Chapter 84 Chapter 084 “Nan Fei and I are…
The atmosphere was tense and Nan Fei was immersed in it when suddenly someone called out Nan Fei's name. Nan Fei was startled and in his haste he accidentally bit Yan Nanxing, then suddenly pushed him away. With a hiss, he looked up and saw Yan Nanxing bending his index finger and pressing it against his lower lip, rubbing it lightly, which actually made him bleed.
Watching him purse his lips, Nan Fei belatedly felt a surge of guilt. But the next second, she saw someone teasing with a smile, "You're quite strong."
Nan Fei swallowed back the guilt she felt.
Tsk, some people seem to enjoy it.
Yan Nanxing was about to make a few more jokes when he heard the voice speak again: "Nan Fei! So you are here!"
The two of them quickly distanced themselves from each other, and when the man approached, they maintained an absolutely comfortable social circle. If you didn't pay attention, you might think that the two of them were just too engrossed in the conversation and didn't hear the shouting.
Nan Fei forced a calm smile: "What's wrong?"
"Teacher Nan is looking for you everywhere."
This man was a member of Nan Hongyu's student team. According to seniority, Nan Fei had to call him "Senior Brother." He said, "I'm done with work today and ready to go home. I don't know where you two went."
The road back here is remote, so the team chartered a bus. If we didn't bring our own tools like Xing Rui did, it would be inconvenient to get back if we left anyone behind.
Nan Fei thanked him and then said that they would be there soon, and then coaxed the senior brother away.
Only after the other person had walked away did Yan Nanxing dare to laugh out loud: "Why are you so startled? I was wondering why you suddenly had so much strength, it turns out you were scared."
Nan Fei rolled her eyes at him, tugged at his sleeve and walked away: "If you don't want to keep it a secret, I'd be happy to let everyone know."
It was just a joke after all. In just a few minutes, the two returned to the entrance of the gathering place and had returned to normal. Waiting for the two who had returned late, a more cheerful member of the team directly joked: "If you didn't know, you would think that the two handsome guys had gone out to have a relationship."
The unintentional remark hit the mark, making the two protagonists who were being teased feel a little guilty.
Fortunately, no one noticed. Everyone laughed in good faith for a while before being interrupted by Nan Hongyu: "Okay, okay, let's go back first. We still have things to do today."
The seats on the return trip were supposed to be the same as when they came, but Nan Hongyu took the seat originally occupied by Yan Nanxing. After the two of them got on the bus, they looked around and prepared to change seats in the back row, but they heard the elder beckoning and saying, "Nan Fei, come here, we have something to discuss."
The guilt of almost discovering his "secret affair" still lingered, and as someone with a guilty conscience, he felt somewhat restrained, but he still sat down obediently as his father instructed.
He didn't even glance at Yan Nanxing, and seemed to want to distance himself from the matter as much as possible. Both of them were very cautious.
Because they swapped seats, the person sitting next to Yan Nanxing was the senior brother who had just come to see them. He greeted Yan Nanxing cheerfully, "Boss Yan, come and sit down."
Yan Nanxing smiled at him and took her seat. The bus started moving. The conversation in the front row was very low and could not be heard clearly, but this made people even more uneasy. They felt as if they were waiting for the death sentence to be pronounced and could not sit still.
Everything seemed normal on the surface. In order to divert his attention, Yan Nanxing started chatting with this senior brother.
"Weren't you busy until quite late yesterday? Why did you go back at noon today?" In order to make his words less abrupt, Yan Nanxing even made a joke, "I even took the principal's lunch. How embarrassing."
The senior brother waved his hand and said, "Hi, yesterday's journey was too far, so to save time I visited several nearby schools at once, so I got back late. But after learning about our project, several schools in the area selected joint representatives to participate in today's charity event, so we finished early."
Yan Nanxing heard something else between the lines: "So, the project here is finished in two days?"
The senior brother nodded. "It seems so, but there are some isolated primary schools that we have to go to separately. We thought about it and decided to go in batches. Since the scale is too small, it is not suitable for propaganda. So when the time comes, we will deliver the supplies and we will be done. It will probably take about three or four days."
It sounded reasonable and legal, but Yan Nanxing was still a little confused: "Mr. Nan just said that he has things to do when he returns. Does this mean..."
"Ah, that's because he's planning to hold a celebration party tonight."
The reason we're doing it tonight is because someone is leaving.
Having learned from Yan Nanxing's lesson, the two parties in this cooperation didn't have a chance to have a good meal together, and everyone was very busy, so after returning, it was unclear when they would be able to get together again.
After getting off the bus, the crowd automatically dispersed and returned to their rooms to prepare for their subsequent work, while Nan Hongyu went to discuss with the hotel owner and asked him to help prepare dinner.
Nan Fei also returned to Yan Nanxing's side with a serious expression. If it were in the past, it would have been a normal expression, but when they were together in private, Nan Fei gradually began to love laughing, and it was rare to see him with such a calm expression.
Yan Nanxing teased him: "What did you talk about with your father? You look so unhappy."
It’s not that I’m unhappy, but it’s a little hard to put into words. After thinking about it, Nan Fei simply said the result directly: "My dad asked me to go back tomorrow."
Yan Nanxing was stunned.
"He explained to me that my part of the job for this event was already over, so there was no need to stay here and suffer with them."
As he spoke, Nan Fei lowered his eyes slightly, his expression not looking very good: "He said that the nature of my work requires that it is more important to spend time on that."
It's really... an irrefutable reason.
Mr. Nan Hongyu has a personality like this. Although he looks cheerful and easy to talk to, it is actually very difficult for him to change his mind once he makes up his mind. Nan Fei has learned this from him completely.
But he was still a little unwilling to accept it. Yan Nanxing didn't ask him how he answered, but just comforted him: "I learned about the project situation from your senior brother. Don't think about it for now. Go and pack up. Don't let your father's carefully prepared celebration party go to waste."
After the two of them talked, they knew the purpose of this celebration banquet, but Nan Hongyu would never use his power for personal gain. Even if it was another member who left, he would still prepare carefully for such an event.
The evening party finally ended successfully with great fanfare. Nan Hongyu was still in good shape and sang to liven up the atmosphere when the wine got strong. With the atmosphere so lively, everyone naturally urged Nan Fei to sing a few lines as well.
Unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm, Nan Fei picked out a famous hit song to sing a cappella, which immediately received huge applause.
Yan Nanxing sat in the crowd, watching Nan Fei surrounded by stars. At this moment, the lights in the hotel lobby seemed to automatically switch to spotlights on the stage, reflecting the outline of Nan Fei's face, which was particularly eye-catching.
Suddenly I realized that this was actually the first time I listened to Nan Fei’s live performance.
Accustomed to the songs he sang, Yan Nanxing thought that he liked his composing style. Unexpectedly, such a simple love song without any technique could also capture people's hearts. Suddenly, he realized that he had been infatuated with the person who sang.
After another song ended, everyone's cheers didn't fade at all. Nan Fei felt that it was a bit inappropriate. After all, it was a celebration party for everyone. He was showing off all the time, so what was the big deal? However, his reason for declining was not accepted by everyone: "Big star, with your voice, you should sing more. Everyone thinks it's a pleasure."
Unexpectedly, the person who intervened this time was Nan Hongyu, who had initially fanned the flames. Perhaps it was tea that intoxicated people, but Mr. Nan actually shouted, "My son's appearance fee is not cheap. If he continues singing, I'll charge him."
"If you want to listen more, you can pay attention to Nan Fei's concert next month."
Since the most senior person present said so, everyone understood and stopped joking.
The only two people present who noticed that something was wrong were Yan Nanxing and Nan Fei.
Nan Hongyu, who never pays attention to Nan Fei and never goes online, actually knows that he is going to hold a concert?
After dinner, Nan Fei took the initiative to go over and chat with his old father after a long time.
But Nan Hongyu seemed to know that he would come looking for him, and waited at the door in advance: "Let's go, go downstairs and talk."
The night is getting darker, and it is still quite cool at this time of the night, and you may even need to put on a coat.
Although they said they were going out for a walk, they actually just sat in the yard downstairs. They each had a rattan chair and lay down side by side, silent for a long time.
Although he had come here on his own initiative, Nan Fei didn't plan to speak first, giving his old father enough time to organize his words. He didn't know how much time had passed before he heard Nan Hongyu say with a slightly tired voice, "Are you and that Xiaoyan, Yan Nanxing, dating?"
The taut string suddenly broke.
The most feared thing happened.
But Nan Fei didn't show it on her face, and remained calm and composed: "Where did you get the news?"
"This afternoon, before I came back, I took the time to search for news about you online. Every single one of them mentioned Yan Nanxing's name." Nan Hongyu's expression grew more serious. "I don't quite understand the messy rules in your circle. When I talked to your mother, she always resolved scandals quickly, but this news about you two has been going on for months."
Nan Fei's brain froze for a second.
Was it just a misunderstanding?
The original nervousness slowly dissipated and gradually turned into a somewhat funny helplessness, but then Nan Fei found that he really couldn't explain to his biological father what a business CP was.
"Don't watch too much stuff online. You know my mom has circulated a lot of fake relationships online before. People just love to chase after the privacy of public figures. So I'm working with Yan Nanxing to create some behavior that makes everyone look like a couple."
Nan Hongyu cursed, "Isn't this deceiving people? This is a sin."
Nan Fei: "...Internet users nowadays like to watch this."
Nan Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If you have the energy to do these things, you might as well use it to study and work properly."
Nan Fei: ...
He was really tired. What was the point of arguing with an old fogey?
But this did not dispel Nan Hongyu's doubts. He had his own ideas: "I have seen you and Yan Nanxing get along for the past two days. There are no cameras and no audience here. Do you still have to act?"
"Putting aside the question of professionalism, you're not an actor."
Nan Fei was speechless.
Just as they were thinking of what words to use to fool them, unexpectedly, a voice came from behind them.
"You guessed right."
The father and son turned their heads at once and saw Yan Nanxing pushing open the door and walking towards them.
He politely gave Nan Hongyu a smile, but as expected, the other party did not accept it and even looked at him with his nose turned up for the first time in a few days.
Yan Nanxing walked up to the two of them, and then, in front of Nan Fei's shocked gaze, he said seriously: "Nan Fei and I are dating."
