Chapter 7

Five minutes later, on the ground floor of the apartment building.

Nan Ge looked at the scarf around her neck with the help of the electric scooter’s side-view mirror. It was L’s newest design.

Tsk. She hadn’t had time to buy it yet.

Great. She had tried it on in advance.

She usually drove when she went out, so she did not have the habit of wearing a scarf unless it was for decoration.

She would never have guessed that she had to ditch her Lamborghini today for a little electric scooter!

However, she did not want to accept it at first, but her rationality prevailed because it was really cold!

Humans should not only care about their reputation. Compromising would not kill anyone.

From the looks of it, Shen Yanqing was not a bad person.

At the very least, he was very caring. End of appraisal.

As soon as she left the wealthy district, the phone in Nan Ge’s pocket vibrated.

While waiting for the red light, she quickly turned on her phone.

A number one had popped up on the WeChat icon.

She buried her face in her scarf and exhaled deeply and clicked on the notification.

Shen: [I’m Shen Yanqing.]

They had just added each other on WeChat a few minutes ago.

She did not have the memory of a fish, so she would not forget who he was as soon as she left the neighborhood.

Including this scarf, she had already accepted things from him twice.

She gave him her phone number so that she could return the scarf to him tomorrow after she had washed it.

Shen Yanqing did not refuse. However, he did not give her a phone number, but a QR code.

She had genuinely wanted to get it delivered by courier to his office reception or the apartment.

In the end, the man just gave her his WeChat QR code.

——

Since customers were important above all else, Nan Ge replied with a smile emoji.

Shen: [I’m sorry, I haven’t asked for your name.]

Shen Yanqing introduced himself because he wanted to know Nan Ge’s name. However, Nan Ge’s brain worked in strange ways, so she did not understand what he meant.

He waited, then took the initiative to ask.

Nan Ge held her phone and subconsciously texted: [I’m your…]

No, she was not texting that idiotic Yu.

After a pause, she silently deleted the words in the dialog box and typed again: [Nan Ge. My name is Nan Ge.]

After replying, Nan Ge put away her phone and focused on delivering the next order.

At 10:30 pm, she returned to her dormitory.

Her roommates were still awake.

“Nan Ge, you’re finally back!” Su Hui climbed down from the top bunk. “Are you cold? Are you okay?”

Nan Ge stood in front of the door and forced a smile at her. “I can’t feel anything anymore. You almost had to attend my funeral!”

“Let me give you a hug!”

Nan Ge opened her arms and threw herself into her embrace. “Boohoo!”

The dormitory head, Cheng Xia, touched her face and felt sorry for her. “Quickly go take a hot shower so that you can warm up.”

“Okay!”

Nan Ge hurried into the bathroom in tears.

——

After turning off the lights, Nan Ge snuggled under the blanket to recover her energy. She opened WeChat and typed angrily: [Show your face immediately!]

A few minutes later, Nan Zhe made a voice call.

Afraid it would disturb her roommates while they rested, Nan Ge hung up and typed: [We’ve already turned off the lights!]

Before long, Ugly People Always Make Trouble could be seen composing a text message in the chat box.

After waiting quietly for a few seconds, her brother finally sent a message: [How was it? How was your first day?]

[Boohoo. Do you still have the cheek to ask?]

[Do you know how thick the snow is today? Do you know how cold the wind is?]

[Your poor sister was out delivering food in the middle of the night, while you were hiding in an air-conditioned room and enjoying the heater! Have you no conscience?]

Nan Zhe: [Huh? Was it snowing in the city? That shouldn’t be the case.]

Nan Ge was instantly distracted by the topic. As a child from the South, she typed excitedly: [Yes, it is. It’s going down earlier than the North this year!]

[Oh. Did you go out and make a snowman?]

[Yes, I did! I made one each at the entrance of your restaurant! Heehee.]

[*picture* *picture*]

Nan Zhe: [Not bad. Not bad at all. Very artistic. Other than Youyou, no one else can make them so well. *likes* *likes*]

[Heh heh. *kitten is spinning in circles.jpg*]

As soon as she sent the emoji, Nan Ge vaguely felt that something was wrong. She carefully flipped through the chat history of the two of them just now.

[Wait, are you trying to change the subject?]

Sure enough, her brother lived up to her expectations and replied: [Did you just find out?]

“…” Taking a deep breath, Nan Ge sat up and typed furiously on the keyboard. She sent her brother more than a dozen warm greetings.

[Were you found in a trash can?! Are you really my biological brother?!]

Ugly People Always Make Trouble: [What I’m saying is, is there a possibility that you were the one who was picked up from the trash can?]

Nan Ge, “…”

Before Nan Ge could flare up, Nan Zhe sent another message. [How about this? You just need to persevere until the end of the holidays and I will make up for the difference.]

[Don’t say that I’m not your biological brother. Even your biological father won’t do this for you.]

Nan Ge calculated seriously and decided to haggle: [Can I just do it for half a month?]

Nan Zhi looked at her and asked: [Then can you go without a new car?]

[Alright, alright. It’s a deal!] Nan Ge was afraid that he would go back on his word. [One month it is. We’ll start today!]

After exiting the chat with Nan Zhe, Nan Ge realized that Shen Yanqing had sent her a message.

An hour and a half ago: [It’s a nice name. I’ll remember it. In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer.]

An hour ago: [Be careful since it’s snowing.]

Ten minutes ago: [Have you returned to the dormitory?]

A minute ago: [Call me if you run into trouble.]

Judging from the frequency, he was probably worried that something would happen to her.

Nan Ge’s heart warmed. Compared to Shen Yanqing, her brother was inhuman!

[I’m already at school. I’m sorry. I just saw the text messages!]

The other party replied almost instantly. A white profile picture jumped out: [It’s good that you’re safe. It’s getting late. I won’t disturb your rest.]

[Good night.]

Before Nan Ge could send out the message, she deleted it again and replied: [Goodnight.]

That was the end of the conversation.

She flipped through their chat history. It was only one page. She realized that Shen Yanqing did not seem to be that annoying after all.

From the beginning to the end, he had a sense of propriety.

It had been like this since they first met. He seemed to know clearly that there should be a line between the two of them that could not be crossed.

After hesitating for a moment, Nan Ge returned to Nan Zhe’s dialog box. [Big Bro?]

[If you have something to report, go on. Otherwise, you’re dismissed.]

“Childish.” Nan Ge silently rolled her eyes and continued to ask: [Do you know Shen Yanqing?]

[I do. Why are you asking?]

[Nothing. He just came to our school a few days ago to give a lecture. He even became a guest professor in our school.]

[That’s normal. He graduated from Huai University.]

[Uh huh. Have you seen him in person before?]

[No.]

After a few seconds, Nan Zhe quickly corrected himself: [No. We met once two years ago, but I don’t know him well.]

Nan Ge asked expectantly: [I see. How is he?]

Before long, Nan Ge heard her brother’s evaluation of Shen Yanqing: [Nothing much.]

“…”

Nan Ge asked: [Are you sure you’ve seen him in person?]
