In that split second, Wei Wei’s mind only has one thought — So fortunate. So fortunate she didn’t buy that stiletto sandal. Otherwise, she will have, definitely, already broken its heel in her shock.
\nNaiHe, Xiao Nai, NaiHe, Xiao Nai, NaiHe, Xiao Nai…these two names continuously circle around in her mind, but she is just unable to match them together. How can NaiHe be Xiao Nai? How can it be, how can it be…Even though she feels that NaiHe is very Great Master-like, she never thought that he would be that great…
\nMoreover, how did he recognize her?
\nToo much astonishment, too many questions. But Wei Wei isn’t able to ask a single one of those questions. She even starts to think that the person in front of her isn’t real. The small slip of paper in her hand is about to break into pieces from her pinching it. Right now, the thing that she wants to do the most is rush to a telephone booth and dial that cell phone number; see if Xiao Nai’s cell phone will start ringing…
\nAt this time, she also, finally, becomes aware of the increasingly obvious glances surrounding them.
\nYet Xiao Nai turns a blind eye to those spectators watching. He lifts his wrist and looks at the time, “You turned in your exam early?”
\nWei Wei slowly nodded.
\nXiao Nai says, “I nearly made you wait again.”
\nEh?
\nWei Wei doesn’t really understand, so she looks at his smiling face. Only after a while does she understand that he means when he missed the finals. Wei Wei feels a bit embarrassed, shakes her head and says, “You didn’t…”
\nBut she doesn’t even know what she is saying “you didn’t” about…
\nThe smile deepens in Xiao Nai’s eyes and he says, “Let’s go eat first.”
\n \nHe starts to walk into the school. Wei Wei hesitates a bit before following. Anyway, it is better than standing here for people to look at. But after walking a few steps, Wei Wei can’t help but turn and look at the East entrance.
\nIn a moment…will another NaiHe appear there?
\nEven though things are already very clear, that Xiao Nai is NaiHe, but, but, it just feels very unreal…
\nTurning to look back like this, her steps slows down. By the time she turns back, Xiao Nai has already stopped walking and is waiting in front for her. Embarrassed, Wei Wei quickly walks forward. Xiao Nai waits for her to get closer and says very seriously,
\n“Wei Wei, do you eat fish?”
\n \nAlright, Wei Wei is startled by the natural way Xiao Nai says “Wei Wei.”
\nWith such a question, Wei Wei basically believes that Xiao Nai will be taking her to some fish restaurant in the school. However, what actually happens is: Xiao Nai takes her through a bunch of turns and paths to arrive at an old-fashioned small restaurant in the nearby residential area for professors.
\nThen, after sitting down for just a bit, an auntie (not related) with a smiling face places a huge basin of fish soup onto their table. Xiao Nai made a few hand signs and the auntie walks away beaming.
\nWei Wei stares blankly at the gigantic basin of fish soup in front of her.
\nXiao Nai calmly picks up the ladle to serve the soup, “Auntie Jiang can’t speak, but her dishes are very delicious. My parents don’t cook often, so since I was young, I’ve always eaten either at the school cafeteria or here.”
\nEeee, Great Master’s childhood? Wei Wei’s heart that has already become numb from shaking starts to recover a bit for this gossip. Catching a glimpse of her shining eyes, Xiao Nai laughs on the inside and asks, “What else do you want to eat?”
\nWei Wei shakes her head — it’s already going to be hard to finish off such a big basin of soup. Her nose picks up a whiff of medicine. Wei Wei asks, “Is there Chinese medicine in the soup?”
\n“Uh-huh,” Xiao Nai expressionlessly says, “When I was in the car accident last time, my father ordered half a month of fish stewed with chuanxion rhizome (type of Chinese herb) here to supplement my brain.”
\n“……”
\nWhy does she suddenly feel like laughing? Especially after seeing the Great Master’s expression…
\nWei Wei feels that she really isn’t being too sincere >o<. all="" an="" and="" another="" as="" class="" elective.="" find="" hard="" her="" hold="" i="" in="" it="" of="" professor="" she="" strength="" taken="" to="" topic="" tries="" uses="" xiao="">\nXiao Nai raises his eyes and glances at her, and expressionlessly continues to ask, “Did you fall asleep?”
\n“……”
\nWei Wei feels awkward. Classmate Great Master, even though Professor Xiao’s is indeed, eh, a little too academic, he is still your father. You don’t need to be this direct, do you?
\n“…actually when Professor Xiao spoke about their archeology experiences, it’s quite interesting.” Without much persuasiveness, Wei Wei attempts to redeem some respect for Professor Xiao.
\nXiao Nai hands soup to her, “I’ve also chosen his class before. I went to two lectures.”
\nThis is implying that you don’t need to force yourself to praise him.
\nThus, Wei Wei lowers her head and drinks the soup — Professor Xiao, I’ve tried my best as your student. Your son, NaiHe, just really doesn’t leave any respect for you…but then again, could the Great Master have chosen his father’s class because Professor Xiao’s class is the easiest to get good grades…
\n \nWei Wei also didn’t realize that after a few exchanges, she has already relaxed quite a bit.
\nWei Wei jabs at the fish bones and finds that Xiao Nai has actually given her the entire fish head…It can’t be that the Great Master has gotten sick of eating this so threw it for her to eat…
\nThis kind of thought flashes in her mind, but the sparkling golden Great Master’s duality of NaiHe and Xiao Nai immediately makes Wei Wei strangle this kind of thought just as it starts sprouting.
\nHow can the two Great Masters do such a sinister thing? He wouldn’t, he wouldn’t, he definitely wouldn’t!
\nIt’s immoral to waste food, so Wei Wei puts in her best effort and starts eating the fish head. Auntie Jiang carries out a few more smaller dishes and places a completely full bowl of rice in front of Wei Wei. Wei Wei’s mouth is full of fish and can’t speak, so copying Xiao Nai, she stiffly signs a thank you.
\nBeaming, Auntie Jiang signs back something that Wei Wei can’t understand and leaves. When Wei Wei turns her head, she sees the Xiao Nai across from her staring at her with his handsome face and luminous eyes.
\nWei Wei cautiously places her hand down and suddenly feels that what she did was extremely stupid >o<. a="" action="" aggressively="" and="" chest="" declaring="" for="" gets="" heartbeat="" her="" however="" in="" it="" its="" jumping.="" on="" pounds="" reply.="" starts="" steady="" the="" thunderously="" while="">\n……
\nWei Wei eats the fish head in silence, thinking about whether she should speak. She stealthily raises her head and glances at the person across from her. He is also drinking his soup — such elegant and pleasing to the eye posture — calmly without making any noise. When he becomes quiet, his appearance becomes one of inherent pride. Even though he is surrounded by this type of old-fashioned small restaurant, his refinement still makes people forget themselves when they see him.
\nThe current Xiao Nai, is now different from the online NaiHe, as if there is now more distance…yet her heart continues racing as before inside.
\nShe had better just let it pass. Xiao Nai’s parents are said to have come from prestigious literary family backgrounds, maybe they have a rule about not speaking during meal time…furthermore, in her current situation, she might say too much and say something wrong. She had better conserve her strength for the future. Hehe, that’s right, safety first — she will continue eating fish…
\nEat fish, eat fish…
\nAs a result, the dinner table becomes silent for a period of time. But the current silence is different from the silence on the road earlier, it’s as if the air is filled with a peculiar mood.
\n \nIt is a familiar ringtone that breaks the silence.
\nAs soon as the ringtone starts, Wei Wei feels that it sounds familiar and immediately realizes — it’s actually the bamboo flute segment from the beginning of the female thief kidnapping groom video.
\nCan it be, can it be that the Great Master really cherishes the memory of the days when he was kidnapped…
\nWei Wei thinks about these thoughts in embarrassment. Xiao Nai has already picked up the phone. A rough male voice immediately comes out from the other end; the voice is so loud that Wei Wei can even vaguely hear it.
\n“Third brother, where are you? Are you still coming to the farewell game today?”
\nXiao Nai turns to look at the clock on the wall, “Isn’t it at seven? It’s still early.”
\n“Come early to warm up. Weren’t you not busy today? Come over, everyone is waiting for you.”
\n“I’m busy.”
\n“Oh? With what? Hasn’t the work for this phase been completed? What are you doing now?”
\nXiao Nai says, as if it’s nothing special, “On a date.”
\nThe other end of the phone is silent. Holding onto her chopsticks, Wei Wei feels, feels…she has no feelings right now…
\nAwhile after, the person changes on the other end of the phone — his voice is sharp — and yells louder than the guy before him, “Third brother, you are on a date? Bring her here, bring her here, bring her here.”
\nXiao Nai says completely calmly, “Let me ask her if she is willing to.”
\nHe looks over at Wei Wei, “Do you want to go see our department’s seniors basketball farewell game?”
\nThe Wei Wei, who has been so shocked by the words “on a date” that her soul has flown to the sky, unconsciously nodded. The still calm Xiao Nai says to those on the other end, “I’ll bring her over later.”
\nWithout listening to the response from the other end, he hangs up after speaking.
\nAnd then…and then…of course he continues eating…eating…with poise…
\n \nPay the bill.
\nWei Wei, whose soul has flown to the sky, thinks — that it’s so cheap; so many dishes for just a little over fifty. And it was delicious. How come she’s never heard of this restaurant before?
\nAfter walking out of the restaurant, Xiao Nai says for her to wait for him there — he’ll go home and get his bike.
\nWei Wei, whose soul has flown to the sky, thinks — ah, Great Master’s home is nearby?
\nIn the distance, Xiao Nai is riding his bicycle over.
\nWei Wei, whose soul has flown to the sky, thinks — turns out not only does the Great Master look handsome riding on a white horse, he’s even handsome riding a bike ~~~
\nXiao Nai stops the bike with a foot and says, “Get on.”
\nWei Wei, whose soul has flown to the sky, thinks — Eee, Great Master wants her to ride together?
\n \nRide together?!!
\nThese two words slaps Wei Wei back into reality immediately. In a flash, all her souls returns to her body.
\nShe looks at the bike, looks at Great Master, then, the beautiful Wei Wei stutters, “This, this, I…”
\nXiao Nai frowns slightly.
\nWei Wei composes herself, “…You’ll take me?”
\n“Uh huh, would you walk such a long distance?”
\nWalking the long distance to the basketball court is, of course, frightening. But, but, what’s more frightening is if you take me!!!
\nWei Wei grieves in indignation!
\nThis older schoolmate, with your great reputation plus her small reputation, doesn’t riding on a bike like this cause romance rumors to spread immediately! Although they apparently, vaguely, seems to be suspiciously taking a step towards the romance side, right now, at this moment, they are more innocent than the most innocent of lambs….
\n“This, this isn’t too appropriate, right? Other people will misunderstand when they see us.” Wei Wei tries hard to gracefully turn it down. Her ears are already starting to become a bit pink.
\n“Misunderstand?”
\nCan it be that he doesn’t understand? Wei Wei is forced to summon up her courage to say it directly, “Misunderstand that we are eh, in that kind of relationship…”
\nXiao Nai calmly gazes at her without speaking for quite a while. Indescribably, Wei Wei starts feeling nervous…Did she say something wrong?
\nJust as she starts feeling more and more nervous, Xiao Nai finally, slowly speaks, “When were we not in that kind of relationship?”
