"I agree with what you and Shi Wei said. If two people fall in love with each other, they will fall in love. My feelings for you are the same as yours for me. You have to have confidence in our relationship."
When Shi Nian met his burning gaze, a flame ignited in her heart, and the flame burned more and more vigorously, enveloping her entire body.
Her cheeks were hot and she nodded dizzily, "Okay."
The two were silent, and ambiguity spread in the air.
Feng Sihan spoke up to break the silence, "Niannian, if you have any ideas in the future, you can tell me directly. I am very happy to communicate with you. It was my fault for giving Wang Fan money rashly. Don't worry, I will get the money back."
"I want to be with you."
"Okay, let's figure it out together."
A smile appeared on Shi Nian's face again, and the depression that had been accumulating in his heart for recent days dissipated in an instant.
The two left Shi Wei's house and went home to have a hotpot.
After dinner, Shi Nian changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom. She was a little surprised to see Feng Sihan sitting in the living room.
Feng Sihan stood up and said, "Niannian, are you going to see your friend?"
Shi Nian was surprised, "How did you know?"
"I guess."
Her thoughts are all shown on her face and are always easy to guess.
Feng Sihan smiled at her and said, "I'll drive you there."
Shi Nian was stunned where she was. Did he laugh just now?
The sound of the door opening interrupted Shi Nian's thoughts and she hurriedly followed him out.
Shi Nian directed Feng Sihan to drive to Zhao Xinyue's residential area and find her home, where he unexpectedly ran into Fang Ning.
Fang Ning saw the two of them and nodded slightly.
He stepped aside and said, "Nian Nian, since you are here, I will leave first."
Shi Nian called Fang Ning, "Senior, should I go to work in the store tomorrow?"
"Come on, the store has been closed for a while, so it should be busy in the early days."
He smiled at Zhao Xinyue and said, "Xinyue, I'll come to see you again when I have time."
Zhao Xinyue's face flushed, and she waved at him, "I won't see you off. We'll call each other in the evening."
"good."
Shi Nian observed the expressions of the two people. Zhao Xinyue had a cute and innocent expression, and Fang Ning's eyes were full of Zhao Xinyue. The two of them looked like a couple in love.
The suspicion in her heart gradually faded. She waved Fang Ning away, quickly sat down on the bed, and hugged Zhao Xinyue, "Xinyue, you are finally back! Aren't you working as a cashier in the store? Why are you traveling with a stranger?"
Shi Nian let go of Zhao Xinyue and looked at her with concern.
Zhao Xinyue sighed and said angrily, "I was cheated! I was alone in another province, I had no friends, and no one wanted to hang out with me when I took a break. One day, a female customer came to the store. She was about my age, and we started chatting. She said she was a college student and showed me her student ID."
"And you believed her?"
"I didn't believe it. No matter how well we got along, we were just strangers who had met once."
Zhao Xinyue paused, "There are many customers coming to the store every day. I can't remember who I talked to. Later, she took a fancy to a kitten in our store, but she always refused to buy it, saying that she was not allowed to keep it in the dormitory and wanted to buy it after graduation. After a few visits, we gradually became familiar with each other."
Zhao Xinyue fell into reminiscence, frowning. "My boss and I took turns to work as cashiers and accountants. One night, I called my family to complain about the heavy workload and how tired I was. My boss heard it and immediately asked me to take a day off the next day. It was a very busy time, and it was a rare day off. I was very happy. It happened that the girl was also in the store. She told me that she wanted to go to a nearby island for a day and asked if I wanted to go with her."
She regretted, "I was so stupid that I agreed to go. The next day she called me and said she was coming to pick me up. I got in the car and didn't suspect anything until the car drove to the beach and other people got in. Then I realized something was wrong because she told me she was alone."
Shi Nian asked, "So you threw the wallet out?"
"Yes, I wanted to get out of the car, but the door was locked. The window wasn't fully up at the time, so I threw the wallet out while they weren't paying attention. I thought there were so many people on the beach, someone would pick it up and take it to the police station."
Zhao Xinyue's eyes turned red. "They drove the boat to the port. There was no one around. I wanted to break the car window and escape, but someone covered my mouth. I smelled a pungent smell and I knew nothing. When I woke up, I was locked in a room that looked like a guesthouse. The guards didn't speak Chinese and were armed. I saw with my own eyes that they shot and killed a person who was trying to escape. That person's eyes were still open when he died."
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "They pointed a gun at me and asked me to falsify accounts and launder money. I was scared and I didn't dare to disobey them..."
Shi Nian hugged her and said, "Xinyue, it's okay. It's all over."
Zhao Xinyue hugged her for a while and expressed her doubts, "I never told that woman that I studied accounting. Did they think I was a professional just because I worked as a cashier? I haven't seen that woman since I was arrested by the fraud organization. It seems that they assume that I know accounting knowledge."
Zhao Xinyue recalled the details and thought of those bloody scenes, and her head began to ache again.
She raised her hands and waved them in front of her eyes twice, "No, I can't think about it anymore."
She met Shi Nian's worried gaze and said apologetically, "Niannian, I'm sorry. Brother Ning told me that you came to see me to give me a surprise and celebrate my birthday with me, but I messed it up."
"No, Xinyue, I still regret that I didn't come to find you earlier on my birthday. That way I could have discovered your accident earlier and rescued you earlier."
Shi Nian asked again, "Xinyue, did you lose your phone?"
"Yes, I lost my phone a while ago. I was too busy at that time, so I always suspected that someone in the store took it away. Later, when I had some free time, I didn't have time to look for it... Then something happened."
Zhao Xinyue turned sideways and picked up a brand new mobile phone from the bedside. She raised her voice and said, "I told Brother Ning about this. He came over today and gave me a new one."
Feng Sihan suddenly asked, "Can I take a look at this phone?"
"sure."
Feng Sihan took the phone from Zhao Xinyue, flipped through it, and asked, "Can I unlock the screen and take a look?"
"Sure, but I haven't had time to download the software on this phone yet, so it's still brand new and has just been factory-set."
Shi Nian saw him carefully looking through his phone and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Si Han, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Xinyue also asked, "Mr. Feng, is there any problem with this phone?"
Feng Sihan quickly checked the system settings and did not find any virus software that should not be there.
Was he overthinking it? Or was Fang Ning already prepared?
He frowned slightly and raised his eyes to meet the two people's questioning gazes.
