cold lover

Chapter 12

When Tan Jizhong got home in the afternoon, Xiao Nuo had already come back, even dinner was ready.

Ever since he hung up Tan Yucheng's phone call in the morning, he has been tense.

I contacted several of Tan Qingchen's good friends, but they all said they hadn't seen him.Later, I drove to a few places that Tan Qingchen liked to go to, but I didn't see anyone either.

Tan Jizhong frowned, wondering where a penniless person could go.

I also blame myself for being too slow to react. I should have noticed that I didn't go there early in the morning when I sent Xiaoqi off yesterday. If I had gone back to the mansion to have a look at that time, perhaps these things would not have happened.

Tan Jizhong clenched his fists in remorse, and made the same mistake again, and let his closest relatives leave alone.

Pushing open the door, accompanied by the smell of rice, Xiao Nuo's familiar figure came into view.

Tan Jizhong's taut heart gradually warmed up, as if half of the heaviness in his heart had been lifted.

"I am back."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Nuo turned around, "You're back, did you find Xiao Chen?"

"Not yet, I don't know where he went?"

Seeing his anxious expression, Xiao Nuo couldn't bear it, "He's not a child, he's fine. Come over for dinner first."

Having shared the dormitory with Tan Qingchen for three years, Xiao Nuo naturally knew the level of Tan Qingchen's self-care ability, but now facing Tan Jizhong, he could only comfort him in a positive way.

"Ah."

Tan Jizhong slightly raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, fortunately, Xiao Nuo was by his side at the moment.

It was night, it was already one o'clock in the morning, Tan Jizhong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, not feeling sleepy at all.

It had been two days, and he had searched everywhere he could, but there was still no news of Tan Qingchen.

Tan Yucheng didn't know if he was angry or didn't want to disturb the old man, but there was no movement.

Tan Jizhong rubbed his brows, he really regretted not being able to take Tan Qingchen out of the mansion back then, that Tan Yucheng had a strong desire to control just like the old man.This time Xiaochen will be forced to behave like this, something must have happened.

Tan Jizhong closed his eyes, hoping that nothing happened as he expected.

Early the next morning, the editors of the publishing house blocked Tan Jizhong's door, begging him to go to the publishing house to discuss receiving the award and follow-up matters.

Looking at the back of Tan Jizhong who had no choice but to go out, Xiao Nuo frowned faintly. Last night, he was sleepless again.

After collecting the unfinished breakfast, Xiao Nuo went back to school.

Looking at the class address book in his hand, that's all he can do.

Xiao Nuo even dialed several people's numbers, but they all replied that they had never seen Tan Qingchen.

She closed her eyes again and thought about who Tan Qingchen was usually close to, and finally frowned and sighed softly, as expected, she couldn't help much.

It's also because he is usually too indifferent and doesn't have much interaction with other students in the class, and now he regrets it a bit.

In terms of intimacy, it was naturally the other two in the dormitory, but they were both from other provinces, so it was unlikely that Tan Qingchen would find them.

After reading the address book several times, Xiao Nuo finally stopped at one name, suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard him mention that he had an older brother in City A by chance.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Nuo dialed the number.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hong Wen, I'm Xiao Nuo."

"Xiao...Xiao Nuo?" Hong Wen dragged his voice and asked back. It was unbelievable that Xiao Nuo, who was indifferent and great, would suddenly take the initiative to contact him.

"Has Tan Qingchen contacted you?" Xiao Nuo ignored his surprise and went straight to the point.

"Ah..." Hong Wen changed from being surprised to hesitant.

"You know where he is right?"

"...Well, I know..." Hong Wen replied hesitantly.

Xiao Nuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Can you tell me?"

"...Xiao Nuo, you're embarrassing me a bit, Xiao Chen won't let me tell others that he's at my brother's place."

As soon as the words came out, Hong Wen wanted to slap himself to death, "Ah... no no no..."

"Don't be nervous, Xiaochen encountered something, I just want to help him solve it, so you can tell me with confidence." Xiao Nuo calmly persuaded.

Hong Wen thought for a while, "Then don't tell him that I told you."

Tan Qingchen was walking slowly on the road with a slant bag on his back. The setting sun cast a long shadow on him, making him look a bit lonely.

Thinking about the experience of being rejected by several companies today, Tan Qingchen couldn't help lamenting that it was so difficult to find a job. Let alone that he had no work experience, the fact that he could only work part-time for the time being had already given the interviewer a red card.

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Tan Qingchen shouted, "Let the misfortune come more violently."

"Xiaochen."

With such a familiar voice, Tan Qingchen froze and turned to look, "Nuo Nuo?"

Finally seeing him, Xiao Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Qingchen looked at Xiao Nuo, his facial features slowly wrinkled from surprise, and finally pursed his mouth, tears flowed out, "Nuo Nuo..."

The grievances of the past few days are uncomfortable, and he can force himself to endure it when he is alone, but now seeing Xiao Nuo, with someone he can rely on, he can't bear it anymore.

Tan Qingchen cried bitterly, sobbing and calling Xiao Nuo's name.It caused several other pedestrians on the road to look here with various guesses.

Xiao Nuo sighed helplessly, walked over and reminded, "Don't cry, it will be misunderstood."

Tan Qingchen looked at her side, stopped her voice immediately, wiped her face indiscriminately, grabbed Xiao Nuo's arm again, and begged with tears in her eyes, "I feel bad, you need to comfort me later."

Xiao Nuo chuckled, he was just a spoiled child.

The place Tan Qingchen lives in is much better than Xiao Nuo imagined.Two bedrooms and one living room, complete appliances, separate kitchen and bathroom.

Tan Qingchen's stomach growled as soon as he entered the door. After running outside for a day, he was very hungry, but he didn't have much money on him, and he couldn't bear to eat.

Seeing his distressed face, Xiao Nuo opened the refrigerator at his home, luckily there were still some eggs and noodles, and made him a big pot of egg noodles.

Tan Qingchen ate all his energy and praised Xiao Nuo's cooking skills.

Seeing him wiping sweat in long clothes and trousers, Xiao Nuo asked, "Isn't it hot to wear so much? It's easy to suffer from heat stroke in summer."

Tan Qingchen paused, and said with a smile, "No clothes."

It is true that he has no clothes, and the only clothes he wore when he came out of the mansion were sent back.

Xiao Nuo frowned at him, "Tan Qingchen, what happened?"

Hearing this question, Tan Qingchen couldn't eat anymore, raised her head, and her eyes started to turn red again.

"Nonuo..." He also wanted to confide in others, but he couldn't say it.

Tan Qingchen has always been straight-tempered, but now he hesitates to speak, Xiao Nuo must have something unusual happened to him.

Xiao Nuo lightly frowned, "Do you know that your brother is going crazy these few days."

"My brother..." Tan Qingchen lowered her head and was about to cry when she saw it, "Nonuo, don't tell my brother that I'm here."

Xiao Nuo was silent for a while, "Mr. Tan should be here soon."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Tan Qingchen couldn't care less about sadness, "My brother already knows?"

Just as Xiao Nuo nodded, the doorbell rang.

Tan Qingchen immediately jumped up from the stool, "This...so fast, no, I have to hide."

Seeing that he really wanted to hide, Xiao Nuo stretched out his hand reflexively to pull him, but he didn't want to pull his sleeve, leaving most of his left shoulder exposed.Xiao Nuo clearly saw the large unresolved red marks on his shoulders and back, his expression couldn't help froze.

Tan Qingchen hurriedly pulled up her clothes, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, her face was as red as a shrimp.

Xiao Nuo just looked deeply at Tan Qingchen, without questioning, he probably knew the reason why Tan Qingchen left.

At this moment the doorbell rang again, Xiao Nuo looked away, "Don't hide, I'll open the door."

Tan Qingchen nodded slightly, he was so ashamed that he wanted to die, Nuonuo must have guessed it.

Tan Jizhong had been pestered by the editors-in-chief of the publishing house all day long, until he received a call from Xiao Nuo in the afternoon, and then he patted the table impatiently and said that if he didn't let him go, then don't even think that he would go to the award-winning site. When people were still shocked in their mania, Tan Jizhong had already left the publishing house in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, Tan Jizhong walked towards Tan Qingchen.

Seeing his menacing aura, Tan Qingchen couldn't hold back, and tried to run back.

"Tan Qingchen, stop!" Tan Jizhong roared violently, Xiao Nuo who was beside him was startled.

Tan Qingchen didn't dare to move, and stood where he was. He thought that his brother would be angry, but he didn't expect to be so angry.

"Sure enough, I have grown up, and I feel that your brother is not the same thing."

"No, I didn't mean that..."

"What does that mean?" Tan Jizhong looked at him sideways.

"I...I just want to solve my own affairs." Tan Qingchen suddenly became angry.

"Solve it yourself, if you can solve it yourself, do you need to run away from home?"

"The only solution is to run away from home!"

Seeing his plausible appearance, Tan Jizhong was completely angry, slapped the table and shouted, "Do you really want to sever ties with the Tan family?"

Tan Qingchen was terrified, and hid behind Xiao Nuo, "No...it's not..."

"Mr. Tan, calm down." Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Xiao Nuo persuaded.

Tan Jizhong closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

In fact, he wasn't too angry, but his worries these days turned into anger after knowing that Tan Qingchen was safe and sound.

"Speak clearly today, Tan Qingchen."

Across Xiao Nuo, Tan Qingchen said to him, "I want to live alone..."

Tan Jizhong looked at him with sullen eyebrows for a while, "Tan Qingchen..."

"Yes, I know that I was pampered by you when I was a child, and now it is a joke to say that I want to be independent, but, but I just want to try once!" At the end Tan Qingchen stood behind Xiao Nuo Come out with a serious and firm expression.

"No."

"Why? Why did you say no without even thinking about it, and I'm really so unbearable?" With this feeling of being denied again, Tan Qingchen almost collapsed.

"You are just a student, what are you talking about being independent?"

"What's wrong with the student, Nuonuo is also a student, isn't he just living well by himself?"

"He's different from you!"

"We are different."
