Extra Chapter 5: Brother’s Story
In the latter half of the night, Qi Yan fell asleep on a chair on the balcony. Nan Zhe extinguished the cigarette in his hand, got up, and gently carried her back to the bedroom.
Almost as soon as her body touched the bed, she frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes to look at the figure who had yet to leave.
The smoke lingering around the man’s body did not seem to have dissipated. At this distance, she could smell the clear fragrance of tobacco.
Seeing that she subconsciously wrinkled her nose, Nan Zhe retracted his hand and wanted to distance himself from her. “Go to sleep. I’ll go next door.” Although the two of them had been dating for a while, they had yet to sleep on the same bed. Even when they went out together some time ago, the two of them had booked a suite and each had a bedroom.
Although Nan Zhe had a licentious appearance and looked like he had been through hundreds of battles, in fact, he had never slept in the same bed with a girl since he was in his teens. Before he was in his teens, it was because Nan Ge was still in primary school at that time. During her afternoon nap, he would coax her. Sometimes, when he was tired, he would lie on the edge of the bed and take a nap.
Sometimes, Yuan Chi and the others liked to tease him with this. Despite his appearance, even Yu Yu, who was younger than him, was more popular with the women than him. Just by looking at his appearance, no one would believe that he did not have any women by his side.
In fact, Nan Zhe was a little obsessed with cleanliness. He was not an easy person. Moreover, he came from an extraordinary background and had a good upbringing. He was essentially no different from Shen Yanqing.
Even if it wasn’t before marriage, at least when he first started dating, he wouldn’t take the initiative to ask for anything unless the other party accepted it or hinted at it.
Just as he was about to straighten up, Qi Yan suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his arm.
Nan Zhe was stunned and stopped in his tracks. He stared at her stiffly.
“I don’t like sleeping on unfamiliar beds. Why don’t… you rest here too?”
When she spoke, her voice was still a little muffled. Her eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist when she looked at him. They were hazy and a little blurry.
Nan Zhe did not speak for a long time. He maintained his stiff posture and looked at her up close.
In his memory, the first time he saw Qi Yan was after junior high school.
He was Yuan Chi’s childhood friend, but the two of them were not in the same class after junior high school. Yuan Chi’s studies were not good at that time, so he went to the last class. However, Yuan Chi would look for him as soon as class ended.
Their class was separated by a floor, and he was downstairs.
It was an activity class in the afternoon. As usual, he leaned against the railing of the corridor and looked down in boredom.
There were other childhood friends chatting beside him. They were waiting for Yuan Chi to come down to play basketball.
After waiting for a while, Yuan Chi finally arrived. He said that his results had deteriorated too much and he had been taught a lesson by his teacher.
After everyone arrived, everyone prepared to go downstairs.
At this moment, Yuan Chi suddenly waved his hand downstairs. “Qi Yan!”
They subconsciously followed his gaze.
Nan Zhe was no exception.
When he heard this name, he thought like everyone else that it was a boy. He was probably Yuan Chi’s good friend.
As far as the eye could see, among the many people downstairs, Nan Zhe did not know why, but he immediately noticed a figure looking up.
From this angle, the other party had short hair and was wearing a fitted blue and white school uniform. She was not tall among the boys, but she was not short at this age. In any case, she had to develop.
Due to the distance, he could even see the doubt on the other party’s face. However, Yuan Chi quickly waved his hand again. “Don’t move below. Wait for me!”
Hearing the voice, the other party finally discovered Yuan Chi’s location.
However, when the other party looked over, her gaze did not land on Yuan Chi.
Instead, she paused for a few seconds with a slightly stunned expression. Then, she nodded at Yuan Chi slowly.
That day, after the group of them went down, they still did not realize that the other party was a girl. They only felt that she had a delicate face and a small frame. She looked a little delicate among the boys.
It wasn’t until she took the initiative to say hello to him that he realized she was a girl.
When he was in junior high, he did not like to make friends with girls. It was probably because he felt that all girls would be as difficult to deal with as Nan
He was tortured by Nan Ge and did not have the patience to give anyone else. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
However, Yuan Chi insisted on bringing Qi Yan along to play. He could tell that they had a good relationship. He even suspected that Yuan Chi liked Qi Yan like everyone else.
Although she was still young, there were many people experiencing puppy love in school.
At first, he wanted to fulfill Yuan Chi’s wish. Later, he accepted Qi Yan from the bottom of his heart because Qi Yan charged all the way over from somewhere when they were fighting outside the school. He still wanted to protect the girl at this time, but as a girl, Qi Yan was faster than him.
For a moment, he could not tell who was protecting who.
It was also at that time that she found out that Qi Yan had been practicing taekwondo since she was young. Her uncle was also a teacher at the Physical Education University and the world champion of mixed martial arts.
Ever since then, Qi Yan was officially bound to their small team. After Qi Yan transferred classes, she even replaced Yuan Chi. The two of them gradually became inseparable.
The fingers on his arm clenched gently again, and his fingers inadvertently brushed across his slightly cold skin. The figure in front of him had clear eyes and eyebrows, and she seemed to have grown a lot compared to back then. Only then did Nan Zhe put away his thoughts. “Okay.”
He agreed and wanted to take another shower to dilute the smell of smoke.
“It’s late. Go rest.” Qi Yan stopped him. Nan Zhe lay down beside her hesitantly.
He lay flat on the bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling.
The curtains were only half drawn, and the ceiling reflected the moonlight outside the window.
He was no longer sleepy. After a moment, he rolled over uncontrollably and turned his back to her.
The next second, someone reached out from behind and hugged his waist, their fingers resting on his abs.
Those who did not know better would think that she did it on purpose.
Nan Zhe tilted his head and wanted to turn around to look at her, but Qi Yan did not give him the chance. She leaned closer and pressed her cheek against his back as if to give him some strength.
“Brother Nan, you’ll be fine after sleeping.”
Qi Yan had asked him to stay because she knew that if he went to another room, he would definitely not sleep tonight.
He had been very tired these past few days. First, he was accompanying his grandfather in the hospital, then he was preparing for his grandfather’s funeral, the company, the inheritance, and now Nan Gel s matter. Qi Yan knew that he was mentally and physically exhausted. He had to have a good sleep.
In just a few days, he was no longer as high-spirited as before. His body and mind had been destroyed too severely by these things.
Nan Zhe also knew her intentions. His hand slid down from the pillow and held hers. “Good night.”
In the latter half of the night, Qi Yan forced herself to stay awake and did not fall asleep again. It was not until she felt Nan Zhe’s chaotic breathing gradually even out that she closed her eyes in relief..
