After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband
Chapter 338: Xiao Nanchen and Xia Qiqi’s Past
Chapter 338
Xiao Nanchen recalled his first meeting with Xia Qiqi.
That time Xia Qiqi did not have much hostility towards him yet, because she did not know that her father was going to marry his mother. She simply thought it was an ordinary friend meeting.
Little did she know.
The liveliness and loveliness that Xia Qiqi showed in front of him at that time left a deep seed in his heart. As time went by, it sprouted little by little.
And when he truly felt that he liked Xia Qiqi was when Xia Qiqi had spoken up for him before.
After his mother married her father, because he was not born in the upper class, he was ostracized.
Behind the adults' backs, many young masters from the upper class called him a country bumpkin, said his mother was a mistress, said he was the son of a mistress, and said he was a little bastard.
In fact, he was used to it. When he was alone with his mother without a father, he had also been scolded.
He had also been called an illegitimate child and a little hybrid.
He was not surprised at all and would not fight back.
His mother taught him to endure from an early age.
Because there was no need to care about inferior people.
And even more unnecessary to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.
His mother's education to him since childhood was to endure humiliation.
Indeed.
They endured tremendous humiliation and shouldered immense missions. They needed to forge ahead.
So from childhood to adulthood, he could really endure anything.
Enduring verbal abuse.
Enduring the one he loved not loving him back.
Once, he was ridiculed by some young masters from upper society again.
Xia Qiqi happened to overhear it.
She actually spoke up for him.
She said, "Xiao Nanchen is my brother. Whoever scolds Xiao Nanchen is scolding me. If anyone dares to scold me, I'll tell my dad about it and tell your dads about it too, so they beat you guys to death!"
After all, Xia Qiqi was still the little miss of one of the four great families.
She was quite ruthless and didn't follow the rules. But in the end her status was still there, and many people had to give her face.
So after that, there were much fewer people who scolded him behind his back.
It was only after then that his feelings for Xia Qiqi became clearer and clearer.
It was just that even though Xia Qiqi helped him out, she really did not like him and detested him very much.
When they were in high school, at the time when he thought Xia Qiqi's feelings for him had changed a little...
Xia Qiqi got together with Nie Ziming.
He would probably never forget the scene he saw after he spent an entire night writing Xia Qiqi a love letter, then after he worked up the courage for a month to give her that love letter. He saw Xia Qiqi walking past him hand in hand with Nie Ziming.
She walked right past him without even glancing at him.
If she had given him a glance, maybe she would have noticed the redness of his eyes.
Maybe she would have noticed the pink love letter gripped tightly in his hand.
She just walked happily past with Nie Ziming.
As if walking past his whole world.
After that day, he tore up the love letter.
Then he calmly went on with his own life.
Calmly watched Xia Qiqi and Nie Ziming's relationship get better and better.
Calmly watched Xia Qiqi smile more and more in front of Nie Ziming.
When they graduated high school, he went abroad.
After enduring it for nearly three years, he decided to give his heart a break, so he chose to go far away.
He was gone for four years.
Over the four years, he didn't think of Xia Qiqi often, but not rarely either.
Sometimes he would call his mother. His mother would deliberately tell him that Xia Qiqi and Nie Ziming's relationship was still going well.
He knew his mother wasn't doing it to provoke him.
She just wanted to tell him that he and Xia Qiqi had no chance.
He would just listen quietly.
Silently listen every time.
Without any comment.
When he graduated from college, his mother asked him to come back.
She said he couldn't abandon his own mother for a woman.
In fact, in the fourth year abroad, his longing for Xia Qiqi had lessened greatly. The time he spent looking at her photos also decreased greatly. After all, at that time, he had started a software design, game development, internet company together with his classmates. He was very busy and would truly forget many things. On the day he finally decided to go back, Xia Qiqi's photos had already been completely sealed away in the cabinet.
He thought that perhaps he had truly gotten over Xia Qiqi, so he chose to return home.
The Xia Qiqi he met again after four years still harbored hostility towards him.
Maybe she hoped that he could stay abroad for his whole life.
He chose again to ignore Xia Qiqi's hostility. In his heart, he truly held an attitude of blessing towards Xia Qiqi and Nie Ziming's relationship.
When he learned that Xia Qiqi desperately wanted to marry Nie Ziming but Nie Ziming was still hesitating, he deliberately said in front of Nie Ziming that he wanted to win Xia Qiqi back. This was to prompt Nie Ziming to marry Xia Qiqi sooner. He really didn't think about breaking them up at the time. If it weren't for some things he discovered...
Xiao Nanchen's eyes stayed fixed on Xia Qiqi's face.
He really wanted to ask Xia Qiqi,
Why did you leave after obviously being moved by me at first?
If I had confessed to you earlier, would you have agreed?
Would the events afterward where you fell in love with Nie Ziming not have happened?
Xiao Nanchen's face drew closer to Xia Qiqi's.
He said, people always take liberties bit by bit.
He thought, he wanted to kiss her.
He slightly parted his lips and moved closer to her mouth...
"Ziming," Xia Qiqi mumbled a name softly from her mouth.
All of Xiao Nanchen's actions froze stiffly right there.
"Ziming, don't go..." Xia Qiqi's blurred voice somehow clearly reached his ears.
Xiao Nanchen moved back from Xia Qiqi's lips.
Moved away from Xia Qiqi.
Moved off her bed.
He thought,
Even if he had confessed early on,
The final result would still be the same.
Xia Qiqi would still fall in love with Nie Ziming in the end.
To him, it was really just innocent ignorance in their youth, just a yearning for beautiful things.
Not the feeling of being moved that he thought was there.
The only person who was ever actually emotionally moved was him alone.
He closed Xia Qiqi's room door.
Nuannuan said, you have to take the initiative more.
But taking initiative alone was really not easy.

The next day,
Xia Qiqi opened her eyes with a splitting headache.
She stared at the ceiling, her mind still rather muddled. It was as if she didn't even know where she was. It took her quite some time to get her bearings.
She forced herself to sit up.
Her mouth was dry and her tongue felt rough.
The after effects of drinking were all too obvious.
It's just she hadn't had it this bad before.
Last night,
She seemed to not have drank that much.
How on earth did she end up in such bad shape?
She couldn't even remember how she got back, how she ended up lying in bed, and how she...
She looked down at herself, seeing she had changed into sleepwear.
Damn.
Who changed her clothes?!
Was it Yueling or...Xiao Nanchen?
It wouldn't be Xiao Nanchen.
A man like Xiao Nanchen also wouldn't take initiative with her. She didn't need to worry at all.
