"Nannan, cutie! Say something! How's the uncle really like!?"
"Could it be something bad happened? Could that charming guy online really be a creepy dude!"
"Oh no! Don't ruin my fantasy about the uncle!"
"Why isn't Nannan speaking!??"
"Could something really be wrong?"
At this moment, the group chat was in chaos, countless people waiting to hear about Zhang Nannan and Zhou Yuwen's first meeting. Zhang Nannan glanced at Zhou Yuwen in front of her, lowered her head, and secretly sent a message on her phone.
"I've met up with the uncle."
"After sending those two messages, 'The uncle is very handsome (smile),' Zhang Nannan muted the group chat. Meanwhile, the group became even more chaotic.
"'Very handsome? How handsome is he really!?"
"'Ah! Please say something!'
"'No way, Nannan cutie, aren't you in high school? Are you already planning to get intimate!? Ah, speak up!'
Despite the group's clamor, Zhang Nannan remained silent and obediently followed behind Zhou Yuwen. They boarded the subway together. Zhou Yuwen, tall and sturdy, dressed in Nike sportswear and sneakers, appeared even taller on the subway."
Zhang Nannan, on the other hand, wore shorts, her legs long and evenly proportioned, in white sneakers paired with purple cartoon-themed ankle socks. She obediently followed behind Zhou Yuwen.
They had never chatted before and weren't familiar, so now that they were meeting, both remained silent. The first two stops were fine, not too crowded. Zhou Yuwen and Zhang Nannan stood as the subway traveled two stations. Suddenly, the train became crowded as more people boarded.
This arrangement created a standing space for Zhang Nannan. As the subway started moving, Zhou Yuwen leaned against the wall, effectively creating a protective space where Zhang Nannan stood securely.
Zhang Nannan felt somewhat useless, worried that she might cause trouble for the older man, the author. Yet, she also felt a sense of security with Zhou Yuwen. She secretly lifted her head and happened to see Zhou Yuwen's Adam's apple, moving subtly.
She wondered, is that what a man's Adam's apple looks like? How intriguing! She felt an urge to touch it.
At this thought, Zhang Nannan's face instantly turned red. How could she have such thoughts! It must be from reading too many of his novels!
However, is he really the author uncle? He looks so young, yet his writing in the books is so mature. Before seeing Zhou Yuwen, Zhang Nannan thought he was at least thirty years old because of the experienced style of writing that children couldn't possibly produce.
How could he be so young!
Zhang Nannan secretly observed Zhou Yuwen, thinking and thinking, but couldn't understand. At that moment, Zhou Yuwen suddenly glanced down at her, startling her. They locked eyes briefly, and Zhang Nannan immediately turned her head away, too afraid to look at Zhou Yuwen again.
Zhou Yuwen found it amusing in his heart. This girl is indeed quite cute.
"You came here alone?" Zhou Yuwen asked casually.
"Ah? Um," Zhang Nannan nodded heavily.
The subway was cramped, and Zhou Yuwen could smell the fragrance of Zhang Nannan's shampoo, quite pleasant.
"Didn't your parents accompany you?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
"Um…" Zhang Nannan hesitated for a moment, then said, "My parents are too busy, and I thought I could manage by myself."
"Do you think you can manage now?" Zhou Yuwen teased.
"I…" Zhang Nannan blushed shyly at his remark.
Zhou Yuwen continued, "So, you just walked away with me like this?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yuwen continued, "Aren't you afraid that I might be a scammer? In big cities, there are many swindlers who specifically target young girls like you, selling them to middle-aged men in rural areas as wives."
Zhang Nannan's face turned pale, and instinctively took a couple of steps back.
Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Do you really believe that? Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Pouting, Zhang Nannan looked up at Zhou Yuwen with wide eyes. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Are you really the author of 'Green Wood Years'?"
Zhou Yuwen replied, "What do you think?"
Zhang Nannan shook her head and smiled sweetly, saying, "Not at all, you look just as young as me."
"Then I'm not, I'm a human trafficker," Zhou Yuwen said.
Zhang Nannan was a bit angry, her face flushed, pouting as she said, "If you say that again, I'll ignore you."
"Oh, then I'll leave!" Zhou Yuwen said.
"Hey! Don't go!" Zhang Nannan found herself alone in the big city, and it was hard to find a boy who could give her a sense of security. How could she let Zhou Yuwen go? Just as Zhou Yuwen said he was leaving, Zhang Nannan's face turned pale, and she reached out to grab Zhou Yuwen's hand.
But Zhou Yuwen said, "What are you doing? Don't you know men and women shouldn't be too intimate?"
"Hmph! Your novels are so colorful! And you're talking about not being too intimate?" Zhang Nannan pursed her lips. Zhou Yuwen said, "Then tell me, how am I too colorful in my novels? Can you say it?"
"You!" Zhou Yuwen's few words made Zhang Nannan so shy that she couldn't speak, allowing Zhou Yuwen to tease her as he pleased. And Zhou Yuwen thought this girl was really fun.
This is what a girl looks like at first, much better than that Su Qianqian.
