Chapter 84

Xiang Siling lives in a large flat by the river. The 288-square-meter house is occupied by just her and her daughter. She hired a daytime nanny who doesn't live at home. The huge house is often empty.

When the house was bought for her, Li Meiling was a little reluctant, as it cost 6-7 million yuan. In front of the salesperson, Luo Hongmin waved his hand and said, "Why are you talking so much? Just buy the best for our daughter." The salesperson was pleasantly surprised and kept complimenting them, saying that the two bosses were really good to their daughter.

Later, when Xiang Siling was being fucked hard against the French window with a 270-degree view of the river, she looked at the cross-river bridge and the sparkling river in the distance, and thought to herself, the scenery here is really beautiful. When I was a teenage ugly duckling, I never thought that one day I would have such a good house and such a beautiful scenery. They all said that she was not satisfied, was she really wrong? She wanted too much.

The community is known as the top floor of Xiangcheng River View. It is said that the King Tree in the community alone cost 80 yuan. For such an expensive property, the occupancy rate is sparse, but the supporting facilities are indeed top-notch.

The community clubhouse is on more than 30 floors, and one of the floors is a glass-covered swimming pool. The facilities are very good and the water is very clean, but few people come to swim. After work, Xiang Siling likes to soak in the pool alone and stare at the clouds outside the window in a daze.

This day is the same.

She was wearing a black bikini. Because she had been doing fitness and taking good care of her skin for many years, her figure was well-proportioned, especially her skin which was as white as snow and glowed white. Even though the lifeguard at the swimming pool was already very familiar with her, he still couldn't help but take a peek.

Xiang Siling didn't come alone today.

She swam slowly in the swimming pool, like a relaxed mermaid. Luo Huaizheng was dressed neatly in a shirt and trousers, sitting on a beach chair by the pool. But he didn't look at her, nor did he look at his phone. He clasped his hands, resting his forearms on his thighs, and looked at the clouds and tall buildings outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiang Siling swam over lightly, like a hidden coral fish, making almost no sound. When she reached his feet, he didn't even notice because he was distracted. Xiang Siling's beautiful eyes were filled with a sweet smile, and she suddenly paddled with her arms, splashing all the water on his suit pants.

Luo Huaizheng was startled and looked at her coldly with a frown. As a result, she pushed her arms against the wall of the pool and jumped out of the water, splashing half of his body with water. Luo Huaizheng was about to get up and look for a towel, but she held his thigh down.

She bent down with her head down, her whole body wet, water drops slid down her cheeks, flowed down her arms, and wet his pants again.

"Luo Huaizheng, you don't keep your word." She said coquettishly.

Luo Huaizheng leaned back without leaving any trace, distanced himself from her, stared into her eyes which were still full of smiles, and said, "You asked me to swim with you, and I came too. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"Tsk..." She pouted. "You sound like a scumbag when you say that. Are you going to swim with me? You won't even change into your swimming trunks or get in the water. You're a landlubber."

Luo Huaizheng didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and said calmly: "I can't swim."

"I can teach you."

"I don't want to learn. I'm afraid of water."

Xiang Siling chuckled.

What a lively, arrogant, and slightly temperamental young man. She felt fresh and happy.

Luo Huaizheng's gaze rested on her slender white hands, which were still casually pressed on his thighs.

"Hands away."

Unexpectedly, Xiang Siling's fingers gripped even tighter. When had Luo Huaizheng ever had such an ambiguous contact with a woman? His handsome face suddenly turned red and his expression darkened. He grabbed her wrists and threw them away.

But she didn't care. She stared at him with her damp and cold eyes and said, "Luo Huaizheng, kiss me."

Commanding tone.

Luo Huaizheng's cheek muscles twitched and he turned his head away.

Xiang Siling looked at his tense neck and cold eyes, laughed, and whispered in his ear: "College bully, you are so smart, don't you understand that there is a price to pay for making a deal with a vicious woman like me. But you are so stingy that you don't even want to give me a kiss. Do you think I don't know that these days, you are really hanging out with me for those connections and those petty interests? Or do you have other purposes?

Tell me, if I don't tell you, how can I satisfy you? I have said long ago that I will give you everything I can. Because I love you, just like I love the God in my heart. "

Luo Huaizheng slowly turned his head back and stared at her from a distance of less than ten centimeters. Even though she put her arms around his neck, he did not move away, as if they were the most intimate couple.

"You said you love me?"

She raised her head in his arms and looked at him with eyes as pure as a girl's: "Don't you believe it?"

The man's dry and rough fingers pinched her chin hard. Xiang Siling was startled, but did not avoid it, still looking at him innocently.

"I..." Luo Huaizheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Xiang Siling only felt that at this moment, he was obviously trying hard to be patient, suppressing his fierce and angry expression, which was extremely sexy.

"I can't say those connections. I don't care about the benefits you bring." Luo Huaizheng slowed down his tone, "I am also a person with desires, and I am a person with very limited abilities now. Who would let go of the benefits that are obtained for free? I can see that you put your heart into those things. Thank you. If you are not really doing this for my own good, you would not have arranged it so thoughtfully. However, you are right. There is only one thing I want to know the most. I asked you a long time ago, but you didn't tell me."

Xiang Siling was silent.

"I have finished my jail term now. My youth and life are gone. I accept all of this. Your father is dead, and I can't overturn the verdict. But..." He tapped his chest with his finger, "And here, Xiang Siling, my heart is still alive, and it also wants to turn the page! In this life, even until I die, I want to know the truth: Did Xiang Wei rape you? Did I... kill someone? Or was it self-defense? You didn't say anything back then, and now that everything is over, you still can't say anything?"

Luo Huaizheng pursed his lips tightly, and the muscles around his teeth trembled slightly: "You don't know that after killing someone with your own hands, you will not be able to sleep all night long, and even if you fall asleep, it will be full of nightmares. Every day when you wake up, you have to face the fact that you have become a social scum, a criminal.

Seven years have passed. I still dream about that evening. I dream that I used that iron candlestick to smash your father's head, causing him to bleed and die with his eyes wide open. I don't want to suffer in this life. Maybe only you can help me. If you love me, if you really loved me, can you give me a little mercy? Tell me the truth, so that I can get rid of what happened seven years ago. Don't look back and walk the next path of life.

Let me know whether I am a good person or a bad person. I just want to figure this one thing out, okay? "

Xiang Siling lowered his head at some point.

When she looked up again, her face was covered with tears.

At this moment, she was different from every other side of her that Luo Huaizheng had seen since they met again. She was neither coquettish nor pretentious; neither vicious nor hypocritical. She looked at him with her clear and beautiful angelic eyes, tears in her eyes.

Luo Huaizheng once again thought of the two silent streams under the cold moonlight. They were running so quietly and lonely. They were obviously very close, but they seemed to be very far away, staring at him through seven years of painful darkness.

He was suddenly confused, wondering what her eyes looked like seven years ago. But he was in hell at that time and never noticed her.

Xiang Siling suddenly let go of his hand, stood up, took two steps back, and put some distance between them.

Luo Huaizheng looked up at her with red eyes.

Xiang Siling just felt that he looked exactly like the pure and honest boy seven years ago, so desirable and so intoxicating.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, smiled gently, and said, "Luo Huaizheng, you have always been a good person."

Luo Huaizheng's Adam's apple moved and his eyes became redder.

She wiped her tears a few more times, looked him straight in the eyes with an almost calm expression, and said, "We will be relieved. We will all be relieved. You will know the truth of that year soon. I promise."

Xiang Siling: 2000 words is just enough for me to show up. The male and female protagonists have to stand aside.
