Mixed Chapter 68

Substitute

Although Chi Nuan moved out of the home that once belonged to them, she would come back to clean it regularly every once in a while, so she didn’t feel overwhelmed with emotion when she and Song Shixue stepped into this place of memories again.

I wasn’t filled with emotion before, and I’m even less so now.As long as Song Shixueren was still there, he would have to come back to live sooner or later, and Chi Nuan was just a slutty companion who was forcibly dragged in by the owner of the house.

Not important, not important at all.

She just wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

Chi Nuan leaned against the entrance cabinet and raised his eyes. The original photo frame was replaced by a picture of stars wrapped in a wood-colored frame.The style is distinctive, and it can be seen that it was painted by a painter named Song.

Should we say that Song Shixue’s temperament is too indifferent, or is she inherently heartless?

If the photo frame is gone, Song Shixue can replace it with other decorations, and she can also be replaced by someone else.

To her, it doesn’t matter whether they have these things or not, and whether they are the same person.

Not sure if it was because of the dust, Chi Nuan felt the tip of her nose itching. She rubbed it casually and then sneezed.This sneeze came just in time, clearing away the debris accumulated in the nasal cavity and the distracting thoughts that were inappropriately negative just now.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Song Shixue took out a brand new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, but the style was exactly the same as Chi Nuan’s pair three years ago. “Put them on first, and I’ll find you some cold medicine.”

Chi Nuan lowered her eyes and glanced at the “replacement” slippers that could not find any flaws. She sniffed and pursed her lips into a straight line, looking at Song Shixue’s profile rummaging through the cabinets, indifferently.

“Why don’t you come in?” Song Shixue put the steaming glass of water and cold medicine on the counter.She went to close the cracked door, and then approached Chi Nuan step by step with a dull expression, until Chi Nuan had nowhere to hide and pressed her thin back against the cold door.

Chi Nuan frowned and looked into Song Shixue’s melancholy eyes with vigilance and displeasure.

The melancholy is like a whirlpool that can suck people straight into it.

During the fifteen seconds that Chi Nuan was stunned, Song Shixue’s hands wrapped around her waist early.

The moment her sense of touch was awakened, she escaped from the whirlpool.

Chi Nuan blinked, his throat moved up and down, and he pretended to be angry: “Song Shixue, I told you to stay away from me! This is the second time! And don’t forget, you have a girlfriend now.”

There was naked doubt in Song Shixue’s eyes.

Where did she get a girlfriend out of nowhere?Was it Ye Zhi who was with her in the restaurant last night?

Song Shixue wanted to deny it, but now her credibility in Chi Nuan’s heart was negative.Clearly, this is not a good time.

“Okay, but you need to answer me first.” She tilted her head and looked at the blue starry sky. “Did you take the original picture frame on the wall…by you?””

“Well, throw it away.Any questions?This is my thing, and I think I have the right to decide whether to keep it or not.”She didn’t expect that Song Shixue would care about the photo frame, let alone that Song Shixue would ask directly.

When Chi Nuan answered, her brows knitted into two small beans again, and her long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

She is really not suitable for lying, and her habitual expressions have long given her away.

In front of Song Shixue, she was even more clearly seen.

However, she didn’t try to expose her.

“I think it should be something that both of us have in common.”After all, there is a photo of the two of them on it.” So I think, Chi Nuan, you should at least ask for my opinion.”

Tsk.

What’s your opinion?If you don’t even know where you are, where can I go to ask for your advice?

In the midst of silent complaints, Chi Nuan’s phone rang.

Song Shixue’s eyes fell on the screen, and the caller displayed – Guan Ran.

She naturally took two steps back and leaned against the wall, giving Chi Nuan space to answer the phone.

Should I say it or not, Chi Nuan really felt that Guan Ran’s phone call was wonderful, and he needed to express his gratitude to her.

“Hey, A Ran.”Chi Nuan usually calls Guan Ran by her first name, but this time just to “retaliate” against Song Shixue, he affectionately called her ‘A Ran’.

Guan Ran on the other end of the phone was obviously not used to this statement, and he was stunned for a while before slowly speaking: “How long will it take for you… to come here?”

“Well…” She looked at the time, “About twenty minutes, okay?””

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

“Well, bye.”Chi Nuan put away her phone.

There was a strong smell of vinegar everywhere in the house, a smell that Chi Nuan was all too familiar with.

If it had been before she knew that Song Shixue had a new partner, Chi Nuan would have been extremely happy, but this time was different from the past.Song Shixue is a married woman, she should not have any illusions about this, and Song Shixue should not be jealous for no reason.

As soon as Chi Nuan turned around, she was faced with Song Shixue’s face of vulnerability and disappointment.

It seems to be saying, don’t you want me anymore?

Chi Nuan’s heart dropped, and she managed to regain her lost breath, then quickly looked away, unscrewed the doorknob and said in a stiff tone, “Let’s go.”

She didn’t dare to look at her again.

One more look and she will relent; one more look and she will stay.He would hug her, he couldn’t help but kiss her, and finally tell her how much he missed her.

But she can’t, she doesn’t have that qualification now.

The moment she opened the door, Song Shixue grabbed her sleeve: “Wait a minute.”

Probably because she was afraid that Chi Nuan would leave, Song Shixue quickly opened the closet in the bedroom and took out a brown thin coat and stuffed it into her: “Put it on outside.”

“Thank you…thank you.”Chi Nuan’s shoulders trembled slightly as she held a coat filled with Song Shixue’s scent.

The coat filled her palms, filling a small corner that Song Shixue had vacated in the past three years.

She is so easily satisfied.

Can’t stay any longer.

Chi Nuan stood on the edge of tears and stepped out quickly without looking back.

She ran to the stairway and squatted down weakly, letting the sourness triggered by her former lover’s unexpected concern fill her eyes.

I was afraid that the sound would be too loud, so I could only cover my mouth, suppress the sound, and shake my shoulders to filter through complex emotions.

A villain appeared in Chi Nuan’s heart, silently putting a small red checkmark on Song Shixue’s behavior today.

Another villain appeared in Chi Nuan’s heart, and he was mocking her for her failure.

Unsatisfied, she exhaled, tried her best to adjust her mood, put on Song Shixue’s coat, buttoned every button, and left the community. She made an express call on her mobile phone app and finally arrived within twenty minutes.

Guan Ran opened the door and looked up and down at Chi Nuan’s dress today: “Chi Nuan, when did you change your style?”

“Occasionally I also want to try other styles.She cleared her throat, “Sorry, I overslept today and came a little late.””

“It’s okay, I just made the food.She picked up the civet cat that was rubbing against Chi Nuan’s feet. “If I remember correctly, you don’t eat green onions, right?””

“Ah, yes.Chi Nuan scratched the kitten’s chin, “Guan Ran, how long have you had a kitten?””

Chi Nuan came to Guan Ran’s house once for work last year. At that time, her house was very deserted, just like her own stone.Now that I have a kitten at home, I feel as if there are flowers and plants growing on the rocks.

“I picked it up next to the trash can downstairs in the community last month. It’s called Fufu.”

“Very good, Fufu is such a lucky little kitten.”

Guan Ran stared at Chi Nuan, who was slightly bent down to tease Fu Fu, and was in a trance. Chi Nuan called out her name twice before she responded.

“Go wash your hands and eat.”Guan Ran walked into the kitchen first, squeezed out hand sanitizer, and washed away her inappropriate thoughts just now.

After eating half of the food, Guan Ran said calmly: “Chi Nuan, I have something to tell you.”

“At work?Is there something wrong?”Chi Nuan took two mouthfuls of rice and looked up at her in confusion.

“No.”

“That is?”

“I like you.Guan Ran had expressed his feelings to Chi Nuan as early as two years ago, “You rejected me once, I know.”But after so long, I still can’t deceive myself not to like you.”

“Guan Ran, I’m sorry, I…”

Guan Ran said her name to Chi Nuan twice. The first time Chi Nuan didn’t respond to her, but the second time Chi Nuan gave her the answer she wanted.So Guan Ran said “I like you” to Chi Nuan for the second time. She thought that this time she would tell Guan Ran the answer she wanted just like she told Chi Nuan her name for the second time.

As a result, it didn’t.

“You still haven’t let her go?”Ever since Chi Nuan told Guan Ranxue that Xue was important to her after getting the tattoo, she had vaguely guessed it. ‘Snow’ is not only a climate, but also a person.

He is the person who has always lived in Chi Nuan’s heart.

“No, I thought I could let her go, but I seemed to have compromised again.”Can’t let it go, can’t let it go. How can she let go of someone who can make her cry with just a coat?

“Chi Nuan, I thought the companionship and three years I gave were enough.The corner of her mouth raised a slight arc. “It seems that I have thought too much.””

The three years when Song Shixue disappeared were the three years when Guan Ran accompanied Chi Nuan.

But he didn’t expect that time and companionship were not enough to make Chi Nuan forget her.

“Chi Nuan, I really envy her.If you have the chance, could you take me to meet you?”

Guan Ran has never seen Chi Nuan’s snow, but she has seen Chi Nuan who loves the snow too many times.
