Chapter 42 Melons Falling from the Sky
The next morning, it was already 8:05 when Xu Yiqing left.
Judging from the traffic jam in the city center, the time to go there is a bit tight now.
Yan Nian hurried down to the underground parking lot, started the car and turned on the navigation.
The car drove out and passed the elevator where she had just gotten off. Coincidentally, Yan Qilin came out. He was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, and simple business-framed glasses, which complemented his rigorous style.
He seemed to have noticed the vehicle and turned around to take a look. The light flashed across his lenses. He was talking on the phone with his ear and did not notice that the person in the car turned around to let the car pass.
Yan Nian quickly tapped the brakes and rolled up both windows before driving past Yan Qilin. His voice drifted in through the gap, "Okay, I'll pick you up now and we'll have lunch together."
Yan Qilin said this morning that he would take a rest today.
Yan Nian glanced in the rearview mirror, but his view was quickly blocked by the car following behind.
As soon as they got onto the avenue, they were stuck in traffic. Seeing that there were less than 20 minutes left, Yan Nian sent a message to Zhou Ran in advance: [Sorry, there's a bit of traffic on the way here. I'll message you when I get there.]
Zhou Ran didn't reply.
The navigation showed that the destination was 200 meters ahead, but within these 200 meters, the car was blocked because a taxi and a private car were arguing with each other due to unruly driving.
Yan Nian saw that it was already 8:39. He would have to wait a few minutes for him to come down, so he sent a message to Zhou Ran at the exact moment: [I'm here, you can come down.]
Zhou Ran: [?]
Yan Nian pondered what his question mark meant, and a line of words popped up below it: [Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?]
Yan Nian: “…”
When Yan Nian braked the car in front of Zhou Ran, it felt like he had been waiting on the roadside for quite a long time.
Zhou Ran opened the passenger door and got in with a tired look on his face.
Yan Nian greeted him: "Good morning, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Ran fastened his seat belt indifferently.
Yan Nian thought Zhou Ran would mention that she was five minutes late, but he said nothing.
Yan Nian drove into Mingyu No. 1 according to the navigation, parked in his exclusive parking space, turned off the engine and got out of the car.
Handing him the car keys: "Mr. Zhou, the keys."
Zhou Ran took it, tossed it, and glanced at the car body: "Is the car not scratched?"
Yan Nian was quite confident in his driving skills and reminded him confidently: "Why don't you check it out?"
Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't care. "It's okay. I'll deduct it from your salary if you shave it."
"..." Yan Nian said kindly, "Then I suggest you check it out now."
Zhou Ran was in no hurry to leave, his tone casual: "There's no rush. I'll definitely check it carefully."
Yan Nian is relatively clear-headed about this kind of thing, and it would be difficult to explain it to her afterwards.
Her current internship salary is pitifully low, and it would cost a lot to repair the paint on his car if it gets scratched.
As Zhou Ran took a step, she quickly grabbed him and said in a somewhat forceful tone, "Check it now."
Zhou Ran turned around, lowered his eyelids, fixed his gaze on the hand she held on his right arm, and raised his eyebrows.
Are you afraid he will run away?
Yan Nian also stared at him, and when she noticed that he still didn't let go of her hand, she honestly said what she was really thinking: "The main reason is that your car is too expensive. If you find me again with any problems later, I won't recognize you. I wanted to make it clear to you in advance."
Oh, I'm afraid of blackmailing her.
Zhou Ran laughed and glanced at her hand: "That's quite thoughtful. Do you think I would blackmail you?"
Yan Nian neither denied nor admitted it, and swallowed his saliva: "After all, you have to support so many people."
Zhou Ran: "..."
Yan Nian let go of her hand: "Please!"
Zhou Ran walked around the car perfunctorily: "Is this all right? Yan the translator?"
Yan Nian choked and nodded: "Okay."
I don't know if he was careful enough, it seemed like he was just going through the motions to please her.
The two walked towards the elevator together and ran into a few people from the sales department. They greeted their leader, "Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Ran had already put on a serious expression: "Yeah."
Several people glanced at Yan Nian who was following him, and consciously retreated behind them.
When the elevator slowly descended and was about to reach the basement floor, Zhou Ran suddenly handed over the key: "I forgot to take the documents in the back seat, go get them."
"..." Yan Nian looked up at him in confusion. She clearly didn't see any documents in the back seat when she was driving in the morning.
I don’t know if he forgot.
Saying this in front of others makes it seem like they have a very good relationship.
After the last photo upload incident, Yan Nian asked cryptically, "What?"
Zhou Ran added, "Didn't you see it when you drove to pick me up this morning?"
Yan Nian: “…”
The people behind were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other silently.
I was thinking “oh shit, oh shit”, there must be something going on! ! ! !
Yan Nian didn't quite understand why he said so loudly and ostentatiously that she would be his driver today.
He calmly responded, "I didn't see it."
Zhou Ran smiled and took the key back: "Then I must have seen it wrong?"
Remove the word "should".
When getting on the elevator, Yan Nian consciously kept a distance from him and stood in a corner of the elevator.
Yan Nian glanced at him secretly through the heads of several people.
Yan Nian had very little contact with the opposite sex since she was a child, it can be said that it was extremely rare. Even when she was in college, Xu Yiqing would keenly notice if there were friends of the opposite sex around her, and would intervene and ask her not to have any more contact with them.
Xu Yiqing did not express her concerns, nor could she ask about her confusion.
As a result, when they grow up, they don't know how to know when to make friends with the opposite sex.
They are also sensitive. For example, now Yan Nian noticed that Zhou Ran's situation was very strange.
I can’t describe how it feels.
She knew her true thoughts and wanted to get closer to him, but she couldn't find the direction.
Similarly, Zhou Ran's reactions always left her confused.
…
Yan Nian watched his figure disappear at the office door, dug out her cell phone from her bag, opened WeChat, found an alumnus whom she hadn't contacted for several years in her contacts, and tentatively sent him a message.
Fortunately, she hasn't been deleted yet.
After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time. Yan Nian thought that the other party had forgotten her long ago, so she quickly got into work and forgot about the matter.
The next night, there was a reply on WeChat.
Mu Chen first sent a smiley face.
Mu Chen: [Are you not checking for zombie accounts? ]
Yan Nian immediately replied after receiving the message: [No.]
Because of Xu Yiqing, she and Mu Chen gradually lost contact.
Mu Chen is a senior in the psychology department whom she met through Xu Ke in Lingyun.
During the holiday after her freshman year, it was basically the two of them who counseled her.
We haven't been in touch for a long time, so it's impolite to ask me directly about the confusion in my heart.
After a few pleasantries, Mu Chen took the initiative to say: "When you have time, ask your sister to come out for dinner. It's been a while since I last saw you."
Yan Nian looked at the message and his first reaction was that he and Xu Ke had not been in contact for a long time, otherwise Mu Chen would not have been unaware of Xu Ke's resignation and return.
The two of them had a very good relationship, so they wouldn't leave without even saying goodbye.
Yan Nian: [Senior, we have returned to Lindu.]
This 'we' also includes Xu Ke.
Mu Chen was not surprised: [Okay, I'll come to see you when I'm free.]
Yan Nian thought the conversation was over when Mu Chen sent another message: [Although it's been a while since we last spoke, if you have any questions, you can always contact me.]
Yan Nian: [Okay, thank you, senior.]
