33. Sleepless sleeplessness

Nanxi hesitated, but still got into Liao Yijiang's car and closed the door: "Let's go." โ€

Liao Yijiang saw that her face was not very good, and asked her, "Are you too tired?" After dinner, how about I take you for a massage? Loosen muscles and bones, and relieve fatigue. โ€

"No, I'm not used to being pressed around." Nanxi politely declined.

"Did you misunderstand?" Liao Yijiang looked at her with a smile, "It's not the kind of place you imagined, it's very healthy, and the masseur is also very professional......"

"I'm not mistaken, my sister is back, I need to be home a little earlier." Nanxi explained euphemistically.

"Oh? Nanhe is back? Call her and call her for dinner. Liao Yijiang said politely.

"She's not coming......"

The two of them chatted for a while, and the car arrived at the door of the Chiyo Japanese restaurant. A welcoming waiter came over and opened the door, Nanxi got out of the car and followed Liao Yijiang into the store.

The Japanese food at this restaurant is really delicious.

When the two of them were eating, they didn't talk about sensitive topics.

Nanxi didn't want to say those uninteresting things during the meal, after all, he was her colleague and former boss, so he should still be respected.

Because Nanxi had been chatting about some gossip between colleagues in the company, Liao Yijiang couldn't find an entry point for confession, so he chatted with her topic for a while, and the meal was over.

After dinner, the two of them drank chrysanthemum tea, and Liao Yijiang spoke first: "Nanxi, there have been many rumors about you in the company recently, if I ask you for verification, I don't know if you mind." โ€

"Rumors about me and Lu Yuan, right?" Nanxi looked at him very frankly.

Liao Yijiang nodded: "Although you have always said that Helu is always an old friend, but how do I think it, the two of you don't look like you've known each other for a long time, you and him ......"

Nanxi looked at his questioning gaze and thought to herself: There are many suspicions in the company about the relationship between her and Lu Zaiyuan, and there must be an explanation for this matter. The fact that the two of them have marriage certificates can't be said in any way, so it's better to say their purest relationship.

So she said, "The road is always a tenant in my house." โ€

"Room...... Tenant?! Liao Yijiang was taken aback.

"Yes, my house is big, you know. After Mr. Lu came back from the UK, he rented the second floor of my house and paid the rent for a year. At that time, he was still a freelance photographer, and I didn't know that he would return to China to start a business, let alone that he would buy Zhimei's shares and become our new boss. โ€

Nanxi told the least important part of her relationship with Lu Zaiyuan, and every sentence was true, not a lie.

Liao Yijiang didn't believe it, and asked: "It's just like this?" โ€

"Or else? What do you think we're in a relationship? Nanxi had no way to answer positively, so she had to ask rhetorically.

Liao Yijiang naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, and it was not good to ask too much about Nanxi's private affairs, so he said: "You said that he was a tenant, I believe you...... Since you and him are not as close as they are rumored, does that mean that my chances are still zร i? โ€

The topic finally came to this point, Nanxi slowly turned the teacup in his hand, and replied to Liao Yijiang with a smile: "Boss, in fact, I came today just to make this matter clear." You all know about me, a love wound hurt me completely. I tremble all over my body at the mention of feelings now, how can I start over so quickly? You understand, right? โ€

"It doesn't matter, I can wait for you, you need a while to heal, I can afford to wait." Liao Yijiang insisted.

"Wait for me?" Nanxi couldn't believe his ears, "Boss, when did you become so affectionate?" I don't even know you anymore. Don't put so much pressure on me, I'm not guilty of delaying your good years? โ€

"You don't believe me? I'm serious! I'm also someone who has been hurt emotionally, and this time I must find a good woman to marry! Liao Yijiang looked at Nanxi very solemnly.

"There are good women who can get married, so it's better for you to broaden your horizons, right? I don't have anything but a sister to take care of, so I shouldn't be a good marriage partner, right? Nanxi didn't expect Liao Yijiang to be so serious, she thought that something that could be solved in a few words now seems much more complicated.

Sure enough, Liao Yijiang didn't plan to give up at all, he said: "I don't need a woman to have too good economic conditions, I can make money, but the woman I marry back home must be the kind of stable and quiet woman who can maintain a good family and live a long life...... You have this kind of temperament in you......"

Until Liao Yijiang drove Nanxi back to his home, Nanxi failed to persuade Liao Yijiang to give up his expectations of her.

Judging from Liao Yijiang's persistent attitude towards Nanxi, he should have liked Nanxi for a long time. It's just that Nanxi had Deng Jiaxiang by his side at that time, and he didn't have a chance to confess at all.

Now that Nanxi's love life has finally been blank, he finally has a chance, and this time he said that he couldn't let her go.

Nanxi had a headache, she was completely indifferent to Liao Yijiang, but she couldn't convince him for a while.

She got out of the car at the door of her house, watched Liao Yijiang wave happily at her, and then drove away.

She sighed and turned to go home, only to see Lu Zaiyuan standing on the balcony on the second floor, holding a coffee cup in one hand and holding the guardrail with the other, looking in her direction.

Light streamed through the two glass doors behind him, enveloping him. His face was blurred, and his figure was slender and straight.

When he saw her get out of Liao Yijiang's car, what would he think in his heart?

She couldn't guess because she didn't know him at all.

She lowered her head, stopped looking at him, and walked home. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Nanhe sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Seeing that she was back, Nanhe hurriedly greeted her, followed her, and went into her bedroom, asking as she walked, "Sister, where have you been?" Did you date Brother Jiaxiang? Did Brother Jiaxiang send you back? โ€

"Didn't you go to the amusement park with Deng Jiaxiang during the day? Didn't he sue you? He will be very busy lately, and he has no time to date me......" Nanhe opened his mouth and closed his mouth only Brother Jiaxiang, Nanxi listened sadly.

Nanhe was very sensitive, and immediately noticed that Nanxi's tone was not good, and she asked carefully: "Sister, are you unhappy?" Did you have a conflict with Brother Jiaxiang? โ€

Nanxi hurriedly coaxed her: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little tired...... What did you have for dinner? Have you eaten enough? Do you want me to give you the next bowl of noodles? โ€

At the mention of food, Nanhe immediately looked overjoyed: "After coming out of the amusement park, Brother Jiaxiang took me to eat seafood buffet, I ate so much, and I was not hungry at night." Brother Jiaxiang bought me a lot of snacks again, and I just ate a bucket of biscuits......"

"You eat cookies at night?" Nanxi feels sorry for her sister.

Nanhe pouted: "The gentleman upstairs made a very sumptuous dinner and invited me to have dinner with him, so I won't eat his things!" Hum! โ€

Nanxi heard that Lu Zaiyuan was cooking dinner for Nanhe, and his heart warmed up. But when he heard Nanhe's disdainful tone, he couldn't help but be entangled, so he asked, "Nanhe, don't you like the road is far away?" โ€

Nanhe nodded.

"Why?" Nan Xi asked.

Nanhe shook his head again: "I don't know, intuition, intuition tells me, this Mr. Lu is not a good person." โ€

Gut feeling...... Psychiatrists all say that a sensitive and fragile child like Nanhe has the sharpest intuition. Nanhe said that Lu Zai is far from being a good person, does he really have any ulterior secrets?

"Sister, can you get rid of him? Every time I see him, I feel that he exudes a cold breath, I always feel that he is a very dangerous man, we can't keep him at home......" Nan He whispered in Nan Xi's ear.

Is it cold? It's not a word that keeps up with the road, right? Although he is a little cool, he doesn't seem to be cold to people usually.

Nanxi didn't want to discuss Lu Zaiyuan's person with Nanhe, at least it wasn't the right time yet. So she said: "I signed a rental contract with him, charged him a year's rent, and I have to pay money for breach of contract." You don't care about this, you sit down, I'll talk to you......"

"Do you want me to go back to school? I'm not going back! Nanhe didn't sit either, but stood stubbornly.

"If you don't want to go back to school, just rest at home for a while, I've already said hello to your counselor teacher, just go back and fill out a leave of absence...... I want to ...... We haven't been to see Dr. Zhou for a long time, so I'll take two hours off at noon tomorrow and let's go sit with Dr. Zhou, okay? โ€

Nanxi said very carefully, but Nanhe still understood what she meant.

"Sister, what did Teacher Sun tell you? I'm not sick! I don't want to see a doctor! โ€

Nanxi saw that her sister's face was red, so frightened that she immediately stopped the topic and didn't dare to continue.

Forget it, after all, my sister just came home. Maybe when she returns home, she feels safe, and her mental condition is stable after a few days of rest.

So the two sisters chatted a few more words, and Nanhe was used to going to bed early, so he went back to the room early.

Nanxi took a shower and saw that it was still early, she didn't want to sleep, but she didn't want to go out of the bedroom door.

Because she knew that as long as she walked out of that door, she would inevitably meet the road from afar. He must be on the second floor now watching the movement on the first floor, he is just not sure if Nanhe is asleep, so he doesn't dare to come to her room loudly.

She got into bed, put the notebook on her lap, opened the back and connected to the Internet, and as soon as she landed on the โ–กโ–ก, Lu Zaiyuan's avatar jumped out.

She immediately became invisible, and it seemed that it was too late, because Lu Zaiyuan's message to her was: "You still dare to go online? Aren't you afraid that I will hunt you down? โ€

Nanxi thought about it, quickly put the notebook aside, jumped out of bed, and locked the bedroom door.

Then she came back, picked up the notebook again, and replied to him: "You think you are a curly-haired killer?" Still hunting and killing? You're too deep into the play, aren't you? โ€

"You're right, I'm in the play, but you're still outside the play, so what's the matter? Tonight's private date, you'll have to explain it to me. "The road is far back.

Nanxi looked at the words he typed, gritted his teeth angrily, and quickly replied: "I don't need to explain to you, just like you don't need to explain to me, the relationship between us is like this, don't interfere with each other, keep the appropriate space, you turn out the separation agreement and take a look, it is clearly stipulated, and you also signed it!" โ€

"You still dare to prevaricate me with the separation agreement, you wait, I'll go down to you right away!"

After he left this sentence, less than half a minute, Nanxi heard a soft sound outside the door. Immediately after, the doorknob swirled, and with a "click", the door did not open.

Nanxi stared at the door and smirked.

After two seconds of silence, the doorknob was swung again, and there was another "click".

Immediately, Nanxi heard the door of his sister's room next door open, and Nanhe's thin voice sounded outside the door, with a little anger: "What are you doing?" โ€

"Oh...... I'll ask your sister to borrow a hair dryer, mine is broken......" Lu Zaiyuan made up a lie, and he was quite calm.

"Even if you're borrowing something, don't you knock when you enter someone's room? Do you know how to be polite? Nanhe taught him another lesson.

"Just about to knock on the ......" Lu Zaiyuan responded to Nanhe, and then Nanxi heard a knock on the door, "Nanxi!" Lend me a hair dryer to use, I just washed my hair and the hair dryer broke. โ€

Nanxi wanted to ignore him, but considering that Nanhe was staring outside the door, she felt that it would be better to cooperate with Lu Zhiyuan.

So she answered, "Wait a minute." โ€

She got out of bed, took out the hair dryer from the bathroom, walked to the door, opened the door, and stuffed it into Lu Zhiyuan's hand: "A big man, just wash your hair and dry it with a towel, what else is it to blow?" โ€

"That's it!" Nan He leaned on the door frame of his bedroom, staring at the road in the distance, echoing Nan Xi's words.

The door was already open, and Lu Zaiyuan wanted to rush in, holding Nanxi and asking for an explanation.

But Nanhe was staring at him from the side, his eyes full of wariness and disgust towards him. He resisted the impulse, glared at Nanxi, and went back to the second floor with a hair dryer.

Nanxi told Nanhe to go to bed early, then close the door and lock it.

Back on the bed, holding the computer and waiting, after a while, Lu Zaiyuan sent her a sentence: "My principle is: confess leniently, resist strictly!" You choose to resist, you're in trouble! โ€

Lu Zaiyuan left a cruel sentence and went offline.

Nanxi looked at his darkened avatar and sat in a daze for a while.

Then, she turned off the computer, turned off the lights, and lay down, only to find that she was not sleepy at all.

Tonight her ears are very sharp, and she always carelessly pays attention to the movement outside the door, and at the slightest ring, she will sit up energetically and stare at the door for a long time.

At first, she felt like she was on the lookout for a long way to go.

She couldn't sleep, and her mind kept thinking: Will he come downstairs and open her door again? The bedroom key is in the drawer under the TV cabinet, will he find it?

Later, she found that she had been pulled by the locked door all night, was she looking forward to Lu Ziyuan opening the door and walking in?

It's insane! It's just been in the same bed for a while, and without him, can't you sleep alone?

Nanshio! You're not such a lonely woman! Don't be ashamed!

She scolded herself and covered her head with a quilt. Although there was no noise outside, she still blocked her ears vigorously and ordered herself to go to bed quickly.

After covering myself in the quilt for a while, not only did I not fall asleep, but it became difficult to breathe.

She kicked the quilt away angrily, and at that moment she heard the sound of movement outside the door, softly, as if she was afraid of alarming the sleeping people in the middle of the night.

This time she didn't move, just lifted her head off the pillow and listened intently for a while, and it was indeed someone moving.

But she waited for a while, her neck was twisted, and she didn't hear the key open the door or turn the lock. She got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the door, stepped on the floor, put her ear to the door, listened carefully, and the sound was gone.

She gently twisted the lock, opened the door a crack, and peeked out secretly.

There was no light in the living room, it was dark.

She looked in the direction of the second floor again, and the staircase light was not on, and the second floor was even darker and quieter.

If Lu Zaiyuan came downstairs, he couldn't have turned on the lights. Could it be that she has insomnia tonight and has auditory hallucinations?

Frustrated, she was about to close the door when she heard the sound of a soo from the window. Immediately afterward, I heard the soft sound of "click", as if someone was eating potato chips.

She walked out, turned on the lamp on the side of the windowsill, and saw Nanhewo sitting under the windowsill, holding a bucket of potato chips in her arms, her eyes looking in the direction of a void, completely unaffected by the sudden light, eating potato chips intently.

"Little river......" she called softly.

Nanhe didn't even blink his eyes, as if his soul was out of his body, completely ignoring Nanxi's appearance.

Such a sister, how familiar Nanxi is, and how terrifying it is for her. Are those terrible heart-wrenching days coming back again?

Nanxi's heart hurt, her nose was sore, and tears fell.

She walked over, sat down next to her sister, and turned her head to look at her sister's face: "Xiaohe, what's wrong with you?" How much do you have on your mind, can't you talk to your sister? โ€

Nanhe treats her like nothing and continues to eat potato chips.

Nanxi knew that she couldn't wake up her sister, and she couldn't wake up her sister at this time. She was sad and leaned next to her sister, silently shedding tears......

I don't know how long she sat there, but she fell asleep against the wall.
