Nan Yan stood on the platform, feeling somewhat speechless.
However, Nan Yan, being Nan Yan, didn’t find such matters particularly bothersome.
She turned her head to ask Shen Junqing, “Third Brother, where should we go?”
“Let’s find a quiet place nearby,” Shen Junqing’s eyes remained fixed on Bai Chen’s hand resting on Nan Yan’s shoulder.
He really wanted to chop that hand off!
Bloody thoughts lingered in his mind, but Shen Junqing maintained a gentle expression. “Yanyan, do you want to have milk tea or coffee?”
Nan Yan casually replied, “Milk tea, I guess.”
“I remember there’s a milk tea shop with excellent taste. Many girls like to buy milk tea there.”
Shen Junqing smiled and asked, “Shall we go there?”
“Sure.”
Nan Yan nodded, then turned to Bai Chen. “You drive and follow Third Brother. There are some things I need to discuss with him, so I’ll ride in his car.”
Bai Chen simply acknowledged with a grunt but gave Shen Junqing an even more unfriendly look.
Indeed, apart from Qin Lu, there were now other men around Little Yanyan!
This discovery left Bai Chen quite displeased.
Back when they were together, there were only a few of them around Little Yanyan. But after she joined the Xi Shijin Laboratory, the number of people surrounding her kept increasing.
‘o *))) Sigh.
Little Yanyan’s popularity was just too high. There were too few people who could resist her charm…
When Shen Junqing heard Nan Yan say she would go with him, he shot Bai Chen a triumphant look.
Bai Chen: ‘
Where did this immature man come from!
After the three of them got into their respective cars, the two luxury cars left the entrance of Zhide High School, one behind the other.
Once they were gone, the observing parents began to discuss the relationship between Nan Yan, Shen Junqing, and Bai Chen.
However, as the person involved, Nan Yan didn’t mind at all what others thought of their relationship.
What she cared about the least was the opinions of outsiders.
In the car, Shen Junqing asked casually while driving, “Yanyan, you have an exam in about ten days, right?” “Yeah, to be precise, it’s in eleven days.”
In less than two weeks.
After the exams, it would be summer vacation.
As high school juniors, most people wouldn’t waste the entire two months of summer vacation and would opt for additional classes. After all, the next semester would be their senior year.
For senior year, they would be preparing for the college entrance exams.
However, Nan Yan didn’t have to worry about studying or the college entrance exams.
If it weren’t for the goal of getting into the Imperial University, she wouldn’t even want to participate in the college entrance exams.
Unfortunately, she had to go through this process to get into the Imperial University.
Shen Junqing glanced at her from the corner of his eye. “So, what are your plans for the summer vacation?”
Nan Yan replied calmly, “After the exams, I have to make a trip to the Imperial City. Then, I’ll participate in an exchange program in M Country with the school’s teachers, which will last for about half a month.”
She also planned to visit her master in Shennongjia during the summer vacation.
Summer vacation hadn’t even started yet, but she had already planned how to spend it.
Her trip to M Country was a necessity.
If she had the opportunity, she wanted to meet Xi Shijin and unveil his true identity.
“Yanyan, you’re so busy,” Shen Junqing commented in an exasperated tone.
A young girl who was still in school seemed to be busier than him. He really couldn’t fathom what she was busy with every day.
“Yeah, indeed,” Nan Yan casually leaned back in her seat, her expression calm.
Compared to before, she actually had a lot more free time now.
Otherwise, how could she have the time to experience what it was like to be a student at school?
“Third Brother, do you have something on your mind?” she asked.
“Originally, I wanted to take you to M Country to broaden your horizons. There’s a global racing championship taking place during your summer vacation,” Shen Junqing explained.
“I’ll see if I have time then. Third brother, do you want to participate or be a
spectator?”
“If you’re available, I’ll naturally be a contestant with you. If you don’t have time, then forget it. I’ll just join in the fun and be a spectator.”
Shen Junqing’s enthusiasm for racing had waned recently.
It was mainly because he had witnessed Nan Yan’s racing skills and realized he wasn’t as skilled as he thought. He could play casually, but competing with professional racers was a different story.
Nan Yan sensed the implication in Shen Junqing’s words and thought for a moment before speaking, “When is the competition? Tell me in advance. In your name, sign me up.”
“Can you spare the time?” Shen Junqing didn’t want to put her in a difficult position.
Nan Yan’s lips curled up slightly. “I can make time for a single race.”
Shen Junqing’s eyes brightened. “Great! When I get back, I’ll take care of the registration! ”
“Okay. ”
There was a moment of silence in the car. Shen Junqing couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Yanyan, who was that guy just now?”
He had known Nan Yan for quite some time and hadn’t seen any other men who seemed close to her. However, Bai Chen didn’t give off the impression of being just an ordinary friend.
Nan Yan lowered her gaze, her eyes fixed on the seatbelt fastened across her. She replied calmly, “He used to be a very close friend of mine.”
Apart from those who had been close to her in the past, she didn’t want to share the details of what had happened with anyone else. Even Qin Lu and Grandpa An were no exceptions.
She was afraid that if she did share, they would see her as an oddity, an extraterrestrial being.
But…
Nan Yan had a keen sense that Qin Lu might have some suspicions about her true identity. However, she believed he didn’t bear any ill will towards her.
She trusted that he wouldn’t harm her.
“How did you end up in such a situation with a friend like him in the past?” Shen Junqing’s questions were always sharp.
Nan Yan murmured, “Maybe I was too naive back then…”
If she hadn’t been so naive and had placed too much trust in Xi Shijin, she might never have had the chance to meet the people she knew now.
Gain or loss, she couldn’t even discern them herself anymore.
Soon, the car pulled up at the milk tea shop Shen Junqing had mentioned earlier.
Bai Chen followed behind in his car, and when he saw Shen Junqing’s car stop, he also parked his vehicle.
The three of them entered the milk tea shop together.
At this time, the shop was relatively quiet, with only two girls sitting in a corner, engrossed in watching something on their tablets.
“Yanyan, what kind of milk tea would you like?” Shen Junqing called Nan Yan over, and she looked at the menu, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
She and milk tea had crossed paths only a few times, a total of not more than two or three times, courtesy of the high school sophomores in Class 4 who had offered her some.
Staring at the list of names, she couldn’t match them with any flavors.
Instead, she simply pointed to one at random.
Shen Junqing ordered himself a soda.
Bai Chen glanced at the menu but had no idea about the choices listed, so he ordered a milk tea that was the same as what Nan Yan had chosen. Once the milk teas were ready, the three of them took seats by the window. “Let’s introduce ourselves first. Shen Junqing, Bai Chen.”
Nan Yan, with a straw in her mouth, pointed at each of them and briefly introduced their names to one another.
As for other details, she had no intention of sharing more.
“Hello, Mr. Bai.”
“Hello, Mr. Shen.”
In Nan Yan’s presence, the two men shook hands with each other.
However, after their hands were clasped together, neither of them let go.
Instead. they both began to exert subtle pressure in secret….
