"No, I'm a coward... What if I guess the truth... How embarrassed would I be?"
Shi Nian sighed, "We won't meet until next week anyway, I'll ask him when I get to know him."
Zhao Xinyue said in a serious tone, "You are escaping from reality."
She raised an eyebrow, "If you don't dare, how about I ask for you?"
Shi Nian hurriedly stopped him, "Don't!"
She paused, crossed her arms, and looked at Zhao Xinyue with a scrutinizing gaze, pretending to be angry, "Xinyue, are you always secretly telling Sihan about me behind my back?"
"Unfair, when did I ..."
Zhao Xinyue's voice suddenly stopped. She laughed dryly at Shi Nian and hugged her arm. "Are you asking about what happened in the morning? That was an accident... Oh, I was worried about you. I knew your husband would be able to coax you, so I told him. But I swear, I only asked him to call you, not come over!"
Shi Nian knew that she was not lying to her, and hummed, "Don't do it again."
Zhao Xinyue responded with a smile, and then changed the subject, "Officer Feng came over with food and drinks to coax you without anyone telling him. Doesn't this indirectly confirm your position in his heart? Nian Nian, didn't you say that you are already an old married couple? In that case, you should just speak directly to each other if you have anything to say."
Shi Nian bit her lower lip lightly, "Then I'll find a suitable time to ask him."
The sound of wind chimes rang out, and guests who had made reservations in advance entered the store.
Shi Nian suppressed his thoughts and quickly stood up with Zhao Xinyue to greet them.
Shi Nian was busy all afternoon and only had time to drink a sip of water two minutes before closing time.
"No, I have to recruit two people to help in the store. Xinyue, if you know anyone, please introduce them to me."
"no problem."
Shi Nian was exhausted. When he got home, the only thing on his mind was to lie down on the bed as soon as possible.
At night, after taking a shower, she lay on the bed and stretched comfortably before she regained the energy to think about other things.
Zhao Xinyue's proposal rang in her ears again. Shi Nian clicked into the chat interface with Feng Sihan and deleted and modified the text she entered in the dialog box. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't suit her.
She deleted everything she had typed and sighed in frustration.
When she first married Feng Sihan, she only wanted to escape from her suffocating family and didn't think too much about it.
As married life gets back on track, all the problems that were hidden and unresolved before marriage come to the fore.
The phone in her hand suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts.
Shi Nian lowered her head, and Feng Sihan's message suddenly popped up.
[Nian Nian, what do you want to tell me? ]
Shi Nian's heart stopped for a moment and he almost threw the phone away.
How did Feng Sihan know that she wanted to send him a message?
At dinner time, Shi Nian looked tired and ate quietly the whole time.
Feng Sihan wanted to wait until she was full before talking to her for a while, so when he went into the kitchen to wash his hands, she had already returned to the bedroom when he came out.
After thinking it over, he decided to ask her what was wrong.
He clicked into the chat room with Shi Nian, but unexpectedly found that she was also messaging him at this moment.
I just don’t know why, she has been revising it and hasn’t sent it to me.
Feng Sihan waited for a while, watching the user ID on the dialog box frequently switch to the other party typing, and finally change back to the user ID, feeling more and more confused.
What exactly did she want to say to him?
Shi Nian was silent for longer and longer periods of time, and Feng Sihan couldn't help but send a message to ask.
He didn't wait for Shi Nian's reply and sent another one.
[Are you asleep? If not, I'll come find you? ]
Shi Nian held the phone in her hand and her heart started beating fast when she saw the text message from Feng Sihan.
Zhao Xinyue was right. The problem was right in front of her. If she delayed solving it, she would be escaping from reality.
Since she had to solve the problem in the end after all she had avoided, she might as well make it quick and easy.
Shi Nian made up his mind, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, ran to the next bedroom in slippers and knocked on the door.
After a few seconds, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
She raised her head and looked at Feng Sihan, "Sihan, let's talk!"
Seeing her serious tone and determined eyes, Feng Sihan was stunned for a moment, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Did she know something? That’s why she has been acting so abnormal since she came home at noon…
Feng Sihan was silent for a few seconds, then turned sideways and asked, "Come in and talk?"
Shi Nian nimbly squeezed past him into the bedroom, saw the quilt already spread out, and realized that he was already lying on the bed when she knocked on the door.
Her cheeks flushed, she looked away, and stood awkwardly by the bed.
Feng Sihan stepped forward and pushed the quilt away, "Nian Nian, sit down."
"No, no, I'll finish quickly."
Shi Nian coughed lightly and looked up into his dark eyes. "Si Han, I just want to ask, do your parents dislike me?"
She asked the questions she had been holding back for a long time, and her heart felt relieved for a moment, but then she was enveloped by nervousness.
She stared at Feng Sihan without blinking, and the few seconds she waited for his answer seemed especially long.
Feng Sihan was surprised. He didn't expect that she didn't question his identity as a special forces soldier, but asked this instead.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he did not wait for Shi Nian to speak before speaking first.
If possible, he would like to confess to Shi Nian proactively rather than being exposed passively.
Shi Nian didn't get a response for a long time, and his mood became more and more depressed.
She pretended to be relaxed, "Si Han, it's okay. If uncle and aunt don't like me, just tell me directly. I will try to make them like me. If... if it doesn't work, then we will..."
“They like you very much.”
Shi Nian's mood hit rock bottom and rebounded. Her beautiful eyes widened in an instant and she looked at him without blinking, "Are you sure that uncle and aunt really like me? You are not afraid that I will feel uncomfortable and want to comfort me, so you lied to me, right?"
"They told me so themselves."
Shi Nian was even more confused. "Then why did you say no when I suggested in the car at noon that we make a video call to uncle and aunt?"
She still felt sad when she recalled her mood at that time.
She meant well. Even if Feng Sihan wanted to refuse, couldn't he consider her feelings and express it more tactfully?
Her eyelashes trembled, "You rejected me at that time, and I thought uncle and aunt didn't like me."
Feng Sihan had already forgotten about this, and only remembered what he said after she reminded him.
Seeing the moisture in Shi Nian's eyes, he panicked and explained quickly, "Don't cry, it's my fault. I didn't make myself clear at the time. I refused because they are still abroad and there is a time difference with us. For example, right now, they are still sleeping in the other hemisphere. Plus, they will be back in a few days, so I thought I would arrange for you to meet on my birthday."
Shi Nian still couldn't believe it, and looked at him with red eyes, "You really didn't lie to me?"
"If you don't believe me, I can show you the chat history."
Feng Sihan clicked on the chat history with his mother and handed the phone to Shi Nian.
At his instruction, Shi Nian glanced at the screen, her eyes suddenly stopped, and her cheeks turned red in an instant.
