Chapter 1761: Even Simps Save Face Like This

He was constantly scratching his head, his gaze darting around, finally landing on her, pressing his lips tightly before squeezing out a sentence:

“You remember me, right?”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Han Qi.”

Being called by name accurately, Han Qi suddenly felt a joy akin to celebrating the New Year, “Yes, yes, that’s the name. I’m sorry, although you and I don’t have any prospects anymore, I’m still in Rongcheng, it’s just that Minglun isn’t coming anymore, tonight I’m here to welcome this kid, it’s my fault for praising the food here like it’s a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, he was craving it desperately, that’s why we’re here. Don’t take it to heart.”

The more Han Qi spoke, the more he seemed to be talking incoherently, feeling guilty. He dared not mention occasionally he couldn’t help but inquire about her situation, behaving both shamelessly and lacking. But he restrained himself from appearing in front of her again.

Little did he know it was such a coincidence; he had arranged the meeting for eight-thirty, thinking even if they ran into each other, they could manage to miss each other.

After all, who would be having dinner at this hour?

Han Qi exhaled and couldn’t wait for her to speak, so he hurriedly asked again, “Is there anything you want to say to me? Anything will do.”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Hello.”

…This heartless woman.

“I…” Han Qi wiped his face, “That’s nice.”

He had never felt so awkward in his life, “How about you?”

“I’m doing great too.”

Han Qi’s mouth twitched, stubbornly trying to talk to her, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t help blurting out shamelessly, “Is someone accompanying you? Or are you here to meet someone?”

Nan Jiaojiao: “A friend.”

Han Qi choked back the words in his throat, “Ah… there’s a friend, that’s nice.”

She was indeed quite nice, at least she responded to every sentence.

Three sentences, right?

She wasn’t impatient at all.

She must have him in her heart!

Han Qi asked, “On this floor? Shall I walk you over?”

Nan Jiaojiao said: “No, not far.”

Han Qi shifted his body slightly, instinctively giving way, “Okay, I’ll watch you go.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t respond, nor did she intend to accept his offer, but after all, they were old acquaintances, having met face-to-face, showing a good face is the basic courtesy.

So, she softly said thank you.

Her gaze didn’t linger much.

She didn’t notice Han Qi’s expression, as if struck by lightning.

“Han Qi,” Nan Jiaojiao turned around, “Long time no see.”

“Good…” Han Qi’s mouth wasn’t even working properly; if it weren’t for saving face, he would definitely slap himself on the face. After struggling for a while, his expression was barely livelier than a zombie, smiling and saying, “Long time no see.”

Nan Jiaojiao slightly curled her lips.

Han Qi kept watching her until she entered a certain private room.

Han Qi immediately went to the manager to ask who was in that room.

“No way, Young Master Han, customer information is confidential, I can’t disclose it to you.”

Han Qi was very familiar with this routine, so he couldn’t be bothered to argue: “I’ll add money.”

The manager’s teeth were almost ground to bits in frustration, “Even if you add money, I still can’t tell you.”

Oh dear!

Han Qi always acted high-profile, there were only a handful in Rongcheng that couldn’t be offended.

Forget it, he couldn’t afford to provoke them either.

Xiao Yu could hardly believe it, Han Qi just gave up like that, he had been watching the whole time from the side, not saying a word, witnessing someone’s embarrassing fanboy appearance firsthand.

“Are you being a simp?”

Han Qi slapped the back of his head, “What the hell, simp, this is called secret admiration! Secret admiration, understand?”

Xiao Yu reflexively dodged, “Oh, simps justify themselves like this.”

“Is this shamelessness a must for you!”

Xiao Yu: “She doesn’t have you in her heart.”
