Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox

Chapter 451 - 449: Is He Not Worth It?

Song Nuan turned her head and saw the cold smile at the corner of her sister’s lips. She blinked slightly, sensitively following the direction Song Yi was looking.

She saw two men dressed in black.

She frowned and then looked away, pretending not to notice.

"Sis." Song Nuan spoke up, "I haven’t had breakfast yet, does your company have any?"

"The restaurant has." Song Yi said, "You can go get some, or I can have someone bring it to the office for you."

Song Nuan, who was always too lazy to walk around or move, said, "Uh-huh, have someone bring it to the office, I don’t want to go."

"Okay."

...

Throughout the morning, Song Yi was busy, and Song Nuan kept asking if there was anything she could help with, but found that she wasn’t much help.

Quite... confused.

"Sis." Song Nuan called her very seriously.

Song Yi raised her eyebrows, "?"

"I take back what I said about being smarter than you." Song Nuan clearly understood the situation, "I think you’re smarter than me."

She was just better at academics, but in society, apart from having some knowledge, the main thing was life skills.

She always said her IQ was way better than Song Yi’s, but Song Yi just laughed and never commented, even agreeing with her sometimes.

Song Nuan now realized this was just an older sister letting her little sister have her way, not caring about these things.

Song Yi smiled gently, her charm in her eyes beautiful, "It’s not about who is smarter than whom; it’s about specialization, who’s more professional."

Song Nuan fell silent.

Song Yi set down her documents to look at her, "I know, you want to enrich your experiences and knowledge, but you’re still young, don’t rush."

"A tall building starts from the ground, no one becomes big overnight; at your age, you don’t need to truly understand all these things."

Song Nuan said, "But no one at my age has experienced what I have."

She felt she was about to crack under the pressure.

She thought if she broadened her horizons and expanded her views, many things would become clear.

Song Yi frowned, looking at her.

"Want to talk about it?" Song Yi said, "If you don’t mind."

Sometimes saying it out loud can make you feel much better.

Song Nuan lowered her gaze, "I don’t like Gu Nanjiu."

Song Yi looked seriously at Song Nuan, "No one would like him."

"Is he not worthy?" Song Nuan raised her eyes, "Perhaps he also longs to be loved."

"But his approach is wrong, bringing only fear." Song Yi stared seriously at Song Nuan, "He might actually like you, but selfishly in his own way."

"He affected you, and I guess the reason you’re here today is because of him."

Song Nuan was stunned, looking at her sister, furrowing her brows, feeling it was both true and untrue.

But she was certain of one thing, she never liked Gu Nanjiu.

Gu Nanjiu was always imposing, never had any real demeanor.

He also had ulterior motives towards her.

Song Yi lightly tapped the table, then suddenly smiled, "Don’t understand what I mean?"

"I don’t."

"His liking appeared in the wrong way and impacted you in the wrong form." Song Yi’s fox-like eyes stared at Song Nuan, "His feelings are also burdensome."

"So burdensome that at his last moment before dying, he was filled with guilt and love for you, leaving the world with reluctance, yet with relief, even thankful for not ruining you."

"Such a thing puts pressure on anyone."

It’s something unforgettable for life.

As to whether Gu Nanjiu was wrong, he indeed was.

Yet, at the moment of death, he seemed to understand and let go, making one feel both love and hate.

A person who’s bad and ruthless, not completely tainted, leaving a trace of purity and longing, can make one feel there’s pity even for the hateful.

If only Gu Nanjiu were more thoroughly wicked, people would just think he deserved his death.

He paid for his deeds and apologized with his life.

Song Yi saw this matter clearly and understood, "The harshest and most resolute thing he did to you were his words to you before dying."

"What he had planned was for you to be well, yet also wanted you to forever remember him, etching a blood-red mark in your life."

"It’s completely normal to be troubled and worried because of this."

"Song Nuan, Gu Nanjiu’s appearance was meant to make you grow, to show you how deeply people can imprint themselves in others’ lives."

"In your life, his role was as your teacher, a physics teacher. He truly taught you a lesson, an unforgettable one."

"You have to learn to accept everything the world gives you. Some things, no one else can help you shoulder."

Song Nuan lowered her head, "I know."

But that night she cried, not knowing why.

She had promised to take Lu Yan to dinner, yet never did, and they lost touch after that.

Her mood was a bit stifled.

Song Yi wasn’t wrong.

The harshest thing Gu Nanjiu did was those words before he died.

He meant them sincerely, but it also shackled Song Nuan.

Perhaps it was indeed... a profound lesson in life.

"Knock, knock, knock—" Just then, a slow knock came from the door.

"Come in."

"President Song, someone is here to check for fire safety hazards."

Song Nuan suddenly raised her eyes, feeling her heart skip a beat as she looked at the person coming in, not knowing why she was so flustered.

"Okay." Song Yi glanced at Song Nuan, abruptly speaking up, "Can you help me entertain them? I have a meeting in a bit."

"Huh?" Song Nuan didn’t react in time.

"Didn’t you want to see the world and increase your experiences?"

"This is a good opportunity, learn to interact with people."

Song Nuan bit her lower lip, "But I don’t know... about the company’s specific layout, or where the fire safety equipment is."

"I’ll have Li Wen go with you."

...

Song Nuan went with Li Wen and saw two people.

Seeing that Lu Yan wasn’t there, Song Nuan felt an unexpected kind of emotion.

It was like her expectations fell short?

What was she expecting? Maybe it was Gu Nanjiu’s influence making her eager to meet different kinds of people.

So that in the future, no matter what she encounters, she’d remain calm.

... Calm.

Gu Nanjiu really did bring storms into her life, so now she perhaps should learn to take things lightly, having already faced the worst.

"Hello, my name is Song Nuan, my sister is a bit busy, there’s an assistant here to take you to inspect the equipment, and you can tell me if there’s any issue. I’ll pass it on to my sister."

With that, Song Nuan glanced at Li Wen, "Take them to inspect, I’ll follow."

"Hasn’t Captain Lu arrived yet?" One of them suddenly asked this question.
