C216 He even made a mess of himself

Chu Ning sighed to herself.

She thought maybe she should say something, like, long time no see, or how things had been lately, or sorry. However, when she opened her mouth, she could not find her own voice.

The rain continued to fall with increasing intensity.

She shook her head. The rain was really cold. "Um, I didn't expect it to be you, ha." Her voice was strained, and she struggled to speak. Fortunately, she managed to say it out loud.

Nangong Yi indifferently replied, "En," and then there was nothing else.

Suddenly, Chu Ning felt exceptionally awkward, not knowing how to continue. She had nothing to say to break the cold and deathly still atmosphere, so she forced herself to smile, "Um, sorry, but I'll be leaving first."

Chu Ning embarrassedly took two steps back and hurriedly ran away.

She couldn't remember how far she had run, and when she finally couldn't run anymore, she suddenly realized that she was heading in the wrong direction. It was the exact opposite of the bus stop she was heading to.

She was somewhat stunned. How could this be? How could he be in such a state of panic that he even got the direction wrong?!

Suddenly, he felt that he was very, very weak. That man was no longer her boyfriend. Furthermore, he would no longer believe in her, believe in the so-called true love!

She crouched down suddenly, shivering.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Even I'm in a mess right now, so how can I make you believe me?" She buried her face in the crook of her arm, and the rain came down hard, washing against her back. It was really cold.

Such bad weather seemed to have turned ruthless and wanted to destroy everything.

Water splashed in front of her eyes, blurring her vision. She couldn't tell if it was her tears or the rain.

The black leather shoes stopped in her line of sight, the legs of her casual pants were already wet from the rain. She blankly raised her head and saw Nangong Yi with her hands in his pockets, standing in front of her, silently watching her …

The rain hit her eyes, causing her to blink. The increasingly heavy rain and the increasingly cold temperature caused Chu Ning to involuntarily shiver.

Nangong Yi's expression changed and she suddenly reached out her hand to pick her up. Regardless of her reaction, she picked her up horizontally and walked back.

Chu Ning was shocked by the sudden situation and didn't know how to react. She instinctively grabbed the clothes on his chest, afraid that she would fall down.

Because of her unconscious action of closing in on him, the corners of Nangong Yi's lips curled up. Although it was not obvious, but if one looked closely, they would be able to see it.

It had rained so much that both of them were drenched. As the rain washed over them, there was only a slight warmth from the part where the two of them had leaned against each other. Feeling the warmth from Nangong Yi, Chu Ning was in a trance. In her memories, they rarely got so close to each other. Even when they were men and women, such proximity was rare.

Subconsciously, Nangong Yi tightened her grip.

He used too much strength and the pain brought Chu Ning back to reality. He looked up at Nangong Yi and spoke with difficulty, "Let me down, I'll walk by myself."

Nangong Yi's footsteps did not stop. She looked down at her, unable to express anything.

Such obvious neglect made Chu Ning feel somewhat embarrassed and she struggled even more, "Let go of me, Nangong Yi, I want to go back!"

She was shamelessly twisting around, kicking and beating him nonstop, and her two hands were desperately pushing him away. This made Nangong Yi suddenly frown, but his hands were even tighter, like an iron wall, tightly restricting her actions.

In the end, she didn't even have the chance to refuse.

When they arrived in front of the car, Nangong Yi finally let go of her, but with one hand tightly holding her wrist and the other quickly opened the car door. Without saying a word, she pushed her into the back of the car.

With this push, Chu Ning fell into the car and fell on the back seat. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Nangong Yi had already returned to the driver's seat and locked the door.

After trying a few times, he was still unable to open the car door, and the clothes on his body was extremely uncomfortable. In such a situation, no matter how good of a character Chu Ning had, she was still somewhat angry, "Nangong Yi, what are you trying to do?!"

Nangong Yi's eyes jumped. She glanced at her from the rearview mirror and ignored her.

The car suddenly moved far away, and even in the rain, his speed was still as fast as it could get, which made Chu Ning even more certain that Nangong Yi was indeed drunk. Although his drunkenness could not be seen on the surface, his strange actions clearly showed that he was drunk to the point of not being able to distinguish the north from the south.

No matter what he said to Nangong Yi, Nangong Yi ignored him. He continued to be anxious and angry at the end, but Nangong Yi still remained unmoving.

Chu Ning felt extremely weak, so she shut her mouth and watched the rain outside the window grow heavier and heavier.

In the rain and fog, he couldn't see anything. He could only vaguely make out the rapidly retreating vehicles and the trees on both sides of the road. He could also make out the buildings behind the trees.

There was a warm breeze in the car, and the temperature was much higher than outside. There was a thin layer of fog on the window, and other than the fog covering the front and back windows, there was nothing else that could be seen except for the white glass on the side of the car.

Unconsciously, she reached out her index finger and drew randomly on the glass. Somehow, she drew a pig's head, a rabbit.

Nangong Yi occasionally glanced sideways at her, and when she saw the two diagrams, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Inside the car, there was a warm breeze blowing, and the street lamps outside stood shoulder to shoulder, still emitting white light in the rain. He did not know where Nangong Yi was taking him, so he did not answer.

Actually, she didn't need to cultivate her sleepiness at all. It was as if she had a spinning top the whole day, unable to relax even after a long time. She was so tired that she would feel like sleeping if she squinted her eyes.

Thus, without much willpower, she fell asleep within three minutes …

The car slowly drove into an unremarkable alley. It looked old and remote, without even a hint of modernity. The alley was very narrow, so narrow that the car could only walk in a straight line. After stopping, he opened half the door.

After coming to a stop, Nangong Yi turned around and realized that Chu Ning had really fallen asleep.

Getting out of the car and changing to the back seat, he sat beside Chu Ning. Perhaps it was because of the chill coming from outside, she slightly winced and did not wake up.

The overhead lights in the car went out the moment he closed the door. The only sound that could be heard was the breathing of the two of them.

There was only a small sound of the heavy rain through the glass window. He suddenly wished that he could stop for a second and not continue.

He himself was surprised at the absurdity of the thought, but he did hope so, at least for the moment, which took up a hundred percent of his thoughts.

After getting used to the darkness, his eyes could easily make out the outline of Chu Ning. It was exquisite and delicate, not beautiful at all.

He was very clear that keeping her alive was Situ Yeyu's weakness. As far as he, Nangong Yi, was concerned, what he hated the most was weakness. Just like the Lijiang River from before, he really didn't want to go back again. When he found out, it was already too late.
