Chapter 52: Going with the Flow of Human Nature (Additional Chapter, Seeking Recommendations)

  "No need to fabricate any touching opera lies for me, Xia Xian, I still understand you relatively well, and I absolutely won't become a Meng Jiangnu just because of one opera." Nan Shaoqian said jokingly while focusing on driving.

  Rumor has it that crying can detoxify, I'm trying it out. Xia Xuan said calmly, with a thick makeup that looked like smoky eyes.

  "I told you! There was no program at the opera house yesterday, what kind of poison can be dissolved with tears?" Nan Shaoqian still ruthlessly exposed her small lie.

  "So what poison does Nan Xue Chang have that he needs me to go and resolve?" Xia Xuan had a small doubt in her heart, and today she took the opportunity to speak out, which was somewhat better.

  All along, Xia Xuan has felt that Nan Shaoqian's gaze at her is not the kind of ordinary liking, as if he wants to search for another person through her. But like this rare species, apart from God creating her, Mo Xiao also counts as a similar species, could it be that there is still another one hidden in the world who has not been discovered yet?

  Nan Xue Chang, you should have majored in archaeology back then! It's just that you didn't dig up the right person, so you switched from archaeology to majoring in history instead!

  Nan Shaoqian was clearly startled, perhaps he hadn't expected Xia Xuan to see through his thoughts. He had hidden it so deeply that he thought he could make himself like Xia Xuan and forget about that girl. But after trying for so long, he discovered that no matter how much he liked Xia Xuan, the one he ultimately liked was still that person, and Xia Xuan was just a substitute.

  Xia Xian's personality is like hers yet not like hers, he decided to get close to her because she said I never do things that I regret, I only do things that make others regret! However, he decided to stay away from her because she said life is a circle, turning and turning will eventually return to the beginning.

  If everything could go back to the beginning, Nan Shaoqian wouldn't be so melancholic, and he wouldn't have treated Xia Xian as her, protecting him for three whole years.

  "Did you figure it out?" Nan Shaoqian said with a more subdued tone.

  "No, it's just a guess, and it may not be accurate. I just wanted to confirm." Xia Xuan let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that the accidental hit was correct.

  "After you finish work, I'll tell you slowly, sorry." Nan Shao said with a sigh.

  "What's this apology for?" Xia Xuan pretended not to understand.

  How could she possibly not understand? Nan Shaoqian let her be a substitute for three years, and an apology can't make up for it!

  Nan Shao smiled faintly, and Xia Xian this little girl, made people both respect and love.

  "It's raining today, take care of your illness." Nan Shaoqian handed a folded umbrella to Xia Xuan.

  Xia Xian smiled and took the umbrella, got out of the car, swung her little paws, and hopped upstairs with a skip.

  "My goodness! What the...! Miss Xia, tonight is for an interview, not a blind date, why are you all dolled up?!" Guan Meishan didn't recognize Xia Xuan at first, until Xia Xuan sat down at her own desk, then Guan Meishan jumped up in surprise.

  "Isn't that the same thing from yesterday? The swallows are flying low, and the orioles are singing on the silk bed by the window. The gentle breeze is blowing, and the willows are swaying. The sun is shining brightly in the south, and the clouds are drifting away. The eaves of the corridor are gleaming with dew, and the fragrance of flowers is wafting through the air."

  The Xia Xuan of before was not so self-inflated and would absolutely not make fun of himself.

  "Aiyo, don't be so nervous! Yesterday, I didn't know which great god was going to kill me with tension!" Gu Mei Shan deliberately teased Xia Xuan.

  "Mei Shan, can you explain the report to me?" Xia Xian easily turned the topic around with a slight pout.

  Guan Meishan's face suddenly looked unwell, Xia Xian furrowed his brow, had he stepped on a minefield? Guan Meishan never discussed family matters with colleagues and always lived alone. Xia Xian once thought she had stayed in Beijing after graduating to work, but later heard from others that Guan Meishan's home was actually here, she just didn't often return.

  "Xianxian, I'll give you an explanation for this matter, trust me!" Guan Meishan patted Xia Xian's shoulder and turned to leave with a heavy heart.

  "Mei Shan, you should know the idiom 'turning a curse into a blessing'! If yesterday's incident was a misfortune, then today's visit is a great fortune amidst misfortune. I'm aware that both magazines are secretly competing with each other, and I'm just a catalyst. Since they've already started writing about it, why not take matters into my own hands? After all, I believe I still understand myself best!" Xia Xiang beamed with a radiant smile.

  Xia Xian is very good at doing things that benefit herself, she clearly knows that Guan Mei Ting's actions are largely due to personal reasons, but still pushes them all onto the magazine company. She willingly goes along with being a topic of conversation, possibly due to a good tradition left over from high school, as they say "many scandals don't weigh her down", this body can withstand rumors and gossip.

  "Xuanxuan, thank you." Gu Mei Shan's eyes welled up with tears of gratitude.

  Xia Xian just smiled brightly and didn't say anything.

  "You're awake!" Wu Jiajia's face finally broke into a relieved smile.

  "What's the time now?" Jiang Jie Zhe rubbed his temples, his head was aching terribly, feeling dizzy and having an urge to knock against the wall.

  "It's past two in the afternoon, are you hungry? I'll make something for you to eat." Wu Jiajia got up and was about to head into the kitchen when Jiang Liche pulled her hand back.

  "I'm not hungry, how did I get back?" Jiang Jie looked around at his surroundings, clearly in his bedroom, this was his home, but last night he had clearly met Xia Xuan on the street, and after that, things weren't very clear.

  "I called your phone, no one answered. Later someone picked up and told me you fainted on the street, so I came to pick you up." Wu Jiajia said simply, that's what happened, can't make up too many lies, have lied enough before.

  Jiang Jie didn't say anything. In her impression, he kissed Xia Xian, and she didn't resist. So she must not have lost her memory. Xianxian, you still remember everything!

  "Xiao Zhe, what's wrong? Does your head still hurt?" Wu Jiajia saw Jiang Ze's distraction and thought he was still in pain, so she considerately gave him a massage.

  "Jiajia, I want to tell you something." Jiang Tuoze grasped Wu Jiajia's hand and said.

  "Alright, go ahead!" Wu Jiajia sat on the edge of the bed, with a listening expression.

  Xiao Zhe, we've known each other for so long and been in love for so long, but we've never really had a heart-to-heart talk. Every time I think about you and Xia Xian being in love, I feel so jealous.

  "These days, I've never brought up Xuan Xuan with you, but we both know that this is an unavoidable issue. Jia Jia, I don't want there to be any secrets between us. Love often dies in suspicion." Jiang Ze said calmly.

  "I've thought about it too, after all, I was the one who wasn't right in the first place. I know you felt guilty when you saw Xia Xuan's injuries, and a large part of that responsibility is mine. If you want to make it up to her, I have no opinion on that, whether it's work, studies or life in general. But emotionally, I'm sorry, I just can't bear it." Wu Jiajia clearly expressed her attitude.

  A few words made Jiang Jie feel sentimental, but those who didn't understand the situation thought Wu Jiajia was very considerate and gentle. However, in reality, perhaps only Xia Xuan and Jiang Jie knew the truth, but ironically, one person didn't want to recall it, while the other didn't want to investigate further.
