Xu Nuo felt a sudden unease.
Although she has always been a skeptic, living inside a book now forces her to compromise on certain things.
The events that have occurred recently have been undermining her confidence.
Xu Jinan took the herbal tea she gave him to Xu Yan to bribe her, but failed to get her to return home as she wished.
Luo Chen and Xu Yan prepared for the college entrance examination with such dedication, but one missed the exam due to illness, and the other failed.
The two, who thought they would never have any further interaction, have now become people who can do each other's laundry.
To make matters worse, the rumors and gossip about Xu Yan and Luo Chen in the original book were the trigger for Li Xian to take action against Xu Nuo.
None of this could completely put Xu Nuo at ease. She tried to comfort herself that everything was alright, but she couldn't help but keep thinking about it.
Lost in thought, she didn't notice anyone stopping in front of her.
Nie Wenkai first glanced at her and found that she was in a meditative state and had not noticed him at all, so he said to his colleagues, "Wait here for me."
After saying that, he ran towards Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo frowned slightly at this moment.
If things really do turn out as she predicted, and everything falls into the plot when the time comes, and Li Xian and Xu Yan eventually end up together, then she…
Wouldn't we really become cannon fodder?
"Xu Nuo."
Nie Wenkai's voice came out without warning, almost startling Xu Nuo, who was deep in thought, so much that she almost lost her soul.
Seeing her staring blankly at him, her jewel-like eyes looking wet and pitiful in the sunlight, Nie Wenkai's heart skipped a beat.
He realized he had frightened Xu Nuo, and asked cautiously, "Are you alright?"
Xu Nuo blinked and shook her head at him: "It's nothing."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Xu Nuo then realized that he was standing all alone at the entrance of the fertilizer plant, like a telephone pole.
The tractor had already driven away.
She opened her big eyes, pointed to the top of her head, and shamelessly made up a story: "I'm sunbathing."
Nie Wenkai: "..."
He looked up at the sunlight, which was hot and bright; standing here, he could indeed get a good full sun exposure.
He's a straight man, so he asked directly, "So the reason you looked like you were about to cry was because the sun was too strong?"
sky.
Was she really that pitiful?
Alas, what a tragic young woman, heartbroken by love.
Xu Nuo slumped her shoulders helplessly and said listlessly, "Is there something you need?"
Nie Wenkai was taken aback and was about to shake his head and say that nothing was wrong when he saw her lower her head, her fingertips twirling the hem of her clothes, her voice muffled: "If you have something to do, then you should leave quickly. See you next time."
It's practically like blatantly saying, "Go now, goodbye."
Nie Wenkai was caught between a rock and a hard place. His usually incessant chatter suddenly seemed to have lost its mind, leaving him speechless.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Nuo thoughtfully waved to him, "Bye-bye."
Nie Wenkai: "..."
He was a sensible person. He nodded, pointed to the two people peeking in from not far away, and said, "My colleague and I are on patrol. I'll go first. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Xu Nuo smiled, but her voice was still muffled. Her originally sweet voice was tinged with melancholy, and she suddenly looked pitiful.
Nie Wenkai glanced at her with some concern.
…
In the fertilizer plant's office building, Li Xian's figure was hidden by the window, his face expressionless.
His curled fingertips betrayed his emotions.
He hadn't expected the cops to appear so quickly.
Those two men were the plainclothes officers who had previously pursued him.
Liu Chun confessed to him so quickly?
Thinking of this, a shadow fell over Li Xian's eyes.
Fearing he would be exposed, he only glanced briefly through the window and did not see Xu Nuo and Nie Wenkai standing outside the fertilizer plant's gate, completely hidden by the high wall.
He immediately walked to the other side of the fertilizer plant, glanced at the exit, and wondered if he could escape from this direction if the police made a move.
"Brother Li, there's a man named Xu Nuo outside looking for you."
Li Xian's eyes narrowed instantly, and he stood there stunned, almost losing his composure.
Glutinous?
Wang Zhaodi had always known that Li Xian was aloof, but she had never seen him so helpless and flustered.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
Li Xian's voice trembled slightly: "Tell them I'm not here."
Not here?
Brother Li, where is that woman?
Wang Zhaodi's eyes lit up with joy, and she nodded, saying, "I'll go tell her right away that you're not here and that she should leave."
"Yes." Li Xian murmured absentmindedly, "Let's go."
At this time, you must not get involved with him.
Wang Long and the others stood not far away. Seeing Wang Zhaodi walking hurriedly outside, they asked, "What's wrong? Why didn't Li Xian come out?"
The group of five was stopped downstairs by an incredibly beautiful woman who said she was a relative of Li Xian named Xu Nuo and had urgent business with Li Xian.
Wang Long and the others were about to tell Li Xian when Wang Zhaodi intercepted them.
Wang Zhaodi said with a contemptuous look, "That woman is shameless. She keeps pestering Brother Li, but Brother Li won't see her."
Wang Long was shocked. Was that fairy clinging to Li Xian?
He rarely saw such an exciting event, and he and the other four watched the spectacle with strange expressions.
Xu Nuo was waiting at the entrance of the fertilizer plant.
The light pink mid-sleeve dress she wore accentuated her fair skin, and below a small section of her dazzlingly white calves were a pair of buckled leather shoes.
Her long, black hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders; her skin was like porcelain; her eyes were bright; and her lips were like lacquer.
What kind of devil is Li Xian, that he would reject such a female comrade?
Wang Zhaodi and Wang Long had different thoughts. The more beautiful Xu Nuo was, the more disliked she felt. At this moment, she looked at Xu Nuo with her head held high and her chest puffed out, like a victorious fighting rooster.
Xu Nuo noticed her gaze, suppressed her smile, and looked at Wang Long and the others with a faint expression.
Although it wasn't intentional, she was glad that she had found Wang Long and the others. They were all men, and one of them seemed to have a good relationship with Li Xian.
With more people, the dramatic scenes from melodramatic romance dramas are naturally less likely to occur.
Female lead: Please tell the male lead that I'm waiting for him at xx. See you there.
The malicious messenger went for a quick trip and returned without saying a word: "Sorry, he won't see you. You should leave."
Then the female lead misunderstands the male lead, who is unaware of what happened, and both are hurt, leading to a melodramatic situation.
"Comrade, what did Li Xian say?"
Wang Long was so nervous under those eyes that he couldn't speak. It was Wang Zhaodi who spoke up: "He said he's not here and told you to leave quickly."
Xu Nuo wanted to laugh. What was going on? Was this really starting to turn into melodrama?
She was still staring at Wang Long, her face naturally pitiful, and her voice seemed to have a bewitching quality: "Comrade, Li Xian said he's not here?"
Since Wang Zhaodi spoke so blatantly, she also asked blatantly.
Wang Long, blinded by greed, nodded dumbly: "Yes, comrade, you should go back now, don't wait any longer."
It seems Li Xianzai is not going to see her.
Why?
Xu Nuo's face instantly turned cold. She nodded and asked Wang Long, "Is he very busy? Or did he break his leg?"
Are you too busy to meet her, or have broken another arm or leg, and you're avoiding her to prevent her from worrying?
Wang Long felt both excited and tormented as the beautiful woman stared at him.
this…
No, he saw Li Xian standing there in a daze for a long time.
He couldn't bear to say it, but Wang Zhaodi spoke up again: "Brother Li isn't busy, and he's doing well, he just doesn't want to see you."
Wang Long wiped his sweat and said, "Zhao Di, thank you so much."
Xu Nuo then seemed to notice Wang Zhaodi and her gaze fell on her.
Wang Zhaodi felt she had the upper hand, and her vanity and competitiveness were greatly satisfied. But when Xu Nuo gave her such a casual look, she suddenly felt a little scared. For some reason, she blurted out, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see."
Wang Long and the others were shocked and looked at Wang Zhaodi with some disapproval. How could she do this? She was supposed to drive people away, so why was she bringing them in?
Wang Zhaodi spoke rashly and regretted it as soon as she said it. However, no woman would agree to such a provocation.
This delicate woman will surely be so ashamed that she'll turn around and run away.
Unfortunately, Xu Nuo not only didn't turn around and run away, but also looked at Wang Zhaodi with a smile.
"Okay, lead the way."
Xu Nuo is the kind of person who asks questions when she has doubts and speaks her mind when she has something to say.
Everything has to be resolved eventually.
If Wang Zhaodi didn't dare to bring her to see him, it meant that these people were just putting on a melodramatic show for her and hadn't actually sent her any messages.
But if she does see him and Li Xianzhen deliberately avoids her, then she'll know what to do.
Wang Zhaodi felt a tightness in her chest, hating herself for her sharp tongue, and hesitated.
Xu Nuo glanced at her indifferently: "Please come in. I have a life-or-death matter to attend to, and I can't delay."
Wang Long exclaimed, "Ah! Is it really urgent?"
Xu Nuo gave him a chuckle: "Otherwise what? You guys aren't thinking about those trivial love affairs, are you?"
These words were like a slap in the face to several people, especially Wang Zhaodi, who, seeing the strange looks from Wang Long and the others, couldn't help but argue, "It's true, Brother Li really said he couldn't see her."
She gritted her teeth and said, "Come with me."
Xu Nuo nodded to Wang Long and the others, then followed with graceful steps.
This doesn't look like someone shamelessly clinging to Li Xian at all!
Wang Long clicked his tongue and shook his head: "It must be something urgent."
The person next to her chimed in, "That's right, that's right. This woman has an extraordinary air about her; she's definitely not what Wang Zhaodi described."
"Comrade Wang Zhaodi is really going too far, making such a fuss about an innocent female comrade."
The group followed behind Xu Nuo and Wang Zhaodi, and every word they said reached their ears.
Wang Zhaodi was filled with shame and indignation, and quickened her pace, determined to make sure Xu Nuo saw everything clearly.
Upon reaching the second floor, they found no trace of Li Xian.
"That's strange, Brother Li was just here."
Wang Zhaodi walked down the street, and Xu Nuo followed behind.
Everyone in the fertilizer plant stared at the incredibly beautiful woman with astonishment.
Wang Zhaodi pulled someone aside: "Where's Brother Li?"
"I just saw him go to the back door."
Xu Nuo's expression remained normal, but her fingertips tightened, indicating that Li Xian was indeed at the fertilizer plant.
…
The sun was still high in the sky, scorching the earth.
Li Xian glanced at the back door and immediately knew something was wrong.
There were people at the back door too.
He turned to walk back, and suddenly saw several people coming towards him.
His gaze fell almost immediately on the light pink figure, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.
He caught his breath.
Wang Zhaodi shouted out happily.
"Li Xian."
The sound made Li Xian tense up, and his cold, sharp eyes almost reflexively looked towards the back door.
Wang Zhaodi glanced triumphantly at Xu Nuo beside her, wondering what kind of sad and painful expression she should show. Unexpectedly, Xu Nuo's expression remained unchanged, and she even wore a proper and elegant smile.
She was somewhat surprised that this woman didn't seem sad at all.
Xu Nuo was naturally unhappy. She glanced at him, but her smile didn't reach her eyes.
He had all four limbs intact, and there wasn't a single scratch on his body. He looked at himself with a nervous expression.
Xu Nuo sneered inwardly. With his lie exposed, he should naturally be nervous.
Li Xian took a step forward and rubbed his fingertips together heavily: "Comrade Xu... Comrade Xu."
Xu Nuo nodded and said, "Comrade Li, I've come to talk to you about the exoneration of your parents."
Wang Long and the others suddenly realized what was going on.
See? He knew it! A woman like that would only come if she had something important to say, not the kind of shameless woman who clings to men.
Wang Zhaodi's face was grim, and she stared at the two people walking away with a complicated expression.
Xu Nuo stopped and went straight to the point: "I had someone call you earlier, and you said you weren't here. Do you have anything to explain?"
She deliberately walked away, so that no one else would hear her.
If there is a misunderstanding, he can explain.
Li Xian's body stiffened, as if the anxiety and fear in his heart were burning through him.
He frantically tried to explain, but just as the words were about to leave his mouth, he suddenly changed his mind.
The cops are right outside, probably watching his every move right now.
Liu Chun has already been arrested; he cannot escape.
If he becomes infamous, how will she cope if she gets involved with him?
Moreover, from a certain perspective, Xu Nuo is the maker of herbal tea, and she also has secrets that the police cannot investigate.
Li Xian's hands clenched into heavy fists, making a cracking sound as he held them where she couldn't see.
It didn't matter if he was covered in filth, but it didn't matter if she was.
She should be completely innocent.
His silence made Xu Nuo frown slightly, and a sense of impatience rose in her heart for no reason.
Her voice was cold: "I'm asking you a question."
Li Xian's gaze lingered on the doorway, hoping that Xu Nuo would leave as soon as possible.
"You go home first."
These words made Xu Nuo's eyes tremble.
No explanation needed?
That means he really doesn't want to see her anymore.
It turns out that she had been overestimating herself all along, thinking that the plot of the book could be changed, and that she and Li Xian would have a different ending.
But as it turns out, everything was exactly as the plot unfolded.
Even though some parts are different, the important plot points remain unchanged.
Having come this far, Xu Nuo felt there was no need to say anything more. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, concealing the emotions in her eyes. She nodded and took a small step back.
This step felt like stepping on Li Xian's heart, crushing it as if it were about to shatter it.
"By the way, I did come here because I have something urgent to tell you."
Xu Nuo looked up at him, very seriously: "Don't come looking for me again."
After saying that, she turned and left.
