half thorns, half joy

Facing Xu Ningyu's invitation, Ye Nan agreed without much hesitation.

This may be an opportunity, she can just take this opportunity to explain everything to Xu Ningyu clearly.

The two made an appointment at a restaurant near the aquarium.

Ye Nan was worried that Zheng Yifan would misunderstand her relationship with Xu Ningyu, so she didn't tell him the truth.

She told Zheng Yifan that Jing Jing asked her to buy some cosmetics and send them back.

Ye Nan thought about the hard work of the little assistant during this time, not only to take care of the official account, but also to take care of the kitten, so she also planned to give her a set of cosmetics.

Ye Nan seemed to have no intention of saying: "I may not be able to come back for dinner in the evening. You know, it takes time for girls to choose things."

Zheng Yifan expressed his understanding, and Wen Sheng told her to pay attention to safety, and to call him in advance if she came back for dinner.

Ye Nan was a little embarrassed to let the patient starve, "How about I make dinner first before going out."

Zheng Yifan quickly waved his hand and refused: "It really doesn't need to be so troublesome, I just order a takeaway."

Ye Nan thought for a while, but didn't insist on her own idea anymore, instead she reminded Zheng Yifan to avoid taboo foods when ordering takeout.

When Ye Nan came to the restaurant he had appointed, he immediately saw Xu Ningyu sitting and waiting.

Xu Ningyu was wearing a light blue casual suit, still as handsome as ever.The sharp-eyed Ye Nan noticed almost immediately that several waiters were sneaking glances at him.

Soon, Xu Ningyu also saw Ye Nan, and immediately walked over to take her to the booth.

He greeted with a smile: "Xiao Nan, long time no see."

Ye Nan also smiled: "Long time no see."

Xu Ningyu handed Ye Nan the menu and asked her to order first.

Ye Nan had a lot of things hidden in her heart, she only glanced at the recommended dishes on the menu, and her finger landed on a picture of one of the set meals.

"This one, thank you."

Xu Ningyu was keenly aware of her alienated attitude, his eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.

After placing the order, the two communicated like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and each talked about the recent situation.

Xu Ningyu said that his friend's crew was filming in the aquarium, and invited Ye Nan to play there, "If you are interested, I can take you into the set to have a look."

Ye Nan suppressed her curiosity and politely declined: "Farewell, I will not disturb their work."

"Just take a look, how could it be an interruption?" Xu Ningyu smiled kindly, and changed the subject, "By the way, you have been in Japan for a while, how do you handle your work?"

Ye Nan quickly replied: "I handed it over to the assistant to manage it, it doesn't matter."

"You haven't bubbled up for so long, I thought you were missing. By the way, don't blame me for getting your address from Jingjing, it was all my idea."

Hearing this, Ye Nan couldn't help slandering Jing Jing a few words, but she remained silent on the surface.

"It's okay, it's not a secret. We are friends, so we can play together naturally. It's just that Jingjing is too noisy, and I've been very busy recently, so I don't have time to accompany her, so I didn't call her over."

From the very beginning, Xu Ningyu approached Ye Nan under the banner of being friends.

He neither confessed nor did anything beyond friendship, Ye Nan couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while.

However, her heart only belongs to Zheng Yifan.

Ye Nan knew that she had to make this point clear to the other party, so she simply brought up the fact that she came to Japan for Zheng Yifan.

"Xu Ningyu, you are very kind to me, and you are a very worthwhile friend."

Ye Nan carefully considered the words and sentences, trying to make her tone appropriate so as not to hurt the other party.

At least don't make the atmosphere between the two of them awkward.

Xu Ningyu was stunned for two seconds when he heard the opening remarks, and then returned to normal, quietly waiting for Ye Nan's next words.

It is like a prisoner who has committed a mistake and is waiting for the trial of the judge.

Ye Nan didn't want to give him a chance to speak, so she quietly sped up her speech: "Anyway, there are some things I have to tell you clearly. In fact, I have someone I like, and I still like him now."

"I can feel that he is gradually liking me too. If there is no accident, one day I will touch his heart, and then the two of us will be together."

Ye Nan's half-truths and half-false words were very frank and cruel enough.

Xu Ningyu didn't speak for a long time after listening.

Anyone could tell from his expression that he was sad.

Xu Ningyu's eyelids drooped, and he murmured softly, "So it's like this..."

Ye Nan suddenly couldn't bear it, but unfortunately she could only choose this way.She knew in her heart that she was destined to live up to this sincere feeling.

She admits that she is sorry for Xu Ningyu, but that's the way things are with relationships, there is never a principle of first come first come first.

It doesn't mean that whoever pays more will get more rewards.

Of all the things in the world, feelings are the only thing that usually doesn't play cards according to common sense.

Ye Nan opened her mouth in great confusion, trying to comfort the other party with a few words, but before a word could be squeezed out of her throat, the phone rang first.

She looked down and found that it was Zheng Yifan who was calling, so she stood up without hesitation and walked aside to answer it.

Zheng Yifan's clear voice came from the microphone: "I didn't mean to disturb your shopping, but I really can't find the razor you bought last time."

Ye Nan remembered after a while, and hurriedly said: "I put it on the empty space behind the TV to charge it, it must have been fully charged, you should quickly unplug it."

"Oh, no wonder I can't find it anyway." Zheng Yifan suddenly realized, "What's the matter with you? Have you picked out everything?"

Ye Nan paused, and said in the usual tone: "It's almost there, I'll go home after I buy it."

"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yifan followed Ye Nan's instructions to find the razor.

When he was shaving, he was still thinking that the smart razor Ye Nan bought was quite easy to use.She did what she said, and she really took care of every aspect of his life in every possible way.

Zheng Yifan looked at the mirror for a while, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Can he give Ye Nan a surprise?
In the past three months, Ye Nan has been so kind to him, his heart is both moved and guilty.

However, he has no great skills, only cooking skills can barely get on the table.

Why don't you just cook a western meal for Ye Nan yourself.

Ye Nan grew up abroad, so she must like steak and other foods.

Zheng Yifan made up his mind and immediately went to change his clothes and prepare to go out.

Restaurant on the other side.

Ye Nan returned to the booth, and saw that the two of them only took a few mouthfuls of food.

It seemed that neither of them was in the mood to continue eating.

Ye Nan sighed silently, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I'm sorry, I have to go home. He...he called me just now."

Xu Ningyu was shocked, his eyes widened unconsciously, "You? You two..."

"... Already live together?"

His heart was faintly sour, and countless bitterness welled up in his throat, forcing him to finish a sentence with great difficulty.

Ye Nan's original intention was to make Xu Ningyu give up, so he readily admitted.

"His leg was injured, and I've been taking care of him recently, of course we're going to live together." Ye Nan lowered her head and stuffed her phone back into her bag, "I'm not worried about him staying home alone for too long, so I'll go back first. "

"Thank you for inviting me to dinner today."

Ye Nan looked up at Xu Ningyu, with gratitude and apology in his eyes, but he didn't have the emotions he wanted.

Being stared at by such eyes, Xu Ningyu's breathing was inadvertently out of rhythm, followed by an indescribable heartache.

He opened his mouth with difficulty: "I'll take you back, let's go a little further."

Ye Nan was taken aback, before he could speak, he saw Xu Ningyu showing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Also, if you want, can you tell me about him?"

Now, Ye Nan's evasive words couldn't be uttered.

She replied in a low voice: "Okay."

Xu Ningyu came to Japan to meet Ye Nan, so the hotel he booked was not far from her rented house.

The two happened to be on the same road.

Zheng Yifan didn't expect that he would meet Ye Nan on the road just when he came to the supermarket to buy some vegetables.

Just as he wanted to feel the wonder of fate, he saw that the man beside Ye Nan was getting closer and closer.

Zheng Yifan frowned, subconsciously dodged to the side, and used the leaves of the green plants on the side of the road to cover his figure.

Xu Ningyu and Ye Nan walked all the way, Ye Nan didn't take the initiative to speak, it was all about him asking about Zheng Yifan.

Including the meeting and acquaintance of the two, Zheng Yifan's personality and other information, he can basically get a general idea from Ye Nan's mouth.

At the same time, he also understood that Ye Nan really really liked Zheng Yifan.

In Ye Nan's description, Zheng Yifan is a unique existence.

And Xu Ningyu has no position to defend himself.

He likes Ye Nan and hopes that Ye Nan can be happy.If that person is good enough to her, he will sincerely bless her.

Before saying goodbye, Xu Ningyu couldn't help but said to Ye Nan: "Xiao Nan, I really like you. Before I find the next person I like, if I still have a chance, please tell me."

Ye Nan didn't expect that Xu Ningyu still refused to give up easily, and was still so sincere to her.

After a long time, Ye Nan nodded, "Okay. But I hope you will find your happiness as soon as possible."

Zheng Yifan didn't hear the rest of the conversation between the two, but just listened to it vaguely, and suddenly overturned the jar of old vinegar in his heart.

The sour smell overflowed, and even the surrounding air smelled bad.

Zheng Yifan angrily took the ingredients home, put it in the kitchen sink, then ran to the sofa and sat down and started to sulk.Even my legs started to hurt, and I couldn't take care of it.

It wasn't until this moment that Zheng Yifan really realized that Ye Nan never lacked people's love.

It's just that she likes him, so she desperately came all the way to take care of him.

But he always turned a blind eye to the other party's contribution, and also covered his heart with a black cloth, so that he couldn't see clearly.

He seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff with his eyes tightly closed, even if he accidentally took a wrong step, he would be crushed to pieces.

From then on, Ye Nan had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Zheng Yifan felt a strong sense of crisis.
