Chapter 258: Siblings Missed Each Other
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Kang looked at Zheng Yue and caught the longing in her words.
Zheng Yue’s clean and soft face happened to enter his eyes. From this angle, he could see her eyelashes fluttering slightly, making Nan Kang’s heart soften.
“Alright, 1’11 transfer some money to you. If it’s not enough, tell me.” He agreed readily.
In the end, she still made use of Nan Kang’s soft spot.
Thinking about how she was alone here and didn’t have many friends, it seemed inevitable that she would miss home. Thus, Nan Kang didn’t think too much about it.
Zheng Yue was instantly happy to see him agree and Nan Kang was also happy to see her so happy.
Previously, she had secretly moved away and learnt a lesson from Nan Kang. Therefore, she planned to go back to her hometown to recuperate this time and took the initiative to ask Nan Kang.
She reached out to hug Nan Kang. “Alright, 1’11 cook for you tonight.”
Nan Kang’s expression softened, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were hidden. He smiled and hugged Zheng Yue, thinking that she was sensible.
Nan Xuan’s recent life was the opposite of his father’s.
He spent almost every day in a daze, as if he did not know where he was. When he came to the company, he started to get busy and was overwhelmed by all kinds of matters.
In front of him were densely packed words, and the word ‘contract’ was almost unrecognizable.
Nan Xuan signed expressionlessly and placed the next contract in front of him, trying to numb his increasingly guilty heart with this behavior. Despite that, he was still thinking about Murong Qiao.
The memories of his previous life were still in his mind, constantly reminding him of the mistakes he had made.
“Take these away.” Nan Xuan called his secretary over.
He said while sitting on the chair tiredly. His neck ached after his body relaxed.
The secretary responded. Seeing Nan Xuan like this, he didn’t dare to say anything. He just silently followed instructions.
Then, he remembered that there was still time after the meeting tomorrow. Hence, Nan Xuan planned to take a plane to find Murong Qiao after the meeting.
Being busy in the company wouldn’t make him forget what he had done to Murong Qiao. Instead, it would make those memories more clear and painful.
The next day, Nan Xuan booked a plane ticket to Hui University and asked Nan Hao about Murong Qiao’s movements in school.
“Other than the dormitory, she’s in the teaching building and the library. We can always find these three places,” Nan Hao gave an answer.
However, after he said that, Nan Hao finally reacted. “Brother, why are you asking this?”
In Nan Hao’s eyes, Nan Xuan had never paid attention to these things. Why did he suddenly ask about Murong Qiao?
“Nothing,” Nan Xuan replied casually and hung up.
He didn’t tell anyone about his visit to Murong Qiao, not even his secretary.
It was rare for him to be so willful, he thought.
But in fact, Nan Xuan had not thought about what he was going to do until he boarded the plane and saw the blue sky and soft clouds floating past the window. His mind was blank.
He knew that Murong Qiao definitely didn’t want to see him, but Nanxuan just couldn’t suppress his desire to find her. This thought was rooted in his heart.
No matter how he tore it apart and buried it, it would only sprout again to remind him.
He just wanted to see Murong Qiao, even if he had to stand far away from her.
After a plane ride, a taxi ride, and some directions from strangers.
Nan Xuan reached Hui University, where Murong Qiao was, and followed the advice Nan Hao gave him.
Thus, he went downstairs to the girls’ dormitory early in the morning to see if he would be lucky enough to see Murong Qiao come out.
The phone rang tirelessly again.
However, Nan Xuan did not even look at it. His gaze was fixed on the door of the dormitory from the beginning to the end, wanting to capture the appearance of a familiar figure.
He couldn’t go up, but he really wanted to take a look at Murong Qiao, so he stood downstairs and waited persistently.
After having waited till the dew evaporated and the sun set in the west, he still failed to see Murong Qiao.
He felt like he had become a statue. His body was stiff, as if he had lost his control. His eyes were sore and uncomfortable.
Nan Xuan’s hair was messy, and his eyes were frighteningly red. There was stubble on his chin, and his face was full of defeat.
If anyone saw him like this, how could they still associate him with the young master of the Nan family? They would probably think that he was a vagrant.
“Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao…” Nan Xuan murmured the name.
He forced himself to focus and stared at the door. Even though he was exhausted, he did not intend to leave.
It had been a long time since his phone rang. He turned it to silent mode because the 99+ messages and calls disturbed his attention.
However, even when the moon was high in the sky, Nan Xuan did not see Murong Qiao.
“Drip, drip, drip—”
A special bell rang. This meant that there was a problem that he had to solve, and the situation was urgent.
Nan Xuan finally moved. He picked up his phone and answered the call. “Hello.”
Nan Xuan’s voice was extremely hoarse. He had not drunk a single drop of water the entire day. His voice was so unpleasant that it shocked the assistant who called from the other end.
“Someone from the Musheng Corporation is looking for you.” Fortunately, his professionalism was still online and he quickly explained the situation.
This corporation could be considered the most important business partner of the Nan family. Any matter regarding them could be considered the most important. It was no wonder that his assistant had called him.
At the same time, Nan Xuan also understood that he had to leave.
He had waited here all day to no avail. It was time to end it.
Nan Xuan was silent for a moment. “1 understand.”
He turned around and walked in the direction he came from, but he did not take the first step.
Nan Xuan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the dormitory door, his eyes filled with anticipation.
However, he still did not see the person he wanted in the crowd.
“Time can’t wait,” he reminded himself in a low voice.
However, this reminder had the opposite effect. The footsteps he took were as heavy as a thousand pounds. Nan Xuan took a step forward and couldn’t help but look back, afraid that he would miss Murong Qiao because he didn’t look.
It only took him five minutes when he came, but now, the same distance took especially long to walk.
On his way back, the time happened to be at the end of the evening self-study session and a group of students were walking towards the dormitory from the direction of the teaching building. The spacious street was now very crowded.
Realizing that his current image was not very good and that he did not want to attract attention, Nan Xuan leaned against the roadside and walked out, avoiding the most crowded end.
At this moment, the person he was waiting for was walking with his two roommates in the middle of the road amidst the crowd.
“Let’s watch tonight’s episode of Fearless together…”
“Okay, then I’ll buy some snacks later.”
Her charming and lively voice floated in the wind. Murong Qiao was walking beside Yang Xin with her arm hooked around Yang Xin’s. She was smiling like a flower, and the happiness in her eyes was written all over her face.
She was returning to the dormitory while Nan Xuan was getting ready to leave. The distance between them gradually shortened.
However, the noise turned into an invisible curtain between the two of them. Nan Xuan’s gaze kept sweeping past everyone’s faces, so much so that he did not look ahead.
“Ugh!” He collided with a girl and knocked her to the ground.
Nan Xuan frowned and lowered his head. He looked at the girl in front of him apologetically.
At the same time, Murong Qiao walked past Nan Xuan and was chatting with her roommates.
At that moment, the distance seemed to be infinitely close and infinitely far.
“It’s good to go to the supermarket. 1 happen to want to buy something.”
A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Nan Xuan suddenly turned around and looked around, but he did not see the figure in his mind.
Was it an illusion?
