Chapter 18 Soft and tender voice: "Hold~"
Half an hour later, Xie Yanwen rushed back to the hotel and saw Xu Nianyi sitting obediently on the steps outside the hotel with her knees hugged, looking into the distance.
She saw him as he got off the car, and waved to him from afar, smiling brightly with her eyes curved.
This scene completely overlapped with when he went back to the police station to pick her up.
Although she always loves to laugh and speaks shamelessly, she looks like a heartless person.
But Xie Yanwen often felt that she was actually a very lonely person, as if she was always waiting alone.
Even when I smile like this, it doesn't seem like I'm truly happy.
This realization gently tugged at a spot in his heart, making him soften involuntarily.
He half-knelt in front of her, looking at her levelly, his eyes gentle and helpless: "Xu Nianyi, are you stupid?"
Xu Nianyi frowned: "What? You scold me as soon as you come?"
Xie Yanwen sighed softly: "If I hadn't called you, or if I couldn't come, would you have just sat here forever?"
Like that night, I sat in the police station all night.
She could have left.
But she shook her head readily: "No."
She looked at him as if he were a fool: "I told Ruan Yunheng a long time ago that if you don't contact me before six o'clock and can't pick me up, he will come to pick me up."
Xie Yanwen was almost laughed out of anger by her again.
He discovered that Xu Nianyi was probably there to suppress him, always making him angry when he wanted to be gentle.
The tip of his tongue touched her cheek, but Xie Yanwen still felt that he couldn't do anything to her.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
He could only look away and sneer: "Do you think you can piss me off by having Ruan Yunheng as your backup?"
Xu Nianyi shook his head: "Seriously, you are the spare tire."
Xie Yanwen: “…”
Xu Nianyi: "After all, even if you want to be my father, you can only be my godfather."
Xie Yanwen's expression instantly turned ugly: "Who wants to be your godfather?"
At this moment, he didn't even have time to think about the deeper meaning of her words.
Xu Nianyi pouted: "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Why are you so fierce?"
Then she frowned and blinked at him innocently and pitifully: "My feet hurt so much, and you are still mean to me~"
The voice was very artificial. Xie Yanwen pursed his lips to suppress his irritation, lowered his eyes and looked at her ankle: "Let me see."
She injured her right foot and her ankle was a little red and swollen.
Xie Yanwen sat down beside her, stretched out his legs, gently held her calves and placed her feet flat on his legs.
He stared at her red and swollen area, but didn't have any special thoughts.
As soon as I touched the red and swollen area with my fingertips, she hissed and retracted her foot.
Xie Yanwen gripped her calf tightly to prevent her from moving. Seeing that her usually clear eyes had actually become misty, his brows tightened instantly: "Does it hurt so much?"
He even felt that she was in so much pain that she was about to cry before he actually touched her.
She's so spoiled, and she still wants to play?
She will cry to death by then!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xie Yanwen cleared his throat uncomfortably and didn't dare to touch her: "Let's go to the hospital."
Carefully lowering her legs, Xie Yanwen asked her, "Can you walk?"
Xu Nianyi shook his head and hummed: "I can't leave."
After saying that, she looked at him, stretched out her hand towards him, and said in a soft and delicate voice: "Hold~"
Xie Yanwen’s eyelids twitched.
She really thinks she is a spoiled little daughter.
He had a severe headache, but he couldn't do anything about her. He hesitated for a few seconds and turned his back to her: "I'll carry you."
He was only wearing a black short-sleeved shirt at the moment. Because of the squatting action, his back was slightly bent, and the uneven joints on the spine could be seen, revealing his strong back muscles. The sense of strength he exuded made people feel extremely safe.
Xu Nianyi looked at his back, tilted her head and remained silent for two seconds, then slowly raised her hands and put them around his neck.
He also reached his arms back, clenched his fists politely, lifted her legs, and easily carried her on his back.
Xie Yanwen came here by taxi, so of course he had to carry her to the hotel entrance to hail a taxi.
The girl was very obedient at this moment, lying quietly on his back, her soft arms gently wrapped around his neck.
He lifted her upwards again.
She was so light that she seemed weightless, like the long-eared rabbit he used to raise.
Xie Yanwen suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?"
"No."
Xu Nianyi spoke softly, because they were too close, it felt like she was right next to his ear when she spoke, which was a bit itchy.
Xie Yanwen tilted his head slightly away: "Let me take you to dinner first?"
"I'm not hungry."
Xu Nianyi really had no appetite at the moment.
She lay on his back, their bodies pressed against each other, and she could feel that his body temperature was obviously higher.
He should still have a fever.
Xu Nianyi suddenly felt that she was a little willful.
He shouldn't have been asked to pick her up.
So she just said, "Go straight to the hospital. I'll take care of your feet, and you can go back and continue with the IV."
Xie Yanwen nodded: "That's fine, I'll have someone buy you some food when we get to the hospital."
Xie Yanwen carried her easily to the hotel gate. He looked around and was about to stop a car when Xu Nianyi suddenly called him in a low voice: "BB..."
She wanted to ask him if he was feeling uncomfortable, because she felt like his temperature was rising.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, Xie Yanwen said helplessly: "Don't call me that."
Xu Nianyi: "Why?"
Xie Yanwen withdrew his hand that was about to stop the car and supported her with both hands again.
The girl's soft body pressed against him, and the soft and numb touch spread down along the spine of his back, making him think that the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off. The blood in his body began to boil again, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He had tried his best to ignore the softness of the girl's body and the faint scent of gardenia that kept wafting into his nostrils.
She just refuses to be honest.
Xie Yanwen's gaze fell on the people and cars coming and going at the hotel entrance: "Didn't you say that I am you..."
After a pause, he seemed a little embarrassed and whispered: "Husband."
Since he is my husband, of course I can’t call him that anymore. It makes him look like a pervert.
After what happened today, Xie Yanwen almost completely believed her.
If she hadn't come from 30 years later, she wouldn't have known that.
So what she said was true, and he would really marry her in the future.
Xie Yanwen thought about that future seriously and felt that it was acceptable. He even had a faint sense of anticipation.
After all, she is actually quite pretty and cute.
Xie Yanwen curled the corners of his lips in a place where Xu Nianyi couldn't see, then cleared his throat and said calmly, "Who calls me husband..."
But when I think about it, it seems that my husband can also be called "bb". It's all her fault. She made a good name sound so weird.
"Actually, let me tell you the truth. You are neither my dad nor my husband. To be honest, you are just my ex-husband, and we have been divorced for a long time."
When Xie Yanwen spoke, Xu Nianyi also spoke in a muffled voice.
Xie Yanwen: “?”
He was confused.
Ex-husband?
Oh, it only took him two days to go from her baby to her husband and then to her ex-husband.
Get a job quickly and get laid off even faster.
It won’t be long before he goes from being her ex-husband to being her deceased husband.
hehe.
He gritted his teeth and clicked his tongue irritably: "Then tell me why we are getting divorced?"
Xu Nianyi sighed: "You'd better not know. If you knew, I'm afraid you would feel so guilty that you couldn't even lift your head."
Xie Yanwen sneered, "Why don't you tell me? I want to hear what's so incredible that it makes me feel so guilty that I can't even lift my head up."
Xu Nianyi sighed again: "You cheated."
"?"
Before Xie Yanwen could come back to his senses, she suddenly called him, "Xie Yanwen."
This seemed to be the first time she called his name seriously. When he was slightly stunned, she leaned close to his ear and added slowly, word by word: "You are a scumbag!"
Xie Yanwen: “…”
Suddenly I wanted to throw her down.
Just when he was so angry that he was fuming, his back suddenly became stiff.
Something cold dripped down his neck. He subconsciously turned to look at her, but she had already buried her head in his shoulder. He could only see the top of her soft hair.
But the hand hooked around his neck suddenly tightened a little, and a muffled voice came from his shoulder, low and soft, with helplessness and self-contempt: "You don't like me. When you divorced me, I cried and begged you, but you still forced me to sign. You said she was younger than me and you were tired of me. You also said: Xu Nianyi, don't embarrass yourself..."
Xie Yanwen froze completely.
My heart plummeted, bringing with it a sinking and suffocating feeling.
Before he could carefully feel whether the suffocation was heartache, she said in a hoarse voice, "But I still like you."
She caught the heart that had just fallen in her palm and rubbed it hard twice, causing a sore and swollen pain.
He finally felt it.
It really hurts.
Xie Yanwen was suddenly at a loss. He turned his head hard, trying to see her expression as she said this: "Xu Nianyi, you..."
Xu Nianyi tilted her head again, pressed her face against his shoulder, and looked into the distance.
"So I figured it out. If we don't stay together or be lovers, then anything else is fine. That way we'll never be apart, right?"
Her voice was as soft as cotton candy, but her words were not sweet at all, and even tasted a bit bitter.
Xie Yanwen lowered his eyelashes, his eyes gradually dimmed, and the hand supporting her slowly tightened.
She figured it out.
What should I do then?
He couldn't figure it out.
