Having known Han Baobao for over two years, living and studying together, because of Yang Su and Lan Qiqi’s relationship, she wasn’t exactly close with her, but not too distant either.
If it had not been for Han Baobao’s provocation a while ago, things wouldn’t have developed to this extent between them!
In Nanxi’s eyes, Han Baobao was a typical spoiled young lady, somewhat wilful and haughty, arrogant, but not bad in nature.
After all, with a brother like Han Shaojing pampering her and it was clear, that despite her complaining outwardly about her brother, inside her, respect and reliance prevailed!
Thinking of this, she perhaps overthought things. She lifted her head to look at Han Baobao, only to find her eyes welling up again.
She reached out to grasp Nanxi’s hand, her eyes shimmering as she said, "Nanxi, actually I really want to apologize to you! I was wrong earlier today! I ... I was just too angry! You know, I once liked Li Weihuan, Li Weihuan liked you, our relationship didn’t change, right? I admired Lu Yinchu, Lu Yinchu likes you, I’ve known this since long ago, I didn’t do anything to you, right? But my brother, he disappointed me so much! I only have this one brother, who has pampered me since childhood, but now..."
As Han Baobao spoke, tears fell down her cheeks again, "Nanxi, I’m truly sorry. I know I’ve been too wilful and ignorant. But I really like you. You know, in college, Yang Su and Lan Qiqi practically ignored me, only you would chat and talk with me, and didn’t alienate me. I considered you a friend in my heart. Precisely because you’re a friend, I was that angry, I’m sorry..."
Seeing Han Baobao’s demeanor, Nanxi couldn’t help but think, Han Baobao was still young, too well-protected, and emotionally inexperienced, much more immature than herself.
Everyone’s growth process is different, isn’t it also true for Han Baobao?
With a silent sigh, she held Han Baobao’s hand in return, and said, "I’ve made mistakes in the past too, you don’t need to apologize to me, let’s put everything behind!"
Hearing this, Han Baobao immediately stopped crying and looked a bit excited, "Nanxi, I knew it! I knew that you wouldn’t blame me! Thank you, Nanxi! There’s also something else..."
Han Baobao bit her lip, "Nanxi, about what happened tonight... can you, can you help me keep it a secret? You know my ... my brother... if he finds out, I’m done for! Nanxi, can you help cover for me, please, Nanxi?"
Nanxi furrowed her brow, looking rather troubled. This wasn’t the first time Han Baobao had caused such trouble. If she helped cover it up out of kindness, it might not necessarily be a good thing for Han Baobao!
Han Shaojing was a good brother, genuinely hoping for the best for his sister. He had even asked her to look after Baobao before!
"Then, you have to promise me that you won’t do this again, your brother really cares about you, don’t make him worry about you excessively!"
Upon hearing Nanxi’s approval, Han Baobao immediately held her hand in excitement, "Thank you, Nanxi! Don’t worry, I promise it won’t happen again! That’s not the main thing though, the main thing is, we’re friends again! Now when I go out, I can invite you. I believe that if you’re with me, my brother won’t be so strict with me!"
Nanxi smiled, just then, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang. It was Lu Yinchu calling.
Only then did Nanxi remember, she had forgotten to tell Lu Yichu when she had left earlier. He must be worried after not seeing her for such a long time!
Nanxi frowned, quickly picking up the call—"Hello?"
"Nanxi, where are you now?"
Over the phone, Lu Yinchu’s voice came across worried.
Nanxi glanced at Han Baobao, then said, "Um, I’m outside, I’ll be back soon, wait for me!"
"Outside?" Lu Yinchu was confused. "What are you doing outside? Wait... don’t wander around, I spotted you!"
"What?" Nanxi bit her lip, lifting her eyes to the window, sure enough she saw a man in a sharp suit hanging up his phone while quickly approaching the pharmacy!
Han Baobao was taken aback, "Oh my god, what do we do? Nanxi, your Lu won’t tell my brother that I sneaked out, will he? What to do, I’m done for! What do I do..."
