Love On The Turquoise Land[ 枭起青壤_尾鱼 ]

Chapter 38

Nie Jiu Luo stared at him for a while and said, "Are you talking about Pei Ke?"

The vein beside Zhan Jing's temple was pulsating rapidly, "You know her? Are you...?"

"She's my mom."

Zhan Jing gripped the plastic bag tightly in his hand, feeling like he was waking up from a dream, "No... No wonder, I thought you looked familiar, it's really... Then, are you, Xixi?"

Xixi, this name was only used here. Her real name was Nie Xi, but later she felt that life should start anew, so she changed her name a bit: not too much, just embedding her birthday, September 4th, Nie Jiu Luo - this name was very friendly to friends, they would never forget her birthday, one look at the name and it was obvious.

She asked, "Who are you?"

Zhan Jing didn't answer directly, "Xixi, do you know... where your mom is?"

It was inexplicable. It seemed that this person not only lived in seclusion but also had a somewhat unusual thought process. Nie Jiuluo said, "She passed away a long time ago."

She didn't want to catch up with someone who wasn't normal, so she turned around to leave.

But Zhan Jing hurriedly caught up, "No, Xixi, your dad locked her up, you have to save her!"

This was just... utterly ridiculous. Nie Jiuluo was extremely repulsed and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "How do you know?"

Zhan Jing was caught off guard by her question, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I dreamt several times that she was crying in a dungeon..."

With such imagination, why didn't he go write scripts? Nie Jiuluo was not very polite, "Who are you? Even if it's a dream, it shouldn't be yours, it should be mine. Besides, my dad has been dead for almost twenty years!"

Zhan Jing seemed to have just realized this, his lips stuttered for a few moments before blurting out again, "It was your dad, your dad killed your mom!"

If it wasn't for the fact that this person was old, Nie Jiuluo really wanted to give him a slap. She scoffed, "Nonsense," and turned to leave.

But Zhan Jing chased after her, "It's true! Your mom said she wanted a divorce, your dad disagreed and said he wanted to take her on a trip. Once they left..."

With a thud, he slipped and fell heavily to the ground. The round box of takeaway in his hand rolled far away, even rolling to Nie Jiuluo's feet. She glanced coldly, flicked her boot and sent the takeaway rolling in a different direction.

Zhan Jing fell quite heavily and couldn't get up for a while. Watching her walk further away, he felt desperate, "It's true, Xiao Ke said she would come back soon, I went to your dad to ask for her release, but he beat me up..."

The more he said, the sadder he became, and by the end, he was sobbing.

But Nie Jiuluo had long since disappeared from sight.

***

Back at the hotel, Nie Jiuluo couldn't shake off the feeling of congestion in her heart.

It wasn't because of Zhan Jing's nonsense about being locked up and killed. Such nonsense was like a passing breeze, she didn't take it to heart at all.

What she cared about was that the deep and unwavering love story between her parents, which had always been cherished, was suddenly torn open.

What a guy that Zhan Jing is, repulsive in appearance, cowardly in character, and he dares to have any connection with her mother?
