The three of them walked to the door, and Shi Nian politely refused, "Mr. Zheng, just go home and don't go downstairs."

Before parting, Zheng Hai said, "Miss Shi, give my number to your sister. If she needs anything, she can call me or come here to find me directly. If she has nothing to do, I'll be here most of the time."

"no problem."

On the way back, Shi Nian was so lost in thought about buying a new phone for Shi Wei that he didn't even notice the oncoming cars.

Feng Sihan pulled her towards him, and she came back to her senses and thanked him with a smile.

Feng Sihan felt a bit strange in her heart. When she was with others, she was always talkative. But why was she silent most of the time when she was with him?

She seemed to seldom share her own affairs with him, such as joining an animal protection organization. If he hadn't happened to see it, would she have never planned to tell him about it?

Feng Sihan was a little disappointed. They were husband and wife, but she didn't seem to trust him 100%, let alone share everything with him.

After returning home, Shi Nian couldn't wait to run to the bedroom to look for the deposit slip.

She hasn't received her salary yet, so she has saved all the money she had saved before.

If she remembered correctly, there was a note for 5,000 yuan that would expire in the next two days.

Feng Sihan stood in the living room, looking at Shi Nian with his back to her. He stopped for a while, pursed his lips and went back to the bedroom.

Shi Nian found the deposit certificate, checked the time, and discovered that it had expired. A smile immediately broke out on her face.

The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated. Shi Nian glanced at it and saw a WeChat message from Zheng Hai, along with a transfer notification.

[Miss Shi, I am helping you out of a sense of justice. I just happened to meet you. If it were someone else, I would help them too. I don't want your thank you fee. I will only keep the rent for the past two months. I will transfer the rest to you. Please check.]

Shi Nian looked at the 3,000 yuan transferred by Zheng Hai and was confused.

What is thank you fee?

She was stunned for a moment. The rent was paid to him by Feng Sihan.

Feng Sihan also gave Zheng Hai a thank-you fee?

The phone vibrated a few more times, and Zheng Hai urged her to collect the money.

Shi Nian thanked Zheng Hai, received the money, and went to the next room to find Feng Sihan.

She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded from inside the bedroom.

"Sihan?"

Shi Nian was puzzled. They had just returned, and Feng Sihan had gone to bed so early?

She hesitated at the door, and Feng Sihan's low voice came from inside, "Nian Nian?"

"It's me."

Shi Nian complained in her heart. Besides him, she was the only one at home. If not her, who else could call him?

Feng Sihan asked through the door, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Shi Nian asked, "Si Han, can you open the door? I have something to ask you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened.

Feng Sihan was wrapped in a bathrobe, with water still dripping from his hair, as if he had just come out of the bathroom.

He raised his hand to wipe the water droplets from his hair, his chest muscles faintly visible through the collar of his bathrobe.

Shi Nian's eyes widened and her cheeks became hot.

She swallowed, her eyes suddenly met Feng Sihan's, and began to wander left and right.

Shi Nian blushed and grabbed the door handle. "Why don't you just close the door?"

The door was halfway closed when it was blocked by a force and could not move at all.

Feng Sihan held the door with one hand and wiped his hair with the other.

"What do you want to ask me?"

Shi Nian and Feng Sihan were fighting face to face, and suddenly felt a little nervous for no reason.

Her heart was beating fast, but she didn't want him to notice anything.

Shi Nian pretended to be calm, "Si Han, did you give Zheng Hai 3,000 yuan as a thank you fee?"

Feng Sihan frowned slightly, "Did he tell you?"

"This happened because of me, so of course he had to tell me. Besides, Mr. Zheng returned the money to me."

Shi Nian was a little helpless. "Si Han, I know you are doing this for me, but you really don't have to do this. There are many ways to express gratitude, and you don't have to use money to do it. I will transfer the money to you, and you should never give money to others privately again."

"Are you unhappy?"

"No."

Shi Nian handed the money over, met his dark eyes, and expressed her thoughts, "I think that talking about money hurts feelings. Mr. Zheng is helping out with good intentions, and he might not be happy if you gave him money. Instead, he might feel misunderstood and insulted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned the money to me privately."

Feng Sihan pursed his lips and said nothing. Shi Nian half-jokingly said, "Mr. Zheng is very wealthy, so he doesn't need our thank-you fee. If we want to thank him, we can use other ways, such as buying him a gift or something. This way, he will be more likely to accept it and will not refuse."

"knew."

Feng Sihan's tone was a little cold, and Shi Nian hurriedly said, "Sihan, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you. I know you have good intentions and want to help me repay the favor."

"I didn't misunderstand."

Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."

The bathrobe wrapped around Feng Sihan became loose because of his movements. Shi Nian explained clearly what he wanted to say, and his eyes began to become vague again.

She pursed her dry lips and twisted her fingers together, "I have nothing else to do... Then I'll go back first, good night."

Shi Nian lowered his head, turned around, and fled away.

She just took a step to the side when her arm hanging by her side was suddenly grabbed by a big hand.

A burning heat came from his wrist bones, and Shi Nian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She pulled her arm away but didn't move, feeling a little panicked.

Feng Sihan...what does he want to do?

Shi Nian pretended to be calm, "Si Han, what else do you want?"

“Why don’t you talk to me?”

The charming thoughts floating in Shi Nian's mind suddenly disappeared. She was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively, "Aren't we just chatting now?"

Feng Sihan raised his hand and pointed at his phone, "I mean online chat."

Shi Nian was puzzled. "We live together, and we see each other every day. Just like now, I need to find you for something. I can just come and knock on your door. We can talk face to face. How efficient is this?"

Feng Sihan said, "When we are not at home, you don't often visit me."

Shi Nian explained truthfully, "Your job is special, and I'm afraid to disturb you at work."

"I won't disturb you. I can receive messages when I am free. If there is an emergency, I will turn off my phone, so you don't have to worry about disturbing me."

Feng Sihan paused and said, "As long as I see your message, I will reply."

"I know. You've already explained this to me."

"You know, why didn't you message me?"

The topic has come around, why is it coming back again?

Shi Nian was puzzled, "Si Han, what do you want to say?"

The air was quiet for a moment, and Shi Nian seemed to hear Feng Sihan sigh.

Feng Sihan loosened his grip on her wrist and said, "Nothing."

Shi Nian held his hand with her backhand, "Don't say it's nothing, Si Han, you must have something. I'm sorry, I really didn't understand, I don't understand, if we have anything to talk about, why do we have to talk online? Or do you want us to talk on the phone rather than face to face?"

Feng Sihan looked at her, "You often play with your phone, but never look for me."
