Zhang Lingyu answered the phone.

"Hello? Is this Nansheng? Why are you calling back at this hour?"

Upon hearing Qiao Nansheng's name, Song Lingge's heart skipped a beat.

I couldn't help but prick up my ears, wanting to eavesdrop on what the grandfather and grandson were going to say, and whether they would mention her.

However, Zhang Lingyu did not look towards the restaurant, presumably because she was not mentioned.

“Nansheng usually calls at night, so he must know you’re coming, which is why he’s calling at this hour. He told us last week that he would have Jingchu bring a classmate over.”

Qiao Yuejiang explained to Song Lingge and Jing Chu, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to say a few words to Nan Sheng?"

"No, no need," Song Lingge hurriedly declined.

She talks to Qiao Nansheng on the phone every week, but now that she wants to talk to him at his grandparents' house, Song Lingge doesn't have the courage.

In particular, this was my first time visiting his home.

Jing Chu had been observing Song Lingge with a mocking look in his eyes, and he almost burst out laughing when he saw her panicked like this.

“Grandpa Qiao, I don’t need to. Nan Sheng will call me directly if anything happens. Ling Ge, you don’t contact Nan Sheng much, why don’t you go and say a few words? We’re all friends, we can’t become estranged just because Nan Sheng went abroad.”

Jing Chu was deliberately teasing her.

But now that Qiao Yuejiang is facing them, Song Lingge can't vent her anger even if she wants to.

He could only laugh awkwardly and say, "No need, we have nothing to say."

Jing Chu was about to speak when Song Lingge glared at him fiercely, cutting him off.

Just then, Zhang Lingyu suddenly called out towards the restaurant: "Lingge, come here for a moment, Nansheng has something to say to you."

This slap in the face came at just the right time.

Song Lingge ignored Qiao Yuejiang's expression and quickly left the restaurant.

Jing Chu laughed so hard his back teeth were almost visible. He was determined to teach him a lesson after leaving the Qiao family.

This man has no sense of propriety.

Of course, Qiao Nansheng was also a man who lacked discretion.

Why can't we talk at home instead of looking for her at the Qiao family's house?

Song Lingge muttered to herself, but she acted swiftly.

Zhang Lingyu smiled and handed the phone to her.

Song Lingge took the phone and waited for Zhang Lingyu to walk to the restaurant before answering it.

"Hey?"

Qiao Nansheng's cheerful voice immediately came through: "Have you been chatting with Grandpa?"

"Have."

Song Lingge then realized that today's meeting was arranged by Qiao Nansheng.

She still had some questions to ask, such as why she wasn't told in advance, and why her novels were shown to others without her permission.

But this is the Qiao family, so we have to keep everything to ourselves.

However, Qiao Nansheng seemed to have X-ray vision, able to see through her doubts at a glance.

Are you trying to question why I didn't inform you beforehand?

Song Lingge did not answer, which meant she acquiesced.

Then Qiao Nansheng's voice came through the receiver again.

“If I had told you in advance, you would have made all sorts of plans and then made excuses to me. But this is my fault; I shouldn’t have acted first and informed you later. I think Grandpa and Grandma are both very kind people, and Grandpa can even give you some pointers on writing, so I wanted you to meet. If we wait until I come back to meet, it will be too long.”

After Song Lingge met Qiao Yuejiang and Zhang Lingyu, she understood Qiao Nansheng's true feelings.

They were indeed very kind people and treated Song Lingge very well.

The problem is, the unreliable person is Jingchu.

Song Lingge really wanted to say, "Next time something like this happens, could you please find a more reliable person?"

In short, it absolutely cannot be Jingchu.

"Yes, I understand. Your grandfather gave me a lot of advice, which I benefited from greatly."

This statement comes from the bottom of my heart.

Qiao Nansheng laughed heartily on the other side of the world.

"That's good. Don't be so reserved. Grandpa has read your articles and often discusses them with me. He admires you very much."

Although Song Lingge had a lot to say, she really didn't know how to communicate with Qiao Nansheng in the Qiao family.

So he just mumbled a "hmm".

"Grandma just said you're having dinner. Go eat, and we'll talk on the phone again when you get home later."

"Okay." Just as Song Lingge was about to hang up, an urgent voice came from the other end, telling her to stop.

"Wait a moment."

"Ok?"

Qiao Nansheng sighed helplessly: "Song Lingge is so aloof today!"

Upon hearing this, Song Lingge almost lost her temper.

This man is truly, truly lacking in self-control.

Is she aloof? Or is it just that this time and place isn't suitable for them to talk on the phone?

Instead of the answer I was hoping for, I heard a complaint on the other end of the line: "You never say you miss me."

......

"Qiao Nansheng, I wish you a pleasant life over there, and that you will complete your studies soon and return home in glory."

Song Lingge generously concluded the call and then hung up.

She calmed herself down and walked towards the restaurant.

Jing Chu had a look of amusement on his face. He almost burst out laughing when he heard what Song Lingge said.

Watching other people secretly date is really a lot of fun.

Zhang Lingyu invited her to sit down and eat, occasionally putting food on her plate, and of course, she would also put food on Jing Chu's plate.

Wang Wenzhen's craftsmanship remains as good as ever.

As she ate the familiar food, Song Lingge thought back to a long time ago.

When Qiao Nansheng ate with her, he would serve her food just like Zhang Lingyu did.

At that time, she never imagined that she would fall in love with the man who was serving her food.

And now, he is still at home having dinner with his family.

Song Lingge did not tell Qiao Nansheng about the pressure and bottlenecks she encountered in her writing.

Because she felt that this was the path she had chosen, and she should bear the associated pressures herself.

Qiao Nansheng also has his academic pressures, so Song Lingge won't interfere.

But this man, with his keen observation, guessed it.

And he also provided her with the best help he could within his capabilities.

Thinking of this, Song Lingge felt a warmth in her heart.

Her failed marriage in her previous life, though not enough to make her so afraid of anything after being bitten once, was enough to make her fear even the most stubborn person.

But this also unconsciously made her not have many expectations of men.

Perhaps because of this, everything Qiao Nansheng did exceeded her expectations.

The two complement each other perfectly.

This is a positive and healthy romantic relationship.

It can be encountered but not sought after.

After having lunch at the Qiao family's house, Song Lingge and Jing Chu left after only a short while.

Song Lingge remembered that Qiao Nansheng had mentioned that the two elders of the Qiao family had a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon.

After leaving the Qiao family, Song Lingge ignored Jing Chu the entire way.

Jing Chu had no choice but to keep begging for mercy. This young lady was Qiao Nansheng's darling, and he dared not provoke her.

After all, before Qiao Nansheng left, she specifically asked him to take good care of her.

If she were to go to Qiao Nansheng to complain and say things that don't make sense, then life in Jingchu would be very difficult.

To outsiders, the two of them looked like a young couple who had just had a fight.

Little did they know, they would be seen by someone with ulterior motives.
