"What?"
Su Nanyin, who was leaning against the headboard with her legs curled up, trembled violently upon seeing Nencao's message, starting to suspect that the undercover mother might like him.
The color drained from her face.
"Nonsense!"
Su Nanyin stammered, replying, "Old iron, how could you have such a suspicion? Don't forget your relationship with the undercover mother. Even if you suspect it, you must be careful."
"I know that. Didn't I say I suspected it? It's because I'm unsure that I'm telling you, so you can help me analyze it."
Nencao replied, "I have this suspicion because she got angry with me last night. My intuition tells me that only a woman in love would react that way to her man. But she herself didn't realize it, because she's too close to the situation." kuAiδugg
Su Nanyin looked at her phone screen, her eyes slowly filling with deep fear.
Yes.
Too close to the situation!
When Nencao was with the undercover mother, he always maintained pure clarity.
Nencao could always maintain his clarity, not because he was exceptionally wise, but because he had many women around him and couldn't fully invest his heart in any one of them.
But the undercover mother?
For whatever reason, her entire focus was currently on Nencao.
Even if she was very wise and understood many things better than Nencao, her mindset had slowly changed in a subtle way.
This was why last night, after she played the bad guy for Nencao again, and Nencao felt bad and said she didn't need to go to such lengths for him, the undercover mother, subconsciously expecting Nencao to thank or praise her, had a petty reaction and started to sulk.
Her action of slamming the car door when she got out also proved this.
Especially her reaction of inexplicable loss and inexplicable irritability after Nencao drove away, further proved it.
Su Nanyin slowly typed, "So, what do you want to do?"
Nencao retorted, "You are my life mentor, you give me advice."
Su Nanyin typed quickly without hesitation, "Gradually distance yourself from her!"
Nencao: "No."
"Why not?"
Fear reappeared in Su Nanyin's eyes, "Do you really want to get involved with the undercover mother?"
Nencao: "What are you talking about?"
Su Nanyin: "Then why do you say no?"
"With her intelligence, as soon as I start distancing myself, she'll immediately become aware of it."
Nencao replied, "Then she'll realize something is wrong. And then she'll panic and be afraid, and won't forgive herself for her mindset change."
Su Nanyin: "So what? After all, there can absolutely be no feelings between you."
Nencao replied, "She is a very, very proud woman. She is also a woman who is ruthless to her enemies and even more ruthless to herself. If she truly realizes her mindset change and cannot forgive herself, there's a high probability she'll use poison to end everything immediately."
Su Nanyin: "I think if the undercover mother chooses that path, it might be the most correct. Because no one can guarantee she won't go crazy and take the act seriously. If that happens, not only will you have wronged the undercover, but you will also tarnish the undercover mother's true innocence."
Nencao: "She cannot die."
Su Nanyin: "You can't bear to lose her?"
Nencao replied, "In my heart, she is already like family. Yes, like family. And very, very close family. Would you want your very, very close family member to take a desperate path?"
Su Nanyin: "But what if she goes too far?"
Nencao: "There is that possibility. But I believe that perhaps at some moment, she will realize something is wrong and be able to eliminate the poisonous weeds within herself in time. After all, she is a very smart woman."
Su Nanyin: "You trust her that much?"
Nencao: "I trust her as much as I trust myself."
Su Nanyin smiled, "Since that's the case, then she won't disappoint you. Alright, my girl is calling me. Sigh. Never enough, so annoying."
Nencao replied, "Go ahead, go ahead. You can sleep hugging those legs at night, it's definitely a sign your ancestors' graves have been disturbed."
Su Nanyin put down the phone and lay flat on her back.
After staring at the ceiling blankly for a few minutes, she smiled with relief.
She turned sideways, hugged her knees, and slowly fell asleep.
She slept until nine-thirty in the morning.
In the past seven-plus hours, she had neither insomnia nor dreams.
It was as if she had just closed her eyes and opened them again, and seven-plus hours had passed.
This high-quality sleep was something she had been desperately seeking for over a year.
"The weather today is really good."
She raised her hand to pull back the curtain, looked at the warm sun outside, and murmured.
Indeed.
The sky over Sijiu today was a rare azure blue.
Despite such good weather, Tang Xiaoni did not want to get up.
Nor did she allow Li Qianfan to get up.
Clinging to him like an octopus, she hummed and purred with alluring eyes.
If Li Qianfan didn't have important things to do today, she would lose if he couldn't get out of bed by this time tomorrow!
She was terrible at it.
But he recovered quickly, and more importantly, his spirit of perseverance made even Li Qianfan surrender and worship.
"I have to go."
"Last three minutes."
"Can you be more spirited?"
"With my physique, what can I do?"
"Okay, okay, last 2 minutes and 50 seconds."
"Wait a moment."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm setting up the camera."
"You want to—"
"Yes!"
The doll said shyly, "I want to plaster our photos all over the room. That way, I won't feel lonely when you're not by my side in the future."
Li Qianfan asked with a chuckle, "What if someone else comes in and sees them?"
"Brother Qianfan, this is our little nest. Every corner of the nest is filled with the scent of love."
The doll exhaled into his ear, her breath fragrant, "Besides you and me, no one else is worthy of even glancing into this room."
Li Qianfan shook his head—
The doll said, "I know, you might think I'm too lustful. After all, when I'm with you, I seem to do nothing but tremble. But I beg you to understand, this is Tang Xiaoni's love."
Tang Xiaoni's love was indeed extraordinary.
Li Qianfan could only indulge her.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Tang Xiaoni stood by the window, looking down as Li Qianfan got into his car. She waved goodbye with her left hand from the car window, then immediately brought her hands to her mouth and blew a sweet kiss.
After watching Li Qianfan's car disappear into the traffic, Tang Xiaoni reluctantly lowered the curtain and slowly walked into the bathroom.
In the large white porcelain bathtub, clear water rippled, and petals floated fragrantly.
This was prepared for her by Li Qianfan. The water was slightly hot, just right.
"Strange, why can't I get enough?"
Tang Xiaoni sat in the bathtub, tilted her head, and thought for a long time before smiling shyly and happily, closing her eyes and slowly lying down in the large bathtub.
The bathtub was two meters long, one meter sixty wide, and fifty centimeters high.
Even though Tang Xiaoni's figure was a standard hourglass shape, she was only a little over 1.5 meters tall.
Lying flat in such a large bathtub, it was quite spacious.
Gurgle.
Tang Xiaoni lay silently underwater for a full two and a half minutes before exhaling the air in her mouth.
When she bathed here before, she also liked to lie down like this for a while.
She found it exceptionally relaxing.
She had even tried holding her breath to see how long she could hold it.
Tang Xiaoni's longest breath-holding record—
Was a coincidental 2 minutes and 50 seconds (the longest time for ordinary people training breath-holding can be around 4 minutes).
When she held her breath this time, she was silently calculating the time. When she felt she was nearing her limit, she exhaled and prepared to sit up, but she froze and opened her eyes underwater.
In the past, when she held her breath out of boredom, as soon as she exhaled and her lungs became deflated, she would panic and surface within 20 seconds at most.
But now—
Tang Xiaoni did not feel the discomfort of only being able to hold her breath for 20 seconds after exhaling, as she usually did.
Not only was she not uncomfortable, but she also had a strong illusion: "I am not underwater right now. Instead, I am lying on the grass, looking at the blue sky, and freely breathing fresh air."
How could this be?
Tang Xiaoni stared wide-eyed underwater, looking straight at the rippling water surface, and tried to slowly move her limbs.
When a person moves their limbs underwater, it requires physical strength and oxygen.
The more vigorously one moves, the more physical strength and oxygen are consumed, this is common sense.
But Tang Xiaoni—
A full five minutes passed, and she was still lying flat underwater, moving her limbs nimbly, needing no air at all, and experiencing no terrifying sense of suffocation!
"Why can I stay underwater without breathing air?"
"Have I already died?"
"Did I die in Brother Qianfan's arms last night? And can only be underwater without breathing because I'm a ghost?"
"It's just that I don't know I've died and become a ghost!"
Tang Xiaoni became more and more frightened, she no longer dared to lie underwater and quickly surfaced with a splash.
Immediately, she impatiently reached out and fiercely pinched something that Qianfan's brother loved to play with.
Pain.
It really hurt!
The pain made Tang Xiaoni groan and tears stream down her face.
But her heart, which had been filled with fear that she had died, instantly calmed down.
Especially after she ran to the window and, risking being seen, stood in the sunlight to confirm she had a shadow.
Ghosts are not afraid of pain.
Ghosts also have no shadows.
This is common sense—
"Then, how could I stay underwater for so long?"
Tang Xiaoni looked at her hourglass reflection, stared blankly for a long time, then grabbed her wristwatch from the cabinet, stepped onto her size 35 feet, and rushed into the bathroom with her trembling, cherished possession of Li Qianfan, and lay down in the bathtub again.
She watched the time.
Time ticked by, second by second.
A full ten minutes later, Tang Xiaoni finally felt a slight sense of suffocation.
She sat up with a splash, her face full of excitement, "I, I can actually hold my breath for so long! What's going on? Could it be..."
She suddenly thought of a possibility.
That she had been defeated by Brother Qianfan hundreds of times!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qianfan drove his car out of the highway toll station in Tian Dong Province.
He was about to accelerate when he paused.
Then he slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Du Yaoya, wearing a black trench coat and large sunglasses, looking particularly cool, stood by the roadside.
With her arms crossed, she looked at the dark blue small car.
