Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 57 Nan Li! You are shameless!
After Lin Yuan helped Nan Li, who was about to fall, to her feet, Nan Li's heart was still beating rapidly and her chest was heaving violently.

She was really scared just now.

The moment she lost her balance, she was filled with fear.

Especially when she saw Lin Yuan was indifferent to her fall, she almost despaired.

Fortunately, in the end, Lin Yuan still extended a helping hand in time and did not watch her fall.

Although she was a little panicked at first, she was an experienced person after all, and her complexion soon returned to normal.

She looked at Lin Yuan, a trace of gratitude in her eyes, and said with a trembling voice: "Thank you."

Before she could fully recover from the thrilling and relieved mood, the piercing pain in her ankle came again, making it impossible for her to stand.

Nan Li secretly swore in her heart that no matter what the circumstances, she would never wear such high heels again.

She frowned and slowly sat down, taking off her exquisite high heels. She stepped on the shoes with her toes and gently rubbed her aching ankle. Every touch made her gasp with a slight moan of pain.

When Lin Yuan heard this, a hint of amusement flashed across his deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of mockery: "So you can say thank you, too."

Nan Li stopped what she was doing, raised her chin slightly, and looked directly into Lin Yuan's eyes. Her gaze was firm and calm, and she said slowly: "Of course I will say thank you. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things."

Lin Yuan found Nan Li's expression funny.

It is human nature to be selfish, but Nan Li always looks self-righteous, as if she has never been tainted by the dust of the world. How childish and ridiculous.

The curve of Lin Yuan's mouth became more obvious: "Indeed, the way you chased after Chen Xiang to apologize is indeed very sensible."

"I was..." Nan Li's words stopped abruptly as if her throat was strangled.

Every time I meet Lin Yuan, he always finds a way to easily disrupt my train of thought with just a few words, leaving me speechless.

If it weren't for Xia Junshan's matter, she would never compromise easily.

"What? You can't speak?" Lin Yuan pressed on, his arms folded across his chest, looking at Nan Li leisurely, with an even more teasing look in his eyes.

"Anyway, I have a clear conscience." Nan Li bit her lip, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.

Then, Nan Li seemed to muster up a lot of courage and continued, "Did nothing really happen between you and Tian Yulan? Even if you don't admit it, I can feel it."

She stared at Lin Yuan closely, not missing any change in expression on his face, trying to find the answer from his reaction.

"Don't make blind guesses, Ji'er." Lin Yuan's face was as calm as a lake, and he asked calmly, "If others were to speculate about you and me in this way, how would you feel?"

He secretly complained in his heart: This woman Nan Li must have a burnt-out brain to ask such a question.

Regardless of whether it exists or not, even if it does exist, who would admit it for no reason?
How stupid.

"Then I don't understand why your attitude towards me is so much colder than towards Tian Yulan? No matter what, it is Tian Yulan who has offended you the most."

There was confusion in Nan Li's eyes. This question had been lingering in her mind for a long time, and today she finally couldn't help but ask it in person.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly.

He and Tian Yulan know each other very well, which is certainly not something Nan Li can compare to.

However, of course, Nan Li couldn't let her know about this.

Unless there is a chance to assimilate Nan Li one day, that will be the best time to tell the truth.

Lin Yuan showed a meaningful smile. In response to Nan Li's suspicion, he calmly began to deceive her:

"There's a saying in the Bible: 'Do to others as you would like others to do to you.' Do you think you have done that?"

Nan Li frowned and asked back: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I am prejudiced against you?"

Lin Yuan sneered: "Whether it is or not, don't you know it best in your heart?"

Nan Li was stunned for a moment, then she sighed softly.

My mind couldn't help but think of what had happened before. Lin Yuan had indeed helped my family a lot.

Whether it was Huan Huan choosing the numbers, or pleading for Xia Junshan, or just now helping himself when he was about to fall, Lin Yuan had always lent a helping hand.

Although the result was not satisfactory, Lin Yuan still made a great contribution.

Thinking of this, her tone became much gentler: "Zhong Yi, the past is in the past. You and Jun Shan are still brothers. If you encounter any problems in the future, we can help each other."

"That sounds nice, but why do I feel like I've always been supporting your family? This time when I asked you to release a clarification video, didn't you refuse completely?"

"I..." Nan Li didn't know why she could always be easily shut up by Lin Yuan. She was silent for a while, then slowly said: "My feet hurt so badly now, can you please stop being sarcastic to me for now."

"Do you want me to sympathize with you?" Lin Yuan glanced at Nan Li's injured right foot. The color of the stockings was close to her skin tone, which made the lines of her feet more beautiful.

Lin Yuan still had a cold smile on his face, and there was no mercy in his eyes. "Wearing such high heels? No wonder you sprained your ankle."

"Don't you have any empathy?"

Lin Yuan did not respond, but reached out his left hand towards Nan Li's injured ankle, and Nan Li subconsciously shrank back.

But she was sitting on a chair with the back of the chair behind her. Even if she wanted to hide backwards, there was nowhere to go. She could only watch Lin Yuan's hand approach her ankle.

"Don't move." Lin Yuan's voice was low and majestic.

Lin Yuan held Nan Li's ankle tightly, and saw the slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored socks. The edges of the originally snow-white feet were slightly red, and there was some swelling at the ankles.

Lin Yuan took out a bottle of safflower oil from the storage space.

Although his storage space is only one cubic meter now, it is small but complete.

Food, medicine, clothing, etc., everything is available.

He prepared these items carefully in case of emergency.

As for money, it is not that important in comparison.

However, when the day comes when he really leaves this world, he will definitely go abroad to do something big and make good use of this advantage by relying on the magical properties of the storage space.

"Why do you carry safflower oil with you?"

Nan Li looked at the safflower oil in Lin Yuan's hand with some surprise, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

I'm in so much pain now that I really can't apply it myself, so I can only trouble Lin Yuan to apply it for me.

At this moment, the pain seemed to occupy her entire mind, making her subconsciously forget the existence of Tian Yulan.

Lin Yuan was too lazy to explain to her.

Looking at this man in front of me who always spoke coldly to me and was applying safflower oil on me, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

But his movements were a bit rough. His big hands rubbed Nan Li's injured ankle back and forth without any gentleness, often making her bite her lips in pain, but she dared not complain out loud.

Lin Yuan glanced at the black high-heeled shoes lying on the ground, revealing the red soles. The high-heeled shoes were exquisite and gorgeous, with high and thin heels, shining with a mysterious luster under the light. He chuckled and said, "Actually, your shoes are not for walking."

"What is that?" she asked curiously.

"We'll talk about it later when we have a chance."

...Tian Yulan had been waiting outside the box for too long. She could no longer bear the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart, so she reached out and pushed open the door of the box.

The scene that came into her sight made her freeze in place for a moment.

I saw Nan Li's feet were resting on Lin Yuan's legs.

There was also a pair of fallen stockings on the dining table.

Tian Yulan's face was filled with shock, and her mouth was surprisingly big enough to swallow a light bulb.

She looked at Nan Li in disbelief. Could it be that by sending her away, she was trying to use this method to keep Lin Yuan in Zeshu?
When Nan Li saw Tian Yulan coming in, she was like a frightened deer and immediately retracted her feet.

Lin Yuan smiled and broke the silence in the box: "Since you are so sincere, I will continue to teach you in Zeshu for a while."

Tian Yulan pointed at Nan Li and yelled, "Nan Li, how can you be so shameless!"

Nan Li was dumbfounded when she saw Tian Yulan's misunderstanding.

Especially the sincerity mentioned by Lin Yuan made her even more confused.

Didn’t I just sprain my ankle and asked Lin Yuan to help me apply some safflower oil?
This is a perfectly normal behavior.

Moreover, safflower oil cannot be applied through a thin layer of stockings. Only after taking off the stockings can safflower oil really come into contact with the injured skin and be effectively applied.

That makes sense, doesn't it?
Why did Tian Yulan make it sound like I was doing something shameful?

Isn't this purely slandering her?

Seeing that Tian Yulan had misunderstood her so seriously, she immediately explained loudly: "I sprained my ankle, what are you thinking about?"

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

"Zhong Yi, talk to her."

Lin Yuan looked helpless. He shrugged and said slowly, "Yes, yes, Nan Li did sprain her ankle. It's not what you think. She didn't mean to put her foot over here."

It would be better not to explain this. After hearing this, Tian Yulan asked:
"You didn't sprain your ankle earlier or later, but you sprained it when I was out, right?"

She felt like the toy that originally belonged to her was taken away by other children.

Nan Li was helpless. She was extremely unlucky today. She had been planning to go to the detention center to pick up Xia Junshan in the afternoon so that the family could have a good reunion, but she sprained her ankle.

What’s even more infuriating is that Tian Yulan refused to give in and didn’t believe her explanation at all.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Lin Yuan again. Lin Yuan was really something. Something that could have been explained clearly in a few words, but after he said that, it became even more confusing. There was no way to clear it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Not long after, Tian Yulan left the box angrily with Lin Yuan, leaving Nan Li alone in the box to sit and recuperate.

Tian Yulan was in the car and couldn't help but turn around and complain: "Why is Nan Li like this? She is so shameless."

Lin Yuan was driving attentively, honking the horn from time to time. After hearing this, a smile rose on his face: "I think you two sisters are really interesting. She said that there was something unclear between you and me, and you said that there was something wrong between her and me. You two really are good sisters who understand each other."

Hearing this, Tian Yulan felt a little embarrassed.

"By the way, how did you deal with the last incident with Yan Ziyou?" Lin Yuan also wanted to know about Yan Ziyou's recent situation.

Speaking of this, Tian Yulan's eyes sparkled with pride: "I took him to the place where I worked as a waiter after graduating from college, so that he could experience the hardships of life. I told him that studying is the best way out. Ziyou is very sensible and has studied harder since then."

Looking at Tian Yulan's appearance, it seemed that she had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Lin Yuan did not remind her. With Tian Yulan's personality, no matter how much Lin Yuan emphasized, she would not stop until Yan Ziyu's mind completely collapsed.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight was a little dazzling.

Xia Junshan was waiting anxiously at the door of the detention center, hoping to see Nan Li's familiar figure.

But no matter how long he waited, Nan Li never showed up.

After waiting at the door like an ant on a hot pan for more than twenty minutes, Xia Junshan reached into his pocket several times to take out his cell phone to call Nan Li, but in the end he gave up the idea.

A trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and then he silently walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and returned home without saying a word.

Half an hour later, Nan Li also returned home.

In fact, in order to welcome Xia Junshan's return today, she made careful preparations and even took a day off.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. I sprained my foot accidentally and could only rest for a few hours. I could only move after the medicine was fully absorbed. Otherwise, the injury would not only not get better, but would become more serious.

When she felt she had almost recovered, she didn't care about anything else and drove directly to the detention center.

To make matters worse, there was a traffic jam on the road and a long line of cars. Nan Li was anxious but helpless.

After finally arriving at the detention center, the staff told him that Xia Junshan had already been released.

She hurried home again.

After returning home, Nan Li saw Xia Junshan and hurriedly explained: "I sprained my ankle at noon today. It hurt a lot, so I rested for a while. When I arrived at the detention center, I found out that you had already been released."

Xia Junshan looked at Nan Li silently, at the high heels she was wearing, and saw how she walked as if she were walking on flat ground, without any sign of having sprained her ankle.

"Oh, it's okay." In fact, Xia Junshan didn't believe this poor excuse in his heart. He just felt that so many things had happened during this period of time, and he felt that his wife was a little dissatisfied with him, so it was normal for her to behave like this.

He didn't want to argue with Nan Li again at this time.

……

Life must go on.

After Xia Junshan was released, he felt uneasy.

Fortunately, he was not fired outright.

After a meeting, the company's top management decided to give him a so-called "chance" and will make further decisions based on his subsequent performance.

In fact, this is already a dangerous signal. At any time in the future, if the company feels that Xia Junshan's performance does not meet expectations, the company can kick him out without hesitation and without paying any compensation.

Xia Junshan also realized this, but he had no better solution.

A week after Xia Junshan was released, he gradually returned to his former self.

The relationship between Nan Li and Xia Junshan is no longer as tense as before, and has eased a lot.

However, since both of them are busy with their respective work, they still have very little time to spend together.

Xia Junshan was detained for a few days and had a lot of work to do.

Nan Li is now in a critical period of the home furnishing store plan, and she has taken leave several times recently, which has had a significant impact on the work progress.

So even on weekends, both of them are busy at their respective posts.

Xia Junshan was designing drawings in the company, while Nan Li was inspecting the progress of the project at the construction site.

But at this moment, bad news came.
