Feng Sihan said, "I'll take you to work this afternoon, and when you get off work, I'll pick you up, which will save some time on the way."
Shi Nian was dizzy and nodded in agreement without thinking.
Feng Sihan got the answer he wanted and was in a good mood.
He wanted to be with Shi Nian at all times, and he also wanted to use his actions to tell the opposite sex around her that she belonged to him.
The phone suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts.
Shi Nian picked up the phone and saw the caller, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She quickly answered, "Aunt Zhao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Mother Zhao couldn't hide her anxiety in her tone, "Niannian, has Xinyue contacted you during this period?"
Shi Nian recalled, "We were chatting on WeChat two days ago, but we haven't been in touch today."
She asked again, "Aunt Zhao, what's wrong? Can't you contact her?"
"Yes, Xinyue usually goes on a long trip and reports to her family every now and then. This time, she called me and her father when she just arrived at her destination, and then there was no news. No, there was another time when she sent us a message saying that she was busy at work and asked us not to disturb her."
Mother Zhao sighed, "No matter how busy you are at work, you should always have time to call during your breaks, right? Xinyue has grown up and this is the first time she has left her family and friends to go to such a far place. How can we, as parents, feel at ease?"
Shi Nian quickly comforted her, "Aunt Zhao, don't worry. I'll call her later, and if the call goes through, I'll ask her to call you back."
"Okay, kid, please."
Shi Nian hung up the phone. Feng Sihan saw that she was frowning and asked with concern, "Niannian, what happened?"
"My best friend's mother called and said she couldn't reach her."
Shi Nian found Zhao Xinyue's number and spoke quickly, "Si Han, I'll talk to you later. Aunt Zhao is still waiting for me. I'll call Xinyue first."
Shi Nian dialed the number, the notification tone sounded twice, and the call was suddenly hung up.
Why did Xinyue hang up the phone?
Isn't this a way to find someone?
Shi Nian clicked into the chat interface with her with doubts in mind.
Before she finished typing the message in the dialog box, a message from her best friend popped up.
[Nian Nian, what's wrong? ]
Shi Nian deleted the original text and pressed the voice button, "Xinyue, is it convenient for you to call now?"
[Wait for me, I'll find a headset. ]
Most of Shi Nian's doubts were dispelled. Noticing Feng Sihan's gaze, he quickly said, "It's okay. We've contacted the person."
Feng Sihan's brows relaxed. When he saw Shi Nian's phone screen jump, he reminded her, "Your friend called."
Before he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
Shi Nian quickly swiped the screen to answer the call, and Zhao Xinyue's voice came out, "Niannian, you asked me to call you, what's the matter?"
"Your mother called me just now and said that she couldn't contact you. She was worried that something had happened to you, so she came to me. Xinyue, hang up the phone and call your aunt right away. She will feel relieved when she hears your voice."
"OK."
Shi Nian was still waiting for Zhao Xinyue to say the next word. After a few seconds, she realized that her best friend had already finished answering.
"Xinyue, why are you so quiet now? Also, what's going on over there? Why do I hear a crackling sound?"
Her best friend's voice drowned out hers, "Niannian, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll call my mom first."
Shi Nian quickly said, "I'm fine. I called just to relay what Auntie said."
"My mom called again. I'll hang up first."
"Oh, okay."
The call was disconnected in an instant, and Shi Nian held the phone, staring at the screen in a daze.
Are best friends stressful?
She seems a little different from before...
"Nian Nian?"
Shi Nian came back to her senses instantly when she heard Feng Sihan's call.
"Um?"
"The food is a little cold, I'll take it to the kitchen to heat it up."
Shi Nian also stood up, "I'll go with you."
The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and when they returned to the restaurant, Shi Nian saw the breathing light of the mobile phone on the table flashing, so she quickly picked it up to check.
There was a missed call from Aunt Zhang and an unread text message.
[Niannian, Xinyue called me just now, thank you.]
Shi Nian replied politely before putting down the phone and breathing a sigh of relief.
She smiled again, "It's okay, let's eat."
After the little episode just now, she felt much less embarrassed and ashamed when facing Feng Sihan.
As long as Feng Sihan didn't mention it, she would deceive herself and pretend that nothing had happened.
Shi Nian chewed the vegetables in small bites and thought to herself, that's not right, why should she be embarrassed?
They are husband and wife. It is a fact that Feng Sihan is handsome. She pinches his face and touches his abdominal muscles... these are all the benefits of being his wife!
When I figured it out, I felt a little relieved.
She lowered her head to eat and didn't notice that Feng Sihan's eyes were always on her.
Shi Nian had rich expressions, sometimes frowning, sometimes grinning, switching back and forth between happiness and depression.
Feng Sihan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you still thinking about your friend?"
Shi Nian was imagining sweating happily with him in the gym at night. The corners of her lips slightly raised, and she asked with a smile, "What can happen to my friend?"
Feng Sihan said in a deep voice, "Nian Nian, I personally think that you should make a video call with her just in case. With advanced technology, voice-changing technology and AI face-changing are rampant nowadays. Criminals only need a piece of audio or a photo to make a fake look real."
Shi Nian opened her eyes wide, "That shouldn't be the case. What you said are all means of telecommunications fraud. Xinyue is doing fine, and she didn't mention asking for money from her family."
She frowned, "But I think she seems to be a little abnormal recently. Maybe she is new to society and is exhausted from work."
Shi Nian propped up her chin and looked at Feng Sihan, "Sihan, I think you have an occupational disease, and your nerves are a little too tense. Xinyue went there to help the senior, how could the senior harm her?"
Feng Sihan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
It was because of his involvement with Fang Ning that he became alert.
But he couldn't say these words to Shi Nian.
He was silent for a moment, "There are far more bad people in the world than you think. It's always better to be careful."
"It's okay. My birthday is coming up in a few days, so I'll take a plane to visit her. When we meet, I'll know what's going on over there."
After lunch, Shi Nian went back to the room to rest.
She lay on the bed with her clothes on, recalling what Feng Sihan had said at the dining table.
She stared at the ceiling for a while, then sat up and picked up her phone.
She scrolled up to look for the messages Zhao Xinyue had sent, found the location she had sent it from, and checked it on the map.
The cattery has already started business and has a high rating on Dianping.com.
Shi Nian's brows relaxed, and after thinking for a while, she decided to send a text message to Zhao's mother.
[Aunt Zhao, did Xinyue ask you for money on the phone? ]
