Yuan Chi drove steadily. Nan Ge noticed him as soon as he got out of the car.

“Brother Yuan Chi!” She quickly waved at him.

Yuan Chi stepped forward and knocked her head with his finger. “Kid, did your brother drink with you tonight?”

“No, no.” Nan Ge waved her hand. “He drank it himself. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. ”

She did not dare to say the second half of the sentence too loudly.

Looking at Nan Zhe, who had his head lowered and was silent in front of the car, Yuan Chi could not help but take a step back. He returned to Nan Gel s side and tilted his head to ask softly, “What’s wrong with your brother today?”

Nan Ge shrugged. “I don’t know either. I just don’t understand.”

She was still in a daze.

“Alright. Shall I send you back to school first?”

Nan Ge turned around and pointed at Shen Yanqing, who had come back from the restaurant to get her things. “Shen Yanqing will give me a ride.”

“President Shen.” Seeing Shen Yanqing, Yuan Chi was still very polite. Shen

Yanjing smiled and reached out to shake his hand. “Hello.”

“Alright, I’ll go back with your brother first.”

“Okay.” Nan Ge nodded. “Thank you, Brother Yuan Chi.”

The latter supported Nan Zhe and left first.

After getting into the car, Nan Ge finally had the chance to ask the questions that she had been waiting for.

“What’s wrong with my brother? What did you guys talk about? You actually made him dispirited.”

Shen Yanqing looked ahead and drove seriously.

Hearing this, he thought for a moment before saying, “Actually, I didn’t say anything. Basically, he sat there and talked to himself. He just kept drinking and talking repeatedly.”

“Then what did he say?”

“It’s a little incoherent. It’s mostly about ‘love’. I think… he might have fallen out of love.”

Shen Yanqing came to a conclusion.

Nan Zhe sat in the front passenger seat and felt a little hot. He straightened his body and lowered the window slightly.

A gust of wind blew in. Yuan Chi tilted his head and took a look. He realized that his eyes were clear and did not look drunk.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Usually, they could not get Nan Zhe drunk. No matter how crazy the drinking got, Nan Zhe was fine.

At most, during festive seasons, they would hear that Nan Zhe would get drunk when he was drinking with his elders at home. However, it was basically strong alcohol, so it was normal for him to get drunk.

“What happened tonight?” Yuan Chi felt that he seemed to have a lot on his mind.

Nan Zhe did not say anything.

Yuan Chi drove silently. There was a red light in front of him. He slowly stopped the car and turned around to ask, “Brother Nan, we’re friends. If you have anything to say, just say it. It’s fine if you’re embarrassed to talk to

Youyou, but you have to talk to me. Why hold it in? That’s so uncomfortable.”

“We’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t we talk about everything?”

“Why are you still keeping secrets from your brother? Is work not going well

for you? That can’t be it, right? What is it? It can’t possibly be a relationship problem, right?”

“Why? Did your mother rush you again? Sigh, you don’t have to be anxious. She’s just saying it. You’re so outstanding. You don’t need to worry about not being able to find a wife. She knows this too. At most, she’ll scold you verbally, but I’m sure that’s not what she thinks.”

“If you’re really lonely, how about I introduce you to someone? Sigh, it’s been so many years, but I haven’t asked you what kind of person you like.”

“Oh right, I remember you and that person last time! Hmmm, Qi Yan, right? It’s been so many years since we last met. Qi Yan has changed drastically. I think she’s quite beautiful. Do you like her?”

As soon as Yuan Chi finished speaking, Nan Zhe’s gaze landed on him.

Their eyes met. Looking at his gaze, Yuan Chi suddenly laughed. “You always asked me about her before. The last time I saw you guys eating together, I felt that there was a chance.”

“If you like her, so be it. It’s not a big deal. Do you want me to help you? I’ll help you sound her out at the next gathering. How about that?”

“No, thanks.’

Yuan Chi’s one-man show finally ended.

He sensed that Nan Zhe had something else to say, so he did not rush him. He listened attentively as he drove.

“I’ve already sounded her out.”

“What happened in the end? Is there a chance?!” Yuan Chi felt that the two of them were not very compatible, but they were also suitable.

Nan Zhe was typically harsh on the outside, but warm inside. Qi Yan was straightforward but not good with words. Logically speaking, the two of them were exactly the same. However, when they were together, they would still accommodate each other.

It was the same when he was in school.

Therefore, in his opinion, if the two of them were together, it could be considered as getting rid of evil for the people.

“No, I was rejected.”

Nan Zhe’s voice was light as if he was just saying it casually, but Yuan Chi was so shocked that he almost stepped on the brakes accidentally.

“Surely not?”

Yuan Chi frowned. “You confessed to her? When? Today?”

“She has her own set of criteria for choosing a partner. I don’t meet any of them.”

“But you have to ask before you know. Are you going to give up just because of her requirements? Brother Nan, this is not like you.” “Yeah, so I did. I asked her to consider me.”

“How… did she reply?”

Nan Zhe shrugged. “She did not consider me. Didn’t I tell you that I was rejected?”

Yuan Chi took a deep breath. This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult problem.

If it was anyone else who encountered relationship problems, he could give them some pointers. However, since Nan Zhe was rejected, he felt a little helpless.

In his memory, this should be the first time Nan Zhe took the initiative to ask, and was also the first time he was rejected.

“Gasp, didn’t she say anything else?”

“Anything else?” Nan Zhe narrowed his black eyes and carefully recalled— “Qi Yan, do you want to consider me?”

Qi Yan was stunned by her random words.

“What?”

“I said, if you’re going to find a boyfriend, do you want to consider me?” “Brother Nan, are you joking? Erm, Brother Nan, we’re not suitable, right?

Hahahaha…”

Qi Yan smiled dryly. When she did not hear his response, she slowly realized that he was serious and her voice slowly stopped.

After a long time, her voice sounded again. “The two of us are more suitable to be friends. I don’t think it’s a good idea for that to change. I…” “Brother Nan.” She sighed. “Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Don’t make things difficult for me.

These words were really lethal.

As long as he was rejected directly, Nan Zhe would not feel so uncomfortable.

However, her last sentence really pierced his heart.

After hearing Nan Zhe’s words, Yuan Chi fell completely silent.

He was Nan Zhe’s childhood friend. The two of them had grown up together. He knew very well how proud Nan Zhe was.

Qi Yan’s words completely stepped on Nan Zhe’s pride.

“Brother, don’t take it to heart. You know Qi Yan. She’s straightforward. She… doesn’t think before she speaks. Don’t you know best?”

Yuan Chi pursed his lips. After saying that, he also felt that it was bullshit, so he struggled for a second. “Why don’t we drink somewhere? So be it if she doesn’t like you. As the saying goes, the next one will be better..”
