"Do you know what season I like best?" Nan Ke stared at the dense rain curtain outside the window in a trance.

"spring?"

"No." Nan Ke smiled and turned to look at Quan Xiu who was sitting in front of him: "Autumn."

Quan Xiu listened to the sound of rain outside for a while and asked her, "Don't you feel depressed?"

"No, I don't like extremely cold or hot temperatures. I prefer a gentle, silent touch."

Quan Xiu didn't speak for a long time, and neither did Nan Ke. She lay on the table and listened quietly to the sound of rain.

"Are you... not in a good mood?"

Nan Ke stood up and looked at him, shrugged, "No, I just asked you to come out because I finished the painting for you."

She said, "I stood you up last time, so I'm going to treat you to a meal today as an apology."

Quan Xiu pursed his lips. Nan Ke didn't know whether he should hand over the painting at this time. After thinking about it, he gave it to him.

She watched Quan Xiu gently stroking the painting and couldn't help but think -

"I wish I could see it. It would be really nice."

Nan Ke bit her lower lip.

"You're so young and full of vitality. You have a long future ahead of you. Who knows, maybe one day you'll wake up and be able to see it. You never know."

"Thank you for your good wishes."

Quan Xiu lowered his eyes and groped around the table, then took his cup and took a sip of water.

Nan Ke kept looking at him without moving his eyes.

"Aren't you going to ask me what's in the painting?"

Quan Xiu smiled and said, "Let me guess."

Nan Ke said "hmm".

"Hmm... is this me playing the piano?"

Nan Ke showed a hint of surprise: "How did you know?"

Quan Xiu looked a little embarrassed and lowered his head.

"That time when you were playing the piano at the art exhibition, I asked Yan Xuan to pay attention to you in advance. When I asked him about it later, he said... you were listening very attentively at that time."

Nan Ke was secretly complaining, but his original words were probably "I was stunned", right?

But no matter what, it is true.

When she thought of drawing Quan Xiu, she naturally thought of him playing the piano.

"You are very charming when you play the piano."

Quan Xiu curled his lips: "I have been proud of this since I was a child..."

It was obvious that he hadn't finished speaking, but Nan Ke knew what he hadn't said without having to think about it.

Fate plays tricks on us.

Regarding others' praise of Quan Xiu's professional ability, he is not modest at all.

Nan Ke discovered that no matter how much had happened over the years, something in Quan Xiu's bones had not changed.

"Where are you going to put this painting?"

"Put it away."

Nan Ke was slightly stunned. "My friends asked me to paint so they could display it at home... or for their friends to see. Why do you do this?"

"I don't want too many people to see it. If I ever see it, I'll just watch it alone." He asked, "Would you mind?"

Nan Ke smiled noncommittally and didn't intend to make any comments on this.

"If I give it to you, it's yours now. You can do whatever you want with it."

Qiao Mai came out to talk to them only after he finished his work.

He looked at Nan Ke with a playful smile and said, "Finally you have time to look for him, otherwise he would have annoyed me to death."

Nan Ke glanced at Quan Xiu and saw that he looked helpless, but did not refute. He could probably guess what they had said in private.

"Hey, what is this?"

Qiao Mai picked up the wrapped painting next to Quan Xiu as he spoke, but Quan Xiu held him down: "It's not yours, don't touch it."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Qiao Mai's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. "Okay, I get it. Then you guys chat slowly. I won't be a light bulb."

After Qiao Mai left, Quan Xiu smiled sheepishly and said, "He's just like that, don't mind it."

Nan Ke looked at him silently for two seconds, until she saw an uneasy look on Quan Xiu's face, then she spoke softly.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

When the rain outside stopped, Nan Ke offered to take Quan Xiu home.

Quan Xiu was obviously stunned for a moment: "Okay... okay."

Coming back to his senses, he added: "If you have something else to do, you don't have to send me off. Qiao Mai can..."

"It's okay, I can just take you back, no need to trouble him."

Nan Ke smiled and stood up: "It's getting late, go back and get some rest early."

Quan Xiu's expression changed slightly, but he did not raise any objections and nodded slightly.

After saying goodbye to Qiao Mai, Quan Xiu sat in Nan Ke’s passenger seat.

The two of them drove quietly for a while, but Quan Xiu couldn't help but ask her.

"Is...something wrong?"

Nan Ke smiled.

"It's nothing serious, I just suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with my agent."

She paused and said, "It's about work."

Quan Xiu's condition relaxed visibly.

"I know you're participating in variety shows. Do you plan to... enter the entertainment industry in the future? Will you film a movie?"

"There is no such plan for the time being."

Nan Ke answered without hesitation, "I don't have much talent as an actor. I was invited to participate in variety shows by Su Su...ah, it sounds a bit narcissistic to say this, but it all started when someone posted a photo of me online and netizens noticed it. The production team quickly contacted Su Su, and she thought it would be great if I could appear on a variety show. After all, in this day and age, being famous is much better than being invisible. Variety show recording is a simple and extremely effective way to do this."

Seeing that Quan Xiu remained silent, Nan Ke continued, "After revealing our identities, most things were within our expectations, but there were also some things that were beyond our expectations."

Quan Xiu nodded slightly: "As you can imagine, fame is a double-edged sword."

Nan Ke smiled and shook his head: "At first, I really didn't expect that one day I would receive an invitation to write a script. I was surprised. I didn't expect the threshold for actors to be so low."

Quan Xiu smiled and said, "Considering your looks, this is not a low threshold."

Nan Ke sighed deliberately: "It's a pity that I don't have the professional ability, otherwise I could become an actor."

The two laughed together.

After a while, Nan Ke glanced at Quan Xiu and found that he was not looking straight ahead, but was staring in her direction.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t see anything, otherwise he would have blushed the moment their eyes met.

"Do you really remember what I look like?"

"The memory is still fresh." Quan Xiu said, "It's hard to forget."

Nan Ke's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say what was in his heart.

She subconsciously thought that if Quan Xiu could no longer see her, it would only be a matter of time before he forgot her.

Either long or short.

One day I will completely forget it.

"you……"

Nan Ke waited for a while, but received no further response.

"What's wrong with me?"

Quan Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I want to tell you that if you are in a bad mood, you can share anything you want to say with me. I have enough time and patience, and I won't tell others about your affairs."

Nan Ke was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's really okay."

Quan Xiu looked a little lonely in an instant.

Nan Ke said: "If there is something wrong, I will tell you."

After hearing this, he became happy.

"I don't have much to do anyway. I can be on call almost anytime. If you're unhappy, you can always find me."

Nan Ke curled her lips and said, "I can't always treat you like a trash can. We have to share our happiness together."

Quan Xiu lowered his head with a frown.

"I don't mind. You can spend happy times with your other friends, and when you're sad, just remember that you have me."

Nan Ke pursed her lips and asked him, "What's the happiest thing that happened to you recently?"

"Meet you again."

Quan Xiu blurted out the words without thinking, and his nonchalant attitude made Nan Ke feel rarely self-loathing.

Perhaps because Nan Ke didn't continue speaking, Quan Xiu said, "I thought you would hate me and ignore me."

"Why?"

Quan Xiu shrugged, looking a little uncomfortable. "Everyone has to grow up. Now that I think about it, I used to be... difficult to get along with in front of you. I think too highly of myself and I'm arrogant. Those were the words that came to your mind when you saw me, right?"

Nan Ke did not deny it and said with a smile: "Almost."

Quan Xiu sighed: "If only time could go back."

Nan Ke smiled and said, "But it's not very comprehensive. At least two more should be added - 'not bad looking' and 'what a pity'."

Quan Xiu laughed out loud at her words.

Before he knew it, Quan Xiu arrived.

Nan Ke stopped the car and waited for Yan Xuan to come out to pick up Quan Xiu.

She made no mention of visiting his home.

Quan Xiu never mentioned it either.

In the delicate relationship between the two families, the two of them maintained a certain unspeakable tacit understanding.

"Yan Xuan is out."

Quan Xiu said "hmm", Yan Xuan came over to help him open the door, and Nan Ke sat in the driver's seat without moving.

"When can I see you next time?" Quan Xiu turned around and asked her.

Nan Ke laughed: "We haven't separated yet."

Quan Xiu looked a little pitiful.

Yan Xuan's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally she chose to persuade her own people.

"Sister Nan Ke is usually busy with work, she will ask you out when she is free."

After saying this, as if to reassure Quan Xiu, he asked Nan Ke, "Is that so? Sister Nan Ke?"

Nan Ke nodded slightly, then remembered that Quan Xiu couldn't see it, so she quickly said "hmm".

Quan Xiu seemed satisfied and asked her to drive carefully on the road.

As soon as the car started, Quan Xiu came over and urged her, "Can you send me a message when you get there?"

Nan Ke nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay."

After the car drove for a while, Nan Ke stopped the car on the side of the road and sent a message to Su Shuo.

"Where are you? Can we schedule an appointment for you now?"

Su Shuo replied to her after about five minutes.

"Come, Huitingju No. 78."

Nan Ke rolled his eyes.

"Again?"

"It's over. Come pick me up and we can change the battlefield."

Nan Ke thought about it, replied "OK", put down his phone and started the car.

She thought that some things were destined to be shared only with sisters and could not be told to anyone else.
