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

Xia Ningqi took Qi Nan to a street-side restaurant that she occasionally ate at.

It's a husband-and-wife shop.

The price is also very affordable.

Qi Nan picked up the menu and ordered five dishes, three meat and two vegetable, for less than a hundred yuan.

After it's served.

Qi Nan, who was starving, picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili and put it in his mouth.

He chewed slowly, his face showing enjoyment. Then, he hurriedly urged Xia Ningqi, "You should try it too. It tastes so good when it's freshly stir-fried. It's full of wok hei (wok aroma) and the saltiness is just right."

Upon hearing this, the girl gave a fleeting, faint smile, but quickly regained her cool demeanor.

"I'm not like you, a starving ghost reincarnated, who got to eat rice without even having to get any."

"hey-hey."

Qi Nan grinned foolishly.

I have completely forgotten the original owner's character.

The fragrant bamboo tube rice is ready.

He buried his head in his work and began to cook.

It has to be said that you can find hidden gems on the street, and the food they make is just as good as that of high-end restaurants.

Compared to Qinan.

Xia Ningqi ate with much more refinement, tucking her hair behind her ears, exuding gentleness and elegance.

"Xia Ningqi".

"Um?"

The girl looked up and found Qi Nan staring straight at her.

next second.

Qi Nan reached out and, while Xia Ningqi was still in a daze, used his thumb to wipe away the grain of rice that had gotten on the corner of her lips.

"It's alright," Qi Nan said, burying his head in his rice.

"Bang bang..."

The unexpected action made Xia Ningqi's heart beat faster.

-

They returned to the apartment together.

Xia Ningqi ignored Qi Nan's farewell and silently went into her room.

Take off your white shoes.

The scene that had just happened kept replaying in my mind.

I am really sick.

I should take a shower and calm down.

Qi Nan returned to the house.

The phone rang with the ringtone for a video call.

He picked it up and saw that it was his elderly mother calling, so he answered without thinking.

"Hello, Mom, is there something you need?"

A sharp female voice came from across the street, "Qi Nan! You brat, why are you renting an apartment instead of staying in your perfectly good house? It's not for that woman named Lin Xiaoxiao again, is it?"

Qi Nan's eardrums were throbbing painfully from the vibrations, so he had no choice but to move the phone away from his ears.

"Mom, don't worry, I didn't do this for her."

Do you think I'd believe you?

Qi Nan sighed helplessly, "I'm telling the truth."

"Don't try to fool me. I heard that you gave her your Porsche as a birthday present. After hearing this, not only me, but your dad was also very angry."

"You mean this?"

Qi Nan took out his car keys and waved them. "I'm not stupid. Why would I give her something so expensive for nothing?"

The voice on the other end softened slightly, "You need to know, it's not that Mom doesn't want you to date, it's just that the other person must be from a similar social class. I've recently found quite a few wealthy young ladies for you, and if you have time, I'll introduce you to them one by one."

"Never mind then, I don't want to be in a relationship right now."

"You're gay? That won't do. I'll send someone to take you to the urology department for a checkup tomorrow. You're the only son in the Qi family, so we can't afford any accidents."

Qi Nan's temples throbbed.

"What a load of rubbish! Your son is perfectly straight!"

"Then why do you suddenly dislike Lin Xiaoxiao? You never listened to any of my advice before."

Feeling tired of explaining, Qi Nan sighed, "Then just assume I'm gay."

Just kidding.

"It's not funny at all."

...

Qi Nan walked to the balcony.

The video on my phone hadn't been disconnected yet.

next door.

Xia Ningqi was dressed lightly, holding a clothes hanger with freshly washed underwear hanging on it.

Hearing the noise, she turned her head slightly.

Eyes facing each other.

Qi Nan blinked and waved to her.

A moment of silence fell over the air.

On the screen, Jiang Qin asked in confusion, "What's wrong, you brat? Why are you suddenly not talking?"

"I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now."

Qi Nan hung up the phone and quickly waved his hand to explain, "I didn't see it on purpose."

The main problem is that the apartment's design is too outdated, and there's nothing to block the balconies, so it's easy to see clothes hanging between adjacent balconies.

Xia Ningqi's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed.

"Then why are you still watching?!"

"sorry."

Qi Nan looked away from the white figure and sheepishly opened the door to enter the house.

The balcony next door.

Xia Ningqi hung the underwear on the pole.

He was still muttering curses under his breath, "Pervert, scoundrel, freak..."

Qi Nan collapsed onto the sofa.

He looked dejected.

Oh no, oh no, just one glance and all my hard work today has been wasted. Is there anyone in this world more miserable than me?

I'm so tired.

Qi Nan got up and picked up the guitar from the corner.

He uses music to cheer himself up when he is anxious.

...

Xia Ningqi sat at her desk.

Open the drawer.

Inside were her diary and harmonica.

According to Grandma, she has carried this harmonica with her since she was a child. Because the character "Xia" is engraved on it, she named herself Xia Ningqi.

I was somewhat lost in thought.

It wasn't until the sound of a guitar reached her ears that Xia Ningqi was brought back to reality.

Because the apartment had very poor soundproofing, even though there was a wall in between, the crisp sound of the strings could still be heard clearly.

The melody is familiar.

It's Jay Chou's "Seven Mile Fragrance".

Xia Ningqi loves music. When she's alone, she likes to listen to music with headphones on. She has also learned a lot on the harmonica, including this song, "Seven Mile Fragrance".

Hold the harmonica tightly.

Xia Ningqi lowered her eyes, curled up, and started playing along with the melody.

The sound wasn't loud.

But Qi Nan still discovered it.

He was both surprised and amused.

He did not reject the voice that joined in halfway through, but instead chose to go along with each other's rhythm.

The concert speaks for itself.

With the perfect fusion of the two timbres, Qi Nan and Xia Ningqi, despite not exchanging any words, were able to immerse themselves in the moment together.

After one song.

Qi Nan, still somewhat unsatisfied, played several more different songs, all of which were his favorite genres.

I thought Xia Ningqi would be someone I hadn't heard of before.

The result was quite unexpected for Qi Nan; the other side knew every single one of the songs.

Wow~ I've met a treasure girl! She's even heard of "Snow". No wonder she's the female lead, she's got all the skills.

...

It's getting late.

After finishing their last song together, the two stopped in tacit agreement.

Inside the small room.

Xia Ningqi put the harmonica back in the drawer.

The mirror on the table reflected her slightly upturned lips, which looked so sweet in the dim light.

Moonlight streamed through the glass window.

The girl used her slender, white fingers to open her diary, which was covered with cute bunny stickers.

The sharp strokes of the pen fell.

October 20th.

"First thing today, Grandma's surgery went very smoothly, and the doctor said she'll recover. Second, that scoundrel Qi Nan bothered me again, but he didn't do anything too outrageous. He just treated me to a meal and even helped me wipe the rice grains off my hands... Third, he plays the guitar quite well."

Ochiro: "But I still hate him!"
