<strong>Chapter 596: Chapter 399 – Missing Nanxi! I miss her a lot! [Extra]_1</strong>
As Lu Yinchu drove away from the Lu family residence, he nced at the time, it was half past eleven at night.
He was wracked by a twinge of pain between his eyebrows. “Damn!”
He had promised to pick her up. So overwhelmed by sorrow that he hadpletely forgotten about it!
Was she waiting for him now? Or had she fallen asleep?
He wanted to make a call. His fingers twitched, yet ultimately, he did not.
He’d go straight to her instead. If she had fallen asleep, then he’d let her sleep a little longer!
As he drove into the downtown area, the outside of the car window was cloaked in the mist of the rain. It was raining!
He looked up at the sky above, squinted his eyes, and began to miss Nanxi terribly. Painfully!
He remembered a night in Hong Kong many years ago when he was driving home from the hospital. He spotted Nanxi sheltering from the rain, looking helpless in front of a small mall near the vi district.
What time was it then? Around nine o’clock? Or was it around ten?
People came and went, but she always stood there obediently, looking around as if waiting for someone.
He thought she must be waiting for Gu Xuehong!
But why was she alone here sote at night?
With a slight frown, he picked up an umbre next to him, ready to get out of the car.
At twenty-four, Lu Yinchu exuded a certain maturity in his youth. He had always felt precocious and was afraid that he might frighten Nanxi.
She was only fourteen then. That was incredibly young for him!
He approached step by step, his heart beating faster and faster, just like an innocent boy stepping into love, approaching the girl he had been admiring…
However, when he was less than ten meters away from her, a man in a raincoat ran past him, shouting, “Nanxi…”
It was Gu Xuehong…
He stopped in his tracks, pulling a self-mocking smile.
In his line of sight, he saw Gu Xuehong wrap Nanxi tightly in his raincoat, take her to his car, and then drive away, the sshing rainwater passing by his car, moving further away…
That was the first time he gathered the courage to show himself before her, even if just as a benevolent stranger offering an umbre…
But in the end, his courage dissipated in the rain…
It was then, he left a ck umbre where Nanxi had been standing, and alone he walked into the rain. The moment the cold rain soaked his skin, heughed…
And then he shook withughter, which tugged at the wound on his shoulder, causing a slight pain…
Because of that rain, an infection developed in his wound, and he was bedridden with a high fever in the hospital for a week!
That was the second time he did something foolish for her!
Yes, the second time!
The first time was when he saved her in the sea, the infection was severe, he stayed in the hospital for half a month before returning to his residence…
He thought, in his life, Nanxi was perhaps the only woman for whom he would risk his life and health foolishly!
However, as he aged, such foolish incidents grew fewer and fewer, because he felt that if you love someone, you would not want to burden them. Instead, you want them to be better off and happier!
Because, you believe that no one else but you can give her that happiness!
Therefore, for these reasons, you will love and cherish yourself even more, including your body and life!
Thinking back to those reminiscences, his expression softened and became distant. Unnoticed, smoke from his cigarette choked him, causing a bout of steady coughing!
Ahead, the traffic light turned red, he was taken by surprise and braked sharply, causing a chorus of car horns to sound behind him…
It was unnerving…
A series of mobile phone rings snapped him back to reality at that moment.
The number was from Gui Xi.
He took a deep breath,posed himself, and answered, “Hello?”
“Are you free? Can youe over to my apartment? I need to speak with you…”
The voice of Gui Xi was full of depression and lowliness, as if he had been drinking, carrying a certain element of hoarseness.
Yinchu frowned, extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, and asked him, “Now?”
“Yes, now! I’ll be waiting for you!” After saying this, he hung up the phone without giving Yinchu a chance to refuse.
Yinchu stayed silent for a moment, and finally started the car, heading in the direction of Gui Xi’s apartment.
…
The next morning, at eight o’clock, Yang Su and Lan Qiqi had both gone to work. Nanxi was all alone, sleeping on Yang Su’s bed, feeling gloomy and not wanting to get up.
In her phone, there were no messages, no missed calls. Had he really forgotten about her?
The sound of a doorbell ringing brought Nanxi out of her self-made whirlpool of guesswork and anxiety. After a few seconds, she immediately sprang from the bed!
At this time, the one who could be ringing the doorbell could only be Yinchu!
She had known it! There must have been an emergencyst night which kept him from picking her up. He cherished and loved her so much, how could he forget hers?
Impossible!
Without thinking further, she quickly jumped off the bed and ran towards the door without even wearing shoes.
Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and came face to face with the person outside…
A faint hint of disappointment shed in her eyes, but seeing the other party’s shocked expression, she cracked a slight smile, “Hi~ Feifei, you…you are back!”
The person at the door, Liao Feifei: “…”
…
Fifteen minutester, Nanxi, after freshening up and getting dressed, appeared in the living room.
In the living room,
Liao Feifei and a man in histe twenties were sitting there, conversing, about the interview information in their hands.
Seeing Nanxie out, both Liao Feifei and the man looked up at her.
Liao Feifei cleared her throat, “Um, Nanxi, I forgot to introduce earlier. This is the team leader in charge of the special topic I am working on at the magazine agency, Team Leader Lin! He also graduated from H University. He had just graduated the year we enrolled…”
Then, Liao Feifei looked towards the man and said, “Senior, she is the ssmate I mentioned to you… Nanxi!”
Nanxi was startled. So that’s why Liao Feifei’s face was so unsightly earlier. She was here to introduce Nanxi to her future boss!
Now what? The way she presented herself earlier…
Nanxi awkwardly smiled, bowed, and said to the man, “Hello, senior, I’m Gu Nanxi! Looking forward to your guidance!”
The man: “…”
He coughed slightly and stretched out a hand with a somber expression. Nanxi quickly grasped it.
The man’s palm was a bit cool. He opened his mouth, his voice smooth, “Lin Pinzhi! You can call me Senior like Feifei.”
Nanxi nodded, “Okay, Senior!”
After the man looked her up and down, he spoke again, “Feifei has shown me your profile, as well as some articles you’ve published at school’s magazine. They’re quite good! For the current project on adolescent education, I’m nning to do it long-term and need manpower. If there’s no issue,e join my team as my assistant along with Feifei…”
Nanxi: “…”
The man frowned, “What? Is there a problem?”
“No, no problem at all!” Nanxi hastily replied. This was a job offer, wasn’t it? Of course, there was no problem!
The man looked at her and smiled faintly, “Then, it’s settled!”
“Okay!” Nanxi responded.
Thinking of something again, she bowed once more, “Thank you, Senior!”
As she raised her head and looked up, her eyes curved into crescents, very beautiful!
