Chapter 292: Empathy

The early spring rain poured down incessantly, and the raindrops drew a weaving trail in the dim street lights. A dark green Chrysler Wrangler emerged from the dark rain fog and came to a halt with a creak in the aperture under the streetlight.

The door opened, and a tall, muscular young man bent out of the cab, and the sudden drop in temperature outside the window made him shiver, and hurriedly put the hood of his raincoat over his head.

Closing the car door, raising his wrist to look at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock in the night, the young man frowned slightly, I don't know if the guy who was used to going to bed early and getting up early has fallen asleep? Is it appropriate to go to her now? After all, it is not the same as before......

The rain outside the window was like smoke in a hazy light, and Xiao Nan leaned on the dim head of the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at the moment.

Although Huzi didn't interpret Xia Longfei's sudden return more, her intuition told her that things were definitely not that simple.

Xiaoting's birthday is within a few days, Xia Longfei has always remembered it clearly, and sent the birthday gift through international mail early, if he didn't come back to China specifically for Xiaoting, then at least, it must be one of the important reasons.

He said that he was like a righteous gentleman, never entangled in anything, and blessed forever...... It's a liar at all, once a week across the ocean international long-distance call, every three or five times an email, what kind of thoughts you have in your stomach who can not guess, everyone is not a child......

Thinking that this veritable "rich and handsome" plus Xueba was going to rush back to compete with him for Xiaoting, and he didn't even dare to reveal his true identity, if this was a competition with Xiaoting as a prize, then he would have lost before he started - regardless of family background and academic talent, just this girl's body is destined to lose the qualification for the competition......

Xiao Nan's mind hadn't been so entangled and painful for a long time, as if time had gone back to the night a few months ago, when Xiao Ting wanted her to decide whether she would date Xia Longfei or not......

Dangdangdang...... There was a knock at the door, which was very clear in the quiet hallway.

"Who?" Xiao Nan asked. There was almost never a knock on her door during this time period, including the landlord.

"I'm here, Huzi. "Familiar voice.

It's so late, why did this guy come here from me? Xiao Nan was stunned, didn't he go to send Xia Long to fly home? Why did he run from the Eastern District to the South Third Ring Road, and it was still raining so far away......

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Nan got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked to the small living room outside, and asked Huzi through the door.

"Also...... Nothing important......" Huzi's tone was a little hesitant. "If you're already asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow......"

Huzi turned around and was about to leave, but the door behind him was opened with a click, and the sound of opening the door alarmed the automatic voice-activated lights in the corridor, when the lights came on, Huzi saw Xiao Nan wearing a fluffy pajama pants printed with cartoon lynx patterns, standing behind the door with her hair scattered, and the half-open door panel covered her small half of her picturesque and delicate face.

"Come in, I haven't slept yet. Xiao Nan said lightly. Even Huzi, who is not good at observing words and feelings, can see that she is in an extremely bad mood at the moment.

The small ceiling lamp in the bedroom is lit, except for a few women's clothes hanging on the wall, Xiao Nan's room has almost no girl's atmosphere, and the furniture is as simple and tidy as in the past, nothing more.

"Sit down. Xiao Nan pushed the computer chair (the only chair in the bedroom) towards Huzi, and then gently sat on the edge of the bed and pulled a pillow to hug it, staring at Huzi's face with a pair of cat-like round almond eyes. "Just say anything, it's not too cold for you to run so far in the rain......"

Huzi looked at Xiao Nan for a long time, shook his head, sighed softly, took out two small paper bags from the pocket of his stormcoat and threw them at Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan stretched out his hand in the air and took a look, it was two delicately packaged small bags, and the English printed on them should be chocolate, but the brand had never heard of it. "What?" she asked.

"Fried Snickers, do you dare to eat it?" said Huzi.

"Why don't you dare?" Xiao Nan angrily tore open the package, took out a short thumb-thick, pasted batter and fried beyond recognition from it, put it to his nose and smelled it, and a rich olive oil mixed with milky flavor came to his face.

"This thing is a high-calorie food, so be careful to get fat after eating it. Huzi said with a smile as he tried to lighten the dreary atmosphere in the room.

"Who are you scaring about, I'm afraid of being fat?" Xiao Nan glanced at Huzi contemptuously, took a big bite with a click, and chewed it carefully, which really had a unique flavor.

"Because I already brought you chocolates when I came back last time, this time I asked Xiaolong to change the taste, I didn't expect him to buy this. Huzi said: "That's why the British would come up with the bad idea of putting Snickers in batter and throwing it in the pan to fry it......

"Actually...... It tastes pretty good......" Xiao Nan commented while tasting it: "It's just a little tired, if it's hot, it may taste much better." ”

Huzi watched Xiao Nan fill his mouth with fried Snickers one by one, and the corners of his mouth turned up and he laughed cheaply. "I've heard that many girls tend to overeat to relieve stress when they encounter too much stress, which seems to be true. ”

Xiao Nan glared at him, and said vaguely while chewing in his mouth: "You don't come, I know that you kid is a night owl who comes to the house and has nothing to do, let's say, why did you come to me in the middle of the night?"

"The little dragon is back. Huzi said meaningfully.

"You told me on the phone. Xiao Nan put on an attitude of indifference. "What does it matter to me when he's back?"

"Pretend, you just pretend, I don't know you yet, unless you work overtime, when do you not sleep after ten o'clock at night, I think you are obviously worried." Seeing that Xiao Nan was still holding on, Huzi directly exposed her.

Xiao Nan was silent when he heard this, and his hand slowed down when he took out the Snickers frame from the bag. "I want you to take care of ......," she said lightly, biting her lip.

"Of course I'm going to take care of it!" Huzi suddenly jumped up from the computer chair and strode over to Xiao Nan.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Nan looked up at the tall tiger in front of him, and his almond eyes were round.

"I'm your dog-headed military advisor!" Huzi patted his chest hard: "At this time, of course, I stepped forward to give advice to my brother!"

I don't know where Huzi's words came from, Xiao Nan only felt that his nose was sore, and the sight in front of him suddenly became foggy, so he hurriedly turned his face to the side and lowered his head slightly, blocking his eyes with the thick sea of flowing sea in front of his forehead.

This is not the first time that Xiao Nan has learned the sensitivity and fragility of girls from herself, as a former boy, she has no way to resist this emotion, but she also never likes to let others see that she is completely manipulated by hormones, especially someone like Huzi who knows her past.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Nan barely calmed down, raised his head, hooked the broken hair in front of his forehead behind his ears with his fingers, and forcibly pretended to be a three-no face with no waves, and said to Huzi lightly: "Then ...... Let me hear your opinion. ”

Huzi sat back on the computer chair, cocked Erlang's legs with a big grin, habitually took out the cigarette case and just wanted to open it, when he saw Xiao Nan's slightly frowning look and stuffed it back into his pocket.

"Xiaolong's temporary return to China this time is for Xiaoting's birthday. Huzi said with great certainty. "Although this guy was issued a good person card by Xiaoting, he actually never gave up at all. ”

"I know. Xiao Nan said. "What's so strange about that? Aren't many people like this? When I was in college, the love letters I wrote to Fei'er for you were returned more than a dozen, and you didn't succeed in the end?"

"So you got worried when you heard about it, right?" asked Huzi. Xiao Nan was speechless, turned his face sideways and avoided Huzi's eyes.

"I don't want to talk too much nonsense with you, just pick the most important ones. Huzi suddenly put on a solemn expression, leaning forward and staring at Xiao Nan's fluttering eyes. "Look at me!"

"What are you doing...... Xiao Nan reluctantly turned his face back, looking at the handsome face in front of him with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes a little weakly.

"How long have you been with Xiaoting?" Huzi suddenly asked.

"It's probably been more than two years...... Xiao Nan replied. "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"How well do you know Xiaoting's character?" Huzi asked again.

"It's like knowing myself. Xiao Nan replied confidently.

"Well, now I'll ask you a question, and you must think about it and answer me truthfully. Huzi said and moved the chair forward, and his body approached Xiao Nan even closer. "Let's make an analogy, if you are Xiaoting, you are the one who encounters a racing accident and is a high paraplegia below the thoracic vertebrae, and you are the one who was rescued by your boyfriend to restore your health, and your boyfriend almost lost his life to save you, and finally became a girl although he did not die...... Now is the most confused moment in his life, he doesn't know how to face his transformed identity, and he doesn't know how to go on his future life path...... At this time, let you abandon him and fall in love with another boy with better conditions, you ...... Can you do it?"

Xiao Nan was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said softly, "I can't." ”

"That's right!" Huzi slammed his fist into the palm of his hand. "Since you can't do it, with your understanding of Xiaoting, do you think she can do it?"

"Xiaoting, she ...... She can't ...... either, Xiao Nan's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange look.

Huzi smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly he stood up from his computer chair, stretched and yawned. "Okay, now that you've figured out the key to this, I don't have anything to worry about, it's not early, you go to bed early, I have to go home and sleep quickly......"
