Zhao Xinyue came over and waved twice in front of Shi Nian, "Niannian, I'm leaving first?"
"Okay, bye."
Shi Nian said goodbye to her bestie and answered the phone, "Hello? Si Han."
"Are you done?"
"Just finished."
"Are they still in the store?"
"Who is it?"
"Those two men."
Shi Nian took a moment to react and couldn't help laughing, "They left a long time ago."
Feng Sihan hummed, "It's better to leave."
Shi Nian raised the corners of her lips, "Is everything going well for you? Can you come back tomorrow?"
"It is very likely that he will come back tomorrow. If he does, it will be evening."
Feng Sihan asked again, "I heard a car horn in the background. You haven't gone home yet?"
"I'm still in the store."
"It's getting cold in China, and it's getting dark earlier and earlier. You should go home before dark, and we can talk later."
"good."
Shi Nian hung up the phone, walked to the door of the store, and pushed the door open to go in.
She found a half-knitted scarf in the cupboard behind the sofa and whispered, "I almost forgot about you."
Feng Sihan was not at home, so she had plenty of time to knit a scarf.
Shi Nian was in a good mood. He picked up the paper bag, locked the shop door, and rode his electric bike home.
The busyness dispelled Shi Nian's separation anxiety from Feng Sihan. The next night, she finally finished knitting the whole scarf and put it into the gift box she had bought in advance.
Shi Nian sent a message to Feng Sihan in the afternoon, asking him when he would be back today, but she never received a reply.
At night, she changed out of her pajamas and still hadn't received any message from Feng Sihan.
Shi Nian couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She calculated the time difference and realized that it was not time for him to rest yet.
Even if he was on a plane in the afternoon, the plane he was on should have landed by now.
Shi Nian hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Zhao Xinyue.
[Xinyue, did Officer Han tell you that they are back? ]
[No, are they back? ]
[No, I suddenly couldn't contact Si Han, so I asked you. ]
[Do you need me to ask Han Ye for you? ]
Shi Nian thought for a while and typed slowly.
【Forget it, I think they might be busy. 】
[Wait for Han Ye to contact me, and I’ll tell you.]
【Thank you.】
Shi Nian put down her phone and lay on the bed for a while. Seeing that it was still early, she took out a piece of draft paper to draw a design.
She calmed down, and the speed of time accelerated unconsciously.
Shi Nian was suddenly inspired and didn't stop writing until he put all the ideas in his mind on paper.
She glanced at the time. It was already half past twelve in the morning.
Shi Nian stretched lazily, feeling tired gradually.
She went to the kitchen to get some water, and when she came out, she suddenly heard a slight noise outside the door.
She didn't turn on the light in the outer room. The only light in the whole house that was burning with warm yellow light was the desk lamp in the bedroom.
Shi Nian frowned, paused, and held his breath.
Is there anyone outside?
But it’s already past twelve o’clock, why would the neighbor be outside at this time?
Could it be that Feng Sihan is back?
Shi Nian's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down.
impossible.
Before she came out to get some water, she glanced at her phone. Feng Sihan still hadn't replied to her message.
Could it be a thief... or could it be Li Youcai coming here to cause trouble?
There were intermittent rustling sounds outside the door, and Shi Nian became more and more certain that the person outside the door was not Feng Sihan.
If it was Feng Sihan, he would have come in directly. Why would he linger at the door?
Shi Nian's heart was beating fast because of nervousness.
She tiptoed back to the kitchen, put down the cup of water, picked up the broom, and walked slowly towards the door along the wall.
She thought about all the possibilities, and the most likely person who appeared outside her house in the middle of the night was Li Youcai. Of course, she also did not rule out the possibility that Feng Sihan's enemies wanted to break into her house while he was away and hurt her in revenge against him.
In the darkness, Shi Nian's five senses became particularly sharp.
She slowly moved to the door and suddenly realized that she should go back to the bedroom to get her cell phone first!
What if the person outside the door is a lunatic who suddenly breaks in by picking the lock? Wouldn’t it be dangerous if she has no means of communication to ask for help from the outside world?
No matter what, she has come this far.
She would take a look at the situation outside first. If the situation was not good, she would still have time to run.
Shi Nian hesitated for two seconds, then made up his mind and stretched his neck to look at the cat's eye.
It was pitch black outside the cat's eyes and nothing could be seen.
Suddenly, there was a stomping sound, and a red spot appeared in front of Shi Nian's eyes.
She was startled and subconsciously stepped back away from the peephole.
There was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock behind the door. A large patch of bright red still appeared in Shi Nian's mind, and her scalp was numbed by the clanging sound.
She wanted to turn around and run back to the bedroom, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move.
Shi Nian breathed rapidly, holding the broom handle with both hands, and his heart trembled with the sound of the door lock.
The moment the door opened, her taut heartstrings suddenly broke. She closed her eyes, screamed, and swung the stick forward.
Shi Nian heard a muffled groan, and then a plop, as if something fell to the ground and landed at her feet.
She screamed and backed away, waving the broom handle in her hand without any reason. "Get out of here! I'm telling you, my husband is a special forces soldier. He's in the bedroom right now. If you wake him up, you'll lose your life!"
Shi Nian's feet slipped out of her slippers and she paused for a moment when she stepped on the cold floor. Her lower body stopped, and her upper body leaned back suddenly, and she fell backwards uncontrollably.
The expected pain did not come, and her body fell rapidly into a strong embrace.
Shi Nian struggled subconsciously, and suddenly heard a familiar whisper in her ears, "Niannian, it's me!"
Shi Nian's body froze for a moment, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Si Han?"
"It's me."
Shi Nian opened her eyes, but couldn't see clearly because of dizziness.
She calmed her chaotic heartbeat, and her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness. She saw the face of the black shadow in front of her clearly, and it was indeed Feng Sihan without a doubt.
Shi Nian was supported by him to stand up in a daze, and walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Nian Nian, I turned on the light."
"Oh, okay."
Shi Nian reacted half a second late, and was still dazzled by the sudden white light.
She sat on the sofa for a while, and after half a minute she slowly recovered.
She squinted her eyes to adjust to the light, and a figure walking back and forth appeared in her sight.
Shi Nian blinked twice, and her vision became clear.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw the rose petals scattered on the ground, and then she realized what the red color she saw in the cat's eye just now was.
It turned out that the thing she had just knocked to the ground with the broomstick was... a bunch of red roses.
Shi Nian's mood suddenly became complicated, and her eyes followed Feng Sihan, "Sihan, why didn't you tell me you came back? I thought some bad guys broke in... Why did you linger outside the door for so long before coming in?"
She frowned, stood up and walked towards him, holding his arm, "Did I hit you just now?"
"No."
Shi Nian retorted, "You are lying, I heard you groan!"
