Extra Chapter 13: Brother’s Story
This journey ended early. Qi Yan did not know how to face Nan Zhe, so she bought a plane ticket and left first.
From that day onwards, the two of them completely cut off all contact.
Nan Zhe had stayed there alone for a long time. It was so long that his family thought that he had lost contact and sent someone to look for him.
Nan Zhe did not tell anyone about his breakup with Qi Yan. After he returned to Jiang City, he continued working as if nothing had happened. He did not look like someone who had just broken up at all.
Nan Ge saw him a week after he returned.
Nan Zhe came to Huai University to deliver something to her. When they met, he was chatting and laughing as usual.
However, Nan Ge felt that something was wrong.
After holding it in for a while, she finally asked, “Brother, how have you been recently?”
“What?” Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows.
“Uh, I heard that you and Miss Qi Yan trended online. I was too busy recently and didn’t notice.”
“It’s a small matter. It’s all in the past.” He didn’t seem to care.
Seeing that he was in a good state, Nan Ge silently swallowed the rest of her words and did not ask further.
In the following days, Nan Zhe never mentioned Qi Yan again. Whether it was his family or friends, they could guess that they had broken up, but no one dared to talk to him about this topic. Even Nan Ge did not dare to ask. Regarding Qi Yan, Nan Ge saw her post on her Moments from overseas around the end of the year.
There were comments from Yuan Chi below, asking if she was filming overseas.
Qi Yan replied after a long time: [No, I came overseas to study for a few years.]
Seeing this, Nan Ge quickly opened her private message. After thinking about it a few times, she chatted with her about going overseas.
Qi Yan said: [At that time, that master felt that it was a pity after watching the show, so he gave me a chance to go over and learn together. ]
Nan Ge asked: [Then how long will it take for you to come back? Do you really have to stay for a few years?]
Qi Yan replied: [Yes. At least three years.]
[Does my brother know…] As soon as she finished typing, Nan Ge hesitated for a moment before deleting it and changing it to a blessing.
Ever since then, Qi Yan’s WeChat Moments had not been updated. Nan Ge and she only greeted each other on New Year’s Eve.
When Nan Ge got married, Qi Yan sent her a red packet as soon as she received the news, wishing her happiness.
The news that they had really broken up was after Nan Ge finished her postgraduate studies.
During a casual conversation, she finally dared to ask.
Nan Zhe acted very relaxed and admitted that they had indeed broken up.
“Then, did you know that she went abroad?”
Nan Zhe replied, “Yuan Chi told me.”
. For some reason, Nan Ge felt that this answer was so sad.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Nan Zhe knew that she was curious, so he told her the story of the proposal.
“Did your sudden proposal scare her?”
Nan Zhe shook his head, but he did not continue.
He only found out about his family looking for Qi Yan’s parents in private a long time later.
So long that… it was after their grandmother had already passed away.
He was like a headless fly. For a moment, he did not know who to blame. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he should blame himself the most.
Qi Yan had been overseas for six years.
During this period, she returned to the studio in Huai City and visited her parents. However, she did not stay long, as if she was deliberately avoiding someone.
She became famous overseas and became the personal disciple of that master. Nan Zhe also knew about it through his friends in the industry. His friends in the industry also said that Qi Yan’s “value” had also increased greatly. The people she worked with overseas were all A-list celebrities and top luxury brands. If he did another show at this time, Qi Yan could already become a mentor.
Nan Zhe had also heard the news of her return from Yuan Chi.
The party on the weekend night went on as usual. Yuan Chi arrived late. He looked around the private room and strode towards him. There was no one sitting around Nan Zhe, and there were several empty seats. Compared to the sofa opposite him, his place was quiet enough.
“Qi Yan is back!” As soon as Yuan Chi sat down, he could not wait to tell him the good news. “That was some kind of luck, right? I bumped into her when I came!”
Nan Zhe did not react. He lowered his head and drank without even stopping.
“Look, Brother Nan! Here, I secretly took a photo of her. Look!”
Seeing that he was unmoved, Yuan Chi even elbowed his arm and thoughtfully handed the phone to him.
He would only stop when he saw her.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a corner of the screen. Nan Zhe looked up, his eyes calm.
He looked up. The photo was not very clear. It was indeed taken secretly.
The other party turned sideways and he could vaguely recognize that it was Qi
Yan.
But…
The next second, when the photo got to her hair, Nan Zhe tightened his grip on the wine glass.
“She cut her hair short again. She hasn’t changed in the past few years. When I saw her, I thought we were back in school. But there’s a difference, right? Her hair is slightly longer than before. I remember that her hair only reached here before.”
Yuan Chi spoke to himself. Even if Nan Zhe did not speak, he was very engrossed in his words.
“Her parents moved back to Jiang City. She said that she’s been back for a week and has been busy with work in Huai City. She only had time to visit her parents today.”
At this point, Yuan Chi paused for a moment. Then, he put away his phone and looked at Nan Zhe strangely. He lowered his voice and asked, “Brother Nan, do you know that the matter with her father has been resolved?”
“Oh,” Nan Zhe finally replied, but he did not continue.
Yuan Chi smiled. “Wasn’t her father wronged back then? For some reason, the truth suddenly came out. The people involved in this matter back then came out to clarify. Don’t you think it’s strange? It’s been so many years, but these people actually have a conscience.”
Hearing this, Nan Zhe turned his head and met his eyes.
“Tsk, what are you trying to say?”
Yuan Chi chuckled and hooked his arm around his shoulder. “Brother Nan, it’s fine if you hide it from others. With our relationship, can’t you tell me the truth?”
Nan Zhe obviously did not want to talk to him and continued to drink. Yuan Chi shrugged as if he knew everything.
“Even if you didn’t say it, I would have guessed it. How can there be so many good people in this world? You must have been preparing for a long time. You didn’t do nothing. You tried to solve the problem at the root.”
However, this matter was not simple. It involved too many people. It was not something that could be resolved easily. “Brother Nan, have you ever thought about…’
Nan Zhe replied promptly, “No.”
“Sigh.” Yuan Chi still hoped that they could be together. He quickly persuaded her, “You’re single now, and you don’t have a family to stop you. Her father’s matter has been resolved, and she has a successful career. I even helped you find out that she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Therefore, everyone can be happy, so why do you have to torture each other? Are the two of you asking for a beating?”
“You’re not young anymore. I’m about to get married, but you’re still not together. You’re in such a bad relationship. As your friend, I can’t stand it.”
Nan Zhe was a little annoyed by his nagging.
“Why didn’t I know that you had the talent to be a matchmaker?”
Yuan Chi said, “If you could date another person over the years and not think about her so much, I definitely wouldn’t say this in front of you. We’re all brothers. Why would I make things difficult for you?”
“The reason why I mentioned it is because I think there’s still a chance for you two. There are still some snarks left between you two from back then. It might
look non-existent, but in fact, a gust of wind can set a prairie on fire..”
