137: Chapter 124 Nanxi, She Cried_1 137: Chapter 124 Nanxi, She Cried_1 He paused for a moment, then looking sideways, he saw Nanxi asleep by his bedside.
At that moment, his eyes suddenly moistenedâ¦
He reached out to play with her hair, his touch light.
Her hair seemed to have grown even longer than before.
He remembered the first time he met her, her hair was only shoulder length, and now, it was almost down to her waist!
He suddenly recalled an old cheesy but warm internet quote: âWhen my hair reaches my waist, will you, young man, marry me?â
He took a deep breath, trying to retract his hand, but the sleeping girlâs eyelashes flickered and she woke upâ¦
The girl squinted at him, and the corners of her mouth curled up, âWeihuan, are you awake?
Are you feeling better?
Do you need some water?â
Li Weihuan pursed his lips and looked into her eyes without a word.
Nanxi looked puzzled, her recent awakening causing her to feel slightly fatigued.
She reached out to touch his forehead, asking, âAre you feeling unwell?â
The warm touch of her palm felt like a soft piece of satin, providing a soothing feeling.
He unconsciously grabbed Nanxiâs wrist, her skin was as smooth as condensed suet, her bright eyes shone, and her pink lips trembled, stirring his heart into a frenzy.
His Adamâs apple bobbed slightly.
However, Nanxi was oblivious.
She attempted to touch Li Weihuanâs face, asking what was wrong, but before her hand could move, she was harshly pulled into his arms.
And before she could react, she was pinned onto the bed by Li Weihuanâ¦
Her long hair spread over the white sheets like seaweed in water, beautiful and soft.
Her delicate features under the light were enticing.
Her breath, her scent, it intoxicated Li Weihuan, making his blood surgeâ¦
As for Nanxiâ¦
Nanxi froze entirely.
Waves of fear and alarm surged within her.
Her hand pressed against Li Weihuanâs chest, but it was so hot there that her fingers began to tremble.
âWeihuanâ¦â
She stammered, âWhatâ¦whatâs happened to you?â
Li Weihuan pursed his lips, his Adamâs apple bobbing as he reached out to touch Nanxiâs face, his touch gentle.
His breath sprinkling on her face, so hot, so fast, it reminded her of how Bai Ri had pinned her downâ¦
She panicked and pushed him away again, âWeihuanâ¦youâ¦let go of me!â
âNanxiâ¦,â he uttered weakly, his voice hoarse, his eyes shining bright, even a bit red, âNanxi, I desire you!â
Nanxi froze there, looking incredulously at the handsome young man in front of her.
Just when she wanted to speak, his lips had already pressed down on hersâ¦
âMmmâ¦â Nanxi struggled, but her strength paled in comparison to Li Weihuanâs.
She tried to push him away, but it was futile.
The faint scent of alcohol lingered on Li Weihuanâs lips, and this kiss was different from any theyâd shared beforeâ¦
Nanxi realized, Li Weihuan wasnât joking.
He wasnât teasing her.
He genuinelyâ¦desired her!
An inexplicable fear and resistance welled up inside her.
She began to struggle quite desperately, freeing her arm just to have it captured by Li Weihuan and pinned over her head!
Nanxi felt desperate, her large teardrops fallingâ¦
Nanxi, she began to cryâ¦
Li Weihuan felt as though someone had smacked him over the head; he released Nanxiâs lips and looked down at her from above.
His glossy eyes were now bloodshot, his face sorrowful, gloomyâ¦
Yet, above all, he felt helplessâ¦
He clumsily wiped her tears, repeatedly uttering âIâm sorryâ¦â
He was too scared, too anxious, too in love with this girl known as Gu Nanxi!
Li Weihuan said, âNanxi, Iâm sorry, itâs all my fault⦠please donât cry!â
Nanxi remained silent, biting her lip and looking at him, the moistness in her eyes wasnât recedingâ¦
With a slap to his own face, the clear sound stunned Nanxi.
âWeihuan, what are you doingâ¦â
As Li Weihuan was about to slap himself again, she stopped him.
âWeihuan, donât treat yourself like this.
Iâm not blaming you, Iâ¦Iâm blaming myselfâ¦â
Indeed, she wasnât blaming him, but herself!
She and Li Weihuan knew each other for seven years, had been a couple for six.
Due to her conservatism and avoidance, Li Weihuan never took it too far with her.
Yang Su once said, âOnly Li Weihuan would put up with you.
Any other man would have taken you by force by now!
Where else would you find a girl like you, so aloof?
Even the boys in Zhang Muâs group, who she hung out with, have gone past their virginity.
Yet here Li Weihuan is, over 20, a handsome young man, being turned into a eunuch by youâ¦â
Nanxi listened until her face turned red and her ears burned.
However, she truly hadnât prepared herself for that moment yet.
The future was still uncertain.
Both she and Li Weihuan hadnât grown up yet.
They still needed to be honed and matured.
The pace of growing up, whether fast or slow, didnât matter.
What mattered was not taking the wrong path!
She was being responsible for herself as well as Li Weihuan!
Initially, Li Weihuan respected her thoughts.
Nanxi wasnât sure if he sincerely thought the same.
She used to think so, but after tonight, she started to have doubts!
Not just doubting him, but doubting herself as well!
Generally, in this society, dating usually leads to the bedroom in a matter of weeks, sometimes even less.
So was she really being overly sensitive?
Li Weihuan turned to her, holding Nanxi in his arms, kept apologising.
Nanxi held his hand and closed her eyes!
The one who should be apologizing was in fact her!
â¦
The next morning, Nanxi picked herself up, got out of bed, went downstairs and bought breakfast for the young masters.
Upstairs, Li Weihuan was sitting in the living room with Zhang Mu and Bai Yuchuan watching him.
Li Weihuan was sipping his lips.
He asked Bai Yuchuan for a cigarette.
Taking a puff, he said, âI almost took advantage of Nanxi last nightâ¦â
Bai Yuchuan frowned.
Zhang Mu seemed more intrigued, âFrom the sound of it, you didnât succeed, did you?â
âShe didnât want to!â After Li Weihuan finished, he furrowed his eyebrows, took a deep puff and added, ââ¦she cried!â
âDamnâââ Zhang Mu couldnât help but blurt out.
Bai Yuchuan pulled him aside, gave him a look and Zhang Mu shut up.
Li Weihuan continued, âWeâve been together for several years now.
I believe sheâs a good girl and I believe in how she feels about me.
But sheâs too principled.
Her calm demeanor doesnât allow her to feel passionately enough toâ¦
lose controlâ¦
and moreover, with so many insecurities, I always feel like sheâs going to leave meâ¦
even though sheâs right here with meâ¦â
âWhy are you feeling insecure?â Bai Yuchuan asked him.
âIâve never quite understood.
With your conditions, you fell in love with her and youâve been good to her.
Everybody knows what kind of person she is, and your relationship has always been harmoniousâ¦
How can you still feel insecure in such a situation?â
Li Weihuan shook his head as if he didnât want to elaborate, then said, âMaybe Iâm just obsessed.
Forget it, donât talk about this.
Actually, I just wanted to ask you guys, ifâ¦
I mean, if I force her to marry me, will it be better for herâ¦
and me?â
Zhang Mu was taken aback, but Bai Yuchuan remained composed, âDo you really think that would be better?â
Li Weihuan sipped his lips and kept silent.
Bai Yuchuan continued, âWeihuan, have you thought about it?
If you and Nanxi get married, can your parents and your sister accept her?
If they donât, what are you going to do?
Donât say you can get by without your familyâs support, thatâs not realisticâ¦
Take me for example, Iâve been working for two years since graduation, and the house Iâm living in was bought with money from my familyâ¦
And you, havenât your sisters always helped you out whenever you got into troubleâ¦â
Bai Yuchuanâs words were a bit harsh, but he didnât stop.
He continued, âAnd about Nanxi, I heard that sheâs been submitting resumes online and almost all of them have fallen on deaf ears.
Even Susu and Lan Qi have received a lot of interview calls, but she hasnât received even oneâ¦
if she really had poor qualifications and poor grades, that would be fine, but we all know that sheâs excellentâ¦
So are those employers blind?â
Li Weihuan was shocked.
He hadnât known that Nanxi was facing this situation, and she had never mentioned it to him!
âYou mean, itâs possible thatâ¦â
âDo you think there could be any other possibility?â Bai Yuchuan retorted.
Li Weihuan reached out, scratching his head, hit the couch in irritation, then got up to leave, ââ¦Iâm going to find them!â
âWhat use is it to find them?
To stir up trouble?
So they hate and resent Nanxi even more?â Bai Yuchuanâs cold voice came, not mincing words, âWeihuan, you need to mature!â
Li Weihuan stopped in his tracks, his knuckles clenched, a veiled anger enveloping him, making him look so desolate and sad.
All of a sudden, the door flung open.
Nanxi stood at the door, her eyes met Li Weihuanâs.
She was surprised but instantly smiled, âIâve bought breakfast.
Sorry to keep everyone waiting!â
The three men in the living room held their tongues!
After breakfast, Nanxi insisted on taking Li Weihuan to the hospital â his face was still injured and heâd been drinking again the day before.
She wouldnât be at ease unless he got checked up!
The doctor said that it was mostly healed, but still urged him to drink less in the future.
The doctor commented, âWhat are young people doing drinkingâ¦â
Li Weihuan glared at the doctor.
Seeing his hostile look, the doctor muttered a few more words and left!
Nanxi glanced at Li Weihuan, âWhy are you intimidating the doctor?â
Li Weihuan replied in an aggrieved tone, âWhen did I intimidate him?â
Nanxi furrowed her brows.
This guy really knew how to argueâ¦
â¦
After leaving the hospital, they got into Bai Yuchuanâs car.
Nanxi wanted Li Weihuan to go back and rest, but he disagreed.
Finally, he said, âLetâs go and visit H University!
I kind of miss the badass times I had at H Universityâ¦â
Zhang Mu in the passenger seat directly threw his cigarette pack at his face â contempt!
