She took another step closer, gritting her teeth and demanding, "I was quite happy that you didn't become a knight. You can't threaten me anymore, but you've tested positive for S+ level mental power, which means you're even better than me. You'll definitely be better off marrying in the future, and Lan Ping will definitely value you more. Besides, you even got admitted to the First Federation Academy. You're getting better and better, climbing higher and higher, and even hooking up with someone I couldn't even dream of. Why can't I hate you? You're just an ant from the slums!"
"Since I was little, my mother has forced me to learn this and that, prioritizing the family's honor. I sacrificed all my time to become the perfect heir, but what about you? You so easily snatched away all the glory, and now you have the nerve to claim we have no grudges? If you were as lowly as the dirt under my feet, I wouldn't even give you a second glance."
She raised her hand and tapped Lan Shuang's shoulder, her voice cold, "You'd better be careful, we haven't decided the winner yet."
Without waiting for Lan Shuang's answer, she rushed straight to Lan Shuang's shoulder, tossed her hair and walked away with high spirits.
Lan Shuang: “…”
"childish."
Lan Shuang curled her lips and said, "Then let the horse come over and give it a try."
What she likes most is that the person comes to her door to seek death, so that she has no psychological burden to take revenge.
…
Lan Shuang didn't actually do anything after returning to the dormitory. She just came to pick up a few books. She would not return them here because her relationship with Nian Siyan was just a stay-at-home and mutual help. If one day they had different ideas or fell out for some reason, she had to have her own way out.
People cannot always rely on others. Only when they have confidence can they be fearless.
In the next few days, Lan Shuang did not see Nian Siyan again. She attended classes as usual during the day, and when she came back in the afternoon, Tess had prepared dinner for her. She read a book on the sofa for a while, then went back to her room to do her homework, take a shower, do some exercise, and then go to bed.
The house was empty and a little deserted without Nian Siyan, but also quiet. Lan Shuang was quite used to living there, but she didn't know if Nian Siyan was used to living outside.
She thought about sending a message to Nian Siyan to ask, but Nian Siyan didn't contact her actively. Maybe he still hadn't let it go?
Thinking of this, Lan Shuang gave up and only occasionally stared at the dining table in a daze.
On Friday, Lan Shuang went home from school as usual. After eating and taking a shower, she did some homework upstairs. Feeling a little sleepy, she lay down on the table and took a nap. She slept until after nine o'clock.
She stood up drowsily and yawned. "It's true that using your brain too much makes you sleepy."
She went downstairs to make herself a cup of refreshing juice. It was pitch black downstairs, but the lights on the first floor suddenly lit up when they sensed someone coming out.
Lan Shuang was caught off guard and made eye contact with the person who tiptoed in.
Nian Siyan: “…”
Lan Shuang: “…”
The scene was so embarrassing that it made people dig their toes into the ground.
A thought suddenly flashed through Lan Shuang's mind, "Xiao Baba, Nian Siyan wouldn't come back so quietly every night, right?"
888: “…”
How did you know???
He didn't answer out of guilt, and Lan Shuang didn't care. Her attention was on Nian Siyan, and she wanted to see how he would explain.
Nian Siyan slowly retracted his foot, stood beside the sofa, and greeted Lan Shuang calmly: "Good evening."
Lan Shuang suddenly felt less embarrassed. She leaned over the railing on the second floor, looked at Nian Siyan, and asked with a smile, "Good evening. Have you finished your business with the Admiral? Are you coming back to sleep tonight?"
Nian Siyan nodded: "Well, it's done. I'll stay here tonight."
"Oh, have you eaten yet? Do you want Tess to prepare dinner for you?"
Nian Siyan was stunned by her enthusiasm and felt a little overwhelmed. "I'll ask Tess to prepare it. What are you going downstairs for?"
Lan Shuang walked downstairs, "Oh, I want to drink some juice to refresh myself."
Tess came out from the corner, her eyes lit up when she saw Nian Siyan, and she immediately sold him out, "Admiral, you came back an hour earlier today than yesterday. Welcome home."
Nian Siyan: “…”
Lan Shuang: “…”
Her eyes fell subtly on Nian Siyan's face.
The villa fell into deathly silence again.
Nian Siyan wished he had never appeared.
"puff--"
Lan Shuang couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing, jokingly saying, "Ah, so the Admiral came back yesterday? Then why did he leave without saying hello?"
Tess: "Admiral, wuwuwuwu——"
Nian Siyan covered her voice hole with his hand and turned off the power.
Tess: “…”
Do you dare to feel guilty anymore?
Lan Shuang leaned on the railing and laughed so hard that she bent over. Nian Siyan was helpless and turned his head away. He also felt that he was a bit stupid and laughed softly.
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Tess is a little tired, I'll let her rest. If you want some juice, I'll squeeze it for you."
The topic changed quickly, but Lan Shuang didn't insist on it anymore. Sometimes it's not good for both of them to know everything too clearly.
Window paper looks better when it is hazy.
"The Admiral can also make juice?" Lan Shuang walked down the stairs curiously and watched him enter the kitchen.
Nian Siyan was wearing a white shirt, his tie was casually thrown aside, and two buttons on his collar were unbuttoned. He looked uninhibited and indulgent, which was very different from his usual serious and restrained appearance.
His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing a piece of wheat-colored skin. As he moved, the light blue veins were faintly visible under his skin, and the lines were smooth and powerful.
Nian Siyan took out a fresh orange from the refrigerator and asked Lan Shuang, "How about orange juice?"
"Sure." Lan Shuang leaned against the door and looked at him. Nian Siyan thought for a moment, then took out a fist-sized new variety of orange from the refrigerator and threw it to her: "Try it."
Lan Shuang raised her hand and caught it steadily, raising an eyebrow at Nian Siyan. Nian Siyan curled his lips and said, "You have good skills."
"Thank you very much." Lan Shuang smelled the rich orange scent as soon as she peeled the orange peel, and her spirits were immediately lifted.
Nian Siyan slowly pulled out a knife, scratched the orange a few times, and gently peeled the orange flesh out intact. He whispered, "I live alone and will do it myself when I have nothing to do, so don't underestimate me."
He took the knife and made a flower in his hand, and the orange was immediately divided into eight pieces and fell into the juicer, followed by the second, the third, and a total of four oranges were used.
The oranges grown by the Federation are as big as two fists, and four of them can make a whole pot of juice.
The juicer operates very quietly, and the orange flesh is instantly crushed into bright orange juice.
The juicer has its own filter, so you can pour it out and drink it.
Nian Siyan walked to the door holding the juice jug and raised it to Lan Shuang, "Come and drink."
Lan Shuang smiled: "Okay."
Nian Siyan poured a glass for each of them, and the two of them sat face to face on the sofa drinking orange juice, without saying a word for a while, each with their own thoughts.
