Chapter 313 I’m Sorry… Ning Anran
Pour cold water on your face.
Ning Anran grabbed the flesh of her cheek with her fingers slightly harder. She knew that her tone had been a little harsh just now.
But she couldn't maintain her remaining sanity in the face of Xia Xia's annoying remarks.
She couldn't say anything harsh, but she didn't want to let it go.
…
Standing in front of the bathroom door.
Gu Xia could see Ning Anran's figure through the hazy glass.
With his knuckles slightly bent, Gu Xia hadn't even touched the bathroom door when he began to feel like backing out.
I just said the wrong thing without thinking.
If I push the door open again, will I say the wrong thing in front of Ning Anran again? Will they quarrel then?
It's still a one-sided cold war.
Hesitation and uncertainty swirled around in Gu Xia's heart, like spilled paint, mixing into complex colors.
"Ning Anran, I... shouldn't have said that just now."
The arrogant Miss Gu lowered her head and stared at her beige slippers. Gu Xia finally gave up the idea of knocking on the door.
Whether it's a person or a pet.
Everyone gets angry sometimes.
Gu Xia didn't know how to handle the situation properly, so he just gave in.
Her long hair fell from her shoulders. Gu Xia had always hated the feeling of having a sour mood controlling her chest.
She is not as disgusted now, but she feels even sadder.
Why is this?
Why do people have so many worries?
Why should she become unlike herself just because Ning Anran was angry? At worst... at worst she would just ignore Ning Anran again.
The dried eyelashes became wet again, and Gu Xia wanted to roll back into the quilt and return to the time when the fever had not subsided.
In that case... would Ning Anran be more indulgent towards her?
There was a clear "squeak" sound.
The door opened from the inside.
There was still moisture on Ning Anran's cheeks, and the collar of her clothes was wet by the cold water. She seemed to be even more embarrassed than Miss Gu Er who bowed her head to admit her mistake.
"Come in and wash up."
No turning away, no questioning.
Ning Anran always sulks alone.
Ning Anran left enough space for her slippers to step on the white tiles in the bathroom.
"The water is warm, don't wash with cold water."
"Xia Xia."
Pinching herself with her fingers, Ning Anran tried her best to restrain herself.
——“Emotions can easily affect work.”
It was not until today that Ning Anran understood what this sentence really meant. It was not just about work, Ning Anran felt that her 24 hours were influenced by Gu Xia.
"Oh, are you done washing?"
"Ning Anran."
"If not, we can..."
A familiar hand fell on his shoulder, and Gu Xia was gently pushed into the bathroom, and then the bathroom door was closed heavily again.
…
Ning Anran found the clothes she had left behind in Gu Xia's closet and changed into lazy casual clothes.
Just as I was about to roll up my sleeves and tidy up the bedding, there was a knock on the door.
"Ms. Ning, the eldest lady told me that I will be in charge of the affairs in the second lady's room. You should just have a good rest."
Mother Li brought over new bedding and planned to change the quilt cover for Gu Xia.
Gu Xia was indeed sweating yesterday, and Ning Anran silently followed behind Li Ma to help.
"Miss Ning, there's no need to bother. This is my job. Miss Ning, please take a rest first."
Li Ma has always been smart and sensible.
The eldest lady repeatedly reminded her on the phone, how could she not hear the "secret" between Miss Ning and the second lady.
Seeing that she insisted that she didn't need help, Ning Anran stopped what he was doing.
"Do you need my help making breakfast?"
Looking up at the lighted bathroom again, Ning Anran still couldn't stay angry with this person for too long.
Gu Xia hadn't eaten anything from yesterday to today. She had just recovered from a serious illness and couldn't eat much, so Ning Anran planned to make something light for her.
"Breakfast is ready. Miss Ning, just accompany the Second Miss for dinner."
"The eldest lady has already gone out to work."
When Li Ma was cleaning up the dishes in the morning, Gu Lindong specifically reminded her not to go up and disturb them if there was no movement on the second floor.
If you hear any movement, push the door open and go in immediately.
However, even with the eldest lady's advice, Aunt Li did not dare to provoke the "Little King of Hell" Miss Gu Er to lose her temper. She stood by the door and listened for a while, making sure that the two were just having a simple quarrel.
Then I knocked on the door to disturb you.
"good."
"Then I'll go down first."
Ning Anran left Gu Xia's bedroom and walked towards the restaurant on the first floor.
…
Gu Xia hurried out after washing up and saw only Li Ma helping him put on a pillowcase.
"Auntie Li, where is Ning... Anran?"
The tone of voice unconsciously changed from a high pitch to a low voice, especially the two words "An Ran" were almost unclear to the elderly Mrs. Li.
Did Ning Anran really leave in anger?
Did I force her away?
"Oh, about this, Second Miss, Miss Ning just came downstairs and said she wanted to meet Second Miss..."
Before Li Ma could finish her words, Gu Xia scurried out like a rabbit, her slippers making a thumping sound on the ground.
Gu Xia couldn't suppress the sound of his heavier breathing, nor could he suppress the deafening heartbeat.
"Ning Anran!"
The sound of breaking things floated in the living room. Gu Xia didn't have time to take a closer look at the living room environment. He grabbed the wooden stair railing and ran down the stairs.
At the last step, Gu Xia missed a step and almost fell on his face because he was too anxious.
Fortunately, her clothes were grabbed by a familiar hand, and then another hand rested on her shoulder.
"Do you really have to fall down in front of me?"
"Gu Xia."
Only after Ning Anran left Gu Xia's bedroom did she realize how sore and numb her body was. She rubbed her waist with her hands, and after a while of relief, she slowly walked down the stairs.
Just walked into the living room.
Before Ning Anran had time to walk towards the kitchen and dining room, she heard a familiar voice coming from the second floor.
Then there was a dull sound of "dong dong dong".
Then, Ning Anran met the reckless and rarely seen Miss Gu.
"I thought you were angry and went out."
"Ning Anran."
Although her skin was a little uncomfortable due to the pajamas, Gu Xia didn't feel much pain. She looked at Ning Anran with her crystal clear eyes, showing a little aggrieved.
With her fluffy hair and clean sleeping face, Gu Xia didn't have her usual arrogant and domineering temperament.
"I'm not angry."
"Xia Xia."
Even if she was angry, she was probably angry at herself.
"But you look clearly angry right now... Who frowns when they're not angry?"
Listen to her nonsense.
Ning Anran half bent down and put on the slippers that Gu Xia was about to throw off.
"Just think of it as me being angry."
"Angry that you don't take care of yourself."
Ning Anran was about to stand up with her hands on her knees, but her head was hugged by Gu Xia who was squatting down.
"Ning Anran, I apologize to you."
"I'm sorry... Ning Anran."
