"What a coincidence! I never expected to see you here, buying late-night snacks?"

Su Ke was somewhat surprised to see Liu Nian here, and a hint of surprise flashed across his usually cool expression.

Su Ke frowned: "Why are you still out so late?"

Liu Nian placed her hand on the car window, gently resting her chin on the back of her hand, and said with a wry smile, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a drive."

Su Ke: "..." He actually saw a look of loneliness on her face!

Liu Nian has always given him the impression of a strong woman. When it comes to her work, there is no project that she cannot handle as long as she takes the lead.

In addition, every time Su Ke saw Liu Nian, she was confident and flamboyant, and Su Ke had never seen her with any expression other than a smile.

"It's getting late, we should head back!"

Liu Nian looked at the two late-night snacks in his hand and asked, "Why are you packing two late-night snacks? Are they for a friend? A guy or a girl? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No!" He answered almost immediately after Liu Nian asked, as if afraid that Liu Nian might misunderstand something: "I live with Xiao Yang, and I brought it for him."

Liu Nian's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "Do you live around here?"

Su Ke nodded: "Mm."

"Did you just get back from work?"

She was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

She was just told during the day that she had to work at night, and now she's asking this question again.

However, Su Ke did not feel impatient.

"I just got off work not long ago." He glanced at his watch; it was almost three o'clock. "It's not really convenient to invite you up for a bit at this time."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll be back in a bit, you go on upstairs!"

Su Ke nodded and turned to leave.

Liu Nian called him back again.

"Um, my sister said she'd treat you to dinner during the day, when are you free?"

Su Ke really didn't understand why Liu Nian kept trying to invite him to dinner. He wanted to ask, but he felt that asking would make the other person think he was narcissistic.

"Just let me know when you have time."

Liu Nian blinked and looked at him.

“I always have time.”

Aren't you busy with work?

Liu Nian nodded: "I haven't been too busy lately." Whether she's busy or not, nothing is more important than him!

Su Ke nodded. "Then you set a time. I'll go up first. Drive carefully."

That's exactly what she was waiting for. Liu Nian was overjoyed, her smile revealing eight pearly white teeth. "Then I'll give you an update tomorrow!"

"Um."

System: "Host, you're putting the other party in a bit too much of a bind."

Liu Nian: "If we keep dragging this out, do you even want to complete the mission?"

The system replied, "Whatever you say."

After going upstairs, Su Ke saw Xiao Yang standing by the window looking out.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yang had just finished hanging up the laundry when he glanced downstairs and was surprised to see Liu Nian.

"Ake, isn't that my older sister?"

Su Ke put the things on the table, walked over, and looked in the direction he had indicated.

The years had passed, and she was still downstairs, having already gotten out of the car.

She hasn't left yet! Su Ke's eyes flashed, and thinking of her dejected look just now, he felt a slight pang in his heart, and even felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Nian got off the bus a short while later, got back on, and the bus drove away.

Xiao Yang turned his attention back and said with some surprise, "Why is she here so late? It's not safe for a girl to be out alone at night! I have to remind her."

As she was saying this, she was about to go and get her phone when Su Ke called her back.

"Let's have a midnight snack first, it'll get cold soon."

Sure enough, as soon as food was mentioned, Xiao Yang changed direction and walked towards the table.
