The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 14
Xi Jinnan put out his cigarette, leaned on the back of the sofa, put his hands together on his chin, tilted his head slightly and looked out the window, the words came, fluttering, Nie Ranqing's heart seemed to be pulled tight by a rope and then let go.

"Nie Ranqing, I have always hoped that you would know what you really want. I can tolerate your willfulness, but I will never tolerate your betrayal, no matter what form it is in."

His movements are obviously extremely lazy, but the atmosphere is strangely depressing, which is simply shocking.Nie Ranqing could only vaguely see his movements, his tone was cold and calm, and his whole person was even alienated and indifferent.

The sound insulation effect of the windows is very good. Nie Ranqing moistened her dry lips and opened her mouth to explain, but she didn't know how to start.There was a dead silence in the room, she even found it difficult to breathe, finally Xi Jinnan broke the silence: "Go take a shower, it's very stuffy outside, you should sweat a lot after going out."

Tonight was the worst atmosphere since they got married.The weather was too stuffy. Although the air conditioner was turned on in the house, Nie Ranqing still felt uncomfortable from head to toe after taking a shower. Moreover, she was also faintly irritable.When she was sleeping, she and Xi Jinnan were far away, and they were back to back.The two of them occupy the left and right ends of the big bed, and the middle is as wide as a river or a canyon.

Just now she and Xi Jinnan were going to turn off the wall lamp, but Xi Jinnan's hand touched the switch a second earlier than hers, so Nie Ranqing had to take it back.She looked up at him, Xi Jinnan's expression was very stern, his dark eyes were not smiling at all, and even his lips were tightly pursed, which was obviously an expression of displeasure.

Nie Ranqing sighed silently in her heart, she didn't know how to explain what happened this afternoon to Xi Jinnan.Could it be that she is allergic to the smell of cigarettes, she would get a headache when she smelled it, and she was very disturbed this afternoon, did that sentence come out of her mouth?She believed that the more this explanation was told, the more it went wrong.

The longer the Cold War lasts, the more unfavorable it is to resolve essential issues.The longer it is dragged on, it will be like a slowly solidified colloid. Although it can be peeled off, it will still leave traces.Nie Ranqing understands this truth very well, but she is really not good at adjusting this situation.

Nie Ranqing kept lying on his side all night, Xi Jinnan's expression was cold, and her expression was not much better.Later, half of her body became very stiff, and she turned over a little bit, but she still couldn't fall asleep, so she had to open her eyes and look out the window.

The night view of T City is very beautiful, even the dark tall buildings are worth admiring.The navigation light in the distance flickered, Nie Ranqing stared at it for a long time, his eyes were dry and astringent, and finally cultivated a little drowsiness, and squinted for a while when the sky was about to dawn.

When she woke up, Xi Jinnan still had her eyes closed, and the two of them maintained their posture very well throughout the night, Xi Jinnan was still on the other side, and Nie Ranqing was still on the other side.She got out of bed, went to cook first, and then went to wash slowly. The person in the mirror was dressed messily, her hair was slanted up with a hairpin, her pajamas were not changed, and her eyes were even more faintly blue.

She bent down to the mirror to look at her dark circles, and then looked at her eyelashes.Nie Ranqing's eyelashes are long and curved, making her eyes very lively, and even if she squints, there is a sly smile on her face.

Once Nie Ranqing took a close look at Xi Jinnan's eyelashes. His eyelashes are also curved and long, plus a pair of narrow and beautiful eyes. If he wears a faint smile, he can attract the attention of the opposite sex.But this is just a hypothesis. Xi Jinnan has many things to be satisfied with. His eyes are often used to scan people and intimidate people. The faint sense of alienation is usually carried out by the eyes. He basically has no time to make charming gestures to gather people from all sides. favor.

As Nie Ranqing thought about it, her eyes slightly bent, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Just as she was about to straighten up, she found Xi Jinnan standing behind her, leaning on the door frame to watch her childish and inexplicable movements.

Nie Ranqing turned sideways in embarrassment, changed the subject and said, "Breakfast is ready."

Xi Jinnan let out a noncommittal "Mm", walked around her to wash up, and said in that unhurried tone: "Is there class today?"

"Both in the morning and afternoon, come back around five or six in the afternoon."

Xi Jinnan splashed water on his face, straightened up and looked at her through the mirror: "It will probably rain today, I'll take you to school."

Nie Ranqing froze for a moment: "Oh, good."

It was rush hour, and there were people and cars everywhere, and their cars were moving very slowly in the traffic flow.Nie Ranqing turned on the stereo, propped her chin to see the impatient expressions of the people outside the window.The atmosphere in the car was not very good, just like the cloudy weather outside.Xi Jinnan's spirit is also not very good. Things like the Cold War are really not very pleasing.Nie Ranqing felt very depressed, and she couldn't stand this state of silence over sound, and she would have a strange feeling no matter what she did, and she couldn't get rid of it.

Both she and Yao Mi are good at hurting people, but it is extremely difficult to express sweet words.Nie Ranqing felt that she was really not suitable for such things as holding someone's arm and acting like a baby, but she couldn't think of a better way besides this.It turned out that when she and Xi Jinnan were in a cold war, both of them tacitly stopped talking about the past, and the cold war never lasted more than one night.The current situation drove Nie Ranqing into a frenzy.

It took an hour and a half on the road, but luckily their classes haven't started yet.Just as Nie Ranqing was about to get out of the car, Xi Jinnan stopped him: "I will pick you up at 05:30 in the afternoon."

His chin became more angular because of Leng Ran, and his right hand was not far from her, with a thoughtful expression.Nie Ranqing looked at him, hesitated for a few seconds, closed the car door, and looked out the window to make sure that no one was paying attention.She sighed in her heart, and suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

Her strength is a bit strong, Xi Jinnan looked at her, a little surprised.

Nie Ranqing blinked several times, Xi Jinnan looked at the caught sleeve and asked, "What's the matter?"

Nie Ranqing closed his eyes, looking righteous, and wanted to say something, but he gave up, and opened his eyes, then shook his head discouraged.She let go of his sleeve, feeling very confused.Just as he was about to get off the car, Xi Jinnan grabbed his wrist with his backhand. He used his skill slightly, and the next moment their faces were extremely close.

Xi Jinnan grabbed her chin and forced her to open her mouth. When Nie Ranqing was stunned, he took advantage of it.

She was pinned on the seat and couldn't move, Xi Jinnan opened his eyes and kissed her casually, taking every inch of her expression into his eyes.The kiss was very intense, without a trace of tenderness, but rather like punishment.Nie Ranqing frowned slightly, trying to push him away, but couldn't.

He didn't let her go until her cheeks were flushed.Nie Ranqing blinked, exhaled lightly, and tried hard to regain her sanity.When he looked up again, Xi Jinnan had returned to his original position, looked out the window, and said softly, "Go to class, I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

The weather was sweltering in the morning, and people in the classroom were close to each other, and the sweltering feeling surrounded every inch of skin. When Nie Ranqing thought of the scene that happened in the car in the morning, it became even more sweltering.

We had dinner together at noon, Yao Mi pinched her chin to tease her, but Nie Ranqing hid even more.

Yao Mi said: "Why are you hiding? It's not like our family has never done this before."

"We don't know each other well."

Yao Mi smiled sweetly, gently picked the other party's chin with her index finger, and said in a shrill voice: "Sister Nie, your face is so bad, is it dissatisfaction with desire or excessive indulgence last night, quickly and honestly."

Nie Ranqing laughed and scolded: "Get lost."

Unexpectedly, eating lunch was also very uncomfortable.

Yao Mi was gossiping about the recent relationship history of a certain actress when Nie Ranqing received a call from Lu Pei.

Yao Mi leaned over, looked at the caller ID, pretended to be enlightened, and then was knocked back by Nie Ranqing to eat food quietly.

The phone rang twice more, but Nie Ranqing still picked it up.

Lu Pei pointed to the point this time: "I want to talk to you face to face about something."

"what's up?"

"Did Nie Ranxi look for you last night? What she said is not true. I will tell you what happened three years ago."

Nie Ranqing lightly touched the clean glass and said, "Didn't you always refuse to tell me, how can you do it now?"

Lu Pei was silent for a while, and his voice became low and slow: "I always thought that it might be better if you didn't know about the original things. If you blame me, you will complain. Even if you hate me to death, it is my fault. But today I suddenly feel that if you are kept in the dark like this, you will never be able to free yourself from the past."

Nie Ranqing was silent for a while: "Let's change the subject."

Lu Pei sighed and said, "You don't want to mention this again."

"I don't want to mention it, hang up, goodbye."

There was no reply for a long time, Nie Ranqing counted from one to three, and then hung up the phone.

After two days of gloomy and sweltering heat, it finally rained in T city in the afternoon.It was cloudy and treacherous outside, but in broad daylight it was as dark as splashed ink.Everyone's attention was focused on the thunderstorm outside the window, Nie Ranqing sighed on the podium: "Come on, we will speed up the class in the next class, let's end the get out of class now."

The students below laughed and then cheered.

Class ended half an hour early, and there was still a long time before Xi Jinnan came to pick him up. Nie Ranqing wanted to call Xi Jinnan and ask him to come over early. If someone is holding an important meeting or meeting with guests, then she will be in trouble.

She and Yao Mi chatted without talking in the office of the college building, but received a call from Lu Pei again 5 minutes later.

Lu Pei spoke more directly this time: "I'm at the north gate of your school, where are you?"

Nie Ranqing was surprised: "What are you doing here?"

"Where are you?"

"What do you want?"

"Where are you?"

In the end, Nie Ranqing succumbed: "The college building."

Yao Mi stood at the window and looked outside, waiting for the rain to subside, and suddenly pointed not far away, with an unbelievable look: "Hey, isn't that person Lu Pei?"

Lu Pei was wearing a light-colored shirt. Because of the rain, the clothes were tightly attached to his body, and his hair was stuck to his face. He was walking towards the college building soaked through.Nie Ranqing followed to see, took an umbrella and immediately turned and went downstairs.

Yao Mi followed me with a look on her face.

The rain was heavy, and there were not many teachers in the college building, and there were even fewer people coming and going.Lu Pei walked towards them until he stood still in front of her.His trousers were still dripping, and he was in a mess.He stopped at the bottom of the steps and refused to move half a step.

Nie Ranqing frowned: "It's raining heavily, come in."

Lu Pei remained motionless.She tried to pull him in, but Lu Pei wanted to grab her arm instead. Nie Ranqing dodged and took a big step back.

Yao Mi was just standing on the sidelines watching the battle, but she laughed: "Lu Pei, why are you so reckless, aren't you threatening people? You have never done this before. You used to be high-spirited, and you can abandon whatever you want We are not as hard-hearted as you are in Ranqing, but we will not let others bully you. If you want to win sympathy and forgiveness through self-torture, then you can torture yourself as much as you want. Xi Jinnan is coming soon. How will you let her deal with it? You are now What exactly do you want to do, can you please explain it clearly once?"

Nie Ranqing was expressionless, handed the umbrella over, and said coldly: "This is the college building, so it's not suitable for talking, you can go back."

Lu Pei held the umbrella while holding her wrist.

Nie Ranqing subconsciously wanted to pull back, but was pulled even tighter by Lu Pei.

Yao Mi suddenly pulled her, and the words came out word by word: "Xi Jinnan."

The rain washed away everything blurred, and Nie Ranqing could only see a tall figure with a vague expression five meters away.

Nie Ranqing paused, and immediately withdrew his hand.

She watched him approaching step by step, her body tensed up inexplicably.

Xi Jinnan stood still in front of her, without squinting, and even smiled slightly: "You are all soaked, don't you feel cold?"

Nie Ranqing looked up at him, he smiled lightly, but she felt a kind of overwhelming anger inexplicably.Xi Jinnan took her hand, dragged her directly into his umbrella, and nodded slightly at Yao Mi, "Sorry, let's take a step first." Then he walked towards the car with his arms around Nie Ranqing involuntarily.

When Nie Ranqing turned her head, Yao Mi was putting one hand on her chest, leaning slightly, and lip-synced to her: "Amitabha."

As soon as Nie Ranqing got into the car, she sneezed. Xi Jinnan glanced at her and took out two facial tissues and handed them over.Nie Ranqing's wet hair was sticking to her forehead and neck, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Xi Jinnan looked at her and didn't speak.

He leaned on the backrest, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and asked slowly after a while, "Why did Lu Pei come to you?"

There was persuasive power in his gaze, and a chill oozes out. Nie Ranqing's heart shudders. Just as he was about to speak, he received a text message at this moment.

Opened it, it turned out to be Yao Mi's, and there were only four words on it: Seek more blessings.

Nie Ranqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and before the smile came back, he hurriedly withdrew it, and when he raised his eyes, he met Xi Jinnan's frosty eyes again.She took a deep breath and shook her head: "I don't know either, he just said he wanted to tell me what happened three years ago."

A mocking smile rose from the corner of Xi Jinnan's mouth: "I can't help it, can I?"

"what?"

Without speaking again, he started the engine, and the car rushed out quickly.

Xi Jinnan was obviously angry this time.From the moment he entered the house to the time she came out after taking a hot bath, to the time she finished drinking the ginger soup, he was always cold and inaccessible.He was sitting on the sofa, holding a magazine in his hand, but he was obviously not thinking about it-he didn't even read a page in a quarter of an hour.The two were far away at first, and then Nie Ranqing thought for a long time, and sat within ten centimeters of him, while Xi Jinnan just glanced at her, and then strode towards the study.

Nie Ranqing looked up at the ceiling, groaned, and fell down on the sofa, wishing that time could be turned back and history could be changed.

When going to bed at night, Nie Ranqing suddenly developed a high fever.She has always been in good health, and things like fever are basically far away from her.When the flu broke out last year, Xi Jinnan was slightly infected. She drank a few bags of Banlangen to survive.Who knew that his body was so weak recently that he could have a fever of 39 degrees even in the rain.She closed her eyes tightly, lying on the bed motionless, with the thin quilt tightly wrapped around her body, Xi Jinnan saw that something was wrong, and called her, but she felt her throat was dry and painful, like a blunt knife being cut, and she didn't want to answer a word .

Xi Jinnan sighed, packed her tightly and went to the hospital.Although it had just finished raining and it was cool outside, Nie Ranqing was wrapped up too tightly, and her hair under the hat was almost dripping with sweat.

Nie Ranqing covered herself uncomfortable, and whispered, "I'm hot."

It's a pity that her body didn't cooperate, and she shivered as soon as she finished speaking.

"Be patient."

Nie Ranqing pursed his lips, not daring to argue anymore.

Registration, consultation, infusion.Just as Nie Ranqing wanted to roll his eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his temples, so he had to close his eyes and rest on the hospital bed.

After having a fever, her mouth was very dry and chapped. She licked her lips, then heard the door open and close, and opened her eyes again, Xi Jinnan had already gone out.

Nie Ranqing lifted a corner of the quilt, looked at the sharp and thin needles, the liquid continued to flow in, and suddenly felt that her scalp was tight, so she immediately covered her with the quilt.She has a kind of fear of needles. Although it is very slight and will not cause dizziness, she still feels uncomfortable.Just now when the little nurse changed the medicine bottle for her, she was obviously absent-minded. Her blood vessels were always clear, but the little nurse unexpectedly made a wrong prick. Nie Ranqing had her eyes closed tightly. Almost bounced.Looking at the little nurse with blushing cheeks, Nie Ranqing was very resentful, and then glanced at Xi Jinnan, but the man just stood by the window with his chin propped on one hand, motionless, looking down at their confusion.

So Nie Ranqing became even more resentful.

Someone opened the door and came in. Nie Ranqing quietly opened half of his eyelids and peeked. Xi Jinnan was closing the door, still expressionless, but he had an extra thermos in his hand.Nie Ranqing immediately closed her eyes.

Then someone patted her cheek lightly, and said in a clear and cold voice, "Drink some water before going to sleep."

Nie Ranqing sighed again from the bottom of her heart, got up half-supported, Xi Jinnan helped her put up a pillow, she held a brand new thermos cup, and obediently finished drinking the water.
