Shi Nian's face flushed. Under the gaze of several people, she took out a long, large gift box from the last health product package and handed it to Feng Sihan, "Sihan, happy birthday."
Feng Sihan took it. The gift box was very light and he didn’t know what was inside.
He carefully opened the lid under Shi Nian's expectant gaze, and a dark gray scarf came into view.
Shi Nian's heart also floated when she saw the fruits of her labor being picked up by Feng Sihan.
Her cheeks flushed and she whispered, "I knitted this scarf myself. I hope you like it."
Feng Sihan was surprised and fiddled with the scarf in his hand over and over again.
This was actually knitted for him by Shi Nian herself!
Grandma Feng praised, "Nian Nian is really clever and skillful."
Shi Nian was a little embarrassed. "I learned it from my sister. Grandma Feng, if you like, I will knit one with you."
"Sure, I want a red one to wear during the Chinese New Year."
"no problem."
Shi Nian met Mother Feng's gaze and asked hurriedly, "Mom, do you want it?"
"Then I'll also have a red one, Nian Nian, thank you for your hard work."
“It’s not hard.”
Grandma Feng asked, "Sihan, why did you put the scarf away? Let Nian Nian try it on for you, so that we can see the effect."
Shi Nian's cheeks turned red in an instant, and she looked at Feng Sihan questioningly.
Feng Sihan looked at his grandmother with a helpless look. His grandmother had loved teasing him and Shi Nian since they got married. Why hasn't she given up this hobby yet?
Grandma Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you looking at me? Read my scarf."
Feng Sihan looked at Shi Nian, who blushed and took the scarf, whispering, "Stay closer to me."
Feng Sihan lowered his head in cooperation. Shi Nian carefully wrapped the scarf around his neck and arranged it, then said softly, "Alright."
She met Feng Sihan's deep gaze and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Shi Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly. She sensed him approaching and quickly turned sideways to sit up straight, raising her hand to tidy up the loose hair beside her ears.
Grandma Feng was still praising the beautiful scarf she had knitted. Shi Nian echoed her, absent-mindedly paying attention to the man's every move beside her.
She put her hand down one second, and the next second it was held by a big hand.
The heat from Feng Sihan's palm spread along her skin and touched her heart.
Shi Nian turned her wrist but didn't struggle. She gently scratched his palm with her fingers and said with a red face, "Stop it."
At noon, Shi Nian and Feng Sihan's whole family sat around the long dining table to eat, feeling the warmth of family for the first time.
Grandma Feng was afraid that Shi Nian would feel embarrassed to pick up some food, so she kept urging Feng Sihan to pick up some food for her.
Feng's mother was also very kind to her, helping her to serve soup and pass her paper.
"Nian Nian, do you want to eat fruit? I'll ask Auntie to make you a fruit plate."
Mother Feng looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't be restrained. This will be your home from now on."
Shi Nian's soft heart was touched, her eyes became hot, she shook her head, and then nodded.
As far as she could remember, Liu Chunyan had never been so gentle and caring towards her.
She couldn't help but think with a sour nose, if she hadn't been lost from her biological parents, would her biological mother... be as gentle as Feng's mother?
Feng Sihan understood Shi Nian's heart and explained, "Mom, Nian Nian and I have other plans this afternoon, so don't eat the fruit plate for now. We will come over often in the future."
Mother Feng gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Don't I know you? You always think the army is your home. If it wasn't for Nian Nian, would you be willing to come back this time?"
Feng Sihan coughed lightly, "I will apply to stay and work more locally in the future."
Grandma Feng snorted, "Alright, let's talk about the future later. Let me ask you, do you still have almost a week of vacation?"
"yes."
"You two will leave home in a while. Starting from this afternoon, you will accompany Nian Nian and make up for the time you missed with her. Do you understand?"
"Grandma, even if you don't tell me, I will do this."
Shi Nian listened to the conversation between the old man and the child, feeling like a bystander.
The scene before his eyes was too warm and perfect, as if it was fake. Shi Nian was so happy that he became anxious and worried.
She was afraid that everything was just a beautiful dream and that one day she would wake up from it.
On the way home, Shi Nian leaned against the car door, with a lot on his mind.
Feng Sihan observed her expression through the rearview mirror. Seeing that she pursed her lips and remained silent, he broke the silence, "Niannian, my parents like you very much, and they also like the gifts you gave them."
He paused, his eyes gentle, "I didn't have time to say thank you for the scarf you gave me just now. I like it very much. When the weather gets colder, I will wear it every day."
Shi Nian was brought back to reality by Feng Sihan's voice, "Sorry, what did you say just now?"
"I like the scarf you gave me very much."
The light at the intersection turned red. Shi Nian turned her head and met Feng Sihan's eyes. Her heartstrings were touched when she heard his deep voice.
Feng Sihan's voice seemed to have magical power, infusing peace into her heart.
Shi Nian's lips curled up slightly, "As long as you like it, I have been knitting it secretly for a long time."
She recalled, "I wanted to give you a surprise, so I kept knitting without your knowledge. One night, you suddenly knocked on my door and scared me."
Feng Sihan thought back to that night, and thought, it turns out that what she was hiding was a gift for him.
He heard the car behind him honking, so he collected his thoughts and started driving.
Shi Nian looked out the car window, and his excited mood gradually cooled down.
Shi Nian felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart. She repeatedly turned her head to look at Feng Sihan, wanting to tell him what was on her mind, but every time the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She sighed silently, returned home, said she was a little sleepy, and went back to her bedroom.
Shi Nian lay on the bed and buried her head in the pillow.
The phone vibrated, bringing her back to reality.
The message was sent by Zhao Xinyue.
[Niannian, how do your parents-in-law treat you? Are they very happy to receive the gifts you give them?]
Shi Nian sighed softly.
【They are all very friendly and treat me very well. 】
[Now you can finally rest assured! I told you that with your charm, you will definitely be able to make them laugh! ]
【No.】
【? 】
Shi Nian's finger was hovering above the screen, and she was just hesitating about what to say when Zhao Xinyue called.
The call was connected. Zhao Xinyue heard Shi Nian sighing and asked hurriedly, "Niannian, what's wrong with you? They are all very nice to you, why are you still sighing?"
Shi Nian held her breath and turned to look at the tightly closed bedroom door.
She didn't hear any movement from the outer room, so she spoke into the receiver of her mobile phone in a very low voice, "Xinyue, I just found out that Sihan's brother is the richest man in Beijing!"
"What?! Is this true?!"
Zhao Xinyue's voice suddenly rose, and Shi Nian's eardrums were almost pierced by her shouting.
She held the phone away, her heart beating fast.
Zhao Xinyue's voice was still coming intermittently.
"Niannian, is the richest man you are talking about the richest man I know?"
"Oh my god, if his brother is the richest man, then the Feng family is so rich! Wouldn't you marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife?"
