Chapter 417: Chapter 418: Have you learned about the professor’s matter?
Li Xiaotian’s face turned pale, and she nodded blankly, "Yes..."
"Xia Tian, we were only 16 then, even if you took that man’s pants off yourself, even if you were willing, and you weren’t conscious at that time, if anything had happened, we could have accused that soldier of rape. A soldier knowing the law and breaking it is a more serious crime!"
Mu Shini’s breathing tightened, her eyelids fluttered gently, and her eyes trembled slightly.
Li Xiaotian’s face grew even paler, she shook her head and said, "Nian Nian, I understand all that, but you know, if something like that had happened to me, it would have brought shame to my family. And I had no idea who that soldier was... Soldiers look the same in uniforms and hats!"
She had no memory at all.
Losing her virginity at 16 did change her.
"Nian Nian, what about you? Did anything happen that night? Were you..." Li Xiaotian asked fearfully, furrowing her brows.
Especially now that Nian Nian’s status is not ordinary. If something had happened back then, she would be the culprit!
Mu Shini shook her head, her gaze darkened, and she said in a low voice, "I vaguely remember a man forcibly giving me some medicine, but he didn’t do anything else. That should have been an antidote. I’ve dreamed about that scene several times, and after that night, I’ve had periodic outbreaks of red spots on my body..."
"I’ve been on leave these days to recuperate, and this time the red spots that appeared were quite severe, the skin felt like it was burnt."
As Mu Shini spoke, she exposed her neck, parting her hair to show the still visible red marks to Li Xiaotian.
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian’s brow furrowed slightly, she stepped forward and said to Mu Shini, "Nian Nian, I shouldn’t have taken you with me back then..."
Mu Shini shook her head, "It’s okay, some things are destined to happen, just like we don’t know what will happen tomorrow."
"Nian Nian, are you not blaming me?" Li Xiaotian looked at Mu Shini with guilt, biting her lips and asking in a low voice.
Mu Shini lightly furrowed her brows, and after a pause said, "Back then, I volunteered to help you, it’s not your fault. And now the doctor has prescribed me medication. After taking it for a while, it will be fine."
"Nian Nian, I thought you were just having a simple allergy, I didn’t expect it to be a reaction from the medication trial that caused you to be like this, and the Mu Family still treated you that way, seeing you as a monster." Li Xiaotian held Mu Shini with an aggrieved expression, crying helplessly, "Nian Nian, I’m really sorry, it’s all my carelessness, I thought it was just a conflict between you and your family..."
She had heard from Nian Nian that the Mu Family said she was suffering from syphilis.
But who would have thought it was the consequence of the medication trial.
Mu Shini also raised her hand, patting Li Xiaotian’s back, furrowing her brows, "Xia Tian, I never blamed you from the beginning to the end, I just wanted to make sure if you were okay because Dr. Zhuo said, if I had delayed any longer, it would have been a big trouble. So I was scared you might be like me..."
"Nian Nian, you asked me about what happened back then just to know if I was okay?" Li Xiaotian gently released Mu Shini, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Nian Nian, you’re so good to me..."
"Then be my good sister for life! If anything happens, make sure to consult with me." Mu Shini extended her hand to hold Li Xiaotian’s hand, saying seriously, "You are even better to me than my own sister. In you and Cheng Cheng, I’ve felt a bond beyond friendship; you both protect me, respect me, and consider me in every way, more than any family member could."
Especially before Li Xiaotian went to the USA, without a second thought, she gave her fifty thousand yuan to pay off her debt.
Li Xiaotian nodded, "Hmm..."
Then she thought of something and frowned, "Nian Nian, do you know about the professor’s matter?"
