Ni Sitian's thought was that Xu Tingchuan should go to the gym to release his excess energy so that he wouldn't toss and turn in bed so many times.
So she nodded in affirmation, which led him to do another 'push-up' on her, until she was so exhausted that she fell into a deep sleep.
At six o'clock in the morning, while she was still sound asleep, her phone rang loudly.
She was woken up, frowned slightly, and without even opening her eyes, reached out and touched the bedside table.
Ni Sitian reached for her phone, swiped to answer, and lazily replied with a "hello."
Suppressed sobs came from the other end. Ni Sitian was still groggy, and it took her a while to come to her senses and realize that someone was crying.
She opened her eyes and saw that the phone had come from Ni Tianzhen. It must have been past midnight on her end, so why was she calling?
"Sister, what happened?" Ni Sitian was fully awake. She removed Xu Tingchuan's arm from around her waist, got out of bed quietly, and went out to answer the phone so as not to wake him.
The sobbing continued for quite a while before gradually subsiding.
Ni Sitian had already roughly guessed what was going on, so she waited quietly for Ni Tianzhen to ask.
Sure enough, Ni Tianzhen's first words after slowly calming down were: "You know about him, right? That's what you wanted to tell me that day, wasn't it?"
Ni Sitian knew that this matter couldn't be kept secret. Ni Tianzhen and Li Shaoan had been together for seven years, and their social circles had permeated each other in every way. Such a big thing wouldn't have been kept secret.
“Yeah, I just found out that day too. I was so shocked that I didn’t know whether I should tell you.” She pursed her lips and said, “He said he didn’t want you to see him like this now. He wanted the last thing you would remember about him was his handsome appearance from before.”
After hearing this, Ni Tianzhen couldn't help but sob again. She had been learning to forget her failed marriage and him during her time abroad, but why did this suddenly happen? How could she start a new life in peace? How could she forget him?
When she overheard the news from an acquaintance, she couldn't believe it at all, thinking he was deliberately playing the victim to trick her into coming back. But remembering the strange things that happened during her video call with Sitian a few days ago, she vaguely felt that it was true, so she called Sitian to confirm.
"How long has this been going on?" Ni Tianzhen took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
“It was discovered more than two months ago, and now…” Ni Sitian bit her lip and sighed, “There is no longer any need for treatment.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end, as if even breathing had stopped. She couldn't help but feel worried and called out softly, "Sister, are you... are you coming back?"
According to what Li Shaoan said before, he probably doesn't have much time left. If Ni Tianzhen doesn't come back immediately, he might not even get to see her one last time.
In just a few months, so much love and hate has been involved. It's true that matters of the heart are the most complicated and complex, with countless threads that are impossible to untangle.
After Ni Sitian asked this question, she did not receive a reply from Ni Tianzhen. After a long while, Ni Tianzhen said in a hoarse voice, "It's still early morning where you are. You should rest."
“Sister…” Ni Sitian didn’t know what to say.
