Let’s have a meal together, and then I’ll have the housekeeper drive you back!” Shu Ying also said. Initially, she didn’t know where An Qi lived, so she couldn’t arrange for someone to pick her up. Now that An Qi had helped so much, it would be too impolite to let her go back by herself.
“No, thank you, Auntie and Ye Ling. I… well… someone is coming to pick me up.”
An Qi lowered her head, stammering in response. Looking at her blushing appearance, Ye Ling couldn’t help but think of the “Yan Qing senior” that An Qi often mentioned at school.
“Is it… Yan Qing senior?” Ye Ling tilted her head and asked after a moment.
“Ah? Um, yes…”
An Qi’s response seemed to twist and turn.
“Mother, don’t worry then! An Qi, I’ll see you off.” Ye Ling took An Qi’s hand and walked a few steps before whispering, “But a girl still needs to take good care of herself…”
“…Hehe.”
Ye Ling still held her original thoughts that even with a boyfriend, one must pay attention to self-respect and self-love… She wondered if her future boyfriend could successfully hold her hand or hug her before they got married.
After saying goodbye to Ye Ling, An Qi saw a somewhat familiar car parked under the tree across the iron gate – it seemed to be the car Yan Qing drove that day when they went to the “A.M. Water Park”!
After confirming, An Qi quickly ran over, opened the door, and leaned in to look at the driver…
As she leaned in, her chin was suddenly pinched.
Yan Qing’s face was inches away, his pitch-black eyes looking directly at her.
“You’re one minute and twenty-three seconds late, An Qi…”
Yan Qing’s low voice softly sounded in her ear, disrupting An Qi’s originally calm world like sudden raindrops.
“…Sorry… sorry.”
Feeling her chin freed, An Qi quickly sat in the passenger seat, hugging her bag, sitting motionless and staring straight ahead, like a well-behaved child.
She wondered if it was just her imagination… why did Yan Qing seem especially “S” today…
Yan Qing glanced at the daydreaming An Qi, helplessly curving his mouth, and leaned forward.
