"Song Sichen, why have you appeared at my house so frequently these days?"
When Ran returned home, he saw Song Sichen in the hall again.
Having just acquired the mine, he should be very busy, but he always appears in front of Shi Ran as if nothing has happened.
“Actually, I came here to give you this.”
Song Sichen took out a small box from his arms, opened it and showed it to Shi Ran.
"diamond?"
It doesn't look like an ordinary diamond.
"Did you carve this yourself?"
The diamond inside the box looks like a bird.
"Why... a little bird?"
Such an expensive diamond is carved into the shape of a bird.
"Because I want Shi Ran to be like a little bird, free in the future, able to go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants. She's a free person, just like a bird, able to fly freely in the sky. Don't be a canary, a canary locked in a cage. Don't do that."
Although you may not know it, it just so happens that Shi Ran likes birds.
I like the feeling of freedom that Song Sichen talked about.
"Thanks!"
When Song Sichen heard Shi Ran's thanks, he closed his eyes and smiled.
Shi Ran put it back into the box temporarily, then stood up from his seat and said to Song Sichen.
"Come with me."
Shi Ran took Song Sichen to the room opposite Shi Ran's bedroom.
"Want to take a look inside?"
Shi Ran opened the door and said to Song Sichen.
"ah……"
The next second after Song Sichen made the sound, Shi Ran opened the door of the room and saw a lot of items inside.
"These are the gifts you gave me during my time at the academy. Can you see them?"
"What?"
"Over there are the puppets and gems that were sent to me after they were carved. Over there are the books. And that big bear doll you made yourself. You're also very good at sewing."
The room was saturated.
There is no room for gifts anymore.
"So now you don't have to give me any more gifts."
"But this..."
Song Sichen handed the box to Shi Ran again.
"I accept it."
Shi Ran still took the box.
"Thanks……"
Song Sichen looked at the room full of gifts and smiled.
It was only because Shi Ran did not throw away the gifts he gave her, but collected them instead.
Shi Ran said in panic.
"I should be the one saying thank you. After all, you are the one who gave me the gift."
"I still want to thank you." Song Sichen looked around the room, his eyes sparkling. "If you give Shi Ran a gift, you'll feel better."
"Why?"
"Because it means I can give you something."
Song Sichen smiled darkly under his long eyelashes.
That smiling face overlapped with the image of Song Sichen sitting in the forest that was about to collapse.
Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Just like that, Shi Ran looked around at the gifts in the room, and Song Sichen began to explain one by one why these gifts were given.
During this period, Shi Ran would occasionally ask some curious questions.
"Song Sichen, is there really no place you haven't been?"
"Well, I went traveling because it was my holiday."
"Is that why you didn't return to Nanhu?"
Song Sichen hesitated for a moment before answering Shi Ran's question.
"That was an agreement with Madam Song. I took the money on the condition that I go out to study and won't return to Nanhu before graduation."
"clear."
Shi Ran didn't care at first where the money came from to acquire the mine, but after hearing what Song Sichen said, he understood.
"So I traveled, saw a lot, and learned a lot, because I have been near Nanhu since I was born, and there are many things I don't know."
Song Sichen said somewhat bitterly.
Before meeting Shi Ran, Song Sichen's world consisted only of the collapsing backyard and the surrounding woods.
Although I moved after seeing Shi Ran, the situation has improved.
But he longed to see, hear, and experience more.
Shi Ran patted Song Sichen on the shoulder and said, "Well done, you're able to get money from Madam Song."
Song Sichen followed Shi Ran and said with a smile: "I have been near Shi Ran a few times, but I didn't come to see you because it was too dangerous."
"Is it dangerous?"
“Sometimes there are sudden attacks.”
"Did Madam Song send someone to attack you?"
Song Sichen nodded, his face looking too calm.
Actually, it’s not unexpected.
When Song Sichen was very young, Mrs. Song had already poisoned him. Shi Ran thought about it now. If she had called the police, would Mrs. Song have been arrested?
No guarantee.
It was very easy for Mrs. Song to make her subordinates scapegoats.
"You've been like this since you were a child! You're scared, Song Sichen. You were worried about getting hurt and dying. Now you're older and can resist."
Thinking of Song Sichen, who was pale, expressionless, and in danger due to poisoning and didn't want to help her, Shi Ran felt sad.
But looking at Shi Ran like this, Song Sichen smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Because I like you, I worry about you."
"Song Sichen..."
"I know."
Song Sichen said in a low voice.
Before Shi Ran could speak, Song Sichen continued.
"Don't worry, Shiran, I will survive because you kept me alive."
This is what Shi Ran said in the woods.
I still remember those words.
While feeling excited, the long-lost fighting spirit also surged in my heart.
