Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 278 Don’t forget me

Xia Ning's condition got worse.

Now she looks haggard, with her jet-black hair hanging messily on the sides of her face, and it seems that she has not been taken care of for a long time.

Her face was as pale as paper, and the dark circles under her eyes showed that she might not have slept for a long time.

Seeing his daughter like this, Xia Hai's eyes were filled with heartache.

His lips trembled slightly, but he still tried to remain calm and not let his tears fall.

Xu Wen had never seen Xia Ning in such a miserable state.

She once seemed always bright and gentle, just like the untouchable moonlight in the sky.

Now the moonlight has set.

Xia Ning sat down on the chair hesitantly, in front of Xu Wen. There was now a thick layer of glass between the two of them.

"How is your injury?" she asked.

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for a long time, Xia Ning's originally sweet voice now sounded a little hoarse.

She never thought of hurting Xu Wen, but when she was completely desperate, the knife still appeared on him.

It was he who saved her.

Xu Wen smiled gently and said softly: "I'm fine, I've recovered a long time ago."

When Xia Ning saw this face that was as perfect as usual, her mind was a little dazed for a moment.

She thought of countless scenarios of reuniting with Xu Wen.

Maybe he would be very cold and not want to talk to her at all; maybe he would look serious and scold her for doing such a thing; or maybe he would not come to see her at all, and the two would never see each other again.
She had thought of many possibilities, but she never expected that Xu Wen didn't even say a harsh word, but just smiled gently.

He even took the initiative to care about her: "Don't blame yourself too much, and don't torture yourself. If you can get out, come out first."

It goes without saying that life in the detention center is extremely difficult.

Some people would even rather stay in prison than in a detention center.

Just now on the road, Xia Hai said that he wanted to arrange bail for Xia Ning, but she did not agree.

Now she still has severe bipolar disorder, and her father dare not stimulate her at all.

The main purpose of Xu Wen's visit this time was to persuade Xia Ning to come out and to let her receive treatment properly.

After hearing this, Xia Ning didn't say anything, but just kept shaking her head. Tears kept flowing down the corners of her mouth and fell to the ground with a "patter".

She just felt her heart aching so much that she couldn't breathe.

If Xu Wen in front of her could scold her or just ignore her completely, she might feel better.

But he said nothing, he was still very gentle.

Xia Ning asked to see Xu Wen just to refuse treatment. She just wanted to rot here forever and didn't want anything else.

She thought it was impossible for her father to find someone.

Because in her opinion, after what happened, it was impossible for Xu Wen to still want to see her.

But unexpectedly, he really came.

"I know you don't really want to hurt me, you just want to stay in the past and don't want to face the future." Xu Wen continued to comfort.

At this moment, anything I say seems a little pale.

It would be nice if I could hug you.

But there was a thick glass between the two of them that was absolutely impossible to cross.

One can't get in, and the other doesn't want to come out.

Just like the dilemma they both faced.

"But we still have to move forward. I will always be waiting for you outside until you get better." Xu Wen put his palm against the glass.

Xia Ning looked up in a daze. She never expected him to say such a thing.

"I'm really just too scared. I'm afraid you'll leave me. I'm afraid you won't need me anymore."

"I know I'm hopeless and there's no way to undo what I've done. I deserve this. This is all my fault."

"I am not qualified to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to stay here forever. It doesn't matter if you lock me up for life. I just want to know if there is a place for me in your heart."

Xia Ning also put her hand against the glass and covered the big hand with her palm.

Although it was icy when she touched it, she seemed to feel the long-lost warmth through the coldness.

She cried even harder, and her body was shaking.

Xu Wen sighed softly.

As expected, no matter what time, no matter what age girls are, no matter what their status is, they only have one question when facing love: Have you ever loved me?
"I told you that I have fallen in love with you a long time ago, but you just didn't believe it. It would be better if there was more trust between us." Xu Wen replied helplessly.

He remembered the tarot cards that Yang Yiyao had used to tell fortunes for him.

Maybe some things are destined from the beginning.

On the surface, the two of them seem to have a good relationship and are very close to each other, but in fact, they don't even have the most basic trust.

"The moon was very beautiful last night, just like every time we saw it before, the moonlight was beautiful and I will always remember it," he continued.

When he saw the moon last night, he wanted to share it with Xia Ning.

It finally came true today.

"I'm sorry." Xia Ning lowered her head again.

Xu Wen's voice suddenly became stern: "Don't say sorry, what you are doing is not only hurting me, but also hurting yourself. Raise your head and walk out. Now the only one who can save you is you."

At his request, Xia Ning raised her head again, her eyes filled with confusion.

Could she save herself? She had never thought about it. From that day on, she just wanted to rot forever.

If only time could stop at that moment.

Xia Ning didn't want to face the future life anymore, because she knew that Xu Wen would definitely not exist in the future.

"I know you won't forgive me anymore, but please don't forget me, okay? I don't want to ask for anything, I just hope you can remember me." She prayed.

"It's unlikely that I'll forgive you now." Xu Wen said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Ning's already dim eyes became even darker.

But he changed the subject: "But if you cooperate with the treatment, work hard to move on from the past, and change yourself as much as possible, maybe I can forgive you."

Xia Ning's eyes were once again confused.

Xu Wen didn't say anything else, but waited for her to think slowly.

However, the meeting time is limited and they don’t have much time left.

Not long after, the police officer nearby reminded them that the meeting was about to end and that if they had anything else to say, they should say it quickly.

Xu Wen smiled and said, "I will wait for you, until you turn back into the Xia Ning I knew before."

Now her world is dark, and what she lacks most is hope.

And his words at this time are the best "hope".

Xu Wen knew that he had to give the father and daughter some time, so after he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Ning's reply, but turned around and left.

It's useless to say more. Leave her with hope and be decisive without listening to her explanation. This will be more effective.

Xu Wen walked to the door of the detention center alone.

His chest felt a little stuffy and he was in a very melancholy mood.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and we won't be able to see such a beautiful moon tonight.

Xu Wen didn't have to wait too long, and soon Xia Hai also walked out of the detention center.

Without waiting to ask for details, Xu Wen noticed a long-lost sense of ease on the father's face.

It seems that Xia Ning has agreed to leave the detention center to be disciplined. Xu Wen didn't ask anything, he just said: "Let's go, Uncle Xia."

Then I went to drive.

"Wait a moment." Xia Hai stopped Xu Wen: "I'll smoke a cigarette before getting in the car."

He pulled a cigarette case from his pocket and lit it expertly.

Although Xu Wen had not met Xia Hai many times, he remembered that this serious middle-aged man did not seem to smoke.

"Want one?" Xia Hai took out another cigarette from the box.

"Thank you, I don't know how." Xu Wen waved his hand to refuse.

Xia Hai didn't insist and squatted on the ground smoking.

He said to himself, "I have given up smoking for almost twenty years, ever since your Aunt He got pregnant with Ning Ning, but I picked it up again recently."

The smoke continued to rise, and he looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xia Hai took a few deep puffs and then put out the half-smoked cigarette on the ground.

He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and said as he walked forward, "Not smoking is a good thing."

"Yeah." Xu Wen nodded.

Gu Hong had said something like this to him before, and Xu Wen didn't think much about it at the time, but now he heard a different meaning.

"Good thing" does not just mean not smoking, but it means that he doesn't have any worries and is not under too much pressure.

Perhaps this is what Gu Hong wanted to say at that time.

After the two got in the car, Xu Wen asked Xia Hai about his destination and then drove silently.

During this time, neither of them said a word.

When the car was halfway through the journey, Xia Hai suddenly asked, "Have you never hated Ningning?"

Xu Wen did not answer directly, but asked: "Is this what she asked you to ask me?"

Xia Hai shook his head: "No, I just wanted to ask it myself."

"I just feel sorry for her." Xu Wen said concisely.

He had no hatred towards Xia Ning, but more of a heartache. He always wondered if Xia Ning's life would have been different if he had not appeared.

But there was no point in thinking about that now.

Things have already happened, and what he should do is to find a way to change everything in the days to come.

"I understand." Xia Hai nodded.

After that, the two fell into silence again.

Xu Wen thought a lot, and before getting off the car, he reminded him one last time: "Uncle, if you take the first step in some things, there is no turning back."

He didn't need to say it explicitly, Xia Hai would know what he was talking about.

Xia Hai smiled lightly, his expression relieved: "If you get married and have children in the future, you will probably understand how I feel now."

He has lived for so many years and is nearly half a hundred years old, so he must know more than him.

Having said that, Xu Wen had nothing more to say. This was their respective fates.

"Anyway, thank you. We still have a long way to go." Xia Hai patted his shoulder and got out of the car alone.

Xu Wen looked at the back of the middle-aged man and inexplicably thought of an article he had studied before, the title of which was "Back View".

Education has a lag.

Only when he really read it once did he truly understand the meaning of the article.

Xia Ning has a father and a mother who love her very much.

But just like her, her parents also have twisted love.

After sending Xia Hai to his workplace, Xu Wen drove back to the studio.

I have wasted the whole morning and I don’t know how everyone’s work progress is now.

He walked into the studio and saw everyone was working.

There's only one person who doesn't fit in here.

Gu Xingruo was sitting with her legs crossed, eating snacks and watching TV series.

She was laughing foolishly as if no one was around, and Xu Wen thought she was watching some comedy, but when he looked at the computer screen, it turned out to be the famous "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!
Xu Wen really couldn't figure out what was so funny about this drama.

People who are watching this drama now may not have thought that in the next ten years or so, netizens will watch this drama over and over again until they are tired of it.

After the advent of Tik Tok, Xu Wen has watched it several times, which shows how popular it is.

Gu Xingruo didn't seem to notice him approaching from behind, so he just sat down next to her and started watching.

The current plot just happens to show that Concubine Hua has been banished to the cold palace and is about to die by banging her head against the wall.

"Look, she's about to hit her head against a wall and die." Xu Wen patted Gu Xingruo's shoulder and pointed at the computer screen.

The eldest lady was startled, but after seeing him, she returned to her previous state and handed over the potato chips.

"How do you know? Have you seen it?" she asked curiously.

"I guessed that people in ancient times generally died this way." Xu Wen made up an excuse.

Not long after, the Concubine Hua Nian Shilan on the computer screen really hit her head and died, and at the same time she said: "Your Majesty, you have caused Shilan so much pain!"

"Awesome! You are not the screenwriter, are you?" Gu Xingruo exclaimed.

Xu Wen smiled slightly, and after watching the classic plot, he turned around to check the progress of his work.

Gu Xingruo has no interest in watching TV series anymore.

She planned to wait until Xu Wen was free and then find out where he went this morning.

Because she overslept yesterday, Gu Xingruo specifically asked the nanny to wake her up early last night.

As a result, she came today, but Xu Wen didn't come, and no one knew where he went.

She sat in the studio and waited, and even after she had finished lunch, someone finally came.

When she saw Xu Wen sitting back in his seat, she curiously stepped forward and asked, "You didn't oversleep this morning, did you?"

She didn't want to control him, she was just simply curious.

Xu Wen looked at Gu Xingruo and said calmly, "They asked me to go to the police station, and then to the detention center, where I met the person."

He spoke in a low voice and did not mention any names, so that only the two of them could understand.

Gu Xingruo was a little surprised when she heard this.

But she was still worried at first: "They didn't force you to do anything, did they?"

Xu Wen replied: "There is nothing that can force me."

Gu Xingruo stretched out her fingers and counted: "For example, forcing you to testify, or forcing you not to pursue the matter."

Xu Wen pressed her hand down and interrupted her: "Don't worry, nothing happened, it's over."

Xu Wen never intended to hide Xia Ning's affairs.

Since this matter may become a barrier between the two of you in the future, you should talk about it nicely and in detail without any taboos.

Xia Ning made Xu Wen understand that trust is very important when two people are together.

When Gu Xingruo felt the warmth in his hand, he had already forgotten the previous question.

What Xia Ning or not? She is in the detention center now, so there won’t be any more roles for her in the future!
She only remembered the sentence Xu Wen said now.

It has passed.
