I'm not arguing with him.
The chill of late winter was about to dissipate, but the climate in Licheng was suitable. Except for some extreme weather conditions, it was generally warm in winter and cool in summer. Chen Nanxing opened the window and reached out to feel the temperature outside so as to decide what to wear today.
Maybe it was because of habit, influenced by Qin Enyu, if she had no plans to go out, she would usually wander around the B&B in her pajamas, but not today, because she had plans to go out.
It has been three days since she was scratched by the cat. During these three days, Chen Nanxing did not go out and was always chatting with the principal of the high school in Suijiang. If she had not had to get the second rabies vaccine today, she would have planned to stay in the B&B for another day.
After changing his clothes, Chen Nanxing was about to go out when he suddenly caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. He was pale and thin, looking sick. Chen Nanxing stepped back and took out the cosmetics he had bought when he and Qin Enyu went shopping together before the New Year.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Nanxing, holding soy milk in one hand and car keys in the other, pushed open the door of the B&B and was caught off guard by the sight of an unexpected person at the door.
"Xiao Ji?"
Chen Nanxing bit off half of the fried dough stick in her mouth and was a little surprised by Ji Chuan's sudden appearance. Ever since she revealed her married status at the beach last time, Ji Chuan disappeared from her sight and did not send her a single message.
Chen Nanxing thought Ji Chuan probably didn't want to see her again, but unexpectedly, they bumped into each other again when they went out today.
What is he here for?
Chen Nanxing was nervous, but she quickly remembered that Ji Chuan also had a job delivering flowers to B&Bs:
"Are you here to give me flowers? You came a little too early today. Zhixu should not be awake yet."
This doesn't look like a delivery of flowers. Chen Nanxing leaned over to look behind Ji Chuan, then glanced at the pedals in front of Ji Chuan's electric scooter. He didn't see a single flower, so it couldn't be a delivery of flowers.
Ji Chuan didn't say anything either, revealing traces of sadness from head to toe. Chen Nanxing couldn't understand Ji Chuan. To avoid embarrassment for both parties, she smiled and prepared to go around Ji Chuan to drive. At this time, Ji Chuan spoke again:
"My mother will come to give flowers to Boss Jiang today."
Does that mean he's not here to give flowers?
Chen Nanxing couldn't leave any more. Her right eyelid kept twitching as she heard the second half of Ji Chuan's sentence:
"I came here specifically to wait for you."
His eyes were dull and his curly hair, which used to be full of youthful vitality, hung down today, making him look like a puppy drenched in rain.
Chen Nanxing's lips moved, but before he could think of what to say, Ji Chuan suppressed his sadness and patted the back seat of the electric scooter:
"The doctor said last time that you need to get your second rabies shot today. I'll go with you."
Chen Nanxing turned the car key on his index finger:
"Thank you, Xiao Ji, but Zhi Xu has already lent me the car, so I can go by myself."
The car belongs to Qin Enyu, and Chen Nanxing would borrow her car when he didn't want to walk.
Ji Chuan has a car himself, but he must have his own reasons for choosing to ride an electric scooter today:
"It's not the Lantern Festival yet, and the traffic is terrible. Electric bikes are the most convenient at this time."
“…”It seems so.
Chen Nanxing hesitated.
Ji Chuan turned around on his electric scooter and said, "Get in. I'll take you there. We'll have to queue up in a long line at the hospital."
The last time the long queue of cars blocked the hospital entrance was still fresh in Chen Nanxing's mind. It took him only 3 seconds to change his mind:
"Okay, wait for me."
She put the car keys back into her palm and turned back into the B&B. When she came out, there was a scarf around her neck.
"I'm fine, let's go."
Ji Chuan rode the bike very steadily. Chen Nanxing sat in the back seat and ate breakfast with a mouthful of soy milk and a mouthful of fried dough sticks. She originally planned to take it to the hospital and eat it while waiting in line.
"Give me the trash."
Ji Chuan seemed to have a pair of eyes on the back of his head. As soon as Chen Nanxing finished breakfast, Ji Chuan parked the car in a safe parking area on the side of the road. There was a trash can three hundred meters behind them.
How could Chen Nanxing let Ji Chuan throw away the trash for her? She turned around and tried to throw away the trash in her hand. Ji Chuan was also a man of action. He lowered his eyes and took the trash in Chen Nanxing's hand in his own. Chen Nanxing was embarrassed and anxious:
"Xiao Ji, no need, I can go by myself."
Ji Chuan ignored what she said and took out a pack of wet wipes from his sweatshirt pocket. He silently took out one and wanted to wipe Chen Nanxing's hands.
Are all young people nowadays so unrestrained?
Chen Nanxing was horrified. She took a step back and put her hands behind her back as if to cover up her mistake. Ji Chuan seemed to have just woken up from a dream and continued to hand over the tissue without moving.
Their eyes met, and Chen Nanxing embarrassedly took the wet wipes and quickly wiped his hands. The wet wipes were placed in the pocket of his sweatshirt and were warmed by Ji Chuan's body temperature. Chen Nanxing's hands were so burned that he lost all feeling.
Ji Chuan did the same thing and took the wet tissue that Chen Nanxing had used to wipe his hands and threw it away together. Chen Nanxing didn't dare to say anything and just let him do it.
"Are you and him arguing?"
Along the way, Ji Chuan felt more and more aggrieved. He hated Chen Nanxing's husband for marrying her but not treating her well. It was Chinese New Year, a time for the family to reunite, but he left Chen Nanxing alone to celebrate the New Year, and he also ignored her at other times.
During these three days, he only spent half a night sad about Chen Nanxing's married status, and the rest of the time he was thinking about Chen Nanxing's husband who was only in name. He deliberately created encounters almost every day, and most of the time he saw Chen Nanxing alone, and occasionally there would be Boss Jiang and her daughter, but he never saw Chen Nanxing's husband once.
It would be fine on normal days, but now it’s the Spring Festival, it’s impossible for me to have no time, so I don’t care at all!
So why does that man have the right!
Jealousy made Ji Chuan completely unrecognizable. He got hot-headed and asked questions to spy on what was going on between Chen Nanxing and that man.
"It wasn't a quarrel."
The cold wind blew in, seeping into her clothes through every gap. Chen Nanxing raised her hand to hold down her scarf that was fluttering backwards. Her voice was also blown away by the wind, and it sounded a little vague when it reached Ji Chuan's ears:
"We're going through divorce proceedings."
What a pleasant surprise! Ji Chuan's mind seemed to be filled with fireworks. He was stunned for a full minute until the shrill horn of the car behind him sounded, and he finally recovered from the dizziness of surprise:
"Divorce? You and him are getting a divorce?!"
Her long, smooth hair fluttered in the wind. Chen Nanxing was hit several times. She half-closed her eyes and shrank back behind Ji Chuan.
"Um."
Divorce is good, divorce is wonderful.
It was daybreak, the rain stopped, and little Ji's dead love came back to life. The sea breeze was no longer salty, and Ji Chuan took a deep breath of air.
Mm, not bad, really sweet!
As expected, the hospital was crowded with people, and it was almost noon when Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan returned to the B&B from the hospital.
Ji Chuan returned to the state he was in three days ago, as hot as a burning fire. He chattered with Chen Nanxing all the way, and he didn't need Chen Nanxing to respond to him. He talked vividly by himself.
Arriving at the destination, Ji Chuan put his foot on the ground and stopped the car with the foot brake. With sparkling eyes, he turned his head to look at Chen Nanxing behind him:
"Would you like to go to the veterinary clinic to see the cat together in a few days?"
Chen Nanxing chuckled and nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
Ji Chuan's dimples on his cheeks also showed happily: "It's a deal then! I'll pick you up when the time comes!"
"Um."
Chen Nanxing took off the helmet and returned it to Ji Chuan. Thinking of how he had been waiting for her outside the door for a long time this morning, she said:
"Next time, you don't have to wait for me in advance. We can just schedule a time on WeChat."
Ji Chuan automatically took this as a sign of concern. He patted his chest and grinned even wider: "It's okay! I'm not cold."
“…” Lively and silly.
Chen Nanxing lowered his head and smiled silently.
The happy scene between the two was broken by the intervention of a woman.
"Ms. Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The woman wore a hat and a mask to cover her face tightly. She was tall with long, straight black hair draped behind her head. If it weren't for the fact that her dressing style was very different from Chen Nanxing's, it would have looked like Chen Nanxing was copied and pasted.
Suddenly, a woman with a figure and temperament very similar to his own appeared. Chen Nanxing remained calm, but Ji Chuan took a step and a half to the side and stood in front of Chen Nanxing, standing between the two in a semi-protective posture.
The woman looked up at him, then ignored him the next second, focusing her attention on Chen Nanxing. After looking around, she quickly introduced herself and explained her purpose:
"We've met before, Miss Chen. I'm Su Qiao. I came here today because I have something I want to talk to you about."
The image of Su Qiao holding the pregnancy report in Yongjing Mansion with such an arrogant look on her face was still lingering in Chen Nanxing's mind. How could Chen Nanxing not recognize Su Qiao? She held the bag strap tightly and didn't even look at Su Qiao.
Ji Chuan's pupils dilated and he looked at the woman in front of him in shock.
Is this Su Qiao? Is this the celebrity Su Qiao?
He turned his head to look at Chen Nanxing. It seemed that Chen Nanxing knew Su Qiao and there was some grudge between them. This was manifested in the fact that Chen Nanxing, who was usually good-tempered to everyone, acted very cold when he saw Su Qiao.
"I'm sorry, I have nothing to say to you."
Chen Nanxing asked herself if she had the taste for a peaceful chat with her husband's pregnant lover. She politely declined and walked straight past Su Qiao towards the B&B.
Ji Chuan seemed to have guessed something from the known information and her current conversation. He glanced at the fully armed Su Qiao inquiringly. When he saw Chen Nanxing leaving through the corner of his eye, he immediately followed him.
Su Qiao was determined not to give up until he achieved his goal. He quickly ran a few steps and blocked Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan.
"Ms. Chen, I came all the way from City B just to talk to you."
Very annoying, just as annoying as Lin Shanglu.
Judging from the situation, Su Qiao was not going to leave until he finished talking today. Chen Nanxing's gentle face gradually showed a trace of annoyance.
"Go ahead."
She and Ji Chuan stood side by side, and there was no curiosity about what Su Qiao was going to say on her face, only impatience to deal with the trouble.
People always try to get more than they deserve. After intercepting Chen Nanxing, Su Qiao glanced at Ji Chuan and silently hinted to Chen Nanxing to send Ji Chuan away.
