The distance between you and me
Tang Jiji was stunned at the alley entrance when Shen Nan's phone call woke her up. "......Where are you? I'll pick you up and take you back."
Shen Nan's voice came through the phone, asking in a stern tone. Tang Jiji was feeling depressed and replied without thinking: "I'm in Germany, stop bothering me with your nonsense." Then he hung up the phone.
She had just taken a few steps when she saw a Maybach approaching from the front, stopping slowly beside her, and almost hitting her. Tang Ji knew it was Shen Nan's car, so she immediately put on a calm demeanor. She couldn't let anyone see her like this, especially not Shen Nan; she absolutely couldn't let him see her in such a sorry state.
"Hmph." Tang Jiji took a step forward, intentionally and unknowingly kicking his car several times in frustration, until Shen Nanxiao rolled down the window. She also pretended to be surprised, blinking her eyes and hypocritically saying: "Oh... Shen Nanxiao, I didn't know it was your car."
"... Ignorance is bliss." Then his gaze fell on her canvas shoes, and he smiled slightly: "You look great in canvas shoes."
Tang Jiji smiled and immediately got into the car with a bad temper.
Shen Nanxiao! Bastard! Is he intentionally mocking her for not being able to afford high heels now?! Bastard!! Tang Jiji sat in the back, constantly grumbling about him, of course she didn't know that Shen Nanxiao's words were sincere.
"Tang Jiji, you just hung up the phone very quickly." The car was silent for half a moment before Shen Nanxiao finally spoke up, saying casually.
"Shen Nan, you're pretty quick to find me too." She replied bluntly.
Then, there was a long silence again, and the road back to Shen's house was still far away, but the two people in the car didn't say a word.
Shen Nanxiao's face, which usually didn't show his emotions, was slightly displeased. He suddenly slammed on the brakes, and Tang Jiji's body involuntarily leaned forward, bumping into the front seat. She rubbed her innocent nose and glared at him: "Shen Nanxiao, have you gone crazy?"
Shen Nan pulled her down from the car without saying a word, and before Tang Jiji could react, he also dragged her down. The force with which Shen Nan had pulled her down left Tang Jiji's arm sore, and as she looked around, she realized that they were standing on a big bridge, but there were few people around, and across the river were buildings by the river, twinkling with sparse lights.
Shen Nanxian stood silently, his hand on the railing of the big bridge, staring at something. The wind was strong on the riverbank bridge, blowing Tang Jiji's skirt up, she was cold and hugged her shoulders to warm herself up, her physique had always been afraid of the cold, at this moment she had to speak in a low voice to Shen Nanxian: "Shen Nanxian, it's windy here, why don't we go back first?"
Shen Nan ignored her, pretending he hadn't heard.
Tang Jiji said: "Haven't you had dinner yet? Auntie is waiting for you at home to have dinner... Go back first."
Still wooden man's reaction.
Tang Jiji walked up to him and said: "Shen Nanxiao, aren't you cold? It seems very cold here, let's go back first."
Shen Nanxiao still didn't react in the slightest, and Tang Jiji finally couldn't bear it anymore, turning back to walk to his car, continuously kicking the air: "Shen Nanxiao! Who are you?! I'm speaking to you with a humble attitude, but you don't even acknowledge me! Are you mute or something?!"
From then on, Tang Jiji got into the habit of kicking his car whenever he felt unhappy or depressed.
But Tang Jiji had been brutally kicking his car for a long time, and Shen Nanxiao was still unmoved. "Shen Nanxiao!" Tang Jiji kicked the last kick, walked quickly to his side, and said breathlessly: "...what's wrong with you?"
The wooden man finally reacted. He turned sideways and raised a strange smile, staring at her as if he wanted to see through all the anxiety and sadness deep in her heart.
"You also owe me an answer then. Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
