35. Stick to beat mandarin ducks

The passing year is not good! The peaceful life that used to be in place is now all messed up!

Nanxi's heart became a mess, and she couldn't tell what it was like, and the more she cried, the more out of control.

She hung up the phone, turned off the phone, and cried on the tea table. A handsome foreman paid attention to her for a while, and was afraid that something would happen to her, so he came over and asked, "Miss, may I ask how I can help you?" ”

Nanxi knew that she had lost her temper, pulled a few tissues and wiped her face, and said, "It's okay, let's settle the bill." ”

"The lady who came with you has already settled the bill." The foreman politely told her.

"Oh......" The lady is really thoughtful, and Nanxi is also happy to save tea money.

She took her bag, walked out of the teahouse, and stood on the street.

Reason told her that she should be brave, go back to the company now, pretend that nothing happened, and just work with her head down.

But she was reminded that she could no longer have the same calm working atmosphere as before, and that she would be a topic, a focal point, and a center of right and wrong. People will talk about her with different mentalities behind their backs, and they have to pretend to be humble and respectful in front of her.

It's not that she's thinking nonsense, colleagues in the company used to treat Wu Kexin with this attitude. Even people like her, who have always swept the snow in front of her door and rarely participated in the company's gossip, have silently paid attention to the relationship between Wu Kexin and the former president.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's her turn.

What to do? Do you want to quit your job? But now that the employment situation is so poor, if she quits her job at Chimi, where will her next job be? If she loses her job, how will she support herself and her sister?

All kinds of entanglements and embarrassments made her so upset that she wanted to rush to the middle of the road to crash.

In this state, she felt that she didn't need to force a casual posture and go back to the company to face those people.

So she flagged down a taxi and went home.

When she got to the door, she paid for the car and got out of the car to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a pair of men's Nike basketball shoes in the hallway. The only man in the family has a long way to go, and he never wears such sneakers, and he can't have such basketball shoes.

Got a guest at home? But why quietly?

She changed her slippers and walked into the living room, where she found a dark blue backpack and an army green trench coat on the couch, which she knew was a young boy's belonging.

Things are here, where are people?

Nanxi suddenly panicked and ran to Nanhe's bedroom: "Xiaohe! Xiaohe, are you at home? ”

Before she could run to the door, the bedroom door opened from the inside, Nanhe held the door with one hand and looked at Nanxi in surprise: "Sister...... How did you get back? ”

Nanxi stood still and looked at her sister.

I saw her eyes open wide in panic, her right hand holding the doorknob tightly, her body blocked the doorway, and her legs were still trembling slightly.

Nanxi expected that the owner of the basketball shoes was in the bedroom, and she stopped her steps. Her sister couldn't be frightened, even if she was so anxious that she couldn't push open the door and rush in.

She casually pointed to the things on the sofa: "Xiaohe, there are guests at home, right?" Is it your classmate? ”

"Sister......" Nanhe looked at Nanxi like a child who had done something wrong, his big eyes flashed, and tears flashed.

Nanhe tried her best to show that she was calm and calm, but her heart was really flustered.

Nanxi had no choice but to pretend not to see the tears rolling in her eyes, turned around and went to her bedroom, and said as she walked, "I'll go change my clothes and then come out to make lunch." Since there are guests at home, I will cook a few more dishes at noon today. ”

Then, she pushed the door open and entered her room, dropped her backpack and coat on the bed, and sat on the floor.

She felt so tired, and things outside the home were like heavy stones weighing on her heart. There was no one to help her share the weight of life, and she was alone in this world.

She sat there for a while before she got up.

She didn't worry about her sister, and although she was in a bad mood and weak, she changed her clothes and went out of the bedroom.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw her sister and a boy pushing and shoving in the living room.

Obviously, Nanhe wanted to send the boy away while his sister hadn't come out yet, but the boy didn't seem to want to run away quietly, and he didn't dare to use force on Nanhe, so he could only resist Nanhe's push and shove while whispering something to ask for something.

As soon as Nanxi came out, the two of them immediately stopped moving.

Nanhe jumped away, kept a certain distance from the boy, rubbed his hands crampedly, and didn't know how to explain to Nanxi.

But Nanxi already recognized the boy, the last time she went to visit Nanhe at school, she met him when she walked out of the door of the breakfast shop.

"Are you...... Ding ...... "She pointed at him, but she couldn't call him by name.

The boy hurriedly walked over and bowed to Nanxi: "Hello Sister Nanxi, I'm Ding Chuyang." ”

"Yes, Ding Chuyang, we've met, the last time I went to school......" Nan Xi looked at Ding Chuyang as he spoke.

This boy's facial features are three points similar to Deng Jiaxiang's, especially the face shape and nose. So when he cuts a haircut like Deng Jiaxiang, the similarity will immediately increase to six or seven points.

Nanxi looked at him, as if there were many hands scratching in his heart.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tried her best to maintain a calm expression, and asked Ding Chuyang, "Why do you have time to visit Xiaohe?" Isn't the school curriculum intense? ”

Ding Chuyang was generous and frankly admitted: "I heard that Senior Sister Nanhe took a leave of absence and went home, and she didn't greet me when she left, so I was very worried, so I came over to take a look." ”

"Oh......"

It's a good boy, but it's a pity that I fell in love with the wrong person. Although Nanxi has always hoped that Nanhe can study, work, fall in love, have children and get married like a normal girl, the reality is the opposite of her hope.

Dr. Zhou warned her: Nanhe is now grown up and will have emotional instincts, but she does not have the sound mind to fall in love, and the noisy, obsessive love and resentment that often occur between couples will destroy her spiritual world little by little. If the relationship is not good, and there is such a thing as breaking up and falling out of love, she will completely collapse.

Ding Chuyang must not know Nanhe's situation, in his eyes, Nanhe may just be a sentimental and sensitive girl, fragile and distressing. At his age, it's easy to be inspired by such a girl to protect the male**.

And the South River ...... Maybe he just thinks he looks like Deng Jiaxiang, so he will be willing to take the initiative to approach him.

This makes the relationship between two people even more dangerous.

Nanxi didn't know where Ding Chuyang and Nanhe had gone, but she clearly knew that she had to nip this catastrophic emotion in the bud.

She can't take risks, she can't afford to lose her sister.

She wants to stop this dangerous relationship, but she doesn't know how to do it.

She left Ding Chuyang for lunch, Ding Chuyang stayed very generously, and also took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help her pick vegetables and wash vegetables.

During this period, the phone rang countless times. Lu Zaiyuan called first, because Nanxi hung up his phone crying, he didn't know where she was, so he called home for verification.

Later, Sister Fen and Liao Yijiang called, but Nanxi didn't answer, only taught Nanhe a few perfunctory words, and sent them away.

If the incident of being shouted "wife" in public by Lu Zaiyuan in the morning can be called thunder, then the fact that Ding Chuyang and Nanhe were in the same room was simply a thunderbolt.

Since the death of her parents and the autism of her sister, Nanxi has a kind of consciousness: her sister's affairs must always come first!

Cooking, eating, the three of them chatted with laughter, and the whole process was very calm. Although Nan He barely spoke, Nan Xi's calm attitude made her feel reassured, and she was not so frightened.

After dinner, Ding Chuyang was about to leave because he was catching the afternoon train. Nanxi took the initiative to see him off, Ding Chuyangming was both moved and happy, and thought that he had been recognized by Nanxi.

When I arrived at the train station, I bought a ticket, and there was still a period of time before driving, Nanxi and Ding Chuyang sat on the bench in the waiting room and chatted about Nanhe.

Nanxi said: "Xiaoding, I can see that you are a good boy, although Xiaohe is one year older than you, but I believe that you really like her." But today, I have to take a stand, I don't agree with your association with Xiaohe. ”

The previous atmosphere was good, but the sudden rejection caught Ding Chuyang off guard: "Why? Sister Nanxi, is there anything I can't do well? You tell me, I'll change! ”

Of course, Nanxi can't say what is wrong with Ding Chuyang, but she can't sue Ding Chuyang, her sister is a girl with strict psychological problems and can't fall in love.

In school, only the counselor teacher knows about Nanhe's situation, and the classmates just think Nanhe is a little strange, although some people speculate that she has a bit of psychological problems, but none of them know Yan zhΓ²ng Cheng dΓΉ.

Nanxi protects her sister's self-esteem and never mentions it to others.

So she could only think of other reasons: "You are very good, but I want to send Nanhe abroad for further study." As you know, she has a promising future, and I want her to be better artistically educated, so I'm going to send her to France......"

"I ......" Ding Chuyang was a little dumbfounded when he heard that Nanhe was going to France, "I can go with her...... Or I can wait for her to come back. ”

"It's not realistic, because Nanhe went to France and probably won't come back."

Ding Chuyang was immediately confused, and he panicked for a while before he said, "This matter ...... I'm going to ask Sister Nanhe, maybe she doesn't want to go......"

"I have the final say in our family, Nanhe obeys my words, I want her to go to France, she will definitely go!" Nanxi knew that he couldn't give him hope, so he said it very desperately.

In the end, Ding Chuyang was full of disappointment and sadness, got on the train, and left D City.

Nanxi felt like a feudal parent who beat mandarin ducks in the old days, and she was very reluctant to go to Ding Chuyang. But she knew in her heart that it was also for his good.

After sending Ding Chuyang away, she took a taxi back home.

As soon as she entered the door, Nanhe ran out and told her: "Mr. Lu came back just now, as if he was looking for you in a hurry." I said you went to the train station to see off the guests, he waited for a while, answered a phone call, and left again......"

Nanxi believes that Lu Zaiyuan is not indifferent to her feelings.

After getting along for a period of time, Lu Zaiyuan is still very good to her, tolerating her little temper and taking care of her life, he can almost be regarded as a qualified husband.

Nanxi didn't hate him either, and even began to like him a little bit and rely on him.

She didn't know how to explain the current situation between them.

Because of love? Nanxi is not the kind of person who believes in love at first sight, and she doesn't feel how much Lu Zaiyuan loves her, and she herself doesn't have the feeling of being electrocuted at first sight when Lu Zaiyuan is far away.

Is that friendship? Not to mention, right? The strange relationship between a man and a woman who began with an absurd marriage can't be called friendship, right?

Nanxi is gradually liking the feeling of being with Lu Zaiyuan, and it is precisely because she likes it that her heart is even more uneasy. She always felt that there must be a reason for everything, and the road was far from breaking into her life for no reason.

Why the hell did he appear, she asked, and he prevaricated.

So she had no way of believing him.

Since their relationship lacked a foundation of trust from the start, there must not be a stable long-term future. So she didn't want to make it public, and it should be a sane and correct decision.

But Lu Zaiyuan didn't ask her, and made their relationship public.

She felt that she was very passive, completely led by his nose. But where he was going to lead her, she couldn't see clearly, and that was what annoyed her the most.

Lu Zaiyuan went home in the afternoon, and he probably didn't worry about her. Then he answered the phone and left, and he didn't come back until the evening.

Nanxi doesn't care about worrying about her own affairs, Nanhe is enough for her to worry about.

The boy named Ding Chuyang was unwilling to be cut off by Nanxi, and after getting on the train, he called Nanhe.

Nanhe learned from him that his sister was going to send him to France, and he was very uneasy all afternoon, and kept asking Nanxi: "Sister, are you annoying me?" Am I doing something wrong? ”

"I won't send you abroad, I don't worry about you going to such a far place by yourself. I just don't think that boy is suitable for you, you need to recuperate quietly at home for a while, I don't want him to disturb you......" Nanxi had to patiently comfort her.

But Nanhe was still restless, and she would suddenly ask Nanxi: "Sister, if you really want to send me abroad, will I go out with Brother Jiaxiang?" Isn't he going to study abroad? Go out with him, and I'll not be afraid. ”

Nanxi heard her mention Deng Jiaxiang, and took the opportunity to persuade her: "Xiaohe, don't bother Brother Jiaxiang for a while, okay?" He...... Really busy and didn't have time to spend with you. ”

Nanhe immediately burst into tears: "Did Brother Jiaxiang say that?" Did he fall in love with someone else? I've been home for days, and he doesn't come for dinner, have you quarreled? ”

Nanxi could only coax her patiently.

But Nanhe didn't want to believe it, and while Nanxi was cooking dinner in the kitchen, she dialed Deng Jiaxiang's phone.

This time, let her press and dial again and again, Deng Jiaxiang just didn't answer the phone.

Nanhe was deeply shocked, and he didn't eat dinner, so he went back to his room, and no matter how Nanxi called her outside the door, he just didn't open the door.

Neither sister had dinner, one inside the house and the other outside, and remained silently until eight o'clock in the evening.

Nanxi didn't turn on the light, sitting on the sofa in the living room, his heart was as heavy as the night outside the window.

She found that the time when Nanhe was in the best condition was precisely the sweetest time for her and Deng Jiaxiang.

At that time, she and Deng Jiaxiang had just graduated, and they were running around for work first. When they find a job, adapt to the new social life, and work hard at the bottom of the company, it is also a very hard work.

But at that time, they loved each other, no matter how hard and tired they were, they came home together at night, bought vegetables and cooked, even if it was just fried two green vegetables, they could eat happily.

On weekends, if the weather is good, the two of them will ride their bicycles, Deng Jiaxiang will carry Nanhe, Nanxi will carry Nanhe's painting tools, food and drinks, and go to the park or the river bank together.

Nanxi and Deng Jiaxiang chatted, frolicked, or lay quietly on the grass to read.

And Nanhe will be not far away, open an easel and concentrate on painting.

It was during that period of time that Nanhe's mental condition was very good, which made Nanxi almost think that her sister had come out of the shadows of the past and was already a normal girl.

Later, Nanhe was admitted to university, and she herself was extremely reluctant to leave home to study, but Nanxi felt that her sister always had to grow up, and she still had to put her into a bigger world to exercise.

Looking back now, she was too optimistic about her sister's mental state at that time.

In fact, since going to college, Nanhe has gradually become unhappy. In just two years, she has regressed to the way she is now.

Nanxi sat in the dimly lit living room, looking at the two closed doors of Nanhe's room, full of self-blame.

About half-past eight, she suddenly heard the familiar sound of a jeep driving outside the door, and she knew that the road was far away.

Remembering that she was watched by everyone in the conference room during the day, it was like pouring a bucket of boiling oil on her already burning heart, which made her sad.

Without hesitation, she jumped up from the couch and went straight to the entrance, quickly locking the door.

Then, leaning against the wall by the door, she listened to the doors opening and closing outside, followed by the sound of cowhide boots on the ground, getting closer and closer.
