To outsiders, Ye Nanling, the campus belle of B University, was beautiful and wealthy, but too aloof and cold, making her unapproachable and deterring many.
In reality, she suffered from soci...
Du Xiran's movements froze, and he slightly widened his eyes. He became much more conscious, and Ye Nanning's figure was reflected in his pupils. The other's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She was stunned for a moment, as if something in her chest was about to burst out, a smile appeared in her eyes, and her red lips opened slightly: "You..."
"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt." Ye Nanning interrupted her, covered her face and apologized, then quickly got up and ran to the bathroom to wash her face.
The cold water poured on her face made her sober up a lot. She leaned her hands on the sink and looked at the woman with a blushing face. She couldn't help but regret her recklessness just now. She didn't know if she scared President Du.
Really, some things should be kept in your heart, especially such...dirty words, how can you say them to someone's face!
This is so embarrassing.
I don’t know what President Du thinks of her.
After the heat on her face faded away, she walked back to the living room and looked at Du Xiran cautiously from a distance of several meters from the sofa.
But Du Xiran didn't seem to be frightened at all, as if nothing had happened. When he saw her coming back, he smiled slightly and asked, "What did you do?"
Ye Nanning stammered, "Go to the toilet."
"Oh... come closer."
Ye Nanning took small steps to stand in front of her. Du Xiran stared at her. He couldn't help but move his eyes down to her wet red lips. He then noticed that Ye Nanning's lips were actually very beautiful, the kind that could be a lipstick model. He didn't know what it would be like to kiss her...
Du Xiran suddenly shook his head, looked at Ye Nanning in surprise, and turned his eyes around, a little embarrassed: "Then I'll go back first."
"Okay, I'll take you there." Ye Nanning said as she was about to go forward to help her, but Du Xiran suddenly avoided her touch, his eyes were panicked, he put on his shoes and ran away in a panic.
Ye Nanning looked at her hurried back and regretted not falling. It seemed that she had really scared President Du.
With a "bang", Du Xiran closed the door, leaned against the door, touched his chest, heard his hot and cheerful heartbeat, slowly squatted down, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"It's all over now..."
In the next few days, there were slight changes in the way Ye Nanning and Du Xiran got along with each other. It was not easy for outsiders to notice, but for the two of them, this subtle change was very obvious.
Du Xiran found that Ye Nanning seemed to be intentionally keeping a distance from him. Except for the night when she said "I want to kiss you" when she was drunk, he began to distance himself from her intentionally or unintentionally and avoided physical contact as much as possible.
For example, when handing over the lunch box, if someone's finger accidentally touched it, Ye Nanning would quickly pull it back as if her hand had been burned.
For example, when handing in documents, she would just throw them on her desk from a distance. If people didn't know, they would think she was acting like a big shot.
Du Xiran thought about it for a long time and could only come to one conclusion - could it be that because she didn't respond to Ye Nanning, Ye Nanning now wants to keep her distance and give up pursuing her?
Ye Nanning was also thinking about Du Xiran's recent changes. Probably starting from the second day after getting drunk, Du Xiran seldom looked her in the eyes. Every time they had a conversation, Du Xiran would unconsciously turn his eyes away and pretend to look elsewhere, as if he didn't want to communicate with her face to face.
When eating, Du Xiran would keep his head down. On the way to work, Du Xiran would remain silent and close his eyes to take a nap. If he accidentally saw me during a meeting, Du Xiran would turn his eyes and look at others.
Ye Nanning could only think that the other party was beginning to be afraid of her contact, so she could only take the initiative to reduce contact in order to avoid being completely disliked.
The two of them each had their own thoughts and maintained a strange relationship, and finally made it to the New Year holiday.
The employees' hearts had already been released. Some of them directly bought tickets for that evening and rushed to the airport and high-speed rail station as soon as they got off work.
Ye Nanning tidied up the desk and glanced at the empty office. Thinking that Du Xiran had left work early today, she hurried home alone. She stood at Du Xiran's door for a long time but still didn't have the courage to knock.
I don't know how long it was before the door suddenly opened with a click.
Du Xiran was startled by the silent figure in front of him: "Why don't you say anything?"
Ye Nanning said in panic: "I..."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to take out the trash first."
Ye Nanning then noticed that she was holding several garbage bags in her hands and quickly snatched them away: "I'll help you."
When she came back after throwing it away, she saw Du Xiran leaning against the door with his arms folded, waiting for her.
"Mr. Du, when are you going back?" Ye Nanning walked up and asked.
"Come in and talk tomorrow morning. I still have things to pack." Du Xiran said and turned into the house.
Ye Nanning followed him in immediately and saw an open suitcase in the living room. There was a pile of clothes inside, which looked like they had been casually folded twice and stuffed in.
Ye Nanning took a few glances and couldn't help but stepped forward to help. She took out all the clothes and rolled them up one by one, saying, "This saves space and is less likely to wrinkle."
Du Xiran was amazed when he saw her rearrange her clothes neatly and even free up some space, "Awesome."
Ye Nanning smiled and said, "Do you want to pretend something else?"
"Wait, I'll get it!"
Du Xiran piled all the skin care products and toiletries on the coffee table. Ye Nanning sorted them into bags for her and put labels on them to make them easier to find.
The moment he closed the box, Du Xiran couldn't help but applaud and looked at Ye Nanning with admiration: "You really can do anything."
"No, no, I can't create the world." Ye Nanning said modestly.
Du Xiran couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing her smile, Ye Nanning also smiled.
The awkward atmosphere of the past few days seemed to have disappeared. Ye Nanning asked, "Boss Du, can I see you off tomorrow?"
Du Xiran looked at her.
"I...I'll just take you there, nothing else."
Du Xiran smiled: "Okay, use your cool car to send me off, it's very cool."
Ye Nanning suddenly felt that her car was worth the money!
The next morning, after breakfast, they rushed to the airport.
Standing in the lobby, Ye Nanning looked at the flight information and time, and looked at Du Xiran reluctantly: "Mr. Du, when will you be back?"
"The day before work, when will you be home?"
"afternoon."
The two chatted for a few sentences, and then there was silence. No one spoke again until the flight information was announced on the radio. Only then did Du Xiran prepare to leave.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she suddenly turned around and saw someone following Ye Nanning a few steps behind her, following her silently. When she discovered him, he suddenly stopped.
Du Xiran looked at the trembling girl, his heart softened, and he strode back, reaching out and hugged her in his arms.
The unexpected warmth made Ye Nanning freeze in place, her limbs stiff, as if she couldn't believe what was happening. Her breathing stopped for a few seconds, then she exhaled, and slowly placed his hands behind her back. The real touch made her heart tighten. She greedily sniffed Du Xiran's unique scent, fearing that it was just a dream.
"Ye Nanning, I wish you a happy new year in advance."
"The same to you."
"goodbye."
"Bon Voyage."
After watching Du Xiran walk into the ticket gate, Ye Nanning slowly squatted on the ground, hugging her arms with her hands, her eyes a little moist.
"Little girl, what's wrong with you?" The cleaning lady found Ye Nanning while mopping the floor. She had seen too many separations and tears in the airport and couldn't help but bend down to look at the girl in front of her. "Are you in a long-distance relationship?"
The next moment, the aunt saw the girl raised her head and smiled like a fool: "Thank you for your blessing."
Cleaning lady: “???” What did I bless?
After several hours of flying, the plane finally arrived at Du Xiran’s hometown, City W.
As soon as she got home, there was a hot meal. After she finished eating, she took a shower and then stayed at home.
Mother Du is very virtuous, so she raised two lazy daughters who hardly had to do housework. After returning home for two or three days, Du Xiran felt that she was almost useless. Every day, she ate and slept, or was dragged by Du Heruo to watch boring TV.
When I was in City B, I was thinking about work all day long. Now that I have taken time off from work, I feel uneasy.
When you have nothing to do, all kinds of thoughts are most likely to come to your mind.
When she saw her mother in the kitchen, she inexplicably thought of Ye Nanning's beautiful figure in the kitchen, taking the food seriously. A few strands of hair would always fall on her cheeks, making people want to lift them up.
When eating, she would subconsciously compare her food with Ye Nanning's, and would also ask Du Heruo whether her mother's cooking was better or Ye Nanning's was better.
In order to get a New Year's red envelope, Du Heruo spared no effort to praise his mother's cooking as the best.
Du Xiran: "Nonsense, Xiaoye's cooking is obviously delicious, you have no conscience."
Mom: "? Who has no conscience?"
When I open the box to take out my clothes, the image of Ye Nanning packing my luggage for me appears in my mind.
While taking a shower, she couldn't help but stick her head out and asked her mother, "Do you have the imported green-packaged, fragrant shower gel at home?"
Mom: "I think you are rich and you are getting carried away. You even import it. This is the only shower gel we have at home. You can use it if you want. If you don't want to use it, just rub the soap for me!"
After drinking with her dad, she would miss the sweet and sour hangover soup, so she asked, "Mom, can you give me some hangover soup, the kind that's sweet and sour and delicious?"
Mom: "I've spoiled you too much, haven't I? You're almost thirty, and you can't do this or that. All you do is order people around all day long. Blah blah blah blah..."
Du Xiran automatically blocked the following words and returned to the room. He couldn't help but want to send a message to Ye Nanning, but when he saw that it was already early in the morning, he was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he had to put down his phone and went to sleep feeling melancholy.
When helping Du Heruo check his homework, he would occasionally say something harsh to her, which would cause Du Heruo to complain: "Sister Xiaoye is not as impatient as you. She explains the questions very well, unlike you who only knows how to be harsh to others!"
Du Xiran was distracted for a moment, thinking of the scene when Ye Nanning was lecturing, gentle and patient, and the years were peaceful. She suddenly asked, "Do you like her?"
"Yes, if I were a man, I would marry her."
"But you are a woman."
"Yeah, that's a shame."
Du Xiran flipped through his homework casually, not knowing who he was talking to, and whispered, "It's not a pity."
Going out for a walk in the evening, Du Xiran listened to the chattering of his family members, raised his head and stared at the moon in a daze——
I wonder what Ye Nanning is doing now?
Unconsciously, Ye Nanning had broken into her life, set up camp, and quietly filled every corner of her life.
We see each other every day, but I don’t have such deep feelings for her. It’s only once we’re apart that I realize how much she… misses me.
The moonlight is bright. It would be great if there was someone else to appreciate the moon with her.
She picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and found that Ye Nanning had posted a message on WeChat Moments, saying that she was in seclusion working on her thesis.
She didn't want to interrupt other people's business, so she looked around and finally found someone to talk to, the food blogger.
Dududu: [Do you still remember the intern I mentioned? ]
After posting it, she realized that this opening line was so classic. It seemed that she had to mention it every time, and Ye Nanning would always be mentioned between the lines. No wonder the blogger was so impressed by her intern, but she was still unaware of it.
She smiled to herself.
However, the other party might be busy and did not reply to her message immediately.
After taking a walk, Du Heruo shouted that he wanted to go back, so the family went back home.
At this time, she finally received a reply.
Grandpa under the tree: [Of course I remember, what’s up OwO]
Du Xiran walked into the community and finally looked up at the full moon with a smile in his eyes.
Dududu: [I miss her. ]
The author has something to say:
I saw in the last chapter that everyone was looking forward to a drunken kiss, so I might get scolded.
