Cheng Ze mustered up his courage and said, "I have no ill intentions... I just simply want to be friends with you. Of course, if you are willing, I also hope that our relationship can be closer."
He held two bottles of water in one hand and looked around anxiously for his phone, "Let's add WeChat."
Shi Nian was just doubting with uncertainty just now, but after hearing his words, she was stunned.
Is Cheng Ze...confessing his feelings to her?
She couldn't believe it and her eyes widened.
This was the first time since she was a child that a member of the opposite sex had said these words to her.
Cheng Ze fumbled for his phone in his trouser pocket, found the QR code, handed it to her, and smiled at her shyly.
Feng Sihan had an unsightly expression on his face as he stared at him closely, but his peripheral vision was always on Shi Nian.
Shi Nian was frightened by his enthusiasm and stepped back, getting closer to Feng Sihan.
She apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't want my husband to misunderstand, so I won't add you on WeChat. It's nice to meet you. Since you're here so often, you'll run into us again in the future."
"So you two are really a couple?"
Shi Nian couldn't help but want to laugh. Why did he keep insisting on this question?
She nodded seriously, "Really? If I lie to you, I will gain ten pounds."
Before she finished her words, Feng Sihan put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her into his arms.
Shi Nian's cheeks felt hot and she felt a little embarrassed.
Cheng Ze saw the interaction between the two, clenched his fists, and accepted the reality, "Sorry to bother you."
Feng Sihan said, "Wait a minute."
Cheng Ze had already turned around, but hearing what he said, he felt hope again and quickly turned back, his arms suddenly feeling heavy.
Feng Sihan reminded, "You forgot to take your water."
Cheng Ze left like a wilted eggplant, and Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
She tried to break free from Feng Sihan's arms, but Feng Sihan's hands held her shoulders tightly.
She raised her hand and patted, "Si Han, you can let me go, he's gone."
In sight, Cheng Ze walked towards his friends. The group said something to each other, then packed up their things and walked towards the locker room in a group.
Shi Nian stared at their backs, sighed softly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, there will be a day when I will be hit on by a handsome guy."
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She raised her hand and patted Feng Sihan, meeting his gaze and winking at him playfully, "This shows that your wife is still somewhat attractive!"
She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "You have to be nicer to me. If you make me sad one day, the person pursuing me will be the first one to be unhappy."
Feng Sihan corrected him seriously, "I won't make you sad."
Shi Nian smiled, "I know, I believe you."
The force on her shoulders loosened, and she broke free from Feng Sihan's arms, walked around to him to see his expression, "Sihan, Cheng Ze came to me and asked for my WeChat, are you jealous?"
He was more than just jealous.
The possessive desire made him almost lose his mind. He wanted to interrupt them countless times, drive Cheng Ze away, and let Shi Nian's eyes only fall on him.
He was afraid of scaring Shi Nian, so he didn't show it on his face, and his turbulent emotions were hidden deep in his heart.
Feng Sihan took a deep breath, met Shi Nian's playful gaze, and said in a roundabout way, "Nian Nian, we come to the gym to work out."
Shi Nian chased after him and said, "Change the subject!"
Feng Sihan sat in front of the equipment and demonstrated to her.
When Shi Nian saw the bulging muscles on his arms, her eyes widened. She wanted to look but was too embarrassed to do so. The words that were on the tip of her tongue were instantly forgotten, and she put what had just happened out of her mind.
Feng Sihan simply did it twice and released the handle, "Niannian, you try it."
Shi Nian felt dizzy. Following his guidance, she sat down, adjusted her posture, raised her arms, held the armrests, and tried to do chest expansion exercises.
Feng Sihan's movements were clean and neat when he demonstrated, and it looked effortless.
Shi Nian followed suit, her face flushed, and she moved the device a few centimeters.
She released her strength, loosened her clenched hands, and exhaled, "It's so heavy."
She was a little annoyed, rubbed her red palms, and tried again with all her strength.
This time she pushed the machine without much effort.
There was a flash of surprise in Shi Nian's eyes. She noticed Feng Sihan standing beside her with his hands on top, pushing the steel pipe to help her. She immediately realized what was going on.
She smiled helplessly, "Si Han, you are helping me cheat."
"I'll take my hands away. You'll get hurt if you operate alone."
Shi Nian's cheeks were hot, "If you do this... will my fitness still be effective?"
"Yes, I will gradually reduce the force until you can control it on your own."
Encouraged by Feng Sihan, Shi Nian started pushing the machine again.
Just as Feng Sihan described, her arms gradually became tired and soon began to feel sore.
Throughout the entire evening, Feng Sihan took her to try out all the equipment in the gym one by one.
On the way home, Shi Nian slumped in the passenger seat, not even having the strength to lift a finger.
Her mind moved slightly, and she turned sideways to look at Feng Sihan.
Feng Sihan keenly noticed her gaze and asked, "Niannian, what's wrong?"
"Before we met, had any girl ever confessed her love to you? The kind who specifically asked for your contact information and gave you gifts?"
Shi Nian's gossiping spirit was aroused, and she looked at him nervously, expecting his answer.
"I'm usually in the army or on missions outside, so I haven't paid much attention to it."
Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I thought you would be very popular with girls and have no shortage of suitors around you."
“They all think I’m difficult to get along with.”
Shi Nian was curious, "Who said that?"
She opened up the conversation and asked, "Has Grandma Feng introduced you to other girls before?"
"have."
"A lot?"
"Quite a few."
Shi Nian's heart trembled, and the corners of his lips that were raised gradually fell.
She bit her lower lip and asked quickly, "Then why didn't you marry them?" And why did you marry me?
It was the first time that Shi Nian heard him talk about these things. She felt mixed emotions and had many questions in her mind, but she was too embarrassed to ask them all.
While waiting for Feng Sihan's answer for a few seconds, her heart beat rapidly and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms.
"My grandma introduced me to many girls, but for various reasons, I didn't meet any of them. The only one I met was you."
"And then you got the marriage certificate from me?"
"yes."
Feng Sihan recalled the scene when his grandmother first described Shi Nian to him. The corners of his lips unconsciously raised, and tenderness flashed in his eyes.
In her grandmother's words, she is a lively and cheerful little sun, but also a poor person trapped in her original family waiting to be rescued.
He happened to stay in the local area during this period. At the urging of his grandmother, he met her and later hastily obtained a marriage certificate.
As they got along after marriage, he became more and more convinced of his grandmother's evaluation of her.
Shi Nian was even cuter, more filial, and kind-hearted than he had expected. He was attracted to her more than once. After realizing his feelings for her, he was extremely grateful to have met her.
Feng Sihan was immersed in his memories and did not notice the flash of disappointment in Shi Nian's eyes.
