We Can Meet Today

The restaurant was closed for the night, and the employees had half a day off. Everyone left after receiving their salaries.

The manager came downstairs and saw Nan Ge sitting in the hall, holding her phone and reading something.

“Nan Ge?”

“Why are you still sitting here after work?”

“What are you looking at?” asked the manager as he took two steps toward her. Nan Ge reflexively grabbed the screen and shook her head at him. “N-nothing. I’m looking at my salary..”

“Oh, I see. It should have been transferred to your account by now.”

The manager looked at the time. “It’s getting late. Do you want to go back to school? I’ll drive you there.”

Nan Ge looked around and realized that everyone had already gotten off work. She quickly got up, packed her phone, and said, “I’m not going back yet. I need to shop around and buy a gift for my brother.”

After escaping from the restaurant, Nan Ge ran for a long time before stopping.

There was clearly a cold wind blowing in her face, but her face felt hot to the touch.

She found a random milk tea shop and sat down. Like a review, she flipped through the content again and again.

Ever since she officially delivered food to the president of Huasheng Group, Shen Yanqing had been giving her good reviews.

Other than her revision break and the few days when he went on a business trip, his comments never stopped.

However, she only remembered that she had only mentioned once or twice asking him to help her give a good review.

Nan Ge was sitting right next to the vent of the heater. For some reason, she was a little restless. The warm wind made her dizzy..

Her entire body seemed to be wrapped in clouds and she felt light.

After drinking half a cup of milk tea, she bit on the pearls and swiped her fingers repeatedly on the screen, afraid that she would miss any details.

[She really looks like a baby penguin.]

What kind of evaluation was this?

She finally remembered!

This was the first time Shen Yanqing had given her a good review.

At that time, he said that he could satisfy one of her conditions, so she asked him for a good review.

When Shen Yanqing asked her how to write it, she casually said, “If you really can’t write it, you can praise me.”

So, so.. was this how he usually praised people??

Baby penguins?

Nan Ge imagined the scene when Shen Yanqing called her that.

“Ah..” In the next second, her face turned red and she quickly raised her hand to cover it.

——

“President Shen, is that Miss Nan Ge?”

At the traffic light, Assistant Yuan sat in the front row and took the opportunity to casually glance out the window.

Then, he locked onto Nan Ge, who was sitting by the window in the milk tea shop.

The man in the backseat looked up instinctively. “Huh?”

Assistant Yuan turned around and pointed to the window for him. “Look. The one wearing a white top inside.”

Shen Yanqing rolled down the window and looked in the direction he was pointing.

The milk tea shop not far away was designed with floor-to-ceiling windows. Transparent glass occupied an entire wall. From the outside, one could see the scene inside clearly.

Shen Yanqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure sitting in front of the window with her head lowered. She had her hair tied into a ponytail and was wearing a white colored top.

The little girl seemed to be looking at her phone and did not look up for a long time.

Still, he recognized it.

It was indeed Nan Ge.

The driver looked at the green light and reminded Shen Yanqing, “President Shen, the light is green.”

Shen Yanqing snapped out of his thoughts and closed the document in his hand. “Turn around in front and stop by the side.”

——

Nan Zhe and his friend’s restaurant was located on the more prosperous commercial street of Huai City. There were many people nearby, especially during holidays.

Shen Yanqing cut through the crowd and slowly walked towards the milk tea shop.

There were not many customers in the shop. Most of them left after buying.

Nan Ge was the only one sitting in front of the window.

Shen Yanqing walked to the window and stopped. His gaze fell on the petite figure inside through the glass.

No one knew what Nan Ge was looking at, but she was so focused that she did not even notice him. Upon closer inspection, she had a complicated expression on her face. She was happy, confused, and puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yanqing stood still and looked at her quietly.

This was blatant peeping.

Everyone knew except Nan Ge.

Looking at her lively expression, Shen Yanqing’s lips curled up slightly.

She was small and her head swayed. She really looked like a baby penguin.

After a while, the exquisite baby penguin in the window suddenly covered her face with her hand. From his angle, the little girl’s ears and neck were flushed red.

...

He did not know what had happened.

Just as he was about to stop her, he saw her look at the phone in her hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, her fingers began to tap on the screen.

After about half a minute, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

For some reason, his heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that it was a message from Nan Ge.

His gaze did not move as he stared at the figure inside. His hand that was hanging by his side reached into his coat pocket and took out his phone.

historical

He unlocked it and opened WeChat.

Baby Penguin: [My hand is fine. See you tomorrow.]

Shen Yanqing’s fingers paused for a moment. The next moment, he thought of the good review he had written at lunchtime.

She saw it.

Baby Penguin saw it.

An unknown emotion flashed across the man’s dark eyes under his glasses. Then, he raised his long eyelashes slightly and a smile slowly spread across his eyes.

...

——

After sending the message, Nan Ge calmed down.

She did not think that Shen Yanqing would have time to reply to her, so she simply turned off her phone.

Ding dong.

It was as if there was an invisible string that was tightly pulling at her nerves.

For some reason, before she turned on her phone, she felt that it must be Shen Yanqing’s reply.

At this moment, her fingers felt burning hot as she unlocked her phone.

Shen: [I don’t think I need to wait to see you tomorrow.]

Nan Ge was confused.

Did this mean that they would not be able to see each other tomorrow?

Thinking of this, Nan Ge pursed her lips and felt inexplicably disappointed.

This disappointment was different from the fleeting subtle emotions from before. At this moment, she could accurately feel her low emotions.

Yes, she was longing to meet Shen Yanqing.

Or rather, she was used to meeting Shen Yanqing.

The last time she could not see Shen Yanqing because of her revision, she did not realize that she had started feeling this way.

That little bit of disappointment was quickly replaced by other thoughts, giving her no time to think carefully.

Thanks to her slow reaction, she had only just noticed it, but this emotion had already begun to overflow.

After realizing this, Nan Ge’s breathing quickened.

She raised and lowered her fingers on the screen. The warmth of her fingertips reached her heart.

[I..] She typed and silently deleted it. Her mind suddenly went blank and she did not know how to reply.

Just as she was looking around in confusion, the phone in her palm vibrated again.

A new text message came into sight.

[I’m very lucky to be able to see you today.]

[Look up.]
