talk about it later. Let's make an appointment when we have time!"
"Make an appointment? Hey, but Sixth Brother, my sister wants to ask you out. She admires you very much. She will come to Ninghai in two days. I'll call you then."
Zhao Xin had shown off countless times in front of Ding Ning that he had a super beautiful younger sister. Ding Ning did not doubt this. After all, Zhao Xin was a handsome guy at the level of the most handsome guy in the school. His younger sister would definitely not be any worse.
But this guy was like his sister who couldn't get married. When Ding Ning first entered the school, he was only 17 years old, and he shouted that he wanted to introduce his 13-year-old sister to him. But there was no rain. After five years, Ding Ning didn't see her even after he graduated.
Ding Ning said with a smile, "No problem. I've been waiting for my dream lover. Don't fool me."
"Haha, let me tell you, Sixth Brother, it's not that I didn't let you see her before, but she was too young. My parents were worried that she would leave home. She will come to Ninghai to study soon. We are brothers, and we should not let the goodies go to outsiders. You have to hurry up, lest other pigs take my sister's fresh cabbage."
Zhao Xin said unrestrainedly, making Ding Ning blush with shame. "Fine, fine, fine. I've never seen a brother like you. Is there anyone who talks about their sister like this? Is your sister a gift from your parents for topping up her phone? "
"Screw you. You're the one who's a gift from topping up her phone. My sister has been at odds with me since we were young. She's a super scholar with a strong aura. She's always been the child next door since she was young. You don't know how much pressure I have as a brother. So, do a good deed and quickly take this demon away. More or less, it will relieve some of my pressure."
Zhao Xin was full of bitterness. It could be seen how big the psychological shadow his sister brought to him was.
"Then I really want to see what kind of demon can suppress you."
