520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"You, what? You're being treasonous! Who can afford a few hundred dollars a month..."

But Xiang Huanian, who had put down his phone, could no longer hear these curses, or perhaps some of the regret that Che Nanfang had finally realized.

After Xiang Huanian finished speaking about the decision he had made after considering it for a long time, he hung up the phone decisively and neatly.

From now on, she will only love herself and be free from worries.

"call……"

At this time, a gentle breeze blew over, gently blowing the loose hair that Xiang Huanian had hanging in front of her eyes, and it floated up, as if it wanted to blow away all her troubled thoughts with the breeze.

Cutting off ties and breaking free from the constraints was actually simpler and more relaxing than Xiang Huanian had imagined.

However, in this land of China, unless parents cause substantial and unscrupulous harm to their children, kinship is actually the most difficult to break free from.

But for Xiang Huanian, it wouldn't get to that extent.

So, right now, it’s just right to stay away from them moderately.

For a short time, Xiang Huanian felt a little guilty about his own ruthlessness and selfishness.

But soon, she let it go.

"Ding dong."

Xiang Huanian received a text message from Chen Dejie on his phone:

Niannian, don't worry, I will always be your brother. I'll be there for your parents.

"Ha, it's really a blessing that they gave birth to a good son..."

The grievances Xiang Huanian suffered in her childhood actually came not only from Xiang Aiguo's inaction and Chen Aifang's deliberate neglect of her, but also from her brother who was inherently superior to her in terms of gender.

But family affection... including all emotions in the world, is not something as simple as black and white logic. It is destined to be biased. Xiang Huanian only gradually understood this truth after he grew up.

Xiang Huanian now has her career to fight for, novels to write that have unstable income and are repeatedly "banned", and she also has to take care of An An, Le Le and Mei Mei who give her healing strength.

The days of living with Lin Yunchu and Gu Shaoyu were also very happy, and there was also Gu Lingyan...

Xiang Huanian's mind was filled with these beautiful emotions, and he no longer had any extra thoughts to worry about the so-called family affection attached to him.

People should stay away from people or things that hinder their growth.

Xiang Huanian is learning how to do this better.

From now on, Xiang Huanian will really have to live out her days alone... and her family is destined to be unable to provide her with any financial support or emotional support...

"It's so cold outside. Now that we've made the call, let's go back..."

Xiang Huanian was feeling the cold winter wind and his hands, feet and head getting colder and colder. Suddenly, he felt warmth on his shoulder, and then he heard Gu Lingyan's words.

"Mr. Gu..."

Xiang Huanian grabbed the shawl that Gu Lingyan had draped over him, and looked at Gu Lingyan in surprise. Gu Lingyan, who was supposed to be receiving an IV drip in the ward, was standing beside him with his IV bottle in one hand, looking a little funny.

"Boom."

In order not to alarm Xiang Huanian, Gu Lingyan was carrying the heavy IV bottle when he went out to find Xiang Huanian. Now that he has been discovered, there is no need for him to carry it in the air.

It was just right that while putting the drip in, Gu Lingyan was thinking about the wording of the explanation.

But in the end——

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was just worried... I'm sorry."

Gu Lingyan tried to explain to Xiang Huanian that he had no intention of doing so, but people always have to be responsible for their own actions. In the end, Gu Lingyan could only lower his head, like a puppy who had done something wrong and was afraid of punishment, and did not dare to look directly into Xiang Huanian's eyes.

This is a sense of déjà vu.

Xiang Huanian seemed to see An An, who often made mistakes by destroying things when he was a child, and then lowered his head, looking uneasy at the crime scene.

Gu Lingyan was 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, but Xiang Huanian actually thought he was a little cute, and not greasy at all...

Xiang Huanian turned his head calmly, pursed his lips, looked at the tip of a tree in the distance, and tried hard to hold back his laughter, suppressing the corners of his mouth that were almost uncontrollably rising.

But when he noticed Xiang Huanian turning away, Gu Lingyan mistakenly thought that Xiang Huanian was angry.

An anxious Gu Lingyan hurriedly followed Xiang Huanian with his eyes, flustered, tongue-tied, and incoherent, not knowing how to admit his mistake.

"Um, Nian Nian, please don't be angry. I'm really sorry..."

Because he was in a hurry, Gu Lingyan didn't notice that the needle was about to fall off the back of his hand because of his movement.

But Xiang Huanian discovered it.

"Hey! Be careful, Mr. Gu! The needle in your hand is about to fall off. You've had needle holes all over your hand these past few days because of the IV drips. The back of your hand is all purple. If you're not careful, you'll get another wound before your original one has healed..."

Xiang Huanian quickly turned around, stopped Gu Lingyan's overly large steps, held down Gu Lingyan's hand that was full of needle holes, and also held down the sticker covering the needle holes.

Two pairs of cold hands, pressed together, with similar temperatures, could only feel the touch of each other's hands.

Xiang Huanian's hands were cold because the wind was so strong outside that he felt cold.

Gu Lingyan, whose hands and feet were always warm, were cold right now because of the cold IV drip hanging on him. However...

The delicate and soft fingertips touched the cool but smooth back of the hand, and Xiang Huanian's heart tightened - not the kind of emotion that created an ambiguous atmosphere, but self-ashamed.

It doesn't make sense that a man's hands like Gu Lingyan are even more tender than hers!

Xiang Huanian, who was somewhat doubting himself, stroked the skin on the back of Gu Lingyan's hand with his fingers, skeptical, over and over again, tracing the slightly arched finger bones and the blue veins that were bulging but not obtrusive, only showing sexiness...

Xiang Huanian was seriously checking the feel of the back of Gu Lingyan's hand without any other emotional thoughts. However, after Xiang Huanian's fingertips brushed against Gu Lingyan's visible wrist bones, the temperature in his fingertips began to rise at a perceptible speed.

"Um?!"

Feeling the skin under his fingers heating up rapidly, Xiang Huanian thought that Gu Lingyan, a weak patient whose wound had not yet healed, had started to have a fever after being exposed to the wind. He looked up anxiously, but the moment he raised his eyes, Gu Lingyan covered his eyes with his other big hand, which was also heating up.

"Don't look at me, Nian Nian."

Gu Lingyan's hoarse voice, accompanied by the breeze, flowed into Xiang Huanian's ears.

Xiang Huanian blinked, not quite understanding why Gu Lingyan covered his eyes. Through the gaps between Gu Lingyan's fingers, he vaguely saw Gu Lingyan's red ear tips and his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
