* The nanny car on the main road slowly drove down from the viaduct.

The number of people passing by the two roads gradually decreased.

At the next intersection.

The nanny car was replaced with a Rolls-Royce, and the little flying goddess statue in front of the shiny car body was bathed in the night as it drove towards the main residence of the Shi family.

The driver wearing white gloves was driving intently.

Back seat.

The white cat looked very cute. It stood up, stretched out a chubby, furry front paw, and happily fiddled with a rope.

The end of the rope is connected to the collar of a black sweatshirt, and further up is a man's cold white neck. The smooth lines climb all the way up, and then rise and fall for a moment, passing by the sexy Adam's apple that bulges like an ice cube.

Shi Yan's long eyelashes drooped, revealing a cold silhouette. He just leaned back in his chair, letting the cat mess with the drawstring at the collar of his sweatshirt without paying any attention.

He looked like he was in a very good mood.

It was completely different from the dull feeling in the nanny car when we just came out of the underground parking lot.

His dark eyes turned sideways, his gaze falling on the person next to him.

Because of that hug.

Sheng Yuan's low bun was a little loose, so she simply untied the hair tie, letting her long hair fall on her shoulders like a waterfall.

It makes the lively little face look even smaller and the whole person look slimmer.

A clear bell sounded.

She picked up the cat toy and shook it twice, her wrist slender and white.

The white cat, who was still playing with the string of his sweatshirt, was instantly attracted to it.

Then Lai Lai was so amused that she turned around in a circle.

Sheng Yuan chuckled and raised her head, looking at Shi Yan with her curved almond-shaped eyes.

Share your cat's silly moments with him.

Like saying.

Look, this is interesting.

The other party responded with a nice smile on his lips.

* About 30 minutes’ journey.

The Rolls-Royce drove into the grand iron gate of the owner's house and then stopped in front of the brightly lit hallway.

The driver got out and opened the door.

The night is quiet and you can still hear the sound of flowing fountains.

Sheng Yuan stood in front of the car and was about to raise her hand to say goodbye to Shi Yan.

"Young Master——"

A servant ran out in a hurry.

Seeing Shi Yan, he quickly spoke.

"I was just about to arrange for someone to pick you up, I hope you come back."

"Mr. Shi suddenly felt unwell in the evening, and the doctor is examining him inside now."

“…”

The Rolls-Royce driver returned to the driver's seat.

The car didn't move.

As soon as the servant finished speaking, the eldest lady accompanied the young master of the Shi family in and asked him to wait here.

* When Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan arrived at the old man's bedroom of the Shi family, the room was already full of people.

Shi's father, Shi's mother, and Shi Xuan were all there, gathering around the bed.

The doctor, who was wearing casual clothes, took off his stethoscope and put it in the glove box. He said in a relaxed and soothing tone, "Mr. Shi is fine. He just has a slight cold. The weather has turned cooler recently. Just keep warm and avoid the wind."

The doctor finished.

Father Shi: "Dad, I told you to put on more clothes when you exercise in the morning—"

Old Master Shi, who was leaning on the pillow, had white hair on his temples, but he was still in good spirits. He looked indifferent and waved his hand: "You are making a fuss out of nothing."

then.

He looked through the gaps between the people and suddenly said, "Xiao Yan is here."

Everyone turned around and looked.

Shi Xuan glanced sideways, his breathing almost choked instantly, his whole body stiffened, and his deep eyes were fixed on Sheng Yuan beside Shi Yan.

When he saw Sheng Yuan appear, Old Man Shi was also a little surprised.

The face that had always been serious just now showed a kind smile.

"Hey, Xiao Yuan is here too."

"Grandpa Shi."

Sheng Yuan took a few steps forward and greeted him: "I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came in to see you."

Mr. Shi waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, old man, I just can't stand the wind."

Sheng Yuan: "Then you should take care of your health."

Stayed for a while.

Old Master Shi liked quietness and didn't want the younger generations to bother hanging around him, so he asked them to leave.

"Okay, let's all go back. It's getting late. Go and have some rest."

Shi's father and mother were the first to leave the room. They had been resting in the room when they suddenly heard the servant say that Old Man Shi had a cough. They hurriedly put on their clothes and went downstairs.

"Let's go."

Shi Yan took Sheng Yuan's hand.

Since coming in.

This was the first sentence Shi Yan said. Although he came here because Grandpa Shi was ill, he never said a word to Grandpa Shi. He was just like an ordinary grandson who would greet his grandfather with a concerned or worried tone.

He didn't even come near the bed, his dark eyes were emotionless.

Even though Old Man Shi had spoken first, Shi Yan's expression remained calm and composed.

* The hallway was filled with cool night light.

"Young Master, this is what you wanted."

"It's clean and has never been used."

The servant brought up a light-colored shawl with both hands.

Under Sheng Yuan's slightly puzzled eyes, Shi Yan spread out his shawl, then put his arms around her and covered her shoulders with the shawl.

The wrapped hair was also taken out.

Sheng Yuan was stunned for two seconds, then curved her eyes and said, "Thank you."

Feel the softness and warmth of the shawl.

"Shi Yan, I'm leaving."

I was about to leave, but my body couldn't move.

Shi Yan's hands holding the shawl had not yet loosened, so she couldn't move.

The man in dark sweatshirt and trousers lowered his eyes, and the girl's vivid and beautiful face was clearly reflected in his dark eyes.

He frowned slightly: "Good night."

This is not saying goodnight to Sheng Yuan.

Rather, it means to remind.

"Shi Yan, good night." She said with a sudden smile.

The hands that were holding the shawl finally loosened up with satisfaction and let her go.

"Good night."

He responded in a low, magnetic voice.

* Entrance hall side.

The tall man stood in the dark shadows.

Looking at the girl bending her lips and looking up at the person in front of her, she smiled softly, her beautiful almond eyes were defenseless and full of indulgence.

Shi Xuan's eyes turned red as he watched. His hands at his sides clenched tighter and tighter, and the sour feeling in his chest became more and more obvious.

Replay the scene just now in your mind.

In her grandfather's bedroom, she didn't look at herself once.

actually.

This isn't the first time

It has been like this since she woke up in the hospital a long, long time ago.

At first, Shi Xuan was not unresponsive, he just deliberately ignored the strange feeling. Until many times they met later, her coldness made the strange feeling turn into anxiety, accompanied by a sense of loss.

This feeling made Shi Xuan feel very annoyed.

Because he doesn't know the reason for this, he doesn't know why he is like this, and he is distressed or even angry because of it.

But at the same time, what he didn't want to admit was that he was allowing this feeling to spread.

Then, when the truth comes out.

This feeling finally had a source, an outlet, and it became legitimate. The feeling of loss increased exponentially, to the point of heartache.

then.

The heartache gradually turned into reluctance.

Someone who was once so close to me.

If he had known earlier, or if he had made his mind clear earlier...

They shouldn't be like this now.

The person she looked up at could not be anyone else.

Shi Xuan was unwilling to accept this, he really was unwilling to accept this. How could he accept this?
