"What? You can't say anything? Can't it be a friend's introduction?"
Nan Ke didn't sleep well, and she felt a headache when she saw Su Shuo picking a fight for the first time in a long time.
"You're weird. Didn't you say Xing Chen was rigid and boring before and wanted to introduce me to someone new? Why are you so excited when someone of the opposite sex actually appears around me?"
"Can this be the same?"
Su Shuo rolled his eyes: "You really should have looked in the mirror when you said Quan Xiu's name."
Nan Ke was just about to ask what was different when his phone suddenly vibrated.
I didn’t expect it was Xing Chen calling.
I didn't expect it because it was weird.
Usually Xing Chen wouldn't call her directly at this time.
For some reason, Nan Ke felt a little guilty.
She picked up the phone without thinking.
Xing Chen asked her where she was. Before Nan Ke could answer, Xing Chen asked her if she was not at the art exhibition.
Nan Ke's eyelids twitched again: "How did you know?"
Xing Chen's voice sounded a little dejected: "Because I'm in the exhibition hall."
Nan Ke didn't say anything, and then heard Xing Chen speak again: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to come at the wrong time, and you and Su Shuo were not here."
"Um……"
Nan Ke cleared his throat and said, "I'm with Su Su. We just met a director and producer outside. Is your work over?"
"I've asked for leave." Xing Chen said, "I've only asked for one day off. I have to go back in the evening."
Nan Ke stroked the phone case and thought calmly.
Xing Chen asked her on the other end of the phone: "Baby, do you still have time to see me today?"
He smiled helplessly: "It seems that the idea of giving you a surprise doesn't apply to you and me."
"Nothing, I'm done."
Nan Ke glanced at Su Shuo, who had been watching the excitement nearby, and said, "I was supposed to go to the art exhibition this afternoon. Now I just need to ask Su Su for leave. She will approve it."
Su Shuo narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat amused.
"Then I'll come find you?"
"No, I'll pick you up soon."
After hanging up the phone, Su Shuo laughed twice: "Does this count as saving you once?"
Nan Ke ignored her and walked straight to the garage.
After taking two steps, he spoke: "Did you hear everything? I won't be going over this afternoon. He took a day off specifically to surprise me, and I can't leave him alone."
Su Shuo laughed twice more and continued with the previous topic: "Tsk tsk, if I hadn't argued with you for so long, you might have disappointed your boyfriend."
She shrugged. "It's hard to say, though. If you're friends with the little pianist, then there's nothing wrong with bringing your boyfriend along to have dinner with your friends, right?"
Nan Ke frowned and looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"
Su Shuo curled his lips, looking unhappy: "I'm worried about you!"
Nan Ke was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Xing Chen, I don't need to help you analyze it. You already know how much you mean to him. If he finds out that you're in love with someone else... don't let anyone get killed."
Nan Ke sighed: "I didn't..."
"Do you know it clearly in your heart? I'm just reminding you that if you know there's no such thing as a good breakup, you should think more about it in advance."
It was so rare for Su Shuo to be so serious, Nan Ke was not used to it at all.
"Xing Chen wouldn't be that extreme. You're thinking too much..."
Moreover, Nan Ke firmly believed that he just didn't want Xing Chen to misunderstand and had no other thoughts.
"He won't be extreme towards you, but he will be lenient towards himself?"
Nan Ke had already walked to her car. Su Shuo walked around and planned to sit in the passenger seat. The door was not opened. She looked up and saw Nan Ke in a daze. She knocked on the car window and Nan Ke unlocked the door.
After getting into the car, Nan Ke did not leave immediately. She had to call Quan Xiu to cancel the meeting first.
"Hello?"
Hearing Quan Xiu's surprised voice, Nan Ke felt a little reluctant.
"Hello? It's me, Nan Ke."
"Yeah, I know. Are you there yet?"
"without……"
"That's good. I was just about to go out and was afraid you'd be waiting."
Nan Ke pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you that I have something urgent to do and can't go."
There was silence for two seconds: "...Really?"
"Well, it's a good thing you didn't go out."
"...Is it a big deal? I can wait for you."
"No, I'm busy today."
Quan Xiu hadn't given up yet: "What about tonight? Can I come to you tonight?"
Nan Ke was already feeling sad. She really wanted to agree to Quan Xiu, but reason prevailed in the end.
"Even in the evening, I won't be able to do that. I'll be busy all day and won't have time in the evening."
Quan Xiu had no choice but to give up.
"……All right."
He sounded frustrated.
Nan Ke said, "I'll contact you another day. Today's problem is mine, and next time I'll treat you."
"good."
Quan Xiu answered the question very cheerfully.
Su Shuo watched the whole process, clicked his tongue twice, and started playing with his phone while Nan Ke was driving, but in the end he didn't say much.
The two returned to the art exhibition. Nan Ke parked the car on the side of the road. Just as she was about to call Xing Chen to ask where he was, someone gently knocked on her car window.
When I looked up, it was Xing Chen, holding a large bouquet of bright and delicate roses in his arms.
Su Shuo had already gotten out of the car and was looking at the two of them with a smile.
"You two go have fun, I have to work."
Xing Chen smiled politely at Su Shuo, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and sat down.
The fragrance of flowers fills the air in an instant.
"For you, baby."
"Thank you, it's beautiful."
Nan Ke smelled the fragrance of the flowers and asked Xing Chen, "How about we go eat Cantonese food?"
Xing Chen nodded: "Okay."
He replied as he fastened his seatbelt.
"But you might have to wait for a table now. Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
Xing Chen looked at Nan Ke with a smile and asked, "Did you have breakfast, baby?"
"No, but I just had some snacks at the cafe."
Xing Chen looked at her steadily. Nan Ke glanced at him and smiled: "Why are you looking at me?"
"I always feel that you have lost weight."
Nan Ke laughed: "It's only been a short time...how is it possible..."
"Looking closely, it seems to be an illusion, but you didn't sleep well last night, right?"
Nan Ke glanced at him, and Xing Chen said, "You can tell he stayed up late."
“Find inspiration in the studio.”
Nan Ke said, "I slept right in the studio. Otherwise, I could have made some dumplings in the morning to fill my stomach."
Xing Chen nodded: "That's my problem. Next time I will put some food in the studio."
"Forget it, don't waste it."
Nan Ke usually goes home to sleep at night. She has rarely gone to the studio recently.
"It doesn't matter. It won't be wasted. Once my schedule is fixed, even if you don't go, I can still catch up and clear out the stock."
Nan Ke smiled and did not refuse.
"Why did you take leave today?"
Xing Chen sighed softly, "I told you, I wanted to give you a surprise. I should have come back on the first day of the exhibition, but I couldn't leave then. Now that I can make time, I took the opportunity to take a leave."
Nan Ke yawned, and Xing Chen felt a little distressed when he saw it.
"Let's go home after dinner. You look like you need some rest."
"No, what was your original plan?"
Xing Chen smiled and said, "I don't have any plans. I just want to have a chance to accompany you while you are working."
Nan Ke didn't say anything and drove the car all the way to the hotel entrance.
Xing Chen ordered dishes. He knew exactly what Nan Ke liked to eat and didn't need to ask anything.
While waiting for the food to be served, Nan Ke stared at Xing Chen for a few seconds.
"You do have a tan."
Xing Chen immediately became nervous and touched his face: "Is it serious? Have I become ugly?"
Nan Ke shook his head: "Just a little bit."
She stared at Xing Chen's face and said, "Actually, imagine if your skin was darker, you would be handsome in a different way. You wouldn't be ugly at all."
Xing Chen smiled: "But you like fair skin?"
Nan Ke did not deny this, she was not that interested in dark-skinned handsome guys.
But if this is confirmed when Xing Chen is a little tanned, he will be disappointed, right?
Nan Ke raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "I'm not sure, how about you give it a try?" She said: "Why not get a darker tan and see if I still like you?"
Xing Chen curled his lips: "I dare not bet on this. If you don't like it, I won't have a place to cry."
Nan Ke laughed out loud.
She felt sleepy again, rubbed her face, and forced herself to cheer up.
Xing Chen put the washed dishes in front of Nan Ke.
"What time did you go to bed last night?"
"I forgot." Nan Ke said, "But the software recorded that I slept for more than four hours."
"Hold on a little longer, and then we'll go home and sleep after we finish eating."
Nan Ke shook his head: "Why don't we go to the movies? You finally got a day off, it would be a waste for you to go home and sleep with me."
Xing Chen wanted to refuse, but Nan Ke took out his phone and started looking at the movie tickets.
"I just happen to have a movie I want to see."
Xing Chen successfully shut up.
Nan Ke quickly bought the movie tickets, figuring it would be just the right time to go after dinner.
Before the food arrived, Xing Chen asked Nan Ke how the conversation with the director and producer went.
"I feel like the other party has a good impression of me, but whether I can appear on the show depends on the final result."
She told Xing Chen about the variety show plan. Xing Chen thought about it and said, "The place you described sounds like the kind of place we're going to."
Nan Ke thought about it and nodded.
"Indeed, access is not very convenient, and the internet is not very good. The biggest feature is the beautiful scenery..."
She smiled and said, "I should let them go to your place to take a look at the scenery."
Xing Chen smiled along with her and didn't say much.
Nan Ke naturally told him about the art exhibition, who came and which paintings were favored. Xing Chen listened very attentively.
Nan Ke stopped talking after the dishes were served. He wasn't hungry at first, but after smelling the food, he immediately felt his stomach was empty and just wanted to eat.
"Baby, do you miss me?"
Nan Ke still had food in her mouth, but she didn't expect Xing Chen to suddenly ask her such a serious question.
He was stunned for a moment and looked across.
Xing Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw her hamster-like expression.
"It's okay, eat, and we'll talk after you finish eating."
He sighed softly, "I missed you so much."
