"Lili..."
"..."
His legs drew in a bit more, the murmuring sound from his mouth was very, very faint, but the room was too quiet and it happened to reach her ears.
"Lili..."
Tang Xiaohua closed her eyes briefly, then walked out and called for a servant to change Wen Nian’s clothes; however, as soon as the servant entered, Wen Nian shouted and sent the servant away.
"Guard Tang, His Excellency... he never allows us close to his body."
The servant spoke with a touch of grievance.
Indeed, he never allowed others near him.
"I understand. You may go now."
The servant nodded and left the floor.
The lights in the hall were turned off, but the lights on the corridor of this floor remained on. Tang Xiaohua stood watch outside, the door ajar so she could hear any movents from Wen Nian...
"Lili... Lili..."
A buzzing sound continued like that of a mosquito, incessant.
He must really be drunk... Wen Nian could hold his liquor, but he would get drunk when he drank a lot.
She grew tired from standing and sat down on the floor; it was a bit cold, so she went to her room to get a blanket to sit on.
Her head leaned slightly against the wall.
Just two more months, endure for two more months... and she could leave Anlin, could leave Wen Nian.
In this life, no matter what, she could not end up with Wen Nian, whether she ended her days alone or not.
She didn’t want to walk the sa path again, to love the sa person again.
For Wen Nian, everything seed fresh, but to her, it had been "old" for decades.
Be a good soldier, climb to the position she desired, realize her own worth... her worth, not Wen Nian’s.
...
"Click..."
The door opened from the inside, and Wen Nian looked down at Tang Xiaohua seated at his doorway with one leg bent, the other straight, and one hand resting on the bent knee.
Her head was bowed, and slightly longer short hair hung down, half-covering her small face.
Wen Nian was about to squat down when Tang Xiaohua suddenly lifted her head, her previously closed eyes now wide open, her gaze sweeping around defensively and settling on Wen Nian. She quickly scrambled to her feet,
"Your Excellency! You’re awake! What ti is it?"
Wen Nian continued to stare at her intently, and whether it was Tang Xiaohua’s misconception, she felt as if there was... fire in Wen Nian’s eyes!
She glanced at her watch... 3:30 a.m.
Judging by Wen Nian’s appearance, he had just woken up; his clothes were unchanged, his hair was a ss, but his handso face was the sa as always.
"Your Excellency..."
"Co inside to sleep."
Tang Xiaohua quickly responded and gathered up the blanket to head to her own room, but she had only taken one step when,
"I ant into my room."
Wen Nian stood behind Tang Xiaohua, his hands in his pockets, his voice having dropped to an icy point.
Tang Xiaohua stiffened.
She bit her lip, "I refuse."
"My room isn’t safe, I worry there may be terrorists infiltrating, so I order my personal guard to protect at close quarters! You say you refuse?"
"Your Excellency! You’re being unreasonable!"
"Yes, I am causing trouble, so what?"
"..."
Tang Xiaohua glared at him. When the President decides to be unreasonable, he’s much harder to deal with than ordinary people!
What’s there to fear, if it ca to a fight, Wen Nian might not be her match!
Thinking this, she walked past him into his room.
Wen Nian closed his eyes, turned, and shut the door with a bang; he had no other choice but to vent the inexplicable rage in his heart on the door.
The night passed and nothing happened; Tang Xiaohua was assigned to sleep on the couch, Wen Nian took a bath and lay back down on the bed. That was all.
