Nan Ge still did not believe it, but since Shen Yanqing had said so, he could not be lying.
She thought about it carefully. There was indeed information that could be matched.
Firstly, Shen Yanqing’s mother did live here. Secondly, she had always come to the old residence with Nan Zhe when she was young. Thirdly, according to her brother’s unreliable temperament, it was very likely that he would leave her alone at home.
At the thought of this, Nan Ge could not help but call Nan Zhe over to confront him.
When he was invited over for tea, Nan Zhe was still on the phone. He only hung up when he reached the pavilion.
“What’s the matter?” He went forward and sat between the two of them. He casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peeled them in his hand. “Did you go to the apartment last night?”
“Yes,” Nan Ge replied. “Let’s not talk about this first. I have something else to ask you. ”
Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He calmly threw a melon seed into his mouth. “Yes?”
“When I lived here when I was young, did I almost get lost when I went out to look for you?”
“Huh?” Nan Zhe smiled with a hint of mockery. “You still remember this?”
“… It’s not that I remember but he does.” The angry little penguin pointed at the caretaker opposite her.
Nan Zhe looked in the direction she was pointing and was at a loss.
Shen Yanqing patiently repeated the story.
After hearing this, Nan Zhe had the same expression as Nan Ge.
Only then did Shen Yanqing realize that the two of them did not have much in common in terms of personality and appearance. However, when they were in a daze, they really looked like biological siblings.
“Did you hear the story from Old Master Nan and come up with some tall story for Nan Ge?”
Nan Zhe clearly did not believe him and even condemned his actions. “You’ve already gotten her. Why are you still telling a story to lie to her?”
“Actually, you don’t have to spend so much effort lying to her anymore. She’s devoted to you now. You have to be content, Shen Yanqing. You can’t be too greedy.”
After a moment of silence, Nan Zhe put down the melon seeds and took Shen Yanqing seriously. “Really?”
“Uh huh.”
“Good lord.” A certain someone gasped. Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing thought that he was surprised. Unexpectedly, he added, “Fortunately, the butler arrived in time. Otherwise, this girl would have ‘eloped’ with you.”
In Nan Zhe’s impression, there was indeed such a thing.
Ever since then, he rarely brought Nan Ge to the Old Master Nan’s place. Even if he did, he would not leave Nan Ge alone.
Even if he went to look for friends, he would bring Nan Ge along. When they played basketball, Nan Ge sat beside him and ate.
Children were easy to coax and she liked to stick to him. With just some snacks, she could sit there obediently for the entire afternoon. As long as he was around, she would not run around.
“Think about it carefully. You have to thank the old you for being able to be with Nan Ge now.”
That was true. Shen Yanqing nodded in agreement.
If he had not met Nan Ge at that time, he did not know where Nan Ge would have run to.
“But I don’t look like him. How could you mistake me for someone else?” Nan Zhe raised his hand and poked Nan Gel s head.
Most importantly, Shen Yanqing was in high school at that time. He should only be in junior high. Not to mention anything else, his height alone… Tsk tsk.
“…How would I know?” Nan Ge did not remember. She could only take Shen Yanqing’s word for this.
“Probably my clothes? I didn’t have time to change my uniform when I went over from school that day. Our high school uniform was blue and white.”
Nan Ge sat up straight and answered quickly, “Yes! My brother’s junior high school uniform has the same color.”
The junior high school she attended was the one Nan Zhe had attended before.
Thinking about how his sister had almost been kidnapped by this bastard more than ten years ago, Nan Zhe used some strength to open the walnuts. Those who did not know better would think that he was opening Shen Yanqing’s head.
Nan Ge was about to ease the atmosphere when Nan Zhe’s phone on the table suddenly lit up.
She subconsciously glanced at it.
The two words “Qi Yan” on the caller ID were especially eye-catching.
Her pupils constricted. Before she could look away, Nan Zhe grabbed his phone and stood up. He threw the freshly peeled walnuts to Nan Ge. “You two can hang here by yourselves. I’m leaving.”
As he spoke, he picked up the call and turned to leave quickly.
It was as if he was afraid that the two of them would overhear something. Nan Ge stuffed the walnut into her mouth and savored it carefully. “I feel that something’s wrong with him.”
Why did he have to run?
What paid content could they not listen to?
Shen Yanqing did not think that there was anything wrong with Nan Zhe. He felt that he was in the same state as usual.
Nan Ge said that he did not understand, so she told him about Nan Zhe’s fits of madness yesterday. “Yesterday, the entire family, no, even the cats and dogs in the courtyard realized that he was abnormal.”
“He didn’t sleep the entire night. In the afternoon, he went to catch up on his sleep and went downstairs in less than two hours. He was in high spirits the entire time. He seemed a little overexcited, but I don’t know what it was about.”
After thinking for a while, Shen Yanqing helped her solve the case and slowly analyzed it. “Then let’s work backward. Did he have anything to be happy about the day before yesterday?”
Without thinking, Nan Ge asked, “He got into an argument with your Mom. Does that count?”
. ‘ Shen Yanqing was speechless. “I doubt it was worthy of excitement.”
That’s true. Nan Ge touched her chin and thought for a moment. “I don’t think anything else happened then. That night, I went out with him to walk the cat. When we returned, he went upstairs to rest. The only minor episode was bumping into your mother. However, I secretly went out to see Sister Qi Yan that night. Then, early the next morning, he went crazy.”
“Secretly?” Shen Yanqing muttered this word. For some reason, he felt it had to be this. “Are you sure he didn’t know?”
Nan Ge nodded and quickly shook her head. “I don’t think so. Then again, I’m not entirely sure. I think I saw my brother that night.”
She suddenly remembered the familiar figure that night and the missed calls from her brother.
Normally, when her brother found out that she did not answer the phone, he would definitely not let it go.
At least after she replied, he would not let her off so easily.
However, that night, her brother only gave her a few perfunctory words and nothing else. Including the next morning, he did not mention anything about last night. Usually, he would ask her seriously which classmate she had gone to see. Was it junior high school or high school? No matter how big or small the encounter was.
But…
Nan Ge bit her finger and finally understood.
Nan Zhe had not been abnormal since morning, but that night. Specifically, he had become abnormal after she went to see Qi Yan. “So, does your brother know that you met Qi Yan?”
Alright, the case was solved.
However, Nan Ge had another question. “Then, if he knows, so be it. Why is he so abnormal?”
“Didn’t you say you saw him nearby that night? Is there a possibility that they’ve met too?”
“Huh?”
What did this mean?
