love at first sight
"Ms. Chen."
When the crack of helplessness and despair was about to bury her, the knock on the door and the clear female voice outside the door were like an axe that appeared out of nowhere, forcefully splitting the crack that was about to close, allowing the sunshine symbolizing new life to shine on her again.
"Miss Chen, are you in the room?"
Her sinking consciousness was picked up by a pair of big hands, and she woke up in an instant. The black magic on her body lost its effect, and her soul regained control of her body, but the two did not seem to merge very well. She still did not have the strength to stand up and open the door, and her vocal cords used for speaking seemed to have not yet remembered how to vibrate.
Don't go!
Chen Nanxing struggled to throw the phone in his hand out, making it sound like there were people in the room.
The phone was too close to the ground, so the sound it made was minimal.
“…”
Chen Nanxing blinked slowly, and his slightly furrowed brows expressed his master's mood.
The person outside was quiet for two minutes before the door was knocked again: "Ms. Chen, I entered the password to come in."
Still no reply.
Qin Enyu was very sure that Chen Nanxing was in the room. Before she came, she took a look at the surveillance cameras in the B&B and did not see Chen Nanxing anywhere.
Now she knocked on the door for so long, but there was no response from the room.
This is very wrong.
Not caring about anything else, Qin Enyu held the rabbit doll that Jiang Shiyu had asked her to bring to accompany Chen Nanxing to sleep instead of him in one hand, and entered the password with her right hand to unlock the door.
drip-drip-drip-
The subtle electronic sound was amplified and clear in Chen Nanxing's ears.
She was saved for the first time...
Realizing this, Chen Nanxing allowed his muscles to stop exerting force and lay on the ground with empty eyes like a soulless rag doll.
This was the scene Qin Enyu saw when he opened the door.
Perhaps it was because Chen Nanxing was born with a pitiful and pitiful face, or perhaps it was because women are born with universal love, but the first second Qin Enyu saw Chen Nanxing, her heart ached.
"Are you okay? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
Chen Nanxing looked like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch. Qin Enyu didn't dare to act rashly and half-knelt beside her to inquire about her situation.
With the intervention of others, Chen Nanxing felt that the barrier that prevented her from controlling her body was broken, and her body gradually regained its strength. She shook her head, indicating that she just needed to take medicine.
Qin Enyu didn't dare to act rashly seeing her like this. She observed for a few minutes, and after seeing that Chen Nanxing's complexion was indeed a little better than at the beginning, she put down the rabbit doll, bent down and carried Chen Nanxing to the bed, and then she poured out the dosage of medicine under Chen Nanxing's instructions.
After swallowing the medicine with Qin Enyu's hand, Chen Nanxing leaned against the headboard with a pale face, his bloodless lips opening and closing:
"Thank you for today, Miss Jiang. It's getting late, Miss Jiang, go back and get some rest."
Her childhood upbringing has made her develop a character that does not bother others. Even in this situation, she still chose to let Qin Enyu go back and rest first.
Qin Enyu understood. After several conversations, she had a basic understanding of Chen Nanxing's character. She knew that Chen Nanxing didn't want to trouble her, but she was not the heir of Jueqing Valley, so she could leave without worry when Chen Nanxing couldn't bear it anymore.
She looked again and again, and only after confirming that Chen Nanxing was not being stubborn did she stand up from the stool:
"Okay, then call me if you have anything. My phone is open tonight."
Chen Nanxing leaned against the head of the bed, nodded, and watched Qin Enyu leave.
But Qin Enyu came back, and Chen Nanxing looked at Qin Enyu with the cup in his hand in confusion, or to be more precise, he was looking at the rabbit doll in Qin Enyu's hand.
What is this for?
As if feeling something, Qin Enyu shook the doll:
"Yi Yi asked me to give this to you. She said she would let it sleep with you instead of herself."
As she spoke, Qin Enyu stuffed the doll into Chen Nanxing's arms, her upturned eyes hiding a lighthearted expression:
"Mission accomplished, I'm going back."
Chen Nanxing's brain short-circuited for a moment. She took the doll in a daze and instinctively thanked Qin Enyu. Qin Enyu turned around and smiled, then considerately helped Chen Nanxing close the door.
The door opened with a click, and she was the only one left in the room again. Chen Nanxing held the cup of water in both hands and lowered her head to take a sip. The tip of her nose faintly smelled the unique fragrance of a child, a smell similar to talcum powder.
She bent down and sniffed tentatively, confirming that the scent was coming from the rabbit doll. Chen Nanxing's heart softened, and her love for Jiang Shiyu rose to a new level.
It is said that smell is the carrier of memory. Now Chen Nanxing feels that this statement is absolutely correct. She originally thought that tonight would be another sleepless night, but when the lingering milky aroma lingered at the tip of her nose, the small figure of Jiang Shiyu would always appear in Chen Nanxing's memory.
This reality and illusion are intertwined with each other, as if Jiang Shiyu is really sleeping next to her.
She slept well, a rare occasion.
After waking up from a nap at noon, Chen Nanxing felt refreshed, and most of the anger that had been pent up in his heart last night had dissipated.
This was largely due to Qin Enyu and Jiang Shiyu. Chen Nanxing decided to express her gratitude. Although she had hurriedly sent a thank you last night, it was too perfunctory. After thinking about it, Chen Nanxing still felt that she needed to thank them in person.
However, before she could express her gratitude, she had one more thing to deal with.
Chen Nanxing took out her cell phone from under the quilt, found the number of the lawyer who drafted the divorce agreement for her and dialed it.
It was already noon, and office workers in City B had already been working for several hours. Less than three seconds after she dialed, the call was connected.
Chen Nanxing knew that the lawyer's time was precious, so after answering the phone, he didn't exchange any pleasantries and went straight to the point:
"Hello, it's me. He called me last night and said he doesn't want to discuss divorce with me, and I don't want to communicate with him anymore. Okay, if he still doesn't agree, you can let go of some of what you have. I'll leave it to the professional paparazzi, so don't worry. Okay, I'll have them buy trending searches. —My request?"
Chen Nanxing looked at the ring mark on his right ring finger and curled up his finger:
"I only have one request. I must get every penny less of the money Lin Shanglu owes me, and I want half of the money he spends on those women outside."
They had no children, so the biggest difficulty in their divorce was the division of property. Divorcing couples often struggled to divide their property, but Hengxing's business was so large that it wasn't easy for Chen Nanxing to get half of his assets.
She had already prepared for the battle. The two of them chatted for a few more words about the divorce property issue and hung up the phone only after they had roughly agreed on the follow-up plan.
Chen Nanxing is not a person who procrastinates. After discussing with his lawyer, he immediately sent the evidence of Lin Shanglu's affair with popular actress Su Qiao to the paparazzi via WeChat.
No one can resist the charm of making money. The paparazzi soon made a voice call and asked Chen Nanxing about his demands in an extremely flattering manner. After getting Chen Nanxing's reply, they started talking about the price.
What Chen Nanxing lacks the least now is money. The offer from the paparazzi is reasonable. Chen Nanxing doesn't mind making a little more money, so he agreed immediately.
She agreed readily, which made the paparazzi feel that he was at a disadvantage. He coughed and was about to make up a story to raise the price when Chen Nanxing hung up the phone.
After doing all this, Chen Nanxing sat quietly holding his phone and clearing his mind - how did they get to this point?
As soon as this question popped up, Chen Nanxing suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head to get rid of this introspective thought.
She is indeed too kind and soft-hearted.
The reason they were able to reach this point was that Lin Shanglu was unfaithful and it was Lin Shanglu who made it happen.
Thinking of this, Chen Nanxing patted his face and let out a long sigh. He didn't dare to sit there and think about it anymore. He got up, packed his toiletries and opened the bathroom door.
By the time she had cleaned herself up and had her meal, two hours had passed.
After a tour around the B&B yesterday, Chen Nanxing already understood the structure of the B&B. He also knew that if Qin Enyu didn't go out, she would spend time sitting in the small courtyard of the B&B.
So Chen Nanxing had a clear destination. He went straight to the courtyard after leaving the door. His journey was smooth, but he bumped into someone when he turned the corner into the courtyard.
"Excuse me, are you okay?"
A male voice full of apology sounded from above his head. Chen Nanxing touched his nose and raised his head, his eyes slightly red because of the pain:
"I'm fine."
The moment she looked up, the boy's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hands to introduce himself:
"Hello, my name is Ji Chuan, and I'm here to give flowers to Boss Jiang."
Chen Nanxing was as quiet as ever: "Hello, Chen Nanxing, the tenant here."
She only wanted to find Qin Enyu, and wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but Ji Chuan took a step left and blocked her way.
“???”
Ji Chuan's eyes lit up again and again.
Not only is she so good-looking, but her voice is also so nice?!
Goddess! This is his goddess!
In order to have a few more words with Chen Nanxing, Ji Chuan began to ask questions even though he knew the answer, trying to find something to talk about: "Are you here for tourism?"
Chen Nanxing smiled, as a sign of agreement.
You look better when you smile!
Ji Chuan's eyes seemed to be fixed on Chen Nanxing, and he couldn't move them away. After staring for a long time, a slight blush appeared on his wheat-colored face:
"Then you've come to the right place. Licheng has unique scenery all year round, but many places are only known to us locals. Outsiders can only visit some heavily commercialized attractions."
Chen Nanxing had just arrived the day before yesterday and had never stepped out of the door of the B&B. Not to mention the unique scenery, she had never even been to any heavily commercialized tourist attractions, so Chen Nanxing did not think she had the right to speak.
She smiled distantly and didn't say anything. Her eyes passed Ji Chuan and saw Qin Enyu who was looking at her with interest.
Ji Chuan fell in love with someone at first sight for the first time. He knew very well that some people would disappear once they were missed, so he secretly promoted himself to Chen Nanxing:
"I'm a blogger who helps farmers in Licheng. I usually shoot some works related to helping farmers and post them on short video platforms, so I often need to go to some places."
Although he felt that the boy in front of him was a little baffling, Chen Nanxing continued with his words out of politeness:
"The Internet is developing very fast now, and working in the self-media industry is a very good choice."
So you have a good impression of him?!
Ji Chuan was looking forward to it. He took a deep breath and, with the confidence rising at this moment, stated his main purpose:
"If it's convenient, can we exchange WeChat? When you're free, you can send me a WeChat message and I'll take you with me."
Ji Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Nanxing, his palms sweating with nervousness.
As they were all adults, Chen Nanxing was of course aware of Ji Chuan's purpose in adding her on WeChat. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she looked up, she was suddenly met with the boy's bright eyes and his hair blowing in the wind...
She hesitated for a moment.
Perhaps boys of the same type in the same age group give people a similar feeling. That moment of distraction made Chen Nanxing see some of the shadow of Lin Shanglu at the age of 20 in Ji Chuan.
That was when they loved each other the most.
Is it going to fail...
Ji Chuan's nervousness turned into frustration as time went on.
But he still didn't want to give up. After all, fate didn't come easy. Ji Chuan decided to be brave again. He asked nervously, but this time he obviously didn't have the confidence he had the first time:
"May I?"
Chen Nanxing looked at him for two seconds, then raised her eyes and met Qin Enyu's ambiguous eyes again. The next moment, she took out her cell phone from her coat pocket:
"Okay, sweep me."
Ji Chuan immediately laughed out loud, his wide grin revealing a row of snow-white teeth. The dimples on his cheeks became even deeper, and he quickly took out his phone to scan the QR code to add a friend.
After successfully adding the goddess on WeChat, Ji Chuan said goodbye to Chen Nanxing with a good mood from the inside out.
Chen Nanxing nodded as a response to Ji Chuan.
This little incident didn't bring her any benefits. Chen Nanxing turned off the phone, slipped it into her pocket, and walked straight to where Qin Enyu was sitting.
She herself didn't know whether she agreed to add WeChat in order to avoid embarrassing Ji Chuan or because of that inexplicable feeling.
