067
After Xing Chen went to school, Nan Ke called Quan Xiu to arrange a time to meet.
Unexpectedly, Quan Xiu made an excuse to decline, saying that he was a little busy these two days.
Nan Ke was stunned for a moment. When Quan Xiu heard that she didn't say anything, he seemed a little anxious and asked her hesitantly if she was okay.
Nan Ke smiled and asked him, "Do you also know what happened when I was recording the show?"
This is simply a question you ask knowingly.
When Nan Ke met Quan Xiu and Yan Xuan near the downstairs of his house, he knew why they came.
"Well, I heard about it, but... I don't know exactly what happened or whether you're seriously injured."
Is that why you came to me? You want to personally ascertain my situation?
Nan Ke thought about it over and over in his mind but didn't ask.
"I'm not hurt."
Quan Xiu didn't seem to want to mention his visit, and Nan Ke didn't want to talk to him about it on the phone.
"It was just a minor accident. I'm not hurt." Nan Ke repeated that he was fine, worried that Quan Xiu wouldn't believe him.
Quan Xiu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Nan Ke was silent for two seconds, realizing that there was nothing more to say.
"Then... contact me when you have time. Let's meet up. I'll treat you to a meal."
Quan Xiu didn't say anything. Nan Ke thought that this relationship might end here. Although she felt a little regretful, there was nothing she could do about it.
She said, "That's it. I'm going to hang up first. You're busy."
"etc!"
Quan Xiu's voice sounded a little out of control.
Nan Ke was frightened, paused, and asked him gently: "What's wrong?"
"Are you free this afternoon? I...I want to see you."
Nan Ke smiled, and without asking why he suddenly had time to see her, she said softly, "Okay."
Ask him: "What time is it?"
"Four o'clock in the afternoon, at Qiao Mai's shop, is that okay?"
"Can."
In fact, Nan Ke’s time in the afternoon was not certain, but she could coordinate all other things for Quan Xiu.
Perhaps this is their ending, the last time they see each other, and she is willing to accept it.
After meeting Su Shuo, Su Shuo asked her to have dinner with him, but she said she couldn't because she had another appointment.
"Date?" Su Shuo raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "With Xing Chen?"
"No." Nan Ke blinked, "Quan Xiu."
Su Shuo had a speechless expression on his face: "Okay."
"You don't have to use that expression or tone. This might be the last time we see each other."
"Why?" Su Shuo suddenly became interested.
Nan Ke thought for a moment, and thinking that he could talk to her about anything, he told her about what happened when he met Quan Xiu and Yan Xuan when he was with Xing Chen.
"It's going to end soon anyway, so I won't argue with you. It's true that before, I might... well, I never told him I had a boyfriend. If Yan Xuan saw it, there's no way she wouldn't tell him. If we meet today, we might end up parting on bad terms."
Su Shuo had an indescribable expression on her face again, but since the matter was almost coming to an end, she didn't say anything unpleasant.
"You know, I've always supported you. Even though Xing Chen is a hardworking guy and doesn't complain, I've always supported you and have always firmly believed that you two are not suitable. But I've also been telling you that even if you like someone else, it can't be that kid from the Quan family. You take him too seriously. If you're just attracted to someone's looks and figure, and want to try something new, I support you."
Su Shuo stood up and suddenly said he wanted to drink some wine.
Nan Ke didn't stop her and sighed softly.
Su Shuo patted her arm and said, "Sister, it's okay. Cheer up. It's okay to part ways on bad terms. It's just the same old path our parents...elders have taken."
Nan Ke glanced at her speechlessly: "Thank you, my mood has really improved a lot."
Su Shuo meant that since Yang Ruixi and his wife didn't get along with Quan Xiu's family anyway, it didn't matter to them, but Nan Ke was not comforted.
The time she spent happily with Quan Xiu seemed like it was stolen from her.
If she had told Quan Xiu from the beginning that she had a boyfriend, they wouldn't have been chatting and meeting each other all the time.
From the day the exhibition opens, the two of them become strangers.
Is it better to have something and then lose it, or never have it in the first place?
Nan Ke couldn't explain it clearly.
But if she had the chance to do it again, she might still not tell Quan Xiu that she had a boyfriend.
Nan Ke was still thinking about what Su Shuo said while driving.
"You know he likes you, right?"
Of course she knows.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Nan Ke has received that kind of look countless times since he was a child.
She had seen it many times, with warmth and an uneasy feeling of wanting to get closer.
The problem is, she's only willing to give back on a few occasions. Quan Xiu is a special case.
Isn't this a waste of other people's feelings? It's immoral.
Nan Ke thought, so it’s a good thing to be able to stop here.
Before many things happen.
-
The first thing Mo Ge said after seeing Xing Chen was to ask if Sister Nan Ke was okay.
After receiving a positive answer, he instantly looked much more relaxed.
Xing Chen felt a little comforted. At least it seemed that Mo Ge really cared about Nan Ke and it was not just about publishing her work.
Wang Xiaoyun also heard some gossip and suggested that Xing Chen could go home earlier to be with his girlfriend so that she could help him.
Xing Chen originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Nan Ke wanted to eat dumplings, so he might as well take this opportunity to go back and make them for her.
I might be very busy in the next period of time and won’t have time to do it, so I might as well accept Wang Xiaoyun’s kindness.
It started raining in the afternoon. It was a drizzle at first and I thought it would stop, but it got heavier and heavier.
Xing Chen went home in the rain to buy groceries. Having a car is indeed much more convenient.
Of course Nan Ke was not at home at this time. Xing Chen neither asked her when she would be back nor told her that he was home.
He began to make the dumpling filling. His hands kept moving, but his mind kept wandering to places it shouldn't be.
That person's name is Quan Xiu.
After Xing Chen remembered who he was, he immediately searched for his identity and everything related to him.
In theory, Quan Xiu's family and Nan Ke's family are a good match.
They are all good-looking children who are engaged in art. They have similar family backgrounds and the same noble growth trajectories. It is easy to imagine that they must have a lot of common topics to talk about.
Compared to him, I immediately feel dwarfed.
Comparing myself with him would be an exaggeration of my status; they are not from the same world at all.
Even though he had been pestering Nan Ke and not letting her leave in the past few years, he had to admit that he had never truly entered Nan Ke's world.
Xing Chen has always been very clear about this, so he has been in a state of panic all day long. Now, the sword hanging over his head seems to be about to fall.
He shouldn't have thought that, but he couldn't help it.
Xing Chen was secretly grateful for something he shouldn't be grateful for.
Thank you Nan Ke has a bad relationship with his parents.
Otherwise, regardless of whether Nan Ke and Quan Xiu would have waited until today... I might not even have the chance to meet her.
His life|light.
Shining so easily on another person.
Nan Ke and Quan Xiu knew each other a long time ago, but because of their family and parents' relationship, they could not avoid meeting each other.
But we will definitely meet again when the exhibition opens.
Xing Chen still remembers that after seeing the report on the Internet, he wanted to comfort Nan Ke.
Because Quan Xiu is the child of her parents' friend, he represents the past that she is unwilling to look back on and does not want to admit.
Xing Chen really didn't expect Nan Ke to treat him——
Xing Chen closed his eyes, not daring to think any further.
But I couldn't control my wandering thoughts at all.
The report at the time said that there was something wrong with Quan Xiu's eyes and he could hardly see anything.
Thinking about the last time I saw him, it seemed to be true. Even if I can't see him, does Nan Ke still like him?
Xing Chen shouldn't be so petty and judge others by himself, but he just couldn't help it.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he became blind one day, would Nan Ke not mind and still be willing to keep him by her side.
Nan Ke probably wouldn't mind, she hates useless people.
...But don’t you hate Quan Xiu?
The more Xing Chen thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
He knew in his heart that he shouldn't compare, but he couldn't help but do so.
Does she really like him?
Between the two of us, would she choose him?
If I keep pretending that I don't know this person or this matter, can this person basically be regarded as non-existent?
Xing Chen sighed heavily and looked down on himself.
Cheer up, Xing Chen.
He said to himself, that person had only come to see Nan Ke twice, they might have just known each other and chatted, and had similar interests, maybe nothing had happened apart from that, how could you lose without a fight?
Yes, just pretend nothing happened.
Xing Chen lowered his head and concentrated on his work.
In addition to dumplings, he also made wontons. After he finished everything, he found that the rain outside had stopped.
I sorted them into categories and put them in the refrigerator. I looked at the time and it was still early.
Xing Chen thought about it and felt that Nan Ke would not have much work outside in the short term, so he would either stay at home or go to the studio.
I have to keep some spare food in the studio as well. When Nan Ke is too focused on painting, he will forget about eating.
Don't let her feel hungry and unable to find food.
Xing Chen packed some and took them out, then drove to Nan Ke's studio.
He knew the entrance code there, and Nan Ke never restricted him from entering his studio.
Xing Chen knew that some artists paid great attention to boundaries. He initially thought that Nan Ke was not that kind of artist, but later found that Nan Ke did not exclude him from his own world.
He was excited about this for a long time.
Nan Ke’s studio allows him to go wherever he wants. Does this mean that they are very close?
After all, as far as he knew, even Su Shuo didn't know the entrance password to Nan Ke's studio, but he knew it.
…
At this point, Xing Chen couldn't help but feel complacent when thinking about such details. He thought that he seemed to be a bit useless.
As soon as he entered the door, Xing Chen tidied the refrigerator first, threw away a lot of expired food, and then put the things he bought and brought with him into the refrigerator one by one.
