66 Blind Date
Shen Yanqing was still driving and his phone was beside him.
However, after hearing the notification, he looked at the notification as if he had a premonition.
It was indeed Nan Ge.
With his free hand, he unlocked and turned on his phone.
!!
A link to an article entered his line of sight. He thought Nan Ge had shared something fun.
The young lady usually posted strange things on her WeChat Moments, such as popular buzzwords.
Perhaps there was really a generation gap. Sometimes, he really could not get what she was talking about. He had to ask others to understand.
However, the title of this article…
“How Do Get a Man in Three Moves…” After reading it, he was stunned. Before Nan Ge could recall it, he clicked into the article and roughly glanced at it.
It did not only have a clickbait title but the content was also written quite seriously.
However, why did Nan Ge send this to him?
He stopped reading the article and wanted to ask her.
In the end, she quickly recalled the message.
He texted: [I saw it.]
[…] When Nan Ge saw his message, she hit her head on the pillow.
Don’t stop her. Just let her die!
Shen: [Hmmm?]
Shen Yanqing did not want to let her off so easily, so he kept sending her text messages.
Listening to the notification in her ear, Nan Ge was so embarrassed that she could not breathe.
After a long time, she knew that running away was useless. She had to face it eventually.
[I sent the wrong message. Just pretend that you didn’t see it.]
After sending it, she added a kneeling and begging emoji. [*Please.jpg*]
[Okay.] Shen Yanqing agreed readily.
Nan Ge finally had a chance to catch her breath.
Shen: [But I have another question.]
[You just have to answer yes or no.]
[Ask away.] Nan Ge held her phone and stared at his message silently, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Shen: [The man it’s talking about. Are you referring to me?]
Nan Ge was stunned.
Talking about? What man?
Wait… was he talking about the article?
[Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. I mean, am I the man you want to take down?]
[…] It would have been fine if he did not explain, but once he did, Nan Ge was completely speechless.
Shen: [It’s okay. You can answer me tomorrow, but you must give me an answer.]
[Because this answer is very important to me.]
It was rare for him to have such a domineering side that blocked all her escape routes.
In the past, when he sensed Nan Ge’s embarrassment, he would definitely take the initiative to give her a way out. He would immediately change to a lighter topic to distract her.
But this time, it was really different.
This was the first time he had held onto her like this and refused to let go. He desperately wanted an answer.
——
After sending the message, Shen Yanqing planned to turn off his phone and focus on driving.
He was still an hour away from his destination.
He did not expect Nan Ge to give him an answer immediately.
The baby penguin was always slow, so he had to give her enough space to think.
Beep beep.
The message came in a hurry.
Baby Penguin: [Okay… It’s you.]
Looking at her answer, Shen Yanqing was slightly stunned before he retracted his gaze and continued driving.
However, in the next moment, his curled lips exposed his current mood.
Nan Ge seemed to keep teasing his already uneasy heart today.
Moreover, this seemed to be just an appetizer. The baby penguin’s surprise had just begun.
Baby Penguin: [Um, I want to ask, are you free next week?]
[I might want to ask you out to eat.]
[Is it convenient for you? If not, we can meet another day.]
...
[*I’m waiting.jpg*]
Yu had originally told Nan Ge a bunch of tips and all kinds of fancy invitations, but she did not use any of them.
Although Yu had asked her to ask Shen Yanqing out tonight, she did not want to ask him out now.
After all, such an awkward thing had just happened.
However, after answering his question, she could not help but ask directly.
Also, she asked candidly without any technique.
The waiting process was too torturous.
After the message was sent, Nan Ge was restless. She even got out of bed and paced back and forth in the room with her phone.
After a while, she asked anxiously: [Are you driving?]
Why didn’t he reply?
A few seconds after this message was sent, on the other end…
...
Shen: [Can I know the exact day you’re talking about?]
[Uh, on the 14th? I happen to be… in Huai City that day.]
After replying, Nan Ge covered her face and took a deep breath. It felt like she had committed a crime.
She actually lied!
She was not in Huai City that day. There was still some time before school started.
However, if she did not say that, she would not be able to ask him out.
Seeing that he did not reply for a long time, Nan Ge could not help but let her imagination run wild again.
He hadn’t replied after so long. Could it be that he didn’t know how to reject her?
Could it be that as Yu had mentioned, he had already been booked on the 14th?
No way? She didn’t stand the chance to get a queue number to spend Valentine’s with him even if she made an appointment a week in advance! Damn it!
Just as she was wondering if she should just let it go, a voice message popped up. She stopped in her tracks and clicked on the voice message. She placed the phone to her ear.
[Alright, send me the address on Valentine’s Day. I’ll pick you up.]
Valentine’s Day?
He deliberately said these three words. Was he… hinting at something?
Nan Ge let out a strange exclamation. She stood rooted to the ground as if she had encountered a very difficult Olympiad question and could not find the answer in a short period of time.
——
Before going to bed, Nan Ge especially slipped into Nan Zhe’s room.
After confirming that Nan Zhe was really sound asleep this time, she reached to take his phone.
Then, she unlocked it with ease and deleted the message Yu had sent him.
“Done!” Nan Ge put the phone back in its original position without anyone noticing.
The next morning, Nan Zhe slept until noon.
Seeing him get up, Nan Ge waved at him. “Good afternoon.”
“Hi.” Nan Zhe yawned. He walked past her and poured himself a glass of water.
Nan Ge turned around and rested her chin on the back of the chair. She smiled at him. “Brother, I have good news for you.”
“Did you win $5 million?”
“Not me.” She shook her head.
Nan Zhe finished the water. His head was still a little dizzy. “Oh, so did I win five million?”
“Not really.”
Nan Zhe put down the cup and pulled out a chair beside him to sit down. He said, “I just knew it. Five million can’t be considered good news. It’s not like I don’t have it.”
Nan Ge, “…”
“It has nothing to do with money.”
“Tsk. If it has nothing to do with money, what else can be considered good news?”
Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows at her. “Tell me about it.”
Nan Ge choked. She stopped beating around the bush and said directly, “Mom and Aunt arranged a blind date for you on the 14th.”
