Chapter 1622 Nan Yifeng's Affection Changes
Even at 11 p.m., the city's hustle and bustle had not completely subsided; neon lights flickered on the streets, as if telling the story of the night.
As time went by, Nan Yifeng and his friends' drinking party gradually came to an end.
Everyone stood up, said goodbye to each other, and prepared to embark on their journeys home.
Lili had been keeping a close eye on Nan Yifeng's actions. When she saw everyone packing up to leave, her heart suddenly raced, a mix of nervousness and anticipation swirling within her.
She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said in a slightly trembling voice with a hint of coquettishness, "Mr. Nan, tonight... may I come to your house?"
Her eyes were full of longing, and her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes as she waited for Nan Yifeng's response.
Nan Yifeng paused for a moment, his eyes deep and complex, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
The atmosphere around us was somewhat subtle, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Lili was overjoyed, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face, full of pride and excitement.
She hurriedly followed behind Nan Yifeng, and the two of them went together to the hotel suite where Nan Yifeng usually stayed.
The suite was luxuriously and warmly decorated, with soft lighting in every corner, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
Lili had drunk some wine, and her already rosy cheeks became even more radiant.
The timid and cowardly girl who dared not easily try new things is no more.
She seems like a completely different person now, full of confidence and courage.
All of this is thanks to the so-called "techniques" taught to her by the woman who had undergone plastic surgery.
Encouraged by these "techniques," she felt an unprecedented surge of impulse.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her hands trembled slightly involuntarily.
Finally, she mustered all her courage, stepped forward, and stared intently at the man before her—Nan Yifeng.
When she reached Nan Yifeng, she stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly reached out her slightly nervous hands toward his collar...
Her fingers lightly touched Nan Yifeng's collar, the movement slightly awkward yet carrying a deliberate air of allure.
Nan Yifeng frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he did not immediately push Lili away. He simply stood there quietly, letting Lili do as she pleased.
His gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if he were looking through Lili and thinking about other things, perhaps he was thinking of the person deep in his heart—Nan Weiwei.
Nan Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly. Even in his drunken haze, his gaze still held a sharp edge, as if trying to pierce through Lili's disguise and see her true thoughts.
A mocking smile played on his lips, his voice laced with languor and a hint of sarcasm: "Why do we do this? For the money."
Lily nodded. "Yes."
"To do something like this for money? The price is a bit too high."
Lili's hand remained frozen on Nan Yifeng's collar, her face burning with shame that overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
She bit her lip, trying to calm herself down, her voice tinged with stubbornness: "I know this isn't something to be proud of, but I have no other choice. My father is in the hospital and needs a lot of medical expenses every day, and my younger brother is still in school and needs money too. Sister Hua is willing to lend me money, so I can only agree to these conditions."
Nan Yifeng gently pushed Lili's hand away, swayed as he walked to the sofa and sat down, resting his hands on his forehead, staring blankly ahead: "Is money really that important? Important enough for you to sell your body and dignity?"
Lili stood there, tears welling up in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "For me, money is the most important thing right now. Without money, my father might not survive, and my brother might have to drop out of school because he can't afford the tuition. I also want to earn money through my own efforts, but I don't have the time or the opportunity. Sister Hua said that as long as I entertain the guests well, I can earn a lot of money and pay off her debts as soon as possible."
Nan Yifeng remained silent for a moment, and the image of Nan Weiwei involuntarily appeared in his mind.
What would that kind and innocent girl, who always had a bright smile, think if she knew what was happening before her eyes? He smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, "Weiwei, if you were here, you would definitely scold me for being foolish."
Hearing Nan Yifeng's murmur, Lili felt a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Nan, who is this Weiwei you're talking about?"
Nan Yifeng suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly turning cold. He glanced coldly at Lili and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Lili was startled by Nan Yifeng's gaze and quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak again.
The room fell silent, broken only by the occasional car horn outside the window.
Nan Yifeng slowly raised his head, which had been hanging down. A complex emotion flashed in his drunken eyes, a hint of pity for Lili's situation and confusion about his own absurd behavior.
Looking at Lili, who was crying her eyes out, her pitiful appearance inexplicably reminded him of Nan Weiwei's occasional aggrieved expression, and his heart softened for no reason.
After a moment of silence, Nan Yifeng sighed deeply, his voice low and tinged with helplessness: "Fine, you'll stay tonight."
His voice seemed to come from a distant place, carrying an indescribable weariness.
Lili's previously desperate eyes instantly lit up, as if she had grasped at the last straw. With tears still wet on her face, she said eagerly, "Really? Mr. Nan, thank you so much!"
Her voice trembled with excitement, and her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes.
Nan Yifeng frowned, waved his hand to signal her to quiet down, and then said, "Tomorrow I will give you a sum of money, enough to solve your current predicament. Go back and tell Sister Hua that you and I have already... had a relationship."
His tone was so flat and emotionless, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Lili was taken aback at first, then a blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said softly, "Mr. Nan, this...this isn't quite right."
Although she knew why Sister Hua had arranged for her to come, she still felt shy and uneasy when she actually had to face it.
Nan Yifeng sneered, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "What's wrong with that? Isn't this the result you wanted? You took the money, solved your problem, and Sister Hua achieved her goal."
His voice carried a hint of disgust, as if he found this transactional behavior distasteful.
Lili bit her lip and stopped talking, only nodding silently.
The room fell silent again, with only the ticking of the wall clock sounding particularly clear in the quiet night.
Nan Yifeng leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and tried to calm his chaotic thoughts, while Lili stood by, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Rest now, you sleep on the sofa, I'll sleep on the bed." After saying that, Nan Yifeng walked unsteadily to the sofa, leaned to one side, and lay down heavily on it.
He closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible, but the alcohol made his head dizzy, and his thoughts drifted uncontrollably, sometimes showing Nan Weiwei's innocent smile, and sometimes showing Lili's pitiful appearance.
Lili stood by the bed, stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
She carefully climbed into bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and wrapped herself up tightly.
Her body was as stiff as a stone, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She was both relieved that she wouldn't have to face those embarrassing things tonight, and puzzled and uneasy about Nan Yifeng's actions.
Meanwhile, Lu Feng dragged his weary body home. As he opened the door, the warm yellow light from the living room bathed him, instantly bringing a touch of warmth to his heart, which had been adrift outside, filled with alcohol and worries.
He saw Xiaomei sitting on the sofa with her eyes slightly closed, seemingly dozing off, but she immediately opened her eyes after hearing the door open.
You're back.
Xiao Mei's tone was as gentle as a spring breeze, slowly brushing past my ear.
A faint sense of concern and weariness seemed to linger in his words.
She stood up lightly, her steps as graceful as a fairy dancing as she walked towards Lu Feng.
As she approached, a pungent smell of alcohol hit her, causing her to frown slightly.
However, this slight displeasure did not affect her expression. She still smiled and spoke softly: "I knew you would inevitably drink and make merry when you're out and about, so I specially prepared a pot of stomach-soothing soup in case you need it. What if you drink too much and suffer from unbearable stomach pain?"
Looking at Xiao Mei, Lu Feng felt a surge of guilt and gratitude welling up inside him.
He reached out and gently hugged Xiaomei, his voice choked with emotion as he said, "Xiaomei, thank you, you're always so thoughtful."
Xiaomei said, "Why are you being so polite with me? Go drink the soup and get some rest."
Lu Feng nodded, walked to the dining table, picked up the bowl of still steaming soup, and drank it down in one gulp.
The warm soup flowed down his throat, making his stomach feel much better and giving his weary heart a moment of comfort.
He put down his bowl, looked at Xiaomei, and said, "Xiaomei, thank you."
Xiao Mei smiled, took his hand, and said, "Go wash up quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow." Lu Feng responded and turned to walk into the bathroom.
The next morning, soft sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, gently scattering across the dining table like golden threads, bathing the entire room in a warm hue.
Lu Feng and Xiao Mei sat facing each other, with a simple yet cozy breakfast laid out in front of them: steaming milk, golden and crispy bread, and tempting fried eggs.
Lu Feng picked up his cup, took a sip of milk, then put the cup down. With a hint of helplessness and emotion on his face, he started a casual conversation: "Xiao Mei, there's something I want to tell you."
"Um... what's wrong?"
"Well, something unexpected happened last night! It was that Nan Yifeng. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he suddenly seemed to be possessed and went out drinking with a college student."
Xiao Mei...
"And they were both completely drunk, totally out of their minds! What's worse, this guy actually took her to a hotel! Oh my, look at him now, it seems like he's made up his mind to completely forget about Nan Weiwei..."
Xiao Mei was holding a piece of bread, about to put it in her mouth, when she heard this. Her hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face vanished instantly. Her expression changed drastically, and her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief: "Really? How could this be! Although Nan Yifeng usually seems carefree, his feelings for Nan Weiwei are genuine. How could he change so suddenly?"
Seeing Xiao Mei's strong reaction, Lu Feng quickly put his index finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture and said in a low voice, "You absolutely mustn't tell Nan Weiwei about this. I just mentioned it casually. Nan Yifeng must be feeling bad right now, so let's not add to his and Weiwei's troubles."
Xiao Mei slowly put down the bread in her hand, her brows furrowed tightly, as if they were knotted into an unsolvable knot.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with worry and regret, and said softly, "Sigh, those two... When Weiwei was with me and Xiaoxiao, she never uttered a word about Nan Yifeng. Before, she would talk about Nan Yifeng three times in three sentences, but now she doesn't even mention his name. It seems she is really hurt deeply."
"Don't worry, I'm not a blabbermouth, I won't tell her. I just think it's such a pity. They were so in love, they shared so many wonderful times, watched sunrises and sunsets together, walked through streets and alleys together. Those memories are so vivid, how could they just break up like that?"
Lu Feng sighed, his eyes dimming slightly. He gently patted Xiao Mei's hand, comforting her, "Relationships are sometimes so complicated; no one can really explain it. Maybe they're just temporarily lost. After some time, once they calm down, they might figure out what they truly want."
Xiao Mei looked up at Lu Feng, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "I hope so. I really don't want to see them miss each other like this. They are such a perfect match, like a prince and princess in a fairy tale. They should have lived happily ever after."
Lu Feng smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with determination: "Yes, I believe they will find their own happiness. Whether they end up together or apart, they will be able to face it with equanimity and no longer be troubled by past relationships."
After they finished speaking, the two fell silent again, each lost in their own thoughts. Only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window broke the tranquility of the room.
