Chapter 159: Indeed, We Can’t Be Friends Anymore
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Ge only came back to her senses after being dragged two to three hundred meters away.
She held the cat and looked up at the tall figure in front of her with lingering fear.
Nan Zhe was afraid of the cold. He had even put on a windbreaker when he went out for a walk tonight. Compared to the past, he looked more like a male model at the show.
This empty street was his runway, and his aura was fully released.
“What are you looking at?”
Nan Zhe glanced at her indifferently.
“Uh…” At this moment, Nan Ge did not dare to say anything.
Her brother’s combat power had exploded just now, and she could not tell if her brother had turned off the engine or not. If she said anything now, she might very well become cannon fodder and be scolded.
This was because he was usually like this.
Often, when her brother did not let off enough steam on the “battlefield”, whoever took the initiative to talk to him would be the next person to be scolded.
Historically speaking, the unlucky person was mostly her.
She thought that if she did not speak, her brother would let her go. Unfortunately, she was too naive.
Nan Zhe stared at her small head and was furious. “Did you get bullied like this before outside? Isn’t it embarrassing, Nan Ge? What’s the use of that mouth under your nose? Can’t you speak? Huh?”
He enunciated each word clearly and did not forget to poke her head hard with his index finger.
Nan Ge’s head was buzzing. After a long while, she said, “Please, I was pulled to the back by you before I could say anything.” He did not give her a chance to speak.
“Is that so?” Nan Zhe frowned.
‘You rushed up without saying anything. How could I interrupt? Look, Shen
Yanqing’s mother didn’t even have a chance to take advantage of you.”
In terms of scolding people, Nan Ge had never seen anyone who could suppress
Nan Zhe in so many years.
Only then did Nan Zhe let her go.
“However, Shen Yanqing’s mother really lives up to her reputation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw that the car had disappeared. The two figures had also disappeared.
“Hmmm. Does his mother live here too? Why don’t I remember?”
The house just now was not far from their grandfather’s place. They were considered neighbors.
Nan Ge was not sure about this. “Shen Yanqing said that his mother had been overseas before. She might have returned to the country recently.”
“Don’t bother about her when you meet her in the future. It’s a waste of your time to be polite to such a person.” Nan Zhe reminded.
Nan Ge thought about it and agreed.
He took the cat from her hand. Nan Zhe had long legs and big steps. Soon, he and the cat walked in front of her.
Nan Ge stepped on his shadow and silently followed him. She did not know where he was going.
“She hasn’t contacted me in a while.”
Nan Ge stopped in her tracks.
Her gaze was stunned as she watched Nan Zhe continue walking without looking back. At the same time, he said, “As expected, we can’t even be friends anymore.”
“I don’t know what you women are thinking.”
The shadow on the ground gradually disappeared. Nan Ge stood rooted to the ground and opened her pink lips, wanting to say something but hesitated.
Relationships were not her forte. Hesitating, she strode forward and jogged after him. She did not say anything and followed Nan Zhe silently.
From the beginning to the end, Nan Zhe did not look at her. He held the cat’s leash and walked forward steadily. From time to time, he would sigh.
He seemed to be talking to himself.
Ever since he confessed to Qi Yan that day, the two of them had indeed not contacted each other again.
He knew that Qi Yan had already returned to the country, but the other party had never called him. There was not even a WeChat message.
Qi Yan was not someone who liked to post on her WeChat Moments. She was unlike Nan Ge who liked to post on her WeChat moments like a little girl.
Hence, he did not know what she was doing now. Just like that, the interaction that had just recovered slowly faded and returned to its previous state.
Nan Zhe had never suffered such a blow in his life.
Ever since he was young, be it at home or outside, he was like the moon surrounded by stars. He rarely took the initiative to accommodate someone and was even humiliated by her.
Nan Ge could understand her brother’s feelings.
He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Now that he had suffered this setback, it was normal for him to be unable to walk out from under its shadow in a short period of time.
After all, he was such a proud person.
Nan Zhe had never liked others interfering in his matters. Nan Ge knew this.
Therefore, Nan Ge hesitated for two hours about whether to call Qi Yan.
After coming back from walking the cat outside, Nan Zhe returned to his room to rest.
As the eldest grandson, he had many things to do tomorrow.
As the granddaughter of the family, she was naturally more relaxed. In the past, she did not like to join in the fun, and no one paid attention to her.
When she called Qi Yan, Nan Ge nervously gripped her phone and did not dare to breathe loudly.
The phone rang for a while before it was picked up.
“Hello, is this Sister Qi Yan?”
“I’m Qi Yan. Who’s this?” Qi Yan did not recognize her voice.
“My name is Nan Ge. I’m… Nan Zhe’s sister. We met once in Huai City. Do you still remember? It was Valentine’s Day.”
Qi Yan had not heard Nan Zhe’s name for a while. She was slightly stunned before saying, “I remember. Why are you looking for me?”
“I wanted to talk to you about my brother. I wonder if it’s convenient for you now.”
“Are you in Huai City?” “No, I’m in Jiang City.” “That’s good. Let’s meet and talk.”
“Now?” Nan Ge was stunned.
“Yes, I happen to have time. Is it convenient for you?”
“Yes, yes.”
Qi Yan gave her an address.
After hanging up, Nan Ge hurried downstairs with her coat.
Mrs. Nan heard the commotion and glanced at the staircase. “Why are you still going out so late? Didn’t you just come back?”
“Ah, I have something on. A high school classmate is looking for me. I’ll be back soon!”
Mrs. Nan did not suspect anything. She looked at the time and said, “You have to be back before eleven. It’s too late.” “Okay.”
“Ask your brother to send you off.”
“No need, no need!” Nan Ge quickly gestured for her to keep quiet.
Mrs. Nan blinked, not fully understanding. Her cousin happened to come back from outside. “Hi, Eldest Aunt.” “Hi.” Mrs. Nan’s attention was diverted.
Nan Ge greeted her second brother and was about to leave when she was stopped at the door.
“Youyou, are you going out?”
“Yes.” Nan Ge looked up at her second brother. “Where are you going? I’ll drive you.”
“No need. I’ll just—”
“It’s not safe to take a taxi so late at night,” Second Brother said again. Nan Ge hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Thank you, Second Brother.” Her car was not nearby. It had been parked at the same place when she came back from school. She had not driven to the old residence, so she definitely had to take a taxi now.
She usually did not interact much with her cousin and did not have a good relationship with him when she was young. No matter what, he was still a blood relation, so it was definitely safer than taking a taxi..
