Chapter 198
The posture of the two people was obviously somewhat ambiguous, but Nan Yan supported her body with her hands on his shoulders, and there was a distance between them.
Nan Yan did not fall into his arms. She straightened her back slightly and looked up at him. She did not see any unnecessary strange emotions in his eyes. It seemed that he really had good intentions, with a calm and gentle look.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have been fooled by him, but Nan Yan didn't want to be led by the nose by him, and she didn't want him to take the initiative.
So Nan Yan pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she looked at him seriously in a calm voice and replied, "No, I don't want to either."
This answer made Zhong Ling's expression stiff for a moment. He even thought that Nan Yan saw through his true thoughts, but when he met her gaze, it was not what he imagined.
Zhong Ling was confused for a moment. Why was he rejected even though he had taken the initiative to this extent? This made his expression a little embarrassed, and even his voice became a little dry. Finally, he asked in a low voice,
"Why not? Is it because you really hate me deep down?" He paused after he finished speaking and looked up at her face.
Nan Yan shook her head and looked at Zhong Ling, "Why do you think so? You have helped me so much, I am grateful to you so much, how could I dislike you?"
Her voice was as gentle and calm as ever, as if it had the power to calm people. Under normal circumstances, Zhong Ling would surely slowly calm down as her voice sounded, but now it was clear that Zhong Ling's emotions could not be calmed down.
All his thoughts were on the person in front of him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"
Nan Yan raised her head again when she heard the voice. She saw that Zhong Ling's face was obviously stiff and depressed. Her expression froze for a moment, but she did not directly answer his question. Instead, she asked softly, "Zhong Ling, you just had a quarrel with He Mian, right?"
Zhong Ling didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, and he didn't think he could hide this from her. He just lowered his head subconsciously and shifted his gaze an inch. He didn't meet her gaze, but he didn't deny it either.
After a long while, he bowed his head and apologized, "Sorry, did the noise just now disturb you?"
He really felt sorry and didn't want to show his out-of-control and irritable side in front of her.
Nan Yan pursed her lips and shook her head. Her voice became calm and gentle. She then began to explain, "I didn't hear you quarreling. The soundproofing of the study on the second floor is too good. But Mr. Zhong, I'm not a fool. How could such a messy scene in the living room be caused by you accidentally falling out?"
When she said this, Nan Yan's expression became a little more serious. There was a strange flash in her eyes, and her tone became more serious. "Zhong Ling, you have quarreled with your friend, and the quarrel was so fierce. Do you really want to help him? Under normal circumstances, after two people have an argument, they obviously want to tease each other or embarrass each other. How can you be so generous and help him without holding a grudge?"
Hearing this, Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. It seemed that this was indeed the case. He was the one who showed it too obviously. He couldn't understand such a simple truth.
Nan Yan didn't wait for him to think it through and continued, "Zhong Ling, I don't know what you quarreled about, but it seems to have something to do with me. I think you must be really angry this time. I can't guess the specific reason."
"But, Zhong Ling, in my eyes, you are not a person who acts on impulse."
Nan Yan noticed that Zhong Ling's expression had become a little stiff as she spoke. She also knew that what she said was a little harsh, so she explained, "I said this not to blame you, but I am a little sad."
Nan Yan lowered her head gently, and her breath gently sprayed on Zhong Ling's chest. He only felt a warm breath under his neck. Before he could think about it carefully, he heard the other party's voice again, "Zhong Ling, aren't we friends? Friends can talk about any problems."
"But now you are using me as a revenge tool to anger He Mian. This makes me feel, Zhong Ling, that you don't regard me as your true friend. You can actually tell me that although I have a good impression of him, I will also help you."
"Even if we don't talk about other things, we have signed a contract, right, Boss Zhong?"
After saying this, Zhong Ling completely forgot about what he had just thought about.
He pursed his lips tightly, wanting to explain that he was not using her as a tool to take revenge on He Mian, and that he had no intention of taking advantage of her. But when the words came to his lips, Zhong Ling found that he couldn't say it, because if he said it, the dirty and dark thoughts in his heart would be completely exposed.
He no longer had the energy to think about his reasons and excuses. He was just a little sad, with an indescribable sadness deep in his heart.
She is not the same kind of person as him. She does not have the hypocritical character that he pretends to have. She is gentle and principled. She will not give up her bottom line because of a few words from others. Compared to people like him, Zhong Ling feels that taking advantage of others' misfortune is the most unbearable. At this moment, even if he deceives himself, he cannot cover up his inherent evil.
"I'm sorry..." Zhong Ling's face suddenly turned pale. His mind was a little confused. He didn't know how to express his thoughts, but what she said was so obvious.
He knew what kind of person she was, so he was even more attracted to people like her. He felt that whether she agreed or refused, he could not let go, nor did he want to let go.
When Nan Yan shook her head and gently pushed away his slightly stiff palm, preparing to get up from his arms, a trace of struggle flashed across Zhong Ling's face. He closed his eyes, and suddenly reached out a hand to hold her fingers, whispering:
"Yanyan, He Mian and I did have an argument, but it wasn't what you said. Yanyan, what if I said that I wasn't taking advantage of you, nor was I taking revenge on you?"
Nan Yan was obviously stunned when she heard this. She raised her head, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she even thought that she had heard it wrongly. But his fingers were holding her so tightly, his slender fingers were pressed against the back of her hand, tightly entwined and unwilling to let go.
Nan Yan's eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands. If it wasn't revenge or exploitation, then what else could it be? Nan Yan was not stupid, so she naturally guessed what he meant, but she lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhong Ling didn't wait for an answer, and finally couldn't help but open his eyes. A trace of embarrassment and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
His lips were obviously pale, and he had made up his mind to tear through the window paper. "I'm not lying. I just have such disgusting thoughts about you."
He told Nan Yan, "I just wanted to kiss you that night. I didn't treat you as someone else, nor was it an impulse. I really had that kind of feeling for you. Those words I said to you just now were just to coax you, to coax you to get close to me."
At the end, his voice changed, his tone lowered, his throat a little hoarse, "Do you think I'm disgusting and bad? I'm actually a bad person. I'm not as good as you think. I'm sorry..."
There seemed to be a kind of self-loathing in his eyes. His lips were tightly pursed, and he looked as if he had given up on himself. Even though he said this, his fingers were still unwillingly plucking at her fingers and refused to let go.
He revealed his thoughts clearly. Maybe he was too stimulated tonight, or maybe he really couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to give it a try.
Nan Yan didn't move after hearing these words. She was silent for a long time and didn't answer.
Zhong Ling couldn't help but think anxiously, maybe she didn't hate him that much, maybe she was a little attracted to him in her heart, so she was silent and hesitant.
But just as this thought came into his mind, he heard Nan Yan's gentle and calm voice, which was too gentle and too distant and plain. She called his name softly:
"Zhong Ling, do you still remember what we said when we first met? In fact, you have really helped me a lot during this period of time. You lent me money, sent me home, and protected me from time to time when I was in the club. I am really grateful to you. At the same time, I also regard you as my most important friend in my heart."
Nan Yan spoke softly, but her fingers gently pulled out his palm. She didn't use too much force, but Zhong Ling didn't hold it tightly, because his body stiffened again, and his throat was dry and he couldn't utter a word.
He knew what she meant.
Friend, he was just a friend to her.
Nan Yan pursed her lips slightly, with a hint of hesitation and unnaturalness in her eyes, "Actually, I also have a good impression of you, but this kind of good impression is just the good impression between friends."
"I don't know if my actions during this period have caused you some misunderstandings, but I really regard you as a friend. Apart from that, I don't have any other thoughts."
She shook her head, her meaning obvious.
Zhong Ling felt that his breathing was a little irregular for a moment, as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest. A chaotic and unbearable emotion rose and fell in his chest.
Not only that, Nan Yan continued to deny, "Zhong Ling, we haven't been together for that long. Maybe you've been too sad recently because of the breakup with your ex-girlfriend, so you subconsciously want to pin your feelings on another person. Maybe, when your ex-girlfriend comes back, you'll find that you still like her..."
"No! I am very clear about my feelings, and I don't regard you as a support." After hearing this, Zhong Ling finally couldn't help but speak and interrupted her.
When Zhong Ling saw Nan Yan's stunned expression, he realized that his tone was a bit heavy, even a little stiff.
He knew very well that he was carrying some anger after being rejected, which was a subconscious reaction.
"You can reject me, but you can't deny this. I'm an adult and I know what I like and what I don't like. Please don't say that, okay?"
Nan Yan looked up at him without saying anything.
Zhong Ling closed his eyes again, paused, and said in a hoarse voice with some unspeakable emotion:
"I'm sorry, my tone was too harsh."
He told himself in his heart that it was no big deal, he was just rejected by the person he liked. He was an adult, love was not that important to him, this was not something he couldn't accept, he had expected it, right? He had been confused from the beginning, and she had never taken the initiative to show it, so he was just imagining everything.
He couldn't blame anyone else, he only blamed himself for not being able to control his emotions. He should have restrained himself from the beginning. If he hadn't said it out loud, things between them might not have become so awkward. But now that he had said it out loud, there was nothing left for them to say to each other except for keeping calm.
Everything that needs to be said has been made clear. She doesn't like him, and she has made it very clear. He is not the kind of person who forces girls. It is impossible for him to get angry just because the other party doesn't like him. Maybe he is a little angry, but it is impossible for him to force the other party to do something they don't want to do. He is not that kind of person.
Zhong Ling opened his eyes, his face expressionless, his eyes even colder than before, "Go away, you don't need to come over recently. Now you know my thoughts and what kind of person I am. If you show up again, I'm afraid I will do something bad to you."
Nan Yan's eyes flashed with apology, and she suddenly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant just now. The tone of my words may be a little..."
Zhong Ling felt an indescribable sense of melancholy in his heart.
Zhong Ling took a deep breath and turned his head away from her, fearing that if he looked at her any longer he would lose control of the urge to pull her into his arms. He couldn't think about it, because the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he would feel.
"You don't have to apologize to me. I've already said that I'm not as good as you think. The reason I haven't done anything evil and excessive to you is because I still have a little moral bottom line in my heart to restrain myself."
He turned around and looked down at Nan Yan in front of him. His eyes were no longer as gentle and restrained as before. "Until just now, I was thinking, if I really forced you and asked you to be with me, would you be able to resist?"
Nan Yan was slightly startled when she heard this, with a hint of surprise and astonishment in her eyes. She seemed to have not expected that he would do such a thing, which made her speechless for a moment.
Zhong Ling suddenly felt a lot of pain and sadness in his heart. He closed his eyes and said, "Don't look at me like that. It will make me want to bully you even more. I've said it before, I'm not a good person."
But he couldn't do such a thing. Forcing the girl he liked was something that only people with no bottom line would do. He wasn't that disgusted to that extent.
But he was really sad now, so sad that he wanted to scare her coldly and let her see clearly that he was no worse than He Mian, the only difference between him and her was some time.
But just a short period of time, when he didn't even know her, she started interacting with He Mian.
Zhong Ling's emotions were in turmoil, but in the end he had no choice but to suppress them. Now that things had come to this, everything had been made clear.
There's no point in keeping people here any longer.
She would only grow more disgusted and afraid of him.
He didn't want to see that kind of look in her eyes, it would be too much for him to bear.
Zhong Ling completely let go of her hand this time, stood up from the sofa, and said to Nan Yan, "From now on, the relationship between us will be just that of a superior and a subordinate. You don't need to feel any responsibility. I was the one who offended you today. I will be careful in the future and try not to do anything excessive to you, but I cannot rule out the possibility that I may do something stupid sometimes, so try to stay away from me."
Nan Yan's lips moved slightly, and she seemed to have something to say, but seeing that Zhong Ling's face had returned to his usual cold and rational look, the words she was about to say were blocked in her throat again, and in the end she said nothing.
Just look at him quietly.
Zhong Ling felt uncomfortable, as if he understood her thoughts. He suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them again and walked towards the bedroom.
Just as he was about to enter the house, Nan Yan suddenly called him from behind, "Zhong Ling."
When Zhong Ling heard the voice, he stopped walking involuntarily. He could not help but despise himself in his heart because he had clearly agreed to keep a distance from others.
But when she called him just a little, he couldn't control his excitement and couldn't help but stop, wanting to listen to what she would say. In his heart, he always had the delusion that maybe she would throw herself into his arms in the next second, and tell him with a smile that she was willing.
However, the reality is always the opposite.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, and she stood up from the sofa, looking at his back quietly. She hesitated and said, "Then... I will leave first today. If you feel unwell, remember to go to the hospital. Also, don't forget to apply ointment to the wound on your hand."
Zhong Ling didn't say anything for a long time. I don't know if he was angry. He clenched his fingers, pushed open the door, and went straight into the house.
Nan Yan was left alone in the living room. She pretended to sweep up the debris on the floor, then left with her small bag in a happy mood.
She didn't care how bad Zhong Ling's mood was at the moment, whether he was sad or hurt, that was what he deserved. She just wanted him to feel what it felt like to be rejected even as a tool.
In addition, no one knew where He Mian had gone. He left without saying anything, and he didn't even bother to send her a message in advance. This bastard was even better at pretending than her.
Nan Yan left the community and walked for a long distance on the road alone. There was no other way. The distances between villas were too large and people in the community basically drove to travel. She refused Zhong Ling at this moment, and that bastard He Mian ran away alone again, so she could only rely on her own two feet to walk out.
However, when she reached the door, Nan Yan saw the conspicuous and flashy luxury car parked beside the tree-lined avenue. Just as she reached the station, she heard the luxury car next to her honking a few times.
As the car window rolled down, He Mian's familiar handsome face popped out from inside. He must have been waiting for a long time and was getting a little impatient. He stared at him with his dark eyes. His stern face had three-dimensional features and a high nose bridge. When he stared at him like that, he looked like he was about to rush up and beat someone up.
"Come up."
Nan Yan got into the car without hesitation and without any guilt.
It's such a long distance, and there are free professional drivers to pick you up, you would be wasting your time if you don't take it.
After getting in the car, she noticed that the man had changed into clean clothes. There was a faint smell in the car. He probably went home to take a shower. His hair was half dry and slightly damp.
When Nan Yan got into the car, He Mian turned his head, leaned his upper body on the tilted car mat, and looked around her upper body with a strange look, as if he was looking to see if there was any piece of flesh falling off her body.
"What took you so long to come out?"
Nan Yan turned to look at him and smiled at him with a good temper, "You care about me so much?"
He Mian hit a soft spot, and the words were stuck in his throat, and he was embarrassed to say them for a long time. Why did he feel that this woman would not pretend when she was in front of him?
She had been pretending to be so gentle and considerate in front of Zhong Ling just now, pouring water and cutting fruit for him, so why did her true nature become apparent when she was in front of him?
He didn't mind her revealing her true nature in front of him, but now she didn't even pretend. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Do you talk to Zhong Ling like this?" He Mian put his fingers on the steering wheel, tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking.
Nan Yan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems not."
What do you mean by 'seemingly'? It's absolutely not true! He Mian felt her teeth itching. This was not her attitude towards Zhong Ling.
After Nan Yan finished speaking, she turned her head slightly to look at his unhappy expression, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you suddenly care about this? You seem to care about me a lot?"
He Mian glared at her unhappily, "How can I not care? My life is in your hands. If you really get together with Zhong Ling, what should I do in the future?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile. She said, "If you like me, you should tell me as soon as possible. How would I know if you don't tell me?"
"I like you?" He Mian doubted his ears and turned his head as if he had seen a ghost. He was simply speechless because of this woman's blind confidence. He couldn't help but reply, "It's obvious that you like me, right?"
"Yes." Nan Yan nodded seriously this time, "I like you too."
He Mian thought he had misheard at first, but when he turned around, he saw the woman curling her lips and giving him a gentle and clean smile, which clearly showed that she was not joking.
Mr. He hesitated for a rare moment. When the car stopped on the side of the road, he turned around and asked again, "Are you serious?"
This time Nan Yan didn't answer. She pursed her lips and chuckled. Then, in the other's hesitant look, she suddenly leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.
He Mian: “…”
This time He Mian was really frozen, his eye sockets slightly dilated, an expression of disbelief and weirdness suddenly appeared on his face, and he suddenly felt like he was steaming.
His frozen expression looked silly.
Nan Yan stepped back a little, raised her head and looked at him with a smile on her face, "Then is there any other fake one?"
He Mian didn't expect... No, she was actually so direct?
How should I put it? Originally, he thought he would have to pursue her for a long time, at least he would have to develop feelings for her. After all, if he followed his original plan, he would definitely be the one in the lead. Now, he suddenly felt something was not right.
If they weren't both sitting in the car, he would have had the urge to rush up and knock the person to the ground.
"Grass!"
He Mian blushed, which was rare for him. He wasn't shy, but he just felt that it was a little hot today, and the atmosphere in the car felt a little strange.
He felt that his aura could not be suppressed by a girl. However, he touched the corner of his mouth and found it was a little wet. He Mian could not help but howl, "You blind woman, have you been eyeing me for a long time?"
If Nan Yan's expression had not remained normal from beginning to end, he would have suspected that this man had planned with others and was deliberately teasing him.
He doesn't think he is better than Zhong Ling.
He had just had a quarrel with Zhong Ling, and this woman came straight to him. She was so fast that he wondered if she had colluded with Zhong Ling and wanted to make fun of him.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not likely. Zhong Ling is not the kind of person who would play tricks. Since he likes Wen Nanyan, he will not let the girl he likes have too much contact with other opposite sexes.
But He Mian still couldn't help but feel suspicious, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he raised his head and stared at the person in front of him.
"Tell me the truth, what do you like about me? My salary card or my bank card, my sports car or my small villa? Do you have some other agenda? I won't be tricked by you!"
"My face is thicker than a city wall, and my brain is smarter than the monkeys in Mount Emei! Are you after my beauty or my money? I'll say it again, there are only two bank cards in my left pants pocket, and the password is six eights. There is a bottle of Viagra in my right pants pocket. I don't have money, but I have my life. You can trample on my body as you like."
"So, what do you like about your brother?"
My brother will work hard to maintain and develop it in the future and will never change!
Nan Yan listened to the man's nonsense and wondered if this silly dog was too excited today?
She simply reached out, pulled the agitated dog's head over, and kissed it directly on the lips.
"I like it when you can be quiet."
Nan Yan looked him up and down, and suddenly a smile appeared in her eyes. "He Mian, have you never been in a relationship before? Are you so excited and nervous when someone confesses their love to you?"
He Mian: “…”
Although this is the fact, can he admit it?
Can love be so easy to talk about?
She knew his situation was special, so she didn't dare let anyone get close to him.
Although he said so, He Mian still glared at her fiercely, with a slightly embarrassed expression, and continued to be stubborn, "Bah! Are you kidding me? I have been in love since elementary school and kindergarten."
"I talked to middle school students in elementary school, high school students in middle school, and college students in high school. The school criticized premature love by name and called the parents. You say I have never been in love. Is this possible?"
Nan Yan's eyes widened, and she suddenly discovered this man's unique hobby, "Ah, so you only like girls who are older than you?"
He Mian glanced at her and continued to talk nonsense, "You don't understand, men like older women because older women have bigger breasts."
This seems to make sense.
So when she heard this, Nan Yan subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at her chest, her expression slightly annoyed, "This... is it not okay if you have small breasts? I don't have such big breasts."
He Mian was silent for a few seconds, lowering his head, but he couldn't help but glance to the side.
I couldn't help blushing when I saw this.
How is it small? It's not small at all!
He had never dated anyone but had been pursued by many people. However, he had not really interacted with girls that much. Seeing her frowning and embarrassed, he felt his heartbeat was a little strange. He simply held her shoulders, pulled her into his arms and kissed her fiercely. After the kiss, he said:
"Sister, should we go to the hospital to have our eyes checked? Your eyesight may be a little off."
She actually fell for a bastard like him.
In that case, he would play with her.
Nan Yan's true nature immediately showed up when she heard that. She slapped him on the chest and glared at him, "Who are you saying is blind?"
He Mian was not angry this time. He couldn't help but lower his head and laugh. The laughter vibrated in his chest. He put his chin against her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Do you really like me that much?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips and said nothing, but her earlobes turned a little red.
Seeing that she did not resist, He Mian reached out and rubbed her delicate white earlobe, then unbuckled her seat belt and pressed Nan Yan's shoulders, pushing her against the cushion. When their eyes met, He Mian suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
This time the kiss was gentle, delicate and slow.
Nan Yan only felt her lips numbing from the kiss.
I also heard this person say, "Okay, I knew that you, a little girl, had bad intentions towards me the first time we met. Not only did you covet my beautiful face, but you also coveted my young body. Tell me, have you been coveting me for a long time?"
Nan Yan originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "What's so good about you? You can't even get hard, what's the point of me being so good?"
He Mian: “…”
