Chapter 164 Birthday? Death Anniversary? Acting? Resonance?
Nan Shu was taken aback.

Nan Sinian glanced at her. "Surprised?"

Nan Shu shook her head.

"why?"

She was just confused.

“Because of my sister…” he paused, “you should have heard Ah Nian talk about her.”

When he said this, Nan Sinian's tone was full of certainty.

He understands A-Nian, and he understands himself. Even he, in this situation, would unconsciously reveal the secrets buried deep in his heart when facing Nan Shu, let alone A-Nian.

He could tell that Ah Nian's feelings for Nan Shu were not just those of an ordinary colleague.

Nan Shu nodded.

Nan Sinian smiled, but Nan Shu couldn't quite understand his smile.

“She disappeared. In the hospital, her parents didn’t even see her once. She just disappeared like that… This has become a thorn in their hearts.”

In their search for Nan Sinian's sister, whom he had never even met, his already busy parents became even busier.

My older brother has always been calm and composed. He was busy with his studies and lived at school, so he didn't stay at the old house often.

Ah Nian was the same age as him, but back then he was obsessed with action-packed crime and suspense anime, and lived a carefree life.

Only him.

Because it's ranked second, it always seems to be the one that gets overlooked.

The parents would remember how hard the eldest brother studied, bringing him books and artifacts, and buying snacks for Anian, but they always seemed to overlook what Anian liked, and the gifts they gave him were often the same as Anian's.

He could only get his parents' attention by being disobedient, rebellious, and doing those things. He didn't like smoking and thought racing was extremely boring, but he really liked the way his parents focused on him.

until that day.

Dad suddenly received a call from the detective, saying that there was news about his sister.

The two parents left directly.

Wearing a birthday hat, still singing the birthday song, and smiling as he prepared to blow out the candles, Nan Sinian rushed to the door, only to see a car speeding away.

Years of pent-up emotions erupted at this moment.

Nan Sinian took out his phone and called his parents. His tone was cold and his words were vicious as he accused them of failing as parents.

Before the mother on the other side could say anything, a huge collision sounded, followed by a loud explosion.

They... were in a car accident.

The vehicle spontaneously combusted after the impact; it was traveling at a high speed, and the victim was left with no remains.

Nan Shu suddenly thought of An Fugui's case.

At that time, the South team remained very calm throughout, but looking back now, is it possible that for a moment, the South team was reminded of the death of their parents?

"...So, I'm the one who killed them."

He will never know what his mother wanted to say to him after hearing those words.

Nan Sinian raised the wine bottle.

Nan Shu half-stood up and snatched it.

"Alright, Brother Sinian, stop drinking."

Nan Sinian gave her a half-smile and glanced at her, "Why are you starting to tell me what to do?"

Nan Shu didn't speak, but wiped the mouth of the bottle with the hem of Nan Sinian's clothes.

Nan Sinian was both amused and exasperated.

"You still look down on me."

"Yes, I am a little bit of a germaphobe..." It was something she had in her past life, so you can't blame her for it.

Nan Shu tilted her head back and took a small sip, her face immediately contorting in disgust. The whiskey… was both spicy and awful…

"Bah bah bah!"

Nan Sinian couldn't help but burst out laughing, throwing his head back and laughing with schadenfreude.

The two bodyguards, separated by a door, exchanged a glance and saw the emotion in each other's eyes: Second Young Master, it's been a long time since you've smiled like this.

Nan Shu rolled her eyes at him and disdainfully shoved the bottle back at him. "How could you drink that?"

"Alcohol is all the same, whether it's strong aroma, soy sauce aroma, draft beer, aged red wine, specially mixed cocktails... After drinking too much, it's all the same."

Nan Sinian didn't mind and drank the last drop of wine in the bottle.

Nan Shu turned her head to look at him, her gaze lingering on his face for a few seconds, before saying, "Brother Si Nian, this isn't your fault. Your father was driving at the time, so there's no way he was distracted by what you said..."

"The car accident was an accident, don't blame yourself too much."

Nan Sinian smiled but did not reply.

The feeling of self-blame.

It's not something you can just get rid of, especially as your birthday approaches, the things from back then become clearer.

From helplessness and confusion to panic and worry, finally, regret clung to his heart like thorny vines, tightly enveloping Nan Sinian.

The reason I haven't mentioned it for so many years isn't because I've forgotten, but because I've let go of it and forgiven myself.

Instead, they had long been accustomed to the presence of thorns.

Every year on his birthday, which is also the anniversary of his parents' death, Ci would stir restlessly, as if reminding him that he had not yet paid for his sins.

Nan Shu also knew that such pale words of comfort were powerless.

If emotions could simply be talked about and turn into butterflies and fly away, there wouldn't be so many people suffering from depression in the world.

"Actually, compared to Si Nian Ge... I've never even met my biological parents..."

Nan Shu turned her head away and deliberately lowered her voice, as if she had suddenly become drunk.

"Womanly?"

Nan Sinian was taken aback.

Nan Shu turned around and pulled his coat over her head. After all, Nan Sinian was a movie star. If he saw her face, he would definitely know she was acting.

Nan Shu knew she didn't have the ability to act in front of a movie star.

"Actually, the Nan family treats me fairly well, but perhaps it's because of blood ties... I just can't seem to feel close to them..."

Nan Shu began to recall the original owner's memories.

Nan Shu was not lying.

The original owner was not happy in the Nan family; in fact, one could say she felt repressed.

She disliked the daily etiquette classes and the banquets, but her parents insisted on taking her. The original owner liked handicrafts and even made a mountain globe, but her father smashed it for being uneducated.

The original owner of Hangzhou University was admitted through his own abilities.

With the original owner's scores, she could have gone to a better school, such as... Kyoto University.

But Nan's mother, it's better for a girl to live close to home; the capital is too far away.

Even the major was chosen by Nan's mother for the original owner. It was finance, a major that neither the original owner nor Nan Shu was interested in.

Nan's parents, however, were very satisfied.

"...Until the truth about the real and fake heiresses came out, I was kicked out of the Nan family, and my biological parents..."

Nan Shu paused, her voice a little hoarse, and raised her hand to press her slightly sore eyes.

I don't know if it's because I've become Nan Shu and am still affected by the lingering emotions in my body, but as I talk about this, I feel inexplicably blocked up and suffocated.

He passed away during the summer vacation three years ago.

Nan Wan escaped the fire because she went out to buy soy sauce, but the fire spread very quickly, and the two of them didn't have time to escape.

and so.

To this day, the original owner has only seen the ID photos of her biological parents at the archives management office.

The original owner of this body had never spent a single day with her biological parents, and neither had Nan Shu.

She didn't even know what her parents looked like.

From this point of view.

Nan Shu and the original owner's background seem to resonate with each other as if by fate.
