59 Give Me Some Time Tonight
Shen Yanqing prepared to leave after he finished eating with his grandmother.
He did not like to spend the night here.
He had only taken two steps when he received a call from his mother.
“You went to see your grandmother?”
“Yes. My cousin said…”
“How many times have I told you not to disturb your grandmother?”
“Are you ignoring my words again? I’m your mother. Why don’t you listen to me?!”
“…No.” Shen Yanqing stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists tightly in his coat pocket. “First of all, Grandma asked my cousin to contact me and asked me to come over for dinner.”
“Secondly, she’s my grandmother and I’m her grandson. I think it’s reasonable for us to have a meal together.”
“Then why didn’t you contact me first? Shouldn’t you confirm it with me?”
Taking a deep breath, he controlled his voice and said calmly, “I called and emailed you, but you didn’t reply.”
“Grandma has prepared the dishes, so I could only come over first.”
“But don’t worry. I didn’t stay for long. It was only 40 minutes.”
“I’m out now.”
“Next time, I’ll wait for your reply before making a decision. Is that okay?”
“…”
“It’s already a little late here. I still have to drive, so I won’t…”
Before he could finish speaking, footsteps approached from the corner. They sounded a little anxious.
Before he could look up, the other party suddenly appeared from the corner and bumped into him.
Bang!
The phone and the figure opposite him fell to the ground.
Hearing the commotion on his end, his mother could not help but ask, “Hello? Did something happen?”
Shen Yanqing was hit hard and took a step back to steady himself.
Of course, the ball on the ground was in an even worse state than him.
When Nan Ge sat on the ground, she was dumbfounded.
Of course, it was not her butt that was hurting now, but her head.
She did not know if she had hit the other party somewhere, but she felt that the top of her head was still trembling and her head was dizzy.
She shook it hard, but the more she shook, the dizzier she became.
“Nan…” Shen Yanqing slowly squatted down in surprise. “Nan Ge?”
At first, when he heard the other party wail, he thought of Nan Ge.
In the end, when he took a closer look, it was true.
“Why are you here?” After blurting it out, Shen Yanqing felt that he had asked the most useless question.
He reached out and helped her up. “Are you hurt?”
“Dizzy? Or did you knock yourself somewhere else?”
Nan Ge’s body swayed. She only regained her balance after he hugged her.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I-I’m fine…” After a while, she looked up at Shen Yanqing. “It’s you?!”
Shen Yan’s thin lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the phone on the ground and a lady’s bag.
He bent down to pick up the things. His phone showed that the call had ended.
It ended a minute ago.
He hid the disappointment in his eyes and casually put his phone into his coat pocket.
When he looked up again, he smiled at Nan Ge and handed her the bag. “What a coincidence.”
Nan Ge hugged her bag. “Yes, yes! Why are you here?”
“My grandmother lives here, so I came over to have dinner with her.”
Nan Ge’s eyes lit up. She tilted her body and looked behind him. “Which family is your grandmother from? Is it also in this alley?”
“Yes, the innermost house.”
“My grandmother lives here too!” Nan Ge pulled him around and showed him the small door beside her. “This is my grandmother’s house!”
It was Shen Yanqing’s turn to be stunned.
“What a coincidence!”
Nan Ge did not expect to meet Shen Yanqing here. Moreover, they seemed fated to meet.
The baby penguin’s excitement was written all over her face. She hugged her bag and danced as she said to him, “It’s really close. One house is at the head and the other one is at the tail!”
“Do you come here often? Have I seen you before?”
“Wow, have we really met before?”
“Hey. Do you think our grandmothers are also friends? I’m going to ask my grandmother later!”
“My grandmother is very famous in this alley. Your grandmother might really know her!”
She was still chattering, but Shen Yanqing did not feel frustrated at all.
On the contrary, his originally unstable mood seemed to have been comforted at this moment and slowly calmed down.
The disappointment that had pierced his heart like a long needle suddenly disappeared completely.
In its place was an indescribable joy driven by the baby penguin.
He reached out and tucked her messy hair behind her ear before replying, “I don’t think our grandmothers know each other.”
He was very patient and responded to her every word. “Because my grandmother hasn’t left the house for a long time.”
“Maybe they met a few years ago, but my grandmother is old now. I don’t know if she still remembers.”
Nan Ge waved her hand. “It’s fine. My grandmother is very good at mahjong. We can ask your grandmother out to play mahjong with her another day. They can get to know each other again.”
“I’m afraid she can’t play mahjong. Her health isn’t great, so it’s not convenient for her to go out.”
“Oh, I see.” Hearing this, Nan Ge quickly stopped smiling. “Then, then…”
She stammered for a long time and did not know what to say.
Just as she was feeling conflicted, the person opposite her suddenly asked, “Are you going back now?”
Nan Ge came back to her senses and nodded. “Yes, I went to get Mom’s bag just now.”
As she spoke, she took her bag forward and especially showed it to him.
It was as if she wanted to confirm what she had said.
“Then go back quickly. It’s a little cold outside.”
“Oh…” Nan Ge blinked and obediently took two steps forward with her bag. A few seconds later, she turned around reluctantly.
Behind her, Shen Yanqing did not move. His gaze was still on her. Seeing her look over, his lips curled up and he smiled at her.
“Um, are you going back to Huai City now?”
“Correct.”
“Oh.”
It was inexplicably awkward here.
Nan Ge scratched her head. Her rationality told her that Shen Yanqing was going back now and could not waste his time.
Although this place was close to Huai City, it would take two hours to return to the city center.
However, she still felt a little… reluctant.
She really wanted to chat with him for a while longer, just a little longer, but…
Their eyes met.
Nan Ge was not the only one struggling. Shen Yanqing was also struggling.
As if sensing that Baby Penguin had the same thoughts as him, he boldly approached her and asked in a low voice, “Do you have anything else to do later?”
“Huh? Me?” Nan Ge shook her head. “No. I just finished eating.”
“Are you sleepy?”
Nan Ge still shook her head. When she was watching television in the afternoon, she could not help but sleep for a while. It was still early.
After getting the answer he wanted, Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and reached out to her. “Why don’t you give me some time tonight?”
