"Ling Qianqian, your homeland is truly beautiful, so living here must be very comfortable." Chen Nan looked at the small stream in front of him. In the distance was a field of oil cauliflower, and further ahead was a huge mountain. The sky was blue and the clouds were white. Everything looked so fresh that it was intoxicating.
"Yes, it is indeed beautiful." Returning to her hometown that she grew up in, Ling Qianqian didn't seem to be as depressed as before. Seeing the familiar grass and trees, one mountain and one water, Ling Qianqian's mood became a lot more relaxed.
"A little further on is my home." Ling Qianqian pointed at a small path and told Chen Nan that she was looking at a familiar small path. This was the place that she had walked through countless times when she was young. The small path was still the same, but he was no longer the same person.
The eye-catching sports car walking on the country road attracted the attention of passers-by, "Which family's child is driving such a beautiful car after returning? It's really lucky to have such a handsome man with her. That car is so beautiful. It must be very expensive. "
Yi, that seems to be the Ling family's little girl. She hasn't brought a man back in a few years." It was just that although the car looked nice, it was a bit small. "Only two people could ride on the tricycle. It would be better for us to have a tricycle in the fields than for the rest of us.
"Eh, this person looks so familiar. I seem to have seen him on TV before." Seeing that Ling Qianqian had returned, the neighbors all came out to see the sports car and the man that Ling Qianqian had brought back.
Ling Qianqian also greeted these familiar villagers, "Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Greetings Big Aunt."
"Sigh, good, good. Qianqian, are you putting on mourning for your mother?" A group of neighbors surrounded Ling Qianqian and asked regretfully when they saw the filial band on her arm.
Ling Qianqian nodded, her eyes turning red again.
"Ai, everyone has such a step, don't be too sad. I didn't expect your mother to be fine when she left, but now … "Hai."
Under the consolation of the neighbors, Ling Qianqian's eyes reddened once again.
"Qianqian, is this your man? Since the two of you came back in a hurry, it's not convenient for you to cook. Come to Third Aunt's place for dinner tonight. " Third Aunt said enthusiastically.
"Third Aunt, isn't he …" I haven't even said my man.
Chen Nan revealed a smile at the right time and lightly embraced Ling Qianqian's shoulders. With his mesmerizing smile, he said: "Then, thank you, Third Aunt. We just came back, it's not convenient to cook."
"There's no need to be polite. Oh right, you look so familiar. Are you the one called Chen on TV or something?" Third Aunt pulled Chen Nan as she sized him up.
Chen Nan was 1.86 meters tall, and had a robust and strong build. No matter how one looked at it, they couldn't move their eyes away from the stylist's specially made appearance and bright clothes.
Chen Nan smiled and said: "I am Chen Nan."
"Aiyo, it's really you. Our Qianqian even found a famous man. How fortunate." Third Aunt was happy to not let go of Chen Nan's hand. She had only seen those famous stars shining with golden light on TV before. She didn't expect to see it in front of her, causing her to be extremely excited.
"Third Aunt, we really aren't …" Ling Qianqian's face slightly flushed, wanting to explain herself, but she received a look from Chen Nan indicating that she should shut up.
Chen Nan didn't show any sign of disgust towards the passionate villagers. He answered all their questions with a smile, causing these aunties to smile so hard they couldn't even close their mouths.
"Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Aunt, I'll go wash my face first." After a long and tiring journey, Ling Qianqian was really tired. Furthermore, she still had her mother's ashes in her hands. Before she was buried, she had to take her mother to the house.
"That's right, you must be tired after coming back. Go and rest, I'll call you guys after the meal is over." Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, and the others quickly sent them back to the house.
Ling Qianqian finally returned to the house. Because no one had lived in the small three rooms for so many years, they were filled with dust. On the left was the room where my grandparents used to live, and on the right was the room where my parents and their sisters lived.
At that time, they all wished to live in a big house so that they wouldn't have to squeeze in with their parents. Now, however, she was the only one left. The small house from before now looked extremely empty. Seeing everything that was so familiar, Ling Qianqian's nose soured, and his tears almost fell again.
After bringing her mother's ashes into the room, Ling Qianqian picked up her broom and started to clean the room.
At this time, Chen Nan finally broke free from the large group of aunts and entered the house. Looking at the old house in front of him, this was where Ling Qianqian grew up.
"You came in." Ling Qianqian looked outside, the neighbors had all gone back. Only then did they turn to Chen Nan and scolded him: "Why didn't you let me explain clearly the relationship between us not being lovers just now?"
Chen Nan laughed and said: "So what if I don't explain? And I am a man. " Chen Nan said shamelessly. He only felt that Ling Qianqian was depressed, and did not want her to be immersed in her sadness. He merely wanted to tease him.
"How can you say that? You clearly know that they aren't talking about that. They think we are …" After all, she hadn't known Chen Nan for long, and deep down, Ling Qianqian was a very conservative woman.
"Alright, I was joking with you. "Just think about it, a girl like you bringing a man back with you. A boyfriend wouldn't let others gossip about you." Chen Nan had thought it through thoroughly, they wouldn't be able to stay here for more than a few days anyway. Moreover, they would also sleep here at night. Outsiders would not even know the relationship between them.
So that was the case. Ling Qianqian understood Chen Nan's painstaking efforts and couldn't help but look at him apologetically. She had even wrongly accused him earlier.
Chen Nan didn't mind. Looking at the room that was filled with dust, he picked up the broom in Ling Qianqian's hand and said, "The dust here is really very big. We're going to stay here tonight. As he spoke, he rolled up his high-end shirt and cleaned the room, not minding at all that it was dirty.
"Are you staying here tonight?" Ling Qianqian never thought that Chen Nan would say that. She thought that he would just return after sending her away. After all, how could such a famous person be accustomed to living in this kind of place?
"Of course. Did you chase me back before I even warmed up after escorting you all this way? Aren't you being too heartless? "No, I don't agree. You're responsible for bringing me here." Chen Nan placed his hands on his waist, pretending to be angry at Ling Qianqian.
"…" Ling Qianqian was speechless at his actions, he had really never seen him with such a rogue side. Chen Nan had always known himself as a cold-faced person on the screen. If his fans saw his rogue face, they would probably break their hearts, right?
I'm just worried that you won't get used to it. The room is small and you can't take a hot bath without cold air." "The town is a few dozen miles away from our home. There is a hotel there, and although the conditions aren't very good, this is the only thing that can be done in a small place." Ling Qianqian tried to communicate with Chen Nan.
She was really not used to the neighbors looking at her with that dubious expression. The matter between her and Chen Nan had already been stirred up at the Maple City realm, and if word of this spread, it would be even more difficult to explain.
"Why do I feel like you're chasing me away?" Chen Nan looked at Ling Qianqian with dissatisfaction. This woman had no conscience at all. He pushed all his work to specifically accompany her back, and in the end he was even ignored by others.
"No, you misunderstand. I'm just worried that you won't get used to it." Ling Qianqian was worried that Chen Nan had misunderstood him, so she quickly explained. Chen Nan had done so much for her, how could she be so heartless?
"That's good. I won't get used to it. In fact, this place is pretty good. I used to have no place to stay at night when I was filming and even stayed in a tent in the suburbs. This house has a roof and a bed that's pretty good already. " Chen Nan didn't mind at all. He knew the pain of losing one's loved ones. With him here accompanying Ling Qianqian, she probably wouldn't feel too lonely either.
Seeing that Chen Nan was determined to stay, Ling Qianqian did not say anything further. However, with Chen Nan here, she felt that her mood was indeed not as bad as before. From time to time, Chen Nan would tell her a joke and make her laugh from time to time from the embarrassing scenes when they were filming in the past.
Seeing that she had finally smiled, Chen Nan's heart finally relaxed a little. He was truly worried that she would be depressed because of her grief. Ling Qianqian was a good woman, he didn't want her to become like that.
After the two of them cleaned the room, they were covered in sweat. At this moment, Third Aunt called them over for dinner. After eating dinner at Third Aunt's place, Ling Qianqian took Chen Nan out for a walk. Pointing to the Peach Blossom Forest in front of them, she said, "That is the place that Big Sister and I liked to visit the most when we were young. Once spring comes, it will be filled with peach blossoms.
, who had returned to his home, gradually relaxed and couldn't help but tell Chen Nan about himself. Furthermore, in her heart, he saw Chen Nan as a good friend, and it was normal for his to share his past with his friends.
Chen Nan asked in shock: "You have a sister? Why didn't you see your mother when she died? "
"She was two years older than me, studying jewelry design in Italy. She had a lot of work to do there, too, and I didn't tell her about her mother's departure so she wouldn't worry. " Ling Qianqian said indifferently.
So that was how it was. Chen Nan looked at Ling Qianqian's profile and a leaf fell onto her hair. At this moment, she was standing under the setting sun. There was a faint sadness on her calm face, as well as memories of the past. Suddenly, Chen Nan felt a peculiar emotion stroke across his chest, it was extremely ferocious.
Looking at Ling Qianqian's light pink lips, his mind immediately associated with that kiss last night. As a celebrity, Chen Nan had exchanged kisses with countless actresses, but none of them brought him that kind of intoxicating feeling …
