Chapter 79 - 79 From That Summer to This Winter

79 From That Summer to This Winter

After Shen Yanqing’s voice came out, Nan Ge tilted her head slightly, as if she did not quite understand his words.

Weren’t they already… dating?

Wasn’t it?

Shen Yanqing caught her reaction and turned his head to the side.

!!

After a long silence, Nan Ge replied, “Of course.”

“Why else would I ask you out today?”

Shen Yanqing smiled and shook his head slightly. He did not explain anything and only said, “If I pass, can we take another step forward from now on?”

“Although there’s still some distance before I reach full marks, I’ll definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer in the future.”

After a pause, he looked into her eyes and said sincerely, “I mean… Nan Ge, I like you very much.”

“Although we didn’t spend much time together, I have to follow my heart. I want to tell you that I really like you.”

Before this, Assistant Yuan and the others in the president’s office had given him advice.

There were even a few ladies who specially took out their idol dramas and asked him to hurry up and learn.

These people seemed to be even more excited than him about his confession and kept discussing this topic in the group.

Everyone found a bunch of perfect words for him and said that if he confessed according to these, he would definitely succeed.

However, at this moment, his mind suddenly went blank. All the words he had prepared seemed to have been deleted a second before he spoke.

Shen Yanqing had never been so nervous. “Do you want to… be together?”

After asking, he tightened his grip.

He could guess the answer, but he was still nervous.

It was an indescribable feeling.

There was even a trace of frustration and powerlessness, questioning his ability to express himself.

It was a complete mess.

“I know that in your opinion, we might already be dating. But I don’t think I’ve ever expressed my feelings to you very seriously and clearly.”

“I know that you might not care about this, but I can’t let you be with me in such an unclear manner.”

“I want to be accountable to this relationship.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to promise anything. Perhaps my ability to express myself today is indeed very ordinary and might sound a little incoherent, but I still want you to listen patiently.”

“I’m from Huai City. My ancestors have been here for three generations. I’m 28 years old this year and I’m about to turn 29, so I’m eight years older than you. In the past years, I’ve never had feelings for anyone else. You’re the first and only girl I want to get close to.”

“I’m a little stiff. I might be a very boring person in private, and sometimes I don’t know how to take good care of someone. In short, I actually have many problems. The only good point I can find about myself is that I’m more patient than others.”

“I might not be your best mate right now, but I’m quite good at learning and adapting. I can accept whatever you like.”

“Secondly, you might only have a vague idea of my family situation. My mother is based overseas and doesn’t have much contact with me. My father and stepmother are in the country, but they won’t interfere in my life. I don’t have many close relatives or friends on my father’s side of the family. On my mother’s side, I only have a grandmother and aunt.”

“That’s why I’m an independent individual at the moment. I won’t be affected or disturbed by anyone. You don’t have to worry about any problems in this aspect in the future.”

“Also, in terms of career, although I’m not particularly outstanding, I can be considered to have some achievements.”

“As for real estate, I have four personal properties in Huai City. Other than the flat you’ve seen, there are also two villas and an apartment. Because I lived alone previously, I chose a place closer to the company.”

“Including Jiang City, I also have a house. If you’re interested, I can bring you there to take a look another day. Since I often go on business trips to Sijiu City and don’t like staying in hotels, so I also have two properties there.”

“As for the other assets… I might have to tidy them up before telling you.”

“That’s basically my personal situation now. You can ask me if there’s anything I didn’t explain clearly.”

Nan Ge, “…”

It was no exaggeration to say that after hearing Shen Yanqing’s words, her head buzzed.

Their eyes met, and a strange silence spread.

“Nan Ge?”

Shen Yanqing did not want to rush her, but being stared at by her like this was really unbearable.

“Ah.” She came back to her senses and blinked. “I… have no questions.”

He was just short of explaining where the three generations of his ancestors were buried.

“Then, how do you feel about me?”

“I-I’ve never been in a relationship before.” Nan Ge lowered her head. Her voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the violin playing not far away.

“I have only seen others date…”

“However, although I don’t have any experience, I felt that you were my type from the beginning.”

“Not entirely. I just don’t know what kind of boy I like. My roommate asked me before, but I wasn’t too sure either. It’s just that after seeing you, you’ve been attracting my attention.”

“I don’t think there’s any generation gap between our eight-year-old age difference, nor do I feel any distance between our identities. On the contrary, I feel very comfortable being with you.”

“It’s much more comfortable than when I was with others. It’s just that I don’t seem to have any worries being with you.”

“And I think you’re super outstanding! Although… I’ve always ridiculed you during every exam, I can’t deny that you’re really at a level that many people can’t touch.”

“It’s been almost two years since I noticed you. I never thought that I would be able to sit with you one day.”

“I forgot if I told you.” Nan Ge scratched her head in embarrassment and chuckled. “At that time, Dad and I had a disagreement about my future, so I ran away from home in a fit of anger.”

“I walked for a long time and bumped into a taxi.”

“I was sitting in the back seat. The driver was an uncle. When he saw that I was a little sad, he didn’t say anything and turned on the radio.”

...

“His car is really old and battered. I didn’t even hear the song on the radio clearly.”

“Then the uncle changed the channel, and then… I heard your voice.”

“Actually, my memory isn’t great. I can’t remember many things after the college entrance examination. However, from that summer to this winter, I still remember that scene clearly.”
