Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 57 - Hatred is Hard to Dispel
Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Hatred is Hard to Dispel
Chapter 57 -57 Hatred is Hard to Dispel
Although these words were well-intentioned, Han Yi furrowed his brows upon hearing them, and even Yan Xiao felt somewhat displeased, thinking to himself, “What’s wrong with men? Can’t men take good care of others? Besides, Han Jiaojiao is eighteen years old, not eleven or twelve. She’s already eighteen. Speaking as if she can’t take care of herself, what does that mean? Isn’t it just a roundabout way of taking her to Yunan Base?”
“Brother,” Han Jiaojiao, who had been silent until now, suddenly called out.
She shifted in the car, turning her back toward Qin Nanyi’s direction, not even glancing at her, and said in a steady voice, “Let’s go home, I’m not feeling well.”
Han Yi and Qin Nanyi couldn’t see Han Jiaojiao’s face, but Yan Xiao, from his angle, could see it clearly. He saw Han Jiaojiao’s face was cold as frost, her eyes icy, which took him by surprise. He thought to himself that this young girl, perhaps from spending too much time with Brother Han, had developed a disturbingly grim expression.
Thinking so didn’t shift his support from Han Jiaojiao, and Yan Xiao feigned concern as he called out, “Jiaojiao? Are you alright? Brother Han, let’s hurry along. Jiaojiao seems to be really uncomfortable.”
Qin Nanyi was somewhat reluctant, but she didn’t interfere. She knew Han Yi’s character and that continuing to speak would only make him angry.
Watching the armored SUV drive away, Qin Nanyi felt a surge of sorrow. —— She had already done her best; why couldn’t he spare her a second glance? In terms of looks, education, talents, family background, which aspect did she not match him? Everyone in Qingjiang City said they were the perfect match, yet over the years, he had remained indifferent…
Qin Nanyi truly didn’t understand this man. She had no lack of suitors around her, and she believed herself to be quite knowledgeable about the psychology of men, yet he was always the one she couldn’t comprehend. And yet, as things often go, the less she understood him, the deeper she fell. Even now, she didn’t know whether it was love or merely an obsession…
In the car, Han Jiaojiao pressed her lips together, staying silent. Her mood was definitely not good at the moment.
Initially, it was encountering Su Xue, and then Qin Nanyi. The faces of these people intertwined and overlapped with those in her memory, stirring up the bloodthirsty hatred from within her, causing waves of agitation that made even her breathing uneasy. She decided to close her eyes, leaned in Han Yi’s embrace, and chose to remain silent.
What she hated the most was that she could do nothing about it.
She always adhered to a ridiculous rule because in this life, neither Su Xue nor Qin Nanyi had done anything! Thus, she couldn’t kill them! But, did she really have to wait for them to act first? How foolish!
Consequently, she seemed to have fallen into a cyclical trap.
This life might not unfold like the past one; Su Xue might not have the chance to betray her, and Qin Nanyi might not harm her and her brother. If she were to kill them arbitrarily, it wouldn’t just be unfair to them, but it could also lead to unnecessary trouble. After all, the Qin Family wasn’t easy to provoke. Yet, was she supposed to just sit by and wait to die? To watch passively as the events of her past life unfolded one by one? How would she be any different from her past self?
No, that’s not right…
She needed to think through this thoroughly.
The ring stolen by Du Wenbo from the institute had been snatched by her. Du Wenbo’s continued flattery towards Qin Nanyi wouldn’t affect the future any longer. Without the ring, Wenhao naturally couldn’t obtain it either. Even if he intended something, he would need to seek other methods. The institute’s ability-enhancing potions? Ha, she wished Wenhao would inject more of it; the drugs revealed significant side effects later on.
As for Su Xue, she wouldn’t have the chance to drive a wedge between her and her brother anymore, let alone have the opportunity to sell herself for Crystal Cores. Merely a small-time clown, not worthy of fear.
However… Qin Nanyi needed to be watched, the Qin Family was always a latent threat.
Han Jiaojiao remembered Qin Nanyi from her past life; in Beicheng Base, she was highly exalted, with countless people adoring her. She had ambiguous relationships with many top-ranking individuals in Beicheng Base, which now seemed suspicious. She could have easily stayed in Yunan, so why come to Beicheng? Was it really just to follow her brother?
And Wenhao, from when did he start harboring resentment towards her brother? Had the people from Beicheng Base been bribed? Were they conspiring together to frame her brother?
The more Han Jiaojiao thought about it, the more her head hurt. She had never been particularly clever; living hazily in her previous life, and now in this life, the situation hadn’t cleared up. Overthinking things, her brain felt as if it was tied in knots, swollen and uncomfortable.
The previous times they had driven out, although she hadn’t talked much, she would still chat and laugh with Yan Xiao and others. Today, her unusual silence, coupled with Yan Xiao’s quiet, gave the car’s atmosphere an eerily calm quietness.
Han Yi gently pinched Han Jiaojiao’s palm, and his deep voice resounded in her mind, “Baby doesn’t like Qin Nanyi?”
Han Jiaojiao didn’t deny it and gently nodded her head against him.
This was obvious. After all, she had been fine just a moment ago, but had changed after seeing Qin Nanyi. Han Yi realized that since his sister was discharged from the hospital, she had grown to dislike many people. She had not been like this before. Apart from showing obvious disgust and resistance in front of him, Han Jiaojiao always maintained a polite and modest attitude in front of others; she was a kind and good girl who never made enemies, even if someone spoke harshly to her, she wouldn’t hold a grudge against them.
Han Yi spoke to her using his spiritual power, “Why don’t you like her?”
“She likes you.” Han Jiaojiao glared at him unhappily.
The corners of Han Yi’s mouth slightly lifted, “Brother doesn’t like her.”
“I know, if you liked her, I would…”
Han Yi paused for a moment.
Communication through spiritual power wasn’t like text or dialogue that could be understood word by word; it tended more towards an understanding on a level of consciousness. The more complex the consciousness, the more difficult the communication would be. As a result, Han Yi didn’t understand the latter part of Han Jiaojiao’s thought at first. However, he pieced together some information from it, roughly that she forbade him to like anyone else, and if he fell for someone else, she would tell everyone that he was fickle in love and a heartbreaker, and so on.
At that moment, Han Jiaojiao’s eyes swiveled, and she mentally added, “I won’t smile at any other men, and you are not allowed to talk to her. She’s not a good woman! Don’t see her anymore.”
Um, he understood that statement too.
The smile deepened on Han Yi’s lips.
Yan Xiao, seeing in the rearview mirror that the faces of the two behind were easing up, also breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, “I don’t know how Xiao Jian is doing now, looks like we won’t be having his specialty spicy hot pot today. Kerry can only make sandwiches and fried potatoes. I wonder how we’ll solve dinner tonight…”
By this point, Han Jiaojiao had returned to her usual self. Sitting up, she said, “How about we have barbecue? It’s been a long time since we’ve had that!”
Yan Xiao teased her, “No meat, no happiness, huh? Aren’t you afraid of gaining weight?”
Han Jiaojiao giggled and said, “I think you’re too skinny; you need to bulk up. Look at your arms, as thin as toothpicks, even thinner than a girl’s. No wonder Xiao Jian always carries the guns.”
Yan Xiao glared, rolled up his sleeve to show his upper arm, and shouted, “See this muscle? No taste in men!”
Han Jiaojiao looked sympathetic and said, “I see it, such lean pork loin.”
Lu Changyuan next to him choked, laughing so hard he almost didn’t maintain control of the steering wheel.
Yan Xiao’s eyes bulged, and he shakily pointed at Han Jiaojiao, saying, “Han Brother, you just watch your brother get bullied?”
Lu Changyuan chuckled on the side, “Yan Xiao, you’ve come back to life! Arguing with a little girl about lip service, you’ve really outdone yourself!”
Yan Xiao heaved a heavy sigh, “My poor fate!——”
Han Jiaojiao lay in Han Yi’s arms, almost dying of laughter.
