Chapter 10 Who's Right and What's Wrong
When she and Nie Ranxi were one year old, the Nie family moved here. Before the unmarried man and the woman were married, no matter whether Nie Ranqing and Nie Ranxi's birthday party was big or small, whether they were at school or at home, Lu Pei's appearance was always indispensable. At first, he just participated, smiling quietly in the crowd, but later it became companionship. It's just that people are different every year, and their birthdays are passing year by year, and the twenty-year-old Lu Pei stands beside Nie Ranqing as a messenger to protect the flowers, but now he is standing side by side with Nie Ranxi.
Some memories always come out from time to time to torment the mind, Nie Ranqing remembered that when she celebrated her birthday in the past, Lu Pei always had a way to conjure up the gift she had been longing for, and then she was very satisfied to see Nie Ranqing's surprised and moved expression.
At that time, she was still young, her parents provided her with food and clothing, and Lu Pei provided her with a promise of ideals, she thought that Lu Pei was half of her sky.
When happiness reaches its peak, it always feels unreal.
The candle was blown out by the two sisters together. The lights in the house came on again, and Father Nie smiled kindly: "Dad wishes you sisters a happy birthday." ”
Thank you Dad. Nie Ranqing turned his head to look at Xi Jinnan, he gave her a smile back, and then took out a palm-sized, dark green small velvet box from his pocket.
The surface of the square velvet box was very delicate, and Nie Ranqing could almost certainly believe that it was some kind of extravagant bracelet inside. However, when Xi went on a business trip to the south, they had already bought a lot of jewelry, although no one would dislike their treasures more, but Nie Ranqing was still very puzzled.
His palms were facing up, the golden ribbon on the velvet box flashed, and Xi Jinnan's words were encouraging: "Open it and take a look." ”
Rao is Nie Ranqing has seen a lot of jade artifacts since he was a child, and he can't help but snort at this moment. A white to pure bracelet, without a single blemish, the surface is smooth as if it has been smeared with a layer of mutton fat, and it is smooth and cool to the touch.
It's the first time she's seen such a superb Hetian jade.
Mother said that she would give you this bracelet after three years of marriage, and it was almost there," Xi Jinnan's eyes were as bright as stars under the night sky, "Baby, happy birthday." ”
Nie Ranqing also smiled, thought about it, looked at his father, mustered up enough courage, stood on tiptoe, and gently dropped a kiss on Xi Jinnan's cheek.
Xi Jinnan was only slightly startled, then his smile deepened, and he took out the bracelet and put it on for her.
His movements are meticulous, as if he is performing a solemn ceremony. When this scene happened, the surroundings were very quiet, but Xi Jinnan didn't realize it, just looked down to see the effect, and the corners of his mouth raised shallowly: "It's not bad." ”
Nie Ranqing's afterglow glanced at Nie Ranxi, her blue skirt was like a blue sky, and a decent smile hung on the corner of her mouth, without a trace of flaws.
The room was silent for a few seconds, and no one spoke. Suddenly, Lu Pei spoke, his voice was very soft, and he pointed to a corner of the living room: "Dye green, I remember that you like orchids very much." Two days ago, I passed by the flower shop and saw that this pot of phalaenopsis was in bloom, and the flowers were blooming beautifully, I think you should like it, small gift, I hope you have a happy birthday. ”
At some point, a pot of phalaenopsis orchids was placed there, and the flowers were not far from them, and the flowers were all in full bloom, and the white petals were like wings flying gently, graceful and elegant.
She looked at the flowers carefully from top to bottom, and her heart felt like someone was being pinched fiercely, without mercy. Three years ago, when she was about to celebrate her birthday a month away, she pulled Lu Pei's sleeve hard to hint to him, hoping to receive a pot of phalaenopsis on his birthday.
It's just that it all changed very quickly.
Now, in front of Nie Ranxi, in the presence of everyone, he looked directly at her and said to her: "I passed by the flower shop a few days ago and saw a pot of phalaenopsis, and I thought you should like it. ”
Nie Ranqing didn't know whether this was glorious or sad, she didn't feel happy at all in her heart, she couldn't even feel the schadenfreude when she saw Nie Ranxi's face turn white in an instant.
The past is the past, no matter how mean Nie Ranxi is, she is right.
Long pain is better than short pain, Nie Ranqing looked at Lu Pei's slightly expectant eyes, and felt very cruel when he thought of what he was going to say next.
She smiled: "Thank you, the flowers are very beautiful, but Jinnan doesn't like white flowers, I received your wishes, and I can't accept this pot of flowers." Lu Pei's pupils contracted sharply, and the last smile on his face finally stiffened and faded until it disappeared.
Nie Ranqing opened his eyes slightly.
When Nie Ranqing and Xi Jinnan left home, it was already full of lights. Xi Jinnan was still smiling when he said goodbye to the Nie family's parents, but when they returned to the car, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Nie Ranqing sat in the car, looking at his face carefully, not even daring to come out. Xi Jinnan's thin lips were pursed, and the corners of his eyes seemed to have a faint anger. He drove the car fast, and Nie Ranqing watched him go around one speeding vehicle after another, and he didn't dare to speak loudly for some reason, so he had to hold on to his seat belt in silence.
Time has come a long way. The car was unusually quiet, and the wind whistling outside the window could be heard.
The drive, which was originally less than two hours, was cut in half by Xi Jinnan. The car finally stopped at the door of the house, and Nie Ranqing breathed a sigh of relief. Unbuckled her seat belt and was just about to get out of the car, when she suddenly heard Xi Jinnan calling her.
She looked back and saw that his hand holding the steering wheel was tight, loose, loose, and tight, and his thumb was slightly cocked, stroking the bewitching patterns round and round. He took a deep breath, looked at the trees outside the window, and said each word very slowly and clearly: "Nie Ranqing, when did I say that I don't like white flowers?."”
The unusually calm tone made Nie Ranqing suddenly think of the calm before the storm. Xi Jinnan rarely spoke in this tone, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Nie Ranqing snorted and didn't know how to explain, only to hear him continue: "Nie Ranqing, do you think that as long as you can make Lu Pei uncomfortable, you can use anyone as a shield?"Do you feel that you have lied a little too much this time?”
His car was gone.
Nie Ranqing stood outside the house for a long time, Xi's car into the south had long disappeared, she looked at the time on her phone, sighed, and went to touch the key in her bag.
She just wanted to be quiet now, but ** suddenly sounded.
Nie Ranqing sighed again, picked it up, Yao Mi's voice was very excited: "Are you a**?."The results of this semester's scientific research projects are good, and Director Gao has won an exceptional award this year, sponsoring several people from our department to go to the south for two days, do you want to go?”
Nie Ranqing asked weakly: "When are you going?"”
The plane the morning after tomorrow. Have you been in any hurry lately?If not, let's go together, I haven't been to Lijiang since I'm so old. ”
Nie Ranqing thought for a while: "Okay." ”
Okay, that's it, I'll hang up first. ”
Wait a minute, I have something to look for you now, don't sleep for a while, wait for me to pass. ”
Thirty minutes later, Nie Ranqing stood at the door of Yao Mi's house, looking depressed: "I'll sleep with you tonight." ”
Yao Mi blocked the door: "Then you can only squeeze a bed with me, my bed is not as big as your house." Wait, why is your face so bad, shouldn't you quarrel with Xi Jinnan?- Did I really get it right with a crow's mouth?”
Nie Ranqing was lying on the recliner of Yao Mi's house, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Yao Mi handed over a glass of water, and looked at her expressionlessly with her arms crossed: "Don't be sad about spring and autumn, it's still summer." What happened to you and Xi Jinnan?”
Nie Ranqing knew that this question was inevitable before he came, and immediately read out the abdominal manuscript that he had just typed in the taxi word for word.
She knew that Yao Mi would definitely poke her forehead after hearing this, so she preemptively moved the recliner three feet away before she finished the last sentence.
Yao Mi couldn't poke her fingers, and looked at her in frustration: "You're still fainting, it's really useless." What about the mouthpieces you usually play with me?Where are you running now?Nie Ranqing said curtly: "Psychologically, I have been bullied by her since I was a child, and I have always been powerless to fight back. ”
It's up to you to say that. ”
(Tips: The full text ** can be read by clicking on the card at the end of the article).
Nie Ranqing even raised his eyebrows: "I didn't come to you to listen to the scolding." I've done all the stupid things I've been saving for half a year in the past two days. ”
Yao Mi squinted at her: "You also know that you are doing something stupid." I've been a smart kid since I was a child, but the more I get older, the more demented I get. ”
It's my dementia, so what do you say to do?”
Yao Mi sat on the sofa and pointed at Jiang Shan: "Tonight, you call Xi Jinnan a ****, just say that you are here with me, don't let people have a good meal." ”
I've just texted. ”
Let you call ** to probe his tone, how do you know what his expression is when you send a text message?”
I have to take a text message to probe his tone first, and then see if I want to hit **. ”
You directly said that you were afraid that he wouldn't pick you up**, how long have we known each other, and you still play this with me. Hey, I was so surprised by what you just said, I always thought that the kind of person Xi Jinnan has always been the master who does not eat fireworks in the world, and he can be so atmospheric with you, Nie Ranqing, you are really capable. ”
Can you miss me a couple of sentences?”
Did he get back to you?”
Not yet. Yao Mi waved her hand helplessly: "Forget it, I'm sleepy and went to sleep." Toss it slowly, you two. ”
Until Nie Ranqing got on the plane, she had no contact with Xi Jinnan. Xi Jinnan's text message that night only returned the next day, extremely concise: Hmm.
There wasn't even a full stop, a text message with only one word.
Nie Ranqing looked at the phone and vomited blood.
Nie Ranqing has always been worried in her heart, and even stepping on the beautiful new land has not made her feel better. A group of three men and three women, Nie Ranqing originally planned to sleep with Yao Mi, but another girl said that she didn't want to sleep alone in the hotel, Nie Ranqing was depressed and didn't want to disturb others, so she offered to have a room of her own.
She came out this time with very little cash, but she had both cards with her. One was a black card scavenged from Xi Jinnan, and the other was her own savings card.
During the day, a few people go out to travel together, and at night, the three girls go to the small shops with characteristics on the street. Three girls in one play, always talking and laughing when they are together. Nie Ranqing was not upset at this time, but when she returned to the hotel, she was lying on the bed and rolling around, looking at the dark patterns on the pillow by the moonlight, she sighed faintly.
She turned over again, took the phone on the bedside, unlocked it, and the bright light squinted her eyes, and there was only a little boy on the screen who was smiling heartlessly at her.
She has been here for two days, during which she only sent Xi Jinnan a text message to her destination, but Xi Jinnan did not reply a word. The last ** in the communication record was the phone call between her and Yao Mi that night.
Xi Jinnan was so blatantly cold war with her, which made Nie Ranqing at a loss. She and Xi Jinnan have never had such cold faces. From marriage to the present, the two have quarreled only a handful of times, and each time they must be reconciled within a day. Xi Jinnan's endurance is notoriously good, and every time he quarrels, Nie Ranqing basically opens his eyes alone, while Xi Jinnan reads the newspaper gracefully.
If someone laughs heartlessly at you when you're angry, you'll get even more angry. Xi Jinnan's leisurely expression can make Nie Ranqing angry every time, as if she is singing a one-man show alone from beginning to end. But once she held her breath and wanted to shout, Xi Jinnan would pinch the time to look at her, and her dark eyes were as calm as a deep pool.
But this glance can always magically make Nie Ranqing swallow his anger back again.
After walking too much during the day, Nie Ranqing finally fell asleep.
I didn't sleep well this night, and Nie Ranqing had several dreams. She dreamed that Xi Jinnan was inside the elevator, she was outside the elevator, she rushed over, but she still watched the elevator close little by little. Xi Jinnan looked at her expressionlessly, with a faint detached look, as if he was glad that he had finally gotten rid of her.
This dream made Nie Ranqing panic for no reason, and sat up suddenly, only to find that it was already dawn. She took her phone in a daze and looked at it, and there was still only a little boy on the screen who was smiling stupidly at her.
Two days later, Yao Mi came to see her, blinking her pure eyes and putting her chin in the palm of her hand: "You're all here."
One, two, three, four, five days, right?”
Nie Ranqing pretended not to understand what she meant.
Yao Mi then made a diagnosis: "The resentment is too heavy, Yintang is black, his hair is messy, tsk, like a female ghost." ”
Nie Ranqing kicked over angrily: "You are a female ghost, your whole family is a female ghost!."”
Yao Mi laughed breathlessly: "You almost didn't post a 'I have irregular menstruation, I have endocrine disorders' on the door of my head." What's the matter, and for whom is it haggard?”
Get lost. Another day later, when Yao Mi came over to ask Nie Ranqing to go out for dinner together, she saw her appearance and teased again: "Okay, Nie Ranqing, I found that people's potential is really huge." You can actually endure it for so long, according to your appearance, the masochistic kung fu has also learned five percent from Xi Jinnan, right?”
Nie Ranqing continued to maintain a lying posture weakly: "Please praise me for being a proud protégé of the psychology teacher, thank you." ”
You just go and apologize, and I won't kill you. ”
He doesn't reply to my text messages, what if I really call him and he doesn't answer?”
When did you still want to save face?!”
Nie Ran Qingyi didn't hear it.
Six people settle dinner at a Sichuan restaurant. Because it was the last dinner before leaving, everyone let go of eating and drinking. The male compatriots made the atmosphere very lively, chatting about the past college life in full swing, Nie Ranqing lay on Yao Mi's shoulder and laughed, and suddenly felt the mobile phone buzzing, she signaled and walked out.
Holding the mobile phone in her hand, she noticed that it was Xi Jinnan's **. Nie Ranqing paused, and while walking to a secluded corner, he connected: Hey?”
The noise here is still a little loud, and there is obviously a pause: "In **?."
Nie Ranqing replied obediently: "I'm having dinner at a restaurant." ”
Sounds like a good game over there?”
The tail note rises slightly, as if it were an inquiry. Nie Ranqing, who was originally relieved, frowned almost invisibly at this time: "It's okay, it's just that there are more mountains, more water, and fresher air, which is generally better than T City." ”
Xi Jinnan hummed: "So you can't think about it?"Huh?”
His last "um" made Nie Ranqing feel like a little sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and he couldn't escape from the palm of the hunter's hand no matter how much he escaped, and freedom was just a charity for him, so he couldn't help but retort, and his voice was a little loud: "It's okay, I want to stay a few more days anyway." ”
Really?Even if he couldn't see it, Nie Ranqing still raised his chin: "Yes." ”
Excuse me, when are you going to come back?”
It's still the tone of the bland narrative. This tone suddenly made Nie Ranqing feel inexplicably angry, and his voice became a few points colder: "I don't know yet, let's talk about it." ”
