Chapter 162: Then Touch It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qi Yan choked. Thinking of how much strength she had used in that kick just now, she took a step forward nervously. “Are you alright?”
“You tell me.”
Nan Zhe looked like he wanted to blackmail her.
Qi Yan’s hands were trembling. “Why don’t we go to the hospital?”
It really hurt, but there was no need to go to the hospital.
Nan Zhe rubbed his wrist. “I’m fine.”
He let her go just like that.
“Are you really fine? Why don’t you take off your coat and show me?”
Hearing this, Nan Zhe looked at her teasingly. “You just rejected me and now you want me to take off my clothes. That’s not good, right?”
Seeing that she was silent, Nan Zhe did not tease her.
“I’m really fine. How can a man be crippled after being kicked? I’m not some frail woman. ”
Qi Yan nodded and grabbed the strap of her satchel. She asked slowly, “Did you come with Nan Ge?”
“No. I was worried about her coming out alone, so I came to look for her. She didn’t say she wanted to see you.”
She wanted to cover it up. “We just chatted casually. Nothing much.”
“Whatever.” Nan Zhe shrugged, clearly not concerned about this. “You don’t have to tell me what you were chatting about. It’s your freedom.”
“It’s getting late. Go back. Is it that building in front? I won’t send you there. I’ll watch you here.”
Qi Yan’s words froze on the tip of her tongue. “Alright.” She nodded. “You should go back too.”
“Yeah.”
After getting a response, she turned around.
Nan Zhe stood behind her and quietly watched her back. She was not in a hurry to leave. She looked up into the distance and looked at something.
The two of them tacitly did not disturb each other.
There seemed to be only the sound of the wind in their ears.
Nan Zhe’s throat felt itchy and he suddenly wanted to smoke.
Qi Yan’s back was facing him. After coming to a decision, she exhaled heavily. Just as Nan Zhe was hesitating about lighting a cigarette, she turned around.
“Brother Nan, I want to apologize to you. I was a little harsh on the phone that day. My mind was a little confused at that time, so I said it without thinking.”
It was not the first time she had met Nan Zhe, and it was not like she did not Imow his personality.
Even so, she still said those words so specifically. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like she did it on purpose.
For the past few days, every time she thought of it, she wanted to slap herself.
So be it if she wanted to reject him. Why did she have to say the last sentence? It was not right at all.
“What else?” His dark eyes were extremely calm as if he did not care.
Qi Yan did not move.
He asked, “Other than that, do you have anything else to tell me?” After a while, Qi Yan continued, “We’re still friends, right?”
Seeing him nod slightly, Qi Yan felt as if she had been pardoned.
However, in the next second, she heard him mutter, “Although I don’t like what I hear.”
Her heart skipped a beat. She gritted her teeth and faced the question for the first time. “Brother Nan, it’s better for me to explain clearly.”
“It’s really impossible between us. I admit that you’re very outstanding. I knew it even before meeting you ten years ago. At that time, I heard a lot about you from Yuan Chi, so I know what kind of person you are.”
“We even became so close after that, so I Imow the distance between us better than anyone else.”
“This distance is something I can’t shorten regardless of the length of time, including now and even in the decades to come.”
“On the surface, we’re only a step away. But I know in my heart and you should understand. In fact, there are many innumerable steps between us.”
“I don’t have the ability to catch up to you for the time being, nor do I have the courage to stand by your side.”
“I’m just an ordinary person. I’m small and inconspicuous. There are many people like me on the streets out there.”
“It’s not that you’re not good enough in any way. I don’t have the right to restrict you with those rules and regulations. I’ve always been the one with problems.”.
She was almost torturing herself.
After looking at him silently, she shook her head gently at him and called his name.
“Nan Zhe, it’s not worth it.”
Pursing her lips, she did not dare to look into his eyes again. She looked away in a panic. “Brother Nan, your arm might have bruises. Go back and apply some medicine so that it won’t hurt too much.”
Qi Yan did not want to say this to Nan Zhe.
After saying this, she had to be prepared to completely cut ties with Nan Zhe.
She had thought that tonight would be the beginning of the end of the cold war, but she did not expect it to be like this.
“Are you done? Is that all?” Nan Zhe put his hand in his pocket and raised his eyebrows as he asked.
“So it’s my turn?”
Qi Yan was stunned.
Why was his expression unusually normal?
“After talking for so long, it’s a bunch of nonsense.” He tilted his head and lit his cigarette. His expression did not change. “There’s not a single thing I like to hear, and not a single word is useful.”
Qi Yan,
“I…” She opened her mouth.
Nan Zhe did not want to listen to her nonsense. He raised his hand to stop her. “You don’t have to repeat anything. I still have my ears and can hear you clearly. I’m just asking.”
This time, his expression finally became serious. “It’s not that you don’t like me, right?”
Through the lingering smoke, Qi Yan saw his calm eyes lock onto her figure. “That’s not important.” Qi Yan sighed. “Between us…”
Before she could finish speaking, the man stubbed out his cigarette and grabbed her wrist roughly to pull her in front of him. “Is it not important just because you say so?”
“Why didn’t I know you like to say such nonsense before?”
“I heard everything you said just now. I don’t want to hear any more of this now.”
“I’ll only ask you this. Do you like me or not? I’ll let you go after answering!”
Qi Yan widened her eyes and was forced to look up at him.
This position seemed as though she was being held in his arms.
It was too close.
She choked and insisted on going against him. “I don’t like you.”
Nan Zhe narrowed his black eyes and suddenly smiled. “You’re stubborn. How can you not like someone like me? Then why is your heart beating so fast?” As he spoke, his fingers on her wrist caressed her teasingly.
“Oh, or are you saying that you do this when you see your other good friends?”
He deliberately said this with a sarcastic tone. It was very similar to the tone he used when he saw her walking with Yuan Chi in school.
“My heart is beating fast because you suddenly pulled me over and scared me!” Qi Yan was really angry.
“Is that so?” Nan Zhe clicked his tongue. “I thought your heart would only beat faster when you see someone you like.” Qi Yan blushed. “Says who?!”
“You. ”
‘What?”
“When I saw you, my heart was beating like this.”
“You don’t believe me?” His eyebrows moved. He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest through the jacket. “Then touch it and see if it jumps faster than yours..”
