Life seems to have returned calm. It's too peaceful... almost like a pool of stagnant water.
Knowing that Nina has completely broken with Lucien, Sunny is very cheerful, "Nina! Great! Both of you are too stubborn. If you are in a relationship, you will hurt each other. It's better to separate. Or I'll arrange for you to meet Harlan tomorrow?"
Nina curls up in the sofa with a bleak expression and looks at the scindapsus aureus on the windowsill dully, "No, no. I've lost interest in men now."
Sunny shouts exaggeratively, "You what? Are you gonna be a lesbian? Let me tell you something. Don't fall in love with me! Otherwise you will only get endless pain! I love men!"
Nina is amused by her and gives her a scornful look, "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive even if you get naked your clothes and stand in front of me."
"Whoa, whoa! Nina, you are so pornographic! The whole brain is full of filthy thoughts! Tut, it must be Lucien that has made you this way!" Sunny seems frightened.
Lucien... Nina's eyes darkens for a moment, and she quickly changes the topic, "You are going to have a wedding next week. Is everything ready?"
Sunny nods, "Everything is ready. The only thing to worry about is that the groomsmen and the bridesmaids won't show up."
Sunny has invited four bridesmaids. Nina and Jasmine are both one of them.
Lucien is one of the groomsmen.
Nina grabs the rabbit's ear on the sofa cushion and lowers her head speechlessly.
Sunny becomes worried, "Hello! You don't really miss the appoinment, do you? You are really like Lucien. Both of you are short-tempered and always fail to keep the promise!"
"Lucien is not the groomsman?" Nina gets relieved and asks quickly.
"Um. Yesterday, Lucien called Jarvis to say that he is going on a business trip next week and he will not even attend the wedding. Hum, what kind of friend is he, who doesn't work at the critical moment. I'm ready to instigate Jarvis to break off his friendship with Lucien." Sunny is indignant.
"Then I will keep my word, so you don't have to find another bridesmaid." Nina can't tell what she feels in her heart.
Want to see him? Don't want to see him? She can't answer either of the two questions.
After the quarrel in the hotel, he really did what he said and never appeared in front of her again.
Countless times, her heart pounded when she heard the phone ringing, and she hurriedly picked up the phone to look at the screen. However, the head portrait of the caller shown on the phone was not him every time...
He really vanishes, and completely disappears from her life.
After Sunny leaves, Nina watches TV for a while alone. When she turns it off, she doesn't even remember what she saw just now. Nina is a little hungry, so she cooks noodles alone. When Nina is sitting at a small table and eating the hot noodles, she suddenly remembers that it was the same night when Lucien sat opposite her and gave her the fried eggs in his bowl, "Eat more! You're so skinny that I'm ashamed to take you out!"
The fried golden eggs give out the same fragrance in the air. However, there is no that person on the opposite side, who tries his best to stuff her bowl to let her eat more and fatten up.
Her heart is so blocked that she has no desire to eat any more. Nina takes up the bowl and is about to pour out the noodles. The mobile phone on the sofa rings suddenly.
It's more than 11 o'clock. Now Sunny has to nourish the fetus and goes to bed at 10 o'clock every night. Who will call her late at night?
Nina is very excited, nervous and scared. She rushes to the sofa but hesitates to look at the screen.
If it is another empty joy, she really can not stand it alone in such a lonely night.
The cell phone is still ringing. Nina reaches out her trembling hand to pick up the mobile phone and sees a name -- Lucien.
His head portrait is smiling at her, with tall nose, thin lips, and that always pride and domineering eyes.
Her heart is immediately filled with great joy. Nina sniffs, presses the sour and astringent feeling in her nose, and says softly, "Hello?"
"Aunt Nina, Nelson misses you so much! Why don't you come to see Nelson so long? Don't you like Nelson anymore..."
At the other end of the phone, Nelson's tender voice is a little aggrieved.
Nina is pleasantly surprised. Unexpectedly, it's Nelson who calls her!
Her tears suddenly burst out, "Baby, darling, auntie... auntie is very busy recently, so I don't have time to see you. It's not that I doesn't like you. Nelson is so lovely and cute. I like you so much!"
Nina is very stubborn. She can't ever say such sweet words, but she can't help but blurt out without any discomfort in the face of Nelson.
"Aunt Nina, are you crying? It's a coincidence that my father also cried today." Nelson says like a little man.
Lucien cried? Nina can't help asking, "Your father cried? Why? Did he lose the competition with Nelson for candy?"
Nelson is amused by Nina, and then reluctantly denies, "No! My father drinks every day recently. He was drunk yesterday and cried. By the way, aunt Nina, when aunt Jasmine wiped his face, my father also called your name. Aunt Jasmine was so angry and stared at me all the time. It was very terrible!"
Jasmine stared at Nelson? Her heart aches for Nelson, and she comforts the kiddy, "Baby, the reason why aunt Jasmine stared at you was because she's in a bad mood, not because she doesn't like you. Nelson is so lovely, who won't like you?"
Nelson nods, "Aunt Nina, where do you live? I'm coming to play with you."
Is the kiddy coming to play with her? Nina suddenly turns very happy, and then she asks nervously, "Uh... does your father know? Does your father ask you to call me?"
"No! My father is drunk again. I miss you very much, so I call you on his cell phone."
After Nelson finishes talking, Nina is about to speak when the voice of Jasmine comes from the other end of the phone suddenly, "Nelson, who are you calling? Didn't I tell you not to touch your dad's cell phone? Why don't you listen to me?"
The voice is harsh and cold.
Nina holds the phone tightly, and she is heartbroken. Jasmine's blame for Nelson makes her very uncomfortable. Is it necessary to be so strict with a five-year-old child?
"Aunt Jasmine!" Nina only hears this sentence, and the phone is mercilessly hung up.
A quiet busy tone on the phone, like an invisible big hand, rubs her heart hardly to make her severely sad.
