Chapter 1453: Capítulo 1453: Chapter 1454: Why Are You Here?

Bo Yanching teased her: “Aren’t you going to help persuade them?”

“Persuade for what? Grandpa and the others are just finding a reason to argue. By the time they’re done, they’ll have forgotten what started it,” she glanced back, “I wager it won’t quiet down for at least another hour, I’m going back to sleep first.”

Nana Jiaojiao stood up, and only then did Bo Yanching notice she was sitting on a small stool. Perhaps before he video called, she was pathetically watching the three elderly people argue.

Nan Jiaojiao headed to her little house; she didn’t want to squeeze in with the three elders. Her room wasn’t occupied, but it was noisy. Ever since she returned these past two days, she’s been staying at her place.

Lights were turned on as she walked back.

Bo Yanching talked to her, and Nan Jiaojiao listened to a few sentences before her mind inexplicably started to wander, suddenly blurting, “Bo Yanching, I miss you.”

He was speechless, “Aren’t you coming back tomorrow?”

“But I have to wait until evening!”

Nan Jiaojiao found a chair and sat down, resting her head against the pillar of the corridor, pouting, “It’s your fault for calling me all the time, I can’t see you and I miss you terribly.”

Bo Yanching took a deep breath, “You’re saying sweet nothings to me now without any effort, just flirting casually?”

Nan Jiaojiao glared at him and snorted: “Then I’ll hang up.”

“Don’t…”

Bo Yanching immediately admitted: “I was wrong, don’t hang up, I’ll keep you company on the way back.”

“I don’t want to walk anymore, it’s too far, my feet are sore, you don’t believe me, see for yourself.”

Nan Jiaojiao flipped the camera to show her feet.

It’s not far at all.

When he previously stayed at the Nan Residence, he walked this route back and forth many times, estimating the time, even at a slow pace it took only six to seven minutes. Elder Nan couldn’t bear to let Nan Jiaojiao live far away.

He didn’t expose her, coaxing, “Then rest for a while, next time I’ll come back with you and carry you back.”

Nan Jiaojiao leaned her head against the pillar and chuckled gloomily, “Are sweet nothings to me effortless for you now?”

“Heh…”

Bo Yanching stayed with her for a bit, urging her to go back and rest.

Nan Jiaojiao was reluctant to hang up the video call, so she placed her phone by the pillow, and when she woke up from a nap, daylight was already bright; today there was nothing important, and Uncle Qiu hadn’t come to call her. She grabbed her phone to take a look; the video had already disconnected, showing it had been on for more than three hours.

She charged her phone, went to freshen up, and when she rechecked, Bo Yanching hadn’t sought her.

Quite unexpected.

Usually, he stays until she wakes up, sometimes leaving early but still timing a call to coax her to breakfast. Today there was no motion, and she was momentarily befuddled, feeling a bit unaccustomed.

Nan Jiaojiao went to have breakfast, mentioning to Grandpa that she planned to return to Rongcheng after lunch; nearing the dining room, she heard a lively commotion.

It seemed like Bo Yanching’s voice.

Her steps quickened inward.

When she saw him at the table, it felt somewhat unreal.

Grandpa Lu and another grandpa warmly surrounded Bo Yanching, serving him dishes and chatting happily, contrasting with Elder Nan’s gloomy face – it was like two opposite scenes.

“Why, why are you here?”

Several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to gaze at her.

Nan Jiaojiao leaned against the door frame, almost ready to turn and run.

Bo Yanching chuckled, “I came to pick you up.”

“Then why not call me first?”

She fiddled with her casually tied hair; it was so casual she had braided it, all strands gathered to one side, lying on her shoulder, resembling a little girl.

Bo Yanching’s eyes were full of her, thinking that after only two days apart, this little girl was having an image crisis in front of him. As he attempted to pull her towards him, the chair was pushed back.
