Cloud Girl Chapter 33

Exclusive news report: "Mr. Xu, what are your thoughts on your wife?"

Xu Xiaomeng: "Yes, she's a very ascetic person..."

Editor (＞д＜): "What! Doesn't your sexy figure attract her at all?!"

Xu Xiaomeng ←_←, "No, it's her personality... In short, she's quiet, expressionless, and always drifting away, I don't know how to describe it."

Editor's note: "Well, this isn't really that bad, is it?"

Xu Xiaomeng pondered for a moment, "Yes, that's right. Reserved and patient, expressing emotions but stopping at propriety, the most important thing is to give loyally. Legend has it that if you fall in love with such a person, and she doesn't love you back, you will suffer a lot. If you are loved by such a person, you will be doomed for the rest of your life..." (Xu Xiaomeng was lost in her own thoughts.)

Editor—rolls eyes~

"What do you mean? Don't you agree with what I said?" Xu Xiaomeng suddenly glared at him, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Editor: "No, no, oh, it's just an eye twitch."

...

Editor: "So, Mrs. Xu, what's your opinion on the changes in Mr. Xu over the past few years?"

Chen Nanyi, the old Taoist, was taken aback for a moment. "Perhaps he's gone from a little lamb to a cunning wolf?"

Editor: "But aren't you the one who dislikes glib-tongued people the most?"

Chen Nanyi, "Although he is still a sheep in wolf's clothing."

Chen Nanyi chuckled softly, "But he ran into that wolf pack to fight for my sake."

The Lu clan members, imagined as wolves ╥﹏╥

Xu Xiaomeng, "I'm asking you, what do you think if I didn't go back to Lu's Company?"

Chen Nanyi, "If you don't go back to the company, Grandma won't give you money for my medical treatment..."

Xu Xiaomeng: "No, that's not what I meant. I meant, excluding the period when you were sick, do you think it was a good thing for me to go back to Lu's Company?"

Chen Nanyi said, "Well, people may seem different, but in reality, they're not. If you hadn't gone back to the company, I believe you would have been an excellent doctor; and your current position isn't necessarily something only you could achieve. Anyone with a sense of responsibility and a good education could do it... But no matter how well those people do, you're the only one who can maintain your integrity in any job, and that's truly admirable."

Xu Xiaomeng (ー_ー)!!, “I…don’t understand”

Chen Nanyi →_→, “I'm telling you, you're an idiot! You only ever do things in one way, you moron!”

Xu Xiaomeng |(￣3￣)|, “Hehe, that's what it means! So you know I only love you, right? Hehe.”

One day, Xu Xiaomeng returned home and found a note from Chen Nanyi saying she had left home. She then called Chen Nanyi.

Chen Nanyi: "I've always been stubborn, but because of my bad temper and lack of patience, I'm impatient with many things... There's one dish I've eaten my whole life because I've never really understood its taste..."

"Most of the time, if the outcome is predictable, I won't dwell on it. But sometimes, my stubbornness kicks in, and no matter what, it will take root in my heart and grow into a towering tree."

"Uh, wait, I got confused, let me repeat myself. Anyway, you're that dish that makes me uncomfortable, yet I can't bear to part with you."

Xu Xiaomeng (（＾し＾）, “I know that without you saying it! It’s just…”

Chen Nanyi said, "However, many things are not absolute. Even the hardest diamond in the world will be worn away by the passage of time. I've had enough of you. I'm leaving. Take care."

Xu Xiaomeng: "What?! Don't hang up! I already told you! I haven't done anything wrong to you. If you're going to leave, at least figure it out before you go! You wait here, I'm already on the highway to your hometown, don't go anywhere else!"

Chen Nanyi, "Uh, I was just in the room next to yours..."

Xu Xiaomeng, "You hypocritical woman... then why did you leave a letter saying you were leaving home!"

Chen Nanyi, "What I meant was that I wanted to sleep in the guest room. You hold me every night and I can't breathe; it makes me feel like you're trying to kill me..."

Xu Xiaomeng(ー_ー)!!

Xu Xiaomeng said, "Xiao Linlin, you have two gray hairs here. Let me pluck them out for you!"

Chen Nanyi: "No, that's my sorrow. It's the lingering thread of my unrequited love—I've had unrequited love for two people, and it's because I couldn't have them that my hair has turned white."

Xu Xiaomeng ⊙﹏⊙∥

Years later, Xu Xiaomeng looked at Chen Nanyi's increasingly gray hair and felt even more resentful—"Have you had crushes on so many men over the years?"

Chen Nanyi: "You idiot, how dare you talk about me like that? You secretly went to get your hair tanned, do you think I didn't know!"

Xu Xiaomeng, "Hehe... I just wanted to look younger so I could satisfy your desire to sleep with younger men! After all, you won't have another man in your life, and if I were still so sloppy, it would be disrespectful to you..."

Chen Nanyi, "Hmph, at least you know what's good for you!" ╭(╯^╰)╮

Xu Xiaomeng: "Wife, you know more, tell me, what should I do if I have a big battle to fight, but I'm not ready?"

Chen Nanyi: "Even if you lose, you can't lose face. Even if you're not prepared, you have to pretend you are. You can even say some tough words if appropriate. If you really can't win, then run away. But if you think you can win, then use your shameless tricks to get ahead. Let me tell you, I can't stand that. If you do that, I'll have no choice but to give in."

Xu Xiaomeng seemed to be deep in thought...

Then, during the national civil service exam, everyone was stunned by a person named Xu Xiaomeng:

Once the exam was scheduled to begin, he suddenly sat up straight, his muscles tense as he stared intently at the exam paper.

Half a day later, he picked up the test paper and said fiercely, "Hmph, if you dare to make me look bad, I'll make you look bad!"

Then, with a flick of her finger, she tapped the test paper on the forehead, but Xu Xiaomeng flipped the test paper over and over again.

The proctor, finally unable to contain his trembling, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me... is there a problem?"

Xu Xiaomeng didn't even turn her head. "I'm wearing it down so it won't be able to resist my attack."

After Xu Xiaomeng became the principal, she abused her power for personal gain, demanding that students in the language department improve their skills in all aspects.

And just like that, a top student who graduated with a degree in life sciences also started teaching math, foreign languages, biology, and art on the side...

When other shareholders objected, he said, "Anyway, we don't need them to be that professional, so let's just do it this way! Are you questioning my abilities now?"

Then, the following saying circulated among the students of Lu Ran Academy:

"Hey, did you know that our math teacher has a pet in a game, and its name is the same as the math class representative's name?"

"What?"

"Chen Nanyi~"

"Oh, I heard your biology teacher is growing an onion in your class."

"Yeah, you have no idea how much he treasures it. One winter, our biology teacher walked up to a student by the window in a very serious manner and said to her very solemnly, 'Quickly close the window, my little onion is going to catch a cold!'"

He's good to his little onion, though.

Chen Nanyi: "Didn't I tell you not to do all this? I'll come back to live here, why do you have to do this?"

Xu Xiaomeng (￣▽￣)~* “I know, but oh my gosh~ my little onion, I just want to see you every year, every month, every minute, every second~”

Xu Xiaomeng proposed to Chen Nanyi, and Chen Nanyi accepted.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Chen Nanyi said, "My inflammation was too severe yesterday; I was just talking nonsense."

Xu Xiaomeng gave a dry laugh, "Don't be like that."

Chen Nanyi: "I'm not lying to you, really. Let's forget about marriage, we're still together anyway."

Xu Xiaomeng: "What's this? We're getting married tomorrow, and you're telling me this today!"

Chen Nanyi: "I don't care, you can't just force me to marry you like this!"

Xu Xiaomeng: "If we're both too rigid, it will make me lose you. Rather than that, I'd rather become a rogue."

Chen Nanyi*. *, “No, just speak properly. What do you mean by handcuffing us together? What are you trying to do?”

Xu Xiaomeng: "It doesn't mean anything. It's just that you have pre-wedding jitters, and I'm afraid you'll run away. What if you run away first thing tomorrow morning? What if you run away after the wedding? What if you run away on your wedding night?"

Chen Nanyi, @. @“I wouldn’t… I, I’m just afraid of pain.”

Xu Xiaomeng said, "Chen Nanyi, why are you so serious? Don't stop me from sitting! I'll be good..."

Chen Nanyi (⊙o⊙), “Who wants to do it with you! You're crazy! I was so worried about you, I rushed back, and you were just faking being sick to deceive me!”

Xu Xiaomeng said, "Uh, no, how come you won't sit with me? If you don't sit with me, who will you sit with?" Xu Xiaomeng held onto the chair with one hand, looking very aggrieved.

Chen Nanyi (<_<)

Xu Xiaomeng said, "No, you used to sit with me in class and at meals, why can't I sit with you now..."

Chen Nanyi (；一_一), “Hmm…Oh, then sit down!”

Xu Xiaomeng (⊙ω⊙`), “Huh? No! The ‘do’ you just mentioned isn’t the ‘sit’ I was talking about… Wow, you’re so dirty-minded!”

Chen Nanyi (⊙x⊙;), “—Get lost—”

Xu Xiaomeng: "Someone as kind-hearted as me, chasing after Chen Nanyi, that stubborn rock who won't listen to reason... well, although she's the kind who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, that's true. So do you know how hard my journey to win her over was, and yet she still treated me like that!"

The psychologist adjusted his glasses and reassured him, "Don't worry, talk slowly, there's always a solution."

“Hmm,” Xu Xiaomeng nodded. “Let me tell you, once when the kindergarten was putting on a show, she was playing a traffic cop directing traffic, and I was playing a passerby. I politely asked her where the nearest taxi was, and do you know what she said? She said, ‘Just stay away from me and you’ll find one.’ Can you believe what she said!”

"And another thing, the first thing she cooked for me was two fried eggs! How much did she want to exploit me to do that? My body has always belonged to her, including my balls—but when I asked her, she said she only wanted two eggs. Hmph, as if getting two eggs and giving them to me was something to be proud of."

Xu Xiaomeng was still rambling on, while the psychologist looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and silently shed two wide tears.

Are you sure you're here to mediate and not to flaunt your relationship?

Chen Nanyi: "I'll agree to the marriage, but you'll be responsible for raising the children."

Xu Xiaomeng, "Why?"

Chen Nanyi: "I was originally a non-marriage advocate, thinking that having one child would be enough. Later, I felt that my personality wasn't good enough to raise a child, so I became a single person. But now you've ruined my plans. Aren't you being irresponsible?"

Xu Xiaomeng (@ーεー@), "Well, that's true... But please say something nice for me, and I'll do it if it sounds nice!"

Chen Nanyi, "This was originally your problem... Okay! Thank you, you saved my miserable life and prevented me from being all alone—although I don't really care about that, the future will tell. Hmm, if I had to make an analogy, if I were coffee, then you would be the tea egg that goes with me..."

Xu Xiaomeng, "This combination is so sharp..."

Chen Nanyi: "This is my favorite breakfast—"

Xu Xiaomeng (≧ω≦): "Really? I suddenly think it's really great!"

Lu Liyuan changed somewhat after returning home.

Because this villa on the hillside, which used to be his favorite, has now become his most hated place. He has started to prefer Nordic style furniture, which is different from this rustic style, and even other styles of furniture. He only likes to sleep under the dark bed and will never dare to take the elevator again—because it feels like he is still locked in an iron box, an unbearable torment. In fact, his soul has long been trapped in that pitiful underground compartment, struggling and screaming, but no one can save him.

No matter how the world changes, the fact that he loves them and they love him remains unchanged... It's enough for them to remember that.

Life means loneliness. But loneliness does not mean an incurable tragedy. On the contrary, we need to embrace the world with a broader mind. Even if we are covered in wounds, we can use the blood and sweat of our efforts to nourish the parched veins of life, which is better than escaping reality.

If the place you live in is not good, then selfish people, or rather shrewd people, will naturally go to a better place to live—and of course, no one can blame them for this.

However, life may be uneasy, but if there is peace, what is there to fear?

The world is so vast, and such a small pain is like a drop of water falling into the ocean, which will soon be diluted. What we should do is to stand firm in the fields, change the unpleasant things, and add more beauty to the days to come.

Refinement and vulgarity are both aspects of life, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, being too rigid and self-enclosed is like having a certain belief but losing one's own thoughts. What we should do is guide our magnanimous lives with lofty beliefs and solid actions.

Remember what has been lost, and move forward bravely.

What is there to fear in a world that is shrouded in mystery?
