It was the same quiet, late night, and the same cramped little house.
The same bowl of vegetable noodles, and the loved one sitting at the table beside me.
Shen Fu ate his noodles, but his eyes were fixed on Ning Wan.
The intense, burning gaze made Ning Wan blush.
Her face flushed, and she warned in a low voice, "...Eat your noodles properly."
To her surprise, Shen Fu countered with, "Now that you've finished eating, can we continue?"
Continue with what?
For some reason, Ning Wan understood the meaning behind his words and was speechless for a moment.
Shen Fu has a big appetite and finished a large bowl of noodles in just a few bites.
After cleaning up the dishes, Shen Fu started clinging to Ning Wan again, refusing to let go: "Wanwan, give me a hug~"
With just one hand, he easily covered Ning Wan's waist.
He gently pulled the person in his arms closer to him.
The warmth of his palm was like a raging fire, and Ning Wan instinctively recoiled, saying, "It tickles..."
The tone of voice was soft.
It's like she's being coquettish, or perhaps it's a seductive and alluring charm.
Shen Fu lifted her up easily and sat her on his lap: "Wanwan, give me a kiss~"
Ning Wan couldn't take it anymore: "...Wait, Aman, wait a minute."
He paused slightly, then calmly and obediently stepped back.
She still complained, "Wanwan already agreed."
Ning Wan composed herself and said, "Yes. But I have something very important to ask you."
Without hesitation, Shen Fu replied, "Love, deep love."
"Not this one." Ning Wan was both amused and exasperated.
She grasped Chen Fu's hands, which were wandering and roaming over her body, and asked earnestly, "Have we...have we met before?"
“Of course.” Shen Fu said meaningfully, “I think that with the current level of human technology, we are not yet capable of reproducing remotely.”
Ning Wan immediately understood.
Her face flushed, and she stammered, "I... I didn't mean that time... it was before."
Based on Ning Wan's understanding of the novel and the original owner's memories.
She and Shen Fu must have only met once.
However, through her interactions and conversations with Shen Fu, Ning Wan could easily discover that Shen Fu had actually known her for a much longer period of time.
It wasn't just the unconditional trust she placed in him when he had amnesia, but also the natural and intimate way they interacted after he regained his memory.
He said they had known each other for a very long time.
He said the smartwatch was the second gift he gave him.
He said they had crossed paths before.
These questions had lingered in Ning Wan's mind for a long time.
If she doesn't get an answer, she'll definitely be so troubled that she won't be able to sleep all night.
Shen Fu wasn't too surprised by Ning Wan's doubts.
He simply sighed helplessly, "...Have you really forgotten everything?"
Ning Wan's eyes were tired, and her mood suddenly became tense.
She had a premonition that what Shen Fu was about to say would shatter her original beliefs and ideas.
She suddenly grabbed Shen Fu's arm and hesitated, "It's a bit late tonight... how about we talk about it another day?"
Shen Fu didn't speak, but just gave her a deep look.
He sensed Ning Wan's intention to back down, but didn't press her further. He simply took her hand, their fingers intertwined: "Okay, I won't say anything."
If Wanwan doesn't want to hear it, then he won't say it.
He was willing to give her enough time and enough respect.
He would obediently stand on one of the options when Ning Wan was wavering.
Awaiting her choice...
...
Now it was Ning Wan's turn to fall silent.
Perhaps it was Chen Fu's tolerance that gave her a sense of security.
She finally said definitively, "Fine, let's talk about it anyway."
Ning Wan looked at Shen Fu with a determined gaze: "Aman, I want to hear it."
She wanted to know everything about the restoration, to understand it, and to participate in it.
Indecisiveness and waiting for death have never been in her nature.
Shen Fu chuckled and said helplessly, "Why are you still like a child, changing your mind so easily?"
He held Ning Wan in his arms and sat on the sofa, adjusting to a comfortable position.
With a slight parting of her thin lips, she began to slowly recount her story.
"That year, I was 14 years old. My mother had passed away when I was young. The Shen family was well-off, with three generations living together. But no one cared about me..."
When it comes to the past, even Shen Fu couldn't completely ignore it.
His voice carried a hint of coldness and a weathered, experienced quality...
...
The first half of the story was almost identical to what Ning Wan had read in the novel.
Shen Fu's mother fell ill from overwork when he was five years old.
He passed away a few months later.
At that time, the Shen family had the arrogant and domineering Zhong Yan, who was accompanied by the 8-year-old Shen Yurong.
Gao Muyun, who only cares about herself, and her daughter Shen Xinrou, who has just turned 6.
Shen Jiahao was self-righteous and often flaunted his status as the head of the family, but he spent every night lingering among women.
Although Li Hongxia was getting on in years, she wanted to control everyone in the Shen family and establish her own authority.
It was because of this that Li Hongxia made an exception and allowed Shen Fu and his son to stay.
Therefore, she and the strong-willed Zhong Yan clashed frequently.
After Shen's mother passed away, Shen Fu was occasionally bullied by Shen Yurong.
But with Li Hongxia's help, he managed to get through the year peacefully.
However, everything changed with the birth of the fourth son, Shen Xinxing.
Due to the influence of his upbringing, Shen Fu was sensitive, introverted, and didn't like to talk much from a young age.
He felt nothing but fear towards Li Hongxia and couldn't muster any affection for her whatsoever.
