Chapter 2: Nightmare knew this guy was pretending, but I didn’t expect him to be so pretentious…
With a sudden swing of force, the mattress sank deeply. Wen Nian felt dizzy, her ankle was grasped by a cold hand, and then slammed into his hard body.
Xu Zhijian leaned over, forcing himself not to look at her eyes that were filled with disgust but refused to surrender. His nails dug deep into her flesh, and his rough movements were merciless.
Wen Nian avoided his lips several times, but was eventually clamped on the head.
Clothes fell all over the floor...
Five minutes later, Xu Zhijian turned over and lay on his side, slowly calming his heavy breathing and the anger that he had suppressed.
Damn it, he has never been able to defeat Wen Nian!
After a moment of silence, the two gradually calmed down.
Wen Nian looked at the ceiling and wiped the saliva off her face fiercely. After a while, she heard the sound of hands rubbing against each other beside her and sneered, "How disgusting."
Xu Zhijian didn't care, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued on his own without paying any attention to her.
The house was silent.
The sudden separation and reunion made Xu Zhijian a little overwhelmed, and he was even unsure how to face Wen Nian now.
"Turn on your phone and add a contact."
Wen Nian pretended not to hear.
He snorted, not intending to lower his head, and only listened to what she said when he was ready to go to sleep.
"I'm thirsty and want to drink some hot water."
"Oh, do you think you are the boss? If you don't serve me, you still want me to serve you? Dream on."
"Then let me out and I'll find it myself."
After a long silence, Xu Zhijian stood up and walked out.
When I came back, I realized I had been fooled.
He stood at the door with a sullen face, looking at the empty room, and said in annoyance: "I forgot to change the password."
She can guess.
He put the phone to his ear and said to the person opposite him in a gloomy voice, "Help me check the nearby surveillance."
—
The night was dark and the rain fell several times.
The chill crept up quietly, and Wen Nian instinctively curled up in his sleep.
Amidst the grayish-white world, there was constant noise.
This is a restaurant.
Wen Nian hurried upstairs against the crowd, heading for the innermost private room. She had a calm and hearty smile on her face, but she was suppressing her uneasiness in her heart.
Obviously, the former is pretended.
Pushing the door open, she saw the round table was already full of people. Due to her nervousness, she didn't notice their expressions - disgust and disdain. She still spoke in the sweet voice she had prepared in advance:
"Hello everyone, this is the specialty beef jerky I brought from Qingzhou. It's delicious. Let me give you a try."
Under the malicious gaze, Wen Nian carefully handed the box she had been holding for a long time to each person, and then sat in the empty seat reserved for her.
When she looked up, she realized she was the only one in the room laughing. The beef jerky, like her, was unpresentable and was thrown under the table in disdain, with no regard for it.
She was stunned, not understanding what she had done wrong, and muttered softly: "...It's really delicious, Xu——"
She anxiously went to seek help, but was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Tsk, Wen Nian, you're so unsophisticated. Why did I fall for you in the first place?"
She turned her head suddenly and looked at the person beside her, her eyes full of disbelief, as if something had been thrown heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"No, this..."
How could this be tacky? She didn't understand.
"Look, Xu Zhijian, this is what happens when you abandon me and choose another woman." In an instant, a female voice suddenly rang out beside my ear, as cold and venomous as a tongue: "And you, Wen Nian, a bitch who interferes with other people's feelings, will get retribution sooner or later."
Bitch, retribution, meddling...
"I'm not! I'm not!"
A muffled thunder sounded, and Wen Nian suddenly opened his eyes.
Cold sweat has already covered my whole body.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, gasping for breath like a fish out of water returning to the sea.
"Crack—"
The room was suddenly illuminated by warm orange light, and the fear came to an abrupt end.
Wen Nian struggled to get up from the bed, holding his forehead and going downstairs.
Holding the poured hot water, I leaned back on the sofa.
Warmth slowly covered the cold, and her temples were still painful. She held up her tired eyelids, lost in thought, and waited until the hot water completely cooled down before she exhaled and put down the teacup.
He opened the box next to him, took out the diary at the bottom, flipped directly to the latest page, and wrote a few neat little words with a pen:
From now on, don't give this person any emotions.
It's all over.
Closing the notebook, Wen Nian glanced out the dark window, took out a newly bought quilt from the closet, and went upstairs in slippers.
She sat in bed and opened her phone. A message from three hours ago was displayed on the screen.
Chen Wan: [Nian Nian, remember to get up early tomorrow morning to go to work. I'll pick you up at your house.]
It's twelve o'clock in the morning, she should not be asleep yet.
Wen Nian typed a reply: [Don't bother me, baby. I can go there myself. It's not far.]
Sure enough, the other party immediately replied: [Why are you being so polite to me? On the first day, this manager must personally take you there.]
After thinking about it, she didn't refuse anymore: [Okay, thank you, > <]
After knowing each other for a year, Shen Wan is not only Wen Nian's best friend, but also her mentor and benefactor.
After failing the postgraduate entrance examination, she could not bear the double pressure of family and psychology. She cut off all contact with the outside world in an instant, and used the scholarship she had saved from college to go to the island alone to relax.
During that lonely but peaceful time, she met Shen Wan, who also ran away from home.
Shen Wan is the daughter of the chairman of Xinyu Entertainment, an internationally renowned film and television company. At that time, her father forced her to go abroad to develop, but she just wanted to stay at home. During an argument, she had a conflict and ran away in anger.
That day, the sea breeze was strong and the sky was dark, but it could not hide the sad faces of the girls on the reef.
The two chatted about everything and became each other's confidants.
Wen Nian attended a well-known 985 university, and his computer major was considered one of the best among all majors. Combined with his excellent grades, credits, and research projects while in school, his failure in the postgraduate entrance examination was a surprise.
During the few months she spent with Shen Wan, her talent was unexpectedly discovered by him, and he was amazed. He specially invited her to work as a video editor and special effects artist in the Xinyu Entertainment branch he was in charge of.
Even if Wen Nian had continued his postgraduate studies, he might not have been able to find a high-level job that would earn him tens of thousands of yuan a month from the beginning and would definitely have a salary increase in the future.
So, she agreed without hesitation and gave up World War II.
Even though I knew he was in this city.
The nightmare that had been lingering in her heart was completely resolved by this sudden blessing in disguise, and Wen Nian was filled with gratitude.
People cannot live in the past forever. Since you have chosen to move on, you should forget those troubles and live happily for yourself.
The next morning, Wen Nian was woken up by the alarm clock. She stretched herself, closed her eyes and felt the warm sunshine coming in from the window. The wind chimes echoed in her ears, and she felt in a good mood.
The call on the cell phone was from Shen Wan.
"Hey, Nian Nian, I'm already downstairs at your house. When are you coming down?"
"So fast!" Wen Nian suddenly jumped up from the bed: "Right away!"
After messing around for a bit, she quickly went downstairs and ran towards the white luxury car on the side of the road, shouting, "I'm coming!"
The bright and elegant girl in the car looked at her with interest through the window. After the others got in the car, she still teased her: "I told you to get up early, and this is what happens when you don't obey."
Wen Nian puffed out his cheeks and murmured, "I actually set the alarm, but it's a pity it didn't wake me up the last few times."
Shen Wan chuckled and started the car: "That's because you are too sleepy. Next time I'll order ten. I don't believe I can't wake you up."
Wen Nian pursed her lips and said nothing.
The car was filled with a light, pleasant fragrance, and the music was neither too loud nor too soft.
"By the way, should I put on some light makeup? Wouldn't it be bad to look shabby on my first day at work?"
"Do you want to put on makeup? I have a full set in my car." Chen Wan generously opened the drawer for her, revealing a full set of various brand-name cosmetics.
Wen Nian was already accustomed to this kind of scene. Shen Wan didn't like her polite refusal, so she just accepted it and started to prepare.
"But you don't have to be too reserved. When I recruit, the first thing I look at is character. Everyone in the studio is carefully selected by me. They all have good personalities and tempers and are easy to get along with."
The more he spoke, the more he couldn't hide his happiness. Shen Wan looked at Wen Nian with eyes full of relief: "I believe that within a few months, you will become one of my capable men."
"When we can work together to produce a few more good works, I don't believe my father will have any excuse to force me to go abroad."
Wen Nian appears to be a soft and gentle little white rabbit, without any sharp edge, but his abilities and ideas are really strong, and he does things efficiently and effectively.
At this moment, Wen Nian happened to turn his head and met her gaze, narrowing his eyes and smiling, "Okay."
On that charming and delicate little face, hung a pair of bright eyes, and a warm smile that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, and most of the bad mood disappeared. Shen Wan couldn't help but curl his lips.
As they approached the company, Wen Nian looked out the window and said, "There are so many companies nearby."
"Yes, this is the business district. All the bigwigs from various industries gather here. Look, the most arrogant one is that 30-story building right next to us."
Hearing her unfriendly tone, Wen Nian curiously followed her gaze and said, "Shanhai Games... No wonder you're so depressed. This company is indeed quite famous. I've seen many popular games come from them."
"Yeah, but it doesn't affect us that much in this regard. After all, we're not in the same industry. I hate it purely because of a certain person."
"people?"
"Yes, a bitch. I won't say more. I'm tired of thinking about it."
Wen Nian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After arriving at the company, Shen Wan took her to complete the entry procedures, arranged her work position, and introduced her to her colleagues before leaving with peace of mind.
Wen Nian's studio, including her, housed six people: four women and two men. Each workstation was a small cubicle equipped with computers and other equipment. The partitions had three sides, reaching just waist height.
As Shen Wan said, colleagues were very enthusiastic, greeting each other and giving gifts.
After some greetings, everyone returned to their workstations.
Wen Nian's job at the beginning was not difficult. He was responsible for editing a short video.
During lunch time, while the two boys were out, Jiang Tan started a little gossip among the girls and said seriously, "Did you hear? The young master from the company next door is back in Beijing."
Wang Keling, who was standing by, was shocked: "Xu Zhijian?"
?
Wen Nian was struck by lightning. He turned his head stiffly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Xu...Zhijian?"
Which Xu Zhijian?
Whenever people talk about Xu Zhijian, they can't stop talking. Jiang Tan suddenly became more interested in chatting: "Yes, Nian Nian and Qing Qing just got here, so they might not know that he was once a big shot in Beijing circles, the son of the chairman of Shanhai Game Company."
"When it comes to being unruly, he's second to none. No one dares to claim first place. He truly deserves the title of the Great Devil of Chaos."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Qingqing's eyes lit up.
"Hey, I knew you were interested. Let me tell you in detail."
Wen Nian: I don’t want to know…
She now gets nervous whenever she hears the name.
Jiang Tan put down the spoon in his hand, hooked his long golden hair and tossed it back, looking like he was about to give a speech. "Xu Zhijian, although he comes from a scholarly family and is worth tens of billions, but apart from that face and his innate arrogance, he doesn't look like an aristocrat who has received a good education since childhood."
"He's not serious about his job and has a strong desire to have fun. In short, he's done everything that has nothing to do with self-improvement, such as fighting, drunkenness, speeding... the list goes on."
Almost subconsciously, Wen Nian's heartbeat paused, and she quickly confirmed that this person was the one she knew.
Wang Keling swallowed the little ball and immediately continued, "Speaking of fighting, we have to talk about the great devil's glorious deeds that will be remembered forever. Xu Zhijian has been very arrogant since he was a child. If he sees someone he doesn't like, he will fight them to the bitter end. In the past, he has beaten up many well-known celebrities, making many people afraid to endorse his games anymore."
"Later, he was even cyberbullied by fans from various groups, but not only did he not feel any pressure, he even personally joined the fight, using his main account to angrily criticize and making outrageous remarks—"
She cleared her throat and imitated him: "I'm going to beat this guy, so what? If you have the guts, come and beat me up too."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh: "Tsk tsk, that scene is really exciting."
Qingqing was full of admiration: "Wow, this is so manly! As a 5G surfer, I had no idea about such a big thing as challenging the inner fish! This is terrible!"
Not to mention her, Wen Nian had never heard of this even after dating Xu Zhijian for nearly three years.
I knew this guy was pretending, but I didn't expect him to pretend like this.
I couldn't help but rolled my eyes.
