The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 2
Nie Ranqing had a dream when she was sleeping at night. The dream was so long that she felt that it almost included all the memories of her and Lu Pei from childhood to adulthood.She dreamed that she was sticking to Lu Pei to go to school, to the store, and to climb mountains, until Lu Pei couldn't bear it and hid in the bathroom; she dreamed that she successfully squeezed out Nie Ranxi and Lu Pei to go to the cinema; Lu Pei told her that he wanted to apply for automation, and she wanted to continue the same class with him, so without telling the truth from all adults, he and Lu Pei applied for the same major in the same university; in April, crabapple flowers bloomed, and he and she walked under the tree , he lowered his head slightly, getting closer and closer until she couldn't help closing her eyes; later, she said to Lu Pei in her dream, Lu Pei, why am I so devoted to you, I will follow you wherever you go ?As a result, Lu Pei smiled cunningly, but his eyes were warm. He hugged her and smiled softly on her lips. A voice as warm as the sun sounded, and she heard him say: "I just want you to give up on me. You won't be able to run away."

The scene in the dream was very beautiful, but Nie Ranqing broke out in layers of cold sweat in her sleep, and kept shaking her head. She took a big breath, as if she was shouting silently, and she scratched desperately with her hands in a drowsy state. , faintly heard someone humming, and then she felt someone patting her cheek lightly, Nie Ranqing felt her mouth dry, and suddenly woke up, only to realize that it was a dream, and let out a sigh of relief.

The light at the head of the bed was on, and Xi Jinnan sat beside her, with clear eyes, reached out and touched her forehead, and asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Nie Ranqing nodded unconsciously, then shook his head again.Seeing that she had calmed down, Xi Jinnan got out of bed to fetch water.

Nie Ranqing took the cup and drank it down. When she raised her head, Xi Jinnan was looking at her thoughtfully.She looked at the alarm clock on the bedside, it was almost pointing to three o'clock, Nie Ranqing felt a little guilty: "I woke you up."

"fine."

Nie Ranqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything.

Then the lights were turned off, and the curtains blocked the noise and light outside. Nie Ranqing lay down again, trying to cultivate sleep, but unfortunately she couldn't fall asleep.

When Xi Jinnan woke up in the morning, Nie Ranqing lay on the bed in a daze, refusing to move, wrapped in the quilt and closed her eyes, muttering: "You can make breakfast, I'm sleepy."

Xi Jinnan looked at her expressionlessly: "No class today?"

"Two weeks, no." Nie Ranqing felt his eyes sore and swollen, and his voice lowered accordingly.

She was just talking about it, and planned to get up and make breakfast after spending another 10 minutes in bed, but Xi Jinnan really did as she said.

Nie Ranqing felt that Xi Jinnan had an unusually good temper recently.

She stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Xi Jinnan who was busy wearing an apron.When he lowered his head to cut vegetables, his eyes were calm and his profile was handsome. The morning sun shone in. Xi Jinnan stood in the kitchen, even his outline was a little golden.This scene is not common, and Nie Ranqing unexpectedly felt some kind of warmth in his heart.

Nie Ranqing looked at him, tilted his head and asked, "Xi Jinnan, where did you learn to cook?"

"Is this kind of thing still worth learning?"

Nie Ranqing looked at the ceiling speechlessly, and spit out two words: "Narcissism."

Before getting married, Nie Ranqing had taken a cooking class, although most of what she learned in the cooking class was not used after marriage.Xi Jinnan's eating habits are very weird. When he is at home, he seldom says that the food is not good, unless she cooks it badly or it is really hard to swallow.But when he went outside, he was very picky. Once Nie Ranqing went out to eat with him, and Xi Jinnan frowned at a plate of delicious dishes. Nie Ranqing was not at ease that day. Seeing this, he couldn't help but say: "If everyone was as difficult to serve as you, there would be no need for a hotel."

Xi Jinnan glanced at her indifferently, and said, "If everything in the hotel is done at the same level as at home, then there's no need to open it."

Nie Ranqing glanced at him, and what he said was clearly implying that the food she cooked was not good.She wiped the corner of her mouth and said slowly: "If you think my cooking is not delicious, you can make it yourself."

Unexpectedly, Xi Jinnan smiled slightly, looking at her as if looking at an angry child, and his tone was also with a slight smile, he said: "I married a wife, not a cook."

Nie Ranqing burst out laughing.

Xi Jinnan is always good at changing the subject.

Nie Ranqing felt that Xi Jinnan participated in such a rare tea, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea, and her ten fingers were stained with Yangchun water. She would feel a little sorry if she didn't express her emotion, so she took the initiative to tie Xi Jinnan's tie before going to work, but in the end A scratch was found on his neck.

The scratch was not big, but it was very prominent on Xi Jinnan's neck. Nie Ranqing looked at it and said nothing, Xi Jinnan noticed something strange, followed her gaze, touched his neck, understood, and smiled: "You Masterpiece last night."

Only then did she vaguely remember the scene of dreaming and scratching last night, and felt embarrassed again. Just about to say something, Xi Jinnan approached her and smiled ambiguously: "Fortunately, it's the neck, if it's on the face, if someone asks me what I did last night , how should I explain?"

Nie Ranqing pushed him back to his original position expressionlessly: "Go!"

After Xi Jinnan left, Nie Ranqing randomly took out a book from the study, intending to spend the day luxuriously and leisurely.

The cover and content of the "Bible" give people a sense of solidity, but it is a pity that Nie Ranqing didn't read a single word.She spread the book open on her face, lazily basking in the sun.

No matter when and where Xi Jinnan always likes to show others that he is sure of winning, Nie Ranqing scoffs at this point.But she really felt like a child in front of him, no matter what he did he seemed to have a better way than her.No matter how mature she is, she is not as shrewd and experienced as one tenth of him.Xi Jinnan is four years older than her, and the four rings are not for nothing. Every time Nie Ranqing teases her deliberately, she will be helpless in the end.Fortunately, the two seldom interfered in their respective lives, and Xi Jinnan always let her go.

He has never been quiet.Nie Ranqing once saw him talking on the phone with a normal face, and after hanging up, he went to the study without saying a word. She didn't pay attention at the time, but when she went to the study to clean the table the next day, she found a thick pile of paper on the table. Shocking cuts were scratched on the white paper by the pen.

Nie Ranqing suddenly had two different thoughts.The first one is that if he is so forbearing, he is actually self-abuse, right?Sad and hurting lungs, others can't see it; the second is, if she makes him unhappy one day, will he strangle her quietly in the middle of the night?

Nie Ranqing trembled all over, and was so frightened by her own conspiracy theory that she was speechless for a long time.

Generally speaking, when Xi Jinnan was at home, except for occasionally holding a cigarette in his hand, or pouring some wine with two fingers hooked to the wine glass, the time when he went home was basically not fixed, and occasionally made fun of her, but he was reluctant. He is a good man.Whatever Nie Ranqing was doing, he was noncommittal, he didn't care, she naturally had all the power.How to say that sentence, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.Now there are tigers in the mountains, but monkeys are still kings.

However, Nie Ranqing has all the power, but no money.At the beginning of their marriage, Yao Mi gave the ignorant Nie Ranqing a force-feeding education on life after marriage. She said: "At home, you can have no brains, image, and status, but you must not be without money. The economic lifeline is the lifeblood of the economy. Where there are people, there is an incomparably lofty status. As long as you get the money, it means that you have status, wisdom and image. And if you get divorced one day, you can still hold money to make your spouse. "

She said it well before, and she nodded while talking about Nie Ranqing, as well-behaved as a primary school student.When it came to the last sentence, Nie Ranqing couldn't hold back, and the saliva spewed out in a very beautiful arc, and it directly hit the serious face opposite him like a galaxy.

So after returning home, Nie Ranqing reached out to Xi Jinnan for all the bank cards like a wolf on the outside and like a sheep on the inside. Xi Jinnan raised his eyebrows, found a wallet and threw it to her. Lifting his chin, the words were still concise: "Here, all the belongings."

Nie Ranqing remembered that she was holding the wallet carefully, and couldn't believe that the process was so simple.That's why he trusts her?It had been less than five months since they had gone from strangers to husband and wife.

The next day, Nie Ranqing realized belatedly that he had been tricked by Xi Jinnan.There is a ghost with a card, and she doesn't have the password on the card!

Nie Ranqing angrily pulled out the cards one by one, threw them towards Xi Jinnan like a spiral, and said in a vicious voice while throwing: "I'll give you everything, you evil capitalist!"

Xi Jinnan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grasping every one accurately, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth: "Oh, don't throw it away... Really don't want to? I told you the password last night before going to bed. If you don't remember it, don't blame me."

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but Nie Ranqing's face turned red when he said it, and he smashed it harder.

Nie Ranqing basked in the sun until her heart became irritated. Finally, she sighed, threw the book aside, turned and walked out.

Lu Pei is back.

She was distraught by the news.

Plus hate itching teeth.

When I went to school the next day, as soon as Nie Ranqing entered, Yao Mi immediately rushed forward. She was wearing contact lenses, but she made a gesture of holding them up, her eyes were burning, and she looked at Nie Ranqing's face Go up and shoot, and ask: "You are listless, did you fight until dawn last night?"

Yao Mi's mouth was unceremoniously pulled from both sides by Nie Ranqing: "What are you talking about? This is a school, I know you always know everything, but you should also pay attention to the influence."

Yao Mi leaned forward resolutely, took Nie Ranqing's arm and said, "I have dark circles under my eyes, what happened?"

Nie Ranqing rubbed around his eyes, feeling a little anxious: "Really? I didn't sleep well all night, and my complexion is so bad?"

Yao Mi laughed and said, "I'm lying to you, I really believe it." Then she suddenly became mysterious, "Hey, guess who I saw last night?"

Before Nie Ranqing could speak, Yao Mi herself became excited and said, "Oh my God, did you know? I saw my first love, and he is also in this city. Everyone is dragging their families, and children Can run. I almost didn't recognize him at the time, considering his formerly thin frame, and looking at his now fat toilet belly, I am so glad I broke up with him at that time."

"Mizi," Nie Ranqing sat back in her seat, looked at her with her chin in high spirits, and smiled, "I also saw my first love."

"How is it possible, isn't your first love Lu Pei?"

"That's right, Lu Pei is back."

Nie Ranqing said this lightly, as if he was talking about where to eat tonight.Yao Mi carefully looked at her expression, and asked, "Why are you so calm?"

Nie Ranqing said: "Otherwise, what else can I do? He has been my brother-in-law for two years, and I can still find him in front of him and ask him to divorce? If only he was really willing to do so. When I saw him, he smiling happily."

Yao Mi said: "Nie Ranqing, you really should find a mirror to reflect your current virtue. You hate him so much, don't you. Stop laughing, it's like crying, it's really ugly."

Nie Ranqing said coolly: "I think it was enough for me not to pour juice on him. If it were you, what would you do?"

Yao Mi quickly replied: "Fortunately it wasn't me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Okay, don't think about it, isn't it just Lu Pei? Seeing your gloomy appearance now, go shopping with me later. A friend of mine just gave birth to a daughter, I have to buy a gift, by the way, when you and Xi Jinnan are going to have a baby, I will be a godmother."

"I didn't hear what you said."

"Yeah, when I didn't say it."

In the afternoon, the two went shopping together. Nie Ranqing called Xi Jinnan in advance and told him that he would go home later.Yao Mi was looking at her inquisitively when she hung up the phone.

"Why do you see me like that?"

"You know how to call home. It seems that you don't completely dislike Xi Jinnan now."

"When did I despise him? How dare I despise him."

"You were not like this a year ago. At that time, let alone calling, you didn't even want to go home. On the first wedding anniversary, you hid at my house for most of the night until Xi Jinnan came to the door, have you forgotten?"

Nie Ranqing had no attitude: "I don't remember. I am forgetful. No, how could this happen? You clearly remembered wrongly. What shall we have for dinner? Spicy crayfish?"

Nie Ranqing didn't come home until 09:30 in the evening. After taking a shower, she went to the living room. She and Xi Jinnan each occupied the two ends of the sofa and did not disturb each other until someone called.

Nie Ranqing glanced at the collection three meters away, and didn't want to move, so he touched Xi Jinnan with the tip of his toe.The latter glanced at her, Nie Ranqing raised his chin, and tapped the phone on the coffee table from a distance.

A second later, the mobile phone was delivered to him.Nie Ranqing was about to take it, but Xi Jinnan took it away with his backhand, and nodded his lips with the other hand, looking at her with a half-smile.Nie Ranqing was speechless: "I won't pick up the phone." After speaking, he was about to leave.

Xi Jinnan grabbed his wrist: "Dad is calling."

Nie Ranqing was stunned and looked down at the screen. It was indeed Father Nie.

Although he lives in a neighboring city with his parents, not far away, and is not too busy on weekdays, Nie Ranqing does not go home very often, basically once a season, and the phone is as stable as a schedule. Six times, no more than 15 minutes each time.The number of calls from Nie's parents is even less. Even if they call occasionally, it is often for some trivial matters that Nie Ranqing needs to help, and the conversation time does not exceed 5 minutes.

So at this time, father Nie suddenly called, and Nie Ranqing had a bad premonition.

Waiting for it to be connected, it really came true.

Father Nie said, "Ranqing, your sister is back from England, you come back, let's get together."

What should come is still coming.She knew why and asked, "Is it just my sister?"

"Lu Pei is back too, but they seem to have had an argument. Your sister is sulking. Do you want to talk to her?"

"No, Dad, Jin Nan asked me to get him some clothes, but he forgot to take them before taking a bath, so I hung up first."

Nie Ranqing put the phone to her ear, and was in a daze, not knowing what to think, when she suddenly heard Xi Jinnan's voice: "When did I go to take a shower?"

Nie Ranqing was taken aback, and when he realized it, Xi Jinnan had already continued to flip through the magazine: "Whenever I go home, I don't take a shower first. You all know this habit, and lying is not perfect."

Nie Ranqing bit the bullet and continued to write: "You can come back late, if you come back late, the bath time will be late."

Xi Jinnan smiled: "Continue?"

"No, I'm going to sleep."

Xi Jinnan laughed behind her, and then the surroundings fell into darkness.

The next morning, before Xi Jinnan went out, Nie Ranqing still told him: "Father said that Nie Ranxi is back, let's go back."

He kept his eyebrows still, and looked very ordinary: "Well, let's go this weekend, are you free?"

"I've always been rich with time."

Xi Jinnan kissed the corner of her lips lightly: "Okay, you can buy some gifts tomorrow, and we will go back on Saturday morning."

Xi Jinnan is used to being orderly, and Nie Ranqing has been taught by him in this regard since he got married.Nie Ranqing has been married to him for three years, and he has never seen him helpless in any situation.Nie Ranqing once tried to figure out Xi's psychology, but in the end, he fell into the quagmire like a cow, a stone was knocked in, and he couldn't even hear an echo.

Xi Jinnan seemed to be indifferent to her usual actions, he rarely commented on her actions, but if Nie Ranqing really asked him for help, he would often come up with a very suitable solution to help her solve it.This makes Nie Ranqing very satisfied, so every time the problem is solved, Nie Ranqing will become extra attentive, serve tea and water like a dog, and cook sumptuous meals, and his mouth is also very sweet, while Xi Jinnan is often Gladly accepted.

But she still didn't understand why Xi Jinnan married her at that time.He never explained, and she didn't ask much at the beginning, but when she wanted to know, she couldn't find a good opportunity.

Once she finally plucked up the courage to ask him: "Xi Jinnan, why did you marry me?"

She thought this question was very serious, but it was a pity that she chose the wrong time.Xi Jinnan came back very late that day, and closed his eyes soon after lying on the bed. Nie Ranqing sat beside him and waited for him to answer.

She didn't expect him to answer in detail, she just wanted to ask him that day.She hoped that the person she was leaning over to look at would suddenly open his eyes, and then look at her with piercing eyes, and give a very romantic, bloody, or boring answer, but in the end Xi Jinnan muttered, Before she could hear him clearly, he quickly fell asleep, leaving Nie Ranqing alone to mourn.

When Xi Jinnan made arrangements to accompany her home next weekend, Nie Ranqing suddenly had the urge to run away.She even prayed that Xi Jinnan would have a sudden business trip on weekends, just like the occasional missed appointments that happened in the past; or that the highway would be closed due to hailstorms; or that she would suddenly have a fever, just like when she was a child before an exam.It's a pity that nothing happened, and the weekend came so plainly, Xi Jinnan put all the presents she bought into the trunk, and then they drove on the highway just like they used to go home every time.

Nie Ranqing made special preparations before departure, even her fingernails were carefully polished. Xi Jinnan looked at her and asked amusedly: "Isn't it going on a blind date, why do I need to go back to my mother's house like this? This dress is very energetic. Did you buy it new?"

Nie Ranqing didn't want to say much: "Yes."

He laughed loudly: "Could it be that you bought it specially for going home?"

Nie Ranqing was noncommittal.

In order to go home this time, Nie Ranqing took great pains.Two days ago, she dragged Yao Mi to the beauty salon, shopping malls and specialty stores, and replaced all her shoes, clothes and handbags with new ones, but Nie Ranqing couldn't help being discouraged when she looked at herself in the mirror.

There are many things that appearance cannot make up for, such as temperament, such as personality.Nie Ranxi was only born 2 minutes earlier than her, but she is much more beautiful, mature, and gentle than Nie Ranqing.Nie Ranxi has always been a role model in everyone's hearts since she was a child, and she is also extremely dazzling among the crowd.

Standing in front of everyone with Nie Ranxi, who is so popular, is one of the things that Nie Ranqing worries about the most.Nie Ranqing remembers that when she was young, an aunt saw them and said, "Xiaoxi is getting more and more beautiful, but she is too thin. Does your sister take away all the delicious food? Look at your sister's strong appearance, her face are rounder than you."

When you describe a girl, using words like strong and round face is definitely not a compliment to her.Nie Ranqing looked at the smiling elder bitterly, and gritted his silver teeth.
