It's just a toy, why would you care if it breaks?
Chapter 21 Holding it in my arms
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that there was no need to discuss those "subjects" here.
He sat obediently, looking out the window with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Before long, the dishes started to arrive.
The pan-fried foie gras with black truffles was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the pan-fried silver cod was fresh and tender, and there was also a vegetable salad and a bowl of cream of mushroom soup.
Wei Xun picked up the knife and fork and demonstrated to Nan Yan: "Hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand, and cut like this."
Nan Yan tried to imitate him, but her movements were a bit clumsy, and she almost knocked the plate over.
Wei Xun reached out and steadyed the plate, patiently instructing him: "Slow down, no rush. Hold the meat with a fork and then slowly cut it with a knife."
Nan Yan was very clever. She mastered the technique after learning it only once and successfully cut the food and put it into her mouth.
"Is it good?" Wei Xun asked, looking at his satisfied expression.
Nan Yan nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling: "It's delicious, even better than yesterday's cake."
Seeing him so happy like a child warmed Wei Xun's heart.
This was the first time Nan Yan had ever eaten such good food, and she didn't have to be careful about what others thought or worry about being punished; she could enjoy the food without any worries.
The two ate their meal quietly, Nan Yan's face full of a happy smile.
Halfway through the meal, Wei Xun spoke up, "I don't have work today. Is there anything you'd like to do? I can do it with you this afternoon."
Nan Yan looked up, her eyes lighting up: "I...I want to take the subway."
"The subway?" Wei Xun was stunned for a moment and almost choked.
He has always been driven around by cars since he was a child, and has never taken the subway, a common mode of transportation.
"Mmm." Nan Yan nodded vigorously. "The lady at the convenience store told me yesterday that the subway is an underground train, very fast and convenient. I think..."
Seeing the expectation in his eyes, Wei Xun couldn't bear to refuse.
Although he himself didn't want to take the subway at all, what did this little thing matter if it made Nan Yan happy?
"Okay, I'll take you to ride the subway this afternoon," Wei Xun said.
Nan Yan's eyes curved into crescent moons, making her exceptionally beautiful.
"Is there anything else you'd like to eat? Or anything else you'd like to do?" Wei Xun asked again.
"I want a hamburger," Nan Yan said softly.
Wei Xun couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you, all you want to eat is this."
Nan Yan blushed, lowered her head, and whispered, "It's okay if I don't eat it..."
"It's okay, after we take the subway this afternoon, I'll take you to get a burger." Wei Xun patted his head gently.
Nan Yan looked up, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, sir."
The two quickly finished their lunch, and Wei Xun led Nan Yan out of the restaurant.
As soon as I stepped into the hotel lobby, my phone rang, and the screen displayed Dou Xiao's number.
Wei Xun frowned and answered the phone.
"Brother-in-law! You finally answered the phone!" Dou Xiao's voice was tinged with dissatisfaction. "Didn't you say you were coming to see me? I've been waiting for you for almost two hours, where are you?"
"I have very important things to do and can't come to see you." Wei Xun's tone was calm. "I'll have Qinglin buy you a plane ticket back to Nancheng. You should go back as soon as possible."
"What?!" Dou Xiao immediately protested, "Brother-in-law, you're so unfair! I finally made it all the way to Haishi, and this is how you treat me? No way, I'm not going back, I'm going with you! Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
"I told you, I have important business to attend to," Wei Xun said impatiently. "Stop fooling around and go home right now, or I'll tell your father."
"Brother-in-law!" Dou Xiao wanted to say something, but Wei Xun hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
Nan Yan looked at him uneasily: "Sir, do you have something very important to do? Then I...I..."
Wei Xun reached out and ruffled Nan Yan's hair, his tone gentle: "Silly girl, the important thing I'm talking about is taking the subway and eating hamburgers with you."
Nan Yan was stunned, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Really, sir?"
"Of course it's true. Let's go, let's figure out how to take the subway first."
He quickly found the nearest subway station, less than a kilometer from the hotel, which he could walk to.
"Let's go, we'll walk there."
"Yes, sir!" Nan Yan happily followed Wei Xun, her steps becoming lighter.
The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.
Nan Yan looked around curiously at everything.
Wei Xun walked beside him, watching him look around like a child, and felt a sense of relief.
He hadn't relaxed like this in a long time.
Normally, I'm either dealing with complicated work at the company or scheming against people at the negotiating table. I've never been like this before, simply accompanying someone and walking on the street.
The two walked slowly along the roadside, and Nan Yan would occasionally ask Wei Xun, "Sir, what's that shop?"
"A trendy clothing store, it sells clothes," Wei Xun answered patiently.
"Trendy...clothing store..." Nan Yan silently memorized these words in her mind.
"What about this one?"
"That's Starbucks, the coffee shop."
Nan Yan kept all of this in mind.
He was like a blank sheet of paper.
Wei Xun was willing to fill in these blanks little by little.
When I reached an intersection, the red light was on.
"Don't get too close, watch out for cars." Wei Xun reached out and pulled him to stand next to him.
Nan Yan's body stiffened slightly as she felt the warmth of Wei Xun's palm, and a wave of warmth washed over her.
He stood obediently beside Wei Xun, his eyes fixed on the traffic light, and whispered, "Thank you, sir."
The green light came on, and Wei Xun took his hand and they crossed the road together.
Nan Yan's hands were small and soft, and he held them tightly in his hands.
Nan Yan blushed, but she obediently followed him until they reached the subway station entrance.
The subway station was crowded with people coming and going, making it extremely noisy.
Nan Yan subconsciously moved closer to Wei Xun, clutching his clothes tightly.
"Don't be afraid, follow me." Wei Xun patted his shoulder and comforted him.
He looked at the surrounding signs and found the location of the ticket machine.
The two walked to the ticket machine. Wei Xun looked at the instructions and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know, I can go anywhere as long as I can take the subway."
Wei Xun smiled, chose a final stop, and bought two tickets.
The ticket was a small card, which Nan Yan held in her hand curiously, turning it over and over to look at it.
"Let's go, let's go wait for the train." Wei Xun led him towards the waiting area.
The waiting area was crowded, with everyone queuing up.
Nan Yan stood at the back of the line with Wei Xun, her eyes fixed on the direction of the track, filled with anticipation.
Not long after, a slight tremor was heard in the distance, and the subway train slowly pulled into the platform, illuminating the entire platform.
"They're here!" Nan Yan said excitedly in a low voice.
After the subway came to a complete stop, the doors opened, and people began to disembark.
Wei Xun pulled Nan Yan along and followed the crowd into the subway.
The subway was already full, so the two of them had to stand and hold onto the handrails.
The subway started moving, fast yet smoothly.
Nan Yan looked at the darkness rushing past the window, and the occasional light that appeared, her eyes filled with wonder.
He had never had such an experience before, like flying underground.
"Isn't it amazing?" Wei Xun asked, looking at his excited expression.
Nan Yan nodded vigorously: "Yeah! That's fast! Much faster than a car!"
The subway was crowded, and someone accidentally bumped into Nan Yan.
Nan Yan staggered, and Wei Xun immediately supported him and pulled him into his arms.
The man quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Be careful," Wei Xun said calmly, then looked down at Nan Yan: "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, sir." Nan Yan's cheeks were slightly flushed.
He was held protectively in Wei Xun's arms, surrounded by his scent, which made his heart race.
