Nanxi saw Alen when she went out to use the restroom. At that time, Alen was already dressed up neatly, a well-fitted casual suit accentuating the man’s already striking features, making him look more extraordinarily handsome!
He was standing in the hallway, his gaze casually fixated on a certain direction. Nanxi paused: That way, it led to her cousin Liang Qiaoqiao’s private room!
She saw a faint, extremely faint smile hooked up at the corner of Alen’s lips — so faint that if Nanxi hadn’t been sharp-eyed, she would not have noticed it at all. Then he turned, seemingly ready to leave!
Nanxi paused for a moment, hurriedly calling out to him, "Hey, wait a minute!"
Alen turned around, looked at Nanxi, and looked somewhat surprised. But soon, his expression restored its calm. His attractive eyes curved into a smile as he said, "Hello, little cousin!"
Nanxi felt a little awkward and looked at him, asking, "Uh, are you leaving?"
"Yep. Going back to Korea!"
He grinned, a tinge of melancholy flashing across his eyes, "By the way, can you deliver this to your cousin for me..."
In his slender and good-looking hand, he held a gray envelope. Nanxi was taken aback. Just now, was he contemplating how to deliver this to her cousin?
Nanxi took it, feeling its thickness in her hand. She looked up at the man, "What is this..."
Alen pursed his lips, clenched his hand into a fist, and pressed it against his left chest, quietly saying, "My Heart!"
After he finished speaking, he waved to Nanxi, turned around, and left.
Nanxi looked at his retreating figure and then at the envelope in her hand, which was not sealed. This meant that he didn’t mind others seeing it!
Curiosity piqued, Nanxi opened the envelope and took a look, shocked...
Inside were photos of Liang Qiaoqiao...
Nanxi quickly lifted her gaze to the direction where Alen had left, but it was already empty, with no one in sight!
Heaviness suddenly filled her heart. Yinchu was right; Alen was a good man, but sadly, he and her cousin were star-crossed lovers!
When Nanxi returned to the small private room, Yinchu had already emerged from the hot springs, and was resting on the couch. Nanxi went over and nestled next to him, sighed lightly, only to suddenly find herself being pulled into his arms.
"Don’t think too much, take a nap! Be good!"
Yinchu said in a low voice, eyes still closed, looking somewhat exhausted beneath his elegant eyebrows and delicate facial features.
Nanxi pursed her lips. It was true, wasn’t it? No point in overthinking these things. Why not let them go!
She snuggled a bit more into the man beside her, Nanxi closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the room was somewhat dark. Most of the lights in the private room had been turned off, leaving just one dim night light at the door. Yinchu was not there; she had no idea where he went.
Nanxi got up, feeling quite lazy after the hot spring bath. After a nap, she felt hungry!
She rubbed her belly, got up to dress herself. Just as she was neatly dressed, the door to the private room was pushed open. Yinchu, who had disappeared earlier, walked in with a chic stride.
"Hungry? Let’s go eat!" He extended his hand to encircle her slender waist, gave her a gentle peck on the cheek, and soft-spokenly asked.
Nanxi stuck out her tongue. He seemed to know everything. Indeed, she was hungry!
It was during dinner that Nanxi saw her cousin Liang Qiaoqiao and Mo Yan!
However, both of their faces were very calm. Compared to their usual expressions, there was no difference, as if nothing had happened at all!
But had nothing indeed happened?
Nanxi had doubts. It was impossible! After all, Alen had left, which indicated Mo Yan did not go to Alen’s room. That meant he had been staying in her cousin’s room all along, which meant...
Oh! Nanxi’s mind was in disarray. She got choked on her food. Yinchu, frowning, picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, his motion very gentle, yet he reprimanded her, "Eat your food properly. What are you daydreaming about?"
Just then, Liang Qiaoqiao suddenly stood up, wiping her mouth as she addressed everyone, "I’ve finished eating, you guys continue!"
As she was about to walk away, her arm was pulled back by Mo Yan, who was sitting next to her. He spoke in a somewhat displeased tone, "You ate so little?"
Liang Qiaoqiao glanced at him, sighed, "Can’t help it, I’m not used to Japanese food!"
Mo Yan pursed his lips, didn’t respond but stood up, told everyone, "I’m also not able to enjoy it! You guys continue, I’ll take her to a Chinese Restaurant!"
Then, Mo Yan took Liang Qiaoqiao’s hand and walked away!
