The World Owes Me a First Love

Chapter 17: I don't like you that much, I just happened to meet you 16

Xing Yun felt very so-called at first. After all, she was not familiar with Xia Ke’s sister, and she only met today for the first time. Although she was joked that made her nervous enough that she was about to collapse, it was not counted. Malice, not serious enough to need to accompany her to the hospital to make up for it.

But soon her external feelings faded away. She deserves to be a sibling. In a way, Shen Qing and Xia Ke are still a bit like, they are also very talkative and can ease the atmosphere, even if she is a little bit introverted. I'm not very good at dealing with strangers, and I didn't feel embarrassed when I was alone with Shen Qing. Instead, I felt a kind of intimacy at first sight.

They had been tossing in the hospital until more than three o’clock in the afternoon that day. It turned out that Xia Ke made a fuss. Her feet did not cause any serious problems. It was normal that they looked more swollen than the day before. Excessive exercise, mainly rest.

Seeing the doctor grant a full week of sick leave in front of Xia Ke, her mood was beyond description.

It’s just that this kind of good mood seems to her parents to inevitably associate too much...

"How is it? Is there any progress?" As soon as she got home, her mother leaned forward excitedly and asked.

Xing Yun lifted the leg on that hand, "My leg is broken like this, how can I make progress."

"...How did this happen? Didn't you stay overnight at Chu Nan's house last night?" Zhu Qin asked as she reached out and helped her onto the sofa in the living room.

"It was accidentally twisted. It's okay. The doctor said it would be fine to rest for a few days..." She was a little guilty and could only cleverly bypass the topic of where she slept last night.

Fortunately, her mother didn't ask much, and after looking worriedly at her foot injury, she quickly turned around and sent her dad to buy pig's feet.

She knew it. Most of her parents had acquiesced to the night she spent at Chu Nan's house last night, and they might even think that they had reached the point where they were uncooking rice and cooking mature rice. She did not explain this matter.

She also wanted to take advantage of the rare break to pay off the private work debts that she had accumulated before, if her parents knew that she just ate a meal at Chu Nan’s house last night and slipped away before eating completely. She had to miss her, and she shouldn't expect to work well.

They wouldn't know if she didn't say anything. With a fluke mentality that more is worse than less, she buried her head in the study and waited for the pig's feet soup with peace of mind.

However, this peace did not last long.

When it was almost time for dinner, her mother's call came from outside the study, "Xiaoyun, come out now."

"Oh, wait a minute, you'll be ready right away, you can eat first..." She was absent-minded in return, and cleared the drawing in her hand not much. She wanted to do it all in one go.

This blatant "do not disturb" wish was ignored by her mother as always, but this time, her mother did not kick in as roughly as before, but was uncharacteristically gentle...

"Don't be busy, you can do the work for a while, come out first to greet the guests."

Xing Yun was so soft that he could pinch out the water and frightened him back.

The guests? What guest?

She turned her eyes in confusion, looked towards the door, glanced over her mother's extremely gentle and skillful smiling face, and saw the so-called guest...

Chu Nan? !

That’s right, it’s Chu Nan, dressed very formally, more formal than any previous meeting between them, standing erect at the door of her study, with a slightly stiff smile, and an uncomfortable expression all over her body. breath.

She had a ghostly expression on her face. Before she could think about it, she blurted out her surprise, "Why are you here?!"

"You kid, how do you talk!" Before he could say anything, Zhu Qin glanced at her daughter. Considering that there were outsiders, she was still a little restrained, resisting the attack, and squeezed hard. She smiled, "I called Xiaochu to have dinner. Thanks to him for taking care of you last night, I'm so embarrassed. No matter how you say it, thank him..." Then, she turned her head and looked back. Behind him, Chu Nan said, "Xiao Yun only mentioned what happened last night when he came back in the afternoon. Her father and I didn't have time to prepare anything. Don't mind if you have tea and light meals."

"……"Hey! When you asked me to go to Chu Nan's house overnight on the phone last night, you didn't feel embarrassed at all!

wrong! Now is not the time to complain!

Xing Yun quickly realized a more serious problem-the person who took care of her last night was not Chu Nan at all! He doesn't even know what she experienced last night!

Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Chu Nan, even her breathing was stagnant, for fear that everything would go through in the next second.

What she didn't expect was...

With a humble smile, he said nonchalantly, "Where, taking care of Xing Yun was originally what I should do. When I sent her back in the afternoon, I wondered if I should come up and visit you, but I was afraid that it would be disturbed if it was too sudden. you guys."

"..." Actually helping her lie? !

"Oh, what are these words? You can come anytime, just treat this as your own home, anyway, sooner or later you will be a family." Zhu Qin's smile became more and more ardent.

"Mom..." Xing Yun was a little irritated by the way he wanted to clear her out.

"I haven't talked about you yet. I didn't mention the matter of having dinner with Xiao Chu's parents last night. If it weren't for what Xiao Chu said just now, I and your dad still don't know."

"Do you know the difference." She doesn't have the EQ of Chu Nan, and her tone of voice has begun to show impatience.

"How can you say that? People specially invited you to dinner. It stands to reason that we should be thankful. What if we make my relatives feel that we are not courteous?"

"No, don't mind, it's just a light meal."

"..." Sooner or later, it was still a family, just a few words of effort, has become in-laws? !

"It's okay if you don't mind, then we have a chance to meet our parents and have a good chat..."

"Mom!" Xing Yun couldn't help it, and interrupted her mother loudly, and didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Chu Nan, so he could only take a few deep breaths in succession to stabilize his emotions. Finally, she calmed down a little bit before she opened her lips again, "Don't you need to prepare?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I will prepare, and you will have a chat with Chu Nan."

"Ok……"

After sending her mother away, Xing Yun didn't know what to say for a while, always felt that the atmosphere between them seemed more embarrassing than before.

On the contrary, Chu Nan walked into the study casually, looked around, and finally fell on her computer screen, "This is the first time I have seen your paintings."

"Uh... just paint casually, it's not a masterpiece." It is also the first time that she has shown her own paintings to someone outside of her work relationship, and she always finds it weird.

"No, it's very good..." He lowered his eyes and looked at the hand-painted screen in front of her, "Is it painted on this?"

"Yep."

After that, he continued to ask some things related to her work, and he could feel that he didn't have much interest in this aspect, and he was just looking for a topic to talk about.

The atmosphere was too blunt, and Xing Yun couldn't hold it anymore...

"Don't you ask me?" Before he tried to find the next topic, she took the initiative to break the silence.

He shook slightly, a little surprised, and then said after a moment: "Is it about last night?"

"Ok……"

"You probably didn't talk to your parents too much because you were afraid of trouble? Understandably, I rarely talk to my parents about this after I get home."

The thoughtfulness he showed is beyond fault, but Xing Yun always feels that it shouldn't be like this, "It's not the problem, you...you are not curious where I spent the night last night?"

"Is it at your boss's house?"

"……how do you know?"

"Did you not be called by your boss temporarily because of work? I probably heard your mother mention something just now. It seems that it was because you lost your key and your parents happened to be traveling again. I guess your boss shouldn't I will leave you alone."

"Uh...it's true, but..." She hesitated, "My boss is a man."

"Huh?" He finally understood what Xing Yun meant. "Are you explaining to me? I'm afraid I will misunderstand what is between you and your boss?"

"..." Generally speaking, you will misunderstand, right? Suddenly she learned that her girlfriend had not returned all night, and lied to her parents that she spent the night at her own house, but it turned out to be at the house of a male boss. Normal people would misunderstand it. Even if he is angry, or even propose to break up, she feels reasonable Something in it.

It was true that she hadn't dealt with it well, she hadn't thought about it well enough, and she hadn't even realized what she should pay attention to when she was not single anymore. The moment she was exposed by her mother, she was already mentally prepared enough.

However, in these preparations, Chu Nan's current reaction was not the only thing, and it was so calm that it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Don't worry, I won't think about it. If you and your boss really have anything, you won't have a blind date, will you?"

"That's right, but..." Too sensible! Is this the reason why so many girls like uncles? Mature and stable, I won’t lose my temper, and I don’t think too much. It sounds perfect.

"But what?"

"Nothing." But she always felt wrong, which was not the same as the love she had originally imagined. This is a bit hypocritical, and she also knows that the love she imagined is too utopian. For an overly rational person like Chu Nan, it is simply an unrealistic delusion. So she decided not to say these words, pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go, it's almost time to eat, my dad's cooking is delicious."

Chu Nan felt that something was wrong with her, and could even guess why she was wrong.

Logically, he should be more nervous, even jealous, as if Shen Qing used to have a meal with a male client, even if he knew that it was just a business matter, he would still pick her up no matter how tired he was after get off work. He also deliberately swears sovereignty in front of men who are not rivals in love. Shen Qing often laughs at him for being naive... Well, it is indeed naive, he knows it, but he can’t control it, and liking someone is fundamentally out of control. thing.

But he said to Xing Yun...

Frankly speaking, after hearing about her situation last night, his first reaction turned out to be—heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't come to him, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

With this mind in mind, even if he knows that his reaction is not right, it is difficult to interpret the emotions that a boyfriend should have.
