Although Zhang Wenyan only came for one day, she had a significant impact on Xiang Niannian.
After hanging up the phone, she sat on the sofa without moving until Nan Sheng and Lin Xiaoqi returned from get out of class.
Seeing Xiang Niannian sitting blankly on the sofa, the two exchanged a glance and then walked over, one sitting on each side.
"Niannian, what's wrong?"
This was the first time Nan Sheng had seen Xiang Niannian like this. She didn't find it strange, but rather very unusual, because Niannian always kept all her thoughts to herself and never revealed them.
"You're back." Xiang Niannian glanced at them and then continued to stare blankly on the sofa.
"No, Niannian, you were fine when you went out yesterday, weren't you? Or did that dog Su Chuanlin bully you because you didn't come back last night?"
Seeing that Xiang Niannian hadn't spoken for a while, Lin Xiaoqi put her hand on Xiang Niannian's shoulder.
Hearing Lin Xiaoqi's words, Nan Sheng realized that Niannian hadn't come back last night; she had assumed Niannian had gone back to her rented room.
Does this mean that Xiang Niannian and Su Chuanlin were together yesterday?
Single men and women, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, spend a night together and develop feelings for each other.
"Niannian! Did the big dog bully you?!"
Nan Sheng thought of this possibility and stood up excitedly. She really thought that Su Chuanlin had forced her to do something unreasonable, which was why Xiang Niannian was so depressed.
He was so excited that he wanted to call Su Chuanlin to settle the score.
"No, Sheng Sheng, that's not true."
Xiang Niannian grabbed Nan Sheng's hand and stopped her.
Nan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xiang Niannian's response. She had thought it was true; if it were, Su Chuanlin would have no chance.
"So what's wrong? Can you tell us? If you don't want to, that's fine too. If you're in a bad mood, we'll take you out for a fun-filled meal!"
Lin Xiaosi nodded in agreement.
“My mom came to see me yesterday.”
Xiang Niannian felt a chill in her heart when she thought about her mother's attitude.
"!! Are you alright? Did he agree with you and do anything?" Nan Sheng hadn't forgotten what Zhang Wenyan had wanted to do to Nian Nian before.
He kept checking Xiang Niannian's body, and when he saw a trace of a mark on her face, he frowned: "She hit you? Is she at the rented apartment now? I need to go find her."
Nan Sheng's expression was cold and stern.
Lin Xiaoqi, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. Why was her mother here? Shouldn't she be happy and joyful?
"Sheng Sheng, I'm fine. My mom just went back to her hometown. Her precious son was in a car accident. I was just thinking about something else."
"What?" Nan Sheng was still upset when she heard that Zhang Wenyan had returned to her hometown. A son is a treasure, but a daughter is just a weed. Such a mother does not deserve to be a mother.
"No, what kind of riddles are you two talking about? I can't understand a word of it. Is it because Niannian's mother is bad that you're angry?"
Lin Xiaoqi guessed.
Xiang Niannian looked at Nan Sheng, then at Lin Xiaoqi, her face showing some hesitation, or rather, difficulty in speaking.
"Niannian, do you not want your mother to know about my second brother's existence?"
Nan Sheng held Xiang Niannian's hand and asked with heartache and caution.
Xiang Niannian nodded.
"Because I felt very embarrassed..."
Xiang Niannian shared her thoughts and her current relationship with Su Chuanlin.
Lin Xiaoqi, who was standing to the side, finally understood and immediately cursed, "Damn it!"
He then patted Xiang Niannian on the back to comfort her, saying, "Niannian, don't be afraid. Just do whatever you want. I'll use money to crush that woman for you!"
Lin Xiaoqi's words amused Xiang Niannian: "Then aren't you doing what she wanted? You've gotten it for nothing."
"..." Lin Xiaoqi, that seems to make sense too.
“Niannian, have you ever thought that if my second brother knew all this, he wouldn’t care? He just likes you as a person. He likes Xiang Niannian. Nothing else matters because Xiang Niannian is wonderful and deserves his love.”
"Besides, in this matter, whether you're with your second brother or with anyone else, it's something you'll have to face. You have to trust Su Chuanlin."
"He loves you, so he will only feel sorry for you and want to protect you."
It must be said that Nan Sheng is absolutely right.
He loves you, so he will only feel more sorry for you.
These words echoed repeatedly in Xiang Niannian's mind.
After hearing what Nan Sheng said, Xiang Niannian stopped worrying and seemed to have suddenly seen the light.
In the days that followed, Xiang Niannian was no longer depressed and became bolder than before when facing Su Chuanlin.
Just as Nan Sheng said, she believed in Su Chuanlin.
******
Days passed by.
Another year has passed.
Xiang Niannian still didn't go home. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about going home, but her parents seemed to have accepted that she wasn't coming home. There were no phone calls or messages.
At first, she felt uncomfortable, but gradually, she accepted it.
At the same time, Su Chuanlin was still by her side.
She and Su Chuanlin were said to be together, but they still maintained a proper distance.
Besides studying and working, Su Chuanlin would appear in front of her whenever she had free time, as if he knew her schedule perfectly.
Little did he know, Su Chuanlin already had her class schedule, and he had also asked Yin Han how he arranged work for Xiang Niannian, which is why he always appeared in front of Xiang Niannian so punctually.
Soon, it was the night before Yin Han proposed to Nan Sheng.
Yin Han and everyone were discussing tomorrow's plans, but of course, Nan Sheng was not present.
When it was over, Su Chuanlin drove Xiang Niannian home, and the car was parked downstairs.
Just as Xiang Niannian was about to get off the bus, Su Chuanlin instinctively grabbed her.
"Nian Nian..."
Xiang Niannian was puzzled and turned to look at him, only to find that Su Chuanlin was looking at her with a very aggrieved expression. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she had bullied him.
After spending so much time together, Xiang Niannian became less shy and more natural.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
My sister is getting married...
The meaning is very clear: how much longer do you want me to wait? Waaaaah!
"And then?" Xiang Niannian asked, suppressing a laugh.
“…” Su Chuanlin.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay? It's late now."
Xiang Niannian opened the car door and got out. Fan didn't leave immediately, but instead leaned out of the car window and beckoned to Su Chuanlin with her finger.
Su Chuanlin was feeling wronged and upset when he saw Xiang Niannian beckoning to him, so he leaned closer.
"Kiss~ Goodnight, Su Chuanlin."
He kissed Niannian and then ran away!
This shocked Su Chuanlin.
Although they had kissed before, he always took advantage of Xiang Niannian. This time was different; Xiang Niannian took the initiative.
For some reason, Su Chuanlin suddenly saw hope!
What he doesn't know now is that his hope is about to arrive.
P.S.: Here I am, here I am! There will be another chapter later.
