Shen Yunjin is usually quite sharp-tongued, and almost no one can out-argue him.
Unexpectedly, Nan Zhi's few words left him speechless.
Listening to the man on the other end of the phone, anxiously trying to explain but unsure how, Nanzhi chuckled softly.
Hearing her laughter, Shen Yunjin knew she wasn't angry, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
"Did the commander give you a hard time?"
"No."
"Really? What did you say that made him not suspect you?"
Nanzhi was a little curious.
Shen Yunjin repeated what he had told Shen Zhencai to Nanzhi.
After hearing this, Nan Zhi laughed so hard she almost couldn't control her ladylike demeanor and slapped her thigh.
She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes and joked, "So our young Marshal Shen likes men?"
"Zhizhi, I only like you."
Shen Yunjin suddenly confessed his feelings.
Nan Zhi's eyebrows curved slightly. "You'd still like me even if I were a man?"
"like."
The answer was still given without hesitation.
After hearing this, Nan Zhi looked slightly surprised, but quickly smiled and said, "That's just a hypothetical situation. Maybe if I really became a man, you wouldn't be able to see me anymore."
"It's visible."
He answered softly.
Nanzhi seemed to see his serious and focused eyes through his voice.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It's just a hypothetical situation; anyone can make that promise.
She didn't believe it entirely, but Shen Yunjin's answer undoubtedly made her feel even happier.
The two chatted for a while longer. Shen Yunjin kept expressing concern for her safety, reminding her not to open the door to strangers, to have the hotel deliver food if she was hungry, and not to go out for the next few days.
"I will send a few people over to protect you secretly, you..."
"When will you come to see me?"
Nanzhi suddenly interrupted him.
Shen Yunjin, afraid that Nanzhi would be angry, tightened his breathing. "Zhizhi, I may have to wait a few days until my father is less suspicious before I can see you."
"Okay, it's fine, you can come a few days later."
Nanzhi's answer was calm, showing no anger whatsoever.
Shen Yunjin, however, became rather unhappy.
She seemed completely unconcerned whether he went or not...
His eyes darkened slightly, but he still casually told her to be careful and to call him if anything urgent happened.
Finally, when she said goodnight, there was no sound from the other end. Shen Yunjin thought she had hung up and was about to hang up when she suddenly heard a voice from the other end.
"Shen Yunjin, I miss you a little."
Shen Yunjin almost doubted that he had misheard, because at first it was all men's voices, and suddenly a woman's voice made his mind a little confused.
But he knew clearly that it was her voice.
Shen Yunjin, I miss you a little.
Shen Yunjin, I miss you a little.
The voice kept echoing in his mind, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his lips. Despite his cold and hard face, he was smiling brightly like a student, radiant and cheerful.
"Zhizhi, I...I miss you so much too." He was so excited he was almost incoherent. "I'll finish things here as soon as possible to see you. Wait for me, please wait for me, okay?"
"good."
She agreed.
Shen Yunjin was even happier. He gripped the phone tighter, unsure of what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Zhizhi, could you say that again?"
He wanted to hear more.
He thought the girl wouldn't agree, but the next moment he heard her gentle voice again, "Shen Yunjin, I miss you so much."
Shen Yunjin, I miss you a little.
Shen Yunjin, I miss you so much.
The missing word made Shen Yunjin's heart pound with excitement.
He couldn't wait to run to her, hug and kiss her, and tell her how happy he was.
"It's getting late, I'm hanging up now."
Shen Yunjin was reluctant to part with it, and tentatively pushed her luck: "No... I... I want to hear it one more time."
"I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Shen Yunjin was already very content, and he couldn't hide his smile. "Okay, then you hang up first. Good night."
"good evening."
As the call ended, Shen Yunjin's excitement remained undiminished. He picked up the receiver, looked at it, and praised, "You look quite good today."
Microphone: ? ? ?
He smiled as he took off his clothes and went into the bathroom, raising his eyebrows as he looked at the showerhead spraying water.
"You're not bad looking either."
Shower head: ?_??
Is this human sick?
Doesn't it look the same every day?
After hanging up the phone, Nanzhi remained silent for a long time.
She stroked the upward curve of her lips, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She said those two sentences weren't entirely meant to make Shen Yunjin happy.
Perhaps her initial intention was... but after he finished speaking, hearing his excited tone, she also felt the joy in her heart.
She hadn't felt this way in a very, very long time.
Memories from the previous plane remain, but the emotions have solidified and vanished.
She couldn't remember ever being this happy before.
But now, she is happy.
Shen Yunjin is truly a bewitching beauty, so alluring.
But he wasn't there, and she couldn't sleep again, finally falling asleep close to one in the morning.
Shen Yunjin's condition was even worse; she suffered from insomnia all night.
His mind was filled with Nan Zhi's words, and he woke up laughing in his sleep.
The next morning, everyone in the Marshal's Mansion could sense that Shen Yunjin was in a good mood.
He gets up on time for his morning run, and while eating breakfast, he praises the maid who cooks the meal and even the dining table.
"This table is square and looks quite upright."
