Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Nonsense.”
Nan Zhe looked disdainful. “Your brother isn’t as free as you think.”
Although he refused to admit it, Nan Ge knew that he was just being stubborn. She could not help but smile and Nan Zhe caught her. “What are you laughing
“Just…” Nan Ge pursed her lips, but she still could not hold it in. She was indescribably happy. “I’m very happy.”
She had thought that there would be a tough battle. Now that her brother had agreed to let them be together, it did not mean that he did not hate Shen
Yanqing.
But now, she felt that she was really overthinking it previously.
Perhaps from the beginning, her brother had also admired Shen Yanqing.
If this topic continued, her brother would not be able to say anything nice. Nan Ge changed the topic in time and asked about his date with Qi Yan yesterday.
“It’s just a meal. It’s not a date,” Nan Zhe said perfunctorily.
“I’m very curious, Brother. Do you have feelings for Sister Qi Yan after seeing her again for such a long time? Or did you already like her?”
Nan Ge turned sideways. As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze could not help but wander over his face, not wanting to miss any subtle expression. For a moment, the siblings’ roles changed, and the interrogator became Nan
Hearing this, Nan Zhe clicked his tongue softly. He did not like to discuss this.
However, he had done too much evil previously. This time, Nan Ge refused to let him off easily and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Nan Ge thought about how her brother had been keeping his chastity for the past few years and had never been in a relationship. She was even more certain that it was the latter.
She gasped in surprise.
“Could it be that he really can’t forget her?”
Nan Zhe looked straight ahead and focused on driving. As if he did not hear her, he did not answer for a long time.
However, Nan Ge knew that if not for this, based on her brother’s personality, he would definitely not be so quiet. He would still retort and speak rudely.
Therefore, this was a silent admission.
“!!!” Nan Ge seemed to have discovered a shocking secret and immediately sat up straight. “Brother, you were only in junior high school back then! Junior high school! You, you, you… fell in love at a young age, right?”
She did not forget how her brother had educated her when she was in school.
Later on, even if he went overseas, he had to call every day to warn her not to start dating at a young age.
However, he actually…
The more Nan Ge thought about it, the more excited she became. “It must have been ten years. Brother, did you show interest in girls at such a young age?”
“This doesn’t seem like your style!”
Usually, when he heard similar words coming from her, Nan Zhe’s first reaction was to retort and reach out to pull her ear. But today, he was too silent.
It was as if he was continuously tacitly agreeing to every question Nan Ge asked.
The car suddenly fell silent. If he did not answer, Nan Ge did not dare to ask further.
She looked at her brother’s side profile and suddenly felt sorry for him.
That feeling was indescribable.
It was as if she had quietly had a crush. The fine needles rushed to stab into her heart with every breath.
At the thought that her brother, who was usually arrogant and condescending, had actually been so humble in private, Nan Ge gripped her seatbelt tightly and lowered her head in discomfort, unable to speak.
Previously, she had thought about what kind of girlfriend her brother would find.
She thought that based on her brother’s personality, the woman would definitely pursue him relentlessly. Then, through their daily interactions, the two of them would slowly fall in love.
Although she had been guessing recently that her brother had some feelings for Sister Qi Yan, she did not expect the truth to be more exaggerated than she had imagined.
How could someone have a crush on someone for so many years…
A few minutes later, Nan Ge was immersed in sadness and could not extricate herself. She looked up timidly and stole a glance at Nan Zhe before quickly looking away.
After a long silence, she pouted and said in a soft voice, “Brother, I’m sorry.”
At first, she just wanted to give her brother a taste of his own medicine and let him experience the feeling of being chased and interrogated.
However, she did not expect the outcome to be like this.
If she had known earlier, she would not have asked. Indeed, one could not be too nosy.
“Why are you apologizing?” Nan Zhe glanced at her from the corner of his eye and laughed. “What did you say wrong?”
Nan Ge lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Nan Zhe’s eyes were almost overflowing with love. He freed his hand and rubbed her head. “Lift your head. Have you forgotten what I told you previously?”
Nan Ge was unmoved and listless.
“If you do this, people will think that I’m bullying you.” Nan Zhe poked her little head. “Don’t let your imagination run wild.” “Your brother’s not as miserable as you think.”
“No puppy love.”
“I don’t think it’s even considered a crush.”
“Huh?” Nan Ge clearly did not believe him and felt that he was stubborn.
“At that time, I really didn’t have such thoughts. I just felt that we were very good friends. Later on, after she left Jiang City without a word, I slowly realized that I really couldn’t forget her.”
This was the first time Nan Zhe had mentioned this matter.
Previously, he had asked Yuan Chi about Qi Yan and asked if they had contacted each other. Yuan Chi was smart and felt that he treated Qi Yan a little differently. However, he did not admit it and did not say much. Later on, Yuan Chi also pestered him and asked, but in the end, he made random excuses.
All these years, he had never revealed his feelings for Qi Yan to anyone.
His feelings for Qi Yan were indeed very innocent when he was in school.
They were just good buddies. At that time, everyone was still young, and the school was very strict in this aspect.
He did not have such thoughts.
After Qi Yan left Jiang City, he felt that the other party did not treat him as a friend. Otherwise, why did she not tell him before leaving?
He had thought that he would be able to forget such a person very quickly. He had never lacked friends.
However, he did not expect that in high school and university, Qi Yan seemed to have been engraved in his memories and could not be forgotten.
It was only later that he slowly realized that he had never treated Qi Yan as an ordinary friend.
Their junior high school classmates had frequent gatherings, unlike other classes that only gathered once every ten years. As everyone was very familiar with each other and almost all of them stayed in Jiang City, they would usually organize gatherings in the group chat when they had time.
He always tried his best to participate. If he really could not spare time, he would ask Yuan Chi and the others to help him keep an eye out.
He had a feeling that Qi Yan would come back.
She could not really disappear just like that, right?
No matter what, she had grown up in Jiang City. She would come back eventually.
Therefore, he firmly believed that they would definitely meet again.
After a pause, Nan Zhe continued unhurriedly, “Actually, I wasn’t particularly sure if I really liked her before. I just felt like I wanted to see her again.” “What happened after you met?” Nan Ge asked curiously.
Nan Zhe suddenly smiled and glanced at her sideways.. ‘What do you think?”
