After standing there for a few seconds, Shi Nian went straight into the White Jade Palace.
...
Night fell.
After finishing her dinner, Shi Nian went upstairs.
She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
I should rest now.
Shi Nian told herself that she needed to get up early tomorrow.
Qin Yajing has an event tomorrow that she needs to attend.
In the past few days, Qin Yajing has not participated in any activities and has even canceled some of her schedules.
But tomorrow will be different.
Tomorrow is an important awards ceremony, and Qin Yajing can't refuse it.
So as her assistant, she also needs to go to bed early and get up early to accompany Qin Yajing to the event tomorrow.
However, even though I kept telling myself that, I just couldn't fall asleep.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
And in my mind, Anya's incredibly beautiful face is always on display.
Anya's words always echoed in my ears.
Anya said she was going on a date with Zhan Xiuchen.
Even if you cover your eyes and ears, that face and those words will never fade away.
It was read aloud at the last minute.
She couldn't sleep and thought she'd go for a walk in the garden to clear her head.
As I walked out of the bedroom, I passed the full-length mirror and my gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of it.
Shi Nian saw herself in the mirror.
She stopped and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
She's gained a little weight since she came here.
He is no longer as thin as before.
Her complexion has improved a lot.
Her complexion was originally sallow and bloodless.
But now her face is much fuller, and she has the rosy glow that a girl her age should have.
And her hair.
Shi Nian remembers that her hair used to be like straw.
Withered and yellow.
So when she read novels describing the heroine's hair as smooth as seaweed, Shi Nian could never understand it.
But now, her hair is no longer yellow; it has turned black.
She instinctively touched it with her hand.
Although not as smooth as seaweed as described in the novel.
But suddenly I understood why the novel described people's hair in that way.
Looking at herself now, Shi Nian suddenly understood why Aunt Fen said she had become much prettier.
Indeed, she has changed quite a bit since she came here.
only.........
This improvement in appearance is only compared to one's former self.
An Ya's face inexplicably resurfaced in Shi Nian's mind.
Compared to Anya.
Without a doubt, she was far inferior.
This subconsciously stirred a subtle emotion in Shi Nian.
But soon, Shi Nian straightened her back again.
She is not as good-looking as Anya.
The background is not as good as Anya's.
But she shouldn't underestimate herself.
Just like Grandpa Shi said.
Even the smallest seed has its value and can yield golden grains of rice.
...
Later, Shi Nian went to the garden.
As soon as I sat down on the bench, a hen flapped its wings and flew over.
This hen is becoming less and less afraid of people.
It actually flew directly into Shi Nian's arms.
Shi Nian: "........."
She saw a rooster lying lazily on the ground, sleeping, not far away.
So the old hen is all alone?
Did you come to visit her?
Shi Nian chuckled.
She gently tapped the hen with her hand: "You really think of yourself as a pet? I'll slaughter you and eat you one day. Tell me, should I braise you or make soup?"
The old hen immediately pecked at Shi Nian's palm, seemingly displeased.
Shi Nian stroked the old hen's wing again: "I won't kill you. I was just kidding. If I kill you, no one will talk to me anymore."
It's really unbelievable.
The old hen seemed to understand human speech. It immediately stopped pecking at Shi Nian and instead stared at him with its eyes, as if trying to see what he wanted to talk to her about.
Shi Nian: "........."
Chickens are not human.
It can't understand what people are saying.
And it is precisely because of this that Shi Nian is able to "speak freely".
She said softly, "You know, Zhan Xiuchen is going on a date with a rich young lady named Anya. She's very beautiful, hmm."
After a pause, Shi Nian continued, "Although I don't know her exact background, I do know that she is a young lady from a wealthy family, and her background matches Zhan Xiuchen's very well, so they are a good match, right?"
The old hen still stared at Shi Nian with her bright, round eyes.
It cannot answer when it is recited.
If you can answer that, then you're not just a hen, you're a hen that has become a spirit.
The old hen didn't answer, but Shi Nian answered for her, saying, "They are indeed a good match, but why am I sad? I'm just a tool, what's there to be sad about?"
"Or do I really believe I'm Zhan Xiuchen's wife? Although I'm going to marry him, it's just an exchange of interests, not an exchange of feelings. So why should I have a reaction when he goes on dates with women who are his equals?"
The hen suddenly clucked twice.
He sighed frequently.
She said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand, but I guess you're also wondering why I'm sad? Why I have emotions?"
Shi Nian fell silent.
After waiting for a while, as if by some strange twist of fate, Zhan Xiuchen's words from that day resurfaced in his ears.
"Shi Nian, you have feelings for me, don't you?"
Shi Nianxin suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
She murmured, "Could it be that I really have feelings for him?"
This possibility suddenly made Shi Nian panic and feel helpless.
