Chapter 22: It’s him

The exam is already over, and there are progressively more people outside the school gates. Almost everyone who passes by these two incredibly attractive people will unconsciously slow down and give them a couple glances. Wei Wei, on the other hand, is unaware of these stares, as, at the time Xiao Nai spoke, she had already left Earth and entered space.

I was anticipating your arrival.

I held out for you.

I held out for you.

Anyways.

This voice.

This voice.

This voice.

Wei Wei stares confusedly at the person in front of her. The sunset's reflection in his eyes gives the scene a little dreamy, serene appearance. His calm demeanor and tolerance...

Wei Wei purses her lips, but she makes no sound. She takes a long breath, calms the maelstrom within her, and asks, "NaiHe?" with utter incredulity.

"It's me," the person in front of her unmistakably responds as they look at her.

Wei Wei's only thought at that brief moment was, "So fortunate." It's a good thing she passed on the high-heeled sandal. If not, her astonishment would have undoubtedly caused her to break her heel already.

She keeps thinking about the names NaiHe, Xiao Nai, NaiHe, Xiao Nai, and NaiHe, Xiao Nai, but she can't seem to put them together. How on earth is NaiHe Xiao Nai? How on earth is it possible?She never imagined NaiHe would be that wonderful, even if she thinks he is extremely wonderful and master-like.

Additionally, how did he identify her?

There are too many questions and too much amazement. However, Wei Wei is unable to raise any of those queries. She even begins to believe that the person standing in front of her is not genuine. She pinches at the little slip of paper that she is holding, which is about to shatter into fragments. She is now most interested in running to a phone booth, dialing that number, and waiting to see if Xiao Nai's phone rings.

She also, at last, notices the more blatant looks that are directed towards them at this point.

On the other hand, Xiao Nai ignores the onlookers. "You turned in your," he says, lifting his wrist to check the time test ahead of schedule.

Wei Wei nodded gradually.

"I nearly made you wait again," Xiao Nai remarks.

Ah?

Wei Wei, without fully understanding, just stares at his happy face. It takes her some time to realize what he meant when he said he missed the finals. Wei Wei shakes her head, a little ashamed, and replies, "You didn't."

However, she has no idea what she is saying "you didn't" about.

"Let's go eat first," adds Xiao Nai, his smile becoming wider.

He makes his way inside the school. Wei Wei pauses for a moment before going along.

In any case, it's preferable than just standing here and staring at people. But after a short distance, Wei Wei can't resist turning to face east entryway.

Will there be another NaiHe there in a moment?

Even though it is obviously abundantly obvious that Xiao Nai is NaiHe, something about it still feels quite surreal.

She turns and looks back in this manner, her gait slowing. She turns around to see that Xiao Nai has stopped walking and is waiting for her.

Wei Wei steps forward swiftly, embarrassed. As he waits for her to approach, Xiao Nai adds gravely,

"Wei Wei, are you a fish eater?"

Okay, so Wei Wei is taken aback by Xiao Nai's natural way of saying "Wei Wei."

Wei Wei essentially assumes that Xiao Nai will be taking her to a fish restaurant in the school based on this query. That being said, Xiao Nai actually takes her via a maze of turns and pathways to reach a quaint little café in the professorial neighborhood nearby.

Then, after they have been seated for a little while, a large bowl of fish soup is placed on their table by an unrelated aunt who is grinning. With a few gestures, Xiao Nai leaves the aunt grinning.

Wei Wei looks at the enormous bowl of fish soup in front of her mindlessly.

"Auntie Jiang can't speak, but her dishes are very delicious," Xiao Nai says as she gently takes up the ladle to pour the soup. Since I was a small child, I have only ever eaten here or in the school cafeteria because my parents don't cook very much. Eeee, early years of the Great Master? The heart of Wei Wei, that is now numb from trembling, begins to become better for these rumors. Xiao Nai giggles inwardly as he catches a glimpse of her brilliant eyes and inquires, "What else do you want to eat?"

Wei Wei shakes her head, realizing that it will be difficult to consume such a large bowl of soup. There's a hint of medication in her nose. "Is there Chinese medicine in the soup?" queries Wei Wei.

"Oh-huh," Xiao Nai answers without showing emotion. "My father ordered half a month's worth of fish stewed with chuanxion rhizome [a type of Chinese herb] here to supplement my brain," Xiao Nai adds.

"....."

Why does she want to laugh so much right now? Particularly in light of the Great Master's facial expression...

Wei Wei senses because she's not being all that sincere >o<. She tries desperately to think of another subject and uses all her power contain herself. "Professor Xiao? I'm enrolled in Professor Xiao's course as a requirement.< p>

With his eyes raised, Xiao Nai looks at her and asks, "Did you fall asleep?" without making any facial expressions.

"....."

Wei Wei is uncomfortable. Classmate Professor Xiao may be a bit too scholarly, but he is still your father, Great Master, despite everything. This directness isn't necessary, are you?

"It's actually pretty interesting that Professor Xiao talked about their experiences with archeology." Wei Wei makes an ineffective attempt to win back some respect for Professor Xiao.

"I've also chosen his class before," Xiao Nai says as he serves her the soup. I visited two talks.

This suggests that you don't have to push yourself to give him credit.

Wei Wei says, "Professor Xiao, I've tried my best as your student," as she drops her head and downs the soup. NaiHe, your kid, simply doesn't show you any respect at all.However, given that Professor Xiao's class is the easiest to achieve excellent grades in, is it possible that the Great Master chose it instead of his father's?

Wei Wei was also unaware that she had already become somewhat calm after a few conversations.

When Wei Wei prods at the fish bones, she discovers that Xiao Nai has handed her the full fish head.It isn't possible that the Great Master gave it to her to eat because he was tired of eating it.

This kind of idea shoots in her head, but Wei Wei smothers it the moment it emerges due to the brilliant golden Great Master's duality of Xiao Nai and NaiHe.

How are the two Great Masters able to achieve something so evil? He would not, would not, would not do it!

Wei Wei tries her hardest to eat the fish head since it is unethical to throw away food. After serving Wei Wei a couple more tiny items, Auntie Jiang puts a bowl of rice in front of her that is full. Wei Wei, like Xiao Nai, signs a thank-you stiffly since her mouth is full with fish and she is unable to talk.

Auntie Jiang beams, returns a sign that Wei Wei cannot comprehend, and walks away. When Wei Wei turns to face the Xiao Nai across from her, she notices that he is looking at her with his attractive face and bright eyes.

Wei Wei carefully touches the ground and realizes at that moment that what she did was really foolish. Her heartbeat, however, joins in the fun and begins to bounce. It thumps fiercely for a long time inside her chest, adamantly stating its response.

Still...

Wei Wei chews the fish head silently, debating whether or not to say anything. She lifts her head subtly to cast a quick glimpse at the person on the other side. In addition, he is sipping his soup quietly and elegantly, maintaining an eye-pleasing stance. His look takes on an air of natural pride when he gets quiet. Despite the fact that he becomes reserved and assumes an air of natural pride in his looks,. Even though he is surrounded by this kind of retro diner, his elegance still makes it seem as though no one is there.

The online NaiHe and the current Xiao Nai are no longer the same, as though there is greater gap now.Still, her heart races within, just as it did before.

She should simply let it go. Given that Xiao Nai's parents are reputed to hail from wealthy literary families, perhaps they have a rule against talking while eating.Furthermore, she could say something inappropriate or talk too much in her current circumstance. It would be best for her to save her strength for later. Hehe, that's correct; she will keep eating fish since safety comes first.

Consume seafood, seafood, seafood...

The dining table falls quiet for a while as a result. However, the quiet now is not the same as the quiet on the road before; rather, it seems as though a strange mood permeates the atmosphere.

The silence is broken by a ringtone that is recognizable to you. Wei Wei recognizes the sound of the ringtone as soon as it begins; it's the bamboo flute scene from the opening of the film of the female criminal snatching the groom.

Is it possible that the Great Master truly treasures his memories of the time he was abducted?

Wei Wei feels embarrassed as she considers these ideas. The phone has already been picked up by Xiao Nai. Immediately, a gruff masculine voice emerges from the other conclusion; Wei Wei can even make out the voice in hazy detail due to how loud it sounds.

"Where are you, third brother? Are you still planning to attend today's farewell game?

Xiao Nai looks at the wall clock and asks, "Isn't it at seven? It's not too late.

"Arrival early to get cozy. Did you not have a busy day? Everyone is waiting for you, so come on over.

"I have a lot on my plate."

Oh, I see. With what? Is this phase's work not yet finished? Right now, what are you doing?

"On a date," Xiao Nai adds, as if it were ordinary.

There's silence on the other end of the phone. Wei Wei, gripping her chopsticks, feels... She is now emotionless.

The individual on the other end of the phone changes a little while later. Sharp-tongued, he cries above the person in front of him, "Third brother, you are on a date? Please bring her here. Please bring her here.

With total composure, Xiao Nai adds, "Let me ask her if she is willing to."

"Do you want to go see our department's senior basketball farewell game?" he asks, turning to face Wei Wei.

The Wei Wei nodded involuntarily, her spirit having soared to the sky in amazement at hearing the words "on a date." "I'll bring her over later," Xiao Nai says to the person on the other line, remaining cool and collected.

After saying something, he hangs up without waiting to hear back from the other end. 

And then, and then, he naturally keeps eating, eating with grace.

Make the payment invoice.

The soul-soaring Wei Wei remarks, "It's so cheap; so many dishes for just a little over fifty." It was also really tasty. Why hasn't she heard of this eatery before?

Xiao Nai tells her to wait for him there once he leaves the restaurant, saying he'll go home and fetch his bike.

After Wei Wei's spirit ascended to the sky, she wondered if Great Master's house is close by. 

Xiao Nai is pedaling his bicycle over in the distance.

The Great Master appears to be attractive not just while riding a white horse but also when riding a bike, Wei Wei, whose spirit has soared to the sky, muses. 🐔

Xiao Nai uses her foot to halt the bike and commands, "Go on."

With her spirit having soared to the sky, Wei Wei wonders, "Eee, Great Master wants her to ride with me?"

Travel together?

Wei Wei is instantly brought back to reality by these two words. All of her souls quickly return to her body.

The lovely Wei Wei stammers, "This, this, I," as she glances at the bike and Great Master.

Xiao Nai furrows her brow.

"Will you take me?" Wei Wei asks as she gathers herself.

"You know, would you walk that far?"

Of course, it's scary to go the vast distance to the basketball court. But the thing that scares me more is if you take me!

Wei Wei is furious and grieves!

This elder classmate doesn't ride a bike, despite your excellent reputation, and her poor one like this instantly sparks the propagation of romance rumors! They may be leaning suspiciously toward the romantic side, but for the time being, at least, they are still as innocent as the most innocent of lambs.

This isn't really suitable, is it? When other people observe us, they will interpret us incorrectly. Wei Wei makes a sincere effort to decline it politely. She's already starting to have some color in her ears.

"Do you not understand?"

Is it possible that he is not understanding? It takes all of Wei Wei's strength to say it out loud: "Misunderstand that we are, eh, in that kind of relationship."

Xiao Nai looks at her quietly for a long time without saying anything. Inexplicably, Wei Wei becomes uneasy.Was there something she said that wasn't right?

Just when Xiao Nai eventually says, "When were we not in that kind of relationship?" It is with increasing nervousness.
