Chapter 117 - 117: Bring Her Home
Nan Zhe was silent for a while after hearing Qi Yan’s words. Under her careful and probing gaze, he finally moved.
“Got it.’
There were only these two words that came out of nowhere.
Qi Yan frowned. “Huh?”
“At least you have some conscience…” He picked up his chopsticks again and picked up the food casually. “I thought that after so many years, you had never thought of coming back or looking for me.”
“How is that possible?” Qi Yan smiled. “In the years I’ve been studying in the north, I’ve never made a friend like Brother Nan.”
“I often think of the days when I was fooling around with you.” “I still do. I always dream about the two years I met you.”
“A friend like me?” Nan Zhe suddenly smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Qi Yan supported her face with one hand and looked at him as she continued.
“Yes. Speaking of which, you’re my only good friend in all these years.”
“Although we haven’t been in contact for nearly ten years, I still feel very close to you when we meet again. There’s no estrangement at all, don’t you think?”
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.
“Really, Brother Nan, I’m not lying to you. Even if we didn’t meet on the blind date, I’ll definitely take the initiative to look for you in the future.”
“Don’t you have an entertainment company? My current job is involved with the entertainment industry anyway. We’re in the same circle, so we’ll meet sooner or later.”
“Alright, let’s eat.” 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 University’s 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.
“Nan Ge, Nan Ge?” He leaned forward and reached out to touch her shoulder gently. His tone was as gentle as water. “We’re already at school. Can you go back to the dormitory to sleep?”
“Ugh…
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.
“Nan…” Shen Yanqing wanted to call her, but on second thought, Nan Ge’s 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.
[She’s sleeping soundly now. The dormitory probably hasn’t been cleaned up yet.]
[Got it.] Soon, Nan Zhe replied: [Don’t touch her. If I find out, you’re 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. “It’s getting late. You should get off work too. Be careful on the way.”
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 man’s 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. “Go to sleep. I’m here.”
The little girl’s 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.
“It’s me, Shen Yanqing.”
“Why didn’t you pick up my call just now? Don’t tell me you did something bad!” As soon as the call was picked up, Nan Zhe’s 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, “I boiled a cup of hot water for Nan Ge just now. My phone is in the living room. I didn’t hear it. I’m sorry.”
“Is she asleep?”
“Uh huh.”
Nan Zhe nodded. “Alright, take good care of her. I’ll pick her up tomorrow morning. ”
“Tomorrow morning?” Shen Yanqing was stunned. ‘You’re coming to Huai City tomorrow morning? If you’re here just to send Nan Ge back to school, you don’t have to specially come over. I’ll send her there.”
“No.” Nan Zhe sat in the car and looked at the brightly lit floor outside. “I’m downstairs at your house now.”
Shen Yanqing,
“Are you going to bring Nan Ge back now?”
“Didn’t I say tomorrow morning? As expected, you’re old and your memory isn’t good. ”
“Then why did you especially come over now? Did you want to talk to me?” “Why are you so narcissistic? Who wants to talk to you? I’m going home to sleep. Didn’t Nan Ge tell you? I live next door to you..”
