"..."

Having finally resolved these matters, Ning Ran paused and looked back when he walked out of Yu Ning's residence.

This place that has imprisoned her for many years like a cage...

From now on she is truly free.

Striding away, Ning Ran felt more relaxed than ever before. She found Jing Nanxuan's car and walked to the passenger seat. The window was open. Jing Nanxuan was sitting in the driver's seat, leaning on the back of the seat, smoking absentmindedly.

Watch out for her arrival.

The white smoke blurred his profile, his eyelashes were drooped, and the outline of his facial features was depicted. The man rolled his throat and his Adam's apple slid. Ning Ran took a second look, but still reached out to open the car door.

However, Jing Nanxuan felt as if he heard an alarm bell. He held the cigarette between his fingertips and couldn't help but tremble, but he had nowhere to hide. He turned around and met the girl's eyes.

"Ning Ran..." Jing Nanxuan's cold and distant face showed a rare hint of discomfort. He called the girl's name, reached out the window with the hand holding the cigarette, and put out the cigarette.

"Do you always smoke a cigarette when you are unhappy?" When Jing Nanxuan was about to say something, Ning Ran asked first.

Now that I think about it, Jing Nanxuan has actually done this several times before when they were in the same space.

He has always been scrupulous about her smoking.

Jing Nanxuan didn't expect that she would ask this, so he said "hmm".

Sitting next to him in the passenger seat, Ning Ran looked straight ahead and made no next move. With tacit understanding, Jing Nanxuan also maintained his original posture. The two of them stayed quietly for a while. Ning Ran

Ran moved her lips, but it was Jing Nanxuan who spoke first: "Has everything been resolved?"

"Well, what she talked to me alone was nothing more than some words about how Ning Xiangchen treated her in the past and how she wanted to sympathize with me."

Afraid that Jing Nanxuan would think she would be soft-hearted, Ning Ran gave him a special look and explained: "But don't worry, although we are both women, I still know right from wrong. If something is wrong, it is wrong. She and I

Apologize and want me to forgive Ning Xiangchen's late wife on behalf of her. Doesn't this sound ridiculous? I naturally won't accept it. If she sincerely repented, she should have apologized in person while she was still alive, instead of waiting until now."

"And I am not qualified to forgive that poor woman who hurt her."

Jing Nanxuan listened quietly, not knowing what he was thinking of, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

Maybe he was thinking of his mother.

That is also a pitiful... no, it should be said that he is also a victim.

When Jing Nanxuan told her about his sufferings over the years, it was like cutting out his true heart and showing it to her, so she saw the look in Jing Nanxuan's eyes and knew what he was thinking.

This topic was not appropriate to continue the conversation. The car became calm again, and Ning Ran leaned back in his chair silently, "You seem to have always been caring about my feelings."

Jing Nanxuan turned his head to look at her after hearing this, his eyes as thick as ink were deep and moving. He didn't respond, as if he was waiting for her to say more.

"I have seen you holding a cigarette several times before, but it seems that because of my presence, you didn't smoke..." Ning Ran met his gaze. The man's peach blossom eyes were beautiful, but there was no trace of sentimentality.

He was alone, cold and hard to get close to, but looking at him now, she seemed to see a little warmth in him, and it seemed that he was showing it only to her.

Ning Ran didn't look away for a moment, but her voice gradually became quieter. In addition, Jing Nanxuan had been listening to her attentively without interrupting. She felt that there was something igniting in the gaze between them.

.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about me. Just don't smoke too many cigarettes. If you're usually stressed or unhappy, you can smoke an appropriate amount to relieve yourself."

Ning Ran himself didn't know that his ears felt a little hot for no reason when he said these words, or it was because of Jing Nanxuan's eyes, looking into his eyes and saying things related to him, indulging in his obviously cold posture but feeling unique.

Her gentleness.

"But you don't like the smell of cigarettes." Jing Nanxuan said bluntly, leaning forward and approaching her. Ning Ran couldn't help but tighten her clothes, and her heart beat faster. But in the next second, Jing Nanxuan suddenly thought of something and turned around to get out of the car.

, "Wait for me, I'll take out the trash."

Ning Ran looked slightly startled, but when he came to his senses, Jing Nanxuan was already back.

What he just said came back to Ning Ran's mind, "I don't like the smell of smoke."

It is true that she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, and I believe many people don't like it either, but when did he observe this?

"Go home?" At this time, Jing Nanxuan's voice pulled her back, and Ning Ran quickly put on her seat belt and nodded.

After starting the car, Jing Nanxuan also played soft music. Ning Ran looked at the scene outside the window and inexplicably thought of Zhao Qingchu again.

Including her sudden confusion at the time.

There are so many people around us who have painful emotional experiences. Sincerity is rare in this world. How can we find a valuable one?

Ning Ran sighed silently. She didn't get enough sleep last night, and the tranquility at this moment made her eyelids a little heavy. When sleepiness set in, she turned her head toward the window and fell asleep.

Jing Nanxuan silently turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.

"..."

Ning Ran didn't feel angry about getting up, so when he was woken up, he just rubbed his eyes and looked around vaguely.

She was still in the car, except she had an extra coat on her body.

The car parked in the marked parking space on the roadside. Ning Ran was a little strange, but before he said anything, Jing Nanxuan said: "It's probably too late to cook at this time. I'll eat out and then send you home, otherwise your

My stomach can’t bear it.”

Ning Ran even forgot about the stomach problem.

In the past, every time she didn't remember to eat on time, she would only notice when it started to hurt, and then take medicine for immediate emergency treatment.

It seems that several times before when she and Jing Nanxuan were together, they would eat first no matter what they were doing, except this time, her stomach couldn't bear it.

They expressed their feelings to each other last night, but they never mentioned...their identity changes.

Although this should already imply that they are lovers, but...

Ning Ran couldn't explain what he felt.

So after unbuckling his seat belt and watching Jing Nanxuan turn off the car and unbuckle his seat belt, Ning Ran grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?" A girl rarely reacted. Jing Nanxuan was stunned for a moment, looked into the girl's eyes, and quickly asked softly.

Although she had already achieved this step, Ning Ran wanted to back off. She hesitated and spoke again, but she mentioned the matter of smoking before, "You just said that I don't like the smell of cigarettes. How did you know?"

"There is also the matter of stomach problems, which I usually don't pay much attention to..."

"I've seen you frowning when you smell cigarette smoke before. Stomach problem..." Jing Nanxuan said, maybe because the girl's words were playing on a loop in his mind at the same time. He heard something, paused, and slowly stopped.
