There is no tenderness, no love, only unspeakable fear, countless forbearance, and self-revealing of scars all the time, and self-healing, can only please day after day, in this way To avoid possible beatings and scolding, it eventually led to her character of being so trembling and terrified of everything around her.

"Aren't you curious, how did your father die?"

Lin Nan still lowered her head and stood there tremblingly.

But Jingcheng explained on his own.

"He died for me."

"Your father was my bodyguard. He died in an assassination against me a few days ago."

Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Nan to know Jing Cheng's identity, including everyone at today's funeral. They only knew that Jing Cheng was Lin Tiannan's boss and was very rich.

After all, to become Jingcheng's bodyguard, he would naturally sign a corresponding confidentiality agreement.

And following Jingcheng's words, Lin Nan still maintained his original appearance, without any other reaction.

Jingcheng could see that she really had no reaction, except for fear, which was just blind fear.

You don't even know how to resist, you just know how to endure silently?

That's true, after all, even if she resisted in the past, it would only anger Lin Tiannan, so it's better to bear it.

Jingcheng sighed inwardly.

"As compensation, do you have an elder you like, or do you have someone you want him to adopt you, just say it, and I will handle it for you."

"As for your father's debt, you don't need to worry, it has been paid off."

Hearing this, for some reason, Lin Nan felt more panic emanating from his body, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Jingcheng just thought about it and then understood.

It's true, after all, it's just the world view in Jingcheng, maybe the family...is a source of violence.

Her father and her father's friends let her cognition be wrong, domestic violence is normal, and as a child, she has to bear it obediently.

So at this time, Jingcheng's words, in her understanding, naturally sent her to another family, let her go to another completely strange family, to experience violence.

It can only be said that she is still too young to recognize the world clearly, and she doesn't know that people like Lin Tiannan are not the majority of people.

Jingcheng understood, and didn't continue to force it.

She took a sip of the poor-quality tea that was still a little hot.

"If you don't want to, you can choose to be celibate. I will provide you with the funds to live your entire life comfortably. If you have any troubles, you can also contact me."

Jingcheng didn't intend to adopt Lin Nan, because she knew very well that adoption was not a simple decision that could be described as adding a pair of chopsticks to the dinner table.

If she adopts her, she will be responsible for Lin Nan's future life. Whether Lin Nan is good or bad is all her responsibility.

And Lin Nan is currently not ready to be responsible for a child's life, nor does he think that he will be a good elder who can bring a good education to the child.

But just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden click in the whole house, and the lights went out.

Coupled with the fact that the curtains were drawn extremely tightly, the room was suddenly plunged into an exceptionally dim darkness.

power cut?Probably not.After all, in Jingcheng's memory, Tianhai didn't know how long it had been without a power outage, even in the old community, and even if the power outage would be for maintenance during the day.

So it's probably out of charge.

Even though the darkness came so suddenly, Jing Cheng didn't panic at all, and his eyes remained cold and unchanged.

However, Lin Nan suddenly froze for a moment, and then his whole body trembled unspeakably violently.

In the dim light, looking at her trembling body more than ever before, Jing Cheng frowned and asked.

"Lin Nan?"

But Lin Nan seemed to turn a deaf ear, but his body was shaking like sifting chaff.

The dark environment and the claustrophobic space reminded her of those three days in the warehouse.

Since that incident, she has been afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of claustrophobic spaces.

The same darkness, and hearing his father's words to let him die there, the threat of the vicious uncle emerged in front of his eyes.

Silent fear gradually spread from her heart. The helplessness and fear made her pupils tremble violently, and her forehead was constantly sweating.

She couldn't control her body and squatted down, her breathing was heavy, and even Jing Cheng's voice calling her seemed to become far, far away.

The death of my father, the helplessness of being alone in this world, the confusion about the future, and the fear at this moment all ignited.

She collapsed... her psychological defense completely collapsed.

"Don't come here...don't come here...help me."

Lin Nan squatted on the ground, his face was covered with fragmented cracks.

She is whimpering.

Crying sad and helpless.

She didn't cry when Lin Tiannan died, and she was terrified when she saw Jing Cheng's sudden visit, but she didn't cry, so she didn't know how long she hadn't cried.

But suddenly, she seemed to feel a cold, but inexplicably warm palm caressing the top of her head.

For some reason, it seemed that all the grievances had found an outlet at this moment, and her crying became louder and louder until she burst into tears.

Gradually gradually, it became weaker and weaker, until it fell asleep.

After all, she had suffered too much these days, and she was already exhausted physically and mentally. After venting at this moment, she naturally fell asleep.

She sat on the ground with her knees hugged, leaning against Jing Cheng's legs, and fell asleep like this, while Jing Cheng gently patted her head.

Suddenly the door was opened, and Steward Wang, who heard the noise, broke in, and this was the scene that caught his eye.

But before he could ask, he saw Jing Cheng's indifferent eyes.

Even though Jingcheng didn't say anything, Butler Wang still understood what she meant.

Silence.

Then he nodded and backed out.

In the dark room, Jing Cheng tilted his head to look at Lin Nan who was leaning against his feet. Even though she was sleeping, she was still curled up tightly, feeling very insecure.

Jing Cheng gently stroked her head, his eyes were calm in the dim light, and he didn't know what emotion it was.

--

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Nan slowly opened her eyes, feeling very tired but relaxed. After all, she hadn't slept so deeply for many days.

But when she was gradually waking up, she felt as if she was leaning on something cold, but extremely delicate and smooth.

She subconsciously turned her head to see a pair of long, slender legs that were as clean as jade. Looking up, she met a pair of indifferent eyes.

Lin Nan, who was frightened, leaned back suddenly and fell to the ground, trembling and very uneasy.

Did I sleep all night leaning on this sister's leg?

This is indeed the case. It is not that Jingcheng has tried to move her to the sofa or bed, but every time she wants to move Lin Nan, she will suddenly frown tightly and lean against Jingcheng's body very uneasy. The legs are tighter, as if they will wake up every moment.

Seeing this, Jingcheng can forget about it.

She just sat on the stool all night, while Lin Nan slept very soundly.

Looking at Lin Nan who was sitting tremblingly on the ground, as if afraid of being scolded, Jing Cheng couldn't help thinking of some things in his previous life, and also thinking about what the system said last night.

A moment later, she spoke, her voice still dull and slightly hoarse.

"Since you can't make a decision, you can follow me for the time being."

18. Fire

Listening to Jing's clear and misty voice, Lin Nan was stunned, even her body stopped shaking.

She didn't understand what Jing Cheng said, exactly what it meant.

But Jingcheng didn't continue to explain, but got up from the stool.

But just after she got up, she didn't know why she stood still and didn't move.

After all, she didn't move her posture or her legs all night, so the already pampered Miss Jingcheng's legs were already numb and sore.

It wasn't until the past twenty seconds that the sensation in both legs was fully recovered and the discomfort disappeared, and then he walked outside the house.

And Lin Nan just froze in place, thinking about Jing Cheng's words.

The faint words came again.

"Follow."

Lin Nan came back to his senses, looked at Jingcheng's flaming red dress, but without a warm back, subconsciously got up and followed.

Going outside, Lin Nan was shocked by the sight in front of him.

On both sides of the dilapidated stairs facing down and up, there were at least 20 tall men in suits standing.

When they saw Jing Cheng, they immediately bowed with incomparable respect, and a uniform and deep voice sounded.

"Miss."

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan was terrified, and for some reason subconsciously hid behind Jing Cheng.

At this moment, the door next door opened suddenly.

"Early in the morning, you were making a fuss about...what...what?"

Before the man could say anything, his face turned pale when he saw the scene in the corridor, and he immediately closed the door again.

And this movement naturally woke Butler Wang up.

Only then did Lin Nan realize that there was an old man in a suit lying beside his door.

As if he had just woken up, he was in a trance at first, but after seeing Jing Cheng, he immediately woke up, and immediately turned his back to wipe off the dirt on his face and the corners of his eyes like a wet wipe.

After a moment, he stood up.

"Miss!"

He has a serious face, but his heart is full of anticipation.

I believe that seeing me sleeping on the ground and not wanting to leave, the eldest lady must be very moved!

He also deliberately didn't pat off the dust on his body, just to get the praise of the eldest lady!

This is Steward Wang's careful scheming to fight for favor. Obviously, the bodyguards brought him a simple bed, but he didn't want it on purpose, just to let Jing Cheng see that he was an old man, and he was still loyally guarding the door lying on the cold ground. The appearance of sleeping!

Woo hoo!So touched!I am so moved!

But unfortunately, the result let him down.

After Jing Cheng glanced at him, he walked downstairs, while Lin Nan followed her timidly.

Steward Wang was left alone in the wind, and he didn't recover until all the staff went downstairs.

"Miss! Wait for me!"

----

Inside the luxurious and high-end spacious business car, Lin Nan, who was still wearing white filial piety, was very restless.

As if she was afraid of getting such a clean and high-end car dirty, she didn't even dare to sit down completely, her buttocks were only lightly touching the seat, and the focus was basically on her feet.

This also stems from her low self-esteem.

Jingcheng is still not ready to be responsible for a child's life, and he doesn't think he can educate a child well, especially Lin Nan, who is obviously distorted in values ​​and has already been riddled with holes.

But Jingcheng also knew that if Lin Nan was left alone, she would become a tragedy sooner or later.

[With a clear conscience!Even though it was detected that the host found it troublesome, it still did not ignore Lin Nan who was in a miserable situation, and a special reward of 100 points! 】

[System comment: Wuwuwu Nannan is so pitiful! 】

Jingcheng ignored the voice in his head, and now is not suitable for lottery drawing.

She looked at Lin Nan who was fidgeting and panicking in the opposite seat.

"Before you figure out your plan for your life, just follow me for a while."

Hearing the sudden voice, Lin Nan shook violently and nodded quickly.

Immediately, she subconsciously wanted to kneel down and thank her, because at this moment she also understood that what Jing Cheng meant was to temporarily adopt her.

But she just got up, and when her knees were only slightly bent, cold words like ice floes on the surface of the Arctic Ocean sounded, making her freeze in place.

"No kneeling, no kneeling from now on."
