Chapter 118: Was It a Dream?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The drizzle hit the glass and turned into water beads that flowed down in a mess.

Supporting Nan Qiao with his arms, Huo Yichcn looked out into the dark night, waiting for a car to arrive.

A lingering rose fragrance lingered between his lips and teeth. Coupled with the slight intoxication, Huo Yichen’s usually clear thoughts became hazy.

Nan Qiao had already closed her eyes and was leaning against Huo Yichcn drowsily. She was unaware of what had happened.

The pleasant fragrance invaded her nose, making Nan Qiao feel like she was back in the middle of summer, still tugging at the corner of his clothes and bringing him breakfast..

He looked very much like that young man with cold eyes.

As the two of them waited in the lobby, a black car slowly stopped at the door. Huo Yichen shifted his gaze away from Nan Qiao and met Murong Chen’s eyes. With just one glance, Murong Chen could sense the hidden emotions in Huo Yichen’s deep eyes.

Holding an umbrella, he walked up to Huo Yichen and looked at the hand on his Little Sister’s shoulder. No matter how he looked at it, it was an eyesore. “Hand her to me.”

Murong Chen lowered his voice, but the coldness in it pressed down on Huo Yichen with an oppressive aura.

Huo Yichen pursed his lips and looked at Murong Chen, as if he could not sense the hostility.

He knew that this person was Nan Qiao’s brother.

Huo Yichen loosened his grip slightly so that Nan Qiao could lean on Murong

Chen. However, the sudden loss of warmth made him feel as if a piece of his heart was missing.

He subconsciously held onto Nan Qiao’s hand, as if he was greedy for the warmth, but slowly let go under Murong Chen’s knife-like gaze.

Now was not the time.

“Goodbye.”

Huo Yichen said softly as he watched Nan Qiao being gently placed in the back seat.

Through the gap between Murong Chen and the car door, Huo Yichen saw that Nan Qiao’s face was still red. His Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Her lips were a little swollen from his kiss.

Huo Yichen suddenly felt secretly delighted, as if he had branded a mark on

Nan Qiao’s body.

“…Big Brother?”

The comforting cold fragrance suddenly left Nan Qiao. Coupled with Murong Chen’s actions, Nan Qiao woke up from her light sleep.

She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Murong Chen, who was standing in front of her in a suit and leather shoes. She could not tell what was going on. “Go to sleep.”

Murong Chen caressed her head gently and covered her with the blanket that he had prepared so that she would not catch a cold.

The car door slowly closed, but Nan Qiao’s eyes, which had yet to close, saw a familiar figure standing outside the car.

He was slender and tall, with a familiar coldness.

Huo Yichen?

She looked blankly at the figure that looked very similar to Huo Yichen. She wanted to open her eyes wide to see if it was the other party, but her mind was so dizzy that even her eyelids became heavier.

In the next second, Nan Qiao could not resist her drunkenness and fell asleep.

“Home.”

Murong Chen said coldly and looked at Huo Yichen who was still standing outside the window.

Wang Tao instinctively felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the President was in a bad mood, so he immediately kept quiet and drove his car obediently.

How dare he still think about Qiaoqiao. If he saw this person again, he would definitely make him dispel this thought.

The car drove off and gradually disappeared from Huo Yichen’s sight.

The man stood there like a statue for a long time before slowly walking away.

The rose-colored night ended just like that. With the vigor of youth, everyone welcomed the impudent summer vacation of high school.

As for Nan Qiao, who had slept soundly, sat up in bed the next day with her head still in pain, and a little confused.

She felt that she had dreamed of the big boss last night…

Her mind was filled with broken images, just like a dream that she couldn’t remember when she woke up. Nan Qiao didn’t expect her alcohol tolerance to be so poor. She was actually so drunk after drinking just a little.

Even Nan Qiao didn’t know how she came back in the end.

She put on her clothes in a daze and went to wash up. Then, she went downstairs and saw the butler, Uncle Yang, preparing breakfast.

“Young Miss, you’re awake.”

Uncle Yang was not surprised to see Nan Qiao coming downstairs with her hand over her head. After all, he was the one who made the hangover soup when Murong Chen brought her back last night.

“Good morning, Uncle Yang.”

Nan Qiao habitually greeted.

She slowly sat in her seat and ate her hot breakfast.

“Young Master wanted to wait for you to wake up today, but he had to leave early because he had something to do at the company.”

Nan Qiao nodded, took the phone, and sent a message to Murong Chen to say good morning.

Then, she saw An Nuo’s message. The other party had sent her a lot of messages since last night, asking if Nan Qiao had arrived home safely. After receiving no response, she sent a few more messages.

Nan Qiao had a sandwich in her mouth and her hands were typing on the keypad as she replied. Almost in the next second, An Nuo replied.

[It’s good that you’re home.]

[I didn’t expect your alcohol tolerance to be so unsatisfactory. If I had known, I would have kept an eye on you.]

[Speaking of which, I heard that there’s a new amusement park that’s not bad. Do you want to go?]

Nan Qiao’s heart warmed when she saw the worry in the other party’s words.

She thought about it and decided to accept the invitation since she had nothing to do tomorrow.

At the same time, with someone’s reminder, she resolved the matter of university application first.

Hui University was the university she had always wanted to go to.

At the thought of Hui University, she thought of Huo Yichen again. She didn’t know what he had been doing recently as she hadn’t seen him for a long time. However, the thought of going to the amusement park with An Nuo distracted her from thinking about Huo Yichen.

The day they arranged to meet was a sunny day, but the weather was a little too scorching.

An Nuo stood at the entrance of the amusement park and waved happily at Nan Qiao, who had gotten out of the car.

“Here, here!”

She raised her voice slightly so that Nan Qiao would notice her presence.

The two of them successfully met.

Nan Qiao had also successfully attracted the attention of countless people.

The girl’s slender figure was wrapped in loose half-sleeves and jeans. She was only wearing a thin shirt that protected her from the sun. Her long black hair was tied into a simple ponytail behind her head. It bounced left and right as she walked, making people’s eyes unconsciously follow her.

“You look beautiful today.”

An Nuo looked at Nan Qiao’s outfit and praised her from the bottom of her heart.

Previously in school, An Nuo had felt that Nan Qiao’s face would definitely look good in anything. Now, it seemed even more so.

She pressed down on the hat she was wearing and handed Nan Qiao the ice cream she had just bought.

“Let’s go in first.”

Nan Qiao took the ice cream and pulled An Nuo inside. It was torture to stay outside on such a hot day.

It was Matcha flavored.

She licked the ice cream that had melted a little under the sun. It sent a refreshing coldness onto her tongue, but the fragrant bitterness wrapped around the tip of her tongue with a rich milky fragrance, tempting her to take another bite.

The two of them used the shelters of the shops on the street to avoid the scorching sun as they walked and stopped in the lively crowd.

“Look at this. It’s so cute.”

From time to time, An Nuo would pull Nan Qiao to look at the shop beside them. She pointed at a big bear doll that was half the height of a person and said in surprise.

She liked these furry things very much. When Nan Qiao met up with An Nuo just now, she happened to see that Nan Qiao’s backpack today also had a kitten head pendant.

“Then I’ll help you win one.”

Nan Qiao spoke and brought An Nuo to the small shop.

Since they were out to play today, they naturally should do whatever they want.

“Twenty yuan for one round of play.”

The stall owner was very enthusiastic. When he saw Nan Qiao and An Nuo coming over, he took the money and placed the toy gun in front of them.

It was a small target shooting game. As long as you hit twenty balloons, you would get the bear doll..
