Having known Han Baobao for over two years, living and studying together, because of Yang Su and Lan Qiqiâs relationship, she wasnât exactly close with her, but not too distant either.
If it had not been for Han Baobaoâs provocation a while ago, things wouldnât have developed to this extent between them!
In Nanxiâs eyes, Han Baobao was a typical spoiled young lady, somewhat wilful and haughty, arrogant, but not bad in nature.
After all, with a brother like Han Shaojing pampering her and it was clear, that despite her complaining outwardly about her brother, inside her, respect and reliance prevailed!
Thinking of this, she perhaps overthought things. She lifted her head to look at Han Baobao, only to find her eyes welling up again.
She reached out to grasp Nanxiâs hand, her eyes shimmering as she said, "Nanxi, actually I really want to apologize to you! I was wrong earlier today! I ... I was just too angry! You know, I once liked Li Weihuan, Li Weihuan liked you, our relationship didnât change, right? I admired Lu Yinchu, Lu Yinchu likes you, Iâve known this since long ago, I didnât do anything to you, right? But my brother, he disappointed me so much! I only have this one brother, who has pampered me since childhood, but now..."
As Han Baobao spoke, tears fell down her cheeks again, "Nanxi, Iâm truly sorry. I know Iâve been too wilful and ignorant. But I really like you. You know, in college, Yang Su and Lan Qiqi practically ignored me, only you would chat and talk with me, and didnât alienate me. I considered you a friend in my heart. Precisely because youâre a friend, I was that angry, Iâm sorry..."
Seeing Han Baobaoâs demeanor, Nanxi couldnât help but think, Han Baobao was still young, too well-protected, and emotionally inexperienced, much more immature than herself.
Everyoneâs growth process is different, isnât it also true for Han Baobao?
With a silent sigh, she held Han Baobaoâs hand in return, and said, "Iâve made mistakes in the past too, you donât need to apologize to me, letâs put everything behind!"
Hearing this, Han Baobao immediately stopped crying and looked a bit excited, "Nanxi, I knew it! I knew that you wouldnât blame me! Thank you, Nanxi! Thereâs also something else..."
Han Baobao bit her lip, "Nanxi, about what happened tonight... can you, can you help me keep it a secret? You know my ... my brother... if he finds out, Iâm done for! Nanxi, can you help cover for me, please, Nanxi?"
Nanxi furrowed her brow, looking rather troubled. This wasnât the first time Han Baobao had caused such trouble. If she helped cover it up out of kindness, it might not necessarily be a good thing for Han Baobao!
Han Shaojing was a good brother, genuinely hoping for the best for his sister. He had even asked her to look after Baobao before!
"Then, you have to promise me that you wonât do this again, your brother really cares about you, donât make him worry about you excessively!"
Upon hearing Nanxiâs approval, Han Baobao immediately held her hand in excitement, "Thank you, Nanxi! Donât worry, I promise it wonât happen again! Thatâs not the main thing though, the main thing is, weâre friends again! Now when I go out, I can invite you. I believe that if youâre with me, my brother wonât be so strict with me!"
Nanxi smiled, just then, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang. It was Lu Yinchu calling.
Only then did Nanxi remember, she had forgotten to tell Lu Yichu when she had left earlier. He must be worried after not seeing her for such a long time!
Nanxi frowned, quickly picking up the callâ"Hello?"
"Nanxi, where are you now?"
Over the phone, Lu Yinchuâs voice came across worried.
Nanxi glanced at Han Baobao, then said, "Um, Iâm outside, Iâll be back soon, wait for me!"
"Outside?" Lu Yinchu was confused. "What are you doing outside? Wait... donât wander around, I spotted you!"
"What?" Nanxi bit her lip, lifting her eyes to the window, sure enough she saw a man in a sharp suit hanging up his phone while quickly approaching the pharmacy!
Han Baobao was taken aback, "Oh my god, what do we do? Nanxi, your Lu wonât tell my brother that I sneaked out, will he? What to do, Iâm done for! What do I do..."
