When Baru returned from Naypyidaw, Nanxi was sitting in the living room quietly painting.
She always sits like this, quietly, a beautiful sight in her own right, with the white curtains swaying behind her. Her long hair is braided into a loose braid that hangs down in front of her chest, with a camellia-shaped hairband tied on it.
Nan Nan was dozing lazily beside her legs. Her white fur and the edge of her white lace skirt reflected the soft light, casting a filter over her whole person, making her look like a fairy who was not affected by the dust.
The man who was walking quickly towards the door slowed down his pace, leaned against the door frame, took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, and looked at her quietly from a distance of several meters, even his breathing was steady.
Nanxi looked up and saw that he hadn't even changed his military uniform. He was as straight as a sword, as strong as a knife, handsome and tough. He just looked at her infatuatedly and smiled.
"You're back?"
"Yeah." Baru smiled and strode over. "Wife, I miss you so much."
He was not very good at saying sweet words of love, and even to express his strong longing, he only said "I miss you". However, Nanxi could clearly feel the unspeakable strong emotions of this man from the warmth of his big palm and the cold wind blowing on her face.
She reached out and hugged his strong waist, pressed her cheek against his heart, and said coquettishly, "I miss you too, Ba Xiaolu. I've lost weight because of you thinking about me."
Baru couldn't stand her tone at all. A tingling sensation shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He raised his hands and carried her upstairs.
"Really? Let me measure it."
"What are you doing in broad daylight?" Nanxi reached out to hit him.
Really, I can't be serious for a second.
"What else can you do?" He kicked the door open, picked up the person and pressed him onto the bed.
"Ba Xiaolu, can you please have some shame?"
"What face do you want? I want a wife."
Nanxi had no way to deal with him. Her last struggle was just because she was disgusted by the smell of sweat on his body and asked him to take a shower. As a result, he carried her to the bathroom and they took a shower together. When she came out of the shower, she was already nestled in his arms, too lazy to move.
Ba Lu carried the person to the restaurant for dinner. Nan Xi was angry and scratched his arm with her nails.
"Zhan Peng sent me a picture, saying that you almost tore a piece of flesh off his arm. It seems that he practiced on me?" Balu brought over her leftover bowl with a smile, finished it in no time, and joked.
"He deserves it. Pinching a piece of his flesh is too light a punishment. I wish I could castrate him." Nanxi rolled her eyes, seeming to still be angry.
"Well, okay, I'll castrate you then." The man smiled evilly, took a sip of water, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"You two are in the same boat, stop fooling me." Nanxi took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it into the trash can.
"I'm going back to China the day after tomorrow, with my brother, so you don't have to see me off." She picked up the watermelon on the table, ate a piece herself, fed a piece to Baru, and said casually.
"Your brother disappeared for a year and came back inexplicably at this time. He must be up to something bad. He's not your biological brother, so stay away from him."
Balu felt vaguely uneasy, so he pulled her to sit on his lap and rubbed her waist with his big hands.
Nanxi tapped his forehead and said, "I'm jealous of everything. Don't worry, my brother is even more old-fashioned than my dad. He rarely even entered my room since I was a child. He's a self-disciplined and respectful patriarch. His personality is so dull that he hasn't even had a girlfriend even at this age.
He told me that he disappeared for a year because he was hit by a car bomb and was in a coma for a year. He just recovered recently. She sighed.
"Oh, I don't know how my brother got through this past year. He didn't even have any family around him. He woke up and came to find me, but I got angry at him. I have to be more sensible in the future and not bully him like before."
Baru's eyes were filled with a dark aura. "Car bomb?"
Whose good man would be blown up by someone planting a bomb? I'm afraid only a silly wife like me would feel sorry for his injury and never doubt what he did.
"Baby, let me ask you, do you know what business your brother is in?" He asked casually, but the coldness in his eyes was already spreading.
"Yes, I know. My brother is involved in technology companies, new energy, and medicine. However, his most profitable business is ocean shipping in Southeast Asia. He owns several private docks and islands."
Baru Jun's face was filled with understanding. No wonder Brother Jin and Brother Qian didn't let him bother Nan Xiaoxi. Not to mention her unfathomable father, just looking at Nan Suzhi's strength, if you really talk about it, even his entire wealth combined can't catch up with her.
"Nan Xiaoxi, your brother is so rich, I have to make more money in the future, otherwise people will laugh at me for being a gigolo."
Nanxi laughed and said, "What are you thinking? My brother's money has nothing to do with the Nan family, and even less to do with me. He earned it all by himself, and my dad has no say in it.
Although my brother always gives me money to spend, all my wealth combined is less than one tenth of yours. Who would say you're a gigolo?"
"But I want to be a gigolo, wife. I just want you to support me." He clung to his wife in a servile manner, like a clingy puppy.
"Okay, I'll support you when I make a lot of money." Nanxi pulled his ear and joked.
"Nan Xiaoxi, what's your evil taste? Huh? Do you like being my sister so much?"
"You are younger than me."
"I'm already a man. Don't use age as an excuse, or I'll take care of you." He clamped her chin with his big hands, raised his head and kissed her.
"Wife, what should I do if I suddenly don't want you to go back?" After the kiss, the man's eyes changed slightly, with a strong reluctance.
"Then take care of yourself. When you're done, come pick me up. I also need to go back and take care of the gallery. The coffee shop is closed, so I want to sell it."
"Okay." Baru squeezed her palm. "Do you want to go out and relax?"
…
By the shore of Inya Lake, the sun is about to set, casting a lake of broken golden light. Looking into the distance, there are layers of lush green. The dusk is all around, the mountains are vast, and the sky and the earth are vast and quiet. It brings a bit of tranquility to people's restless hearts.
On the wooden bench, two figures, one big and one small, snuggled together tightly. Nanxi was the smaller one, leaning in Balu's broad arms, looking at the broad-leaved palm forest in the distance. She felt indescribably relaxed and happy, humming a nice tune.
"The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you..."
She sang slowly and he listened quietly.
His Nan Xiaoxi said that the most romantic thing is to grow old with him.
Balu pursed his lips, lowered his head, and looked from top to bottom at her smooth white forehead, thick eyelashes like butterfly wings, and small and delicate nose, with obsession.
Nan Xiaoxi, I don’t know if I can live to old age. After all, that is too far away. I have developed a habit since I was a child not to even think about tomorrow.
But I will love you as long as I live.
I have sworn twice in my life, once to the mountains of northern Myanmar, pledging my loyalty, and once to you, pledging my soul.
