"Shang Jin, can you not be so arbitrary? I'm really tired when I'm with you. " Jian Ning said rather helplessly.
She slumped her shoulders and put her hands on her knees, lowering her head. She looked like she was really tired.
Jian Ning rejected him immediately without even thinking, "We are not from the same world, we are not suitable."
Shang Jin suddenly held her hands tightly, and forcefully pulled her into his embrace: "In this life, don't ever think of leaving me."
She was instantly stunned, his voice was like a demon note revolving in her mind.
"You're a bastard!" In the end, Jian Ning could only choke out one sentence.
She was truly helpless against Shang Jin. She only wanted to be alone and quietly wait, but when she closed her eyes, she could feel the aura of the man beside her.
Just like his people, he was just as domineering. It was hard for people to forget him even if they wanted to.
The two of them went silent. In his embrace, Jian Ning felt a bit uncomfortable, but just as she was about to change her position, Shang Jin suddenly held her tightly.
A man like this was truly a headache for her.
After they awkwardly finished eating, Shang Jin took Jian Ning away with him to the door, and looked at the already destroyed lock with a complicated expression.
Before, this place was not bad, and he couldn't find any obvious traces of it. If it wasn't for someone who understood this, he would never have thought of it.
"What did you bring me here for?" Shang Jin kept a cold face the entire time, pretending that he did not know anything.
Shang Jin was not in a hurry to expose her, but instead walked to the side of the door, picked up the broken lock, and carried it in front of her.
"A lot of people here don't have your skills, okay?" It wasn't sarcastic.
As long as he thought about how Jian Ning knew this technique, he felt pain in his heart, he did not dare to imagine what kind of life Jian Ning had in the past.
"Have you ever thought of giving up before?" The expensive medical fees from Wen Lengyun's side, as well as her father's actions that chilled him to the bones, had Jian Ning regretted all of these?
"Regret?" When she looked at Shang Jin, there was even a hint of ridicule: "I have never regretted it."
Although it was hard work, but she had survived. Thinking back carefully, this was still considered lucky.
Shang Jin looked at her with a pained expression and hugged her shoulders as he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Luckily Jian Ning did not regret it, so it could be considered as not regretting meeting him, right?
However, Jian Ning did not know what he meant. Looking at the lock in front of her, she couldn't help but think back to when she had just left the Jane's house.
If not for something that her grandfather had left her, she would not have been able to bear Wen Lengyun's medical expenses and would not have had the chance to learn design.
She took in a deep breath and said with a tinge of nostalgia, "Actually, I am still quite grateful to Jian Xingfeng. If I don't know his true face throughout my entire life, that would be a type of sadness."
Shang Jin looked down at her optimistic expression, and his heart was a little confused.
Although Jian Ning looked to be smiling or cold, he knew that this was her disguise.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking me these questions today?" Jian Ning curiously looked at him, wanting to know the answer.
"Nothing?" Shang Jin smiled as he replied, but when Jian Ning looked at him, he lowered her head once again.
He guiltily shifted his gaze away, not daring to meet her gaze. But soon, he recalled something he wanted to ask, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you learn this?"
Naturally, he wasn't suspecting that Jian Ning had acted in a noble manner, but simply out of curiosity. If she was a self-taught genius, then that would be great.
His words brought back memories of Jian Ning, and she couldn't help but curl her lips as she smiled and said, "That is a neighbor of mine."
"He watched me grow up and he took care of me until one day I left in a hurry. I forgot my key for a moment. It was raining heavily and it was very cold. He opened the door for me when he saw that I was alone outside. And then I knew. "
Once he thought about that time, Jian Ning wanted to laugh. She really couldn't understand why she was so foolish back then, to actually be bewitched by his words.
Seeing her smiling so happily, Shang Jin also laughed along with her, not willing to disturb her.
Jian Ning shifted her gaze back to the door, continuing, "There was a period of time when he did not want me to bring the key, I tried for a long time, until I was satisfied."
She took the lock and carefully held it in her hand. That smile was something that Shang Jin had never seen before.
"And the last one?" Seeing that she was in a good mood, Shang Jin carefully asked again.
If he could see it again, he would really want to thank him.
"His children came to look for him, and then they left." Speaking of that man's departure, Jian Ning was still slightly injured.
That day, he had slowly disappeared from her line of sight, and she could still remember his words now.
"Xiao Ning, in this world, the only person you can believe in is yourself."
So after that, she wasn't willing to make friends, and she kept studying hard. So to this day, she only had Song Xi as her friend.
When Shang Jin realized that he had accidentally spied on her secret, he felt a little helpless. He was really worried that Jian Ning would ignore him again because of this.
But luckily, Jian Ning didn't say anything, and her attitude towards herself was still as good as ever, allowing him to feel slightly at ease.
It was only when Jian Ning came out of her memories did she return to her usual indifference towards Shang Jin.
"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that her face had turned cold, he immediately asked nervously.
Jian Ning looked at him very seriously, took in a deep breath, and then said: "Shang Jin, since you don't want me to leave, how about you give me a bit of your own space?"
"..." He knew that Jian Ning would definitely do anything to make him promise her.
But when he saw the look of anticipation in Jian Ning's eyes, he felt a little embarrassed to reject her.
"My requirements aren't high. I just want some privacy. Is it that difficult?" Seeing that he did not speak, Jian Ning was disappointed.
"No." Shang Jin immediately rejected her idea, and said: "I was just worried that you would leave me."
Yes, especially after yesterday's incident, he was now truly afraid, and did not dare to do anything risky.
