Chapter 78 - 78 Do I Pass?

78 Do I Pass?

“What’s wrong…?” Nan Ge looked up and accidentally fell into his eyes.

Shen Yanqing shook his head. “I just suddenly feel that my luck is not bad.”

Nan Ge blinked slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Shen Yanqing never complained.

He did not think that anyone’s life could be smooth sailing, but at the same time, he did not think he was lucky. He did not feel that luck could decide everything.

The trauma that his original family had brought him had really affected him for many, many years.

Including in the early stages of entrepreneurship, he also encountered many problems.

He had slowly gotten to where he was today.

But now, he really felt that he was a very lucky person.

Everything seemed to be just right.

If he had not agreed to the interview with the media back then, the words “Shen Yanqing” would still be unfamiliar in Nan Ge’s world.

And on that rainy night, if he hadn’t taken her umbrella, he wouldn’t have known her.

Therefore, he seemed to be quite lucky. That was why he did not miss every encounter between the two of them.

——

In the dining room.

The waiter led the way. Nan Ge walked beside Shen Yanqing with a small gift.

The moment they entered, they saw a long corridor. The lights were intertwined and reflected on the ground. Upon closer inspection, there was actually a pattern.

“Oh, there are small fish!”

Nan Ge tugged at his sleeve and pointed it out to him.

When Shen Yanqing heard the sound and looked at the ground, the small fish had just swam away and disappeared.

“Ah… they escaped.” Nan Ge felt a little regretful.

Shen Yanqing stopped and stood with her. He said cooperatively, “Wait a little longer. They might come back soon.”

The waiter in front had already walked to the corner. When he turned around, he realized that the guest had disappeared.

The waiter jogged back and finally found the two people squatting in the corridor, watching the fish.

“…”

Finally, Nan Ge saw a small fish and called out to Shen Yanqing excitedly, “Here, here!”

“So cute.”

Although it was fake, Nan Ge still liked it very much. She even took out her phone and took a photo.

“This corridor looks like an aquarium.” Whether it was the colors or the patterns projected.

The waiter happened to hear this when he approached, so he explained the design concept here. It was indeed the style of the aquarium.

Shen Yanqing helped her up and asked, “We can go to the aquarium together another day.”

From the looks of it, she should like it very much.

“Sure!” Nan Ge remembered going to the aquarium once.

It seemed like someone had given Yu a stack of free tickets in junior high school. At that time, they had gone together.

However, she did not have a deep impression of the event.

——

After reading the menu, Nan Ge casually ordered a few dishes that looked more interesting.

Today’s theme was Valentine’s Day, so the menu had been changed. The dishes looked very creative.

Because the two of them did not drink, compared to the red wine swaying on the other tables, their side seemed much calmer.

Seeing that no one was disturbing her, Nan Ge wiped her hands with a towel and took the opportunity to take the gift out of the bag and hand it over.

“This is for you.”

Shen Yanqing noticed that she was carrying a bag, but he did not know that there was a gift inside.

He was flattered and took it with both hands.

“Is this… a gift for me?” He really did not expect this.

Nan Ge nodded heavily. “Open it and see if you like it.”

“I don’t know much about this. My friend picked it with me. It’s the person you saw last time.”

“I remember him.”

At that time, Nan Ge had introduced the boy as Yu. It was because his surname was Yu that he had such a nickname.

Under Nan Ge’s expectant gaze, Shen Yanqing slowly pulled open the black bow on it.

Nan Ge craned her neck and looked at him, not wanting to miss any subtle expression on his face.

This was the second time she had given Shen Yanqing a gift.

The first time was a scarf, but she did not choose it seriously at that time. It was suggested by the sales assistant at that time.

This time, although Yu helped her, she really wanted to get him a gift.

When the box was opened, Shen Yanqing looked at the pair of sapphire cufflinks inside and fell into deep thought…

...

Coincidentally, he had seen this pair of cufflinks a month ago.

It was before the holidays. During a casual chat, Assistant Yuan was picking cufflinks and asked him how these looked.

If he remembered correctly, the price displayed in the photo seemed to be… more than $9,000?

Sigh.

How much was Nan Ge’s monthly salary for delivering food?

Moreover, she did not seem to have delivered much ever since the holidays started.

Seeing that he did not look surprised or happy when he received the gift, the smile on Nan Ge’s face gradually disappeared.

Didn’t he like it?

That shouldn’t be the case.

She and Yu shopped for a long time, and the two of them unanimously believed that this model was the best option.

Moreover, the price was neither high nor low. It was acceptable for her to give it as a gift.

...

So what went wrong? Nan Ge was confused.

Hesitating, she asked carefully, “Is it ugly?”

Shen Yanqing looked up and came back to his senses.

His thin lips parted slightly. “No. It’s very beautiful. I like it very much.”

Nan Ge scratched her head and whispered, “Huh? Judging by your reaction, you don’t seem to like them…”

“I’m sorry.”

Shen Yanqing quickly apologized. “I just think this is a little expensive.”

After hearing his explanation, Nan Ge chuckled.

“Not really.”

“It’s the first time I’m officially giving you a gift. Of course, it can’t be too cheap. Moreover, this is indeed quite suitable for you.”

Shen Yanqing immediately felt a little guilty.

“I… didn’t prepare anything.”

He thought that he was quite attentive, but when he turned around, he realized that it was not the case.

He had not thought of such an important thing.

He should have prepared a gift as well.

He frowned in frustration. For a moment, his emotions felt guilty.

“Says who?” Nan Ge did not think so. She pointed at the environment. “Didn’t you book the flowers and the restaurant?”

“Without you, the two of us might really have to eat at a roadside stall today.”

“When I go over in this dress, I’ll probably be arrested as a lunatic!”

After saying that, she patted her chest and was a little glad.

With just a few witty words, she could easily ease the atmosphere.

Shen Yanqing was amused by her. He carefully put away his cufflinks. “Thank you. I really like it.”

“It’s good that you like it.” Seeing him smile, Nan Ge smiled too.

The dishes were served one after another. Nan Ge was full of praise.

The atmosphere here was very good. Sitting by the window, one could look down at the night scenery of Huai City.

When she was almost done eating, Shen Yanqing found a perfect window and straightened his back.

“Nan Ge.”

“Huh?” Nan Ge put down her fork and looked at him.

“I want to say that after knowing each other for so long, you should know a little about me.”

“In your heart, if you have a standard answer sheet for your future boyfriend, can I get a pass now?”
