Nan Ge did not know if the two of them ever talked about this.

She could only tell Nan Zhe her feelings. “Anyway, after chatting with her for a while, I felt that she was under a lot of pressure previously.”

“She’s finally able to relax a little now. If she’s with you, she might feel even more pressure.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So, she seems to be a little afraid to step out of her comfort zone.” After she finished speaking, Nan Zhe remained silent for a long time.

“Yes, this is also my personal opinion. Of course, you always say that I’m stupid and can’t understand some things. I’m sure it doesn’t mean that Sister Qi Yan feels the same way… I’m just saying, you know?”

Nan Ge was in a difficult position.

Shouldn’t Nan Zhe have taken the initiative to talk to her about this today? Why did he throw the question to her?

At the thought of this, Nan Ge immediately took the initiative. “Did you meet that day? I saw a figure that looked like you that night.”

She probed softly and received an affirmative response from Nan Zhe. “Then… what did you guys talk about?”

“Did… did you get…” Nan Ge hesitated for a moment but did not dare to say it.

“No, is your brother that disappointing?” After saying that, Nan Zhe even snorted arrogantly.

This time, Nan Ge really did not understand what he was up to.

Nan Zhe was merciful. “We’re together, but we don’t intend to tell anyone.”

After a long silence, Nan Ge finally could not help but say, “Brother, you look like a kept lover.”

In the end, he did not even have an official status.

It was tragic.

Nan Zhe choked at her unintentional words.

He had made an agreement with Qi Yan and did not intend to reveal their relationship to anyone for the time being.

In the eyes of others, the two of them were still friends and a couple in private.

To put it bluntly, it was an underground relationship.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be a kept man.

He was naturally unwilling in the beginning. Why did he need to hide his relationship? It made no sense at all.

Even though Nan Ge was slow sometimes, she could tell that Qi Yan had too many concerns.

Then he had no other choice.

However, he did not intend to do this forever.

After the two of them discussed, Qi Yan agreed to only try this one year.

If they felt that they could really adapt to being a couple after a year, they could be together openly.

If it did not work out…

Nan Zhe’s eyes darkened.

There was nothing that he could not do.

“Don’t tell Mom and Dad about this,” Nan Zhe reminded her worriedly before hanging up.

Nan Ge exclaimed with a troubled expression. “Then it’s not easy for me to lie when Mom asks. Aren’t you messing with me? I can’t hold it in!” “Even if you can’t hold it in, you have to hold it in. You can’t tell anyone.”

“Then why did you tell me?” “Because I can’t hold it in either.”

. ‘ Damn it!

At noon the next day, Cheng Xia asked them if they wanted to apply for postgraduate studies.

She was about to be in her third year of university. It was time to put this matter on the agenda.

“I don’t have that intention.” Su Hui shrugged. She was preparing to go home after graduation.

Although her family was not as rich as Nan Gets, they were still considered wealthy. Her family had already set her up with a job post-graduation.

Fang Yuanyuan thought for a moment. “I want to take postgraduate studies, but I plan to take a different major. My family doesn’t support it.’

“Huh?” They were shocked by her.

“Let me think about it again. What about you, Nan Ge?” As for Cheng Xia, there was no need to ask. With her results, she was definitely guaranteed a slot in the postgraduate studies program.

“Me…” Nan Ge swallowed the food in her mouth. “I think I want to.”

“Do you want to discuss it with your family?”

“Yes. Call my brother later and ask.”

“What about your parents?”

“Usually, as long as my brother supports me, he can handle my parents and even my grandfather.”

It had nothing to do with her.

She only needed to deal with Nan Zhe alone.

“Boohoo, that’s great.” Fang Yuanyuan made an envious sound.

After dinner, they parted ways.

Nan Ge had a debate competition next week. It was almost evening when she came out of the library after sorting out the materials.

She came out with her bag and saw a group of people gathered at the door. When she approached, she realized that it was raining outside. Everyone was trying to avoid the rain.

Nan Ge was petite. She hid behind the crowd and stuck her head out to observe the rain.

From the looks of it, if she ran back, she would basically become completely drenched.

She could borrow an umbrella from the Huai University library, but she came out late and the umbrellas were already gone.

She looked at the dormitory group chat.

Cheng Xia seemed to be at the student union at this time. Fang Yuanyuan and Su Hui were in class, so they could not pick her up on the way.

Nan Ge had no choice but to stand aside, planning to wait for the rain to stop with everyone.

Just as she was about to log out of WeChat and look at some other materials to pass the time, a message popped up.

Shen: [Are you still in the library?]

When she first arrived at the library in the afternoon, she mentioned it to Shen Yanqing.

At this time, he probably wanted to ask her out for dinner, but the weather… She looked up at the gray sky against the rain. It did not seem suitable for a date.

Sighing, she typed a reply: [Yes. Let’s not do dinner together today. Let’s do it tomorrow! I found a super delicious Thai restaurant! Remember to eat on time and get off work early to go home and rest. *smiley face* ]

Just as she typed an emoticon, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Nan Ge thought that she was in someone else’s way, so she leaned to the side.

“Junior.”

‘ Nan Ge looked up when she heard the voice.

The boy in front of her was tall and thin, holding a transparent umbrella in his hand. He smiled shyly at her gaze.

“Senior, why are you here too?”

This was the second speaker of the school’s debating team.

“I just got back from a restaurant and heard from them that you were reading up at the library here. I saw that the rain was quite heavy, so I came to pick you up.”

Nan Ge exclaimed and quickly put away her documents. “Thank you, Senior.”

She did not want to continue waiting here. Who knew when the rain would stop? She was still in a hurry to go back and order takeout for dinner.

After sitting in the library all afternoon, she was already hungry.

The senior opened the umbrella. “Pay attention to the steps. It’s a little slippery in the rain.”

“Okay.” Nan Ge carried her bag. “Senior, thank you so much!”

“It’s fine… It’s on the way.” The senior touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. Seeing that she had packed up, he quickly held the umbrella above their heads. “Have you seen the messages in the group chat?”

“Huh?” Nan Ge stopped in her tracks. “The group chat? I didn’t notice. Did I miss something important?”

She really did not look at the debate team group chat.

“Not really,” the senior said. “It’s just that the captain said that we’re having a gathering tomorrow night. Remember to come.”

“Tomorrow?” Nan Ge frowned. “I’m afraid I’m not free.”

“Do you have something important to do tomorrow? Can’t you make time?”

“Oh, I already made dinner plans with my boyfriend tomorrow.”
