82 Why Are You So Excited?
This was probably the most torturous movie Shen Yanqing had ever seen.
He did not care about the content of the movie. He only knew that the young lady beside him did not give him any peace.
He gripped her hand hard, trying to distract her. “Let’s watch the movie first, okay?”
“Oh, alright.”
!!
Nan Ge also felt that he was a little strange now.
In the past, Shen Yanqing had always responded to everything she said. This was the first time he had avoided her like this.
The little girl was already very curious. The more he did not answer, the more Nan Ge took it to heart.
However, she did have to watch the movie properly first. She would torture him to extract a confession after it was over!
The background of this movie happened on a high school campus. Nan Ge was completely immersed in it, and she was quickly attracted by the plot and gradually kept looking at the screen.
Shen Yanqing also took the time to heave a sigh of relief.
He did not know if it was because the temperature of the air conditioner was too high, but he realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
He picked up the fruit juice beside him and took two sips, trying to calm himself down.
After drinking it, he remembered that he took Nan Ge’s cup again. His mood seemed to have suddenly fallen from one peak of the roller coaster, and he was quickly thrown to another.
It rose and fell and could not calm down at all.
Was this the legendary… indirect kiss?
For a moment, Shen Yanqing stared at the fruit juice in his hand and fell into deep thought.
People said that when two people were together, they would subconsciously imitate each other. Some people could find each other’s shadows through some habitual thinking.
Reality proved that it was true.
For example, the current President Shen resembled Nan Ge with an incredibly imaginative mind. His brain was like a landslide, and he could not find the fulcrum to stop.
——
Halfway through the movie, Nan Zhe checked on Nan Ge.
There was a steady stream of messages on her phone. Nan Ge did not even look at it and knew that it must be Nan Zhe.
She was so annoyed that she could only take out her phone.
Seeing that she wanted to check her phone, Shen Yanqing let go of her hand.
Nan Ge turned the brightness of her phone screen to the darkest and scrolled through the messages from Nan Zhe.
Ugly People Always Make Trouble: [What are you doing?]
[Where are you?]
[Where have you and that stupid Yu Yu gone?]
Yu Yu was Yu’s full name.
Nan Ge took a deep breath and answered accordingly as she had agreed with Yu ahead of time.
Then, she added: [Shouldn’t you focus on your blind date and stay out of my business?]
[How’s the progress?]
Nan Zhe did not reply for a long time.
Just as Nan Ge thought that he was about to stop, she saw a certain someone calling her on the phone.
Nan Ge’s eyes widened and she subconsciously hung up.
Shen Yanqing saw her actions. “Do you want to answer the phone?”
“Hmmm?” Nan Ge pondered. While she was hesitating, Nan Zhe called a few seconds later.
Was he crazy?!
Nan Ge complained as she got up and said to Shen Yanqing, “I’m going out to take a call. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.” It was not convenient for Shen Yanqing to follow her when she picked up the phone.
He retracted his long legs and used his phone to help her light up the path so that she could walk out more easily.
He reminded her worriedly, “There are steps at the door when you go down. Don’t miss your step.”
The lights in the theater flickered and it was easy to fall.
“Uh huh. Got it.” Nan Ge covered her phone and bent down to escape.
After leaving the theater, the bright light in the corridor made Nan Ge frown uncomfortably.
She walked to a quiet corner and answered the call.
“Why did you hang up on me just now?!” As soon as the call went through, Nan Zhe’s resentful voice rang out.
Nan Ge rolled her eyes silently.
If the conditions allowed it, not only did she want to hang up, but she also wanted to blacklist him.
“I was inside just now and it was a little noisy. I wanted to call you back when I came out.” She started to spout nonsense without blushing. “Brother, what’s the matter?”
“Shouldn’t you be on a date at this time? Why are you still calling me?”
On the other side, in Jiang City.
Nan Zhe sat alone in the restaurant. He held the phone to his ear with one hand and played with the lighter with the other.
The metal lid opened and closed, making a soft sound.
...
Blue flames jumped and then disappeared.
This went on and on.
It was abnormally quiet on his end, and he did not reply. Only then did Nan Ge put away her playfulness and become serious. “Brother… are you alright?”
She asked carefully.
“I’m fine.” Nan Zhe’s tone was normal.
Nan Ge was a little confused. Why did he call her for no reason?
From his tone, he did not seem to have realized that she was out on a date with Shen Yanqing.
According to her brother’s temper, if he really found out, he would definitely rush over immediately. The first thing he would do was to call her right away and mercilessly scold her.
Therefore, it was abnormal.
It was very abnormal.
“Did your blind date not go well?” Nan Ge guessed boldly.
...
Logically speaking, her brother should still be eating with his blind date at this time. Or had he just finished eating and was watching a movie or shopping like her?
It couldn’t possibly be over, right?
“It went well.” Nan Zhe took the cigarette from his mouth and casually flicked it. The ashes fell and dirtied the white tablecloth.
He did not care at all. He leaned back in his chair lazily. “How could your brother’s blind date not go smoothly? When the other party sees me, not to mention her personally, even her ancestors will climb out of their coffins excitedly and raise their hands and feet in approval of this marriage.”
“…” Nan Ge subconsciously glanced up and thought carefully about her brother’s description.
Hmmm? Why was the scene so strange?
It looked like a horror movie.
“Is your blind date over now? Have you gone home?”
That did not sound right. She had agreed with her parents that if her brother went home, they would send her a message immediately.
However, she did not receive one.
“No.”
Nan Ge probed, “Oh, then continue dating. I’ll go back then.”
“No.”
“…”
“What are you doing?”
“Send me the address. This place is new, right? I’ve never been there before. I can hang out with you guys for a while.”
“???” Nan Ge took a deep breath but it was stuck in her throat.
“Hello?” Nan Zhe thought the signal was bad since he could not hear her voice.
“Wait, Brother… Where’s the girl?”
“Why do you ask?”
“You have to send her back first, right?”
“Oh,” Nan Zhe said casually and finally told the truth. “Unfortunately, she didn’t come.”
Nan Ge’s eyes lit up, and she gloated. “What? Were you stood up?!”
“Why are you so excited?”
“No, no.” Nan Ge quickly realized that it was inappropriate for her to be happy about such things. “Then did the other party have an emergency? Or did she do it on purpose?”
“She said that she was busy with work and had to take photos of some celebrity at the last minute.”
“Where is she then? If it’s not far, you can look for her! There’s still time to arrange another date!”
“Where?” Nan Zhe recalled. “I think it’s Huai City.”
Nan Ge, “…”
