Qu Jiaran suddenly felt bored.
She loosened her arms around Qi Zhu, snatched the top from his hand, and quickly put it on.
"You're stupid and cowardly. You're fired," she snapped her fingers and walked out of the room haughtily.
Qi Zhu was already used to this and just heaved a sigh of relief.
Since he was recruited as Qu Jiaran's bodyguard, this was the fourth time he had been fired by her.
After leaving the restaurant, Qu Jiaran immediately called Nan Yu.
As soon as the call was connected, Qu Jiaran started to cry: "Yu Yu, I had a fight with Lin Yuan."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Qu Jiaran squatted on the roadside sobbing, holding the phone and continuing, "I'm in a really bad state now. Only Yu Yu's comfort can make me feel better."
Nan Yu: ...
She really wanted to say that it had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, just a few hours ago, she had also quarreled with Tan Linyuan, and her mood was no better than Qu Jiaran's.
"Yu Yu, can you come out and accompany me for a while? I'm so sad that I feel like I'm falling apart..."
Nan Yu took a deep breath: "Sorry, I'm really busy today..."
"Lin Yuan said he doesn't want me anymore," Qu Jiaran said this out of the blue, "If you don't want me either, I might as well just get hit by a car and die!"
After saying that, Nan Yu heard a strong wind sound from the phone receiver, as well as a man's shout: "Miss, be careful!"
"Qu..." Nan Yu didn't have time to shout out when, following that, came the sharp horn of a car and the screeching sound of tires rubbing against the ground urgently -
Nan Yu's breath caught in her throat.
Crazy!
Almost instinctively, she tensed up: "Qu Jiaran! Don't do anything stupid!"
There was no answer.
After a long while, Qu Jiaran's voice came from the receiver again, hoarse and vulnerable: "You don't want to be friends with me anymore, right?"
As soon as her voice came out, Nan Yu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be her bodyguard who saved her.
So Nan Yu replied calmly: "I don't."
Qu Jiaran still didn't give up and asked, "Then can you come out and accompany me? I'm so sad that I feel like I'm dying."
"...This is the last time," Nan Yu chose to compromise, "If you do this again next time, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
Qu Jiaran instantly broke into a smile through her tears: "Okay, I knew Yu Yu wouldn't just watch me die."
Nan Yu was speechless.
She didn't think she was kind - hearted enough to persuade someone who was trying to commit suicide, but Qu Jiaran just called her.
If anything happened to her at this moment, this phone call would be evidence she couldn't get rid of.
"Where shall we meet?" Nan Yu calmed herself down, thinking that meeting might not be a bad thing.
She just happened to find a reason to explain it clearly to Qu Jiaran that from now on, she didn't need to tell her anything about Tan Linyuan.
She didn't want to hear it.
Qu Jiaran had obviously adjusted her mood as usual. Her voice was filled with joy: "You still live at Lin Yuan's place, right? I'll come pick you up."
...For a moment, Nan Yu suspected that Qu Jiaran's previous outburst was just an excuse to find her so that she could go to Tan Linyuan.
It was a pity that reality would disappoint her: "I don't live there anymore."
Qu Jiaran was surprised: "Why?"
Nan Yu explained: "I've moved out."
Qu Jiaran continued to ask: "Then where did you move to?"
-
Nan Yu moved back to Ye Nanwan.
Apart from here, she had nowhere else to go.
Although Ye Nanwan was bought by Tan Linyuan for her, to some extent, she was still in his debt.
But what else could she do?
Since she had decided not to contact him anymore, she could only choose to turn a blind eye and accept his kindness as a matter of course.
Just think of it as the compassion and kindness bestowed upon her by this great Buddha, or the protection he casually scattered.
The god shouldn't haggle with her over these things.
When she left Tan Linyuan's place in the morning, she took a taxi directly to Ye Nanwan.
The furniture and equipment were all ready before, and the water and electricity had always been supplied, so it was convenient for her to move in at any time.
Nan Yu just simply tidied up and basically could live there.
She thought that telling Qu Jiaran that she wasn't with Tan Linyuan would dispel her idea, but unexpectedly, she was persistent and directly asked the driver to drive to Ye Nanwan to pick her up.
Nan Yu guessed that Qu Jiaran was probably determined to come to her to complain.
They made an appointment to meet in the evening.
As soon as Nan Yu got in Qu Jiaran's car, she started chattering non - stop.
Qu Jiaran told Nan Yu that Tan Linyuan had returned the ring and said that he wouldn't accept any more gifts from her in the future.
"Maybe he just doesn't celebrate birthdays," Nan Yu said casually.
Qu Jiaran disagreed with this answer very much. "But the day I gave him the ring wasn't his birthday either."
Her tone was careless, as if making a reasonable inference: "So I think it should be because someone doesn't let him wear it, right?"
When she asked "right?", her tone was full of smiles, not like asking a question.
It was like seeking confirmation.
Even her eyes seemed to be analyzing her.
Nan Yu averted her gaze and said indifferently: "I don't know. This is a matter between the two of you. Don't ask me."
Qu Jiaran immediately looked disappointed: "If even Yu Yu doesn't know, then it seems that this must be unsolvable."
She didn't press further but directly changed the topic: "Stop thinking about it. He's just a blockhead. It's really boring."
Nan Yu lowered her eyes and remained silent all the time.
She couldn't not know that the words Tan Linyuan said this morning were all to keep her.
They all said that it was much happier to be an unconscious person than a conscious one.
But she couldn't be both conscious and sink.
...
Qu Jiaran asked the driver to drive the car in front of a bar.
Nan Yu recognized this bar. It was still the one opened by Liang Yi. Tan Linyuan had brought her here before.
Nan Yu said calmly: "You can't drink."
She still had lingering fears about the last accident.
Qu Jiaran was stunned at first, then laughed happily: "Why do you remember so clearly about my things?"
Nan Yu: ...
Qu Jiaran nestled on Nan Yu's shoulder like a delicate bird and coquettishly said: "I knew Yu Yu has me in her heart and always thinks about me."
Nan Yu explained: "I just don't want anything to happen to you in front of me. It would be hard for me to explain to your father."
Qu Jiaran only heard the first half of the sentence: "You don't want anything to happen to me in front of you. Isn't that just worrying about me? Stop talking. I'm blushing already."
"If you were a man, I would definitely fall in love with you," Qu Jiaran said seriously.
Nan Yu replied seriously to her: "If I were a man, I definitely wouldn't fall in love with you."
"Why?" Qu Jiaran looked disappointed.
Nan Yu's answer was very simple: "Because you're too troublesome."
She definitely wasn't joking, but Qu Jiaran burst out laughing: "Yu Yu, how come I didn't know you were so humorous before!"
She laughed until tears came out. She wiped the corners of her eyes, winked at Nan Yu, and raised her hand to swear: "Okay, I promise I won't drink. I just came here to sit. They have lemonade in the store."
Since they were already here, Nan Yu still went in with her.
Qi Zhu originally planned to follow Qu Jiaran in to protect their safety, but unexpectedly, he was ordered by her: "You wait outside."
At the same time, in a corner of the bar.
Several people were drinking while observing every face in the bar.
Unconsciously, their gazes finally locked on Nan Yu who had just come in.
