"You jumped into such a dangerous place without even thinking! Don't you value your life?!"
Cui Ming paced back and forth in the living room, while Jiang Nuo, wrapped in a plush pillow on the sofa, was drowsy and listening to the lecture with her head drooping.
"Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to your fans! At my age, I still have to worry about your life, kid. If it had made me all gray..."
Cui Ming was lecturing when he suddenly heard a sob.
He was shocked and felt completely flustered.
Who... who is crying!
Could it be Jiang Nuo?
" Jiang Nuo?"
He leaned closer to look, speaking with an unprecedented level of caution.
"Ah?"
Jiang Nuo looked up, her eyes blurry with tears.
Cui Ming: "..."
broken.
Did I accidentally make this kid stupid?
Over the years, I've seen this kid go from dull to smart, but I've never seen him cry!
"Why... why are you crying? Did I yell at you that badly?"
"I..."
Jiang Nuo touched her face, looking at the tears on her hand with confusion, "Why am I crying?"
He frowned blankly, sniffed, and gently touched his throat and chest, as if something was blocking his throat, and he could only release it through tears.
So this is what it feels like to cry.
This kind of... sadness, it seems, happened once before, a long time ago.
When the headmistress died.
Thinking of this, the tears welling up in her eyes flowed even more profusely, but Jiang Nuo still frowned in confusion, ran into the bathroom to look at herself in the mirror, and tilted her head slightly.
[0732]
[I am here.]
Is this an effect of Love Soul's return?
Yes, users can maintain a positive mood by being near happy people or things.
Jiang Nuo pulled out several tissues to wipe her tears, which startled Cui Ming, who was standing at the door watching. He thought he had really scolded her too harshly and wished he could go to the association right now to call Si Yan back to comfort her.
What should we do?
Cui Ming was extremely worried, pounding his fists into his palms. Why was his son scolding him for no reason after coming back from such a dangerous place?
" Brother Cui."
Jiang Nuo peeked out, her eyes reddening, and her voice trembling with sobs as she spoke.
"I'm craving crispy pork for lunch... hey."
Jiang Nuo had already stopped crying in the bathroom, but when she came out and saw Cui Ming's worried expression, she inexplicably started crying again, as if the tears would never stop.
His usually sarcastic and cheeky tone suddenly became pitiful.
"I'll make it! I'll make it for you! You... you stop crying, okay?"
Cui Ming was almost in tears. He tied his apron and pushed Jiang Nuo back into the living room, then turned on a movie starring Si Yan for him to watch.
Jiang Nuo was completely uncomfortable with herself like this, and to avoid embarrassment, she simply kept quiet.
The return of one soul and one spirit in the past always had some impact, but never this severe.
But what's jarring is that Jiang Nuo instinctively feels there's nothing to be sad about; she just can't control her emotional fluctuations and the bitterness in her heart.
It's as if you're consciously watching yourself feel sad and heartbroken, and after crying for a while, you realize it's all rather absurd.
Si Yan discovered this on the seventh day after returning from the small town.
It was almost midnight, and Si Yan still hadn't returned. As usual, Jiang Nuo chose one of his movies to watch.
This wasn't the first time I'd seen this movie, but the tragic ending was the first time it made Jiang Nuo... cry again.
Jiang Nuo watched as she wiped away her tears, a habit she had developed over time.
0732 tried to coax people, but its intelligent program didn't have this plugin, and the conversation was incredibly stiff after a few sentences.
Just then Si Yan finished filming and returned home. She had just entered the entrance hall and hadn't even had time to take off her coat when she heard sobbing coming from the living room.
He paused for a moment, quickly changed his shoes and walked in, where he met Jiang Nuo's tearful eyes.
Perhaps to enhance the movie atmosphere, only a floor lamp was turned on in the living room, creating a warm ambiance. However, the warm yellow light made Jiang Nuo appear even more lonely, and her eyes seemed more broken.
Si Yan was surprised and bewildered, and quickly walked over, saying, " Nuonuo."
He called softly, not understanding why Jiang Nuo had suddenly started crying.
"Ah...?"
Jiang Nuo looked up at him, her voice trembling with tears, as if she were pleading.
You're home really late today.
Very well, just that one sentence made Jiang Nuo's tears flow even more, and she reached out to him with a pout.
Si Yan sat down beside him and pulled him into her arms, but he still didn't react.
"I'm filming; I'll be back as soon as it's finished."
He explained gently, looking down at Jiang Nuo's reddened eyes, and brushing away her tears with his fingertips, "Why is Nuonuo crying?"
This was the first time Si Yan had seen Jiang Nuo cry after being together for so long, and it pained him deeply.
"... I don't know, it might be due to the influence of Love Soul."
Jiang Nuo realized that crying was also a very tiring thing. He took a deep breath, raised his hand to wrap around Si Yan's neck, and snuggled into her arms, his voice becoming more and more muffled.
"I'm so hungry from crying... How could you play such a tragic role?"
"It's my fault," Si Yan said, gently patting his shoulder. She quickly turned off the movie and switched to a lighter variety show.
"Shall I make you some noodles?"
"Not good."
Jiang Nuo didn't want to let go, and rubbed against his neck again, "Order takeout, I want fried chicken."
Si Yan: "..."
Well, even after all this, they still won't give up fried chicken.
"Okay, I'll order takeout."
He wrapped his arm around Jiang Nuo's waist and pulled her completely into his embrace, while holding the takeout order in one arm.
Jiang Nuo sighed, rubbing her cheek lightly, "If I had known that Love Soul's return would be like this, I wouldn't have wanted it."
His mood swings were so extreme that he seemed more like a madman.
"It's good if all three souls and seven spirits are present," Si Yan kissed his cheek, coaxing him gently in a low voice, "The fusion of souls and spirits needs an adaptation period, it'll be fine in a while."
"Okay, fine."
Jiang Nuo was obedient and closed her eyes to rest. She felt much better nestled in Si Yan's arms, and her sad emotions stopped piling up. It was as if she had found another more soothing way to vent.
It was just a casual chat with Si Yan.
When the fried chicken arrived, Jiang Nuo's cheerful mood returned. Wearing gloves, she wouldn't allow Si Yan to complain and nestled in his arms to eat it slowly.
"I don't want to see this."
Jiang Nuo moved her head and lightly nudged Si Yan's shoulder, "I want to see a movie you act in."
Si Yan deliberately selected a movie that he remembered had a happy ending before letting Jiang Nuo watch it with peace of mind.
After watching half of it and finishing her fried chicken, Jiang Nuo's emotions started to fluctuate again. She even took a shower and then ran back to Si Yan's arms in her pajamas to snuggle up.
Then he let out a long sigh and muttered, "This is not good at all, I'm very unhappy."
Si Yan lightly touched his cheek with her finger, her eyes burning, and her tone unconsciously softened, "Then let's go out and play tomorrow."
Jiang Nuo thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"I can't control my emotions at all right now. If I cry in public and my fans find out... ugh."
He patted his face and muttered, "That's so embarrassing."
After finally watching the movie, Jiang Nuo said she was going to rest, Si Yan carried her back to the bedroom.
With the double protection of a warm bed and Si Yan by her side, Jiang Nuo's emotions finally stabilized. She curled up in Si Yan's arms, hugging the blanket, and was kissed again and again by his waist. The lingering kisses were extremely comforting, and Jiang Nuo gradually fell asleep, her breathing becoming long and even.
Si Yan gently stroked the back of the person in his arms, his brows slightly furrowed.
Nuonuo's symptoms may be because she didn't have Love Soul before, so she didn't feel sadness or pain. However, a sudden emotional breakdown can be more harmful to the body.
We need to ask Grandpa if he has any ideas.
Goodnight, my wife.
He placed a kiss on Jiang Nuo's forehead, then held her and turned off the bedside lamp.
Jiang Nuo vaguely heard the sound and responded.
