A Slight Smile is Very Charming Part 22 - It’s him

Part 22: It’s him

The exam has already ended and the number of people by the school gates gradually increases. Pretty much everyone who walks past these two remarkably good-looking man and woman will subconsciously slow down and take a few looks. However, Wei Wei doesn’t notice any of these glances, because the second Xiao Nai spoke, she had already crossed into outer space.

I was waiting for you…

I was waiting for you…

I was waiting for you…

……

This voice…

This voice…

This voice…

Wei Wei looks at the person in front her, confused. In his eyes is the reflection of the sunset making it all seem a bit surreal and gentle. His tranquil posture and patience…

Wei Wei moves her lips, but no sound cos out. She takes a deep breath, controls the chaos inside of her, and in complete disbelief, she says, “…NaiHe?”

The person in front of her gazes at her and indisputably answers, “It’s .”

In that split second, Wei Wei’s mind only has one thought — So fortunate. So fortunate she didn’t buy that stiletto sandal. Otherwise, she will have, definitely, already broken its heel in her shock.

NaiHe, Xiao Nai, NaiHe, Xiao Nai, NaiHe, Xiao Nai…these two nas continuously circle around in her mind, but she is just unable to match them together. How can NaiHe be Xiao Nai? How can it be, how can it be…Even though she feels that NaiHe is very Great Master-like, she never thought that he would be that great…

Moreover, how did he recognize her?

Too much astonishnt, too many questions. But Wei Wei isn’t able to ask a single one of those questions. She even starts to think that the person in front of her isn’t real. The small slip of paper in her hand is about to break into pieces from her pinching it. Right now, the thing that she wants to do the most is rush to a telephone booth and dial that cell phone number; see if Xiao Nai’s cell phone will start ringing…

At this ti, she also, finally, becos aware of the increasingly obvious glances surrounding them.

Yet Xiao Nai turns a blind eye to those spectators watching. He lifts his wrist and looks at the ti, “You turned in your exam early?”

Wei Wei slowly nodded.

Xiao Nai says, “I nearly made you wait again.”

Eh?

Wei Wei doesn’t really understand, so she looks at his smiling face. Only after a while does she understand that he ans when he missed the finals. Wei Wei feels a bit embarrassed, shakes her head and says, “You didn’t…”

But she doesn’t even know what she is saying “you didn’t” about…

The smile deepens in Xiao Nai’s eyes and he says, “Let’s go eat first.”

He starts to walk into the school. Wei Wei hesitates a bit before following. Anyway, it is better than standing here for people to look at. But after walking a few steps, Wei Wei can’t help but turn and look at the East entrance.

In a mont…will another NaiHe appear there?

Even though things are already very clear, that Xiao Nai is NaiHe, but, but, it just feels very unreal…

Turning to look back like this, her steps slows down. By the ti she turns back, Xiao Nai has already stopped walking and is waiting in front for her. Embarrassed, Wei Wei quickly walks forward. Xiao Nai waits for her to get closer and says very seriously,

“Wei Wei, do you eat fish?”

Alright, Wei Wei is startled by the natural way Xiao Nai says “Wei Wei.”

With such a question, Wei Wei basically believes that Xiao Nai will be taking her to so fish restaurant in the school. However, what actually happens is: Xiao Nai takes her through a bunch of turns and paths to arrive at an old-fashioned small restaurant in the nearby residential area for professors.

Then, after sitting down for just a bit, an auntie (not related) with a smiling face places a huge basin of fish soup onto their table. Xiao Nai made a few hand signs and the auntie walks away beaming.

Wei Wei stares blankly at the gigantic basin of fish soup in front of her.

Xiao Nai calmly picks up the ladle to serve the soup, “Auntie Jiang can’t speak, but her dishes are very delicious. My parents don’t cook often, so since I was young, I’ve always eaten either at the school cafeteria or here.”

Eeee, Great Master’s childhood? Wei Wei’s heart that has already beco numb from shaking starts to recover a bit for this gossip. Catching a glimpse of her shining eyes, Xiao Nai laughs on the inside and asks, “What else do you want to eat?”

Wei Wei shakes her head — it’s already going to be hard to finish off such a big basin of soup. Her nose picks up a whiff of dicine. Wei Wei asks, “Is there Chinese dicine in the soup?”

“Uh-huh,” Xiao Nai expressionlessly says, “When I was in the car accident last ti, my father ordered half a month of fish stewed with chuanxion rhizo (type of Chinese herb) here to supplent my brain.”

“……”

Why does she suddenly feel like laughing? Especially after seeing the Great Master’s expression…

Wei Wei feels that she really isn’t being too sincere >oo
