Chapter 58 - 58 Colliding with Shen Yanqing

58 Colliding with Shen Yanqing

In the supermarket.

Nan Ge pushed two shopping carts and struggled to walk behind.

Meanwhile, Nan Zhe was like a boss. He had one hand behind his back and the other hand was choosing products from the shelves. From time to time, he would take down a bag of snacks and casually throw them into the shopping cart behind him.

With a bang, the pitiful-looking girl behind him was hit.

Hearing that something was wrong, Nan Zhe turned around and asked with concern, “Did my crispy noodles break?”

Nan Ge, “…”

“No!”

“Oh.” Nan Zhe turned around and continued walking.

His movements were casual and comparable to an old man who was out for a walk.

“Push one yourself!” Nan Ge was pushing a shopping cart in each hand, her arms aching.

Passersby could not help but take a few more glances at her.

Nan Zhe did not even blink. He said, “My hands hurt. I can’t push one.”

“When you hit me with the crispy noodle snack just now, didn’t you use a lot of strength?”

“Is that so?” Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows and threw another bag of potato chips over.

Nan Ge, “…”

After the two shopping carts were filled, Nan Ge finally could not help but ask, “Didn’t you say you wanted to buy something to visit Grandma?”

“Aren’t we shopping now?”

Nan Zhe was a little hungry, so he picked another tiramisu.

Looking at the exquisite desserts on the shelf, Nan Ge reached out her hand and said, “Grandma doesn’t seem to eat crispy noodles.”

Just as her fingers were about to touch the box, Nan Zhe slapped her hand away. “What are you doing?”

“Getting the cake.”

She looked at him innocently.

Nan Zhe crossed his arms and asked, “Did you bring money?”

“When we came out, didn’t you say that you would pay for the expenses today?”

“That was before.” Nan Zhe smiled. “When you said that I was a husky, I told myself that I definitely wouldn’t spend a single cent on you today.”

“You’re such a petty person!” Nan Ge was so angry that she wanted to hit him. She had pushed the shopping cart for nothing!

“No, correction.” Nan Zhe wagged his index finger gently, his eyes filled with disdain. “I’m the cutest husky around.”

“How can an ordinary species like you touch a glorious husky like me?”

Nan Ge was speechless. Why did he accept his status as a husky so quickly?

He took it well and did not resist at all.

——

Nan Zhe and Nan Ge’s grandmother lived at the border between Jiang City and Huai City.

Her parents were delayed by something and would only come tonight. The two of them bought something and came over first.

The alley here was very narrow and could only accommodate one or two people.

Nan Zhe could only park the car on the road outside near the stream.

After opening the trunk, Nan Zhe took down the four bags and placed them on the ground. He urged Nan Ge, who was tidying up her jacket not far away, “Husky’s little sister, hurry up and get the things.”

“…” Why did it feel like he was scolding someone?

After entering the courtyard, Nan Zhe started shouting at the top of his lungs, “Grandma!”

“Grandma!”

“Coming, coming.” Soon, Grandma pushed the door open and came out with two mahjong tiles in her hand.

Nan Zhe smiled. “I knew you were playing mahjong again. If we don’t shout louder, you won’t be able to hear it at all.”

“Rascal.” Grandma hit him with a smile. “Where’s Youyou?”

“Behind.”

“Grandma!” Nan Ge came in panting with two bags.

Seeing this, Grandma exclaimed and threw away the mahjong tiles in her hand. She jogged over and took the things. “Your brother is the same. How could he make you carry such heavy things?”

Nan Ge pouted and took the opportunity to complain. “He only knows how to bully me.”

“It’s fine. Grandma will help you beat him up later.”

“Good!”

Compared to the atmosphere at her grandfather’s house, Nan Ge preferred her grandmother’s house.

Her grandfather had left early, so her grandmother and uncle lived here.

Hearing the commotion outside, her aunt, who was cooking, poked her head out of the kitchen. When she saw them coming, she hurriedly put down the rolling pin. “Oh my. Little Zhe and Youyou are here!”

“Happy New Year, Auntie!”

“Thank you. I’ll come after washing my hands! Go in quickly.”

“Okay.”

...

Because of her health, her aunt had been married to her uncle for ten years and did not have any children.

Usually, the couple treated the siblings as their biological children.

Moreover, her uncle and aunt were very generous. They were people who would think of the siblings immediately if there was anything good.

According to Grandma’s usual jokes, even if her uncle and aunt only had $100 in their hands, they would spend $99 to buy snacks for Nan Ge.

Then, they would be left with $1 to buy candy for Nan Zhe.

——

At noon, Aunt cooked a table full of food.

“Isn’t Uncle coming back at noon?”

“Yes. He’s going to be late tonight.” Aunt handed the chopsticks to Nan Ge and smiled. “The company asked someone to go to work today. Others couldn’t wait to hide but he volunteered and went.”

Nan Zhe was amused. “Uncle is really a good person.”

“That’s right.”

...

After Grandma finished playing mahjong, she hurriedly sent her neighbors off and rushed back for dinner. When she entered, she happened to hear them chatting.

“Youyou, are your parents coming at night too?”

“They’ll probably be here in the afternoon. We have guests at home. They have to stay and have lunch with them, so they told me and my brother to come over first.”

After lunch, Nan Ge and Nan Zhe had nothing to do, so they simply watched television with their grandmother and aunt.

The pile of snacks Nan Zhe had bought came in handy.

When everyone arrived at night, the scene became a little livelier.

Mr. Nan, Uncle, and Nan Zhe loved drinking. The moment they met, they could not be stopped.

Without a doubt, Nan Zhe was the first to collapse.

Although he could hold his liquor well outside, Mr. Nan and Uncle liked drinking a lot and brought high-quality white wine.

Nan Zhe could not win against them at all.

The drinking was still going on in the dining room.

Nan Ge threw the husky onto the bed and sat on the ground to rest for a while before she had the strength to go out.

“Help get my bag from the car. There’s medicine in the bag. Remember to let your brother take it.”

Just as she was about to enter, her mother stuck her head out of the dining room window and handed her a car key.

“Oh, okay.”

The cub nodded obediently and walked out of the door with the car keys.

“The car is parked on the main road outside. Don’t make a mistake.”

“Alright!”

There were few parking spaces here to begin with, and it was New Year’s Eve. Every family had relatives visiting.

Nan Zhe had already booked a good parking lot. When Mr. Nan came, he could only park in the outermost area.

The streetlights had dimmed at some point.

No one passed by. It was silent.

Nan Ge came out in a hurry and did not bring her phone.

After taking two steps, she stopped and clenched her fists to encourage herself. “Don’t be afraid. Just run.”

Then, she ran all the way to the car.

“Charge!”

After picking up the bag, the baby penguin shouted again and ran back.

At the corner of the alley, the light was dim.

The baby penguin did not stop in time. With a bang, she bumped into the person walking toward her.
