When Lu Yinchu got in the car, he took out his phone to call Nanxi, but since Nanxi was pregnant, she did not keep the phone on herself; it was with Xia Yu!
Xia Yu had just arrived at the hospital. He informed Lu Yinchu of Nanxi’s whereabouts in the café!
Upon hearing from Xia Yu that Nanxi had run into two of her friends from the magazine agency, Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows!
The radar that men have for other men is very sharp. From the moment Lu Yinchu met Lin Pinzhi, he could discern things from his eyes that only men would understand!
Lin Pinzhi was twenty-eight this year, a promising young man full of talent and ideas!
Lu Yinchu never considered him a foe in his world, yet his possessiveness towards Nanxi made him insanely jealous every time he saw she received just a bit more attention from another man.
He stayed in the office for a long time, trying to spoil Nanxi’s village interview by heavy spending and had his grandfather help him prevent Nanxi from continuing her work at the magazine agency so that she could calmly stay at home and prepare for their baby!
Besides concerns for Nanxi’s safety during pregnancy, another crucial reason was Lin Pinzhi.
He was certain that Lin Pinzhi knew everything, including that he was the one financing his current project and his relationship with Nanxi. Perhaps even that Nanxi was actually Sunny-girl...
Then, what was this man’s purpose for keeping his silence?
He wasn’t curious, but he wanted to know.
More accurately, he needed to know!
Thinking of this, his knuckles tightened on the steering wheel, and he stepped on the accelerator again!
Nanxi’s pupils trembled. Memory seemed to recall something. Lin Pinzhi had indeed said!
She turned to Lin Pinzhi, somewhat puzzled, "Senior, you... you must have remembered wrong. I honestly have no recollection of having met you!"
"No!" Lin Pinzhi shook his head, "I really have met you! More accurately, I’ve seen your picture! Though it wasn’t you at your current age, for in that photo you appeared to be younger, around your teens..."
"In my teens?" Nanxi was startled, inexplicably feeling something stirring inside her, she looked at him, "Where did you see my photo? Where?"
"..." Nanxi bit her lip, "Thailand?"
Lin Pinzhi said, "I was working for a magazine agency in the United States at that time, mainly responsible for social services and medical health issues. I traveled all around the world with my team for interviews, meeting all kinds of people, mostly impoverished and living at the bottom in society!"
"About three years ago, I went on a trip to Thailand and did an interview at a local nursing home. I stayed there for about a week and had conversations with virtually everyone there. Among them was a man who seemed around fifty, aged and silent. When others were interviewed, they had endless sorrows to tell. But not him, he barely uttered a word. He said he had nothing to say. He spoke Mandarín, he was Chinese..."
Nanxi’s finger bones tightened over the cup of milk tea, she had difficulty breathing!
Lin Pinzhi continued his tale, "Later, I learned from others that the man’s name was Basong, his wife was Nina. They were in the nursing home for many years. For the first three years, his wife appeared to be bedridden, taken before Basong. Now she can walk, but she seems to be mentally impaired, she doesn’t recognize him or anyone else!"
"Doesn’t recognize anyone?" Nanxi felt a deep pain in her chest as if something had hollowed in her.
"Yes!" Lin Pinzhi nodded, "So, I became curious about this couple and went to see him again. At that time, he was washing his wife’s feet. Her complexion was pale. Although she was middle-aged and didn’t recognize anybody, she seemed to have a fine temperament. They looked quite harmonious together!"
Over the years, Lin Pinzhi had interviewed in nearly every corner of the world, there seemed to be no types of people he hadn’t met or peculiar things he hadn’t encountered?!
But strangely, his biggest impression was on this couple!
He remembered the scene where the husband was washing his wife’s feet. It was very touching and made people feel warmth. So, he raised his camera to capture the moment!
Yet the sound of the camera shutter and light horrified the woman. She turned around and gave him a look that was fearful and baffled.
