The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 17
Nie Ranqing woke up the next day feeling uncomfortable from head to toe.She sat up holding the thin quilt and was stunned for a while.

Regarding what happened the night before, she was not blank, but it was all fragments, pieced together bit by bit, but still messy.

The last picture stayed at the moment when Xi Jinnan slammed the door and left, but she basically couldn't remember what she said last night. She only remembered that she seemed to talk a lot after being drunk. All the words were spoken.But in what way did she say it, in what tone did she say it, and whether she told Yao Mi or Xi Jinnan, these memories are all chaotic.

However, even though she said the words, she didn't feel relaxed.She seemed to mention a lot of people, Nie Ranxi, Yao Mi, Xi Jinnan, Lu Pei, and the next thing that flashed in her mind was Xi Jinnan's icy expression, which seemed extremely angry, as if even the corners of her eyes were covered with frost.

In fact, Xi Jinnan's smile looks the best, as if the ice and snow have melted, his brows and eyes are very warm, calm and relaxed, with an appearance that is easy to discuss, and his charm value is soaring.However, the chances of her seeing this kind of expression are getting smaller and smaller recently. It seems that he has the most expressionless and calm expression on his face, and even the faint smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappears.

The clock was barely ticking 09:30, and she was suffering from a terrible headache, the ravages of a hangover.

The bedroom was quiet, Nie Ranqing glanced at the high heels, and walked out barefoot.

It was still quiet outside. Looking around, there was no sign of Xi Jinnan, not even a trace.Only the beautiful spider plant on the bay window of the living room is the only creature other than her, which is climbing around its territory.

She slept in a daze and confusion last night, and she didn't know whether Xi Jinnan left last night or just left this morning.Take out the phone, there is no text message, no phone call, the signal and battery are full.Nie Ranqing threw down her phone to pour milk for herself, thinking that it would be good if she could not see her face for the time being. According to past experience, if she and him had a fight last night, they would definitely be speechless today. The relationship between the two is on the verge of collapse. It is uncertain how long this cold war will last. This situation is so difficult that even Xi Jinnan himself may not be able to handle it.

It was a sunny day outside, and Nie Ranqing was thinking about how to pass the day.After quarreling with Xi Jinnan, she didn't want to stay at home alone, which would give her a feeling of being abandoned.

Looking back, after she and Xi Jinnan got married, there were very few entertainment programs.When it comes to watching movies, she and Yao Mi usually go together.As for shopping for snacks and buying daily necessities, there is no need to bother someone Xi.Her and Xi Jinnan's interests are very different, and this has started to appear since they came back from their honeymoon, but these seem to be no obstacles, usually you build your Yangguan way, and I am my single-plank bridge, if there is communication in the middle, it is nothing more than her Go and bring him a plate of fruit, or he calls her out for dinner.

Nie Ranqing finished packing and went downstairs.When he walked to the gate of the community, he saw Lu Pei and the guard asking questions. They met each other's eyes and were stunned for a moment.

The next moment, Lu Pei walked over a few steps and stood still.With a tall body covering his sight, he lowered his eyes to look at her, hesitated for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Believe it or not, I didn't come here specially to find you today. A friend also lives in this community."

Nie Ranqing hummed.

He looked at her face and said, "didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I slept very well."

Lu Pei nodded and said, "I've already divorced Nie Ranxi."

When he said this, his tone was calm, revealing a sense of relief.Nie Ranqing was stunned, and said oh, but then he was speechless.

"Where are you going now? Let's find a place to talk if we are free?"

"Aren't you going to visit a friend?"

"Not in a hurry."

Five minutes later, the two sat in the teahouse opposite the community, each with a cup of hot tea.

Nie Ranqing didn't know what to say to him.In other words, she is not in the same mood as when Lu Pei just returned to China.Just like a cup of hot tea, after a long time, it will gradually cool down.

Maybe it was because when he just returned to China, she was obsessed with an answer he had given back then.Now that the answer has been obtained from Nie Ranxi, the rest becomes less important.

Lu Pei was also silent, and it took a long time before he said lightly: "Nie Ranxi went to England early yesterday, and no one sent her off."

"Ah."

"Next week I'm leaving to go to work in Hong Kong."

Nie Ranqing looked up at him.His eyes were deep, but he just explained a simple sentence: "A classmate of the senior brother is over there. The senior brother thinks that I am suitable and recommends me. I have already agreed."

Nie Ranqing digested his words for a while, and said in a low voice, "I wish you a smooth journey in advance."

The two were silent again.

"You..." Lu Pei hesitated to speak, but said, "Do you hate me?"

"Of course it used to be, but now..." Nie Ranqing held the teacup, not wanting to look at his expression, "Actually, you shouldn't have kept it from me. Even if your parents asked you to marry Nie Ranxi, you told me back then , it’s better than asking Nie Ranxi to tell me now, even if I couldn’t accept it and refused to forgive you at the time, it won’t be like this now.”

Lu Pei sighed softly.

"At that time, my parents originally wanted me to be with you, but then Nie Ranxi got seriously ill first, and then jumped off the building. If this is the case, my parents told me the next day that the company has successfully passed the difficulty, and Nie Ranxi took it. My parents pressured me, my elders wanted me to compromise, I... I really didn't know what to do at the time."

Nie Ranqing smiled: "Nie Ranxi said that she was seriously ill, so you believe it? What kind of illness can she get to force her to get married? Can she still go to England?"

Lu Pei slowly organized his words: "This is all arranged by her. Going to England is not for medical treatment, but for concealment. She has a classmate who chased her from high school all the way to university. He is the son of the director of that hospital. , From Nie Ranxi’s hospitalization to his discharge and then to the UK, he intervened. Later, he went to the UK not only because he wanted to leave, but also because that classmate went to the UK. He could help her hide the truth, including taking medicine and changing it , and go to the medical examination on time."

Nie Ranqing smiled again: "It's really complicated, so why did she go to England this time?"

Lu Pei was silent for a while, but still replied: "Go and find that person."

Nie Ranqing withdrew his smile, and commented blankly: "What a lunatic."

After a while, Lu Pei spoke softly again.

"Married her, you weren't here. In fact, even the ceremony was in a hurry. Although we were planning the wedding when you were planning the wedding, everything was simple except for the wedding dress and ring. I didn't expect you to get married in a fit of anger. Your mother suppressed you Looking at my mother, my mother gave me work again. I promised so quickly. I have never regretted it so much. It is so regrettable. I didn’t expect that Nie Ranxi would record what I promised, and neither did I. I've never been able to get myself into a situation where I can't explain it. You probably never noticed that I never wear a ring on my ring finger."

Lu Pei clasped his fingers and took a deep breath.

He raised his head again and looked at her with deep eyes, as if hiding a thousand words.

But in the end he didn't say anything.I just wished softly: "I hope you can live well in the future."

In fact, Nie Ranqing still has a lot to ask, such as you and Nie Ranxi have been married for three years, how are you doing during the period; for example, three years ago, did you ever think that you would regret it so much now; Liang, she just said a short sentence: "You are the same."

Lu Pei left soon after, leaving Nie Ranqing alone.She stayed by herself for a long time, until the outside was slightly foggy, and the street lights gradually turned on.During this period, she suddenly wanted to call Xi Jinnan, but she gave up after thinking about it.She still has no habit of disturbing him during his working hours, and it seems that she hasn't once.Besides, if the call does go through, what should I say?Are you still coming back for dinner tonight or are you still coming back to sleep tonight?The two of them are used to being subtle, and these questions did not exist before, and now the cold war is even more impossible.

When Nie Ranqing got home, Xi Jinnan still didn't come back.The phone and text messages were still not received, so Nie Ranqing threw the phone aside casually, and went to the bathroom to take a shower by herself.

In fact, generally speaking, there seems to be no harm in marrying Xi Jinnan so far.When she and Xi Jinnan went out, the cooperation should be regarded as a tacit understanding.They had a dismal start and a relatively uneventful finish, but that doesn't mean they lacked emotion.

Women are most attractive when they are serious, but men are fascinating when they are serious.This is Yao Mi’s exclamation after seeing a photo of Xi Jinnan being secretly taken in a post bar.Nie Ranqing forgot exactly what the photo looked like, but only remembered that Xi Jinnan's eyes in the photo were deep and focused, his lips were slightly pursed, meticulous, and his thoughtful appearance was very touching.Yao Mi became even more star-eyed. She read the following post to Nie Ranqing, saying: "If Xi Jinnan looks at a woman with this kind of gaze, the other party must die, and he died of a rapid heartbeat."

Nie Ranqing couldn't laugh at that time.

However, in her impression, perhaps Xi Jinnan was really afraid of being accused of a murderer, anyway, he seemed to have never looked at a lady with this kind of gaze.His eyes are usually casual, and those beautiful eyes don't seem to stay on anyone for too long.

Generally speaking, if Nie Ranqing wants to do something, if Xi Jinnan wants to object, he will not only directly deny it, but also use a tortuous route.He would praise her first, and then take advantage of her high spirits, and then turn the topic back with the sentence "But I think it might be better to do this way".

To put it mildly, it means to sterilize before giving an injection. No matter how tactful Xi Jinnan puts it, he still does it vigorously and resolutely.

Once Xi Jinnan wanted to change cars, so he sat on the bed and read car magazines.Nie Ranqing looked at it casually, and liked a white car. He pointed to it, and Xi Jinnan took a look. He neither shook his head nor nodded, but said, "It's pretty."

At that time, Nie Ranqing had basically figured out his implicit way of objecting. His lack of expression after he finished speaking meant that he didn't really appreciate it. Nie Ranqing squinted at him, and she didn't believe that he had nothing to say next.

Sure enough, he pointed to another dark blue car and said, "Actually, I think this one is pretty good."

Regardless of the color of the vehicle, Nie Ranqing was annoyed when he saw Xi Jinnan's noncommittal look, so he deliberately made things difficult: "Didn't it mean that this kind of car would be uncomfortable to drive?" Xi Jinnan pointed to another model: "You should mean This brand of car."

Nie Ranqing was even more annoyed. She leaned closer, grabbed his arm, and took out the magazine in his hand. When she sat back, she pretended to twist Xi Jinnan's arm casually, and then casually Turning over a few pages, pointing to another black car: "This one must be good, right?"

She just randomly turned to a page and casually pointed to a car that was pleasing to the eye. Since the price was ridiculously high, the car shouldn't be much worse.She just said casually that Xi Jinnan would not listen to the opinions of the masses anyway.

However, they were too close. Nie Ranqing had just finished bathing and was only wearing a low-cut silk pajamas. She lowered her head, revealing her fair neck and delicate collarbone, but she didn't realize it. She just felt that it had been a long time. There was no answer, so she looked up at him.

Xi Jinnan's gaze was already very deep, and moved down to an unspeakable place.This kind of gaze was so familiar that Nie Ranqing threw the magazine away immediately, and got into the thin quilt with a whoosh.

He tossed her hard the night before, causing her to be almost late for class, so Nie Ranqing was very alert and threatened: "Xi Jinnan, let me tell you, if you dare to come again tonight, you won't be called Xi Jinnan!"

She was able to wrap the quilt very tightly in a hurry, Xi Jinnan tried twice but failed, so his patience gradually ran out.He simply hugged her into his arms, but before Nie Ranqing had time to resist, his hand just went in along her back. Nie Ranqing was wrapped up in the quilt and couldn't break free, but in her helplessness, she thought of A word, cocoon itself.

In the blink of an eye, he had already removed the quilt and pressed it up. When Nie Ranqing regained consciousness, he was already trapped by him, and he blocked her nightgown when she wanted to speak out. He also piled her nightgown on her chest. Breathing lightly at the corner of her mouth, she smiled happily: "My name is not Xi Jinnan, so what is my name?"

One of his hands hugged her softly, and the other moved irregularly. Nie Ranqing felt that her sanity was being burned out quickly. She fought back reluctantly, gnashing her teeth: "Pig!"

Xi Jinnan was full of smiles, kneading one hand leisurely, then slowly sliding down, passing through the sensitive area caused her to tremble a series of times, he smiled very hatefully, with malicious coaxing: " Hmm? What's my name?"

Nie Ranqing was tortured to the point of madness by him. She aimed at his chin and bit it hard.

The taste is so good that she just doesn't want to let go, and her limbs are trapped by him, so she can only move her mouth.As a result, when she let go, Xi Jinnan provoked even more wanton teasing.Nie Ranqing was so regretful that he couldn't move freely, so he continued to say: "Wolf pig!" Then he didn't forget to explain, "It's a wolf and a pig!"

Xi Jinnan was overjoyed, and still refused to let her go. Nie Ranqing even thought he was addicted, but heard him ask: "What's my name?"

His deliberate exploration with evil taste almost made Nie Ranqing want to cry, but he still asked over and over again, Nie Ranqing was forced to bow her body in his hands, her mind went blank like an explosion, she almost wanted to scream screamed, but in the end had no choice but to succumb to the evil forces: "Husband."

Then he just smiled lowly, and she didn't even have the strength to resist, and let him drive straight in.

They were looking at the car, but it went wrong.On the weekend, the two went to the car dealership, but what Xi Jinnan bought was the black car she pointed at last that night.She asked him why he didn't buy the dark blue one, and Xi Jinnan's explanation was: "You don't like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just..." She couldn't say it, but I just wanted to turn against you, and it had nothing to do with the car.

He said: "Choose what you like." Then he added in her ear, "Our wife is the first."

"..."

This happened when they were married for about two years. In fact, it was not that long ago, but Nie Ranqing felt that it was very far away.Probably a lot of things have happened recently. Not only have people gained knowledge, but even time has become longer. Those rare and harmonious scenes have recently been left behind.

She soaked in the bathroom for a long time, and didn't come out until she was a little dizzy.It was already very late, and Xi Jinnan hadn't come back yet.

She faintly felt uneasy and was anxious to find Xi Jinnan.Nie Ranqing called, but it was a soft female voice: "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."

Nie Ranqing groaned and leaned on the sofa with her forehead supported.

She was sure that Xi Jinnan was losing his temper.

Recently, she has been in a low mood, and Xi Jinnan's temper seems to be getting worse, and her patience has also become less.He is usually stingy with his words, and he will never say two words if he can solve it with one word, and his words are even less these days.

But she couldn't find him, so she couldn't do anything.

When the hour hand pointed to eleven o'clock, Xi Jinnan still hadn't come back.Nie Ranqing tossed and turned on the bed alone, unable to fall asleep at all.She likes to think wildly, and Xi Jinnan disappears without saying hello, which makes her feel angry and uneasy.With her eyes open, she lay on the pillow, her face squeezed flat.

The night outside the window was like water, with a faint moonlight shining in, which reminded her strangely of the past again.She slept well since she was a child, and adults said that she slept well without heart and lungs, but when she was a child, she did not know how many times arrogant and domineering she was now, and she was even very active in high school.At that time, she was pure-minded, indeed heartless.As long as Nie Ranxi is not seen, she will smile very happily.And because she can basically get everything she wants, she doesn't cherish it.When other top students were immersed in studying hard, she drew Lu Pei's smiling face according to the clear impression in her mind.

So when many things were lost at once, Nie Ranqing began to suffer from insomnia day by day.So she believed even more in the words of the adults, that only the heartless can sleep well.

When she was newly married, she often had nightmares. Although she and Xi Jinnan shared the same bed in those days, they were always back to back, until one day, she woke up again with her hands on her chest.That day seemed to be the turning point of their stiff relationship, Xi Jinnan hugged her, talking about some unimportant things, and she slowly relaxed in those cold jokes that couldn’t be laughed out, and then turned off the lights, they maintained that position until dawn .

Nie Ranqing had to admit that she did find a few days of good sleep in Xi Jinnan's arms.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had the impulse and courage to say something to Xi Jinnan face to face.Although she hadn't sorted out these things, she was sure they were important.

She opened her eyes and thought about it all night, until the alarm bell rang at dawn, her impulsiveness and courage gradually wore off, replaced by anger.

She would report to him if she went out, but he disappeared for a day without saying a word.The phone didn't make any other sounds except the alarm. Nie Ranqing frowned and glanced over, too lazy to make another call.

The day passed by the next day, she was still alone in the house, and Xi Jinnan still had no news.Nie Ranqing followed suit and went to bed without dinner.I slept until midnight, and when I woke up, the space next to me was still empty.Nie Ranqing completely admired Xi Jinnan, and imagined a hundred ways in his mind to deal with him when he came back.

She got out of bed to find food, and just opened the bedroom door when she smelled cigarettes.

She was sensitive to the smell of smoke, and her heart skipped a beat.The living room did not turn on the light, Nie Ranqing looked downstairs, and after getting used to the darkness, he finally saw Xi Jinnan.

He seemed to be sitting on the sofa, because there was a faint light flickering in that place, as fragile as a stream that was about to stop flowing.

Nie Ranqing walked slowly. Although she couldn't see the other person's expression clearly in the dark, she felt that he was staring at her non-stop.She admired herself very much for walking very safely under his watchful eyes.

She stopped far away from him, thoughts flashing through her mind one by one, but she didn't say a word.She pursed her lips and looked at him, Xi Jinnan moved a little, but remained silent.

This kind of silence was particularly painful in the darkness, and Nie Ranqing felt that his back was slowly tightening inexplicably.

"Ran Qing," Xi Jinnan's voice sounded after a long time, and sounded exhausted, "Let's get a divorce."
