This was the first morning that Sheng Yuan was woken up here.

Normally, she would always wake up naturally according to her biological clock, and Shi Yan would calculate the time to prepare breakfast so that Sheng Yuan could go downstairs to eat directly after washing up.

"It's already ten o'clock, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Shi Yan half-knelt beside the bed, gently holding Sheng Yuan's hand, and asked her whether she wanted to get up for breakfast or continue sleeping.

"Have breakfast."

Sheng Yuan said this, but she still lay on the soft pillow with no intention of getting up. She stretched out her hand from the quilt, then opened it towards Shi Yan, looking at Shi Yan with her pair of almond-shaped eyes without saying a word.

After a second's pause, Shi Yan understood.

He stood up and half bent down, took Sheng Yuan's slender wrist and put it on his shoulder so that she could hug his neck. Then he put his hand down to hold her waist, lifted her up from the bed, and held her easily against his body.

Shi Yan held Sheng Yuan's slippers in his other hand and carried her to the bathroom. After she put on her shoes, he handed her the cup and a toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed in it.

It was inconvenient for Sheng Yuan to wear her hair down, so Shi Yan took out a hair tie of Sheng Yuan that he had collected from the pocket of his gray sweatpants, stood behind Sheng Yuan, and helped her tie up her hair with an unskilled and even slightly clumsy method.

As if he was afraid of hurting her, he moved very gently.

While brushing her teeth, Sheng Yuan kept looking at Shi Yan and thought he was very cute. After his hair was tied up, Sheng Yuan smiled at his expectant gaze and said he was so awesome.

When Shi Yan went downstairs, he received a phone call.

At the dining table.

The cell phone was placed on the table with the speakerphone function turned on. Shi Yan was peeling boiled eggs for Sheng Yuan while answering the call.

Even through the screen, I could feel that the person on the other end of the phone was a chatterbox.

"Just a meal together, Ah Yan, really just a meal. We have been back for so many days, and you said we haven't even sat together to have a meal yet."

"Just think of it as a celebration for Xunzi getting all those shameless parasites out of Fu Jie's mother's family."

"Ayan, aren't you happy for Xunzi?"

“…”

On average, every sentence contains "Ayan."

Shi Yan seemed more interested in peeling eggs for Sheng Yuan.

Silence for three seconds.

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly said something without warning.

"Hello, Miss Sheng, hello, I am A Yan's friend, my name is Xiao Jingyu."

Shi Yan paused.

Sheng Yuan, who was called out, responded politely: "Hello."

As if because he was right about Shi Yan being with Sheng Yuan, Xiao Jingyu cleared his throat, suppressed his laughter, and then his tone became serious as he invited Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan to have a simple meal together.

"Don't worry, Miss Sheng. There are no outsiders. It's just me, my brother, and Fu Xun. The address is at the old house of the Fu family. A Yan knows it."

Xiao Jingyu was polite and enthusiastic. After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for Sheng Yuan's wishes.

Shi Yan looked at Sheng Yuan, and the meaning was very clear: he would listen to her.

"OK."

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Sheng Yuan agreed.

Xiao Jingyu said yes and asked, "So, Ah Yan, you?"

Shi Yan: “What time?”

Xiao Jingyu answered hurriedly, as if afraid that Shi Yan would go back on his word, and his tone was excited: "Six o'clock, six o'clock." - Half past five.

A car appeared in front of Fu's house.

Led by the servant, Shi Yan held Sheng Yuan's hand and walked inside.

Sheng Yuan looked a little surprised that there was such a completely Chinese-style building in a foreign country, and it looked like it was quite old.
