053
Nan Ke sat there with red eyes for a long time, looking at Xing Chen.
"Let's go back."
Xing Chen wanted to ask her if it was okay to leave like this and whether he should tell her parents, but seeing that Nan Ke had no intention of doing so, he closed his mouth tightly.
They took a taxi back.
This villa area is quite far from where they live and the journey is long.
Seeing Nan Ke's condition, Xing Chen instinctively felt that he should say something, but he didn't dare to speak casually.
As hesitating, Nan Ke turned his head to the other side, leaned against the car window and closed his eyes.
Xing Chen struggled internally, but finally raised his hand and gently placed her head on his shoulder.
As soon as I moved my hand away, I saw Nan Ke's eyes as bright as stars.
Xing Chen's breathing stagnated, and he stammered, "This... this will make me feel more comfortable."
If you think about it carefully, it hasn't been that long since the confession failed.
Xing Chen was so nervous that he almost died.
Will my behavior of getting so close to Nan Ke make her feel disgusted?
Only he himself knew that seeing Nan Ke so sad felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.
At least when he made up his mind, he really just wanted to make her feel more comfortable.
Perhaps because he was physically and mentally exhausted, Nan Ke didn't argue with him too much.
She tapped her chin lightly: "Then I won't be polite."
Then she leaned her head on Xing Chen's shoulder and closed her eyes again.
Xing Chen's world became quiet.
I couldn't help but breathe more softly, for fear of disturbing her.
Although the journey was not short, at this moment, Xing Chen sincerely hoped that the return journey could be longer. Without being greedy, he hoped that twice as long would be fine.
I don’t know if it was the result of a successful wish or just a coincidence.
Although the distance has not become longer, the traffic jam time has increased.
On a section of the road that must be passed, all vehicles are unable to pass.
The driver stopped and ran to the front to see what was going on.
He came back and said that there was a car accident ahead.
Xing Chen doesn't want innocent people to get hurt because of his wish, so he asks if it's serious.
"Everyone is fine, but the car is in a serious condition, and no one is willing to give way."
Xing Chen felt relieved and turned to look at Nan Ke, who was still resting and had no interest in this.
After a while, the traffic police appeared to coordinate and made way for them.
Their car moved forward little by little, but they didn't expect that after just a few steps, they were stuck in traffic again.
Xing Chen noticed that Nan Ke was frowning slightly.
It would be fine if the car couldn't move and had to stop there, but if there is a traffic jam like this, with the car starting and stopping all the time, it will be very uncomfortable for the passengers over time.
"Another car accident?"
Xing Chen felt a little guilty, wondering if this was caused by his own wish.
The driver was amused: "It's a holiday, so there are a lot of people, that's normal."
"Festival?"
"Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you know?"
Xing Chen was stunned and thought about it. Maybe, he really forgot.
When Nan Ke ignored him, he had no idea about the passage of time.
Only the most basic human perception of seasonal changes remains.
Xing Chen said "Oh": "I forgot."
He cautiously glanced at Nan Ke beside him out of the corner of his eye.
I thought, no wonder.
No wonder she went home to be with her parents today.
But it looks like the ending is not happy.
It's okay.
Even if they are no longer your family, at least you still have me, and I will never betray you.
Nan Ke seemed to be really asleep, unaware of everything around him.
Xing Chen bravely reached out his hand tentatively to help her gently move the hair that was blocking her forehead behind her ears.
Then he looked ahead with satisfaction and smiled silently.
Unfortunately, no matter how long the journey is, it will eventually come to an end.
Back to the familiar environment, I watched Nan Ke perform the familiar series of actions as soon as he entered the door.
I took off my coat, hung it up, bent down to change my shoes, washed my hands, changed my clothes, simply tied my hair with a hairpin, and curled up on the sofa.
…Xing Chen was even more nervous than when he was outside.
He saw the note he had left on the refrigerator, pretended to be casual and gently peeled it off, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.
Nan Ke didn't notice.
She turned on the TV.
I randomly switched to a few channels and they were all broadcasting the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
Nan Ke picked one at random, raised his chin and looked in Xing Chen's direction, and asked him, "Have you eaten?"
Without waiting for Xing Chen to answer, she immediately said, "I'm hungry."
Xing Chen immediately became active: "I haven't eaten yet. I'll make it now and it will be ready soon."
"Don't be busy." Nan Ke took out his phone, "Order takeout."
Xing Chen wasn't sure whether Nan Ke didn't want him to be busy or didn't want to eat what he cooked.
Some people have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.
This is not a good thing, maybe Nan Ke doesn’t think that way.
Xing Chen agreed to her request.
And he found the right time to sit next to Nan Ke.
Nan Ke turned around and asked him, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything."
"Anything."
Xing Chen was stunned for a moment.
Nan Ke smiled and said, "I can guess what you're going to say before you even open your mouth."
Xing Chen wasn't sure if he had made Nan Ke unhappy again, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.
Nan Ke slumped down on the sofa and said, "Then I'll order what I want to eat?"
"Um."
Xing Chen nodded at her.
"good."
Nan Ke glanced at him with a smile on her face.
"Dumb and dumb."
She looked at the various foods carefully, not knowing what she ordered, but when it was over, she breathed a sigh of relief and put her phone aside.
Looking at Xing Chen, Xing Chen hadn't even watched the show on TV from beginning to end.
His eyes were fixed on Nan Ke.
Nan Ke seemed uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she stood up, hugged a pillow, and stared at Xing Chen.
Finally, he curled his lips and said, "You look so submissive. You're completely different from the person who was in a cold war with me a while ago. Were you possessed? Are you normal now?"
Xing Chen lowered his eyes and blinked, afraid that tears would fall.
Then Nan Ke sighed softly, "I thought you didn't want to see me anymore."
"How come?"
Xing Chen immediately looked up: "I've never thought of it that way."
Nan Ke was not to be outdone: "Then you're going to have a cold war with me?"
“That wasn’t the Cold War.”
And Xing Chen thought that Nan Ke didn't want to see him again.
During this period, only he himself knew how much suffering and pain he was in. He was almost like a walking corpse.
"I... I thought you didn't want to see me, and hoped I wouldn't disturb your life anymore..."
If there is only a small opening in the floodgates of emotion, the grievances will be overwhelming.
"You never replied to the messages I sent you... I thought you hated me."
Nan Ke said: "That's because I'm angry."
She said, “Because you were mad at me.”
Xing Chen opened his mouth and found that he was not a selfless person. No matter how he told himself to be nice to Nan Ke, he still had his own emotions and would hurt Nan Ke.
He had no way of refutation.
Whether it is the sponsor and the sponsored, or the person who likes the other and the person who is liked, he should not do this.
From every angle, he had no right to be angry with Nan Ke, but he did it anyway.
"sorry."
Xing Chen apologized sincerely and lowered his head.
"You are right to ignore me. That's what I should bear. It's not your fault that you don't like me."
Do you want to try again?
Xing Chen's emotions kept rising up, and he wanted to say something that Nan Ke definitely wouldn't want to hear.
As a swan entangled by a toad, what is the difference between me and those who always gather downstairs of them?
Xing Chen always had a high opinion of himself.
He thought that those people's words of love were just lip service.
But I am different, not like any of them.
He will truly accompany Nan Ke for the rest of his life, take care of her in every possible way, and always use her emotions as the guiding principle for his actions.
But after making sure that Nan Ke didn't like him, he actually became angry with Nan Ke.
He was hiding from her and unwilling to communicate with her to solve the problem. He only knew how to escape. He was a shameful deserter.
Xing Chen discovered that he was not as tall as he had imagined.
Especially since Nan Ke didn't like him, just like she didn't like everyone else.
Then all the behavioral values that he has not yet had the opportunity to implement are useless.
Nan Ke closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples in frustration.
Xing Chen thought, what should I say?
What does she want me to say at this time?
He actually knew.
He thought a lot during this time.
Nan Ke certainly doesn't want a man who covets her but in whom she has no interest to live in her house forever.
She was waiting for him to mention that they would not have any disputes in the future.
After graduating from high school and getting into college, Xing Chen should immediately find an opportunity to move out of here, and they should be clear on each other and never see each other again.
Xing Chen kept a record of every expense Nan Ke had spent on him, and he always remembered to return the money to Nan Ke with interest, but he probably didn't want it.
He knew clearly what he should say and what Nan Ke wanted to hear.
But he didn't want to say it.
What's even clearer than this is that Xing Chen knows that once he says these words, Nan Ke will definitely agree, and then there will really be no possibility for them.
Fortunately, Nan Ke didn't keep waiting.
She opened her eyes.
Just as I was about to speak, the phone rang.
When I picked up the phone, the polite attitude of the other party proved that I was not a very familiar person.
Xing Chen has been observing her in silence.
Nan Ke said, "Oh, okay. Then you wait a moment." After saying that, he stood up and seemed to be planning to go out.
Xing Chen's heart tightened and he asked her, "What's wrong?"
"The delivery man said both elevators were out of order and asked me to go downstairs to get it." His mood, which was already not very high, became visibly more depressed.
But Xing Chen was obviously relieved: "I'll go."
Nan Ke thought about it and knew that Xing Chen would not agree to let her go, so she gave up.
Fortunately, they lived on the tenth floor, which was not low but not too high either.
Considering Xing Chen's physical condition, it was not that difficult.
When Xing Chen came back with sweat all over his head, he opened the door, put down the food in his hand, turned around and saw what Nan Ke was looking at.
He didn't think about anything else at first, and his pupils shrank slightly as he approached.
It was the note he crumpled up and threw into the trash can.
