Chapter 120: A Fire Getting Stronger and Stronger

There was no need to think about the answer. When Nan Ge left the restaurant, she almost fled.
He was in no hurry to chase after her. Just like before, his gaze lingered on the wall for a few seconds before he finally bought the small gift that she had been looking at for the longest.
It was just a small doll. It was not big, and the workmanship was not exquisite.
There was only one reason that Nan Ge liked the little doll. It was a little gray penguin with a yellow bag on its shoulder. It was exactly the same as Nan Ge the other day.
Lowering his head, Shen Yanqing glanced at the little penguin in Nan Ge’s arms. In the end, he could not help but raise his hand to stroke the little penguin’s furry head.
It was obvious that Nan Ge really liked this penguin. She had been hugging it since she got it yesterday.
Just as he was thinking, the person in his arms suddenly moved, scaring him so much that his back stiffened. He maintained his original posture and did not dare to move. Fortunately, Nan Ge only adjusted her sleeping position and did not wake up.
However, because she had changed her posture, his fingers that had just landed on the doll had already slid down to her… body.
The little girl lay flat on her back, the curve of her chest rising and falling slightly with her breathing—
With just one glance, Shen Yanqing looked away in a panic. He closed his eyes hard and retracted his fingers as if they were scalded. He hid them behind his back guiltily.
He frowned in frustration and could not help but condemn himself in his heart.
Why did he touch her?
Why did he react so slowly?
For a moment, Shen Yanqing felt a fire rising in his heart. It burned brighter and brighter, like a prairie fire.
It made him a little anxious and the image in his mind could not be erased.
At this time in the morning, as a man, it was easy for him to have uncontrollable physiological reactions.
Just now, he had finally calmed down a little, but who knew…
Sighing, Shen Yanqing really could not fall asleep.
At 7:30 in the morning, Nan Zhe dressed neatly and appeared downstairs at Shen Yanqing’s building on time.
As he was not a resident of this building, he could not go up at all. He could only call Shen Yanqing downstairs. When he realized that no one was picking up, he called Nan Ge, but no one picked up either.
“Still not awake?” Nan Zhe frowned and continued to call reluctantly.
Finally, on the fourth call, Shen Yanqing picked up.
“Hey, don’t tell me you just woke up.”
“I’ve been awake for a while. Do you want to pick Nan Ge up now? She’s still resting.”
“Then why did you only answer the phone now? Why? Do you find me annoying?” Compared to Nan Ge, Nan Zhe was obviously more concerned about this question.
“Alright, I’ve just agreed to the two of you being together, and you’ve already revealed your true colors, right? You don’t have any patience at all.”
Listening to his complaints, Shen Yanqing’s heart did not waver at all. He was already used to it. He felt that Nan Zhe was very suitable to act in dramas. He could take on any role and was very professional.
However, he did not dare to say this out loud. He only explained, “I was taking a shower just now and my phone was on silent, so I didn’t hear it.”
“Take a shower???” Upon hearing this, Nan Zhe narrowed his eyes and questioned, “Why are you taking a shower so early in the morning? They were both men. Nan Zhe’s expression instantly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t tell me that you and…’
“It’s not what you think.” Shen Yanqing was a little helpless. “It really isn’t.”
“Then open the door for me and let me go up. Immediately!” Nan Zhe did not believe him. He was in a hurry as if he was going to catch an adulterer.
Shen Yanqing pursed his lips and felt guilty for a second before opening the door for him.
Two minutes later, Nan Zhe pushed the door open and entered. Shen Yanqing was wearing pajamas, and his hair was still wet.
He specially waited for Nan Zhe at the door. Seeing Nan Zhe come in, he wanted to greet him, but Nan Zhe ignored him and walked past him into the bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Nan Zhe did not go in. He only stood at the door and glanced inside. His gaze was not too impudent.
Of course, he knew that Youyou was a big girl.
“Did you two sleep together last night?”
Nan Zhe was very smart. He knew at a glance that the bedroom Nan Ge was sleeping in was not a guest room.
“That’s not it.”
Shen Yanqing looked like he had a clear conscience. “She woke up around five in the morning and slept for a while in my room.”
“What about you?”
“After coaxing her to sleep, I went to the study. I just washed up and prepared to make breakfast.
Shen Yanqing explained in detail, his tone and expression looked normal.
Nan Zhe looked him up and down. After confirming that he was not lying, he turned around and returned to the living room.
He did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa as if he was at home. He casually took a banana from the table and peeled it. As he ate, he looked at Shen Yanqing, who was standing not far away, and instructed, “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to make breakfast? Coincidentally, I’m hungry too. Hurry up.”
Since he was already here, Shen Yanqing was not so petty as to not let him eat breakfast. “Is there anything you don’t like?”
He asked considerately.
“Are you making Chinese or Western?”
“Nan Ge said earlier that she wants to eat noodles, so I’m making Chinese. Are you okay?”
“Sure. As for noodles, I don’t eat onions, ginger, garlic, and chili. Don’t put them in.” Shen Yanqing,
“Okay. Anything else?”
“That’s all. Go.” Nan Zhe waved his hand, indicating for him to leave.
Shen Yanqing’s shoulders relaxed and he turned around to go to the kitchen.
Nan Zhe looked up and began to size up the layout after he left.
After looking around, he clicked his tongue. “Your taste is indeed average.” It was completely incomparable to him.
As expected, he was old and liked simple styles. He was not as lively and energetic as him.
Wasn’t Nan Ge bored being with such a person all day?
This was what Nan Zhe had always been puzzled about.
Nan Ge was only in her early twenties and was at the age where she liked to have fun. Wouldn’t she be depressed to be with a boring person like Shen Yanqing?
Nan Zhe could not help but get up and take a closer look at the living room. He kept feeling that Shen Yanqing’s place was too monotonous, but it was not just the color combination style. He felt that something was missing… Then, he stopped in his tracks and suddenly thought of something.
This place looked very impersonal.
Yes, this was missing.
He glanced around. There was not a single family photo.
His living room was filled with photos of his family.
He then remembered that he did not seem to have known Shen Yanqing’s family in detail. He had only heard a few words from others.
In the kitchen, Shen Yanqing had his head lowered and was cutting the side dishes with a serious expression.
The door behind him was pulled open without warning.
He did not need to turn around to know who it was, but he still diverted some attention to the other party.
“What can I do for you?”
“Shen Yanqing, I’m Nan Gel s family after all.. Shouldn’t you tell me about your family?”
