Nan Zhe was silent for a while after hearing Qi Yanâs words. Under her careful and probing gaze, he finally moved.
âGot it.â
There were only these two words that came out of nowhere.
Qi Yan frowned. âHuh?â
âAt least you have some conscienceâ¦â He picked up his chopsticks again and picked up the food casually. âI thought that after so many years, you had never thought of coming back or looking for me.â
âHow is that possible?â Qi Yan smiled. âIn the years Iâve been studying in the north, Iâve never made a friend like Brother Nan.â
âI often think of the days when I was fooling around with you.â âI still do. I always dream about the two years I met you.â
âA friend like me?â Nan Zhe suddenly smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Qi Yan supported her face with one hand and looked at him as she continued.
âYes. Speaking of which, youâre my only good friend in all these years.â
âAlthough we havenât been in contact for nearly ten years, I still feel very close to you when we meet again. Thereâs no estrangement at all, donât you think?â
Ever since the two of them met again, everything had been extremely natural. Neither of them was embarrassed. It did not look like they had been separated for many years.
âReally, Brother Nan, Iâm not lying to you. Even if we didnât meet on the blind date, Iâll definitely take the initiative to look for you in the future.â
âDonât you have an entertainment company? My current job is involved with the entertainment industry anyway. Weâre in the same circle, so weâll meet sooner or later.â
âAlright, letâs eat.â Nan Zhe slowly exhaled. As expected, he was still not used to such a serious atmosphere.
He felt that if they continued chatting, the topic would become heavier.
This was not his intention.
He changed the topic at the right time. Qi Yan did not think too much about it and continued chatting.
Meanwhile, at Huai City University.
The car stopped steadily 200 meters away from Huai Universityâs dormitory. The driver, Gao, turned around and looked at the backseat. Just as he was about to speak, the man stopped him with a hand gesture.
Gao did not dare to look around. He nodded and got out of the car.
He closed the car door as gently as possible, afraid that he would disturb the people in the car.
In the backseat, Nan Ge was sleeping soundly.
During the day, he took her out to look around. Perhaps because she was too excited and exhausted during the day, she fell asleep not long after leaving the airport.
At that time, the two of them were chatting casually. Unexpectedly, as they chatted, she stopped talking.
At that time, he was chatting with Assistant Yuan on WeChat about work tomorrow. When he realized that there was no sound beside him, he felt a little strange and thought that his texting had made her unhappy.
In the end, he tilted his head and looked over. He saw Nan Ge leaning there with a little doll she had bought during the day in her arms. She had already fallen asleep.
An hour passed. Seeing that the dormitory was about to close, Shen Yanqing wanted to wake her up.
âNan Ge, Nan Ge?â He leaned forward and reached out to touch her shoulder gently. His tone was as gentle as water. âWeâre already at school. Can you go back to the dormitory to sleep?â
âUghâ¦
Nan Ge frowned. She was a little annoyed by the noise. She raised her hand and slapped his hand away. She hugged the doll and turned around to continue sleeping.
âNanâ¦â Shen Yanqing wanted to call her, but on second thought, Nan Geâs dormitory had not been cleaned up, and he was not sure if her other roommates had returned.
If she was alone, she would have to tidy up for a long time before she could go to bed.
She was so sleepy now and had no energy at all.
With this thought in mind, Shen Yanqing silently retracted his hand.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds. He took out his phone and sent a message to Nan Zhe. He explained the current situation and finally suggested: [Can she stay at my place tonight? I have an empty room.]
Not long after, he received a reply from Nan Zhe. There were no words, only a string of dry ellipses.
[Sheâs sleeping soundly now. The dormitory probably hasnât been cleaned up yet.]
[Got it.] Soon, Nan Zhe replied: [Donât touch her. If I find out, youâre dead.] It seemed like he had agreed.
Gao jogged to catch up with the man in front of him and went forward to help press the elevator button.
The man carried the sleeping girl into the elevator and turned to him. âItâs getting late. You should get off work too. Be careful on the way.â
Hearing this, Gao stopped following.
As the door opened, the light at the entrance automatically lit up and extended all the way to the living room.
Shen Yanqing turned around and gently closed the door with his foot.
Before he could change his shoes, he carried Nan Ge to the bedroom.
The moment Nan Ge was placed on the bed, she frowned.
Shen Yanqing knelt on one knee by the bed and leaned over. He pulled the blanket beside him and covered her. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Nan
Ge slowly open her eyes.
The manâs body stiffened and he did not dare to move.
A few seconds later, sensing that she did not seem to have woken up, Shen Yanqing tentatively reached out and pulled her into his arms. He gently patted her back. âGo to sleep. Iâm here.â
The little girlâs eyelashes fluttered. After a while, she obediently closed her eyes and hugged her little doll to sleep again.
15 minutes later, after confirming that the person in his arms was asleep, Shen Yanqing moved his stiff body and slowly got out of bed.
Worried that Nan Ge would wake up at night, he especially left a table lamp on and adjusted it to a dim warm yellow color. He also placed her phone where she could reach out and touch it.
That was not all. A few minutes later, he brought in another cup of hot water from outside and placed it on the bedside table, worried that she would be thirsty at night.
After settling everything, he quietly left the bedroom and returned to the living room to rest.
Almost as soon as she sat down and before she could catch her breath, Nan Zhe called.
âItâs me, Shen Yanqing.â
âWhy didnât you pick up my call just now? Donât tell me you did something bad!â As soon as the call was picked up, Nan Zheâs sinister voice came out. He was obviously here to check on her.
Shen Yanqing did not feel annoyed. He understood his feelings at this moment very well, so he explained patiently, âI boiled a cup of hot water for Nan Ge just now. My phone is in the living room. I didnât hear it. Iâm sorry.â
âIs she asleep?â
âUh huh.â
Nan Zhe nodded. âAlright, take good care of her. Iâll pick her up tomorrow morning. â
âTomorrow morning?â Shen Yanqing was stunned. âYouâre coming to Huai City tomorrow morning? If youâre here just to send Nan Ge back to school, you donât have to specially come over. Iâll send her there.â
âNo.â Nan Zhe sat in the car and looked at the brightly lit floor outside. âIâm downstairs at your house now.â
Shen Yanqing,
âAre you going to bring Nan Ge back now?â
âDidnât I say tomorrow morning? As expected, youâre old and your memory isnât good. â
âThen why did you especially come over now? Did you want to talk to me?â âWhy are you so narcissistic? Who wants to talk to you? Iâm going home to sleep. Didnât Nan Ge tell you? I live next door to you..â
