The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 4

Nie Ranqing hailed a taxi and stuffed himself in it. After giving the address, he silently looked out the window.She couldn't show timidity in front of Nie Ranxi, but after all, the scene just now still hurt her eyes.She was thinking about her childhood in a trance in the car. She remembered that when she was very young, before Nian Lupei, she was very clingy to Nie Ranxi, but Nie Ranxi was also very young at that time. The elder sister's self-consciousness is pitiful, and the pestering younger sister who follows behind finds it extremely annoying.She refused to let Nie Ranqing into her bedroom, and even locked the door, allowing her to yell outside.Nie Ranqing was hit by her again and again, and I don't know when it started, Nie Ranqing started to stay away from Nie Ranxi.However, they were not as cold as they are now.

Nie Ranqing couldn't figure out why she and Nie Ranxi had such a fight.

The two of them competed for grades, clothes and favor since they were young. Nie Ranqing basically had a few better grades than her, but everything else was at a disadvantage. She even thought that Nie Ranxi was better than her name.She had another thing to be proud of, that is, she successfully got her boyfriend Lu Pei, which at least made her feel that she could have the capital to be proud of in front of Nie Ranxi, but unfortunately, Lu Pei finally married Nie Ranxi However, Nie Ranqing didn't have the last laugh.

Nie Ranxi's chin is very sharp, and when she walks, her eyes look straight ahead, which looks elegant and elegant to outsiders, but in Nie Ranqing's eyes, it looks like a demonstration.Nie Ranqing used to fight with her when she was in elementary school, but after high school, the two of them didn't even have the energy to fight, and when they left the house, they were two irrelevant people.

Nie Ranqing has never met any pair of sisters who are so completely frozen like them. She often thinks, could it be because of her and Nie Ranxi's fate?
Nie Ranqing and Xi Jinnan drove away in the afternoon. She closed her eyes in the car and rested her mind. When she turned her head just before leaving, she saw Nie Ranxi and Lu Pei standing together. No matter in appearance or temperament, they looked like a pair of lovers.

The music in the car streamed out, soothing and touching.Nie Ranqing felt inexplicably depressed, and asked, "Xi Jinnan, you are so old, have you done anything stupid?"

"Am I very old?"

"Is that the point?"

After two seconds of silence, Xi Jinnan compromised: "First define what is stupid."

"Like...you put all your eggs in one basket and beat them."

Xi Jinnan glanced at her lightly and said, "You did this before?"

It was a mistake to tell Xi Jinnan about this kind of thing, but since the topic was opened, Nie Ranqing had to bite the bullet and continue to make a personal review: "The most stupid thing I have ever done in my life is to invest all my chips in one person." Don't say I'm stupid, I know I'm stupid."

Xi Jinnan glanced at her expressionlessly, and said, "Nie Ranqing, you haven't finished your life yet, how do you know that you won't do anything more stupid than this in the rest of your life?"

"..." Nie Ranqing was so angry that he wanted to strangle him to death.

After Nie Ranqing returned to school, Yao Mi hugged her again, Nie Ranqing was almost sprained by herself, and then Yao Mi looked at her for a moment, with an unusual seriousness: "Nie Ranqing, Lu Pei will come to our school next week to give a speech."

Nie Ranqing was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Yao Mi's expression of watching the show, and Yao Mi's five fingers waved in front of her: "Stupid or dumb? Give me a squeak."

Nie Ranqing pushed away her dizzy hand and said, "Well, he will come whenever he comes. He is an adult and married. Do you need to tell me where he is going?"

Yao Mi looked at her carefully, pinched her waist with both hands and said, "Well, I'm just talking casually. But I heard that Lu Pei and your sister will come this time. The time finalized last night was on the 25th, and it happened to be you sister's birthday."

Nie Ranxi's birthday is her birthday.Nie Ranqing didn't move her eyebrows, as if she had received Xi Jinnan's true biography, she opened the drawer to find the key very naturally, and took out a stack of white papers, calmly like a white cloud in the sky: "Yes."

Yao Mi satirized her: "Look at your Cixi appearance, it's not natural at all."

"Ah."

"I heard that Lu Pei also intends to establish a scholarship this time, especially for girls majoring in automation."

"Ah."

"Give me another 'um' try?"

Nie Ranqing continued to laugh without fear of death: "Yeah."

Yao Mi was helpless: "I said Nie Ranqing, you didn't feel it when he came to T University? You didn't feel it at all? Or, you didn't hold any hope of reunion?"

Nie Ranqing propped his hands on the table, speaking calmly like a national leader, still smiling: "Well, it's okay. Don't you think Lu Pei and Nie Ranxi are very suitable, just like the sun and moon."

Yao Mi squinted at her: "Come on, the relationship between the sun and the moon is the same as that of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They can only look at each other for a few minutes a day, plus the first day of each month and cloudy days, the two of them Immortals live apart every day, resent their wives and husbands, and they are still a good match."

Nie Ranqing really didn't want to continue this topic. Seeing Yao Mi's high spirits, she planned to make a quick decision.

Nie Ranqing thought for a while, and said: "Actually, no matter what, Lu Pei is married, and I am also married, so that's it. You have always supported Xi Jinnan. If Lu Pei and I are really reunited, you can't take it." The textbook smashed me to death? But Yao Mi, you can’t do it. Last year, you promised to find a boyfriend before your birthday this year. There is still one month left, and your boyfriend hasn’t found a place yet, so you can’t live up to it.”

This is definitely Yao Mi's sore foot. Yao Mi screamed as if she stepped on her tail. Seeing Nie Ranqing rush out of the door quickly, she shouted loudly from behind: "Nie Ranqing, I wish you to go out and step on shit!"

But at this time, Nie Ranqing looked at the man five meters away, sighed, and thought, next time Yao Mi won't be able to swear anything, she is much more accurate than her bet.

Lu Pei was wearing casual clothes, standing five meters away from her on the main road of the campus.

But how the hell is he here?

On one of the main roads of the university, there are fragrant flowers on both sides of the road, and the green shade is cool. This road is called the lover's road by the students. Every night, there are many college students here.

And Nie Ranqing and Lu Pei were standing under the green shade. They were dressed in black and white, and stood on the same vertical grid of small checkered bricks. If the atmosphere was not too weird, they would probably look like Japanese youth movie posters.

Nie Ranqing didn't look sideways, and planned to go around him, but she was blocked, she moved a step to the right, he followed, and turned to the left, and he did the same.Lu Pei's body was kept precisely in front of her.

Nie Ranqing looked at him: "It seems that Yao Mi is right."

Lu Pei couldn't keep up with her train of thought: "What?"

Nie Ranqing said lightly: "She said that I will definitely encounter shit when I go out today."

He smiled wryly, and before he could say anything, Nie Ranqing spoke first: "Sir, please shut your noble mouth and excuse me, thank you."

He refused.

Nie Ranqing took a deep breath, raised his head and sneered: "Lu Pei, don't think that my heart for you is still the same now. I don't want to see you, and you can do me a favor. Just treat it as a virtue, don't let me I saw you."

Nie Ranqing bypassed him and left, but still failed.

She finally got impatient.

Surrounded by students who occasionally passed by, Nie Ranqing's face was cold, and he lowered his voice to warn: "Lu Pei, you asked me that day, if you hadn't married Nie Ranxi, would it be possible for me to be with you? Let me tell you, in this world No if. Your words made me sick. What if I said it was possible? What would you do if I said it was impossible? Could it be that you still want me to forgive you? You want me to forgive you as soon as you come back. Haven't all the advantages in the world been taken by you? Let me tell you one more thing, from the moment you became my brother-in-law and Nie Ranxi's husband, you have no right to appear in front of me again!"

Lu Pei's expression was not good from the beginning to the end. Just as he was about to speak, Nie Ranqing said coldly: "Speaking of which, if you still have the nerve to not leave, I will call the police."

Lu Pei hesitated to speak for a while, and finally stepped aside.

Ever since Nie Ranqing could remember, the Lu family had been her neighbors.The two children are about the same age. Nie's mother said that one of the things Ran Qing did most often when she was a child was to stand outside the Lu family's door and knock loudly.After opening the door, his eyes rolled and turned, and when he found Lu Pei, he sweetly called Brother Lu Pei.Lu Pei is very patient, and there is a follower behind him who treats it as an extra harmless moving object, and does not belittle or praise Nie Ranqing's persistent pursuit, and let her go.

When Lu Pei went to elementary school, Nie Ranqing was still in the big class. When she heard that Lu Pei was leaving her to go to the No. [-] elementary school on another street, she immediately sat on the ground and cried, desperately wanting to go to school with him.Nie's mother naturally disagreed, so Nie Ranqing went on a hunger strike for two days. At that time, Nie's father was on a business trip in Inner Mongolia. The primary school principal's office came out and told her that she could go to primary school.

In junior high school, a group of children fell in love, and there were more and more notes, letters, and gifts in Lu Pei's drawer. Nie Ranqing tilted his head to look at it, but did not speak, but Nie Ranxi said: "If you stuff his drawer again, it won't be able to hold books." It's gone." Nie Ranqing mocked and said, "You are jealous." Nie Ranxi stopped talking, and Nie Ranqing was still doing homework on his own.That night, Nie Ranxi went to Lu's house while Lu Pei was out to play, and made an understatement, so Lu Pei was fined not to have dinner when he came back.Then, when Nie Ranqing went upstairs after dinner, she saw Nie Ranxi secretly put fruit and cakes in her schoolbag, and then knocked on the door of Lu's house.

In high school, Nie Ranxi was studying liberal arts, and Nie Ranqing was studying science with Lu Pei. In fact, she was not good at mathematics, and she only learned about physics in her third year of high school. It will be good, it is worth being abused by mathematics, physics and chemistry.How could such small thoughts be able to be expressed at that time, until she ignored the opposition of her family and went to the same university and the same major as Lu Pei.

On Valentine's Day when Nie Ranqing was a freshman, she planned for two weeks and designed countless ways to express her love, but she didn't expect the ending to surprise her—Lu Pei actually confessed to her before she opened her mouth.The person you have a crush on also happens to like you, so Nie Ranqing can't cope with such a beautiful story except nodding desperately.

She had thought this would be the end.

When they were in college, Nie Ranxi's university was only separated from Nie Ranqing's by a wall, but due to various reasons, the two of them didn't see each other for half a year.

Nie Ranxi has always liked to do superficial work, but this time she didn't even bother to show it.Maybe it's because Lu Pei's girlfriend is Nie Ranqing, and Nie Ranqing's boyfriend is Lu Pei.

Lu Pei has a very beautiful face, and the position of school grass is well-deserved.Moreover, wherever he goes, he looks like an angel with a halo on his head, everyone loves him.That's why Yao Mi once said: "Nie Ranqing, I'm not talking about you. Although you are not ugly, compared with Lu Pei, his face is there, and the temperament of the student president is there. Everyone pays attention to it." He has gone, and you are by the side, so you can only be regarded as a foil. You are so willing to use Lu Pei's girlfriend to describe the value of your life in the future, and it's over?"

Nie Ranqing was in a hurry to go downstairs to see Lu Pei, when he heard this he laughed and nodded, "I'm willing."

Lu Pei is a good boyfriend.One winter, Nie Ranqing caught a cold and had a fever. She lay on the bed and moaned. Her roommate called her. At night, Lu Pei wrapped her up like a rice dumpling and went to the hospital.Lu Pei didn't close her eyes all night. When Nie Ranqing woke up from the hospital bed in the morning, she saw Lu Pei lying on the side of the hospital bed so tired that she fell asleep. At that moment, she thought it would be nice to have a boyfriend.

After a few days, when Nie Ranqing recovered from her cold, Lu Pei smiled and wrapped her fists and said, "I want you to stop having a fever this winter."

Nie Ranqing intentionally killed him: "Then what if I only have a cold?"

"..."

Nie Ranqing deliberately said: "You see that you have no sincerity, you... um..."

The following words were not spoken, but were sealed by Lu Pei's kiss.

Another time, the two went climbing a mountain.The top of the mountain was surrounded by curling cigarette smoke, and Nie Ranqing was held in Lu Pei's arms. The cold wind could not blow her. She put her hand into his pocket, squinted at the rising sun, and murmured a very sour sentence: It's beautiful."

Five-year-old Nie Ranqing said: "Brother Lu Pei, I want to eat ice cream." So Lu Pei went to buy ice cream resignedly.

Nine-year-old Nie Ranqing said: "Brother Lu Pei, my deskmate pulled my braid, and he only pulled one hair of mine, which hurt me to death." So Lu Pei had a fight for the first time in his life.

13-year-old Nie Ranqing said: "Brother Lu Pei, I want to learn piano with you." So Lu Pei had to endure the noisy voices and piano sounds every day.

Nie Ranqing said: "Lu Pei, I am really tired from studying, how about going to the movies together?" So Lu Pei skipped class on Valentine's Day in the third year of high school and took Nie Ranqing to the cinema.

……

In the past, people always said that it is a wonderful thing to have a love for a long time, and a childhood sweetheart.Nie Ranqing felt the same way, and always thought that she and Lu Pei could live on like this.Nie Ranqing has been smooth and smooth for more than 20 years. Except for the grievances between her and Nie Ranxi, the rest of the road has been paved by others. There is not a single stone on the road, and the dust has been carefully swept away. All you have to do is step on it.

But who can be happy all the time?Why wish people all the best?That's because no one has ever had a smooth sailing experience. Nie Ranqing is human and an ordinary person, of course there is no exception.

That's why Lu Pei wanted to break up with her and marry Nie Ranxi, so Nie Ranqing instantly became the most pitiful person from the happiest person in the eyes of others.

Those things between her and Lu Pei, after the past, can only be regarded as memories.It's probably a good memory.

Of course, the premise is to cut off the last two months.

When they broke up, the moment Lu Pei opened her fingers one by one, Nie Ranqing felt that his sky was getting dark.

In fact, she still remembers his exact words: "Nie Ranqing, you are capricious and immature, don't follow me anymore, I'm tired."

He turned his face away, she couldn't see his expression.I just remember my mood at that time, as if soaked in sea salt, raw pain and bitterness.

But she couldn't understand, it was fine a week ago, why did it suddenly change?That day Lu Pei's face was like frost, so cold that Nie Ranqing couldn't believe it.

She couldn't understand, since he was going to get rid of her, why he said to her with a doting smile a month ago: "I just want you to be devoted to me, so that you can't run away."

She didn't run away, but he left with a decisive attitude.

There is no wiggle room.

When facing Lu Pei, Nie Ranqing begged bitterly, but did not cry.When she returned to the dormitory and Yao Mi came to visit, she seemed to wake up suddenly, holding Yao Mi and crying loudly.

She said, Honey, Lu Pei is my robbery. Do you think I owed him in my previous life? Why am I willing to work for him for 20 years and never get tired of it?
Yao Mi witnessed the years when Nie Ranqing followed Lu Pei from high school to university to graduate school, and also witnessed Nie Ranqing's embarrassment and compromise after the breakup.Yao Mi's venomous tongue remained unchanged when Nie Ranqing hugged her for comfort, and she said coolly to Nie Ranqing, "That's right, and you have grown from enjoying yourself to dying."

Nie Ranqing laughed and shed tears at the same time, of course she wouldn't be tired if she died of joy.

Nie Ranqing thought the breakup was painful enough, but on the third day she learned that Lu Pei was going to marry Nie Ranxi.Nie Ranqing felt her heart stop beating for three seconds, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

There is no most painful, only more painful.

After all, she still lost to Nie Ranxi.Nie Ranxi is more magnanimous than her, more gentle than her, and has a wider vision than her. Lu Pei even walks side by side with her much better than her.

Yao Mi made a concluding speech: "Nie Ranqing, look, you and Nie Ranxi are like Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions". Nie Ranxi is that treasure sister, forbearance, but rewarding. As for you, that Lin Daiyu, the flowers are blooming well, but there is no fruit."

Nie Ranqing cried until his eyes were swollen, but he still didn't forget to pay back, thank you, I didn't expect that Lu Pei was Jia Baoyu, why didn't I see it.

Yao Mi looks up to the sky and doesn't care about the broken love.

Nie Ranqing still remembers her stiff smile on the wedding day.All the guests were present, including Nie Ranxi and Lu Pei.They sat in the first row, less than three meters away from her.Nie Ranqing felt that she was smiling, but her eyes were still wet. She saw Xi Jinnan's beautiful and slender hand reaching out, and gently put the ring on her ring finger.Nie Ranqing did as she did, and then she looked down at her long white wedding dress, feeling like it was a dream.

In fact, to be honest, Nie Ranqing felt that although he was not the biggest winner, he did not lose badly either.The most unlucky person is probably Xi Jinnan, he is the one who suffers the most.As a successful businessman, he had lost money in marrying her.They had no basis for love, and Nie Ranqing married him mostly out of anger.

Nie Ranqing didn't know why he wanted to marry her. This question is still an unknown thing like UFO.Although Xi Jinnan said that when she was drunk, she cried and wanted to get married immediately, but there was no symptom after drinking, and Nie Ranqing would not know it even if he opened his eyes and told nonsense.So when Xi Jinnan proposed, Nie Ranqing poked the table and looked directly at him, reminding him seriously and responsibly: "You have to think clearly, I'm not good enough."

But Xi Jinnan just smiled flatly, like the smile he would smile countless times in the future, still holding the shiny diamond ring and saying: "It doesn't matter, as long as it is enough."

Nie Ranqing was only silent for ten seconds, then nodded in agreement.
