I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini-Chapter 47 - Keep Baby Penguin by His Side
47 Keep Baby Penguin by His Side
A pair of wooden chopsticks gently stirred the noodles. Shen Yanqing had just picked up one or two strands of noodles when he was forced to stop.
He raised his head, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
“What?”
Opposite him, Baby Penguin only revealed her small head. She held her hands on both sides of her face and pursed her lips slightly with a faint smile on her face. In order to go to the concert today, she had put on light makeup and carefully dressed up. She was very beautiful.
!!
However, her eyes were clear now. At this moment, she seemed to have seen through his disguise and inner thoughts.
Under the gaze of such clean eyes, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
Their eyes met.
Nan Ge was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she explained to him.
“I just saw someone say that a thirty-second hug can relieve a third of your pressure.”
“Oh.” He subconsciously glanced up at the chandelier as he analyzed it carefully. “In that case, won’t one and a half minutes alleviate all the pressure and trouble?”
Baby Penguin felt that it was not good to say this. She scratched her head and struggled to say, “Of course, I don’t mean you are stressed or troubled. Hmmm. I just feel that this… can make you a little happier.”
“Although it doesn’t sound true, there’s no harm trying, right? What if it’s true?”
“Do you want a hug?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up calmly and opened her arms to him.
Shen Yanqing sat on the spot, still maintaining his previous posture. He looked at her with his dark eyes.
Nan Ge did not move and just waited for him.
Finally, the man in the seat moved.
Nan Ge smiled, her pink lips slightly parted.
The light in front of her was suddenly blocked by a tall figure, and the shadow fell on her like the rising tide.
The next second, a familiar aura approached and wrapped around her tightly.
When he leaned over, he seemed to have used all his strength.
Nan Ge lost her balance, went forward, and fell into his arms.
This was also the first time she was so intimate with the opposite sex.
When she was in her teens, she already stopped hugging her brother. Moreover, her brother had always told her to keep a distance from the opposite sex.
Hence, Nan Ge’s first reaction was to get up from his arms. It was not appropriate for her to lie in his arms.
However, the man restrained himself and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Although he did not use much strength, she instantly lost the thought of getting up.
For a moment, Nan Ge did not know where to put her hand.
At an angle that Shen Yanqing could not see, her cheek was close to his heart through the soft fabric of the suit jacket.
She did not know if it was because of his strong heartbeat, but her ears were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed.
One and a half minutes seemed like a century.
After a long silence, the little wings on both sides of the baby penguin kept raising and lowering, flapping.
After struggling for a while, the baby penguin finally mustered its courage and raised its small wings to wrap them around the man’s lean waist.
She patted his back gently.
As she had nowhere to put her hand just now, she silently held it by her side for a long time, so a layer of warm sweat had already appeared on her palm.
The moment her soft palm landed, Shen Yanqing slowly opened his eyes.
His deep eyes under the glasses darkened as she patted him rhythmically to comfort him.
He rarely made up his mind in a short period of time, nor did he have anything he yearned for.
But this time, he really wanted to keep Baby Penguin by his side.
Of course, no one could stop him except Nan Ge.
——
After the New Year’s Eve, Nan Ge drove her car back to Jiang City with her luggage.
She had not gone back for the entire semester. During the holidays, she would either stay in school or go out with her friends and roommates.
Because of this, her parents nagged for a long time.
Knowing that she would be back in the morning, Mrs. Nan woke up early to wait. Mr. Nan did not go out and sat downstairs early in the morning to watch the morning news.
When Nan Zhe woke up, it was already late in the morning.
“Oh my, why are you only up now?” Mrs. Nan looked at him in disdain. “Look at you. Where did you fool around last night?”
Nan Zhe yawned and sat on the sofa, looking sloppy.
“Last night, they asked me out for a drink. I stayed out a little late.”
“What time did you get back?”
“I can’t remember.” Nan Zhe took a sip of water. “Five or six o’clock.”
“You!” Mrs. Nan was about to die of anger. “You’re already so old, but you don’t know how to cherish your health at all! What if you suddenly die?”
“I also saw a piece of news the day before yesterday. A young man in his twenties drank until dawn and suddenly died.”
“How could you…”
Nan Zhe’s head throbbed from the nagging. He glanced at the door as if he had seen his savior. “Mom! Nan Ge is back.”
...
Hearing this, Mrs. Nan quickly turned to look out of the door. Sure enough, she saw her youngest daughter dragging her luggage into the courtyard.
“Oh my. Youyou is back!” Mrs. Nan clapped her hands and quickly stood up to walk out. After taking two steps, she turned around and glared at Nan Zhe. “Look at how lazy you are. You’ve already seen your sister. Why aren’t you helping to move her luggage?”
“It’s not like she can’t move it herself.”
“Nonsense! She is still a child.”
“Just look at you. You’re burly and eat even more than the chimpanzees in the zoo!”
“…” Nan Zhe squeezed out a smile. “Okay. I’ll move her stuff.”
——
Nan Zhe walked out slowly and took the suitcase from Nan Ge’s hand. He asked casually, “Where did you park?”
“Same place,” Nan Ge told him quietly.
Because her parents did not know that she was secretly driving her brother’s car, every time she came back, she would park the car in a safe place.
Nan Zhe nodded. “Alright. Go in quickly.”
...
“What’s wrong?” Seeing his speechless expression, Nan Ge could not help but ask.
Nan Zhe replied, “There’s no place for me in this family.”
Nan Ge looked at her mother, who had jogged out in front of her and then at her brother. She roughly understood what he meant.
She patted her brother’s shoulder and comforted him with a smile. “How can that be, Brother? Including our dog, the little turtle Dad raised, and a pool of koi fish, you can still be in the top five.”
“You still have status in the family.”
Nan Zhe replied huffily, “…Thanks.”
There were only four living people in total, and he was ranked fifth.
After returning home, Nan Ge’s vacation officially began.
As New Year was approaching, she was a little busy visiting relatives.
Of course, her brother, Nan Zhe, was busier than her.
For three consecutive days, her brother had gatherings every day and would only come back when it was almost dawn.
On the fourth day, Nan Zhe still wanted to go out. In order to make him come back early, Mrs. Nan specially sent Nan Ge to go with him.
During the meal, Nan Ge went to the bathroom.
While she was not around, Nan Zhe took a cigarette from a friend and wanted to light it.
His childhood friend, who was scrolling through his phone, said, “Hey, Brother Nan. Why is there a photo with Sister Nan Ge in Shen Yanqing’s Moments?”
On the other side, Nan Zhe’s hand trembled and the lighter burned his hand.
