Feng Ning left, but Ye Nuan seemed to have expected it. She just smiled sarcastically, wiped away her tears, and put the money on the table away.
She has already lost love and family; she can't afford to lose money too.
The door to the ward was not closed.
So someone saw all of this.
——
Time passed by, and no one paid attention to Ye Nuan's movements anymore, but some people were still concerned about whether Chen Li went gambling.
Every time she went there, she would be beaten, each time more severely than the last, so Chen Li stayed home and had some peace and quiet for a while.
Duan Ze and Shen Niannian had already returned to H State to continue their work.
Shen Niannian remained as clingy as ever to Duan Ze, spending almost all their time together except for sleeping. Duan Ze also became much more tolerant of Shen Niannian, even giving her a key to his house.
The days passed peacefully and uneventfully until the May Day holiday.
The night before the holiday.
Shen Niannian still came to find Duan Ze as usual.
Duan Ze opened the door: "Have you eaten?"
Shen Niannian shook her head: "I want to eat instant noodles."
Duan Ze frowned: "Why do you always like to eat these kinds of unhealthy things?"
During the few days she spent with him, Shen Niannian kept asking for instant noodles every day.
Shen Niannian: "I've never eaten this before."
It wasn't until she arrived in H state and saw Duan Ze eating instant noodles that she tried a bite herself and realized it was a delicacy.
Duan Ze was very skeptical of the truthfulness of Shen Niannian's words, but he still gave in to her wishes.
It was just that Duan Ze ordered the takeout himself.
Shen Niannian was huddled on his sofa, clutching a bucket of pickled pepper noodles. Her face was flushed from eating, and her lips were swollen from the spiciness, which made Duan Ze want to laugh.
"If you can't handle spicy food, why are you so enthusiastic about it?"
Shen Niannian's almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears from the spiciness, and she said while slurping, "Because...it's so delicious..."
Duan Ze couldn't bear to see it any longer and handed her a bottle of water.
Shen Niannian immediately smiled brightly: "Thank you, Brother Duan."
Shen Niannian is very easy to please. She likes Duan Ze because, although Duan Ze has different opinions on some of the things she does and even occasionally makes sarcastic remarks, he also spoils her.
Although Duan Ze and Duan Ye are brothers, they have completely different personalities.
Luo Qingyuan likes people like Duan Ye, while she happens to like people like Duan Ze.
Looking at Shen Niannian's silly appearance, Duan Ze couldn't help but doubt his judgment again.
Duan Ze shook his head and continued eating his takeout.
"After you get off work tomorrow, pack your things carefully. We're leaving early the day after tomorrow and probably won't arrive until evening."
Shen Niannian was somewhat surprised: "Driving?"
Duan Ze nodded: "Drive, because I still need to bring some things home."
Shen Niannian really wanted to say that the plane would only take two hours, so why bother driving? As for the luggage, it could be checked in, but after glancing at Duan Ze, Shen Niannian didn't say it.
Shen Niannian: "Okay, I've also prepared some things. Come help me move them later."
Duan Ze: "You don't need to prepare anything, I will prepare everything that needs to be prepared."
Shen Niannian usually listened to Duan Ze, but on this matter, she smiled and said, "Brother Duan, this is my heartfelt wish."
Duan Ze never expected that this silly girl could say such a thing.
Duan Ze smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Shen Niannian felt as sweet as if she had been coated with honey.
After finishing her instant noodles, it was already past 7 p.m., but Shen Niannian still didn't want to go back.
Just as Duan Ze was about to say something, Shen Niannian hurriedly interrupted, "Let's go for a walk and digest our food."
Shen Niannian remembered what Luo Qingyuan had said: taking a walk with the person you love is a very happy thing.
Duan Ze swallowed back the words he wanted to use to urge Chen Niannian to go back.
"good."
So the two went downstairs together. Duan Ze was 1.81 meters tall, and standing next to Shen Niannian made her feel very safe.
It's like... no matter what happens in the future, Duan Ze will always stand by her side.
Shen Niannian has short hair that just reaches her shoulders. She has a great figure with curves, but her face is round and her skin is so tender it looks like you could squeeze water out of it. She doesn't look like an adult at all.
As Shen Niannian walked, she suddenly approached Duan Ze. Duan Ze could only smell that Shen Niannian's scent was very sweet...
The next second, Shen Niannian mustered her courage and took Duan Ze's hand.
Duan Ze subconsciously looked at her, but Shen Niannian quickly turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, but her fingers unconsciously intertwined with his.
Shen Niannian: "Don't think I'm like this to everyone. I might talk a lot of nonsense, but I've never been this proactive before."
Originally, she only wanted to help Luo Qingyuan stall Duan Ze, but she ended up falling in love with him as time went on.
Upon hearing this, a smile flashed across Duan Ze's eyes. He was still reluctant to let go of the warmth in Shen Niannian's palm, so he didn't loosen his grip but instead tightened it.
I'll reluctantly believe you.
After Duan Ze finished speaking, Shen Niannian suddenly turned around with a sweet smile. Upon closer inspection, there were actually shallow dimples on her cheeks, which were very pretty.
"Duan Ze, you're so annoying! Can't you say something nice to me to coax me?"
Duan Ze chuckled: "What do you want to hear?"
Shen Niannian scoffed, "How can you be like this? You don't know how to say sweet nothings, and you even ask girls what they want to hear. No wonder you've been single for so long..."
"Honestly, are you this cold to all girls, which is why no one dares to approach you?"
Duan Ze was a little embarrassed. In fact, whether in his student days or at work, there were quite a few women who had expressed their affection for him. But perhaps it was really because he always had a cold face that, apart from someone as persistent as Shen Niannian, no one could stay by his side for long.
