Chapter 65 Chapter 065 Because I love you enough...
As soon as this question was asked, the whole audience fell silent.
Wanquan had no idea what was going on, so Xing Rui averted his gaze. In short, in this situation, he should pretend to be dead as much as possible.
Yan Nanxing did not show any obvious avoidance behavior. His gaze remained fixed on Nan Fei. The feeling of being stared at was too strong, yet he could not interrupt.
After a moment of silence, Nan Fei took a step back and said, "If it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to say it."
Yan Nanxing finally took action. He spread his hands, placed them on the table, and tilted his head to the side. "Hmm...it's really not that easy to explain."
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's just that I can't explain it in a few words."
Nan Fei nodded in understanding: "Then let's not talk about it for now."
The atmosphere at the table seemed to have returned to harmony. After some casual conversation, everyone was finally able to have a good dinner.
However, as soon as it was over, the host wanted to kick the guests out. Wan Quan was very efficient. At six o'clock, he watched Yan Nanxing post the first update on his new account. The purpose of this trip was achieved, and he left satisfied. Xing Rui called out to him twice from behind, but he pretended not to hear, for fear that he would be caught by the boss and asked to "work overtime."
Standing at the door, Yan Nanxing sneered at him, "Come on, you're just here for fun. There's no place for you in the nightclub, so why bother wasting time?"
"It's already past eight o'clock. If you don't go back, I'm afraid your two brothers will come looking for me."
Because they hang out with him too much, the two Xing family members are always worried that their youngest child will be led astray by Yan Nanxing.
But because these two people have indeed achieved some considerable success in the past few years, there is no excuse to force them to break up.
When his elder brother was mentioned, Xing Rui curled his lips: "Why do you think I don't want to go back?"
"Oh, that's strange." Yan Nanxing suddenly became interested. Seeing that this well-known brother complex person actually didn't want to go back to see his brothers, he began to speculate excitedly, "Last time, I tricked you into going to your company. Why this time?"
"Do you still need to guess? It's a blind date." Xing Rui waved his hand, "Yan Nanxing, have you forgotten that we are both about to turn 30?"
Yan Nanxing frowned slightly.
Although he doesn't care much about people mentioning his age, it feels different when these words come from Xing Rui's mouth.
"Oh, that's right. Our situations are different. You don't have anyone above you who can put pressure on you, and you yourself don't fall for moral blackmail." Xing Rui made a bitter joke, then sighed, "Oh, it's comfortable to be the boss. If I had your mentality of not being afraid of pissing off my grandfather, there's nothing I can't do."
Suddenly, Xing Rui smiled slyly: "Hey, now I think your idea of us getting married is a good one. Is this activity still going on?"
"Get lost. I won't see you off."
Yan Nanxing simply ignored him and closed and locked the door.
It was exactly the same as the action of hanging up the phone before.
Xing Rui's laughter in the yard came through the door, and then slowly faded away. After all, out of consideration for their relationship, Yan Nanxing called a taxi for him and sent him back to the Xing family's old house, ensuring that Xing Rui was sent to his doorstep perfectly.
Hearing the noise outside gradually subside, Nan Fei walked back to the living room and asked while clinging to the wall, "Is everyone gone?"
Originally, he was going to see the guest off, but Yan Nanxing said that he had some personal work matters to discuss, so Nan Fei did not come out to see him off.
But the real reason was that Yan Nanxing didn't want Xing Rui to have any contact with Nan Fei at all.
This is to prevent someone from "accidentally" revealing some unknown information during an argument.
Yan Nanxing confirmed that the door was locked, turned around and responded. Seeing Nan Fei peeking in, his heart softened. He walked forward, raised his hand and rubbed Nan Fei's face, but still couldn't help but hugged her in his arms.
He took a long, deep breath. Now that they were the only ones left, Yan Nanxing relaxed completely. He spoke in a tired voice, "Finally, we've sent the two great gods away. I should have known not to let them come."
I am still too easy to talk to, I need to change this habit.
Nan Fei did not respond, neither denying nor commenting. He knew that Yan Nanxing just needed to adjust himself. The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while. Faster than he thought, Yan Nanxing released the hand around his back, and his eyes had regained clarity.
Nan Fei looked at him and smiled at him: "Is this full of energy?"
"Hmm... you smell really good, what's that smell?" Seeing this person in front of him, Yan Nanxing felt much better and his brain quickly became active again. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately answered himself, "Oh yes, you are wearing my old clothes."
Nan Fei pursed her lips: "You already know and you're asking me?"
"No." Seeing the person's eyes slightly avoiding, Yan Nanxing pondered, "Are you embarrassed?"
Hearing this, Nan Fei let go and was about to leave, but was immediately pulled back by Yan Nanxing's muffled laughter: "Oh, okay, okay, I said the wrong thing."
"Now that there are no outsiders around, I have a question for you."
His tone became slightly serious, and Nan Fei also looked serious. The two of them walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down side by side.
I didn't expect Yan Nanxing to be so cautious, but the question she asked was surprising: "What did you talk about when you were alone with Xing Rui at night?"
Nan Fei turned his head to observe.
Yan Nanxing has always been calm, as if he can handle anything with ease. This seems to be the first time. Nan Fei saw a hint of "uneasiness" in his blinking eyes.
Why? Are you afraid that he will hear something "that shouldn't be said" from Xing Rui?
Perhaps because she had been with Yan Nanxing for a long time, Nan Fei's first reaction was to deliberately scare him to see if she could trick him into giving her something. But the thought quickly passed by, and when she realized what she was thinking, she felt it was ridiculous at first, but was eventually suppressed by her high moral standards and chose to tell the truth.
"We didn't talk about anything, just the details of how we met." Nan Fei said casually, "Xing Rui is a very good friend. He asked a lot about the process and he really cares about you."
Can this be considered concern? It's obviously pure gossip.
He chuckled and felt relieved.
After accidentally finding out that Xing Rui was the one who was so nosy about his connection with "Taoyuan Cottage", Yan Nanxing unconsciously became a little anxious that this guy might accidentally "expose" him in a place he didn't expect.
The relief he showed was too obvious. Facing Nan Fei's gaze, Yan Nanxing hesitated for a moment, then explained, "We're used to being immoral in private. We did commit a lot of misdeeds when we were young. I'm afraid he'll... exaggerate."
"What are you exaggerating?" Nan Fei recalled what they had talked about that night. "Are you talking about your ten or eight exes?"
Didn’t I say that?
"Nonsense, how could there be so many? If you insist, I've only dated two." Yan Nanxing tried to excuse himself, his expression very stern and convincing.
Nan Fei couldn't hold it anymore.
"He didn't say anything, I just guessed." Nan Fei said a few words to comfort him. "But he did mention that you had a premature love affair in high school and even skipped classes to go out on a date with your partner. Is this exaggeration?"
"What do you mean by puppy love? I only started dating after I became an adult." This sentence awoke Yan Nanxing's old memories, and it took him a while to remember them. "But I do remember skipping classes. There was one time in my second year of high school... My mental state wasn't very stable, and before I knew it, I'd already skipped half a day of classes. Then I ran into a classmate on the street who had called in sick and ended up at the arcade, and we played together for the entire afternoon."
Yan Nanxing was puzzled: "Although there were indeed rumors that I was in a premature relationship with a classmate after that, it was clearly clarified. Why would that bastard Xing Rui still bring up rumors?!"
"Ah, that seems to be it." Nan Fei had brought it up herself, but her voice gradually trailed off, and after a few shallow breaths, she continued, "Your mental state is unstable. Are you sick?"
This statement was too subtle. Yan Nanxing was stunned for a moment. He was surprised by Nan Fei's focus at first, then smiled faintly: "It's old news from many years ago. Bringing it up now seems like deliberately playing the victim."
"Well, specifically, the year Shannai passed away was the same year I entered junior high school, so I wasn't very stable for the next few years." Yan Nanxing was able to remain calm and composed when talking about things that happened many years ago. If you hadn't seen Yan Nanxing in such a bad state with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this was something he had experienced firsthand. "What's the cliché to call it? Hallucinations or something like that. I always assumed Shannai was still alive, so sometimes I was in a trance. I was young at the time and lacked self-control, so it looked quite scary."
Nan Fei felt distressed after hearing this and silently grabbed Yan Nanxing's hand.
So, the other party followed this action, holding his hand in reverse, interlocking their fingers, and lightly tapping their fingertips on the back of his hand a few times, saying in a casual tone: "Okay, if you keep looking at me like that, I might not be able to help but push my luck. You don't want me to deliberately play the victim and threaten you with a bunch of demands in the future, do you?"
"Then ask." Nan Fei responded promptly, holding hands tightly and looking at him firmly. "This is not a threat. I agree to it voluntarily."
Yan Nanxing's eyes moved slightly.
How could someone be so beautiful?
I used to think that a person with such high moral standards who seemed unreal could be so soft on some principles.
Yan Nanxing raised his hand and gently kissed the back of Nan Fei's hand. His movements were gentle, but it was like a fire being ignited, and the warmth gradually spread throughout his body.
While kissing, they gradually closed the distance. Yan Nanxing stretched out his other hand and gently placed it on the back of Nan Fei's neck. This was an obvious gesture of asking for a kiss.
But when they were about to touch, he paused, his heat fluttering on his face, ambiguous and lingering: "Xing Rui is right, Nan Fei, I am not worthy of you."
I am so terrible, and you are so perfect.
Nan Fei took the opportunity to hold Yan Nanxing's face and moved closer to complete the kiss that had ended abruptly.
After just a moment's contact, he stepped back and gave his answer word by word.
"But I love you."
Dear, don't be inferior and don't be cowardly.
Because I love you enough.
