The Nan family.
10 PM.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Yin Han planned to go to bed.
He didn't dare go downstairs tonight, so he pretended to be asleep.
Otherwise, his future father-in-law would find out he wasn't sleeping and drag him to the study to work in the middle of the night.
He was supposed to be working together, but he was actually dozing off.
So he felt that his father-in-law already knew something, which was why he was watching him every day.
Sure enough, just ten minutes after he lay down, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiaohan, are you asleep?"
Yin Han did not answer. Two minutes later, he faintly heard footsteps gradually fading away.
After thinking that Yin Han had fallen asleep, Nan Lingtian quickly went back to the room. Just as he was about to jump onto the bed, he saw Yang Silin sitting in the middle of the bed, looking at him seriously.
Nan Lingtian was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Yang Silin hummed in agreement and pointed her long legs toward the bedside.
Only then did Nan Ling notice the bedding and pillow on the floor next to the bed.
“Wife…” Nan Lingtian immediately looked aggrieved.
Yang Silin ignored him and calmly lay down: "If you dawdle any longer, I'll sleep for three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Lingtian was already lying on the ground.
Yang Silin smiled. "Little brat, she thinks she can't handle him?"
It's his own fault for being disobedient in the office just now; his daughter and son-in-law both guessed it, and he lost face.
*****
Nan Sheng lay on the bed while playing on her phone.
"Niannian, didn't you say you weren't going home for the New Year?"
Nan Sheng just called Xiang Niannian because she had said before that she wouldn't be going home for the Chinese New Year. She was about to invite her to come over and celebrate the New Year together when she unexpectedly received a message saying that she had gone home yesterday.
"Yes, but my mom called me a couple of days ago and told me to come home."
"Okay, then text me if anything comes up. If your mom bullies you, I'll call you, understand?"
When Nan Sheng heard that she had gone home, she was a little worried, afraid that her mother might do something bad to Niannian again.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll argue back. Remember to tell your aunt and uncle for me."
Xiang Niannian spoke somewhat apologetically, after all, she had agreed with her aunt last time not to go home and to spend the New Year together.
"Yes, I will. By the way, Niannian, you're really going home, right?"
Nan Sheng suddenly asked uncertainly.
Startled, Xiang Niannian suddenly stammered, "Yes...yes, I replied."
Nan Sheng couldn't help but smile when she saw the message Wang Wentao had just sent. Was her second brother so afraid of being chased by people?
Wang Wentao: [Nan Sheng, I got home a couple of days ago. My deskmate isn't back yet. Remember to invite her to have New Year's Eve dinner with us, otherwise she'll probably be all lonely and bored.]
"Niannian, I know you didn't go home. Are you afraid of running into your second brother if you come here?"
Nan Sheng's words revealed Xiang Niannian's true feelings.
“Niannian, we are good friends. I don’t care whether you want to be with my second brother or not. If you do want to, that would be great. My second brother really likes you. If you don’t have anyone you like, you can consider it.”
But if you really don't like my second brother, that's fine too. Just come and spend the New Year with us. My second brother wouldn't dare do anything to you. I'll help you. If you don't like him, I won't let him get close to you.
Nan Sheng said earnestly that she really thought Niannian and her second brother were quite a good match, one a big bad wolf and the other a little white rabbit, plus her second brother was also a pure-hearted boy.
Xiang Niannian was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"no……"
"Niannian, you wouldn't be saying you still like Xiao Muze, would you?"
Xiao Muze is now a million miles away from them.
"No! I don't like him anymore! It's not that I don't like him anymore, but I might not like Xiao Muze. I might just feel grateful to him for helping me back then. Besides, I was only in junior high school at the time, and I didn't understand feelings yet."
This is what Xiang Niannian discovered during this period.
She read online that people's hearts beat faster and they become shy and very concerned about their words and actions when they are in front of someone they like.
"Then we should consider my second brother?"
Nan Sheng answered immediately.
"No, Sheng Sheng, I don't want to see Su Chuanlin, and I don't dare to appear in front of him."
Inside her rented room, Xiang Niannian looked at the calendar hanging on the wall not far away and answered softly.
"Why?" Nan Sheng lay on the bed, kicking her long legs back and forth. As if she had discovered some kind of code, she suddenly sat up: "Niannian, did you and my second brother do something unspeakable?"
Otherwise, why would they be afraid to see each other?
Although her second brother isn't as handsome as Han Baobao, he's still quite good-looking overall.
"How could that be?! Sheng Sheng, what are you thinking?"
Xiang Niannian's face flushed red involuntarily.
When Nan Sheng asked her that question, she thought of the series of kisses that day.
"If not, then what is the reason?"
Nan Sheng's attention was completely focused on her phone conversation with Xiang Niannian, and she didn't notice at all that someone had opened her room door and entered, and was standing behind her against the wall, watching her for a long, long time with a tender look of longing.
Xiang Niannian thought for a while, and after stammering for a long time, she finally said, "Because I recently told him I would give him a chance, but don't misunderstand, it wasn't a chance to agree, but a chance to pursue him. Then I went back on my word and didn't tell him clearly, so I've been avoiding him."
"Xiang Niannian!"
Nan Sheng suddenly jolted awake and jumped up and down on the bed.
Even Xiang Niannian, watching from behind the screen, was startled by her.
"Isn't this obviously falling in love? Look, if you weren't interested in Su Chuanlin, you wouldn't have agreed to give him a chance to pursue you. Maybe you could say you don't like him, but you definitely have feelings for him. Because a girl would be disgusted to be pursued by someone she doesn't like. The fact that you agreed to let him pursue you proves that my second brother still has a chance."
Nan Sheng was analyzing the situation logically and was speaking with great enthusiasm when she felt a warm breath on her neck.
She turned her head abruptly, and Yin Han kissed her on the lips.
"Sheng Sheng, actually... never mind, I'll tell you when we meet later, okay? I won't come over to celebrate the New Year with you. When I come to see you later, please don't tell Su Chuanlin that I didn't go home for the New Year, okay? I don't want to see him for the time being."
After speaking to Xiang Niannian, she waited for Nan Sheng's reply. After several dozen seconds without hearing any sound, she asked in confusion, "Sheng Sheng? Are you listening?"
Nan Sheng heard Xiang Niannian calling her repeatedly and struggled to push the person in front of her.
Helpless, Yin Han released her, sighed, and silently said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
"Niannian, I'm here. Okay, okay, I know. My mom's calling me. I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, Nan Sheng hung up the phone.
Sure enough, this is the real case of forgetting friends for the sake of beauty!
PS: Here I come!
