062

The night before, Xing Chen didn't sleep for long because he had to attend a meeting and discuss various follow-up arrangements after returning home.

Today, because he was worried about Nan Ke, Xing Chen didn't rest at home.

After preparing the meal and waiting, I suddenly felt sleepy.

Xing Chen didn't want to sleep in the bedroom. He wanted to stay in the living room and wait for Nan Ke to come back so that he could greet her as soon as possible.

But I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the sofa.

He dreamed of the past again.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Nan Ke started looking for houses.

Xing Chen had no intention of moving to another city, but he didn't know why Nan Ke suddenly wanted to move.

She hated trouble, and moving was obviously one of the most troublesome things in the world.

When asked why, Nan Ke answered frankly: "I don't want anyone to monitor my life in real time."

Xing Chen didn't ask any further questions, guessing that it must be referring to her former parents.

As for moving, Nan Ke asked Xing Chen to pack up the things that were not needed at the moment but had to be taken away, and once a house was found, she would move them over one by one.

Let’s not worry about the big things. Nan Ke has already agreed with the landlord that Su Shuo will take care of the rest.

Xing Chen said that he didn't have anything he had to take away.

Nan Ke didn't believe it: "I have a lot." She thought Xing Chen wanted to help her lighten the burden: "You don't have to think about helping me lighten the burden."

Xing Chen said he didn’t mean that.

Nan Ke looked a little sad for a moment.

"Do you still feel like you don't belong?"

Xing Chen shook his head. He thought for a moment and said to Nan Ke, "I just don't have too many unnecessary demands."

Nan Ke blushed, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Xing Chen didn't have any extra time to think about anything else. He had promised Nan Ke that he would not let her down, and it was time to verify the final result.

During that time, Nan Ke didn't allow him to enter the kitchen again.

Of course she didn't go in herself.

"Although I really want to switch roles and cook for you for a while, I think it's best for me to do nothing at this time."

Nan Ke said embarrassedly: "I don't want to send you to the hospital before sending you to the examination room."

Xing Chen smiled but said nothing.

A little joke at the right time in life will make him feel relaxed, and that feeling is very good.

Nan Ke mentioned the move to him, saying that although she didn't want to endure it any longer, she could wait for Xing Chen to finish his exams before looking at houses together.

Xing Chen refused, saying that his opinion was not important.

"As long as you like it."

Whatever Nan Ke likes, Xing Chen will definitely like.

That was a sentence that was engraved in his life.

Nan Ke said "Okay" and said that he and Su Shuo would find time to go and see it, and also asked him which university he wanted to apply to.

Xing Chen felt warm in his heart.

Nan Ke always felt guilty towards him because of the move.

She said she didn't want to tell Xing Chen at first, worried that it would distract him.

But I thought that if I didn't tell him, once he knew, something that was originally very simple might become very complicated.

After thinking about it, I decided to speak up.

She is right.

She is always right.

Xing Chen would not be distracted by the move, but if he knew that Nan Ke wanted to move but didn't tell him, he would go crazy.

The current situation is the best.

Xing Chen was very satisfied.

Nan Ke was willing to discuss moving with him, let him pack his own things, and even wanted to go house hunting with him if conditions allowed...

She has him in her future.

This ensures that even when Xing Chen is tired from studying, there is always a light in his heart that is always on.

Nan Ke is planning to make a final decision among several houses.

She asked Xing Chen to look at the house layout in advance, and took him to see them one by one on the weekend.

Xing Chen has no personal likes or dislikes, he always says: "As long as you like it."

Nan Ke asked Xing Chen which school he wanted to apply to.

Before that, Xing Chen had mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that she would not consider other cities. Nan Ke did not comment on this, and Xing Chen thought she agreed.

Later, when they talked about universities, they would only talk about universities in their city.

Xing Chen knew that the reason Nan Ke asked this question was because of the location of the house.

But given Nan Ke's lifestyle, it is impossible for her to choose the suburbs.

She likes to be able to walk to the cinema to watch a movie, go to the mall to buy things without driving, and likes the bustling streets, even if she doesn't fit in.

The better universities in the city are all in the suburbs.

The future is definitely going to be busy.

Xing Chen prepared himself mentally in advance.

Among several options, Nan Ke liked a house with a tree view outside the window, but it was on a slightly lower floor.

Nan Ke likes high-rise buildings. If possible, she even wants to try the top floor, but Su Shuo says it’s better not to, as the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The couple living on the floor above them had a baby, and at night the mother kept walking around while taking care of the baby, which was a bit disturbing.

The couple often have conflicts, and sometimes you can hear them quarreling at night.

Nan Ke didn't want them to disturb Xing Chen's studies, and tried to go up to communicate with him several times, but was stopped by Xing Chen.

He said that level would not affect him because he has strong concentration.

In fact, Xing Chen heard the man's vicious voice and the swear words that came out of his mouth when the couple quarreled.

He didn't want Nan Ke to confront such a person for him.

Besides, they were moving out soon, so there was no need.

When he was occasionally distracted, Xing Chen thought of more.

He felt that Nan Ke would not like children and probably would not be willing to give birth to a child for him.

But if, by any chance, they have their own children one day, he will definitely be a good father, take all responsibilities, and will not hurt his lover like the man upstairs.

The real winner appeared on the day Xing Chen finished the exam.

It was a wedding house that had been renovated for half a year. No one had lived in it before, so it was available for immediate occupancy.

Nan Ke likes it very much. It has a wide view, a good location, is not facing the street, and has a large terrace where she can read and paint.

The decoration is also more in line with Nan Ke's aesthetic, and she has already imagined what changes she can make after moving in.

On the day we went to see the house together, Nan Ke mentioned that he had a dog when he was a child.

It was a puppy, not a rare breed, which she picked up outside.

Xing Chen said he knew, but he wasn't sure, but he could vaguely guess it.

Nan Ke was very surprised.

Then he quickly remembered something and laughed: "Did you see my painting?"

Xing Chen nodded in affirmation.

Nan Ke has a lot of sketchbooks, and sometimes they are placed in a mess. When Xing Chen sees this, he helps her put them away to prevent the drawings from getting dirty.

He had seen the painting of the puppy more than once, and Xing Chen guessed that it might have once belonged to Nan Ke.

After leaving the house, they had a drink together outside.

Nan Ke talked about the puppy again.

"I haven't had a chance to give it a name yet."

She knew her parents were mysophobic.

When I was younger, I would beg my parents to have one too when I saw my neighbors walking their dogs, but they always refused.

Nan Ke's parents rarely refused her requests and almost always granted her requests, but keeping a pet seemed to be a minefield.

When he grew up a little more, Nan Ke realized that his parents just disliked them because they thought they were dirty.

"It smells terrible, dear, don't you think?"

At that time, Yang Ruixi would still speak to her in a soft voice.

Yang Ruixi said, "Can we buy some more dolls? At least they don't poop, so they're very clean."

This doesn't really mean anything.

But Nan Ke became hostile to them after a long time. Thinking of many clues, he found that his parents' cold-heartedness had actually been there for a long time.

After Nan Ke picked up the puppy, he went to the hospital to have it checked out first.

The doctor said one of the hind legs needed to be amputated.

Nan Ke asked if there was any other way. She had read some examples online and knew that if a stray animal was missing a leg, few people would be willing to adopt it.

She had never planned to raise the child on her own from the beginning. Although her house was large, her parents would not agree.

The doctor said to give it a try, but after trying, he still recommended amputation, otherwise the infection would kill it.

Nan Ke had no choice.

She looked for adoption opportunities online and also asked Su Shuo. Su Shuo's parents also had the same reason and would not allow animals to be in their home.

Nan Ke later thought that the reason they became friends in the beginning might be because their parents looked very similar.

After asking a lot of questions, everyone gave up when they found out that it was the puppy that was missing a leg.

"And it's not a rare species..."

When encountering such a person, Nan Ke would just block him without saying anything more.

She thought, what if she paid for it herself and let others support her?

Su Shuo directly denied it, "Then you'd become a hen that lays golden eggs. How do you know he'd spend the money on your puppy?"

Never trust human nature too much.

Nan Ke took it very seriously.

Later, the puppy successfully survived, and Nan Ke made the first rebellious decision in a long time.

She wants to support herself.

Keep it secretly in your own room.

This is not an easy task.

But it's not that difficult.

The puppy is very well-behaved and rarely barks. There is a terrace in her room where she can bask in the sun.

And I can take the puppy out for a walk when I meet Su Shuo every day.

Her parents rarely entered her room, and the only trouble was when the servants came to clean it.

Nan Ke made an excuse, saying that his room didn't need a servant to clean it and he would clean it himself.

The servant told Yang Ruixi about this.

At first, Yang Ruixi thought it was just a child’s sudden novel idea. The little girl needed privacy when she grew up?

She didn't take it seriously.

This situation lasted for three months.

Yang Ruixi finally realized that something was wrong.

Especially around dinner time every day, Nan Ke's expression would be a little strange, and sometimes he would even act sneaky when he went out.

Yang Ruixi quickly thought of cleaning the room.

Wanting to find the answer, he went into Nan Ke's room while she was at school.

She saw the secret that Nan Ke had been trying hard to hide and had hidden it well.

Yang Ruixi was furious.

She held it back that night and remained calm in front of Nan Ke, but told her husband everything before going to bed.

"She really can't be my child. She actually lied and kept that thing in her house. It smells terrible! No wonder I've always felt like she stinks!"
