When the footsteps of Lu Zaiyuan stopped at the place across the door, Nanxi became inexplicably nervous, his heartbeat accelerated, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.

She tried to hold her breath as she listened to the sound of a key colliding outside the door, followed by the sound of the key □□ the keyhole, and the "click" rotated twice, and the door did not open.

The door was quiet, and Nanxi became even more nervous, her back pressed against the wall, for fear that Lu Zaiyuan would find her standing inside the door.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang at Nanxi's head. In the quiet night, in the dark living room, the soothing doorbell music seems so eerie.

Nanxi was startled and almost screamed.

She covered her mouth and hurriedly dodged, trying to stay away from the doorbell. But I didn't want to kick the high-heeled shoe on the mat at the door, and the shoe flew up and hit the shoe rack with a "bang" sound.

Immediately, there was silence inside and outside the door at the same time.

Nan Xi froze there, stood motionless for a while, and when he heard the footsteps of Lu Zhiyuan outside the door again, he went down the steps and walked away......

It's quiet outside the door, and he's just gone?

Nanxi was relieved, thinking that there would be a small pleasure of revenge, but I didn't expect that there was no happiness, but my heart was empty.

She stood in the doorway for a moment, turned on the entrance light, picked up the shoes that had kicked them off, and placed them in their original places.

There was still no sound outside the door, she opened the door and looked out, the car was still at the door, but people didn't know where it went.

Maybe he's in the car at this point, maybe he's gone to a nearby hotel, or he's gone.

He had obviously heard the noise just now, he should have known that she was standing inside the door, he didn't say a word of apology, turned around and left. Such a move made her even more angry than calling her "wife" in public this morning.

So she closed the door and locked it again.

She was about to turn off the light in the entrance and go back to her room to sleep, when she heard Nanhe's room door "click" open. She hurriedly looked over and saw Nanhe wearing a thin nightdress and walked out blankly.

"Xiaohe......" Nanxi called his sister.

But Nanhe didn't answer her, didn't look at her, as if there was no one in the living room, and went straight to the direction of the window.

Nanxi's tears fell from the ground, and she silently went to the room to get a coat.

When she returned to the living room, she saw that Nan He had already sat down in front of the easel in the window, holding a carbon strip in her hand, scribbling on a sketch that was already about to take shape.

Nanxi walked over and gently draped her coat over her sister's body. Then she pulled a small stool and sat down behind her sister, looking at the lines she had drawn on the paper.

She thought: How entangled my sister's heart is, looking at the lines on the drawing paper, unconsciously drawing them by hand, there is no law and direction at all, chaotic like numbness. In my sister's heart, she must be full of loneliness, fear and confusion, she doesn't know what happened to herself, she can't understand what happened to others, she is a frightened child, she has no sense of security, she feels that the world may collapse at any time.

Poor sister, what can be done to save her?

Nanhe sank into a world that no one could understand, while Nanxi lived in the real world, sitting in the living room with not too bright light, his heart falling into the bottomless ice valley, shivering with cold.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting before she heard a soft "click" on the stairs, like the sound of soft-soled slippers stepping on a wooden floor.

She turned her head to look over, and saw Lu Zaiyuan dressed in silver-gray casual loungewear, his hair was still slightly wet, his hands were in his trouser pockets, and he was walking down the stairs leisurely.

She couldn't believe her eyes, was she also schizophrenic? She obviously locked him out of the door just now, but he couldn't open the door and was already gone. So who is this person who appeared in front of her eyes at this time?

Was it just a shadow of her imagination? Is she also too lonely and begins to fantasize about having someone by her side?

Nanxi didn't move, looking at the man who came down the stairs in a daze, until he approached, stood in front of her, and raised his hand to touch her face.

His palms were so warm that the warmth was truly transmitted to her cheeks. She shuddered, tears rolling out of her eyes like a flood.

According to Nanxi's mood during the day, seeing that the road is far away, she will inevitably rush up to reward him with a slap.

But at this moment, watching him walk down the stairs, her lonely and cold heart actually warmed up like the sun.

Under his quiet gaze, she suddenly felt so aggrieved. Her tears couldn't stop falling, and he raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face, more and more.

Her tears rolled down his hands, down her fingers and into his palms, cold.

He wanted to go and get the tissue box on the coffee table, but as soon as he turned around, she dragged the placket of his clothes.

She tugged at the hem of his shirt, lowered her head, and desperately tried to hold back her crying, her shoulders shaking terribly.

Lu Zaiyuan had no choice but to take back the foot he had stepped out of, put his hands on her shoulders, and stroked them gently, wanting to comfort her grievances with such an action.

Who knew that it was okay for him not to move, and the more he soothed him, the more fierce she cried.

Nam Ha was still drawing messy lines over there, unaware of his sister's sadness.

Lu Zaiyuan sighed, reached out and picked Nanxi up from the stool, and walked towards her room.

She didn't resist and buried her face in his chest. Her tears immediately wet his clothes, and his chest was wet.

When he arrived at the door of her bedroom, he was about to open the door, but she suddenly opened her mouth and whispered, "Go upstairs, don't alarm Nanhe." ”

He glanced back at Nanhe, the girl was still slowly smearing the lines, she was not in this world at all, he didn't think that he and Nanxi's existence would affect her.

But he still obeyed Nanxi, closed the half-open door, carried her up the stairs to the second floor, and entered his room.

He put Nanxi on his bed, Nanxi turned over, buried his face in his pillow, and cried out with a "whin". He didn't know how to comfort her, so he lay on his side beside her, put his hand on her back, and patted her gently.

Nanxi is like a child who has been bullied, and when no one is around to comfort her, she can barely hold on. Once there is someone to rely on, they will cry more and more fiercely.

She cried for a long time beside Lu Zaiyuan, until she was about to lose her breath.

Lu Zaiyuan heard that her voice was wrong, and quickly turned her over and reproached: "Are you going to suffocate yourself to death?" Can't just look up and catch your breath? Are you going to die in my bed and frame me for murder? ”

Nanxi cried so much that her face was spent, and she was embarrassed to face Lu Zaiyuan directly, so she pulled up the corner of the quilt and wiped it on her face a few times.

"Got my quilt dirty......" Lu Zaiyuan didn't want to see her cry anymore, wanting to distract her.

As soon as he said this, Nanxi immediately covered the corner of the quilt on his nose, wiped it a few times, and threw it on him with his hand.

He pretended to grin disgusted, lifted the quilt back, and said, "A girl's family, why is it so unsophisticated......"

I saw Nanxi staring at him with red and swollen eyes, and two seconds later, he pounced on him, grabbed his clothes, and wiped them on his face and nose.

Her action is not so much angry as coquettish. Seeing that she began to fight against him vigorously again, he knew that she had finished crying, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He took off his shirt and gave it to her completely. Then he went to the bathroom, soaked the towel in hot water, wrung it out, took it out, and wiped her face.

Having cleaned her face, he picked up the pillow towels on the floor and the clothes on the bed, ready to be sent to the dirty basket in the bathroom together.

I heard her shout behind her: "Stop! I ask you, how did you get in? You're not going to climb windows, are you? ”

Lu Zaiyuan threw his clothes and pillow into the bathroom, came back and sat down next to Nanxi, and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard a word?" When God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you......"

"You climbed in through the second-floor window? What the hell did you do before? Nanxi looked at him with a frown.

Lu Zaiyuan raised his eyebrows proudly, drew an "S" on his chest, and then stretched his arm into the air: "I'm Superman!" ”

His appearance was very childish, and Nanxi couldn't help but "flutter" and laugh. Immediately I felt so embarrassed, I just cried, and now I laughed again, as if I was crazy.

So she changed her face for a second, and glared at Lu Zaiyuan fiercely: "Don't think that you can climb the window and have a little sense of humor!" I haven't settled accounts with you yet! ”

Probably because she had just cried, she looked quite fierce, but her momentum was not enough.

Lu Zaiyuan took the opportunity to play tricks, threw himself directly on the bed, lay his upper body on her lap, and honestly lay on his stomach: "I'm used to calling my wife at home, and I blurted out this morning, which was completely unintentional." If you get angry, you can hit me a few times, and I won't be able to take it back anyway. ”

Nanxi raised his hand and slapped him on the back: "You still have to play tricks!" You are clearly premeditated, where is the unintentional mistake! ”

Lu Zaiyuan cried out in pain very cooperatively: "Ouch, you really fight!" You tap! Even if I was premeditated, I was telling the truth! Aren't you my wife? You're a wife, and you're pretending to be a single girl to accept other people's pursuits, if I don't want to stop it, am I still a man? ”

Nanxi slapped him again: "Finally tell the truth!" You're just trying to let everyone know! You've been holding back for a long time! I don't understand! Isn't there an agreement between us? What the hell do you want to do? ”

"No matter what we agreed before, are you my wife now? As long as it's my wife, I won't allow other men to pursue you! Otherwise I'm not cuckolding? "The road is far away.

Of course, Nanxi didn't believe it, and reached out to pinch his neck: "You still don't tell the truth!" Do you think I'm stupid? When you were obediently dragged by me to get married, it was already weird! It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, tomorrow we'll get a divorce! ”

"Don't divorce......" Lu Zaiyuan was pinched out of breath, so he broke her hand and sat up in protest.

"If I say leave, I will leave! If we don't get divorced, maybe you'll crux me into some pit! We'll go through the formalities early tomorrow morning! If you still want to cheat, I'll go to court and sue! ”

Seeing Nanxi's determination, Lu Zaiyuan grabbed her hand, hooked her chin, and looked into her eyes: "I won't divorce you!" ”

"Why?" Nanxi is going crazy.

"Because I need your ......"

When these words came out of Lu Zaiyuan's mouth, Nanxi immediately wanted to smash his fist into his face.

But before she could make a move, Lu Zaiyuan added: "...... I really need you as much as you need me......"

Like a needle stuck in a balloon, Nanxi immediately deflated and released his clenched fist. She was silent for a few seconds, and shook her head weakly: "It shouldn't be like this, I will become the laughing stock of others, and Nanhe, if she knows about my relationship with you, she will really collapse......"

"You are a brave girl, there are some things that cannot be escaped, I will face it with you, okay?" Lu Zaiyuan reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, and with a gentle hug, she fell into his arms.

"But...... I don't understand, what do you need from me? ”

"You don't have to do anything, you just stay with me, it's fine......"

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

“…… I still don't understand......"

Nanxi felt that she was becoming more and more unprincipled.

During the day yesterday, she gritted her teeth and hated Lu Yuan, and vowed to pull him to divorce today.

But this morning, like a little mouse without guts, she followed Lu Zhiyuan behind her and entered the company with her head down.

Originally, she refused to take his car to work, but he said: "Now that everyone knows about our relationship, you are dodgy, but it seems hypocritical, why can't you be more generous?" ”

Then, he stuffed her into the car and drove her to work.

Along the way, Nanxi was beating a small drum in her heart, not knowing what eyes her colleagues would look at her when she entered the company.

Lu Zaoyuan was in a good mood, listening to music and humming songs, as if he had won the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket. Seeing that Nanxi's eyebrows were twisted into knots, he reached out to press her eyebrows: "Hi! What kind of expression do you have, have you been wronged by being my wife? ”

Nanxi looked at him with a bitter face: "It stands to reason that if a man with such conditions as you is assigned to me, I should have a sense of surprise that a cake fell from the sky." But why do I always feel like I've been fooled? ”

Lu Zaiyuan patted her on the head, but smiled silently.

When he arrived at the company, facing his colleagues who had worked with him for several years, Nanxi was like a lying child, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he didn't dare to look at people.

As expected, the tone of everyone's greeting to her was really not as casual as before. The person who was familiar enough to pat her on the shoulder on weekdays now kept a distance from her, with a certain meaningful smile on his face, and respectfully addressed her: "Mrs. President......"

Nanxi felt that "Mrs. President" was really a strange hat, and it was not appropriate to wear it on her head at all. But she can't refute it, Lu Zaiyuan's sentence is right, since the relationship has been made public, no matter how cowardly she is, it seems hypocritical.

She answered everyone's greetings, and finally entered the office, she released her clenched fingers, and found that her palms were already sweaty.

She took off her coat and backpack, wanting to go to the pantry to get a glass of water to moisten her dry throat.

As soon as I thought about drinking water, the office door was gently knocked twice, and then the secretary Jin Nana walked in and put a cup of coffee on her desk: "Madame, please drink coffee......"

"Don't call me that, we're not filming a romance drama, you are a long lady and a short wife, I can't work, tell everyone, and call me Assistant Nan, okay?" Nanxi demanded.

Jin Nana quickly said yes and went out.

Nanxi sat down and picked up the coffee, but before she entered the mouth, she just sniffed it, and found that this was not the kind of coffee she drank with everyone on weekdays, but a British brand of coffee exclusive to Lu Zaiyuan.

Lu Zaiyuan has lived in the UK for many years, and only loves that brand of coffee. The pantry had his own coffee-making equipment, which no one dared to share with him.

Jin Nana must have thought: since they are two people, they should not distinguish each other, as husbands, Lu Zaiyuan should not mind his wife drinking his coffee.

Nanxi took a sip of the exclusive coffee that was far away, and the taste was really extraordinary, which was not the same as the coffee she usually drank.

She took a few sips of coffee, looked thoughtfully at the phone on the table, thought about it for a while, plucked up the courage to pick up the phone, and dialed Liao Yijiang.

Nanxi felt that she had to give Liao Yijiang an explanation, because she had lied to him only the day before yesterday and was punctured yesterday.

After all, in a company, she still doesn't want to be too embarrassed when she and Liao Yijiang meet.

She dialed Liao Yijiang's phone and was quickly connected.

Without waiting for her to speak, Liao Yijiang spoke first: "Nanxi, did you call me to explain the lie about the landlord and tenants?" ”

"That...... It's not a lie, it's actually ......" Nanxi was stuck, she didn't know how to explain it, and it was impossible to continue to deny her relationship with Lu Zaiyuan, so she admitted it, and she was unwilling.

Liao Yijiang waited for a while, and before she could speak, he said: "You don't need to explain, I asked Chen Sufen yesterday, I know what is always going on between you and Lu, I heard that you still have a separation agreement...... I just don't understand, since you discussed the divorce on the second day of marriage, why did Mr. Lu announce your relationship, is he in love with you? ”

"He? Fall in love with me? It's impossible...... "Recently, Lu Zaiyuan has really taken care of her, but is that love? She wasn't sure.
