The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 9
Nie Ranqing returned to Nie's house the day before her birthday.She stood at the door with Mother Nie and saw the car slowly approaching. Nie Ranxi rolled down the window and waved towards her with a smile.

Nie Ranxi has always shown people a decent manner.Stepping on the high-heeled shoes, Nie Ranxi stepped out of the car after arranging her skirt a little. She was wearing a white skirt to outline her beautiful figure.

Nie Ranxi liked white since she was a child, white scarves, white skirts, white shoes, and white schoolbags.As long as her grape-like dark eyes rolled around, others would have to secretly applaud her.In Nie Ranqing's eyes, Nie Ranxi has always been as long as she wants, she can get it.

Nie Ranxi came over, and Lu Pei locked the car behind her.She stepped forward to hold her mother's arm, her eyes were still bent, and her words were still soft: "Mom, it's too hot outside, let's go in quickly."

Nie Ranqing turned around, and Lu Pei happened to walk beside her.The two were so close, his shirt was only a foot away.Nie Ranqing suddenly felt his heart stop beating, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

When he returned to the living room, Xi Jinnan was following Father Nie downstairs.He was slightly surprised to see her sweaty face, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, and asked, "Is it hot outside?"

Nie Ranqing took it over, and instead of answering, asked, "Why have you stayed up there for so long?"

Xi Jinnan looked at her and smiled slightly: "The study is quieter and cooler."

Everyone sat in the living room, Nie Ranxi and Lu Pei sat side by side on a separate sofa, Nie Ranqing and Xi Jinnan sat next to each other, Nie's mother and Nie's father sat next to Nie Ranqing and the others.Nie Ranqing held the cup and said nothing.

It's a pity that it's impossible to keep silent.Nie Ranqing heard her mother say to her: "Summer is here, why are you getting whiter and whiter? It's even whiter than the last time you came back. Haven't you been going out recently? You should exercise more when you are young. How can you do it at home? You will suffer when you are old."

Nie Ranqing didn't want to say more, but nodded obediently.She picked up the cup and wanted to drink water, when she suddenly heard Nie Ranxi say: "Mom, I bought a few gadgets two days ago, and I think Ranqing is more suitable for me to wear. Ranqing, why don't you go up and try it?" "

Nie Ranqing paused, raised her face, and smiled like her: "Okay."

"Ranxi," Lu Pei said suddenly, Nie Ranqing turned to look at him, but he hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "It's okay, go up, let's have a good chat."

The gadgets Nie Ranxi was talking about were only small in size. If they were exchanged for real gadgets, it would probably be more than enough to buy a store.Nie Ranqing was sitting by the bed, looking at all kinds of gemstones that she poured out of the delicate bag and rolled onto the bed sheet, transparent, deep red, dark blue, orange, all shining brightly .Nie Ranqing smiled sarcastically: "Nie Ranxi, you should keep such a valuable 'bauble' for yourself."

Nie Ranxi smiled slightly: "I see that after you and Jin Nan got married, your clothes are the same as before. You don't see any jewelry when you go out. If you want, you can choose whatever you want."

Hiding needles in cotton has always been Nie Ranxi's way of speaking.Nie Ranqing was about to get angry, but held back, and said coldly, "I don't lack these, but I don't like to show off."

"You don't need to be polite. There are so many styles, there is always something you like, isn't there?"

"Don't make a gifted expression, it's ugly. So many gems are placed in front of me, do you want to show me that you have a good life recently?"

Nie Ranxi was still smiling: "I've always had a better life than you, so I need to show off?"

Nie Ranqing clenched her hands tightly.Long time no see, Nie Ranxi is more calm and sophisticated, she is still not her opponent: "Nie Ranxi, don't think you really won everything. Believe it or not, as long as I want, as long as I want, I can get Lu Pei from Take it away completely from your side?"

"I dare say, you even want to strangle me to death." Nie Ranxi smiled softer, "I believe it doesn't matter, what are you going to do after taking Lu Pei away? Divorce Xi Jinnan and then get married with Lu Pei." Is Pei married? Don't you think it's a joke, and others will. Do you think they will allow Lu Pei to marry his sister first and then his younger sister? Stop saying such childish things."

"I can tell you very clearly that it was indeed because of me that Lu Pei broke up with you, and it was me who forced him to marry me. I thought about it day and night, hoping that Lu Pei would leave you, but God was helping me. Heh, can you imagine how I watched Lu Pei in a dilemma, walking back and forth? I was betting, I bet my wealth and life on Lu Pei, and the result was that I finally reached If you have lost your goal, Lu Pei breaks up with you."

"I really should find a mirror to let you see your expression now, dyed green." Nie Ranxi clasped his hands and smiled slightly, "I can tell you one thing, which is my compensation for you these years. In England When I got up in the middle of the night to drink water, I heard Lu Pei call your name in a daze, with that tone, obviously I have no love for you. But so what, even if I didn't get him, you didn't either Got, and can never be with him again, can't you?"

Nie Ranqing looked at her coldly, her heart getting colder and colder: "You are crazy."

Nie Ranxi smiled, and continued: "Heartache? But I'm really satisfied with the result. I don't need love, I just need you to live a worthless life."

Nie Ranqing's chest heaved violently, and when he saw the glittering jewels on the bed, he was so angry that he suddenly pushed all the jewels hard on the ground.

The gems fell on the wooden floor, and the dull sound was mixed with the clear ticking sound when the jewels collided with each other. They all knocked into Nie Ranqing's heart one by one. Thoroughly: "Get out for me."

Nie Ranxi looked at her, but walked to the balcony without saying a word, fiddled with the leaves of the mimosa, watched it slowly droop, her voice was still very soft, but her words were merciless: "You are still like this!" Impulsive, I have been married for so long, but I have not made much progress. I said so much, just to tell you that more than two years ago, you thought you were about to win, but you still lost. Until now, you have not changed at all , do you think you're really strong? But I'm just talking, and you can't stand it like that. Nie Ranqing, let me tell you, you haven't known how to hide since you were a child, and you're asking for it if you suffer. Let me tell you, the one who destroys you is never someone else, only yourself."

"Enough!" Nie Ranqing closed her eyes, the reality was more urgent than expected, her hands and feet were cold, and she felt a little unable to hold on.She had never heard such blunt and cruel words since she was a child, and she had never seen Nie Ranxi like this.Every word Nie Ranxi said was torture.Her body suddenly lost strength. Nie Ranqing leaned on the wall and gasped for breath, feeling short of breath. Looking at Nie Ranxi's slim figure, her vision became more and more blurred. Suddenly, a white light flashed rapidly, and then her body became limp. down.

When I woke up again, it was sunset time.The lights in the room were not turned on. Nie Ranqing opened her eyes in confusion, tilted her head slightly, and only saw a tall and tall figure standing by the window.

The dim sunlight dyed the whole room.Nie Ranqing looked at his back, and something indescribable was slowly fermenting in his heart.She vibrated her throat slightly, and her pronunciation was a little hoarse: "Xi Jinnan?"

He turned his head immediately, and seemed to frown slightly in the haze: "Are you awake?"

He walked over quickly, turned on the light, touched her face, and his face softened: "Are you hungry? I only eat so much in the morning. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Nie Ranqing shook his head, looked at the watch hanging on the wall, and asked, "Have I slept for so long?"

"Yes." He breathed a sigh of relief, and changed into a faint smile, "Dad specially cooks for dinner tonight, saying it is to scare you."

"Really?" Nie Ranqing smiled embarrassedly, "I fainted..." The words came to his lips and swallowed, "Didn't my fainting scare Dad?"

"No, Dad is the calmest."

Neither of them spoke for a while.No one mentioned why she fainted just now, and no one mentioned what happened just now. Nie Ranqing watched him hold his hand, his fingers were slender and strong, and his full and round nails were a healthy color, although they were slightly cool , but at this moment it is strangely able to give people the power of stability.He was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he finally said, "Get up and go have dinner."

When Nie Ranqing and Xi Jinnan went downstairs together, Father Nie and Mother Nie were about to sit down at the dining table.Father Nie saw her and waved to her with a smile: "Come and sit by Dad's side."

Mother Nie looked at her and said, "I've slept all afternoon, but I still don't seem to be in good spirits."

Nie Ranqing touched his face and forced a smile.

Mother Nie went on to say: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's nothing to wrong yourself. I know you feel uncomfortable. Your sister went too far this time. Your dad and I just talked about her. This afternoon, Lu Pei's classmates heard that he I came back and held a reception banquet for him, the two of them went there together just now, and it will be just the four of us having dinner tonight."

Nie Ranqing had no choice but to withdraw her smile, and sat down with an "oh".

Nie Ranqing went back to the bedroom early after dinner.She regretted why she had to come back a day earlier. Every time she went home with Nie Ranxi, nothing good happened. This time it was even worse, and she fainted.Nie Ranqing was afraid of motion sickness on the road, so she ate very little breakfast before coming here. When she went upstairs with Nie Ranxi at noon, her stomach ached. The double mental stimulation made her lose consciousness in a hopeless way today.

She slept for too long in the afternoon, and now she can't fall asleep anyway, so she can only keep changing positions under the quilt.Xi Jinnan and Father Nie seemed to have endless conversations, when she just returned to her bedroom, she saw them sitting in the study, Xi Jinnan was concentrating on tasting the Biluochun brewed by her father.

In fact, Nie Ranqing breathed a sigh of relief because Xi Jinnan didn't go back to the bedroom.The lights were not turned on in the house, and she would rather be alone in the dark now.Thinking about Nie Ranxi's words at noon today, she felt as if her heart was tightly blocked by cotton, and she was very stuffy.She opened her eyes, a tear rolled down unconsciously from the corner of her eyes, and fell on the pillow, wetting a small piece.Nie Ranqing felt her throat trembling violently, trying to slow down her breathing, biting her lip to dare not cry out loud.

She hadn't shed tears for a long time, but at this moment, she really wanted to cry a lot, and it would be best to forget everything.

The current emotional injury is tantamount to a nightmare.I should really thank Nie Ranxi for letting her experience pain again.

Now that I think about it, Nie Ranxi should really apply for a negotiating expert. The topic was chosen so that people didn't even have a chance to argue.She is really a good sister, she has such a deep insight into her sister's painful feet, and every sentence hits the nail on the head.Today, Nie Ranxi's smile was as beautiful as a blooming rose, but every thorn in the secret pierced hard into the other's heart.The things that had been deliberately covered up were completely exposed to the air by her, revealing the unhealed scars without reservation.Nie Ranxi's words were genuine arsenic.

Nie Ranqing sighed, feeling that crying at such an age would be more useless than fainting.She lay on her stomach for too long and was about to turn over when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.She stopped immediately, the room was very dark, Xi Jinnan didn't turn on the light, but just groped to find the right position, and lay down very lightly.

She tried her best not to make a loud noise, but because she was lying on her side, her breathing was a bit difficult, and Nie Ranqing couldn't hold back in the end, sobbing loudly.

Xi Jinnan paused for a moment, then he leaned over and held her in his arms, his movements were very gentle, as if holding a treasure.

He stretched out his fingers to wipe away her tears.Nie Ranqing was a little embarrassed, she hadn't cried in front of him yet.She tried to tilt her head, but the tears fell even more fiercely.The parents' room was not far away, and Nie Ranqing didn't dare to cry loudly, but she couldn't help it later, big tears rolled down her eyes, Nie Ranqing was anxious and annoyed, and bit Xi Jinnan's pajamas in front of her .She bit it so hard that her pajamas were ripped and wrinkled all of a sudden.

Xi Jinnan asked softly, "Why are you crying?"

His voice is cool and soft, very soothing to the heart.Nie Ranqing shook his head and remained silent.

He paused and said, "Feel uncomfortable at noon today?"

Nie Ranqing tried his best not to let him find out that he was crying even harder.

Xi Jinnan sighed softly, sat up, and joined Nie Ranqing.He turned on the light by the bed, then hugged her a little tighter, patted her on the back while shaking her gently, as if comforting a frightened baby: "Stop crying, cry again tomorrow Eyes are swollen."

He murmured Weiming words, and Nie Ranqing gradually calmed down.She took a deep breath, and let go of the skirt that she had been clinging to. It was already dizzy, and she didn't know if it was tears or what.Nie Ranqing blushed a little: "Dirty."

Xi Jinnan looked down and smiled: "It's okay, just take it and wash it."

"...Can't you say you go to wash? Why must the man be the one outside and the woman be the one inside."

Xi Jinnan thought for a while, and said, "I seem to be not only in charge of outsiders, but also insiders. I cooked for you, and I even bought fruit for you."

Nie Ranqing pinched him hard: "Can you still cook?"

His voice raised slightly: "Oh? Then you don't even count your cooking skills? That's how it is."

There was a warm smile on his brows and eyes, which was very different from his usual cold face.Nie Ranqing looked at him in a daze, until Xi Jinnan smiled, pinched her cheeks, and wiped away a few tears hanging on her cheeks: "Why do you look at me like that?"

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head to look at the slender straps on his pajamas, Qi Sheng asked: "I have never been able to figure it out, what did you like about me then, why did you marry me like that?"

Xi Jinnan was startled, and said with a smile, "I don't know. Then what do you like about me?"

"I don't know." Nie Ranqing thought for a while, and then said, "No matter how good-looking you are, you can't be eaten."

"But good looks can bring economic added value."

Nie Ranqing burst out laughing.

Still smiling slightly, he leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth lightly, then turned off the light and said, "Go to sleep, it's late."

Xi Jinnan behaved well at home.The next day, she heard a rustling sound while half dreaming and half awake, and opened her eyes a little dazedly, and saw Xi Jinnan who was getting dressed.He turned around and noticed her, smiled, stretched out his hand to ruffle her already messy hair, and said, "Sleep a little longer."

Nie Ranqing closed her eyes again: "Mr. Xi is gone."

Xi Jinnan smiled: "Thank you. I also wish Mrs. Xi a good sleep."

But Nie Ranqing couldn't fall back asleep after waking up, and got up after staying in bed for a while.When she finished washing and went to open the door, she didn't expect to meet Lu Pei.

Nie Ranqing watched Lu Pei approaching, and wanted to go back to the bedroom after a pause, but he stopped him.Nie Ranqing hesitated for a moment, but stopped.

The two stood at the door, and the situation was a little awkward.Nie Ranqing was shorter than him, so standing together at the moment felt that his aura was too low.Lu Pei didn't speak, and she hated procrastination, so she simply asked, "What's your business?"

Lu Pei frowned, as if his brows had not been relaxed since she saw him again.His complexion is also not good, he seems very tired: "I apologize to you on behalf of Ranxi for what happened yesterday."

It is better not to say this.Nie Ranqing remained silent and did not respond.

"What Ranxi said yesterday may have been a bit extreme. I don't know what she said, but I can roughly guess it. I hope you can forget it and don't believe it all."

Nie Ranqing was expressionless.

After a while, Lu Pei said again: "If I'm free, I want to talk to you."

Her heart tightened, and she asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Talk about something that happened in the past, and what will happen in the future."

"What will we do next?"

His brows frowned deeper, and the dark clothes made his face paler. Finally, he took a slow breath, as if he had made up his mind: "I will divorce Ranxi within two months."

Nie Ranqing was stunned for a long time before returning to her senses, she laughed at herself, she didn't know how to answer him, she thought for a while, but she still didn't know what to say, so she just followed his topic: "Really?"

His answer was firm: "Yes."

"And then? What will you do after you divorce Nie Ranxi?"

Lu Pei looked at her deeply, as if he could always look into people's hearts: "I don't know, I want to know what you think. You and Xi Jinnan, you and Xi Jinnan are together, are you doing well?"

Nie Ranqing replied quickly: "Very good."

Lu Pei lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.Nie Ranqing waited for a while, then lost her patience: "Excuse me, please let me go, I have to go downstairs."

He seemed to wake up suddenly, startled slightly, and then moved away sideways.

These words exhausted Nie Ranqing's hard-earned energy.

Lu Pei asked her if she was doing well.

She used to have a joking discussion with Yao Mi, if an old friend asked you how you are doing now or how you are, or are you happy, how would you answer.Yao Mi said: "If it were me, I would say that it has nothing to do with you. This girl felt very happy when she had you, but she never imagined that she would be happier after leaving you."

At that time, Nie Ranqing looked at her coolly, and said, "It's indeed a girl, she's still a yellow flower."

So Yao Mi rushed forward and pinched her neck hard.

Unexpectedly, she actually answered such a bloody question now.What Nie Ranxi said yesterday is still echoing in Nie Ranqing's heart today. She just heard what Lu Pei said and felt hopeless.

He called her "Ranxi", and Nie Ranqing hated this title.

She had no future with him a long time ago.Nie Ranqing has been refusing to admit this reality until yesterday when Nie Ranxi mercilessly tore away her final fantasy.

I saw Nie Ranxi again at dinner.She changed her clothes, put on light makeup, and changed her hairstyle. She wore a dark green bracelet on her wrist, with a full smile on her face, her eyes were clean, and she stood with her hands folded, her expression as if nothing had happened.

Nie Ranqing watched her grit her silver teeth. She passed out yesterday, and she couldn't lose to her today.

Life is a live stage play.She has lived for more than [-] years, and she can't even meet the most basic qualities of an actor?
When she was cutting the cake, she and Nie Ranxi faced each other. Nie Ranqing made the first cut. When she handed the knife and fork to Nie Ranxi, after thinking about it, she pointed the handle of the knife at herself and handed the handle to her. her.

In fact, she wanted to throw it directly.She propped her chin with one hand and watched Nie Ranxi slowly cut off the rest, the ring on her ring finger was dazzling.
