Chapter 245: Auspicious Smoke Rising From the Graves of Our Ancestors
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since he returned from Shen City, Shen Yanqing had been carrying these red ropes with him.
Whenever he was free, he would look at the teaching video and braid them.
His progress was much slower than he had expected. It was mainly because he had been with Nan Ge during this period of time. It was quite difficult not to be discovered by her.
However, he only needed to wrap it up now. There was still time.
School started in three days.
The car stopped below the dormitory building.
Ever since everyone found out about their relationship, Nan Ge did not let Shen Yanqing continue to hide it.
Hence, many passing students realized that Shen Yanqing, a special professor at Huai University, appeared a few times at the female dormitory today. He seemed to be helping his girlfriend move her luggage.
Nan Ge did not bring much luggage back. She did not even fill a twenty-inch suitcase.
Shen Yanqing helped move the things in her dormitory.
She was going to Huasheng Group for an internship next semester, so she would not live on campus much. She was worried that there would be too many things when she graduated and it would be too troublesome to move them. She asked Shen Yanqing to move some things she did not need home first.
There were really a lot of things in Nan Gel s dormitory. Fortunately, Shen Yanqing had brought Assistant Yuan along. Otherwise, they would not be able to finish moving them in a short time.
They had only taken some seasonal clothes and shoes with them for the time being, but this part alone filled the entire trunk and backseat.
After moving, Assistant Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and could not help but sigh at the wonders of women.
Shen Yanqing was calm.
Ever since Nan Ge moved in with him, his home had changed drastically.
The closet was especially obvious.
At first, he lived in the apartment, mainly because it was close to the company.
At that time, he did not expect a second person to live there in the future. Therefore, he had not considered this problem when he designed it.
Now, the closet was occupied by Nan Ge’s clothes. As for his things, it had long been squeezed into an unknown corner.
The young lady did not wear jewelry often, but it would always appear in various places in the closet.
Sometimes, when he changed into a suit and went out, he could even find a pair of earrings in his pocket.
Not long after they finished moving their luggage, Nan Ge returned.
She jogged to the car and handed the coffee in her hand over. “Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Yuan.”
“Not at all.” Assistant Yuan smiled and took it.
Nan Ge clinked glasses with him.
Assistant Yuan was in a good mood, but before he drank it, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
He stole a glance at the coffee in Nan Ge’s hand from the corner of his eye, then looked at the one in his hand. He turned around and looked at Shen Yanqing in confusion.
The latter was empty-handed and looked at him expressionlessly.
ASSIStant yuan,
“President... President Shen, please.” He quickly handed the coffee over. “I just want to help you open it.”
“No need.” Shen Yanqing smiled and said gently, “I can drink hers.” “Oh...” Assistant Yuan felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long. He said a few words and returned to the car to await new orders. Hearing Shen Yanqing’s words, Nan Ge hesitated for a few seconds before giving him her coffee. “I thought you didn’t drink this kind of coffee.”
How good could the coffee in school be? She had never seen Shen Yanqing drink anything outside. He had also prepared water in his car, so she did not buy him coffee.
He felt a little helpless. “I’m not that fussy.”
Nan Ge had bought a cup of caramel macchiato. Shen Yan held her wrist and raised it a little, taking a sip.
The taste was very sweet. It was indeed not his usual preference.
Seeing him frown slightly, Nan Ge could not help but laugh. “I told you you wouldn’t like it.”
Shen Yanqing thought about it and nodded. “It’s alright. It’s just a little sweeter than I imagined.”
There were more and more people coming and going nearby. Nan Ge pushed his arm. “Please go back and help me put my things away first. Go back quickly.
Let’s go, let’s go.”
Shen Yanqing obediently took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped when she was not paying attention. He grabbed her hand.
Nan Ge bumped into him, and the hat on her head tilted. While she was adjusting the hat, Shen Yanqing took out something from his pocket and put it on her fair wrist without giving her a chance to react.
“What is this?”
Nan Ge raised her hand high, and the pendant on the bracelet swayed with her movements.
The sunlight stung her eyes. She narrowed her eyes for a long time before she could see the pattern of the pendant clearly.
It was a very cute penguin. It was made very realistically and looked charmingly silly. Judging from the color, it should be gold. “Why did you suddenly think of giving this to me?” Wasn’t the New Year over?
“Is this a Valentine’s Day gift?” she guessed.
Shen Yanqing shook his head. “Of course, I will give you a Valentine’s Day gift on the actual day. I got this red rope while I was in Shen City. This is just for good luck.”
“I thought you might not like it if it felt bare, so I wanted to find a pendant to match it, so I got someone to customize it.”
“Aren’t the results of the preliminary examination about to be released? You’re so outstanding. With this, you’ll definitely pass.” “Youyou, don’t be worried anymore.”
Hearing this, Nan Ge pouted and hugged him sweetly.
Shen Yanqing could clearly feel her emotions.
He was not a superstitious person, but when she went to the temple to ask for a lot for her results, he would accompany her. Knowing that she needed some metaphysical support at the moment, he would even specially go to another place to pray for her.
Perhaps it was really because of the bracelet’s good luck that Nan Ge was ranked second in the preliminary examination.
On the day the results were out, Nan Ge hugged Shen Yanqing and cried for a
long time.
She was mainly touched because this result was much better than she had imagined. She thought that her condition during the exam was average, so she had never been confident in the results.
Fortunately, hard work paid off.
The moment the results were released, Nan Zhe called. Nan Ge was crying at that time and did not pick up at all.
Nan Zhe was so anxious that he cursed. In the end, he had no choice but to call Shen Yanqing.
“At least you didn’t embarrass me.” After Nan Zhe found out about the results, he heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing Nan Gels sobbing voice on the other end of the phone, he sneered. ‘Why are you crying? You’re so useless.”
“What do you know?!” Nan Ge scolded him.
Nan Zhe could not stop laughing on the other end of the phone, but in the end, he still comforted her. “Alright, alright. With such results, the family is proud to have you. I have to go and take a look later. Is auspicious smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors?”
Nan Ge was speechless. What kind of consolation was this? Why was he being so sarcastic?
With the confidence she gained from the first test, Nan Ge was not so nervous about the second test.
In addition, Shen Yanqing had repeatedly told her that if there were no major mistakes during the second round, she would not be eliminated..
