Chapter 361: It Seems Like a World Away
Many people did not sleep that night.
Duan Chenming tossed and turned, while Chen Feng couldn't sleep all night.
Her feelings towards Xiang Nuan were complicated. She didn't like this person, who was arrogant, impulsive and unrestrained. She could never catch the spark of her thoughts. In front of Xiang Nuan, she felt like a fool, a stubborn and stubborn fool. But she really admired him, and had to admit his excellence even with gritted teeth.
This is what it means to be unable to stand up to someone and yet unable to beat them. She is so twisted to compromise. If possible, she doesn't want to have anything to do with Xiang Nuan. If it is unavoidable, then they can just be teammates, as long as they are not opponents. Not to mention the chances of winning, she is afraid that she is not strong enough to even fight.
You should be more scheming and cunning... This sentence kept circling in her mind, making her almost breathless. After finally getting to the dawn, she couldn't wait to find Duan Chenming to find out what was going on. However, instinct and reason fought madly, and she was stuck in the quagmire between going and not going.
Scheming and cunning... Scheming and cunning... She kept repeating it silently like a spell, but instead of calming her mind, she became more panicked.
Xiang Nuan slept soundly and went out early in the morning, feeling refreshed.
"I feel like she loves working more than her dad." Jiang Ranran leaned against the window with her mouth full of bread.
"What about you? Do you want to find something to do for yourself?" Uncle Huo stood beside him and looked out the window.
"Hmph!" Jiang Ranran crossed her arms and suddenly got angry: "The show is over, the robot competition is over, Uncle Duan's car doesn't need me, and I don't have a job."
Uncle Huo suppressed his laughter and said, "After finishing one thing, there is another one. Find a new goal?"
Jiang Ranran's little brain turned around and thought about everything he could think of, but he was still at a loss. Alas, the world is too unfriendly to 4-year-olds. There are no jobs suitable for them!
"Will we move to France in the future?" He suddenly put his hands on his chin and looked depressed.
"Do you want to go?"
Jiang Ranran blinked and thought for a moment before saying, "If I don't want to, will it be the same as before, with them working outside and us staying at home to look after the house, and we can only see each other once in a long, long time?"
Uncle Huo lowered his eyes and looked at him, a faint smile spread across the corners of his mouth: "Everyone should have their own goals, so that they will not pin their happiness on others."
Jiang Ranran raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
"Look at Mother Nuan. When she came to our house, she could have just laid back and been your mother, but she immediately found a job for herself. Then she got one job after another and has firmly taken control of her life."
Jiang Ranran seemed to understand, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head. He had not experienced other mothers, and did not know if it would be better to be surrounded and watched by his mother every day, but he knew Xiang Nuan was good. If it were not for her, he would still be locked up in this house all day, relying on climbing up the roof to remove tiles, dismantling the house and the yard to pass the time.
"Let's design clothes too!" He suddenly perked up, his eyes sparkling, "Let's make children's clothes and use Bunny's mother's fabrics, we can kill two birds with one stone!"
He didn't care about Uncle Huo's reaction. He was completely absorbed by his own ideas. He didn't even finish his breakfast and ran into the study.
Oh - never mind, having something to do is better than being bored and complaining, that's good! Uncle Huo resisted the urge to call him and sipped his coffee.
…
Mina took Xiang Nuan around in circles, looking at her again and again, as if they were meeting old friends from another world.
"I've read a lot of news about you online, each one more shocking and explosive than the last. I didn't expect you to come to me with something even more new."
"The netizens are exaggerating. It's all groundless." Xiang Nuan smiled sweetly. "I see you opened a short video account with a few artist friends. Isn't that more interesting?!"
"You're following me too?!" Mina was pleasantly surprised. Their account hadn't been registered for long, and it didn't have many followers. She didn't expect Xiang Nuan to have been following her.
"Of course! I was in France at the time and told my friend about you. I looked up your work online and found this account. It's amazing."
"I'll learn from you and work hard to integrate into the new era!" Mina clapped her hands, feeling very happy.
"My friend is a fashion designer in France and wants to learn more about Chinese culture. I think you have the best grasp of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures, without losing the Chinese charm or being conservative, so I want to bring her to meet you."
"Are you so polite? You have more say than me. Look at your design. People are still talking about that exhibition. You understand it more deeply and develop it better than me." Mina likes Xiang Nuan more and more. Compared with the awkwardness when they first met, she now has a more mature charm.
"You are the origin. I am lucky to have the opportunity to experience it."
"I followed you to see the world! You don't know that after the exhibition, many colleagues in the industry asked me about you, and they all wanted you to design the exhibition for them. But as you know, the creation cycle of an exhibition is very long and uncertain, and it is not easy to hold one."
Mina took Xiang Nuan to see her new paintings and talked incessantly about her new experiences after the exhibition.
"Xiao Yu from the bookstore also helped a lot. He not only sold the book in the bookstore but also promoted it through social media accounts, which helped me increase my influence. He helped us create this account."
Xiang Nuan's heart tightened, and a stone deep in her heart seemed to be kicked. Yu Xin, how long has it been since she heard this name? !
So many things happened that she almost forgot about him. Did she forget about him? Or was she avoiding him on purpose? Didn't he have a new girlfriend? I don't know how she is doing now?
Did he... go back?
"Yu Xin..." Xiang Nuan asked hesitantly, "Is he still running his bookstore?"
"What? You haven't contacted each other?" Mina asked in surprise, "He told me a lot of your news."
"Really? Uh... I remember that he was planning to have a girlfriend when your album was released in the bookstore. I don't know if they finally got married."
"Girlfriend? Hahaha, he, I think he's only interested in computers. Look, this is it..."
Mina took out her phone and showed it to Xiang Nuan. "He designed all of these for us. It's interesting, right? As for his girlfriend..." She thought about it carefully, as if to confirm it again. "I haven't heard him mention it, and I haven't seen him either. Maybe this guy is too good at keeping secrets?"
So without a girlfriend and without going back, he really started to start his new life in this world?
"When will your friend come?"
"Just this half day."
"Our Chinese culture is so broad and profound. Many foreigners who want to integrate Chinese elements either do not do so superficially or fail to find the right points of convergence. In the end, they end up with a mixture of Chinese and Western elements and lose their own characteristics. The key is to find common ground between the two spirits."
Xiang Nuan regained her concentration and smiled. Or maybe he was an expert? Isn't that a coincidence? !
