[Sheng Tian 20] Don't Hide

Fang Tiantian felt tears streaming down her face, only to be wiped away again and again.

Ignoring his own burning ears, Yan Sheng gently comforted her as if she were a precious treasure.

"Sweet."

"I didn't exceed the three years I promised you."

Fang Tiantian burst into tears again after hearing his words: "You've changed so much..."

Seeing her cry, Yan Sheng also felt sad: "Sweetie, I won't change."

For as long as Fang Tiantian cried, Yan Sheng wiped away her tears.

Fang Tiantian used up almost half a pack of tissues before she finally tried to calm herself down.

She sniffed, then suddenly turned her face away, refusing to let him touch her, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to go home and sleep."

The sound of the car door unlocking rang out, and Fang Tiantian rushed out.

But his left hand was immediately grabbed.

Yan Sheng grasped her slender wrist with his palm, which was burning hot: "Sweetie, I'm off this weekend, can I see Little Sweetie?"

I have no other excuse to justify myself. I want to see you, but I can only use the puppy as a reason.

Fang Tiantian was dizzy and disoriented. She had been crying for so long and her voice was still thick with tears. Her tone was less resistant as she said, "Let go first."

"……good."

Yan Sheng loosened his grip slightly, and the smooth wrist slipped away instantly.

Only the sound of the door closing suddenly rang out.

Inside the room.

Fang Tiantian covered her face and plopped down on the carpet. Recalling the expression on Yan Sheng's face when he was coaxing her, her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her ears.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Frustration ravaged her smooth hair, and Fang Tiantian hated herself for her complete lack of self-control whenever she was around Yan Sheng.

She just cried so ugly! It was so embarrassing!!

It's all Yan Sheng's fault! Why did he have to say he missed me the moment he opened his mouth! How awful!

I took my phone out of my bag, and as soon as I turned it on, I saw a message pushed to me by a social media app.

Fang Tiantian wanted to scroll out of the messages, but her hand slipped and she clicked on them.

The page features a large "Explosive" sign following the "Most Handsome Diplomat" section.

Before she could even hesitate about whether to click to see, Liang Chuying's messages had already bombarded her.

"Oh my god! Sweetie! The enemy is a cadre from the Central Committee!"

"picture"

"I was thinking of taking care of him for you! But now, please excuse me, I'm sorry, sister! I can't beat him!"

"Where are they? Where are they?! Show yourself!"

Fang Tiantian switched back to her social media app and clicked on the topic.

As Liang Chuying said, there wasn't a single negative comment below; they were all praising him for being amazing or handsome, or praising the motherland.

Fang Tiantian held her breath and typed furiously on the keyboard, replying in the comments section with "What a bad man!"

As soon as I clicked send, the message disappeared, and the platform displayed "This comment has been banned from being published".

Fang Tiantian felt like crying again.

Switch back to WeChat and curse him together with Liang Chuying.

"Waaaaah, Chu Chu, they won't let me curse him in the comments section."

"He's always been a bad man, sob sob."

Liang Chuying quickly advised, "Sweetie, you know what this kind of topic is like..."

Fang Tiantian felt incredibly frustrated. She had been crying while people were around, but now she couldn't even vent her anger in the comments section, and she wanted to smash her phone again.

She wiped away her tears a couple of times, then angrily went into the bathroom to shower and go to sleep.

…………

For the next few days, Fang Yue ate dinner at home every day, then turned on the 100-inch TV in the dining room and tuned it to the news channel right on time.

I watched it for three whole days in a row.

However, the banquet only appeared once.

But that didn't stop Fang Yue from praising him: "Xiao Sheng is getting more and more handsome. He's so outstanding now. The girls who like him must be lined up all the way to Siberia."

Fang Tiantian could only glare at him secretly while eating her meal, and then casually glance at the TV screen out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh, so are there girls who like you lined up at your office door?"

Fang Yue finished eating in a few bites and gently tapped her on the head: "Don't worry about your brother's affairs."

Fang Tiantian scoffed inwardly, rested for a while, and then took Yan Xiaotian for a walk.

A large golden retriever walked towards us by the lake in the park.

Yan Xiaotian leaned over to sniff it, and the two puppies hit it off immediately, excitedly circling each other.

The golden retriever's owner was a man who looked to be around thirty years old. Fang Tiantian fed the puppy a can of food and asked, "Brother, what's your dog's name?"

"Call it 'get rich'."

Fang Tiantian laughed, "This name is too direct."

Seeing the little girl smile, the man smiled too: "Is yours from West Highlands? What's it called?"

"Call her Yan Xiaotian."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Xiaotian's fluffy tail suddenly rose high, her nose twitched wildly, and she excitedly wriggled around in her arms.

The man chuckled twice, and the other woman said sweetly, "The dog takes your surname, right? That sounds so sweet."

Fang Tiantian: "..."

"Uh, no..."

The male homeowner guessed again: "Is that your boyfriend's or husband's surname? Haha, it's a very sweet name."

Fang Tiantian: "...". Not knowing how to answer, she simply gave a perfunctory reply.

Seeing this, the male owner chatted with her for a bit about his experience raising dogs, and then quickly led the Golden Retriever away.

Fang Tiantian looked at the puppy still wriggling in her arms and tapped its head: "Why are you so happy today?"

As they walked, one of them said, "Was it that can of food from earlier...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Fang Tiantian slowly looked up and, in the twilight and under the streetlights, saw Yan Sheng, who had been standing under the tree for who knows how long, staring at her intently.

Fang Tiantian's gaze froze.

She admitted that he was excessively handsome, but he was also excessively so.

That was her first thought.

A second thought immediately came to mind. Remembering how she had cried uncontrollably in the car that day, Fang Tiantian turned and left.

Yan Xiaotian, nestled in her arms, barked uncontrollably, seemingly trying to get down from her embrace.

Fang Tiantian tried to stop it from getting down, but in her haste, it managed to squeeze out of her arms and ran wildly towards Yan Sheng.

"Sweet."

Yan Sheng was calling her again.

Fang Tiantian wanted to take the dog back, but found that he suddenly lifted his foot and walked towards her.

She took a step back in a panic, looked up as if to sternly rebuke him, but when their eyes met, she found herself staring into his clear gaze.

"Sweetie, please don't avoid me, okay?"

As the man's presence gradually enveloped her, Fang Tiantian felt dizzy.

What he had kept hidden for so many years, what he dared not say or face, is now bursting forth with an unstoppable force.

When Yan Sheng saw her chatting with that man just now, a sour feeling spread from his limbs to his bones.

It felt like he was back in winter in Massachusetts, with snow falling, and he was standing in front of the library, feeling cold all over.

But when he saw that she didn't deny the person's question, Yan Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up again.

Like moonlight spilling onto a calm lake, shimmering with a gentle glow, so tender that it perfectly reflects Fang Tiantian's silhouette.
