Chapter 10: The Return

Two days later, in the morning, Natsu finally returned, but first she returned to the small house she had rented.

These days, she has been soaking in Ruan Zhan's place, but the rent here is paid for a year at a time, so the house still belongs to her, but she has not been inhabited for a long time, and the room is filled with a strange smell mixed with musty smell.

After cleaning up and opening the window to change the air, she decided to go home and live, there was nothing dangerous now, she shouldn't stay with Ruan Zhan. Besides, she thinks that Ah Bai is right, or she is pressing too hard, leaving a little space for each other, even if she can't get his love, at least she can see the truth of many things clearly, just like the so-called take a step back and open the sky!

She planned to find a job in the afternoon, then buy some spare groceries, clean the refrigerator, and clean the bathroom. Or, buy a new outfit for a change of mood. Otherwise, dye your hair.

Thinking about these trivial matters, she inadvertently saw herself in the mirror, her face was panicked, her face was nervous, and then she realized that these things she planned were just an excuse for her to delay time and not dare to see Ruan Zhan, she was afraid of seeing his indifferent expression. What's more, she was afraid that he would laugh at her, because she ran away from home herself, and then ran back with a disgraced face!

After hesitating for a long time, she still forced herself to face him. As long as she pretends to be relaxed and cool, it's fine. She heard several married sisters in Changkong say that men are masters who don't go away and go backwards, if you don't care about him, he will care about you.

However, can you do it without caring about him?

In any case, Xiao Xia still went to the bar, although she first went to the beauty salon to do a full body treatment on the way, and then went to the hairdresser to cut her hair short, and bought new clothes, and rubbed it all afternoon, but in the evening, when there were the most drinkers, she had no excuse and still walked into the door of 'Night Home'. In fact, it was said that she walked in, but it was better to be squeezed in, when she blocked the door and hesitated and looked, it hindered the two little sisters chasing Liu Tie and Ni Yang, and was bumped in without saying anything.

Her unexpected 'break-in', with the backdrop of the two chirping little sisters, made everyone notice her appearance. For a moment, she was a little overwhelmed, although she saw from outside the door that it was not Ruan Zhan who was standing at the bar, but Bao Datong.

She quickly glanced around, Ruan Zhan was not there, and Wan Li was not there. This made her feel a mixed emotion in her heart, relieved, but a little lost.

"Natsu-chan!" Bao Datong screamed in surprise, and his voice was so loud that it startled everyone, "Why are you back?" ”

It's so harsh, like she shouldn't have come back!

Seeing that Bao Datong was so happy that he couldn't even walk well, and jumped out of the bar directly, Xiao Xia glared at him and argued, "My trip is over, can't I come?" Didn't you open your doors to do business? ”

"You can come, you can come. Welcome! Bao Datong looked very happy, "Come, let the senior brother hug you, see if you have lost weight." ”

Xiao Xia pushed away the arm he circled, seeing that he was so happy about his return, and his heart was also very happy, and he was about to say something, when he heard a chaotic sound at the stairs, and Wanli's figure appeared.

"Dead girl, you still know to come back! Didn't make a phone call when you went on a trip, did you bring me a gift back? ”

is still empathetic, never mentioning her running away from home, giving her a step, and letting her step down smoothly. The happiness on his face and the inquiries were so sincere that Xiao Xia forgot the reason for his angry departure for a moment, thinking that he was really going on a trip.

What a gentle and considerate man, what a good man, always for the sake of others, will always make others comfortable, if she falls in love with him, she should live a peaceful and happy life, and be held in the palm of his hand every day, right? But she just fell in love with the elusive and imminent Ruan Zhan, and she didn't have any remorse, thinking of him, her heart would tighten!

"We should have gifts, right?" Bao Datong coaxed, Liu Tie and Ni Yang also came to join in the fun, and for a while, Xiao Xia became the star in the bar.

"You didn't give me travel expenses, I almost came back from begging, how can I have money to buy gifts." Xiao Xia glanced at them, feeling that it was really easy to get along with these men. Still, she went deeper into the bar, peeking around the corner of the stairs, searching for the man she had been thinking about.

Isn't he there? Where did he go? Or did he not want to see her? The sound insulation effect on the second floor is very good, no matter how loud Bao Datong screams, he will not hear it, unless Ruan Zhan senses her return, in the palpitation of the moment just now, she did not deliberately block her heart. But why did Wanli run downstairs in surprise and he didn't show up?! Is it really hard to face?

She speculated, nervous until two slender legs appeared at the corner of the stairs, and then a man hesitantly appeared in front of Xiao Xia.

It's him! Someone she loves and hates! He was still quiet and detached, still with crisp and simple clothes and hair, but the whole person was much haggard, which was a little different from before. At this moment, one of his hands was gripping the railing so tightly that his fingers turned white, and his face was even more snow-white, and his eyes were as black as the eyes of the night, and all the lights in the bar were dimmed by it!

I have thought about it many times, I have previewed the scene of the meeting many times, she was going to say hello coolly, as if nothing had happened, she was going to resolve these embarrassments in a chic and mature manner, but when the four eyes met, Xiao Xia subconsciously wanted to escape, although her steps couldn't move away at all.

"Xiao Xia, aren't you going upstairs to get something? What are you doing in a daze?! ”

It's nice to have a thousand miles! He's so nice! He's here to relieve her again!

"Oh." Xiao Xia answered, slowly stepped up the stairs, and every step she approached Ruan Zhan, she felt his breath wrap around her, making her heart beat so fast that it was about to rush out of her throat!

Passing by him, she continued upstairs, feeling his somewhat weak steps following her. When she got to the room, she turned abruptly, and looked at him defiantly, though she was also weak in her heart. I saw that his eyes kept falling on her, and his mouth opened twice, but he didn't say a word.

"I'm going home." After being silent for a long time, Xiao Xia could only come up with such a sentence.

"Why?" Ruan Zhan rushed out.

"Because- there's no danger now, I can't stay here all the time."

"I like you to lie on it." Ruan Zhan replied again without thinking, and the doting meaning in his tone made him stunned.

Xiao Xia lowered her head, hiding the joy in her heart. It turned out that he also had a crush on her, at least he was different from her. In other words, if she tried, she might be able to get his heart1

Looking at her lowered head and looking at the back of her delicate neck, Ruan Zhan really wanted to hold her in his arms and never let go. At this moment, he was suddenly a little uncertain, and he was suddenly very afraid, not sure if she was standing in front of him if she was real, and afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her short hair, which was under her cute ears, but finally suppressed his urge and put his hand down.

Life or death? Which one was better for her, he had already decided. But because of the strong desire in his heart, this decision kept wavering, and he constantly doubted whether he was doing the right thing. People are like this, they are really emotional, and no matter how smart, calm and rational people are, they are stupid, they suffer from gains and losses, they don't know if they are doing the right thing, and they don't know what to do next.

It's easy to be desperate, but it's like a knife hanging around his neck, how can he let it go?! And I don't know why, the more he loves her, the more he feels that he can't survive the catastrophe that is destined for heaven. Do you want her to face death? No way! He would rather she hate him and hate him than spend her life in sadness.

"I'd better go back first, I'm not going to be polite when it's time to get a laipi." Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Xia even took a small step back, and quickly eased the atmosphere, reminding herself that he must have a hard time and not to be too anxious, although she really wanted to confess to him now.

Ruan Zhan didn't speak, Xiao Xia had to take something casually and walk past him. But he didn't expect him to suddenly hold her wrist, "Where have you been these days?" ”

"Walk around." Xiao Xia pretended to be relaxed and said, "My travel plans are rather casual. ”

Ruan Zhan glanced at Xiao Xia's face and frowned, "Didn't you encounter anything?" ”

Xiao Xia hesitated, but still planned not to tell Ruan Zhan about He Fugui, there was no reason, why did he worry? Anyway, she's got rid of those two evils. In the future, she will find a way to cure He Fugui, not because of herself, but for the wife who was sold by He Fugui, of course, she must use legitimate legal means.

"Nope."

"There's a chill on your yang fire, it's impossible to be fine." He was so excited when he saw her that he only noticed the abnormality in her now.

"That's—I went to visit Abai and stayed with her for a while. If there's anything wrong with me, it's probably because I've been with her a little longer. If you think it's wrong, let Bao Datong help me drive it away. ”

"Is it really nothing?" Ruan Zhan asked again, staring at Xiao Xia.

Yin and Yang should be separated from each other and cannot be touched at will, and it is naturally inappropriate for people and spirits to stay for a long time, even if the spirits have no intention of harming people. According to Xiao Xia, she was caused by being with Ah Bai, which made sense, and he really didn't expect her to go to Ah Bai. But Xiao Xia's explanation always made Ruan Zhan feel that something was wrong, why did he always feel that the cold air on the yang fire was black, and there was a dangerous atmosphere?

Looking closely, her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiao Xia's face, seeing that this 'trip' made her lovely chin slim and sharp, and a burst of gentle emotions suddenly surged in her heart, I really wanted time to stop like that, and only the two of them were left in heaven and earth.

"It's really nothing." Looking at Ruan Zhan's eyes, Xiao Xia was a little flustered, "Then I'll go first." ”

She ran away quickly, but forgot that her wrist was still being pulled tightly by Ruan Zhan, so she was suddenly pulled back and hit him in the chest. This made her feel evil, so she simply didn't do anything, picked up her feet, kissed him the lips, made a loud kissing sound, and then ran downstairs with a smoke while Ruan Zhan was completely frozen in shock.

"Something bad happened, my face was red." As soon as he arrived downstairs, he was pulled by Wan Li, "Didn't you rub Ah Zhan's oil!" ”

"You have to take care of it!" Xiao Xia didn't dare to look at Wan Li's face, and was afraid that Ruan Zhan would chase him down, so he had to rely on waving hello to Bao Datong to hide the panic in his heart. I thought I was so inferior, just a kiss, as for being scared like this! What a shame for all women! Every woman sitting in this bar longed for such an opportunity, but she was shocked like a thief when she had such an opportunity.

Wan Li and Bao Datong refused to let her go, so she had to briefly talk about the things along the way, of course, she didn't mention He Fugui. A few people giggled and laughed, and they didn't make trouble until midnight before Xiaoxia was sent home by Wanli. During this time, Ruan Zhan has not appeared, and he doesn't know what a person is doing.

"Director Pan told you to go back." Wanli and Xiao Xia walked back slowly on this cool late autumn night, "He was very angry. I think he thinks very highly of you, and it's really a bit irresponsible for you to suddenly quit like this. ”

"I'm afraid he'll beat me." Xiao Xia wanted to play tricks, "I thought that if I left, it would make him feel relaxed!" ”

"Do you think that if you leave, Ah Zhan will be relaxed? What you think is wrong, it will only make him feel distressed and guilty. I just said that men and women are creatures on two planets, and it is difficult to understand each other. Since there are only two people, Wan Li no longer hides it, "I know that you hate Ah Zhan and erased your memory, but he has a hard time, and he doesn't want to hurt you." ”

"Got it."

"You can come back and prove that you figured it out, and promise me not to do it in the future. In order to find you, I won't say how anxious Bao Datong and I are, Ah Zhan almost lost half his life, didn't you see him haggard a lot? He's desperately using all of his psionic powers to search for your location, and it's a bit too much for you to block telepathy. ”

"I'm sorry." Xiao Xia thought of Ruan Zhan's appearance, and felt distressed, "I didn't mean to, I just-"

She suddenly stopped, feeling a strange sensation rise all around her!

Wanli was dragged by Xiao Xia, who stopped suddenly, and only then did he want to ask what was going on, but he also felt that the situation was wrong.

Although it was the middle of the night, the surroundings were eerily quiet, and I could hear the beating of my heart, but I couldn't hear the occasional passing car. The clearest thing is that in the darkness in the distance, there is the sound of gongs and drums of Peking Opera, and next, it is the nondescript recitation.

"Yue Xiaoxia, if you offend us, do you still want to escape?"

"We are famous for repaying kindness and revenge!"

"Good hiding, but we can still find you!"

"Come on, today next year will be your sacrifice day."

"It's a pity that your soul can't be saved."

Sentence after sentence of dialogue came, without giving people a chance to answer at all, and at the same time, in the dark, two women with extremely bright clothes and extremely bright faces walked slowly. It's very slow, but it suddenly comes to Wanli and Xiao Xia.
