237: Chapter 197 Jealousy: Lu Yinchu, I Want to See You_2 237: Chapter 197 Jealousy: Lu Yinchu, I Want to See You_2 â¦
The simple confession, âItâs me,â completely overwhelmed Nanxi, leaving her unable to deny the obvious surge of emotions â doing so would be self-deception!
She took a deep breath, uttering a faint âHmm,â without further ado.
âItâs raining outside, just started!â
âHmm.â
âIt rains a lot in H City during this season.
The weather is fickle.
Remember to dress more for your morning and evening outings!â
âHmm.â
âIf you need anything, just call me.
If Iâm not around, call Mo Yanâ¦â
âHmm.â
âRemember to think of me!â
âHmmâ¦What?â
A soft chuckle came from the other end of the call, Nanxi furrowed her brows.
Whatâs he laughing about?
âGo to sleep early!
Thatâs my girl!â Lu Yinchu cooed.
Nanxi remained silent, not ready to hang up the call just yet.
âWhatâs the matter?â he asked her.
âLu Yinchuâ¦â she called out his name.
âHmm,â he replied with a nasal voice.
âI want to see you!â
ââ¦â
The brief silence made Nanxi feel somewhat awkward.
Why had she been so forward?
Did he dislike it?
As she pondered this, her face flushed crimson.
âNever mind it, Iâ¦â
âI am at the entrance of your university!â
His voice diffused softly, interrupting her words.
A car horn sounding from the other end of the call made Nanxiâs heart shatter into thousands of pieces.
They scattered across the dimly lit rainy night sky!
â¦
It started to drizzle outside, which was quite unexpected.
While it was a sunny day, the sky suddenly began to darken in the evening.
He had smoked four cigarettes, each one lasting less and less time.
The car window was misted and the buildings of H University outside the window had become blurry and indistinct!
He massaged the spot between his eyebrows; there was pain!
She had been in the downstairs private room for four hours tonight, and he was also in the upstairs private room for four hours, yet their time spent felt starkly different!
After all, it was truly unbearableâ¦
Jealous, he was jealous that someone could appear before her openly, something he could not do!
Jealous, he was jealous that everyone else had an appropriate position and needed distance to approach her, yet he, he could not!
He was even more jealous, that someone had a reasonable status to protect her, while he could only hide in the shadows, silently observing her ups and downs.
Yet, all of these had nothing to do with him!
â¦
His phone rang.
He picked it up and glanced at the screen, his eyebrows furrowed slightly before picking it up.
The caller was Mo Yan.
Mo Yan said, âItâs confirmed, Miss Han will be discharged in approximately three days!â
Without uttering a word, he hung up the phone immediately.
Furiously yet lightly swiping the phone screen, which displayed a sunflower!
It was a picture of a sunflower he took eight years ago at her door, a sunflower striving to grow towards the sunlight!
Just like her!
He found the number again, scrolling past it before scrolling back.
After much hesitation, he decided to dial it out.
â¦
Nanxi started to change her clothes right after the call ended.
Yang Su was surprised and asked, âHave youâ¦
really made up your mind?â
Nanxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Yang Su pressed her thin lips together and said, âItâs good that youâve decided, no matter what, Lanlan and I support you!
But, you should explain to Weihuan soonâ¦
delaying wonât do us any good!â
Nanxi nodded again and picked up her phone.
Leaving all her other belongings behind.
She walked out the door!
She planned just to meet him and come back!
â¦
In the room, Lan Qiqi sighed, âSheâs really falling for him!â
âWho can blame her?
Itâs the first time Iâve seen Nanxiâ¦like this!â
The reason for her transformation was nothing more than meeting the right personâ¦
Lan Qiqi said, âBut what about Weihuan, can he accept this?
He loves Nanxi so muchâ¦â
âWhether he accepts it or not, he has to.
Weihuan is no longer a child, heâs twenty-five and has achieved nothing.
If I were her, I wouldnât pick him either.
Women need to consider their own needs, love canât feed you or keep you from going hungryâ¦
Moreover, everyone in the Li Family, except for Mr.
Li, is not to be trifled with.
How could Nanxi marry into that family?â
Lan Qiqi frowned, âThatâs true.
But what about Lu Yinchu?
Even if heâs successful in everything, can he bring happiness to Nanxi?
After all, we actually donât know much about him!â
Yang Suâs eyes sparkled as she responded, âDonât worry, Nanxi will handle this well, sheâs a very determined woman!â
Lan Qiqi nodded, figuring that right now, this was all they could do.
â¦
Nanxi was a bit nervous when she told the dormitory administrator that she was going out.
The administrator stalled for quite a while before finally asking, âWill you be back tonight?â
Nanxi knew that this aunt had been offended by Li Weihuan before and still harbored some resentment.
Naturally, she would take this opportunity to give her a hard time!
Nanxi said, âYes, Iâll be back.
I just need to go out for a bit!â
The administrator immediately frowned, âWhy canât you get your affairs done during the day?
Is it fun to make people worry at night?
Be sincere!â
âAuntie, Iâll be back within an hour at most, I wonât delay for too longâ¦â
It would take ten minutes to walk from the dormitory to the entrance of the university, twenty minutes round trip.
So, would the remaining forty minutesâ¦
be enough?
Nanxiâs thoughts were a mess when the sharp voice of the dormitory administrator came in, âThat still doesnât work, youâre guessing itâll be an hour at least, what if you donât come back, and I have to wait up all night?â
The administrator yawned again and continued, ââ¦Look, itâs the middle of the night, isnât it good to stay in the dormitory and sleep?
Itâs also raining, yet youâre going out.
Youâre making us innocent people worried over some boyfriend mattersâ¦â
âAuntie, youâre misunderstanding, I really have something urgentâ¦â
âYouâre graduating soon, and you wonât be staying at the school much longer.
After you start working and living outside, I wonât be there to interfere with whatever you decide to do.
But for now, can you just let me have some peaceâ¦â
âAuntieâ¦â
Just as Nanxi was about to say something, a hand suddenly gripped her shoulder!
The faint scent of mint mixed with the smell of tobacco quickly surrounded her, followed by the sound of a manâs soothing voice, âSorry!
Didnât mean to disturb.
She wonât be coming back tonight.â
He looked at Nanxi, his eyes as dark as ink, he said, âNanxi, letâs go!â
Having said that, he held her hand tightly and, under the shocked gaze of the administrator, led Nanxi towards the rainy outdoorsâ¦

In the next chapterâ¦ahemâ¦you know whatâs comingâ¦
