Chapter 301 Luo Jinxi, are you still human?
The night was as dark as ink, and the Audi A8 was like a silent night owl, slowly sliding into the yard of the sea view villa.
The sea breeze swept in with a roar, bringing with it the unique salty and astringent smell of the sea, violently pouring into the nasal cavity. The strong smell of the sea inexplicably gave people a different sense of belonging in this dark night.
Jiang Chengyu, with his usual carefree attitude, pushed open the car door, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him, and got out of the car.
Luo Jinxi followed closely and got out of the car quickly, with the black muzzle of her pistol still firmly pointed at Jiang Chengyu's head, as if it was the most straightforward declaration of her determination at the moment.
Jiang Chengyu seemed to have gotten used to all this and strode towards the door as if nothing had happened.
His finger lightly placed on the fingerprint reader, and with a soft "beep" sound, the door slowly opened, as if opening a door to another world.
He lightly pressed the switch at the door, and in an instant, the room was as bright as day.
The furniture was covered with pieces of snow-white sheets. Under the light, the whole room exuded a holy and mysterious atmosphere. The magnificent palace-like layout made Luo Jinxi open his eyes slightly, his heart full of surprise and confusion.
Jiang Chengyu walked leisurely to the sofa, gently pinched a corner of the white sheet with his slender fingers, and gently lifted it up. The sheet fell like a light cloud.
He tilted his head slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Sit down! Don't your hands get sore from holding that thing all the time?"
Luo Jinxi snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, and asked: "Is this your home? Someone like you is worthy of owning such a luxurious home?"
Jiang Chengyu spread his hands helplessly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "This was bought for me by Xiaoji. To be precise, this is our common home, carrying many of our memories."
When Luo Jinxi heard this, the contempt on his face became even stronger, and he sneered loudly: "Jiang Chengyu, how can you be so shameless?
Mu Xiaoji may be kept in the dark at the moment, but the truth will come out eventually. It is impossible for him to remain ignorant of your ugly face for his whole life."
Jiang Chengyu nodded silently, his eyes revealing a trace of indescribable loneliness, and he said softly: "Yes, I know this day will come sooner or later. I just hope that he will consider our past friendship and love and let me die in a less ugly way."
After saying this, he sighed heavily, as if he was exhaling all the fatigue and helplessness in his heart.
He slowly stood up, with endless weariness in his eyes, and said, "There are many rooms here, please feel free to use them. I'm tired and I'm going upstairs to rest."
Luo Jinxi said angrily: "Jiang Chengyu..." She bit her lip and tried several times, but she didn't dare to pull the trigger.
Jiang Chengyu's figure gradually disappeared at the corner of the stairs, leaving Luo Jinxi standing alone in this empty and puzzle-filled living room.
Her heart was in turmoil. On the one hand, she was certain that what she saw was the truth, and she firmly believed that Jiang Chengyu was a heartless, hypocritical and cunning man;
On the other hand, Jiang Chengyu's lonely back and heavy sigh when he left were like an invisible thorn that pierced deeply into her heart, making her wonder whether there were unknown secrets and hardships hidden behind all this.
The sea breeze was still blowing violently outside the window, and wave after wave of waves were hitting the shore violently, making a deafening roar, as if cheering for this confusing emotional entanglement, urging the truth to come to light as soon as possible.
Jiang Chengyu dragged his slightly tired body into the bedroom. The dim light sprinkled into the room, making the white sheets covering the bed and cabinets look even paler.
He stretched out his hand and gently pulled off the sheets one by one, as if he was uncovering a dusty past.
Then he opened the closet, slid his fingers through the rows of clothes, finally pulled out a set of soft pajamas, turned and walked into the bathroom.
Soon the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom. The sound was particularly clear in the silent night, as if it were a solo piece of music.
Hot water fell from the shower head like a fine bead curtain. Jiang Chengyu stood under the shower head, letting the warm water wash over his body, washing away his fatigue and dust.
After a while, the sound of running water stopped abruptly, and the whole world seemed to be quiet in an instant. Jiang Chengyu slowly walked out of the bathroom wearing his silky pajamas. The texture of the pajamas fit his body tightly, outlining his tall figure.
He was casually wiping his wet hair with a white bath towel, the water drops on the ends of his hair sparkling under the light. At the same time, he picked up his mobile phone, tapped the screen with his slender fingers, and opened a WeChat video call with Mu Xiaoji.
Soon, Mu Xiaoji's beautiful face appeared in the video screen, her eyes flashing with longing and concern: "Little Monster, are you just home?"
Jiang Chengyu looked at him on the screen, his face instantly filled with a doting smile, his voice as gentle as the breeze on the night sea:
"I arrived around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The old lady and Song Wenxuan were very engaged in their conversation, so I had dinner at Goldsmith Bay and just returned to our home."
Jiang Chengyu said, flipped the camera of his phone, and then walked to the balcony. Mu Xiaoji saw the endless sea in the camera. In the night, the sea was like a sleeping beast, with white waves rolling and hitting the coast, making a low roar.
"Little monster, take care of yourself; finish your work as soon as possible and come back to me. I feel like I have insomnia tonight, and I can't sleep well without you by my side."
There was a hint of coquettishness and dependence in Mu Xiaoji's voice. Jiang Chengyu smiled and said, "Then I won't hang up the phone and will keep chatting with you until you fall asleep."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoji showed a happy smile on his face. He gently turned over, lay on his side on the bed, and said, "Little monster, sing a song for me!
Every time you sing, they ask you to sing, and you never take the initiative to sing a song for me."
Jiang Chengyu raised his eyebrows slightly and retorted: "Of course I didn't. I took the initiative to sing it for you when you graduated from college."
Mu Xiaoji pouted in displeasure: "I said no, that's it."
Jiang Chengyu looked at his cute appearance and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you say is right. Then I'll sing you a song "Catching the Wind" and you can go to sleep quickly."
"Okay, you sing and I'll listen." Mu Xiaoji closed his eyes happily, looking forward to the little monster's beautiful singing lingering around the bedside.
Jiang Chengyu walked to the balcony railing, the sea breeze gently brushed his face, he took a deep breath, and sang slowly to the vast ocean.
When I finally recognize myself
I dare to tell you this love
Let all the indifference and anxiety melt away
No more dodging eyes
When I finally cut open me
No longer silent, fall in love with your passion
Even if there are graceful dances and light songs, I only covet the moonlight
Sitting happily in the dust
No matter how precious it is
So what if I'm so sure?
Facing the twists and turns of fate
Be a brave man without hesitation
No matter how embarrassed I am
So what if it's cruel
Please cross the crowd and catch me at this moment
The singing was melodious and graceful, floating in the night sky and interweaving with the sound of the waves. It seemed like an affectionate confession across distance, expressing his endless longing and love for Mu Xiaoji.
There was always a doting smile on Jiang Chengyu's handsome face. His eyes were like the gentlest breeze under the warm spring sun, quietly falling on Xiaoji who was sleeping peacefully in the video.
Time seemed to stop for him at this moment. He stared at her for a long time before he whispered, "Good night, Xiaoji!"
The voice was as light as a falling feather, carrying with it endless tenderness and attachment. Then, he slowly hung up the video call.
Turning and stepping into the bedroom, the empty room seemed even more lonely under the dim light. The emptiness was like an invisible force that quietly penetrated into his heart, causing him to instantly feel an indescribable sense of emptiness.
He shook his head slightly, chuckled at the irony of this world, then walked towards the door with slightly heavy steps, opened the bedroom door, and walked downstairs.
He walked straight to the wine cabinet and skillfully took out a bottle of red wine and an exquisite glass.
Under the light, the red wine looks like the flowing deep night, emitting a charming luster.
He gently poured the red wine into the glass. The bright red wine hit the wall of the glass, splashing tiny bubbles. Then he gently shook the glass, watching the wine swirling in the glass, just like his chaotic thoughts at the moment.
He drank glass after glass as if he was drowning his sorrows, and soon the bottle of red wine was empty.
Jiang Chengyu stood up, slightly tipsy, with a slightly staggering step, and prepared to go upstairs to his room to rest.
At this moment, his eyes inadvertently swept over Luo Jinxi who was sleeping on the sofa.
Her face looked particularly peaceful in her sleep, completely different from her aggressive look at night.
Jiang Chengyu could not help but slowly approach her. Out of kindness, he gently reached out his hand and patted her shoulder, while softly calling out: "Luo Jinxi..."
However, Luo Jinxi's high alertness as an elite armed police officer was instantly triggered.
The moment Jiang Chengyu's hand just touched her shoulder, she almost reflexively performed a grappling move. The movement was swift and fierce. Jiang Chengyu didn't even have time to react before she pinned him to the ground.
"Jiang Chengyu, what do you want to do? If you don't want to die, then behave yourself." Her voice carried a cold warning, like a knife in the cold night.
Jiang Chengyu quickly explained: "I've already told you, there are a lot of rooms here, you can sleep in any of them, it will be more comfortable than in the living room! I just want to wake you up and let you sleep in your room."
There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in his tone, trying to make Luo Jinxi understand his good intentions.
Luo Jinxi still questioned angrily: "Are you so kind?"
Jiang Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said unhappily, "What else? Let me go."
At this moment, Luo Jinxi keenly smelled the strong smell of alcohol emanating from Jiang Chengyu's body, and her doubts in her heart grew even stronger. She snorted coldly and said, "You are drunk and bold, and you are plotting something bad, right?"
Jiang Chengyu cried out in pain in his heart, struggling to say: "It really proves the saying 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise'."
His words completely infuriated Luo Jinxi. In a rage, she ruthlessly used force to remove Jiang Chengyu's right arm.
Jiang Chengyu let out a shrill scream, which echoed in the silent room. His eyes widened with anger as he asked, "Luo Jinxi, are you still human? You are unreasonable."
Seeing this, Luo Jinxi let go of Jiang Chengyu. Jiang Chengyu supported his shoulders painfully and slowly stood up. His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, which flowed down his cheeks that were slightly twisted by pain and dripped onto the floor.
He did not look at Luo Jinxi, but walked silently to the sofa, gently placed his injured right hand on the back of the sofa, turned around suddenly, and with a "bone crack" sound, he endured the severe pain and repositioned the dislocated joint.
During this process, veins popped out on his forehead and sweat kept dripping like rain.
Jiang Chengyu was seen moving his repositioned arm and dragging his tired body upstairs. His back looked particularly lonely and desolate under the light.
Luo Jinxi stood there, looking at his departing back with a serious expression, feeling mixed emotions.
She began to reflect on whether she was really too impulsive and misunderstood Jiang Chengyu's kindness, but the suspicion about the relationship between him, Mu Xiaoji and the pregnant woman still shrouded her heart like a shadow, and it took a long time to dissipate.
