Chapter 169: What if I Happened to Meet Another Big Brother?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When someone knocked on the door, Shen Yanqing was still in a daze.
He got up, composed himself, and walked over to open the door.
When the door opened, Nan Ge stuck her head in and smiled at him. “Good morning!”
Shen Yanqing was stunned and suddenly met the face of the little girl in his memory.
It turned out that they had really met before.
Youyou… So that was the name.
He vaguely remembered before he could send the young lady back that day, a figure came to look for her. It was the butler.
When the young lady left, she reluctantly turned around to look at him.
Why did he not remember it? It was because he thought that they had only met by chance and did not take it to heart. He did not expect it to be Nan Ge.
“Huh? What’s wrong?” Seeing that he was staring at her in a daze, Nan Ge raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
The light in front of him flashed. Shen Yanqing quickly came back to his senses and smiled.
He wanted to ask Nan Ge if she remembered their encounter, but on second thought, Nan Ge was still young at that time. He almost did not remember, let alone Nan Ge.
After breakfast, the butler washed the fruits and placed them on the table.
“Mr. Shen, please try some. These peaches were just flown in this morning.
They’re very fresh.”
Before Shen Yanqing could speak, he heard Nan Ge reject him. “He can’t eat peaches. He’s allergic.”
On the other side, Old Master Nan heard this and was a little surprised. “You’re allergic to peaches?”
“Yes.” Shen Yanqing smiled and agreed. “Although it’s not particularly serious, I’m indeed allergic.”
His allergy to peaches was indeed not serious compared to his alcohol allergies.
However, speaking of peach allergies, he remembered something about his encounter with Nan Ge…
That day, he carried the little girl to the nearby imported goods supermarket. He thought that the little girl would definitely be attracted by all kinds of snacks once she entered. In the end, after walking around, the little girl finally took a fancy to the only beautifully wrapped big peach left on the shelf.
He vaguely remembered that the peach was the size of both his fists.
“Wow, this looks like the peach that Sun Wukong ate!” The little girl’s eyes were wide open.
He bought another bottle of water and washed the peach for the little girl.
He still remembered that on the way back, the little girl was nestled in his arms and eating a big peach seriously.
“Brother, do you want to try it? It’s so sweet!”
“Do you want to take a bite? I haven’t eaten this side yet.”
On the way back, he realized that it was not that this young lady did not like to talk. Instead, she was a little talkative. It was as if she could talk to herself without him responding.
She was too enthusiastic. Afraid that she would be sad, he finally took a bite at the side.
It was only after he returned to Huai City that he realized that he was allergic. Because it was not very serious, he only realized that he had rashes when he took a shower at night.
Before that, it was a coincidence that he did not like fruits to begin with and usually ate very little. He had not touched peaches for more than ten years.
Other guests came in the morning. Nan Ge took Shen Yanqing to the courtyard for a walk.
As soon as the two of them sat down in the pavilion in the backyard, the old butler brought tea and snacks over.
“I suddenly remembered where I saw you this morning.”
Hearing Shen Yanqing’s words, the old butler and Nan Ge looked up at the same time.
Nan Ge did not know what he was talking about, but the old butler was interested and asked curiously, “So where did we meet, Mr. Shen?”
“I don’t know if you remember Nan Ge sneaking out once when she was very young. When you found her later, she happened to be carried back by a boy in a school uniform.”
“Do you still remember? I remember that it should have been around the end of
August.”
“…” Nan Ge exclaimed. Why didn’t she know about this?
He turned to look at the old butler. The latter pondered for a while and nodded.
“I think so.”
With that, the old butler took a closer look at Shen Yanqing’s facial features.
After so many years, he could not remember clearly.
He had no impression of what the young man looked like. He only remembered that the young man was also wearing glasses and dressed in a blue and white school uniform. He was thin and tall…
“W-was it you?”
Shen Yanqing nodded and chuckled. “I only remembered this morning.”
“Oh my, this is fate.” The old butler really did not expect this story. “I knew you mentioned seeing me before last night, but I didn’t have any impression of this. So it was more than ten years ago.”
“It’s a long time ago. I didn’t expect to see Nan Ge at that time.”
As the old butler poured tea for them, he smiled and said, “I remember that at that time, Young Master was on summer break and came here with Miss to stay for a while. At that time, Miss was still very clingy to Young Master. Young Master coaxed Miss to sleep and slipped out to play basketball with his friends.
Miss seemed to have woken up and couldn’t find him, so she slipped out.” “It scared the shit out of me.”
“I seem to remember that I was in a hurry to bring Miss home and didn’t thank you properly. Later on, after carrying Miss home, Miss stuffed a bag of candy into my hands and insisted that I chase after you. Unfortunately, when I went out, you had already gotten into the car and left.”
“After Old Master found out, he wanted to visit you to thank you. I thought that you lived nearby and kept an eye out for you, but we didn’t see you again.” “As time passed, I forgot about this matter.”
“Were you a guest at a relative’s house back then?” the butler asked.
“No.” Shen Yanqing did not hide anything and said bluntly, “My mother lives nearby. That year, she and my father were discussing a divorce, so I came to look for her. Later on, they separated. My mother has been overseas, so I never came here.”
“I see…”
The two of them chatted enthusiastically, and Nan Ge was confused.
When the old butler left, she had just finished eating a snack. Shen Yanqing looked away from afar and met Nan Ge’s questioning gaze.
She pursed her lips and did not speak, but Shen Yanqing understood what she meant, so he explained what he had just talked to the butler about.
After listening carefully, the expression on Nan Ge’s face could no longer be described as a mere surprise.
“Are you serious?” She had some doubts about the authenticity of the story.
“Are you sure you were carrying me and not someone else’s little girl?” “What if you remembered wrongly?”
He chuckled helplessly. “Then what about the butler? Surely he couldn’t have remembered wrongly, right?”
“What if I happened to meet another big brother as well?”
Shen Yanqing was speechless. Why were there so many “what ifs”?
He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea to suppress his indescribable emotions. It took him a while to deny her. “I think the probability of such a situation is usually not high.”
Nan Ge bit her finger and looked at him strangely.
“What’s wrong?”
“But I don’t remember anything you said.”
“You were still young at that time, so it’s normal that you don’t remember. It’s okay. I can remember for the both of us..”
