Du Xiran's heart moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at Ye Nanning whose ears were red. He subconsciously wanted to touch them to see how hot they were.
But as soon as his fingers moved, he restrained himself again.
"She probably won't contact you again." Du Xiran said, "If she still contacts you after all this, it means she is a green tea girl."
Ye Nanning shook her head gently: "Probably not."
Du Xiran was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you curious about what she wants to talk to you about?"
"It has nothing to do with me anymore." Ye Nanning continued to shake her head. All she could smell was the scent of Du Xiran, a faint scent of shower gel, which was the scent she usually used. When she thought that the two of them had the same scent, she felt a little hot. She raised her head and stepped back a little, keeping a distance from Du Xiran.
"Yeah, it happened a few years ago." Seeing that she didn't want to talk about the past, Du Xiran didn't ask any more questions and went back home to prepare for bed.
But after closing her eyes, she tossed and turned again. She was curious about how Ye Nanning had dated in the past, and then she couldn't help but recall the scene just now. Why did she say that into the phone? Although it was to help force Wu Yuhong to retreat, there were many other ways, but she chose the simplest, crudest and most ambiguous one.
Oh, I'm so worried.
At lunch the next day, Du Xiran asked again: "Did she contact you?"
Ye Nanning shook her head and gave her a piece of meat: "No more, thank you, Mr. Du."
Du Xiran eats meat: "She is quite sensible."
Du Heruo looked around and found that he couldn't get into the topic. He said unhappily, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Do you have a little secret behind my back?"
Du Xiran: "Eat your meal, and don't mind your own business."
"Sister Xiaoye is only four years older than me! And I'm an adult too!"
Du Xiran changed his tone and said, "Don't mind your own business with beautiful women."
Du Heruo was so angry that he stayed in the room until it was almost dark and came out in a hurry, "Sister, please take me to school. How could I forget that I have to go to school today during the holiday?"
Du Xiran: “…”
Du Xiran verbally reprimanded her a few words, then drove her home. Unexpectedly, he ran into Wu Yuhong who was about to go out for dinner at the school gate.
The two of them bumped into each other head-on and were silent for a while. Du Xiran thought to himself that it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Seeing that she was blocking his way intentionally or unintentionally, as if she had something to say, he let Du Heruo enter the school gate by herself.
"What should I call you?" Wu Yuhong asked.
"My last name is Du."
"Miss Du, have you eaten?"
"No."
The two of them tacitly went to a restaurant near the school. The prices were not expensive, the food tasted good, and it was very popular among students.
Du Xiran had heard Du Heruo mention this restaurant, so he ordered a few snacks that Du Heruo raved about, as well as a tomato and cheese baked rice, based on his memory.
Wu Yuhong looked at the pile of plates in front of her and asked in surprise, "Miss Du seems to have a good appetite?"
"Of course, aren't you the one treating us?" Du Xiran said.
"......" Wu Yuhong nodded, "Yes, it's my treat."
"Free food is delicious." Du Xiran tasted the grilled wings, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. "It tastes good. Thank you for the meal."
Wu Yuhong saw that she was eating with gusto, but she herself had no appetite, so she got straight to the point and asked, "Are Miss Du and Nan Ning dating?"
Du Xiran was vague: "What do you think?"
Wu Yuhong lowered her eyes dejectedly for a long time before she asked softly, "She should have told you what happened before, right?"
Du Xiran rolled his eyes and said vaguely: "What do you think?"
Wu Yuhong sighed, took out a watch from his bag and placed it in front of her: "This... help me return it to her."
Du Xiran took a look and saw that it was an expensive watch. He raised his eyelids and asked, "Are you showing off the gift she gave you?"
Wu Yuhong paused, and it was undeniable that she did have some selfish motives. She said, "You are quite smart, but I really want to give it back to her."
"Why didn't you return it before?" Du Xiran asked aggressively, "Is it because you met her now and remembered her kindness, so you want her to regain her memory and renew our relationship?"
Wu Yuhong was younger after all, and when he saw that her reaction was different from what he had expected, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
Du Xiran picked up the watch, showing no envy or jealousy, but just said indifferently: "Since you want to return it, I will take it back to her. It can be sold for a lot of money second-hand."
Wu Yuhong: “…”
Wu Yuhong suddenly felt a little pain in her heart. She calmed herself down and asked, "When did you get together?"
"This is a private matter. I'm sorry I can't comment on it." Du Xiran continued to eat chicken wings.
Wu Yuhong felt like she had hit a wall, and then looked at her with worry and melancholy: "You won't deceive her feelings, will you?"
"This is something she should worry about herself. Who are you to interfere and ask about this?" Du Xiran asked.
Wu Yuhong choked and was speechless for a long time, then he started eating in silence.
Seeing her frustrated, Du Xiran drank a sip of his drink in a good mood, then raised his eyebrows, took the initiative in his hands, and pretended to be melancholy and said: "But I feel very sorry that I didn't know her a few years earlier, and I don't know what she was like before."
Hearing this, Wu Yuhong immediately wanted to confide in him, saying, "She used to be very powerful, a goddess on campus, everyone called her the first wife, the kind that was popular with both men and women."
Du Xiran held his chin up and smiled, "Did I kill you?"
Wu Yuhong couldn't look her in the eye, so she turned her head to look out the window. Students were running into the campus one after another, they were almost late. Two girls were holding hands and running in, smiling all the way. It seemed as if time had gone back a few years ago, and she was holding Ye Nanning's hand and running past the school gate together.
"I don't."
The answer surprised Du Xiran. She asked incredulously, "What do you mean? You don't like her? Didn't you two have a relationship?"
Wu Yuhong's eyes suddenly soured, and she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. A tissue was handed to her, and she took it and wiped her eyes, sobbing softly: "I also want to... like her, I'm so bad."
Wu Yuhong likes Ye Nanning, but not in love, she doesn’t love women.
Ye Nanning was a quiet person in high school. Her pretty appearance made many people feel that she was aggressive, and few people were willing to approach her, except for the cheerful and outgoing Wu Yuhong, who took the initiative to talk to her after becoming her deskmate and never tired of making her happy.
The two became good friends. They went to and from school together, even to the bathroom together. On weekends, she would often go to the apartment rented by Ye Nanning.
This friendship lasted for two years until one day in her senior year of high school, when she found a record of Ye Nanning watching a gay movie on the TV in her apartment and jokingly asked, "Are you gay?"
"Yes, I am." Ye Nanning told her good friend the secret frankly.
Wu Yuhong was quite frightened, but afterwards she couldn't help but wonder, Ye Nanning was so nice to her, could it be that she liked her?
She asked directly when she thought of it, but Ye Nanning remained silent for a long time without any answer. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if even she herself was not sure whether she had such feelings for Wu Yuhong.
However, Wu Yuhong mistakenly thought that she was too embarrassed to speak up, and since she was her only close female friend, she naturally assumed that Ye Nanning was secretly in love with her.
At that time, she was too young, too concerned about her reputation, and had a strong sense of vanity. When she thought that the campus goddess liked her, and that she was admired by such an outstanding person of the same sex, she inevitably felt a little flattered, and a little secretly happy.
So she began to enjoy Ye Nanning's kindness to her with peace of mind. For example, she would ask Ye Nanning to pay for her favorite snacks, ask Ye Nanning to give her extra lessons when her homework was not good. She would also secretly show off to other friends that Ye Nanning liked her, which earned her surprised and envious looks from everyone.
She also acted more intimately with Ye Nanning, always holding her hand when walking together, and holding hands very frequently. These actions were nothing to her, as for girls, such behavior was normal.
She also clearly felt that Ye Nanning really liked her. The way he looked at her gradually changed. There was more doting and love in his eyes than before, and he was always willing to give.
She became more and more addicted to this ambiguous relationship. Although Ye Nanning was the princess, she was held in the princess's palm and experienced an unprecedented sense of superiority. However, beautiful dreams would always be shattered one day.
One day she went to Ye Nanning's apartment to play. She was playing games while Ye Nanning was doing homework beside her. She put down her phone to make trouble, and lay on the table to pester Ye Nanning to play games with her.
Ye Nanning looked at her and suddenly wanted to kiss her.
Just as their lips were about to touch, Wu Yuhong woke up as if from a dream. He pushed her away suddenly, fear in his eyes.
At that moment, she saw the light in Ye Nanning's eyes seemed to go out.
In the next few days, Ye Nanning was always testing her intentionally or unintentionally, and every time he tried to kiss her, she would subconsciously avoid him.
Ye Nanning asked: "Aren't we in love?"
Wu Yuhong asked in a panic: "Really? We haven't confirmed our relationship yet, right?"
Ye Nanning's eyes darkened: "Didn't you... tell everyone else? I thought..."
"What do you think? You don't think I like you, do you? I just treat you as my best friend. Can we still be like before?" Wu Yuhong said in a panic and regretted it as soon as he said it.
Ye Nanning whispered, "I understand. I'm sorry. I misunderstood."
They still couldn't go back to the way they were before. Wu Yuhong completely lost a friend, and Ye Nanning didn't make new friends. She devoted herself to studying and blocked out other people's flattery and kindness.
The dishes on the table gradually cooled down, and there were still a lot of them left. Du Xiran had lost his appetite and did not want to eat.
Her phone vibrated twice. She picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Ye Nanning.
Ye Nanning: [Boss Du, when will you be back? ]
Ye Nanning: [What do you want to eat tonight? ]
Du Xiran: [Eating outside]
Du Xiran: [With Wu Yuhong]
Ye Nanning: [? ? !]
"This matter has always been a knot in my heart. I was too young back then and couldn't bring myself to apologize to Nan Ning. Now, she has ignored me," said Wu Yuhong.
Du Xiran slowly uttered two words: "You deserve it."
Wu Yuhong held her face with both hands and sobbed, "I also know that I am despicable..."
While she was crying, Du Xiran sent Ye Nanning the address of a restaurant: [Come out for dinner, I’m not full]
Ye Nanning: [Right away! ]
After Wu Yuhong calmed down a little, she looked at her with tears in her eyes: "What about you? Are you sincere to her?"
Du Xiran: "What do you want to say?"
"I hope you won't lie to her again," said Wu Yuhong.
Du Xiran said with a fake smile: "What's the use of belated affection? You've already hurt her once, so can you demand others with your experience? I don't need you to tell me what to do, because no matter what, I'm not as naive and cruel as you."
Wu Yuhong was speechless.
Du Xiran stood up and prepared to leave. When he passed by her, he still felt a little angry.
She knew that Wu Yuhong wanted to apologize and atone for what happened that year, and even put on an attitude of a good guy to remind Ye Nanning of her "new love" in order to make up for her own guilt.
But Du Xiran was very unhappy. He could still vividly remember Ye Nanning's panic-stricken and fragile appearance at the parent-teacher meeting two days ago because she was afraid of contact with other parents.
Therefore, she did not intend to let her let her go. Why could an apology after hurting others eliminate the guilt in her heart?
She patted Wu Yuhong's shoulder and said word by word, "Do you know that she doesn't dare to open her heart and make friends easily now? She doesn't dare to take the initiative to clarify when being ridiculed and slandered behind her back, and she is even afraid to contact any strangers? She could not be so lonely, but it's all because of you, you, her best friend, who hurt her the most."
Wu Yuhong was heartbroken and tears welled up in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Stop disturbing her life. You don't deserve it. You are just a sinner."
Du Xiran drove to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet. Ye Nanning had already arrived. After seeing her sit down, she looked a little flustered and hesitated to speak. She seemed to have no idea where to start. She could only pour her a cup of tea and then asked weakly, "Why did you meet her?"
Du Xiran took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "I met him at school."
"Oh...what did she tell you?" Ye Nanning asked cautiously, "Did she say a lot of bad things about me?"
Du Xiran put down the cup with a smile: "Why are you saying bad things? Were you not a bad person in high school?"
Ye Nanning: "I'm not a bad person, President Du. If she says anything weird, don't believe her. I have nothing to do with her anymore."
Du Xiran smiled and was about to speak when the waiter brought the food and interrupted them.
"Eat it while it's hot. It's my treat." Du Xiran said.
"Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?" Although President Du invited her to dinner every now and then, Du Xiran had just had dinner with Wu Yuhong tonight, and he suddenly invited her to dinner. She was always afraid that it was a Hongmen Banquet.
Could it be that after dinner, Mr. Du would completely draw a line between himself and her?
"Because I want to thank you." Du Xiran said.
"Hmm?" Ye Nanning raised her head and looked at her puzzledly, "Thank me for what?"
Du Xiran smiled but said nothing.
Thank you for keeping your innocent heart even after being hurt, and for trusting and loving me regardless of everything after your relationship was deceived, used up and exploited.
For the first time, Du Xiran felt from the bottom of her heart that it was a great blessing to be loved so wholeheartedly by someone.
The author has something to say:
I would like to recommend my friend's article "Melting Iceberg Diary" by Anci Ganer
Copy 1:
Zuo Yu is a well-known iceberg beauty. It is said that anyone who has bumped into Zuo's heart will suffer from a concussion, but Chi Qianyi just doesn't believe it.
She made a bet with her best friend that she would be able to melt the iceberg within three months! Everyone thought it was nonsense, but she didn't expect...
She caught up!!!
The good times didn’t last long. The next day I received a breakup text message from Zuo Yu: Are you making a bet with someone else using me?
That time, Chi Qianyi was completely blocked.
Later, Chi Qianyi decided to pursue her seriously.
But Zuo Yu rejected her:
"You don't really think I'm easy to chase, do you?"
Chi Qian, who was unable to defend himself, could only be blown away by the wind...
How do we melt this iceberg that has melted and frozen quickly?
Copy 2:
Everyone said that Zuo Yu was a thousand-year-old iceberg, but only she knew it was because she had someone in her heart.
I never dreamed that Chi Qianyi would knock on the door on his own initiative.
While he was happy, he never expected that she was actually a scumbag. Zuo Yu felt disheartened.
"No, your fish pond is too crowded."
"Don't you know that the best way to meet your ex-girlfriend is to never see her again?"
"Never."
Later, someone saw Zuo Yu hugging Chi Qianyi on the street, and the two behaved ambiguously.
Oh, this is what women call impossible.
One night, Chi Qianyi took out a book called "Melting Iceberg Diary" from under the bed and wrote tremblingly:
