Yesterday, when she came to Yi Nansheng's place, she was utterly exhausted and had no energy to observe her surroundings.
Now, after resting here for at least one night, Jian Yunong rubbed her aching temples and surveyed the arrangement of the house.
The minimalist decor was very bright and cheerful, reflecting Yi Nansheng's preferences. Jian Yunong also noticed that there were no feminine items anywhere, suggesting that Le Yi did not live here.
"It will be ready soon," Yi Nansheng said without turning around, quickly preparing a double-yolk egg and plating it.
His movements were very efficient.
Sandwiches, fried eggs, and hot milk made up today's breakfast. Jian Yunong took a bite, and Yi Nansheng asked eagerly, "How is it?"
He looked like a child seeking a reward.
Jian Yunong smiled at him. "It's very good. Better than I expected."
In fact, she really didn't think Yi Nansheng's cooking skills would improve so quickly.
In the past... when they were together, Yi Nansheng couldn't do anything in the kitchen.
Even when making fried rice, he didn't know whether to use cooked rice or uncooked rice—such basic knowledge.
So much time has passed, and both she and he have changed.
Yi Nansheng clearly thought about the past just like Jian Yunong did.
How sweet it used to be.
"After breaking up with you, I started learning to cook by myself." Yi Nansheng smiled bitterly, thinking that they still had a chance to get back together, and that he would cook for her then.
He wanted her to know, look, after the breakup, I am making an effort to be with you again.
Unexpectedly... you have already married someone else.
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became somber.
"You've worked hard." Jian Yunong didn't want to bring up this topic, and Yi Nansheng realized he shouldn't mention the past; it would only cause Jian Yunong pain.
Although he was also in pain, he could still live normally. But Jian Yunong was forever haunted by what happened back then, unable to overcome her inner demons.
"Eat more." Yi Nansheng smiled at Jian Yunong, trying to appear nonchalant. "Mm." Jian Yunong also forced herself to smile and eat more.
After finishing breakfast, Yi Nansheng began to clean up. Jian Yunong offered to help but was refused.
"Just sit there quietly; I'll make you some tea right away." Yi Nansheng quickly brought out hot tea.
Jian Yunong noticed the time on the wall. "Don't you have to go to work?"
Of course, Yi Nansheng had work, but right now he had something more important to do—being with Jian Yunong.
"The boss doesn't need to go to the office every day; otherwise, why would I hire so many people?"
"You... don't have to specifically keep me company." Jian Yunong rubbed her temples. "I really don't have much going on; I just need to rest well. As long as I rest well, I'll feel a bit better."
Then she would have to face the issues with the Huo Family.
Thinking of this, Jian Yunong let out a breath of foul air.
Yi Nansheng's eyes revealed pity. "It's rare for me to have a break; can't I just take a little lazy time?"
The familiarity in his tone was reminiscent of when they were in love.
However, there was no longer the sweetness of the past, only the indifference that came with the passage of time.
Jian Yunong didn't let Yi Nansheng stay for too long. She wasn't feeling well, and not long after finishing her meal, she went to sleep.
But she didn't sleep for long. Yi Nansheng, who had been keeping an eye on Jian Yunong, heard the sound of vomiting coming from her room.
Yi Nansheng was in the room next door to where Jian Yunong was resting.
As soon as he heard the sound, he rushed in.
Jian Yunong was in the bathroom of her bedroom. Yi Nansheng knocked on the door. "Jian Yunong."
Jian Yunong's sobbing voice sounded hoarse. "Don't... don't come in..."
Yi Nansheng was very worried and directly pushed the door open. Jian Yunong was curled up next to the toilet. "Don't come over!"
Jian Yunong had vomited; she hadn't made it to the bathroom in time and had thrown up on herself. She must have looked utterly disheveled: smelly and nauseating, even she despised herself, let alone anyone else.
She hated this version of herself, hated that she couldn't fully recover, and hated that she kept causing trouble for others.
Yi Nansheng didn't give her a choice and directly picked her up from the floor.
She didn't realize that she looked just like a helpless little kitten, curled up on the floor crying.
Yi Nansheng was stained with her vomit, but he didn't notice. He directly picked Jian Yunong up and carried her to the bathtub. "Let's take a bath first. I'll go get you some clean clothes."
Yi Nansheng immediately rushed back to the room, took off his jacket, and after washing his hands, placed the clean clothes at the bathroom door.
"Jian Yunong, the clothes are at the door."
After knocking on the door, Yi Nansheng did not enter.
He turned around and called the psychologist, asking her to come over immediately.
...
The doorbell rang.
Yi Nansheng went to open the door, thinking it was the psychologist. "You finally came..."
His words caught in his throat; the person at the door was not the psychologist but... Huo Jincheng.
"You don't seem very happy to see me," Huo Jincheng greeted Yi Nansheng with a forced smile. "Someone who should be at work is actually at home."
"This place doesn't welcome you," Yi Nansheng said as he prepared to close the door.
Huo Jincheng pushed the door open and stepped inside.
"This house isn't bad."
Huo Jincheng walked around the room, casually surveying the decorations.
It was clear that this was a man's bachelor pad.
There wasn't a trace of feminine presence.
Yi Nansheng didn't expect Huo Jincheng to find this place.
His speed was unexpected yet somehow anticipated.
However...
Yi Nansheng couldn't help but glance upstairs with concern.
He hoped Jian Yunong would take a longer shower.
Huo Jincheng fixed his gaze on Yi Nansheng, catching the change in his expression. "Is someone upstairs?"
Huo Jincheng immediately headed upstairs. "My sister is currently pregnant with your child, and you..."
His words suddenly cut off as a familiar figure emerged from the second-floor room.
Jian Yunong was only wearing a bathrobe, her wet hair dripping water, looking weak and frail.
The astonishment in Huo Jincheng's eyes instantly transformed into a raging fury, almost burning his entire gaze.
"Jian Yunong!"
Huo Jincheng rushed over, searching for her everywhere, worried that something had happened to her, almost turning the entire Nancheng upside down.
Although he found Yi Nansheng here, he was just taking a chance.
He never expected to see such a scene.
In a fit of rage, Huo Jincheng pushed Jian Yunong against the wall, forcefully pinning her down. "How dare you betray me!"
Jian Yunong's neck was in his grasp, fragile and delicate, as if it would snap in two with just a little more pressure.
Jian Yunong's pupils constricted tightly; she didn't understand what he was saying.
"Huo Jincheng!" Yi Nansheng pulled him away from behind and threw a heavy punch at him.
"Do you still have the face to ask for justice?"
Yi Nansheng had long wanted to do this to him, hitting him hard, the sound of flesh tearing echoing painfully.
"It's all your fault!"
