Chapter 21

For the past two days, Nan Ge had been busy revising and did not pay attention to news about the concert.

Before getting into the car, she took the time to scroll through Weibo and realized that the tickets were all sold out!

More importantly, the price of scalper tickets had already shot up to $100,000! Damn it!

$100,000. If she had $100,000, she would not have come to deliver food!

Of course, if she could get tickets, she would not beg Nan Zhe so humbly.

“Just treat it as a New Year’s gift. Help me. Help me, please!”

In fact, Nan Ge was not a diehard fan and did not chase celebrities, but she liked this overseas boy band since junior high school. She liked their performance and songs, but she was not crazy about them.

She could be considered a very laid-back fan.

However, they had finally chosen to include the country as a part of their world tour, and it happened to be in town on her doorstep. She did not want to miss it.

Moreover, the boy group had debuted a long time ago. To put it bluntly, it was probably only a few years away from disbanding.

Perhaps this would be the last performance!

At the thought of this, Nan Ge thought about the pain she suffered during the time she spent revising for the past two days and squeezed out two drops of tears. “Boohoo. Big Bro, please help me. I just want to go to the concert. I will be your slave and do anything you say when I come back, okay?”

“Are you warming up for opera? You sound like you’re singing opera when you cry. Enough.” Nan Zhe glanced at her in disdain and pulled his hand back. “Don’t rub your snot on my clothes. My jacket costs more than $70,000.”

Nan Ge, “…” She thanked him inside sarcastically.

He certainly cared about her, but not much.

——

“Huh? Do you live here too?”

The Lamborghini drove slowly into the neighborhood. Nan Ge took one look at the scene outside and exclaimed.

“Didn’t you know?”

“I can’t remember…” Nan Ge knew that her brother had a large flat in Huai City, but he had not stayed there much after buying it.

However, she could not remember which district it was.

Huai City was ranked as the third-best city in the country. High-end districts could get very competitive and sometimes seem very exaggerated.

She usually stayed on campus. Occasionally, she would stay in a hotel near the school when she was having fun with her friends, so she never came to her brother’s place.

Nan Zhe had just parked the car when he slowly recalled. “Wait, what do you mean by ‘too’?”

“I’ve delivered an order here before.”

He unbuckled his seatbelt with one hand, clearly not believing her. “Those who live in this district are all successful people. They don’t order takeout. You’re not very smart for a liar.”

Nan Ge scoffed at this and sneered at him. “We shouldn’t make sweeping statements. Is President Shen considered successful? He was the customer.”

Nan Zhe paused and looked up. “Who?”

“Shen Yanqing.”

“…”

The car engine stopped and it turned dark inside the car.

Under the scattered light in the garage, Nan Zhe narrowed his eyes and looked at her. “Have you delivered food to Shen Yanqing? Which block does he live in?”

Nan Ge did not think too much about it and answered honestly, “Block 8. Oh, it’s right next to yours.”

Nan Zhe was in Block 20, which was exactly parallel to Block 8. There was only one road between them.

“Did you really make the delivery?”

Seeing that she was serious, Nan Zhe finally believed her.

“Of course. Why would I lie to you?”

Taking a deep breath, the more Nan Zhe thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He pulled Nan Ge’s ear and asked, “Was this the reason you asked about him? What were you thinking, Nan Youyou?”

Nan Ge’s eardrums were vibrating from his roar. She slapped his hand away and rubbed her ears. “Why are you shouting so loudly?”

“You’ve met recently?”

“Yeah.” Nan Ge looked him up and down. She was not sure if this man was going through menopause or not. He certainly had very violent mood swings.

“Before you came, it was Shen Yanqing who helped me. Unfortunately, you didn’t get to see it. He was so hot when he stood in front of me and defended me just now. He was much better than you. Thank you.”

After hearing this, Nan Zhe sneered. “Tell me the truth. Is there something secretly going on between the two of you?”

Nan Ge retorted, “What did I say to make you come to this conclusion?”

Why did he say these things? It was baffling.

Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, Nan Zhe relaxed a little, but his tone was still a little sour. “I’ve never heard you praise me for being handsome so excitedly in my life. Tsk.”

“Says who? Don’t I always praise you?”

“Did you ever mean it?” Nan Zhe stopped her before she could answer. “Can you answer honestly?”

Nan Ge opened her mouth and finally compromised. “Fine. No, I didn’t.”

When she praised Nan Zhe, she always had a favor to ask of him.

Nan Zhe looked as if he knew what was going on.

“I’m warning you, stay away from him.”

“Why?” Nan Ge asked subconsciously.

Nan Zhe choked. He felt that there must be something wrong with Nan Ge’s reaction.

He gritted his teeth and continued, “You should know that he’s eight years older than you, right? You can’t win against such an old man.”

Nan Ge did not think so. “I think he’s a good person.”

Shen Yanqing was a few years older than her, but from the beginning to the end, she thought that Shen Yanqing was indeed different from what she had imagined.

His kindness was not superficial and was not hypocritical at all.

It was as if what she saw was everything.

“You are hardly a grown up and you’re stupid to boot. What would you know?” Nan Zhe raised his hand and poked her head fiercely. “Take a detour when you see him in the future. Also, don’t do anything funny.”

“…”

However, what could she possibly do?

Early the next morning, Nan Ge was kicked out by her brother before she could wake up.

She went back to school and entered the classroom in a daze.

It was only when she found a seat and sat down that her mind cleared up a little. Like a movie rewinding, the events from last night to today slowly replayed.

There was nothing important, but there was a small problem. When she left last night, she did not seem to have told Shen Yanqing.

However, after scrolling through her phone, she did not receive any new messages from Shen Yanqing.

Normally, he would have asked her if she had returned to school last night and added a “good night” at the end.

Nan Ge raised her hand and touched her chin. She felt that it was a little strange.

Could it be that he was drunk at a gathering with his friends last night?

That could not be. He was allergic to alcohol and did not order alcohol last night.

After thinking for a long time, Nan Ge still had no clue, so she decided to take the initiative. [Good morning.]

[I left in a hurry after work yesterday. I forgot to tell you before I left.]

After the message was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

This time, Shen Yanqing did not reply immediately.

Nan Ge scratched her ear and sent another emoji to test the waters.

In the end, there was still no reply.

She stared at his name, but the words “the other party is typing” did not appear at all.

This was the first time Nan Ge had waited so anxiously for someone’s reply.

Unfortunately, Shen Yanqing did not appear even after class started. There were only a few messages that she had sent just now in the dialog box. It was cold and empty.
