Chapter 23: Are You Nervous?

The front passenger seat?

Shen Meng’s heart began pounding wildly.

Is… is that really where I’m allowed to sit?

The delight in her eyes was impossible to hide.

She couldn’t believe such incredible luck had fallen into her lap.

Watching the constant changes in her expression, He Nanzhou found himself inexplicably amused.

“Don’t worry.”

“My driving is very good.”

“You’ll be perfectly safe.”

“Th-Thank you…”

Clutching her pink handbag, Shen Meng lowered her head and carefully got into the passenger seat.

Her eyelashes drooped as she stared intently at the little rabbit printed on her bag.

It was as if those long bunny ears were a priceless masterpiece.

Ahhh—!

Countless fireworks exploded inside her mind.

She was so happy that she almost forgot what day it was.

Shi Yubai…

Thank you so much!

I’ll definitely treat Suisui to a big meal later… and you’re invited too!


As He Nanzhou prepared to drive, his long fingers lightly tapped the steering wheel.

“Shen Meng.”

“Are you nervous?”

“N-No.”

She didn’t dare raise her head.

She didn’t dare look him in the eyes.

Inside the enclosed car, her heartbeat sounded like pounding drums.

She was afraid that if she wasn’t careful…

He Nanzhou would hear it.

The more she told herself not to look…

The more she wanted to steal little glances at him.

Watching her keep her head lowered, He Nanzhou almost worried that her neck would start hurting.

“I’m glad you trust me.”

“But you still need to fasten your seat belt.”

After a brief flurry of fumbling, Shen Meng finally managed to buckle it.

Afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist sneaking looks at him…

She simply closed her eyes and pretended to be sleepy.

…Sigh.

Shen Meng.

You’re so hopeless.

What a perfect opportunity.

All you’d have to do is turn your head slightly to see him.

And what are you doing?

Pretending to sleep?

You’re sitting in your dream guy’s passenger seat!

How could you possibly fall asleep?

If Suisui and Xue’er saw how cowardly you’re acting…

They’d definitely laugh at you.

He Nanzhou drove steadily.

Between her racing thoughts and emotional exhaustion…

Shen Meng actually fell asleep.

After parking in the underground garage, Shi Yubai carefully lifted Xu Sui’an into his arms.

“Xiao Bai…”

Still half-asleep, Xu Sui’an frowned slightly and mumbled softly.

“I’m here.”

Leaning close to her ear, Shi Yubai gently answered with just two words.

Hearing his familiar voice and smelling the faint scent of grass and flowers that always clung to him…

The little crease between Xu Sui’an’s brows gradually relaxed.

The elevator numbers climbed steadily.

9.

The doors slowly opened.

Carrying Xu Sui’an in his arms, Shi Yubai walked toward the apartment they now called home.


Xu Sui’an slept deeply.

She eventually woke because she was hungry.

Opening her eyes slowly, she checked the time on her phone.

3:00 PM.

Hearing movement inside the room, Shi Yubai quietly pushed open the bedroom door.

“Are you hungry?”

“I feel like I could eat an entire fish right now.”

Fresh from sleep, Xu Sui’an was still wonderfully lazy.

Her limbs felt soft and boneless as she slowly stretched out both arms toward him.

Shi Yubai smiled indulgently.

Without another word, he picked her up and carried her into the living room.

The fragrant aroma of freshly cooked wontons drifted toward her.

She wanted to eat…

But she didn’t want to move.

“Xiao Bai…”

“I haven’t washed my hands yet.”

Her pitiful little voice was so soft and obedient that it naturally made people want to spoil her.

“When you were asleep…”

“I already washed them for you.”

“So you can eat your wontons without worrying.”

His nimble fingers peeled a boiled egg and placed it neatly onto a small plate beside her.

“My boyfriend…”

“You’re the best.”

“Another day of making everyone jealous of me.”

Xu Sui’an raised her thumb in exaggerated praise.

A boyfriend should always be praised.

You never knew what wonderful surprises it might bring.

After all…

Everyone enjoyed being complimented.

Look—

Shi Yubai’s dimples immediately appeared, unable to conceal his happiness.

“Suisui.”

“Take your time eating.”

“I only have a little homework left.”

“Okay.”

Xu Sui’an nodded obediently and watched him leave.


Ding-dong—

Her phone chimed just after she’d finished eating and cleaned up.

After wiping her hands, she curled up comfortably on the sofa and picked up her phone.

The screen lit up.

Their group chat—

Three Roses

already had 99+ unread messages.

“I only took one nap.”

“How did there end up being this many messages?”

She tapped into the chat.

Messages flew across the screen.


🌹 Three Roses 🌹

Snowflakes Little by Little:
@May Suisui Be Safe Forever
Where are you?

Snowflakes Little by Little:
Has your date with the Duke of Zhou still not ended?

Girl Who Loves Dreaming:
Xue’er, Suisui hasn’t woken up yet. Stop spamming her phone.

Snowflakes Little by Little:
Who am I doing this for?

Mengmeng, doesn’t your conscience hurt?

Or did your dream guy eat your conscience too?

Girl Who Loves Dreaming:
Xue’er, don’t talk nonsense.

Nothing happened between us.

Snowflakes Little by Little:
You think I’d believe that?

If nothing happened…

Why is your face as red as a traffic light?

Confess honestly!

Confession earns leniency!

Resistance brings harsher punishment!

Xu Sui’an quickly skimmed through the messages before typing at lightning speed.

May Suisui Be Safe Forever:
Mengmeng…

Did sparks of love fly while Brother Nanzhou was driving you back to your dorm?

Girl Who Loves Dreaming:
Nothing happened…

Don’t spread rumors.

May Suisui Be Safe Forever:
Really?

Did you happen to sit in your dream guy’s passenger seat?

Girl Who Loves Dreaming:
How did you know?

Snowflakes Little by Little:
Holy crap!

Mengmeng, you’ve made progress!

You’ve already sat in your dream guy’s passenger seat.

Winning his heart can’t be far away now!

May Suisui Be Safe Forever:
Based on my professional judgment…

Brother Nanzhou definitely likes you.

Yesterday’s truth-or-dare game was basically a roundabout confession.

Today he not only drove you back to your dorm…

He even let you sit in the passenger seat.

If that’s not interest, then what is?

Girl Who Loves Dreaming:
Senior He only drove me back because of your Xiao Bai.

Suisui…

You have to thank him properly for me.

I’ll treat you all to a big meal later.

Snowflakes Little by Little:
Mengmeng!

Don’t forget me!

I want a big meal too!

Girl Who Loves Dreaming:
When have I ever left you out?

Besides…

I still need you to teach me how to do makeup.

Snowflakes Little by Little:
Ahhh—!

Mengmeng, have you finally descended into the mortal world?


Xu Sui’an had just put her phone down when it started ringing.

The caller ID flashed:

He Nanzhou

Her eyes instantly sparkled with curiosity.

This call…

It definitely has something to do with Mengmeng!

“Brother Nanzhou.”

He Nanzhou’s voice came through the receiver.

“Sui’an…”

“Could you do me a favor?”

“What kind of favor?”

Xu Sui’an quietly motioned for Shi Yubai to keep silent.

Shi Yubai immediately softened his footsteps and silently took out his phone.

He casually pressed the Record button.

Brother Nanzhou…

I’m helping you here.

No need to thank me.

He Nanzhou hesitated before speaking again.

“Well…”

“The blue long-eared rabbit charm hanging from Shen Meng’s bag…”

“She accidentally left it in my car.”

“I don’t have any way to contact her.”

“Could you send me her WeChat?”

Xu Sui’an’s eyes lit up instantly.

She tried her hardest to suppress the smile threatening to spread across her face.

“No problem.”

“I’ll send it to you right away.”

The moment the call ended…

She threw herself excitedly at Shi Yubai, knocking both of them onto the sofa.

“Xiao Bai!”

“Did you hear that?”

“Brother Nanzhou took the initiative to ask for Mengmeng’s WeChat!”

“I heard.”

Shi Yubai wrapped an arm securely around her waist to keep her from tumbling off the couch.

“Hahaha…”

“Mengmeng is finally going to see the clouds part and the moon appear!”

(At long last, her patience is about to be rewarded.)

Xu Sui’an planted a loud kiss on Shi Yubai’s cheek.

Then she quickly sat upright and grabbed her phone.

“I’m sending Brother Nanzhou everything.”

“Her WeChat…”

“QQ…”

“And her phone number.”

After packaging all three contact details together and hitting Send, she immediately switched back to the Three Roses group chat without missing a beat.
