I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini

When he was injected with the drip, his consciousness was already a little blurry.

Assistant Yuan put down the hot water and told Miaomiao to go back to the hotel first. She could leave the rest to him.

Miaomiao gestured for him to call her if he had any problems.

Assistant Yuan waved his hand and told her to just leave.

Before long, only Assistant Yuan and Shen Yanqing, who was lying on the bed and resting, were left in the ward.

Ding dong. A new message came in.

Assistant Yuan stood up and walked to the bedside table. He looked down at the phone that was charging.

There were a few WeChat messages.

However, he could not see who sent it.

He turned his head and glanced at Shen Yanqing, who was still asleep.

After some thought, he put the phone down and ignored it.

Shen Yanqing could not be left alone. It was still afternoon in London. Fortunately, he was not sleepy. He found a seat in the ward and sat down, conveniently dealing with the unfinished work.

However, a few minutes later, the other party seemed to be unwilling to give up and called directly.

An urgent ringtone exploded in the quiet ward.

Assistant Yuan stopped typing.

Afraid of waking Shen Yanqing up, he rushed over and picked up the phone.

He casually glanced at the caller ID and was stunned.

It was Nan Ge.

Just as Assistant Yuan was hesitating if he should answer it, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, looking like he had been disturbed. He frowned and asked him, “Who’s calling?”

“Uh.” Assistant Yuan looked at Shen Yanqing and then at the name displayed. “It’s… Miss Nan Ge.”

“Why don’t I answer it for you? Tell her you’re busy?”

Shen Yanqing was silent for a few seconds before reaching out to him. “Give it to me.”

“Alright.” Assistant Yuan unplugged the charging cable and handed it to him.

After taking the phone, Shen Yanqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen. After confirming that it was really Nan Ge, he pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

“It’s me, Shen Yanqing.”

She hadn’t heard his voice for a few days. When he suddenly spoke, the person on the other end of the line was stunned for a long time.

“Nan Ge?” Without hearing her voice, Shen Yanqing thought the call had ended.

“Ah, I’m here!” Nan Ge said slowly. “What’s wrong? Your voice sounds a little weird… Do you have a cold?”

“Yeah.”

Shen Yanqing’s voice was nasal and a little hoarse.

Compared to his usual gentle voice, it was still very obvious.

“Ah, no wonder you didn’t reply to my messages.”

Looking at the time, Nan Ge said, “Are you at home now? Why don’t I go over and see you?”

There was still some distance between Huai University and Shen Yanqing’s apartment.

She estimated the time. “I can be there in about forty minutes.”

As she spoke, she climbed down from the top bunk and used her other hand to hold her phone while her other hand reached for her down jacket.

A few roommates beside her stuck their heads out one after another. Su Hui asked her what she was going to do. Nan Ge waved her hand and made a shushing gesture before continuing to talk on the phone.

“Have you had dinner? Is there anything you want to eat? I can bring it along. It won’t take long.”

She spoke very quickly. When she finally paused, Shen Yanqing finally had the chance to interrupt. “Don’t bother. I’m on a business trip in London. I’m not in Huai City.”

“Huh?” Nan Ge stopped putting on her clothes.

“Today…” As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanqing cleared his throat. He took the phone away and tilted his head to cough twice.

Assistant Yuan quickly helped him up and let him take a sip of water.

After moistening his throat, he leaned against the headboard and picked up his phone again. “I just arrived today.”

“I see.”

Nan Ge could not hide the disappointment in her voice. She looked down at the down jacket in her hand and silently put it back in the wardrobe. “Then rest well. Your health is still more important than work. London seems to be colder than Huai City. Remember to wear more when you go out.”

“Okay,” Shen Yanqing replied in a low voice.

She pursed her lower lip. “Then I’ll…”

“Nan Ge.”

Shen Yanqing interrupted her.

“Huh?”

“Is there anything else?”

The call continued. There was silence on both sides.

It was very quiet on Shen Yanqing’s end. Nan Ge’s ear was close to the phone, and she could still hear his heavy breathing.

...

After a few seconds or so, he said, “I have a question for you and I need an answer urgently right now.”

“Huh?” Nan Ge was confused.

“That day…” Shen Yanqing’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He opened his dry lips and changed his question.

“I want to know if you’re single now.”

After asking the question with difficulty, he closed his eyes and suddenly regretted it.

He had clearly seen it and clearly knew that the probability of obtaining the answer he wanted was very small, almost negligible.

However, he stubbornly needed an answer. He had to admit he still bore some hope.

Nothing had started between them yet.

Yet, the gavel had gone down declaring his love for her was not meant to be.

However, he resented the answer.

Even if it was the death penalty, it should be carried out by Nan Ge.

...

He wanted to hear her say it.

Time passed slowly. This was undoubtedly a painful death for Shen Yanqing.

“Of course I’m single.”

Nan Ge did not think there was anything to hide from this question. She answered truthfully, “My brother said that the boys in university are liars who only know how to talk glibly. He told me to stay away from them.”

“He told me he’d been there. He told me not to try looking for a man among the garbage.”

“At first, I felt that my brother was lying to me. However, during the first-year military training, a senior suddenly confessed to me, making me feel very awkward…

“At that time, many people were there. After I rejected him, that senior criticized me on the forum and even spread rumors about me.”

“After that, I felt that my brother’s words were indeed smart.”

Hence, she was already a sophomore and had never been in a relationship.

Don’t ask, just follow your brother’s instructions.

“Alright, have a good rest first. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“…Okay.” His expression was unclear. “Then, good night.”

“Uh-uh.”

——

After the call ended, Shen Yanqing seemed to be frozen in place.

Naturally, Assistant Yuan could not hear Nan Ge’s answer over the phone. He could only judge by observing Shen Yanqing’s expression and reaction.

Seeing that he did not move, Assistant Yuan could not figure it out for a moment. He probed, “President Shen? Are you alright?”

Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Judging from his expression, was he really jilted?

Erm…

“Why did you have to ask?”

Didn’t it only make you sadder?

Assistant Yuan sighed silently and felt sorry for Shen Yanqing.

“It’s fine, President Shen. That man is inferior to you. If anything is wrong, it’s Miss Nan Ge’s bad taste in men. You’re still an outstanding man! Don’t doubt yourself! Don’t be discouraged!”

“Although that man is also rich and handsome, he has a bad temper! It’s like he’s eaten a bomb. Trust me, they’ll definitely break up in less than a month!”
