Extra Chapter 3: Brother’s Story
This was the first time Qi Yan and Nan Zhe had gone on a trip.
The two of them played in the surrounding cities for three days. It was already late at night when they returned. The sky outside the window was dark. Qi Yan glanced at the navigation information and saw that it was estimated to be around two o’clock when they arrived in Huai City.
Originally, the two of them planned to go back tomorrow morning, but she had a shoot tomorrow morning. Afraid that it would be too late, in order to accommodate her, Nan Zhe said that they would go back tonight.
Seeing that she was yawning non-stop, Nan Zhe said, “If you’re tired, sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up when we get home.”
“No need, no need.” Qi Yan shook her head. “I’ll chat with you.”
Nan Zhe was also very tired today. In addition, it was very late now. She was worried that he would be tired from driving, so she wanted to chat with him and cheer him up.
However, she seemed to be thinking too much.
Nan Zhe often went out to drink and party at night. At this time, his nightlife had only just begun.
“By the way, why didn’t you go to Tibet last time? I thought you would go with the others.”
“If you’re not going, who should I go with?” Nan Zhe held the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. “Are you hungry? I have food here.”
As he spoke, he stretched his hand back and felt around for a long time before taking out a paper bag from behind. There were snacks he had bought before he set off. They were specially prepared for her.
He placed them in her arms. “I think they’re all your favorites. I don’t think you ate much tonight.”
“I’m on a diet tonight.” Although she said that, Qi Yan still opened the bag. With the help of the street lamp outside the window, she could see the snacks inside. They were indeed her favorite snacks.
“What’s there to lose? You’re already at the standard weight.”
“I deal with models and celebrities all day long. They’re the thin ones.”
“Why are you competing with them? They’re as thin as pork ribs. They’re not good-looking at all.”
Qi Yan was amused by him. She opened a bag of potato chips and handed him a piece.
Nan Zhe looked down and did not move.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Qi Yan leaned toward him and brought the potato chips to his lips.
Seeing that he had eaten, Qi Yan retracted her hand and changed the topic.
“Why don’t I accompany you to Tibet at the end of the year?”
“Do you have time at the end of the year?”
“I’m not sure. I’ll try my best to be free. How long do you want to spend there?”
“If we have enough time, I want to drive myself. It might take longer. If we don’t have time, we can take a plane. A week is about right.”
Hearing his words, Qi Yan lowered her head and began to think about her work at the end of the year.
According to Nan Zhe, it would take at least a month to drive.
“I don’t think I can drive myself. Why don’t…”
“It’s okay. It’s already very difficult to drive on your own. You’re not comfortable sitting in the car either.” Before she could finish speaking, Nan Zhe naturally gave her a way out.
“Then let’s go together at the end of the year.”
“I’d like that.”
Nan Zhe nodded and did not say anything else.
“Why don’t you ask me why I really want to go there?”
“Why?” Qi Yan couldn’t help but look up at him and guess. “Is it because boys like excitement and adventure? Or do you want to find true freedom?”
Hearing her words, Nan Zhe laughed out loud. “Tsk, I’m already so old. What’s there to be excited about?”
“What age are you? You’re still young in your twenties. We’re the same age.
Now that you mention it, I’m starting to get anxious,” Qi Yan said deliberately.
Nan Zhe smiled and did not continue to make an issue out of age.
Seeing that he had fallen silent, Qi Yan insisted on asking him why he wanted to go.
Nan Zhe shrugged. When he turned to look at her, there was a glint in his eyes. “I can’t tell you now. Let’s talk when we get there.”
Qi Yan,
After returning to Huai City, Qi Yan began to get busy again, and so did Nan Zhe. However, during this period, the two of them still maintained contact and called each other every day.
Qi Yan slowly got used to this interaction. Every day, she would “report” everything she did to Nan Zhe. Similarly, Nan Zhe was the same.
Not long after the second half of the year, Qi Yan realized that she had lost contact with Nan Zhe.
She did not receive a reply to the message she sent.
No one picked up the call she made.
After a day, Nan Zhe called back.
At that time, Qi Yan was busy. When she heard her assistant say that she had a call, she had a feeling that it was Nan Zhe. She quickly put down the equipment and went out to answer the call.
Looking at the caller ID, she heaved a sigh of relief and picked up the call. “What happened to you yesterday? Did something happen?”
The person on the other side was silent for a moment. He seemed to have sighed and his mood was not right.
Qi Yan stood up straight and gripped her phone tightly. “Where are you now?
Jiang City?”
“Yes.” Perhaps sensing her intentions, Nan Zhe explained, “It’s nothing serious.
I forgot to charge my phone yesterday.”
Qi Yan did not let him off and began to get to the bottom of it. Just from his tone, she felt that he was not in a good situation.
“Are you sick?”
When he did not answer, she began to make wild guesses.
“No. What can happen to my body?” He smiled, but she could tell that he was not happy.
She frowned. “Nan Zhe.”
Qi Yan rarely called him by his full name.
“I’m here.”
If one listened carefully, it was an attempt to pretend to be relaxed.
“I’ll look for you now. Are you at home? Or at the office?”
She knew where Nan Zhe’s house was. She had known since junior high school, but she had never been there.
He probably hadn’t moved either.
“I’m fine. It’s just that the old man’s health isn’t good. I’m accompanying him in the hospital, really.” Nan Zhe finally told the truth. “Shall I go over and take a look?”
No matter what, he was Nan Zhe’s grandfather.
“No need.” Nan Zhe knew that she was busy. “The old man is in the ICU now. You won’t be able to see him even if you come. Let’s wait for a while.”
…Alright.” After Qi Yan agreed, he began to comfort him.
In her memory, Nan Zhe was very close to his grandparents. He seemed to have grown up beside them.
“Alright, alright. I’m fine.” After listening to her talk for a while, Nan Zhe was much better. “Aren’t you busy today?”
Hearing this, Qi Yan remembered her job. She turned around and glanced at the model through the transparent glass. She looked a little impatient.
After a moment of silence, she said helplessly, “I still have filming here. I’ll call you tonight. Don’t be too sad. Remember to eat.”
He smiled and agreed. “Alright, alright.”
On the other side, in the hospital’s emergency corridor, the smile on Nan Zhe’s face disappeared when he hung up the phone.
Letting out a long sigh of relief, he turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.
When he returned, she bumped into Nan Ge. Nan Zhe was a little surprised. “Why are you here again?”
Nan Ge had come once early in the morning.
“I’m here to bring you food.” Compared to him, Nan Ge looked better..
