Shen Fu was carrying two large bags of food. He raised his eyelids and looked at Ning Wan: "I bought some vegetables..."
Ning Wan silently got up, took the bag, and turned to go back into the kitchen.
Shen Fu lowered his head and followed behind her like a little dog.
Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, which wasn't as sweet as before, Sun Wen asked curiously, "What's wrong with them? Did they have a fight?"
Xu Xiufeng shook her head: "I don't know either."
Although Ning Wan usually respects her and treats her like an elder.
But even Xu Xiufeng shouldn't pry into such private matters...
...
The unusual atmosphere inside the store did not affect the two children outside at all.
Wang Zihao and Ning Yanshu squeezed together, sitting on a large rock by the door eating candy.
057 also drifted over to their side.
The weather is lovely today; the sun feels warm and comforting on my skin.
Ning Yanshu and Wang Zihao closed their eyes, basking in the sunlight.
He looked completely at ease.
057 saw that Ning Yanshu's little face was rosy from the sun.
Light and shadow danced around him, creating a soft halo. How come he looked almost...good-looking?
...
His eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and the twinkling stars in his eyes were particularly captivating.
Ning Yanshu stared blankly at 057, not understanding why it kept staring at him.
He winked at it and smiled.
057's cheeks immediately flushed red.
Ning Yanshu held up a finger: "You've changed color again."
057 fled in disarray.
"What changed color?" After finishing his candy, Wang Zihao asked, "Little Mole, what game do we want to play?"
"What should we play?" Ning Yanshu rested his chin on his hands, thinking seriously for a long time: "I can't think of anything..."
The store is too small; it can't hold too many things.
So most of his toys were kept at home.
"How about we play Monopoly?" Wang Zihao had often heard Ning Yanshu talk about this game: "I also want to play Monopoly."
“But I left the Monopoly game at my aunt’s house last time,” Ning Yanshu said. “However, I know how to get there.”
"Okay! Let's go!"
Seeing this, 057 quickly stopped them: "No! You're still children; you can't just run around like that."
If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is likely to occur!
However, Ning Yanshu didn't take it to heart: "Don't worry, I know how to get there via a small path. It only takes a few minutes."
"And I'm careful to watch out for cars when I cross the street; I don't run around or talk to strangers."
057 [...]
Is this the problem?!
“You’re right~” Wang Zihao took Ning Yanshu’s hand: “Let’s go, let’s set off!”
Urged on by him, the two of them turned into the alley next door.
057 glanced at them, then at the adults in the shop.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and followed.
He was still muttering to himself: "[He's clearly a highly intelligent system administrator, yet he has to worry about everything like a mother hen. What a waste! ~]"
...
Inside the kitchen, Ning Wan took the food out of the bag one by one and was about to get the repackaged bags.
He turned around but was startled by Shen Fu who followed him in.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was already wrapped up in Shen Fu's arms.
The kitchen was cramped and small, not to mention that Shen Fu was practically pressing his entire body against her.
The air seemed to freeze, and Ning Wan could barely breathe.
“Aman…” Ning Wan raised her hand to stop him: “Move aside.”
“No.” Shen Fu’s tone was tinged with grievance and pitifulness: “Wanwan is avoiding me.”
Ning Wan fell silent for a moment.
"Why are you avoiding me? Did I say or do something wrong? ...Or does Wanwan hate me or get tired of me?"
“No…” Ning Wan lowered her head and murmured, “I don’t hate you… it’s my own fault.”
Shen Fu: "I know many things are hard for you to accept. I know I should give Wanwan enough time to see the answer in your heart. But Wanwan, I'm scared..."
Ning Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Shen Fu pressed his head against her forehead, his expression full of insecurity: "No matter what happens, I can always be absolutely certain. Because I know that even if I can't do it now, as long as I work hard enough and persevere enough, I will definitely succeed one day!"
"If one year isn't enough, then ten years; if ten years isn't enough, then twenty years. I'm not afraid to wait; I can wait!"
He has been using this method to motivate himself for many years.
No matter what difficulties we encounter, no matter how many times we fail.
As long as he is alive, there is always a chance.
But he simply couldn't apply this kind of "persistence" to Ning Wan.
Shen Fu knew that if Ning Wan said she didn't like it or that she hated it, he wouldn't dare to force her anymore.
“Wanwan, I’m so scared…” Shen Fu began, his voice filled with panic and unease: “I’m not young anymore. I’m nine years older than you. I have neither the dashing talent of a noble young master nor the elegant demeanor of a pampered son.”
To outsiders, he may seem to be living a glamorous life as the group's president.
But these are all just superficial illusions.
Only Shen Fu himself knew how inferior and insecure he felt when facing Ning Wan.
"Our love lacked the romance of love at first sight, and the gentle warmth of a long-lasting relationship... all we had was that one terrible night of reunion. You should hate me..."
The people who caused Ning Wan's suffering were not just her parents.
He was one of the sinners too.
Simply hoping for Ning Wan's forgiveness was difficult enough. How could he dare to hope for her love?
...
Shen Fu pressed his lips tightly together, not daring to cry out loud.
Only large tears remained, one after another, covering her cheeks.
He became timid and prone to crying.
He became hesitant and indecisive, lost and disillusioned, and unlike himself.
Ning Wan looked at the man pressing down on her.
Even though he was crying so hard, the arm around her waist seemed so domineering and forceful.
She was not allowed to back down an inch.
"I don't hate you, and I certainly don't despise you." She sighed, raising her hand to wipe away his tears. "I just don't know how to express it to you... I don't know how to tell you..."
She tried to pull her hand back, but Shen Fu held her palm and gently rubbed it against his cheek.
He asked, "Is it because the Wanwan of the past is different from the Wanwan of now?"
Ning Wan's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at him in disbelief.
How could he possibly know? ...
