Chapter 224: Just Like Me
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lights were flickering at the exit of the passageway from afar as if they were guiding something.
Nan Ge stood rooted to the ground and hesitated for a few seconds before taking this step.
The penguin enclosure was very big here, and the road to the exit was a little long. Nan Ge walked faster and faster, turning from walking to jogging.
She was unafraid of being alone here, but her intuition told her that Shen Yanqing was waiting for her in front.
He had been waiting for her for a long time.
Not just today.
When Nan Ge ran to the exit, it was as if she was in a dream. The dazzling light shone on her, forcing her to stop.
She panted, her chest heaving.
Under the interweaving blurry light and shadow, she suddenly realized that the path she had come from had changed.
Flowers bloomed on both sides of the road. In this special season, the roses were delicate and beautiful, with a few drops of dew.
Nan Ge was shocked, but she only thought that this was a long-planned birthday surprise. She did not think that there was anything else unexpected waiting for her.
She exhaled. When she snapped out of her thoughts, she realized that she had not seen Shen Yanqing.
No, no, he was allergic to pollen.
These flowers…
She suddenly looked up. At this moment, the light in front of her suddenly dimmed, giving her a chance to see everything in the distance.
At the end of the road, the man had changed out of his coat and was standing there with a bouquet of roses in his suit.
He was silent as his gaze landed on her.
It was as if at this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.
Nan Ge still did not realize what was so special about this. Her attention had changed from the birthday surprise to Shen Yanqing’s allergy to pollen.
Why did he have to carry the flowers? She did not want to go to the hospital tonight!
With that thought in mind, she walked towards him with obvious worry on her face.
However, before she could take a few steps, the person opposite her suddenly said, “Wait.”
With that, he walked towards her.
Nan Ge stopped in her tracks and stood rooted to the ground.
She watched him approach her.
“Why did you prepare flowers?” Nan Ge only came back to her senses when he handed her the roses. She did not take them but snatched them away.
“How are you feeling?”
She asked worriedly as she retreated with the flowers. “I’d better stay away from you first. Why are you…”
Just as she was about to retreat, he grabbed her wrist.
Nan Ge leaned back. In the next second, she was pulled back in front of him.
After stabilizing herself, she was a little angry. How could this person not cherish his health at all?
He was clearly very delicate, but he still wanted to court death.
What was he trying to do? Was he trying to be romantic with utter disregard for his life?
She had a bunch of words to say and could not wait to scold him. However, when her gaze landed on his hand, her gaze froze.
The man’s cold and fair skin was red from the cold.
She could have come out earlier, but because she wanted to look around more, she stayed inside for a while longer.
He had been standing outside with the flowers for at least half an hour.
He was not even wearing a coat!
Nan Ge reached out and touched his arm. His suit jacket was stiff from the wind, but she could still feel how thin the fabric was.
“Aren’t you cold?” She called his full name anxiously. When her hand slid down, she accidentally touched the back of his hand.
The next second, as if she had been scalded, her fingers curled up uncontrollably.
She looked up in shock. “Y-y-y-you!”
She took the initiative to hold his hand. She was clearly afraid of the cold, but she still held his frozen hand tightly.
“Come on. Let’s go. Where’s your coat? Where did you put it? With your physique, something will definitely happen tonight!
“Do you want to die?”
“My jacket… Sigh. You can’t wear it either. ” Nan Ge pulled him away, but Shen Yanqing reacted quickly and grabbed her hand. “I’m not cold. Don’t worry.” “Aren’t you cold?” Nan Ge felt that his head must have been frozen.
“Thank you for everything. Let’s go. We can continue being romantic after getting home! ”
This old man was crazier than her sometimes.
Seeing that he could not stop her, Shen Yanqing simply let go.
When the force disappeared, Nan Ge was forced to stop. She turned around and looked at him. “What are you doing?”
She was confused.
The man only smiled and said, “I haven’t given you a birthday gift yet. ”
The weather today was already below zero.
When he spoke, he could still see the white breath he exhaled.
Nan Ge choked.
Shen Yanqing raised his hand, took out a box, and handed it to her. “I know you like shiny things. I asked your brother and he said that you happen to lack rubies in your jewelry box. I hope you like them.”
Nan Ge had a hobby of collecting jewelry.
Although she usually did not wear them much, she did have a lot of good stuff at home.
Part of it was from her parents, and the other part was from Nan Zhe.
This ruby was very expensive. The similar pigeon blood red ruby she saw at the auction two years ago was worth nearly ten million yuan.
As for this one…
She seriously suspected that Shen Yanqing had been tricked by Nan Zhe.
She did not have a ruby, but did Nan Zhe have to suggest something so expensive? Shen Yanqing believed everything Nan Zhe said.
After complaining about Nan Zhe in her heart, Nan Ge did not hesitate anymore. She accepted the gift and told him she liked it.
Although she was stunned, more importantly, she had to bring Shen Yanqing home as soon as possible. No, he should go straight to the hospital.
She wondered if he had taken his medicine in advance.
“Alright, alright. I’ll take it home and slowly admire it. Can we go back now?”
She tried her best to free her hand to hold his hand, but she could not catch it. When she turned around, she saw the tall man behind her finally move. Under
For a moment, Nan Ge seemed to be nailed to the ground. It was as if a real-time bullet screen had opened in her mind, and all kinds of questions kept flashing across her mind.
[What’s going on? What else does he want?]
[Huh? Was there more to this? Who taught him that?]
[Wait, he’s kneeling on one knee… No way, no way, right? Is it what I think it is? This can’t be it, right?]
“You, you… Get up and talk.” Her brain short-circuited. When she reacted, she wanted to help him up immediately.
How could Shen Yanqing give her this chance?
“Little Nan, can you give me a little more time? I still have something to say to you.”
His voice successfully made Nan Ge retract her hand.
It had indeed been a long time since she had heard him call her that.
Time suddenly reversed, as if they had returned to that fateful winter.
She could still remember the soft and delicate words that she kept looking at and could remember them to this day.
Shen Yanqing took out the velvet box that he had been holding in his pocket for a long time. As he opened it, he said, “It was quite a coincidence. I thought that I might not be able to find such a suitable ring in a short period of time. I asked someone to look around for a long while, but I was not satisfied.” “But it turned up at the London auction last week. I think it appeared just for you.”
“Just like me..”
