Chapter 236: Wait A Little More
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the day the postgraduate examination ended, Nan Ge was still in a daze when she came out of the examination hall.
She did not feel relieved. She followed the crowd out. Other than the sound of footsteps, she could not hear any other noise. It was as if no one had spoken the entire time.
Until she saw Shen Yanqing.
The man was wearing a coat and the gray scarf she had given him previously. He caught her petite figure in the crowd at a glance and waved his hand in the air.
Nan Ge ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.
“Oh no. Oh no. I feel like I failed the exam.” She could no longer control her emotions. She pressed her forehead against his chest and gently bumped it.
“Of course not.”
Shen Yanqing protected her in his arms, afraid that a passerby would bump into her. He patted her back and comforted her. “Don’t think too much after the exam. Just wait for the results. You have to believe in yourself.”
After comforting her for a long time, Nan Ge’s mood improved a little.
On the way back, Nan Ge sat in the passenger seat and stared at the strawberry-flavored candied hawthorn in her hand in a daze.
Shen Yanqing glanced sideways. “Aren’t you eating?
She had been looking at it for almost half an hour.
Nan Ge was not in the mood to eat now. She put down her hand and looked away. “What do you think I should do if I don’t get in? Should I go for it again?
That would be too tiring…”
Before Shen Yanqing could answer, she continued, “But I’ve been preparing for so long. I’m a little unwilling to let it go just like that.”
The man held her hand with his free hand. He did not say anything else except,
“You’ll get in.”
Nan Ge turned her head. Shen Yanqing trusted her very much.
He trusted her more than she trusted herself.
That night, Nan Ge, who had been suffering from insomnia for three consecutive days, finally had a good night’s sleep.
After the winter break began, Nan Ge received a call from Yu as soon as she returned to Jiang City. He asked her out for dinner.
There were not many people in the Japanese restaurant at this time. It was a good place to sit down with good friends, drink wine, and chat.
“Why are you so unhappy?” Yu poured her a glass of sake. Although he asked, he knew what Nan Ge was thinking. “Aren’t you done with your exams? Why are you still so tense?”
Nan Ge cupped her face and sighed. “The preliminary test results are in a month.”
“What’s there to worry about? President Shen has been tutoring you the entire time. How can you not get in?”
‘What if?” Nan Ge was not so anxious during the college entrance examination.
“Then try again next year.” Yu calmly picked up some food. “If you really can’t get in, change your target.”
Nan Ge rolled her eyes. “That’s easy for you to say. Would my brother agree?”
Yu replied, “Kneel down and beg him then.”
Nan Ge,
Nan Ge did not have an easy winter break. Nan Zhe deliberately wanted to divert her attention and especially lured her to the company to do odd jobs. sne was alreac1Y Dusy at tne ena or tne year. Alter entertamng Nan zne SIX times in two days, Nan Ge ran away.
She felt that it was better not to divert her attention.
After the company officially went on holiday, Nan Zhe brought Nan Ge to the capital to visit her little uncle and take a look at Nan Ge’s newly renovated place.
The furniture had not yet been placed inside, and the apartment was small but spacious. Nan Zhe was very satisfied with it.
Nan Ge carefully took a few photos and sent them to Shen Yanqing.
“Why didn’t Shen Yanqing come with you?” Their little uncle had something on and came a little late. His cheeks were rosy. It was obvious that he had just finished drinking and had just come over from some other appointment.
“He’s been busy with the marital home for the past two days.” Nan Ge put her phone in her pocket and turned around to point at the wall beside her. She communicated with the designer again.
“When’s your wedding?”
Little Uncle was drunk. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time but could not remember. He could only give up.
“August,” Nan Zhe replied. “Didn’t I tell you last time? Remember to make time in advance.”
His little uncle sighed as he turned on his phone and muttered, “I have to write it down in the memo.’
“You can’t even remember such an important thing. You’re indeed old.” Nan Zhe did not let go of any opportunity to mock him.
Their little uncle raised his foot and was about to kick him. “Is this my fault? Among the four children of the Nan family, the first three are still unmarried, but the youngest one is getting married first. In my memory, Nan Ge is still a child. As the eldest brother, aren’t you going to reflect on yourself” Nan Ge immediately pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what her brother would say.
Unexpectedly, Nan Zhe was silent for a while and did not say a word.
Their little uncle also felt that something was wrong. He leaned over and placed his hand on his shoulder. “Are you still with the same girl?”
“Yes, we’re dating.”
“Then it should be your turn soon, right?”
“There’s no hurry to get married.”
Their little uncle sneered. “You can only comfort yourself with these words.”
Only her little uncle dared to stab Nan Zhe’s heart. Nan Ge did not dare to speak at this moment and could only eavesdrop.
This Spring Festival was different from last year. Nan Ge had moved into the Shen family’s old residence the night before New Year’s Eve.
In the ancestral hall, she imitated Shen Yanqing and knelt on the futon.
“Slow down. Don’t fall.” Shen Yanqing was shocked to see her bend her knees and land hard. He quickly helped her up.
Nan Ge did not dare to speak here. She agreed to whatever Shen Yanqing said and knelt down with him to offer incense.
After it was over, she asked softly, “Shen Yanqing, is the memorial tablet on the left your grandfather?”
She recognized the name on it.
Shen Yanqing helped her up from the futon and replied with a smile, “Yes. However, he’s also your grandfather now. ”
After the New Year, Nan Ge pulled Shen Yanqing and drove to the temple 200 kilometers away to pray for blessings. Everyone said that this place was very effective and her results were about to be released, so she was hoping to get some good fortune.
Putting aside whether it worked or not, after coming down from the mountain
that day, Nan Ge caught a cold.
It was quite serious.
Mr. Shen kept criticizing Shen Yanqing. “Why did you have to choose such bad weather to go up the mountain?
Nan Ge wanted to say that it was actually her idea, but Shen Yanqing did not give her the chance and silently helped her take the blame.
Nan Ge had been sick for an entire week and had not recovered. “Let’s go to the hospital for an IV drip. It’ll get worse if this drags on.”
After taking medicine for a week, she was still the same. Shen Yanqing regretted not bringing her to the hospital earlier.
“Or should I call the doctor?”
On the bed, Nan Ge was nestled under the blanket. After hearing what he was saying, she raised the cup higher to cover half her head and said gloomily,
“You can’t delay anymore.” Shen Yanqing did not want to listen to her this time.
He attempted to lift the blanket on her body. Nan Ge exclaimed and grabbed it tightly without letting go.
Shen Yanqing did not fight her head-on. When she turned over, he reached his hand into the blanket through the gap at the side and grabbed her waist to pull her into his arms.
After he held her, Nan Ge simply stopped running. She hugged his waist and whined. “No, I’ll be fine soon. Wait a little longer.”
Shen Yanqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re the one who’s sick.
How can we wait?”
“I don’t care and I don’t mind. I’ll be angry if you take me for an injection.” Nan Gel s head was dizzy, and she could not win against him. She could only act coquettishly..
