Chapter 165 There is a secret hidden in the bookshelf

After a long while, An Yuening tried to hold back, but still couldn't help it, "No, is the person you are talking about really your Shen male god?"

Xu Jia raised his blue eyes slightly and hummed, "Yes."

An Yuening: "..."

She held it in for a long time before finally uttering, "Awesome."

How can it not be awesome?

When she was in college, she had always known about Shen Xichuan from Xu Jialan.

After meeting him later, I had a general idea of ​​what kind of personality that man had.

But he had nothing in common with the man Xu Jialan had just mentioned.

"I say, has your Shen male god lost his mind in love?"

Xu Jialan glanced at her and asked, "What are you talking about?"

“I’m serious.” An Yuening approached her and analyzed seriously, “You have known Shen Xichuan for so many years, have you ever seen him feel wronged?”

Xu Jialan paused and shook his head, "No."

He is a child of destiny, what can't he get?

How could he, who is so high-spirited and full of energy, feel wronged?

"That's right, that's Shen Xichuan, the second young master of the Shen family. If he really wants it, the entire Shen family is his. How could such a person be wronged?"

An Yuening further analyzed, "You said he felt wronged, and he felt wronged only because you didn't reply to his message. Isn't it because he likes you so much?"

"So I feel lost and sad when I don't hear from you, but when others do, he doesn't, so naturally he feels wronged."

After hearing what she said, Xu Jialan was stunned for a few seconds, "You mean, he likes me now... likes me very much?"

"yes."

An Yuening nodded, picked up the Coke and took a sip.

"Otherwise, why would he feel aggrieved because you didn't send a message?"

Xu Jialan lowered his eyes slightly as he looked at the food in the bowl, poking at it with his chopsticks intermittently, not knowing what he was thinking.

An Yuening looked at her for a few seconds, thought about it, and asked tentatively, “Lanlan, have you…ever thought about confessing to Shen Xichuan?”

Hearing this, Xu Jialan tilted his head to look at her, "What are you confessing?"

"That's right, confess that you've liked him for many years. It's fine if you didn't want to tell him before, but do you really plan to never tell him for the rest of your life?"

Xu Jialan paused and sighed, "I haven't figured out how to say it yet."

At that time, she chose to bury her feelings deep in her heart.

Let the seeds of secret love take root and sprout in your heart.

Ten years later, the seed has long since grown into a towering tree.

Later, it was fortunate enough to be blessed by the sun and bear fruit.

But this secret is still unknown to him.

Looking at her expression, An Yuening bit her chopsticks guiltily, "Or, did you deliberately let him discover this secret?"

"How did he find out?"

"That's right..." An Yuening thought for a moment, her eyes lighting up. "Isn't New Year's Eve coming up soon? On New Year's Eve, you deliberately put the evidence of your ten-year crush on him where he can see it, and let him find it himself. Think of it as your New Year's gift to him, how about that?"

An Yuening smiled, "Being secretly loved by my wife for ten years, this surprise is big enough, right? Shen Xichuan must be very happy."

Xu Jialan: "..."

She looked at An Yuening helplessly, "What kind of bad idea is this?"

"I'm serious, what a bad idea! Can you think of a better one?" An Yuening asked back.

Xu Jialan paused and shook his head frankly, "No."

"That's it, you've thought about it so much, but you still haven't figured out how to confess to him?"

An Yuening sighed, "We've been married for so long, and we've been through so much. Everything that was supposed to happen has happened, so why are you still so hesitant?"

"What?" She looked at Xu Jialan jokingly, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to get out of bed on New Year's Day?"

Xu Jialan: "..."

She pushed her head away in mock anger and said, "Shut up."

An Yuening smiled and stopped teasing her.

But what she said kept echoing in Xu Jialan's mind.

She pursed her lips, as if hesitating about something.

But she didn't notice that An Yuening, who was standing next to her, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her expression.

…

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The last day of December.

Xu Jialan was woken up by the alarm clock.

She drowsily pulled her hand out from under the covers and turned off the alarm clock.

I wanted to continue sleeping.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly opened her sleepy eyes.

I picked up my phone and looked at today's date.

Then he subconsciously turned his head to look at the place beside him.

Obviously, both of them went to bed late last night.

But Shen Xichuan still got up earlier than her.

When Xu Jialan thought of last night, a faint blush appeared on his face.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek with the back of her hand.

Tsk, it’s so hot.

After she simply washed up, Shen Xichuan still didn’t come back.

Xu Jialan made a cup of hot mocha and went to the study, closing the door.

She put down the cup and looked up at the bookshelf not far away.

In the past few months, Shen Xichuan has worked in this study many times.

He has also read several books on the bookshelf.

But what he didn't know was that there was a secret hidden in the bookshelf.

A girl had a crush on him for his entire youth.

Xu Jialan sighed silently and walked over.

There is also a staircase next to the bookshelf.

She stepped on it and removed the fake potted plant that looked like a decoration.

Then he reached his hand in and found a secret compartment inside.

Xu Jialan took out a tin box that was placed inside.

Put the potted plant back in its place.

Xu Jialan sat on the chair and slowly opened the box.

Revealing the box filled with paper cranes.

Herein lies the greatest secret of her entire youth.

A secret that even An Yuening doesn't know.

She looked at it quietly for a while before taking one out and slowly unwrapping the paper crane.

There were words written on the creased origami.

Xu Jialan's eyes fell on the paper.

August 11, 2014.

On this day, I no longer have a father.

But on this day, I actually...saw him.

Shen Xichuan.

He really is as handsome in person as he is in his newspaper photos.

The world is clearly gray.

But after he appeared, things were different.

Like a can of Coke, it's brightly colored and sweet.

Xu Jialan put down the origami and picked up another paper crane and opened it.

She lowered her eyes.

[September 2014.]

I saw him again.

But this time it was different. He and I were no longer just strangers passing by.

We actually became high school classmates.

What a coincidence, Shen Xichuan. 】

[November 2014.]

The midterm exam results are out.

I'm not number one anymore.

The first one is him.

I am very happy.

[December 2014.]

Happy New Year, Shen Xichuan!

It’s really nice to meet you. 】

…

Xu Jialan looked at the words on the origami and was silent for a long time.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, she picked up the origami, and carefully restored it to its original shape along the crease.

Then, put it back in the box.

She had just closed the lid when she heard some noise outside.

He is back.

Xu Jialan opened the drawer of the desk, put the box in it, then got up and left the study.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Shen Xichuan.

The man paused, "You're still busy working on the weekend?"
