After leaving Fu Nanxun’s thatched hut, Nan Qianqian’s expression was extremely ugly.
That was because during the rest of their conversation, Fu Nanxun hadn’t even spared her a single glance.
That handsome, cold, resolute face of his had also been frighteningly dark.
If she hadn’t seen wrongly, there had even been a trace of disdain on his face?
“How inexplicable.”
Nan Qianqian’s delicate brows knitted tightly together, and her pink lips couldn’t help muttering aloud.
“Qianqian, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
Seeing his daughter’s terrible expression, the village Party secretary immediately stopped walking and asked with concern.
“I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m a little sleepy.”
Seeing the anxious look on the village Party secretary’s face, Nan Qianqian pulled herself out of her thoughts and casually made up an excuse, somewhat absentmindedly.
“You didn’t sleep well?”
The village Party secretary froze for a moment before suddenly remembering that his daughter must have felt wronged yesterday. On top of that, her head was still injured, so naturally she hadn’t slept well last night.
He immediately said with heartache, “Then Dad will hurry and take you home so you can get a good sleep. We can talk about taking care of Nanxun later. There’s no need to rush.”
Just now, he had boasted that from now on, he would have his daughter deliver meals to Fu Nanxun every day, and while she was at it, wash some clothes and tidy up the house.
His main intention was to let the two of them spend more time together and cultivate their feelings.
Once Nanxun’s leg recovered and the two of them developed feelings for each other, they could register their marriage.
He had been calculating all of this in his heart, and in a moment of excitement, had forgotten that his daughter’s head injury had not completely healed yet.
She was already a patient herself. How was she supposed to take care of someone else?
The moment Nan Qianqian heard that she wouldn’t be allowed to come take care of Fu Nanxun, she hurriedly said, “Dad, I’m perfectly fine. I just need to go home and sleep for a while. It’s nothing.
“I’ll come deliver food to Fu Nanxun tomorrow.”
Seeing her father’s furrowed brows, Nan Qianqian continued with a perfectly serious expression.
“Dad, I just think that as people, we can’t go back on our word.
“Especially since you’re the village Party secretary. That would be even worse. People would gossip about you!
“As your daughter, I should also set a good example.”
Nan Qianqian spoke with such righteous conviction that the village Party secretary was instantly moved beyond words.
Looking at his daughter’s serious expression, he thought to himself that after doing something foolish once, this girl’s personality had truly changed quite a bit.
It seemed she had really come to her senses.
She had always been extremely beautiful. Now, with such a lovable personality as well, the village Party secretary couldn’t help feeling gratified.
However, deep down, he still felt somewhat guilty toward his daughter.
If it hadn’t been because of him, his daughter wouldn’t have agreed to this matter.
It wasn’t that Nanxun was bad, but…
“Sigh!”
The village Party secretary couldn’t help letting out a soft sigh.
Nan Qianqian didn’t say anything.
Judging by her father’s expression, he had definitely been moved by what she said.
The village Party secretary remained silent and simply led her along the road home.
Nan Qianqian turned her head and glanced back at Fu Nanxun’s tightly closed wooden door.
She silently made up her mind.
She, Nan Qianqian, was definitely going to cling tightly to Fu Nanxun’s powerful thigh.
Even though his leg was injured and he was poor, her stance remained unwavering!
First of all, she had to make one thing clear.
She definitely wasn’t doing this because she had been tempted by his looks. She simply treasured her life, that was all.
She only knew that all the original owner’s miserable fate later on had begun with rejecting this marriage.
Therefore, she was going to cut off that fate right at its source.
Fu Nanxun narrowed his dark eyes slightly.
Through the cracks in the dilapidated window, he watched the backs of the two people as they walked away.
Looking at the unfamiliar little path before her, Nan Qianqian’s brows knitted tightly together.
Halfway home, she and her father had run into someone from the village who needed to speak with him.
After being stopped midway, her father had no choice but to tell her to head home by herself first.
Unfortunately, her brain had short-circuited for a moment, and she had followed the original owner’s blurry memories onto a different path.
At this moment, she had truly proven the saying that if one didn’t court disaster, one wouldn’t die.
She, Nan Qianqian!
Ahem.
Had managed to get herself lost.
Looking at the unfamiliar mountain path, Nan Qianqian couldn’t help rubbing her forehead with a headache.
She had already circled around this area several times.
Not only had she failed to encounter a single person, but no matter how she walked around, she always ended up returning to the same place.
By now, tiny beads of sweat had formed on Nan Qianqian’s fair forehead, and even her head was beginning to feel somewhat dizzy and muddled.
Her wild guess was that it was probably caused by the injury on her forehead!
Glancing around, she simply plopped down onto the ground, planning to rest for a while before continuing.
With her head buried between her knees, Nan Qianqian’s consciousness gradually became hazy.
Everything before her eyes was gray.
Nan Qianqian was somewhat bewildered.
Because right now, she was staring eye to eye with a little cutie?
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she shifted her gaze away and looked around.
At this moment, she was standing within an entire gray, hazy world.
Every flower, blade of grass, tree, and river that entered her sight was gray and indistinct.
There was even a house resembling a Beijing courtyard residence, yet that too was shrouded in gray.
Only the “little Pomeranian” that had just been staring at her was completely snow-white from head to toe.
Its round eyes looked like two black gemstones embedded in its eye sockets.
Why did she call it a little Pomeranian?
Because the little cutie in front of her looked exactly like the purebred Pomeranian puppy she had once spent five thousand yuan buying on Taobao.
Don’t ask her where that little Pomeranian had gone, because she didn’t know either.
Speaking of it, the whole thing had been rather mysterious.
There had been one time when she took it to the park for a walk.
One human and one dog had left the house, but only one human came home?
Even now, she still couldn’t understand how her little Pomeranian had inexplicably disappeared.
Still, seeing this little cutie that looked exactly like her Pomeranian…
She instinctively wanted to walk over and hug it.
Before she could move forward, however, the “little Pomeranian” actually opened its mouth and “spoke”?
“Master.”
The soft, childish voice sounded like that of an adorable little child.
Nan Qianqian instantly froze, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Only one thought appeared in her mind.
The little Pomeranian had spoken, and it had even called her Master?
What the hell?
“Master, I’m Ruirui!”
While Nan Qianqian was still completely bewildered, the little Pomeranian spoke again.
This time, its tiny body even nimbly leaped into the air and instantly threw itself into her arms.
What shocked her even more was that the little Pomeranian had actually said that it was Ruirui?
Ruirui?
That was the name she had given the little Pomeranian she used to raise.
That dog had been frighteningly clever, apart from the fact that it couldn’t speak.
When she had lost Ruirui back then, she had been heartbroken for a very long time.
Nan Qianqian hugged the soft little cutie in her arms, her hand unconsciously stroking its snow-white fur.
Sensing its master’s gentleness, the little creature even rubbed its obedient head against Nan Qianqian’s embrace.
“Ruirui, are you really my Ruirui?”
Nan Qianqian’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
Her heart was filled with uncertainty as she asked the question.
“Master, of course I’m Ruirui. Could it be that you’ve already forgotten me this quickly? You were the one who gave me this name.”
Ruirui’s voice sounded aggrieved.
If it had been a person, Nan Qianqian felt that it would probably burst into tears from grievance in the very next second.
Nan Qianqian found it somewhat unbelievable.
But then again, she had already transmigrated into a novel.
At this point, what else was impossible?
In this unfamiliar era, having Ruirui, who had mysteriously disappeared, return to her side was simply an incredibly delightful surprise.
After accepting that the little Pomeranian in her arms really was Ruirui, Nan Qianqian once again looked around at the unfamiliar gray surroundings.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she slowly asked, “Ruirui, where are we right now?”
