Chapter Twenty-Three: A Chance Encounter with the Dead

The air conditioner in the car was turned off after Qi Xiaoran got into the car, Chen Tezhu was worried that the air in the car was too stuffy, and there were a little gaps in the windows on all sides, and when the car started, a lot of wind sounded.

Qi Xiaoran took off the big towel on her body and stacked it on her thighs, the knitted jacket still dripped, she glanced at the water droplets that fell on the high-end leather seat bag, and raised her hand to take off the coat, but was held down.

The scorching heat passed through the palm of her hand to the back of her cold hand, and she looked up for some reason to meet a pair of eyes as clear as black jade.

Xiang Nuanyang looked at her deeply for a long time before slowly withdrawing his hand, his fingers touched her soaked coat, which was stained with a lot of wetness, and frowned slightly, "Take off your coat." ”

"Hmm. ”

Qi Xiaoran didn't think about it, he took off his heavy wet coat three times by two, and just about to put it on his lap, he was reached out to Nuanyang to pick it up, and then he saw that he was like a trick, and suddenly there was a black blazer in his hand.

"Put it on first, don't catch a cold. ”

"Thank you. She thanked softly and took the blazer and put it on herself.

Xiang Nuanyang waited for her to put on her coat before Shi Shiran opened his mouth and asked, "How did you make it look like this?"

"I slipped and fell into the fountain. She kept her head down, her wet hair pressed against her fair and delicate neck.

Xiang Nuanyang glanced at it inadvertently, and subconsciously reached out to brush her hair, and his fingertips gently rubbed her skin, the slightly cool and smooth touch made his heart tremble slightly.

"Hmm. He withdrew his hand and looked as usual, "Fang Ning still lives with you?"

Qi Xiaoran bowed slightly, and folded her hands on the towel, "However, I heard her mention it before, and I will go home in a while." ”

"By the way, Mr. Xiang, why did you come?" this question, she was confused from the beginning, and she didn't remember to ask it until now.

"You didn't reply. ”

Hearing this, she looked up in a daze, unsure if he meant what she understood.

Chen Tezhu observed the way his boss and Qi Xiaoran got along, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was going to be cold in the next second, so he turned his eyes slyly and glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Mr. Xiang, tonight's delayed entertainment is at seven o'clock, counting the time on the road and the time in the traffic jam, we may be about ten minutes late. He stopped at a red light and interrupted the conversation with a business reminder.

Xiang Nuanyang squinted his eyes, glanced at the time on his watch calmly, and did not say anything about Chen Tezhu's slightly meaningful approach, and replied with his chin.

Qi Xiaoran turned his head to look at Nuan Yang in shock, if it was inferred from Chen Tezhu's words, he was here to pick him up, so he postponed the entertainment time?

"Mr. Xiang, why are you ......?"

Xiang Nuanyang didn't wait for her to finish asking, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "It's okay to come." ”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you look so embarrassed. ”

Qi Xiaoran was stunned for a while before she realized that this was his black humor, but at this time, she couldn't laugh.

She is deeply aware that she really often has trouble in front of him, and even if it is not embarrassing, it is definitely not a normal state.

Such a layer of realization made her feel more and more discouraged.

When Chen Tezhu heard his words, he was also stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he secretly said in his heart: Mr. Xiang really doesn't know how to chase girls, he even dares to say this kind of thing in front of him, it's hopeless!

As soon as the car came to the outside of the Shuanghuyuan community, Qi Xiaoran asked Chen Tezhu to park the car on the side of the road and walk back by himself.

Xiang Nuanyang acquiesced to the car parked outside, but when she got out of the car, he also got out of the car with her.

"Mr. Xiang?" she turned around and saw Xiang Nuanyang walking towards her, "Mr. Xiang, you still have entertainment at night, hurry up, don't delay time for me." ”

"Out of the way. Xiang Nuanyang came to her side and stretched out his hand to tighten her coat for her, "Chen Tezhu has a misunderstanding of time, and his time calculation is wrong. ”

"You don't have to care. ”

Qi Xiaoran looked at him as if he didn't understand, and felt that his eyes were not the same as the usual coldness, and there seemed to be a rising sun in them, which could make people feel a little warm.

"Let's go, I'll take you upstairs. Xiang Nuanyang put one hand in his pocket, raised his right hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and led her forward.

"......" Qi Xiaoran under his touch, her brain was completely shut down, the hot temperature passed through the layers of fabric to her skin, the cold and the hot temperature collided, causing the pores on her body to open slightly, a lot of goosebumps, the heartbeat was even more violent, and the rhythm was unprecedentedly fast, just like the night of the power outage.

She followed Xiang Nuanyang's footsteps while secretly praying that her exaggerated heartbeat would not be heard by him.

They walked into the community and came to the downstairs of the apartment where she lived, and when they were about to take out the access card to open the door, the door opened from the door, and a familiar figure came out of it, carrying a huge black plastic bag in his hand.

"Hey, Xiao Ran, you're back!" Chen Fangning shook the garbage bag in her hand and greeted her with a grin, and then noticed Xiang Nuanyang standing behind Qi Xiaoran, "Yo! cousin, why are you here?"

"Wait a minute, Xiao Ran, your clothes belong to my cousin, right?" As she spoke, she stepped forward, pulled the overly wide blazer that Qi Xiao Ran was wearing, and winked at Nuan Yang teasingly, "Brother, you guys are fast enough!"

"Fang Ning, don't joke. Qi Xiaoran was already blushing because of the close contact just now, but now that she was teased by Chen Fangning, the temperature on her face was almost at a loss.

"Mr. Xiang just saw that my clothes were wet, so he kindly lent me a piece of clothing, don't always mess around...... Mandarin duck spectrum. She quietly grabbed Chen Fangning's sleeve, and when she looked sideways at herself, she gave her a look.

Chen Fangning glanced at her, only then did she notice that her clothes were wet, although she had doubts, considering that she would definitely get sick if she stood outside the door wet all the time, she didn't say anything.

She stepped forward and wanted to help Qi Xiaoran, looked at the black garbage bag in her hand, smiled and showed a row of white and neat teeth, raised her hand towards Nuan Yang, and laughed twice, "Hehe, cousin, I want to accompany Xiaoran upstairs, why don't you help me throw out the garbage?"

Qi Xiaoran was surprised, and reached out to grab the garbage bag, but saw that Xiang Nuanyang had already received it in his hand, and the expression on his face was still unwavering.

Xiang Nuanyang glanced at her outstretched hand, knowing that she must have subconsciously thought that he was a holy person who did not eat the fireworks of the world, thinking of this, he inadvertently evoked a light smile, "I'll go, you guys go upstairs quickly." ”

Hearing this, Qi Xiaoran withdrew his hand embarrassedly, and the crimson on his face deepened a little.

Xiang Nuanyang waited for her to withdraw her hand before she raised her eyes to look at Chen Fangning and told her coldly: "Take good care of her." ”

"Do you want to say this?" Chen Fangning shrugged her shoulders disappreciably, glanced at the woman with a blushing face on the side, and glanced at her wordlessly, "By the way, cousin, let me ask you a question." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Where did you go yesterday?

Xiang Nuanyang opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a light cough, he frowned and looked over, "Throat is uncomfortable?"

"No, I accidentally choked on the air. Qi Xiaoran raised his hand and pressed it on his throat, and put his other hand on Chen Fangning's arm, "Fangning, I feel a little cold, why don't you go back first?"

"But I ......" Chen Fangning glared at her dissatisfied, as a friend for many years, she just wanted Qi Xiaoran to understand what position An Qing was in Xiang Nuanyang's heart.

Who knows, this girl still chose to escape.

After Xiang Nuan watched them enter, he threw the garbage bag into the green trash can in the community, looked up at the lights that had been lit on the balcony on the sixteenth floor, and then walked back to the car quickly.

When she woke up the next day, Qi Xiaoran felt a little dizzy, and when she rubbed her temples up, she happened to be seen by Chen Fangning, and she was dragged to the hospital to see a doctor.

"Xiao Ran, let me tell you, a minor illness is not cured, but it will become a major illness!"

Coming out of the hospital, Qi Xiaoran carried a bag of medicine, listening to Chen Fangning talking to herself beside her, she had been reading since she went out in the morning, even if she was very patient, she couldn't laugh or cry.

"Fang Ning, haven't I already finished reading it, and the medicine has been prescribed, so you can let me go. She softly took Chen Fangning's arm, raised her hand and pointed to the big shopping mall not far in front of her, "Didn't you keep saying that you were hungry? ”

Hearing this, Chen Fangning raised her chin arrogantly, "Do you think Miss Ben is the kind of person who bends her waist for a few buckets of rice?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Qi Xiaoran's arm with his backhand and quickened his pace towards the mall.

"I heard about the new Caesar pizza and it was not bad. ”

Qi Xiaoran smiled at her without objection, her eyes swept to her surroundings, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar and unfamiliar figure out of the corner of her eye.

The man had his back to them, wearing a small red and white checkered slip dress, tall and concave from the back, with a circle of black English letters tattooed on the bare ankles.

She looked at the man's back in a daze, and the memories of the past resurfaced, the circle of black English letters, which she accompanied An Qing to tattoo, at that time An Qing couldn't stand the pain, and clutched her wrist, which was tattooed with "foreverlove".

At that time, she didn't know why An Qing would tattoo this sentence, and she didn't understand it until the day Fu Yun's accident.

"Xiao Ran, what are you looking at?" Chen Fangning, who was originally thinking about what to eat, turned her head and saw her looking at the jewelry store opposite in a daze, and even shouted several times and didn't see her come back to her senses.

Xu is Chen Fangning shouted at her a little loudly, and An Qing, who was choosing jewelry on the opposite side, subconsciously turned her head after hearing the familiar name, and just met Qi Xiaoran's complicated eyes.
