The second day had arrived in a flash.
"Are you certain Chu Nan will actually arrive?" Wang Sheng asked incredulously as he sat on the sofa.
"Of course!" Xia Zhi answered affirmatively and even nodded. However, after answering, she realized that something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes at Wang Sheng and said, "Grandpa, why does it seem like you're certain that Chu Nan won't come?"
Wang Sheng quickly denied it, "Of course not!"
Xia Zhi wasn't entirely convinced, but she tried not to dwell on it too much because she was suffering from a headache. "Grandpa, when you meet Chu Nan and see him as the good man he is, you must cooperate with me, do you understand?"
When Wang Sheng heard this, he said half-heartedly, "I know, I know."
The doorbell rang and Xia Zhi went to open the door.
As expected, it was Chu Nan.
At the same time, Chen Feng was standing behind Chu Nan. There were also a few men in suits. They were all carrying bags of various sizes in their hands.
Xia Zhi was shocked by the scene. "This is…"
"It's a gift for you and Grandpa," Chu Nan explained.
Xia Zhi did not know whether to be impressed by Chu Nan's initiative or how he was so easily calling Wang Sheng "Grandpa".
With such a strong showing, Xia Zhi couldn't just sit back and do nothing. She took a few steps forward and wheeled Chu Nan into the house. When she saw his face, she said softly, "You look much better."
Today, Chu Nan was still dressed in a black suit, but he looked much better than a few days ago. He was also releasing a less frigid demeanor.
Every time Chu Nan went to bed, he would keep replaying the event in his head, starting from the time the incident occurred two years prior. He had trouble falling and staying asleep on a regular basis, and the only thing that helped him was taking sleeping pills. However, he neer got to sleep for long. In addition to this, the fact that he wasn't getting enough rest contributed to his increasingly short fuse and irritable behavior.
It was also unusual for Chu Nan to be able to sleep normally over the past few days, and all of this was made possible by Xia Zhi.
"Yes, I feel like the prescription you gave me is really helping me get better. My insomnia has greatly improved since I took a bath with medicinal herbs. Before that, I never got a good night's sleep," Chu Nan said softly.
Chu Nan's gentle voice was like a deep cello as it gently caressed Xia Zhi's ear, causing her to yawn involuntarily. She mumbled, "That's good."
Although Xia Zhi tried to stifle her yawn, Chu Nan could still hear it. He recalled the dark bags beneath Xia Zhi's eyes when he saw her just now and asked in confusion, "Did you not sleep well these two days?"
"Yeah, I'm having insomnia," Xia Zhihui said.
When Chu Nan heard this, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did you try the prescription you gave me on yourself?"
Xia Zhi subconsciously shook her head. "I tried it before, but it did not work. Only the medicine that Master personally concocts would help. I've currently run out of supplies. That's why I didn't sleep well. But it's okay. I'll just endure it for a while longer. The new medicine will arrive soon."
Since Xia Zhi already knew what was going on, Chu Nan did not press her any further. However, he lowered his eyes to conceal his confusion.
Chu Nan had asked Chen Feng to investigate Xia Zhi, but he did not obtain much useful information. He only said that Xia Zhi often stayed at home in the countryside and did not go out. Two years ago, Wang Sheng suddenly fired all the servants, and he lived his life on his own.
However, two years ago…
His accident had also occurred two years ago. The timing was too coincidental. Chu Nan felt that the matter was more complicated than it seemed, so he continued to let Chen Feng investigate.
Sensing Xia Zhi's presence behind him, Chu Nan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Two years ago…"
Halfway through his sentence, he paused.
Chu Nan's voice was not loud, but Xia Zhi had heard him. She frowned and asked, "Two years ago?"
Chu Nan opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he only said, "It's nothing."
Upon hearing this, a possibility flashed across Xia Zhi's mind. She pursed her lips and asked, "Are you treating me as that old friend from two years ago again?"
Xia Zhi's voice turned cold. "I don't want you to help me because of that old friend of yours. I hope you can distinguish between us."
"No." Chu Nan denied.
Chu Nan was certain that the person back then was Xia Zhi.
