Chapter 198 It's Like a Dream
Xia Ning has always been a very smart person.

She would occasionally choose to become stupid, not for any other reason, simply because she liked Xu Wen.

But becoming stupid doesn't mean she is really stupid.

The tactics that always worked against ordinary women didn't seem to work on her.

Xia Ning was very happy to hear what Xu Wen said.

If she didn't think about anything now, the two of them would go back to being the silly couple they used to be, living happily together every day.

But perhaps she was too sleepy and everything around her seemed like a dream, so she spoke out her truest thoughts.

When a person is extremely sleepy, everything in front of him becomes illusory.

Not only was the surrounding scene illusory, but even Xu Wen in front of her became illusory.

He is very good and perfect. He can soothe her emotions, admit her mistakes, and take the initiative to deal with problems between them instead of avoiding them.

That's all well and good, but it just isn't very realistic.

Xia Ning felt like she was dreaming and Xu Wen was also a character in her dream.

That's why he followed her thoughts and said everything should be done according to her wishes.

If this wasn't a dream, shouldn't the two of them be having a big fight now?

Xu Wen said that she was being unreasonable and asked why she cared about such a small matter. Nothing had happened, so couldn't he have some privacy?
Xia Ning: It was you who said that lovers should be honest and not hide anything, why can't you do it? I just want you to keep your promise!

The two may get tired of arguing, or they may continue to argue for a long time without stopping.

But no matter what the situation is, the two will reconcile in the end and each side will take a step back. After all, this is the only way for love to continue.

Xia Ning said that I will trust you more in the future, and Xu Wen said that he will never hide anything again.

They admitted their mistakes to each other, worked things out with each other, and finally retreated to a place where both of them felt comfortable.

After reconciling, they will go out for a walk or go out for dinner, and their feelings will be sublimated during the quarrel.

As they get to know each other, they will go further and further and become more and more suitable in the future.

Xia Ning felt that these were the various stages that ordinary couples would go through.

She and Xu Wen may have their own advantages, but they are both in their first relationship, so it is normal to have some small mistakes, which can be solved.

It should be like this.

But after Xia Ning returned to the room, she heard Xu Wen starting to apologize to her.

His attitude is sincere and his words are perfect, just like the gentle male protagonist in a romance novel.

This shouldn't be reality, all this should appear in her dreams.

Xu Wen is perfect now, so perfect that it seems unreal.

After saying this, Xia Ning suddenly realized that Xu Wen seemed to be perfect since the beginning of their relationship.

He was always gentle, patient, and even had no mood swings.

That's fine, but not for a relationship.

If a person can really maintain emotional stability, will he still be moved?
Xia Ning reached out and pinched her thigh.

The pain instantly flooded my brain, and now it was the cold reality.

Xu Wen didn't expect that after his sincere apology, he would be responded with such words.

Xia Ning even called him by his full name, and seemed very dissatisfied with his apology.

He explained: "I'm not fake, I'm real, and I'm right next to you."

This might also be an emotional backlash from Xia Ning, and he comforted her patiently.

While explaining, Xu Wen also took her hand and asked her to pinch it on his face: "Look, it's real, you can touch me."

Xia Ning's expression was a little confused.

She could see Xu Wen and feel his body temperature, but she couldn't feel his heart beating for her.

Everything was perfect, but at the same time, everything was bland.

Xu Wen’s eyes are beautiful and his tone is gentle, Xia Ning likes all of this.

But that was all he showed.

"Don't you think what I did today was willful? You obviously didn't do anything, but I still ran to your workplace as if to question you." Xia Ning took the initiative to provoke a war.

She wanted to see some emotion in Xu Wen's eyes, anything, even impatience and anger, just for a moment.

But unfortunately there was nothing.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were still full of tenderness, perfect and impeccable.

"I don't think so. After all, I was the one who concealed it first. If I had told you everything at the beginning, you might still be sleeping at home now." Xu Wen slowed down his tone to make himself seem relaxed, and even used a joking tone at the end.

Xia Ning's attack did not work, as the other party had no intention of quarreling at all.

She also felt that she was a little crazy and unreasonable now.

Obviously everything is fine with Xu Wen. He actively admitted his mistakes and was sincere. At this point, everything should end.

But Xia Ning didn't want it to end. She always felt that something had been overlooked.

She was craving, although she didn't know what she was craving.

When she met Xu Wen's beautiful and gentle eyes again, she finally understood.

She is craving love.

Xia Ning thought Xu Wen had fallen in love with her a long time ago.

Maybe it was when he called me "baby" at the first time, or maybe it was when he confessed his love at a military training party, or maybe it was in the tent in the pouring rain.

She thought they were in love.

But Xia Ning only realized now that she couldn't even cause the slightest emotional fluctuation in Xu Wen.

"Don't you want to have a fight with me?" She still insisted.

Xia Ning knew clearly that she shouldn't continue making a fuss now, but she just wanted to hold on to this matter.

She was fantasizing that if she kept talking, Xu Wen would definitely have a big fight with her.

Quarreling is not a good thing, but only quarreling can quickly warm up the relationship between lovers.

I know that your doing this will make me uncomfortable, but I will change for you and slowly adapt because I love you.

Only when both lovers think this way can a love last.

There are no two people who are born to be suitable for each other, and there are no perfect lovers. Everyone becomes suitable for each other slowly.

"Why should we quarrel? I don't want to quarrel with you. I want you to be happy every day." He replied.

The tricks that had always worked on other women were now completely ineffective on Xia Ning.

Now he also began to wonder how to solve today's problems.

Xia Ning sighed slightly. She knew that no matter how much she continued to make a fuss, there would be no result.

Her head became increasingly dizzy, and everything around her became unreal. She didn't know how long she hadn't slept.

"Why don't we take a rest first? You're not in good condition right now. Let's talk about it after we get up." Xu Wen said with concern.

Xia Ning now looks dazed, and her eyes are a little distracted.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Xu Wen had completely blocked all the questions she could raise, and there were no problems between them anymore.

Of course there is no love either.

Xia Ning finally asked: "Xu Wen, do you love me?"

Women always like to ask such questions. They care more about "love" or "not love" than anything else.

Even though they have already obtained a lot, what they want most is still "love".

Xu Wen was in a trance for a moment after hearing this question.

Many people have asked him this question before.

They asked him questions like "Do you love me?" or "Will you only love me?" and so on.

He would give different answers to different guests.

Some people like to simply hear "I love you" even if they know it's fake.

Some people also like to hear him say that among all the women, he loves her the most. Xu Wen's thoughts returned to reality, and he heard Xia Ning's voice in his ears.

So what does she want to hear now?

"It's okay, whether you love me or not, I will try my best to make you fall in love with me." Xia Ning comforted herself.

There was no need to answer. When Xu Wen hesitated for a moment, she already knew the answer.

If there is no love between a couple, the best way is to break up.

But Xia Ning didn't want to break up.

Even if she doesn't love him, she wants to stay with Xu Wen forever.

She hoped that she would be the only one by his side, and it would always be her.

Xia Ning glanced at the bed. She broke free from Xu Wen's arms and ran to the bed and covered herself with the quilt.

The moment she touched the bed, she couldn't open her eyes.

She felt that maybe it was not Xu Wen's problem, but her problem, because she hadn't slept for too long, so she had so many problems.

Just have a good sleep and you'll be fine.

"Sorry for asking you so many questions. I'll take a nap. If I'm not awake before dinner, remember to wake me up." Xia Ning buried her face in the pillow, trying to escape reality.

Xu Wen knew that now was not the time to discuss "love" or "not love".

Xia Ning looked like she was going to die suddenly if she didn't sleep. We should let her sleep now and deal with anything else after she wakes up.

"You haven't taken off your makeup yet." Xu Wen reminded.

But just reminding is useless. The most important thing at this time is to take action: "Wait a moment, I will help you remove your makeup."

Xia Ning's consciousness was gradually fading, and she couldn't even understand what Xu Wen said.

She murmured softly: "I'll go to bed first, go to bed first."

Xu Wen walked to the bedside. He took a look at the makeup on Xia Ning's face and knew what to buy for her.

In his previous life, he would have carried it with him.

Don’t think that only girls need to wear makeup, boys need it too. There is a reason why makeup is called one of the four great sorceries of Asia.

However, he no longer needed a refined appearance in this life, so he stopped doing those things.

There is a shopping mall opposite Cheng Yi Hotel, and there is a Watsons in the mall.

Xu Wen picked up his wallet and walked towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a "thump" and Gu Xingruo fell in front of him.

She raised her head, her eyes full of panic, and she stuttered as she spoke: "I, I, I just happened to, well, just got back."

After saying this, she pointed to the room opposite.

How could she have just returned? She had been lying at the door since Xu Wen entered the room.

She wanted to hear something, but she didn't want to hear it.

Later she discovered that the sound insulation in her hotel was so good that she couldn't hear anything.

When Gu Xingruo was scratching his head and trying to think of a solution, the door was suddenly pushed open by Xu Wen.

She was startled and fell to the ground.

"I have to check out late," Xu Wen explained.

He was a little upset and didn't pay attention to Gu Xingruo's little trick.

It doesn't matter what you heard or what you didn't hear.

"It's okay, you can stay as long as you want." Gu Xingruo replied quickly.

She feels very guilty now and speaks without thinking. She regrets it after she says it.

As she stood up from the ground, she looked into the room. There was no sign of Xia Ning in the living room, so she must be lying on the bed.

Gu Xingruo looked at the room, then at Xu Wen, and couldn't help feeling confused.

So fast?
She always thought that Xu Wen was so energetic and would be great at this kind of thing.

However, Gu Xingruo soon found out that he was wrong.

There was no strange smell in the room, and Xu Wen's hairstyle was still intact, which was different from what she had seen in the short movies.

I heard it smells like heather.

After realizing that nothing happened between them, she breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

But she soon became nervous again.

This isn't going to be the one I'm going to buy.
"Are you going downstairs?" she ventured.

Xu Wen didn't bother to hide it and said directly: "I'm going downstairs to buy makeup remover."

Gu Xingruo was afraid that he said this on purpose and was actually going to buy some bad things, so she quickly said, "Buy whatever you want. I have everything you want."

She simply took out her room card and swiped it to open her door.

Xu Wen thought that it was indeed troublesome for him to go downstairs, so he might as well borrow Gu Xingruo's handbag, let Xia Ning remove her makeup quickly, and then sleep comfortably.

This time he didn't refuse and agreed directly: "Okay, let me see what you have."

"I have a lot of good things!" Gu Xingruo forced a smile.

She never expected that one day her cosmetics would have to be used by her love rival.

This made her feel inexplicably ashamed.

It felt like the plot of a short movie she had seen, where the male and female protagonists were doing something, and the victim was crying while the others were helping.

Gu Xingruo shook her head to get rid of these strange thoughts.

She thought it would be better for her to watch less of these things in the future as they were polluting her brain.

But Cao Yanan always sent them to her, and she was always curious.

Ugh.

Gu Xingruo stood next to the bathroom and watched Xu Wen go in to find something.

The two said nothing more and remained silent.

She wondered what would happen if she closed the door at this time?

But all this is just fantasy.

A few days ago, she had thought of countless reasons to get Xu Wen into her room, but none of them were realistic, and Zhang Zhiyuan was always making trouble, so she gave up.

She didn't expect her wish would come true in this way.

Xu Wen started to pick from a pile of bottles and jars. He silently sighed that the eldest lady was worthy of being the eldest lady, as she used products that he had never dared to think of.

"You can't choose? Let me help you choose." Gu Xingruo reminded.

She thought, what could a grown man see? He was probably completely clueless.

But as soon as she said this, Xu Wen had already made his choice.

"These few things are enough. I'll return them to you after you use them." Xu Wen walked out holding a few bottles and jars.

Gu Xingruo took a closer look and found that it was indeed something needed for removing makeup.

Is this still an expert?

"How do you know all this?" Gu Xingruo asked curiously.

She thought that getting boys to know about cosmetics was as difficult as getting girls to know about Ultraman.

"I learned it." Xu Wen said casually and walked back with the things in his arms.

When Gu Xingruo wanted to say something, Xu Wen had already walked out of her room and returned to his own room.

She stretched out her hand to keep him, but she had no reason to do so.

Forget it, she would just consider it as a sacrifice of her own cosmetics to prevent Xu Wen and Xia Ning from doing anything strange.

Otherwise, what should I do if I buy that on the way downstairs?
After the other party closed the door, she stopped eavesdropping and returned to the room.

All she could think about was Xu Wen.

I don’t know why, but Gu Xingruo always felt that there was a sense of strangeness in him just now.
