If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

"Young Master, should we follow them?"

Qi Nan raised his hand and gave the bodyguard, Xiao Hei, a hard slap, saying, "Follow my foot!"

If you don't want to follow me, then don't follow me. Why did you hit me?

Xiao Hei had unspeakable suffering in his heart.

Qi Nan rested his chin on his hand, pretending to be deep in thought, "I'm going to give you a task."

"What mission?"

"Check if the apartment next to Xia Ningqi's is available for rent. If it isn't, go and rent it. I need to move in tomorrow."

"Yes, young master, I'll check right away."

Although he was very curious as to why Qinan would choose to live in this kind of wall-mounted house instead of a perfectly good big bungalow, Xiao Hei didn't ask any more questions after learning from the previous example and simply agreed.

As for the specific reasons...

Qi Nan's goal was naturally to get closer to Xia Ningqi.

He had made up his mind that starting tomorrow, he would frantically reform himself until her hatred for him was reduced to a minimum, and only then might he be able to find a glimmer of hope.

The male protagonist appears in November.

When the time comes, I can just leave after I've built up my favorability rating, and it won't affect the romance between the male and female leads.

As for the extent to which it can be achieved.

He didn't know either.

But it doesn't matter, after all, I was a master of woodworking in my previous life, so I still have some experience.

Besides, it's always better to put in the effort than to lie down and wait to die.

Even a nobody should have the will to live.

Just then.

His phone suddenly rang with a special notification tone.

Qi Nan took it out and saw that it was a message from Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Brother Nan, did you keep your promise to me?"

It's obvious that Lin Xiaoxiao was referring to getting a haircut.

I'll be your dam!

Qi Nan quickly typed a line of text on the screen: "Get lost, and don't contact me again."

After sending the message, Qi Nan immediately blacklisted her without hesitation.

at the same time.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was getting her nails done with her best friend Tang Rou, teased, "Just you wait, Qi Nan, that simp, gets things done very quickly. He's probably already cut Xia Ningqi's hair off."

No sooner had I finished speaking than my phone beeped with a message notification.

Tang Rou raised an eyebrow, "Returned so quickly?"

With one hand still resting in the nail technician's palm, Lin Xiaoxiao said smugly, "Of course, look who trained you."

"Sister Lin is really capable. In the entire academy, only you can make Qi Nan, this rich young master, so infatuated."

Vanity is satisfied.

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up her phone unhurriedly, but when she saw the message the other party had sent, she almost popped her eyes out.

I noticed that her expression was off.

Tang Rou, standing beside her, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What did Qi Nan send you?"

"He...he told me not to contact him anymore..."

Even doubting that her eyes were playing tricks on her, Lin Xiaoxiao withdrew her other hand and rubbed the corner of her eye, only to find that the text sent from the other side remained unchanged.

Is this really true?

Tang Rou frowned. "That's impossible. He clearly invited you to a candlelight dinner this morning."

There was no reply. Lin Xiaoxiao typed three words, "Why?", but then saw a glaring red exclamation mark at the end of the message.

"And they were so bold as to block me."

Tang Rou asked, "Then what are you going to do? Go find him and ask him what's going on? I feel there's a high chance he didn't complete his mission, so he deliberately caused this scene."

"I'm looking for him?" Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed. "Have you ever seen an owner apologize to their own dog?"

"Forehead..."

"Yeah, anyway, he likes you so much, he'll probably come back when he's hungry, just like last time."

Neither of them seemed to care much and continued getting their nails done.

-

the next day.

Qi Nan got up very early.

In the mirror, although his hair was messy, his features were well-defined, and he was just as handsome as he had been in his previous life. This was one of the few advantages that the original owner could still boast about.

After a quick wash, I finished washing up.

He went to the kitchen of the house.

"Aunt Qin, is the breakfast I asked you to prepare yesterday ready?"

Aunt Qin nodded. "The young master is all ready."

After saying that, she handed Qi Nan a beautifully packaged bento box from the stove.

He reached out and took it.

Qi Nan opened the lid and checked it over.

It has all kinds of expensive ingredients, such as baby lobsters, mantis shrimp, and sea cucumbers.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"Aunt Qin, the breakfast you made looks really appetizing."

"Haha, as long as you like it, young master."

It doesn't matter if he likes it or not.

This bento box was specially prepared by Qi Nan for Xia Ningqi.

That's why he got up at six o'clock today.

Then.

Qi Nan arrived at Xia Ningqi's apartment by car.

There was no knocking.

He simply leaned against the railing and waited quietly.

About five minutes passed.

The apartment's iron gate was opened from the inside.

Xia Ningqi walked out of the door wearing a white dress that had been patched many times.

She had insomnia yesterday and stayed up all night editing videos, receiving fifty yuan in payment from the client.

At the same time, because she hadn't rested well, she was suffering from neurasthenia and was rubbing her temples with her slender white fingers when she went out.

"Hi..."

Hearing that voice she loathed, Xia Ningqi bit her lower lip and slowly opened her eyes.

In front of the door.

Qi Nan, carrying a lunchbox, smiled brightly and said, "Xia, I brought you breakfast."

They probably put cockroaches or dead rats in the bento box.

Xia Ningqi didn't even have the energy to scold him. She walked straight past Qi Nan and headed downstairs.

Forehead....

Qi Nan's smile froze in mid-air; being treated like air was not a pleasant feeling.

Without hesitation, he immediately caught up with Xia Ningqi.

"I really brought this for you. If you're worried about it being poisonous, I can eat it during your job interview."

"Sigh, please believe me this once, I really am here to atone for my sins."

...

chatter.

Xia Ningqi glanced at him coldly, her voice colder than a piece of frozen iron, "Get lost."

Qi Nan's throat was dry.

This is completely different from the back alleys he frequented. The other party is like an impenetrable wall, giving him absolutely no chance to get close.

this day.

He remembered.

When a person has nowhere else to go, there is still one way.

That is.

—It's a dead end!

woohoo~

But I don't want to die.

-

Arrived at the classroom.

Xia Ningqi neither bought breakfast nor ate Qi Nan's lunchbox. She found an empty seat and sat down quietly.

As for Qi Nan following behind her.

Without a second thought, he sat down next to her, pushed the bento box in front of her table, and kept muttering, "Grandma, please eat. How am I supposed to gain her favor if you don't eat? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please have pity on me and be a good person."

The people around him looked at him strangely.

Qi Nan usually delivers lunch to Lin Xiaoxiao, so why is Xia Ningqi doing it today? Is this some new prank?
