The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 3 Reunion

Nie Ranqing has been rehearsing that the moment she sees Lu Pei and Nie Ranxi, there may be a big fight, but it is more likely that they will look at each other coldly, talk coldly, and then become strangers, but the real situation is that when parents Under the gaze of everyone, everyone is very calm.

Nie Ranqing got out of the car and saw Lu Pei standing at the door from a distance. The sun was too dazzling, and his expression was blurred. Nie Ranxi came up to meet him, his smile was still gentle, his figure was still slim, and even a little thinner.

She was wearing a light dress, and the pearl necklace around her neck made her skin fairer. She was as elegant as a beautiful white swan.

Nie Ranqing walked up to her, bent her beautiful eyes, held her hand, and called softly, "Ranqing."

Nie Ranqing nodded and smiled: "Sister, long time no see."

Smiles are something like real things after a long time of practice, and they can be easily acquired.Nie Ranxi was a little shorter than her. At this moment, she took Nie Ranqing's arm and went back to the house together, and said with a little reproach: "You know it's been a long time, I've been in England for so long, and you don't know a single call I called every time, but you still said you were busy, what are you busy with, how can you be so busy as a university teacher?"

Starting from the place touched by Nie Ranxi, Nie Ranqing felt uncomfortable all over, and said casually, "I'm just busy."

Xi Jinnan and Lu Pei followed Father Nie to the study, while Nie Ranxi and Nie Ranqing sat in the living room chatting with their mother.It is better to say that it is a small talk than quietly listening to the mother's instruction.Mother Nie has always been strict, and she hates Nie Ranqing even more.At the beginning when I heard that Nie Ranqing had applied for the automation major, I almost fainted from anger, but Nie Ranqing made up her mind to take classes with Lu Pei, so I had a cold war with my mother for three days. Qing temporarily wins.

But later, Lu Pei still succumbed, and after the start of school, he was admitted to a high-quality class because of his excellent grades in the entrance examination. A year later, he followed the wishes of his family and transferred to business school. I tossed and tossed with my parents separately for a year, but in the end I still did nothing.

Yao Mi, who has always been strong in mathematics, can't count the stupid things Nie Ranqing did for Lu Pei.

The mother was sitting upright, with her back straight, which made Nie Ranqing, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, feel a little guilty. As soon as she sat upright, she heard her mother ask her: "How are you doing recently?"

Nie Ranqing nodded, like a primary school student receiving education from the head teacher: "Fortunately, after two days of summer vacation, Jinnan and I plan to travel, but we haven't decided where to go yet."

Nie Ranxi interjected: "Mom, Lu Pei and I are planning to go to Hainan, you and Dad can go together."

Nie's mother smiled like something: "Come on, you young people, go, we will make trouble if we go with old bones, and besides, it's so hot outside, your father and I don't want to move."

"What are you talking about, Mom, let's make it so. I'll discuss it with Lu Pei at night."

Nie Ranqing looked at her coldly. Nie Ranxi has always been better at talking, doing things, and pleasing people than her. Her jealousy has been worn away in the past twenty years. When Lu Pei got married, Nie Ranqing felt that he could almost coexist peacefully with her.

Nie Ranqing looked at her mother who was grinning from ear to ear, and felt her eyes hurt a little.

At dinner, Nie Ranqing was sitting on Xi Jinnan's right hand side. On her right was Nie Ranxi, followed by Lu Pei. Made indigestion.

The men were talking from time to time. Nie Ranqing was not very interested in these things, and was eating with his head depressed. Suddenly, he heard his father ask Lu Pei: "What do you plan to do when you return to China?"

Lu Pei's voice was still warm: "I discussed it with my parents two days ago, and I will probably visit the company here in a week."

Father Nie nodded and said, "Your qualifications have always been good, so it's no problem to work hard."

Lu Pei responded respectfully.

Nie Ranqing didn't say a word, suddenly a piece of braised eggplant fell into her bowl, looked up, Xi Jinnan's chopsticks had been retracted, and said flatly: "I have been eating meat, eat more vegetables."

Nie Ranqing took a bite, slightly puzzled, he never cared what she ate.

Nie Ranxi said: "Ranqing, I went to the south for your own good. If you don't like vegetables, you can eat a little."

She was put on such a big hat without saying anything, Nie Ranxi is doing well.

Nie Ranqing resisted the desire to drop her chopsticks and finished the meal.

After dinner, Nie's mother called Nie Ranqing, who was frightened, to give him a thoughtful pre-bedtime education.She has been worried about the marriage between Nie Ranqing and Xi Jinnan. She thinks that this marriage is hasty, and they usually look indifferent. If they don't add some catalyst, they are afraid that something will happen in the future.

Nie Ranqing listened absently, and couldn't help but reply after she finished speaking: "Mom, how can there be so many troubles, do you think there will be a third party coming out? Then you have too little confidence in your daughter." gone."

Mother Nie didn't give her face at all: "I just don't have confidence in you."

"Even so, having a baby won't solve any problems..."

Mother Nie grabbed the conversation: "So there is still a problem between the two of you?"

"..."

Nie Ranqing said so many mistakes, so she had to pretend to be drowsy early, and was finally let go by her slightly displeased mother, and returned to the bedroom early.

Xi Jinnan was leaning on the edge of the bed casually flipping through her childhood photo albums, seemingly very interested, seeing her come back listlessly, he smiled: "Tired?"

Nie Ranqing was lying on the bed, her hair was completely loose, and she had no image: "No, I don't want to be lectured by my mother, so I came back pretending to be sleepy."

Xi Jinnan smiled slightly: "Is Mom so scary, even chatting is regarded as a lecture by you."

"That's not chatting, it's just big eyes and small eyes. When I left, my mother looked at me like she was looking at a fellow party member who defected. The weather has been dry recently, and she is more angry. I am diesel fuel there. If it really spilled, my dad probably won't sleep tonight."

She opened the thin quilt and got in, and Xi Jinnan also lay down, patted her on the shoulder and said, "I just saw the photos in your closet, and there is a very cute one, the one where you are dragging the toy elephant."

"Thank you so much. You were the first to say that I was cute when I was young. In fact, it doesn't matter if you say I'm ugly and fat. I don't mind, because that's the truth."

"Underestimate yourself so much? Unexpectedly, when you were a child, you smiled cunningly, squinting your eyes, like a little fox."

"I didn't underestimate myself. You didn't see the picture of my sister. If you saw me not smiling when I was young, you would definitely not marry me."

He hugged her from behind, surrounded by a familiar aura, Nie Ranqing closed his eyes, and heard him chuckle: "Am I judging people by their appearance?"

"...That's not the point, okay?"

"Then what's the point?"

Nie Ranqing said casually: "For example, if you continue to comfort me, saying that I was really cute when I was young, even if you saw me when I was young, you would still marry me."

His voice seemed to be very pleasant: "Actually, what I just wanted to say is that you are cute when you are silly."

"..."

Xi Jinnan confessed that he really didn't have a good impression of her going to the bar.Nie Ranqing asked: "Do you think girls should not go to bars?"

He smiled and said, "Going to bars is not exclusive to men, and of course girls can go too. But drinking so much alcohol for the first time like you, and even throwing a fit at others, is really...uh, brave."

In fact, even if he didn't say anything, Nie Ranqing would feel a little ashamed.

Nie Ranqing went to the bar for the first time, only by herself, not even Yao Mi.It was the second night after she broke up with Lu Pei. At that time, she just wanted to get drunk, although she had never been drunk, not even liquor.The situation at that time was bloody and shocking. The police uncle said that it is true that women are not allowed to go to unsafe places alone, although the truth is generally nonsense.Nie Ranqing was approached before he was half drunk, and the way he approached him was so traditional that it made people want to laugh: "Miss, it must be very lonely to buy drunk alone at night, right?"

The impression of that person was really not good, his body smelled of cigarettes, his mouth was full of wine, and his belly was full of fat. Nie Ranqing glanced at him and continued to drink.

As a result, the man didn't leave, but sat down beside her and watched her drink.

He didn't know, he was adding fuel to the fire.Nie Ranqing gave him a hard look, as contemptuous as she could be, then she put the wine glass heavily on the table and left.But he kept up, pointing to a slim woman not far away and said, "Look over there, how thin her legs are!"

Nie Ranqing glanced at him sideways, sneered, feeling extremely disgusted in his heart, so he stopped, borrowed the strength of the wine, put one hand on his hip, and the other hand rudely pointed to the tip of his nose, and said softly and slowly: : "It's just you who are crooked and short, and you still look at other people's legs?"

After two years of marriage, Nie Ranqing's temper has been much restrained than before.Nie Ranqing's harsh speech back then, if she wanted to, would definitely drive people crazy.Sure enough, the man immediately became furious: "Tell me again if you have the ability!"

If Nie Ranqing was more aggressive, she would probably continue to irritate him, but she turned her head and pretended not to hear, and left with her bag.

Unexpectedly, that man was relentless. He stood in front of her and looked at her with his double chin up. Nie Ranqing stepped on the high heels and thought drowsily, he is really short, she can see him The bald head was gone.Nie Ranqing ignored him, bypassed him and continued walking.

It is predictable for a man to become angry because of a woman who lost face in front of everyone.So Nie Ranqing was not surprised to see him come around to her again.

She walked around him, and he lingered on her relentlessly, Nie Ranqing thought a little dizzily after drinking, it was like performing a live version of checkers.

The short man finally lost his composure, and was about to smash the wine bottle at her head.

What is a hero saving the beauty, what is a coincidence, what is justice over evil, what happens next moment takes up all these words.The short man's hand couldn't come down for a long time, Nie Ranqing looked up and found that Xi Jinnan's hand was firmly clutching the short man's wrist, the man was smiling slightly, but his face was still cold: "It's so good." A bottle of red wine, it’s not good to just spill it like this?”

Nie Ranqing admitted that she was a little bit overwhelmed at the time.Xi Jinnan's first encounter with her was the hero saving the beauty—although she didn't think she was beautiful, especially when she was standing with Nie Ranxi.Although she had always longed for this kind of joke to happen to her one day, when it really happened, Nie Ranqing couldn't believe it.

Later, Nie Ranqing left the bar smoothly, with Xi Jinnan's support.

Apart from her father and Lu Pei, Xi Jinnan was the first mature man she had come into such close contact with.

Or it can also be called a gentleman, although Nie Ranqing's performance at the time was hard to imagine.

Nie Ranqing still remembers that when Xi Jinnan helped her get into the car, the moment she accidentally threw himself into his arms at close range, she smelled the faint and refreshing scent of perfume.

That was the last thing she could remember that night.

When she woke up again, it was the next day, and Nie Ranqing woke up on the big soft bed in Xi Jinnan's single apartment. There was no one around her, and her clothes were still neat.

At this time, for the always timid Nie Ranqing, it is understandable to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although that night was a blank for Nie Ranqing, after marriage, Xi Jinnan told her very "kindly" that her performance at that time was absolutely shocking.He said: "I've never seen a girl's wine so bad. I asked you where your home was, and you told me that you wouldn't go home if I killed you. Then I took you to the hotel, and you were half sober. When I was half confused, I said that the hotel had a grudge against you, and then I took you back to my place, and finally dragged you into the bedroom, and you still hugged my arm and didn't let go, jumping and jumping on the bed, Then I touched the pattern on the head of the bed and said I wanted to draw it..."

Nie Ranqing interrupted him calmly: "How many girls have you seen drunk?"

He thought for a while, and said seriously, "You're the only one."

Nie Ranqing lazily replied, "That's all."

When he woke up the next morning, Xi Jinnan was no longer by his side, Nie Ranqing rubbed his eyes and looked at the pomegranate tree outside the window, feeling dazed for a moment.When she went to the living room after washing, she ran into her father who had returned from morning exercise, and Xi Jinnan.

Xi Jinnan was wearing dark sportswear, with bright eyes and a faint and respectful smile on his face.Father Nie was obviously in a good mood. Seeing Nie Ranqing standing there motionless, he smiled and waved at her: "Ranqing, are you sleeping late again?"

Nie Ranqing went over to take his father's arm, and said with a smile, "It's rare that I go home, I want to sleep a little longer."

Father Nie chuckled: "Well, let's get ready for breakfast. Your sister got up very early today and said she would show off her Chaoshan porridge."

Chaoshan casserole porridge is Lu Pei's favorite.Nie Ranqing nodded, still smiling: "Okay."

Xi Jinnan and Nie Ranqing have the same habit, they both like to stay in bed in the morning.At the beginning of their marriage, she was very surprised by his habit, but Xi Jinnan said with a normal face: "What's the matter, I am also a person, okay, I will be tired too."

Nie Ranqing was fooled by him and nodded in agreement.

So his behavior today really surprised Nie Ranqing.His unbreakable habit always allows others to accommodate him, but this time he is willing to take the initiative to accompany Father Nie to his morning exercises.After entering the bedroom, Nie Ranqing looked at Xi Jinnan and said, "Wake up so early to do morning exercises? It's really not your style."

He glanced at her, didn't speak, and went to change clothes on his own. Nie Ranqing followed up unwillingly, and said, "Xi Jinnan, you must have a purpose this morning. Dad went to morning exercises, and you followed him. Don't tell me." I you are because of filial piety, I don't believe it."

Xi Jinnan snorted and laughed: "I am so mercenary in your heart?"

Nie Ranqing said: "It's not about profit, it's because you always like to earn some added value. Look, you even brought home your sports clothes. It must have been premeditated."

Nie Ranqing blocked the door of the changing room and refused to go out. Xi Jinnan glanced at her and suddenly smiled ambiguously: "Together?"

Nie Ranqing blushed and snorted calmly: "Don't try to change the subject."

Xi Jinnan smiled again, and unhurriedly pulled down the zipper of his jacket. With a tall and straight body and a smooth chest, Nie Ranqing felt that her neck had started to turn red inch by inch, but her eyes were unconsciously looking at Xi Jinnan's upper body. wandering.

Ah bah, pervert.Nie Ranqing finally woke up, Xi Jinnan looked at her, smiled again, then put his hands on the belt around his waist, and made a gesture to untie it, Nie Ranqing screamed, and immediately shut himself in the door consciously outside.

Gritting her teeth, she heard Xi Jinnan's joyful laughter coming through the door.

During breakfast, Nie Ranqing watched Nie Ranxi serve Lu Pei casserole porridge, his eyes met, and the two were so harmonious that they seemed unable to tolerate others.Nie Ranqing looked at them, she admitted that she was narrow-minded, she just couldn't watch this scene, she glared and gnashed her teeth.

The mother who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "Ran Qing, do you plan to have a child?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Nie Ranqing sighed inwardly, and broke the silence after a while: "Of course the child will." I just don't know when it will be.

With the sound of Lu Pei's spoon ding, Nie Ranqing's heart suddenly trembled, and the scene was silent again.

She didn't raise any objection, Mother Nie probably felt that she shouldn't rush her too quickly, so she nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Ranxi is not young anymore, you and Lu Pei should also be more careful."

Nie Ranxi's soft voice sounded: "Well, Lu Pei and I are also discussing recently."

I ate a heart-pounding breakfast, and even my stomach was churning.Nie Ranqing and Nie Ranxi were sent by their mother to go shopping together. Nie Ranqing knew what her mother meant, and she hoped that they could get along well.It's a pity that she and Nie Ranxi have been at odds since they were young. Nie Ranqing thinks it's sad that the twins can become like this, but whoever made them fraternal twins, it would be strange if they had the same temperament.

Nie Ranxi walked in front with a parasol, and Nie Ranqing followed slowly behind with a bag in his hand. When Nie Ranxi finished looking at the jewelry and was about to go to the cosmetics, Nie Ranqing said slowly: " Nie Ranxi, I'm tired from shopping, I'll go to the coffee shop opposite, call me after you finish shopping."

Nie Ranxi nodded, and then the two became strangers.

It's hot outside, but it's cool inside the coffee shop.Nie Ranqing twirled the spoon in the cup boredly, and suddenly felt that someone was sitting across from her. She lifted her eyelids slightly impatiently, but after seeing it clearly, she took a deep breath and uttered a word clearly: "Get lost."

Lu Pei's eyes were exceptionally dark, and he stared at her without moving for a moment.Every inch of expression is spared.

He was wearing a light blue shirt with fine lines, and the cuffs were rolled up, exposing a section of his arm.Cross your fingers in front of her.Not seeing each other for two years, his every move is much more mature than before.

Nie Ranqing sneered: "Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting."

Lu Pei's expression softened slightly: "I have no other intentions, I just want to say a few words to you."

"Mrs. Lu is picking out jewelry on the opposite side. You have gone to the wrong place."

Lu Pei said: "She said she would come right away and asked me to wait here first."

Nie Ranqing let out a long "Oh" and said, "You can do whatever she asks you to do. The relationship is very harmonious."

Lu Pei suddenly smiled slightly: "Are you upset?"

"Lu Pei, don't overestimate yourself. You pretend to be nothing. You make me feel hypocritical."

He said, "Last time at the birthday party, you acted like nothing happened."

Nie Ranqing choked.

Lu Pei looked at her for a while, then suddenly said softly, "I just ask you one question, and I'll go somewhere else after I finish."

"..."

"If I hadn't married Ranxi at that time, and I had gone to England for two years, would you have waited for me?"

"Lu Pei, when did you arrive?" Nie Ranxi's soft voice sounded, and then she sat down gracefully. She sat next to Lu Pei and smiled at Nie Ranqing. The hanging lamp, I think it's very beautiful. What are you talking about?"

Lu Pei didn't answer.Nie Ranqing looked at the couple in front of him coldly, and suddenly smiled brightly: "Lu Pei asked me, if he hadn't married you then, there would be no possibility for me and him to be together."

Lu Pei looked at her suddenly, but she looked at Nie Ranxi.

Nie Ranxi just touched her earlobe.If she didn't know Nie Ranxi's every action so well, she would have thought that Nie Ranxi would be indifferent when he heard this sentence.

Nie Ranxi held her chin and asked with a smile, "Oh? How did you answer?"

Nie Ranqing also smiled: "Why should I tell you. I still have something to do, so let's go ahead and talk slowly."

Then she bent down slightly until she got close to Lu Pei's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Lu Pei, if you want me to forgive you, you must die."

Nie Ranqing walked away.
