Chapter 71 Chapter 071 Possessiveness, Humanity...
The original charming atmosphere spread, Yan Nanxing's warm breath loomed in front of him, and his breathing seemed to be urged. It took Nan Fei a long time to regain a little composure.
"Ah, you really do like it." Yan Nanxing rested one hand on the seat pillow, slightly touching the side of his face, giving him time to digest it. "Even though I know you don't care about this, I can't resist the instinctive emotion."
Possessiveness is an inherent bad quality of human beings.
Even someone as rational as Nan Fei couldn't say that he was calm.
During the interval of eye contact, Yan Nanxing retracted his bad taste and reached out to rub the other person's head. The sudden warmth seemed more intimate, but it did effectively ease the atmosphere that was almost out of control.
The two of them were flirting with each other for a while, and the car slowly stopped. Wan Quan said, "Excuse me, we've arrived at our destination. Why don't you two consider going back first before continuing your flirting?"
The sudden interruption left everyone feeling awkward and bewildered, but Yan Nanxing remained calm and continued as if nothing had happened: "Thank you for your hard work. How are you going back?"
This is Yan Nanxing's car. If there is no schedule tomorrow, it would be inconvenient for Wanquan to drive away.
"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back." Wan Quan got out of the car and saw Nan Fei lowering her head in embarrassment. He kindly said, "Nan Xing is right. There are some things I should get used to when celebrities are in love, so Mr. Nan, don't feel embarrassed."
Nan Fei: ...
Didn’t that mean you heard everything?
Seeing the well-dressed gentleman, and how he joked with Yan Nanxing, Nan Fei left the two of them, but turned back after a while and asked, "How do I get to your house..."
"Oh, look at what a mess this has caused." Yan Nanxing took a step forward and naturally put his arm around Nan Fei's shoulders. "Then we'll be leaving first. You should go back and rest early."
It's almost nine o'clock in the evening.
Yan Nanxing lived in a residential complex in the city center, enjoying a prime location. Surrounded by commercial streets, it was convenient for both accessing various entertainment venues and commuting. Among the clustered apartment buildings, he had his eye on the one with the best orientation and layout.
Nan Fei took the underground elevator upstairs and moved very quietly when coming out. This was the time when most people would go out for entertainment and leisure in the evening. Before entering the community, he saw the bustling crowd and was afraid of being seen.
Yan Nanxing turned around and saw people peeking around, so he chuckled and explained, "Don't worry, there are two households per floor here, and I'm the only resident on my floor, so you can relax.
How come he is the only resident of a house in such a great location?
As soon as a hint of doubt appeared on Nan Fei's face, Yan Nanxing guessed what he was thinking: "Maybe it's because I live on the eighteenth floor."
Nan Fei: "...You dare to buy this?"
"Why wouldn't I be afraid to buy this? Other houses in the same area are much more expensive. I'd save as much as I can. I think this is a steal."
Nan Fei thought he was joking until she saw Yan Nanxing actually press the button for the 18th floor, and she was instantly filled with awe.
"But if you have the same idea, there should be many people like you." Nan Fei did not ask about the specific price. Although their usual income was not small, he had low material desires. No matter how good the price was, it might seem a little "not worth it" to him.
"Yeah, that's right, so I was lying to you." Yan Nanxing then added slowly, "The main thing is, I also bought another unit on the same floor."
Nan Fei widened her eyes.
Even if he didn't say anything, he knew he would probably complain, "What a waste!" Yan Nanxing smiled and said, "Because I really need my own space, so I don't like to socialize with my neighbors. This kind of unnecessary socializing is a hassle for me."
Nan Fei made some swaps in his mind, so for Yan Nanxing, the combined price of the two units was still a good deal compared to his daily needs. It was so cheap.
A thought came to his mind. Yan Nanxing opened the door and turned on the light in the hallway. When he turned around, he saw Nan Fei looking thoughtful. His brain inexplicably synchronized, and he urgently interrupted: "You don't want to buy it from me, do you?"
"You can stay with me anytime you want. There's no need for you to pay for my needs." After pulling the person in and closing the door, Yan Nanxing sighed slowly, "Besides, I won't sell it either."
Nan Fei pursed her lips and said, "If it's left unused like this, the expenses incurred will be quite high."
"But I can just move across from you." The more Nan Fei spoke, the more she felt that her idea was a good one. "That way, when I quarrel with you, I'll have a convenient place to stay by myself."
Yan Nanxing laughed when he heard that.
Do you still want to quarrel with him and run away from home?
Although I don’t know how his train of thought jumped to the step of “living together” after overcoming various factors, the worse situation at the moment is that we have to cut off this not-so-good trend.
Yan Nanxing had an expression that said, "So you really think so," and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. After pondering for a moment, he gave a seemingly more reasonable answer: "Well, actually, there's another reason for buying the house across the street. I converted my second bedroom into a workshop, and it wouldn't be convenient if friends came to stay overnight. So, I really can't sell it to anyone."
Nan Fei remained unmoved: "If you sell it to me, it will still function as before."
Yan Nanxing: "...I don't own the property across the street. It's nominally my cousin's house, and he paid for it."
"You know this kind of location, even if I think it's a good deal, I can't afford to buy two units at once."
That's too wasteful.
Nan Fei:.
Take a break.
Although I have never even met Yan Nanxing's cousin, it does sound inconvenient.
When talking about this, Yan Nanxing's face turned a little strange. He seemed to remember something and muttered, "However, he rarely lives here... Oh, I haven't told you about my cousin yet. He is studying for a doctorate at Huahai University and lives in the institute most of the time. So I only have partial use rights to the house across the street."
Nan Fei stopped arguing, came in obediently, changed his shoes, and followed Yan Nanxing to sit in the living room.
Considering that it was too late, Yan Nanxing poured two cups of calming tea and brought them over: "This one is a bit bitter, and the other one is lighter. You can choose."
Nan Fei chose the more bitter one and took a sip. The fragrant tea grass aroma lingered at the tip of her nose. Although it was a little bitter at first, it dissipated very quickly, and there was even a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. If Yan Nanxing hadn't reminded her, the bitterness would not even be noticeable.
After two sips of tea, his mood calmed down a lot. The ups and downs of the day made Nan Fei a little tired, so he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
"How much younger is your cousin than you?" Nan Fei's thoughts began to wander in a chaotic manner. Just then, she thought of this and opened her eyes to look at Yan Nanxing again. "He's already a doctoral student? Are you really 28?"
"Are you realizing it now? Yes, I lied to you before. Actually, I'm 38 years old. Do you believe it?" Yan Nanxing grinned.
Nan Fei: "I don't believe it. I just remembered that your age was found out by the production team through back-checking."
"Why are you asking?" Yan Nanxing sighed. "My tea should only have a calming effect, without any side effects that could slow down your reaction time, right?"
"My cousin. Actually, he's the same age as you, a few months younger." Yan Nanxing did some calculations. "I only know that he skipped a grade twice. I don't know much else. After all, I'm not familiar with him."
It is really unreliable for someone to say that they are not familiar with each other when they were talking on the phone not long ago.
Nan Fei was stunned when he heard this: "Skipping a grade? Your cousin is too amazing!!"
After all, Nan Fei himself is not a very smart person. Although he has had good grades since childhood, that is largely due to his acquired efforts. In addition, he went to a music college abroad and worked hard on academic subjects, so he is still not a top student.
Not to mention, by skipping grades and competing with people of different ages, he was able to get into one of the top universities in China, such as Huahai University.
Perhaps it was the Chinese people's unique worship of achievement. Thinking of this, Nan Fei couldn't help but ask, "I remember that you also graduated from Hua University, right?"
Seeing Nan Fei's gaze of pure admiration for the first time, Yan Nanxing felt a moment of displeasure. His tone was indifferent, but his words were full of boasting: "Yes, it's the Traditional Chinese Medicine major at Hua University. However, I'm different from Yan Kongqing who could only get into Hua University. I'm simply starting a business, and I have some connections here. It's really inconvenient for me to go to Peking University, so I chose the school near my home."
Even a fool could hear the boasting meaning in it, and the way Yan Nanxing tilted his head back, it was almost as if the words "Praise me quickly" were written on his face.
Nan Fei chuckled and said, "Are your genes so good? How come everyone is so good?"
Yan Nanxing hummed in satisfaction: "It's just so-so. As long as you understand the basic logic, learning will be the easiest thing."
These words were a bit crazy, but when I thought that the person who said them was Yan Nanxing, everything seemed to make sense. Nan Fei snored twice, and suddenly there was a sound from her stomach, and the room fell silent.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Yan Nanxing frowned slightly. "What kind of business cocktail party is this? That's too far-fetched, isn't it?"
Nan Fei covered her stomach embarrassedly: "Well... basically, whenever I meet someone, they will drag me to drink, so I find an excuse to run away."
That's no wonder.
Yan Nanxing didn't say anything else. He got up and went to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and searched for a while. Then he heard the sound of a stove being turned on.
Nan Fei followed over to take a look. Next to the stove was a bag of frozen wontons, which looked well-shaped. Hearing him approach, Yan Nanxing explained, "I haven't been home much lately and haven't had time to buy groceries. Let's make do with this tonight."
After all, no matter how good it looks, it can't change the fact that pre-made food doesn't taste that good, but Nan Fei isn't picky: "I'm fine with anything."
While controlling the heat, Yan Nanxing felt a slight headache: "I really didn't consider this before... If you want to live here permanently, there are some things you should buy."
As he spoke, he had an idea: "Would you like to go shopping with me at the nearby mall tomorrow?"
