Chapter 174: Looking at Someone Else Through Him
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Yanqing naturally had no objections.
Seeing that he agreed, Nan Ge continued to watch the video of his previous competition in satisfaction.
Previously, Shen Yanqing had always been the fourth speaker on the debate team.
It was the same as Nan Ge now.
The boy in the video also looked young. After introducing himself and greeting everyone, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. His fingers holding the microphone were slender and fair.
This was Shen Yanqing during his university days.
This was the first time she had seen it.
She had always thought that with Shen Yanqing’s personality, he should have been very mature and steady since he was young. However, that was not the case.
Nan Ge could not help but wonder where she was when Shen Yanqing was in university.
Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have been in primary school at that time.
They were eight years apart.
Nan Ge had never thought of this number specifically before.
Previously, when her brother mentioned the age difference between her and Shen Yanqing, she had a nonchalant expression. It was only eight years, and there was not much difference. It was not illegal.
It was still within an acceptable range.
But now that she thought about it, she could not speak properly when she first met Shen Yanqing, and Shen Yanqing was already a high school student.
Looking at the difference between university and elementary school now, she felt that the difference between them was not eight years alone, but they were a century apart.
When she first entered primary school, she felt that university was so far away from her, like an unknown existence. It was a future that she might not reach.
This was the distance between her and Shen Yanqing.
This was the first time Nan Ge had examined this question so seriously.
Although it was a little late to think about this, her mind had always been filled with twists and turns, so she did not care.
It had already been an hour since Shen Yanqing helped Nan Ge edit the manuscript. He could not help but recall his university days. He did not seem to have prepared his manuscript as seriously as he did now.
He took off his glasses and casually placed them beside the manuscript. The moment he looked up, he happened to meet Nan Ge’s fixed gaze.
The little girl cupped her face, tilted her head, and looked at him through the computer screen between them.
When he looked over, there was no change in the little girl’s eyes, as if she did not notice that he had already looked over.
Startled, he felt inexplicably nervous under her gaze.
Judging from her posture, she had been silently observing him for a long time.
After adjusting his sitting posture, he looked up at her again.
This time, he finally realized that the little girl did not seem to be looking at him…
She seemed to be looking at someone else through her eyes.
Realizing this, Shen Yanqing frowned. His heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, causing him to be in so much pain that he did not dare to breathe hard.
What followed was a complete loss.
Another person?
“Ahem.” He could not suppress his emotions at this moment and tried to pull Nan Ge back to reality.
Hearing the cough, Nan Ge immediately looked at him.
Her gaze was clearly on him from the beginning to the end, but at this moment, Shen Yanqing felt that she had retracted her gaze from another person to look at him.
When Nan Ge looked at Shen Yanqing, her body stiffened slightly. The two of them looked at each other. She did not know why, but she vaguely felt that Shen Yanjing’s expression was a little strange.
He usually did not show his emotions on his face. At this moment, he was also smiling faintly, but he felt distant.
“Have you finished reading my manuscript?” She raised her chin and reached for the manuscript he had placed on the table.
There were some marks on it with a pen. He had probably just helped her change it.
She was about to pick it up and take a closer look when he grabbed her hand that was holding the paper. He was still looking at her with a calm gaze as if he was not the one who suddenly held her hand.
Nan Ge kept leaning forward and subconsciously retracted her hand, but she was unable to budge.
“Huh?”
“What were you thinking about just now?”
Nan Gets thoughts were written all over her face. She did not have the ability to hide it and could not be bothered to do it.
Therefore, when she was asked, she would always tell the truth. After all, she was always seen through.
“This.” She tapped the computer screen with her other hand. When she realized that he couldn’t see it, she turned the screen to his side.
On the screen, the young man was wearing the same clothes as the three
people beside him and looking at the camera with a smile. The scene froze at this moment and was pressed to pause.
Nan Ge had admired it for a long time.
Of course, Shen Yanqing knew who it was, but he still did not understand. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Seeing that he did not understand what she meant, Nan Ge exclaimed as if she was whispering to him. She lowered her voice and said, “You were really young back then. ”
‘ Shen Yanqing subconsciously looked at another computer at the side. The screen was dark, and his current facial features could be seen vaguely reflecting off it.
After a pause, he turned around and looked at himself on the screen. He was still a university student. He pursed his lips.
He was indeed young.
There was no way to refute it.
“Uh, I’m not talking about how you are now. I’m just saying that you were just like me back then.” Sensing that his expression had darkened again, Nan Ge explained with a strong desire to live. “You’re very handsome now, but when you were a university student, you were young and energetic. This is the first time I’ve seen you like that.”
“I suddenly feel a little regretful.”
This sentence piqued Shen Yanqing’s curiosity. “Why?”
“Because you’ve seen me when I was young and when I was in university, but I’ve never seen the same for you before. Of course, we met when you were in high school, but I was still young at that time and can’t remember at all.”
“That’s why I feel a little regretful. Moreover, you should have been an influential figure when you were in university. You’re a top student and the main force of the school debate team. There should be many people who like you, right?”
Nan Ge did not realize that her words sounded sour.
Just as her brother had said, Shen Yanqing was eight years older than her. It was indeed surprising that he had never been in a relationship for so many years.
For a dazzling person like Shen Yanqing, he should have received a lot of love letters, right?
He had a good family background, a good personality, and was a good student with a handsome face. He was good at everything. Who could control themselves?
In high school, she felt that it was reasonable for Shen Yanqing to study hard and not fall in love at a young age. But in university…
Nan Ge remained suspicious.
It turned out that what her brother had said earlier was not unreasonable.
“I didn’t believe my brother when he said it before. Now that I think about it, it’s abnormal for you not to date in university.” Nan Ge frowned and puffed up her cheeks as she looked at him angrily. “Did I really get into a wolf’s den?” Shen Yanqing smiled sadly and tightened his grip on her hand. “I really didn’t.”
“I didn’t fall in love when I was studying, and I didn’t date anyone after I started working either.”
“Why?”
Nan Ge did not understand.
The girls around Shen Yanqing were naturally not bad.
“It just didn’t dawn on me.”
“Didn’t you like anyone at all? Not the slightest?”
Shen Yanqing thought about it seriously and shook his head. “No.”
“What about those who like you? Are there so many that they can line up from the main school gate to the back door?”
