In the spacious room, there was a sudden "bang" and the sound of a cell phone falling to the ground was heard.
Ye Nanning picked it up in a panic and looked at the screen again, her eyes fixed on those four words.
【I miss her.】
I miss her.
Miss her.
she......
“Aa ...
There was a scream as the door opened. Ye Tingyuan passed by and was startled by the noise inside. He thought something had happened, so he tried to turn the door handle and found that there was no lock from the inside. He opened it immediately and asked, "What happened?"
Ye Nanning fell on the bed and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, don't worry about me, just help me close the door."
"Are you really alright?"
"Um."
Only after hearing the sound of the door closing did Ye Nanning raise her head from the bed, her face almost wrinkled from smiling.
She stood up again, without even putting on her shoes, and started dancing on the spot with her cell phone in her arms. She turned several circles, then lay down on the bed, stretching her legs straight.
At this moment, she really wanted to call Du Xiran, but as soon as she opened WeChat, she thought of something and immediately exited.
Then I went back to the Weibo dialog box and stared at those words in a daze. I really wanted to reply with something, but nothing I said felt right. Some things were better said in person.
God knows how much she missed Du Xiran these two days.
After returning to the Ye family, she no longer had to do housework, and no one urged her to cook quickly. No one would praise her cooking skills at the dinner table or chat with her about work.
Most of the time, she stayed in her room, either watching finance-related videos or working on her papers, so that she could restrain herself from harassing Du Xiran.
Ever since things got a little awkward when she was with Du Xiran last time, she had been deliberately restraining her behavior so as not to cause a burden to the other party.
Moreover, she can get a glimpse of Du Xiran's life from Du Heruo's Moments. When Du Heruo is on vacation, the frequency of updating Moments increases, and she posts about every little thing. After Du Xiran returns home, she posts more content, sometimes taking a couple of pictures of Du Xiran sleeping in to criticize her, and sometimes secretly taking a few beautiful pictures of Du Xiran to praise her.
Ye Nanning felt very happy when she saw Du Xiran from these details, so she secretly hid her overwhelming longing for him.
However, to her great surprise, it turned out that President Du was also thinking about her!
......
The next day, Du Xiran got up early, which was rare for him.
Normally weekends are a time to catch up on sleep, but I’ve slept enough in the past two days since I came back, so I woke up naturally before nine this morning.
After she got up and had some breakfast, she was dragged by her parents to go shopping for New Year's goods. She was not very interested in these things, she just followed them and paid the bill.
The supermarket was packed with people, with various promotional slogans coming one after another, making it as lively as a pot of porridge.
Du Xiran pushed the shopping cart and followed them to the fresh food area. The old couple were discussing what to buy. She glanced at it inadvertently and subconsciously took a few boxes of strawberries. Then she saw durian and chose a few boxes of durian meat.
"Hey, what are you doing? No one in the family likes to eat this." Mother Du immediately stopped her, "When did you start liking durian?"
Du Xiran paused, then realized that no one in her family really liked durian, including herself, only Ye Nanning liked it.
In the past, when they occasionally went to the supermarket together, Ye Nanning would buy some durian, and once she even made a durian pizza. She took a bite and thought it was delicious, and she was no longer so averse to durian.
"You can make durian pizza." Du Xiran suggested.
"I can't do it, can you do it?" Mother Du asked soul-searchingly.
Du Xiran: "I...can't."
Mother Du: "Then why did you buy it? Put it back now."
Seeing her mother was about to put the durian back, Du Xiran suddenly snatched it back and said, "I'll eat it and I'll make it!"
Mother Du asked curiously, "Oh, are you going to show off your skills?"
"I can learn." Du Xiran boasted that he could take this opportunity to make a video call with Ye Nanning and ask for advice.
Plan Pass√
After shopping for more than an hour, the shopping cart was almost full, so the old couple prepared to go home.
Halfway through the journey, the phone rang. She put on her Bluetooth headset and heard Ye Nanning's voice on the other end: "Hello, President Du."
At that moment, Du Xiran's mood lightened up, and the expression on his face brightened up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his tone remained calm: "It's me, what's wrong?"
Ye Nanning was silent for a few seconds, then asked cautiously: "Where are you now?"
"In my hometown." Du Xiran said casually.
"Where exactly is your home?"
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Du Xiran's eyebrows jumped: "You are not..."
"I'm at the W City Airport." Ye Nanning said, and immediately added, "I'm here for a trip, and I thought you might be here, so I wanted to contact you."
The car suddenly braked several times, and Mother Du, who was peeling oranges, fell forward, and some juice came out of the oranges accidentally: "Hey, what are you doing? Don't you know how to drive on such a wide road?"
Du Xiran took off his Bluetooth headset first and said, "Get out of the car."
Mother Du: “What?”
"We'll be there soon, you two can walk back." Du Xiran said.
The old couple stood on the side of the road. Before they could figure out what was going on, the car in front of them drove away.
Mother Du: “?”
Father Du: “???”
The car sped along and soon arrived at the airport. She found Ye Nanning at the exit. From a distance, she saw her standing in a corner, looking around. Once she saw someone passing by, she subconsciously lowered her head, like a puppy waiting for its owner.
"Ye Nanning."
Hearing the sound under the tree, Ye Nanning raised her head and saw Du Xiran walking towards her. She trotted over with her bag in her hand, a gleam in her eyes: "Boss Du."
Du Xiran saw that she only had a small bag on her body and didn't even bring a set of clothes, so he smiled meaningfully: "Why are you here?"
"Travel." Ye Nanning began to play it safe.
Du Xiran crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Let's continue making up stories."
"......"
"Let's go, there are too many people here." Du Xiran turned around and walked outside. A minute later, she looked back at the people behind her and asked, "Why are you walking so slowly?"
Ye Nanning originally wanted to peek at her back for a while longer, but when she heard her say that, she had no choice but to quicken her pace, walk to her side, and walk side by side with her. She was secretly delighted, not knowing that Du Xiran also curled up the corner of his mouth silently at this time.
After getting in the car, Du Xiran held the steering wheel and followed her lie and asked, "Come on, Miss Ye, where do you want to travel? This tour guide will personally take you there."
"Hmm..." Ye Nanning's mind raced as she recalled the attractions in W City. After struggling for a while, she gave up and said, "I'm not going."
Du Xiran laughed softly and asked, "If you're not here for tourism, then why did you come all the way here?"
Ye Nanning pursed her lips, worried that she had frightened him again, but when she turned her head and looked at Du Xiran, who was smiling slightly, all her worries were thrown out of her mind, and she couldn't help but say, "I miss you."
Fortunately, Du Xiran did not overreact. He just smiled, started the car, and looked forward: "Got it."
Because she had to concentrate on driving, Ye Nanning became bolder and her peek became more blatant. Anyway, it was impossible for President Du to find time to beat her up while she was driving.
She carefully observed Du Xiran's expression and noticed that the corners of his eyes were slightly raised. She thought that he should be in a good mood, so she felt relieved and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
This is where Du Xiran grew up. Ye Nanning is full of curiosity about it. The surrounding scenery appears before her eyes one after another, and she can't help but imagine what the young Du Xiran was like.
After a long while, she suddenly thought of a question: "Boss Du, where are we going?"
"My home."
"What?!" Ye Nanning looked at her in horror.
"When I asked you where you were going, you didn't even have an answer. Since you came to see me, shouldn't you be visiting my house?" Du Xiran asked, "Where else do you want to go?"
"I just want to see you." Ye Nanning slowly grabbed the seat belt, "But I don't want to be a guest..."
Being a guest was troublesome, and she was not the kind of person who could please the elders. In the past, whenever she visited relatives during festivals, she obviously could not fit in, and those relatives did not pay much attention to her. To her, they were more like a group of familiar strangers.
She really didn't like that kind of occasion at all.
"Oh, okay then." Du Xiran turned around and parked the car in front of a shopping mall.
Ye Nanning got out of the car: "Where are we going?"
"I'll take you to dinner first."
Du Xiran took her to a local specialty restaurant, and they looked at each other in silence while waiting for the food to be served.
However, this time the silence was not as awkward as last time, but the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous.
Ye Nanning really wanted to ask Du Xiran what he meant by what he said last night, but she couldn't ask directly. When she was thinking about how to test him, Du Xiran spoke first: "You came to me, do you have something to tell me?"
Ye Nanning thought about it carefully for a long time before saying, "Nothing else, I just missed you, so I came to see you."
Du Xiran's lips curved slightly, he took a sip of tea, and asked again: "Is there really nothing else?"
Ye Nanning thought for a moment, thinking that now it was vacation time and work was done, there was really nothing for him to look for her, so what big deal could it be... Suddenly, her eyes widened, unsure if Mr. Du was hinting at her - to confess his love?
But I've already confessed it before.
Is there something else she missed?
Seeing her frowning and thinking about the problem, Du Xiran felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, he couldn't help wanting to laugh. He just thought it was very cute and said, "If you can't think of it, don't think about it for now. The food is here, let's eat first."
"Oh, okay." Ye Nanning ate for a while and found that Du Xiran only occasionally picked up two chopsticks and didn't seem to have a good appetite. She asked, "Are you not hungry?"
"I can't eat too much. My family has cooked my meal. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat when I go back, and my mother will be angry. Just eat, and I'll just watch you eat." Du Xiran held his chin with one hand, with the word "onlooker" clearly written on his face.
Ye Nanning began to get nervous. She was worried about making a fool of herself, and she was afraid that her sitting posture would not look good. She ate a few mouthfuls of food restlessly, and suddenly put down her chopsticks: "I'm full."
"Impossible, eat quickly." Du Xiran picked up some food for her, and soon a small mountain of food was piled up in the bowl.
At this time, the phone rang. It was her mother calling to urge her to go home for dinner.
After hanging up, Ye Nanning saw that she had no intention of leaving, so she asked, "Aren't you going back?"
"Let me wait until you finish eating, then I'll take you to the hotel."
"Hotel?!" Ye Nanning's ears turned red and she asked in a low voice, "Is that what I think it means?"
Du Xiran narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
Ye Nanning scratched her head and said, "Well, then... then what..."
"Where are you staying tonight if you don't go to the hotel?" Du Xiran interrupted her, feeling that she was thinking about something strange.
"Tonight?" Ye Nanning shook her head, "I'll go back tonight."
Du Xiran paused: "In such a hurry?"
"Well, I just wanted to see you. I have to go back tonight."
"Will you inherit the throne when you return?"
"No."
"Then why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm afraid... of disturbing you." Ye Nanning hesitated.
Du Xiran's expression softened, and he said softly, "Since we're here, let's play here for another day."
"Okay." She was originally just afraid that staying too long would cause trouble to Du Xiran. Since Du Xiran invited her, she would definitely stay. Ye Nanning smiled happily, "Mr. Du, you are so nice."
Du Xiran smiled back and glanced at her bag: "Then go buy some clothes to change this afternoon."
Ye Nanning bit her chopsticks, blinked, and another idea came to her mind - it would be nice if she could visit Mr. Du's home.
Before leaving, she thought it would be enough to just meet him once, so she didn't bring any luggage and didn't make any preparations to visit his home. But now, she can stay here for one more day, can she push for more?
"The hotel is too expensive, can I stay at your house?" she asked in a low voice.
Du Xiran's smile faded: "I asked you to go just now, but you didn't go."
Ye Nanning immediately lowered her head. When she heard the sound of her pulling out the chair, she looked up suddenly and saw her about to leave with her bag. She wanted to apologize, but she suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Ye Nanning looked at her hand in confusion: "?"
"What are you standing there for? Come to my house for dinner." Du Xiran urged.
Ye Nanning: “!!”
Ye Nanning was extremely nervous along the way. She rehearsed in her mind for a long time how to address Mr. Du's parents and how to behave in order to win their favor.
When she was standing at the door of her house, after Du Xiran rang the doorbell, alarm bells immediately rang in her mind, and she was ready at all times!
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman who looked very well-maintained. Her features were very similar to those of the Du Xiran sisters. As soon as she opened the door, she asked, "Why are you back so late... Hey? Who is this?"
Du Xiran smiled and pulled Ye Nanning's wrist, introducing: "This is the teacher of Durian Pizza. I don't know how to make it, so I asked her to teach me in person."
ha? ?
Ye Nanning looked at Du Xiran in confusion.
Du Xiran glanced sideways and secretly winked at her.
Ye Nanning almost had a cardiac arrest because of her wink.
Mother Du looked at Ye Nanning curiously: "Teacher?"
Ye Nanning was feeling elated, and then she heard Mother Du's voice. She immediately bowed and greeted her, but she didn't expect to slip up: "Hello, teacher!"
Du Xiran: “.”
Mother Du: “???”
