【Sheng Tian 12】So what? Yan Sheng
Mid-April.
The black Audi always arrived at Fang's house twenty minutes in advance of the agreed time.
Fang Yue, wearing a shirt, stood by the window and saw Yan Sheng getting out of the car. He opened the window and leaned half his body out into the cold air.
Yan Sheng looked up and saw Fang Yue on the second floor, who was neither smiling nor frowning.
"You're here quite early today?"
It was a very ordinary sentence, but Yan Sheng felt inexplicably guilty.
"Brother Fang Yue."
"Coming to pick up Tian Tian again? You two seem to be getting along quite well lately."
Fang Yue smiled gently: "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just afraid you'd forgotten what you promised me."
The tone was quite pleasant, but it made Yan Sheng feel uneasy.
Of course he hadn't forgotten.
…………
When Fang Tiantian came downstairs, the second-floor windows had already been restored to their original state.
Seeing him looking up at something, Fang Tiantian quietly stood beside him and followed his gaze.
"Yan Sheng, what are you staring at my window for?"
Yan Sheng snapped out of his daze, reached out and patted the puppy she was holding, then changed the subject: "It's okay, let's go. Xiao Tian's checkup appointment is already made."
As Yan Sheng drove, looking at the well-behaved person and dog beside him, he no longer mentioned taking the puppy back. For now, this was the only excuse he could use to see Fang Tiantian.
After leaving the pet hospital, Fang Tiantian said she wanted to eat nuts on her way home, so Yan Sheng immediately turned around and headed to a nearby shopping mall.
Fang Tiantian stood in front of the nut shop, looking at everything and wanting to eat it all, so she simply asked the owner, "Do you have any shelled nuts?"
The proprietress walked over from behind and said with a smile, "Miss, we've just sold out of shelled ones today. We'll have to wait until tomorrow afternoon for more."
Fang Tiantian pouted and prepared to ask at another store.
Yan Sheng suddenly stood behind her and said seriously, "I'll peel it."
As he spoke, he took four or five bags of various kinds of nuts from the table, then turned to ask, "Which kind would you like to eat?"
Fang Tiantian opened her eyes wide and gently pointed to the yellow bag on his right: "Pecans."
Yan Sheng picked up a bag and went to the cashier to pay.
"Want to eat at my place? It's closer."
A very lame reason.
Fang Tiantian turned her head away, wanting to laugh but still pretending to be angry, leaving him with a round back of her head: "Whatever."
Shallow Bay.
Yan Sheng sat cross-legged at the table, carefully peeling various nuts with his tools. Fang Tiantian lay half-reclined on the small sofa, her long legs crossed, leisurely playing a match-3 game on her phone.
There were five or six nuts piled on the table next to her. Fang Tiantian picked one up without even looking up and threw it into her mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
The scene continued for nearly two hours before Fang Tiantian put down her phone, picked up a macadamia nut, and offered it to Yan Sheng's lips.
"The reward for peeling the shell."
The complex aroma of roasted nuts, infused with the fragrance of oil, lingered in Yan Sheng's nostrils, while a white fruit rested on his slender fingertip.
Yan Sheng looked at her with those hesitant eyes, his ears turning red, and then opened his mouth and ate it.
"Yan Sheng, I've decided to stop being angry with you."
Fang Tiantian squatted down next to him, resting her chin on her knees, and looked at him with a smile.
"Although you hurt me before, you've been trying to comfort me lately."
"The shells were peeled quite well today."
"So I've decided to generously forgive you."
Seeing that she was happy, Yan Sheng's mood improved as well. He leaned over to say something, but Fang Tiantian's phone rang.
Shh! It's my brother!
Fang Tiantian was a little nervous and pressed the call button.
Yan Xiaotian was sleeping in her bed. Apart from the intermittent sounds coming from the other end of the phone, the only other sound in the room was Fang Tiantian's muffled reply.
"oh."
"..."
"knew."
"Isn't it the same if you tell me the same thing?!"
It's unclear what Fang Yue said on the other end of the phone, but Fang Tiantian's question was rather loud.
Yan Sheng understood that Fang Yue wanted him to answer the phone.
"Let me hear it, Sweetie."
Fang Tiantian instinctively covered her phone, but after meeting Yan Sheng's heavy gaze, she reluctantly handed it over.
Midway through, I cleverly pressed the speakerphone button.
Ke Yansheng glanced at her briefly, then turned off the speaker.
Fang Tiantian frowned as she looked at him.
Yan Sheng avoided her gaze and got up to go to the balcony.
"Brother Fang Yue."
"I heard you're going abroad? For how many years?"
"At least three years."
Fang Yue chuckled softly on the other end of the line: "Okay, good luck. Is Tian Tian with you? Bring her back to me later..."
On such a cold day, Yan Sheng was only wearing a sweatshirt. He stood on the windswept balcony and took a phone call for almost ten minutes. Neither of them mentioned anything else, as if they were just having a casual chat.
When he returned, Yan Sheng's expression didn't seem to change much. He sat cross-legged at the table and started peeling nuts again.
Fang Tiantian became anxious: "Yan Sheng, what did my brother say to you?"
Did he say something unpleasant?
Tell me about it!
Yan Sheng gave a relatively gentle smile and said in a low voice, "Sweetie, Fang Yue just asked me a few questions. I'll take you home after I finish peeling them."
Fang Tiantian was extremely annoyed. She had finally managed to reconcile with Yan Sheng, but now it seemed like things had changed again.
"A lavish feast!"
"I don't want you to keep quiet and not say anything!"
"Can you all stop treating me like a child?!"
I hate it when you do this!
An eighteen-year-old girl has strong likes and dislikes and cannot bear being avoided by the person she likes time and time again.
Yan Sheng paused abruptly while peeling nuts, then quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands.
Their eyes met, and Yan Sheng said gently, "Sweetie."
"Brother Fang Yue didn't say anything, and I know what I'm doing."
Yan Sheng gradually looked closer to her, as if he had mustered up his courage, and said, "Sweetie, I will be studying abroad in my second year of university, and I will stay for at least three years. I may not be able to come back during that time."
“I just got this spot recently. Fang Yue just gave me some instructions on what to pay attention to after going abroad.”
Fang Tiantian didn't quite understand why Yan Sheng was so down because of going abroad.
"It's just going abroad. I travel abroad all the time."
"Now that you're abroad, does that mean we can't talk or meet anymore?"
Fang Tiantian didn't care at all whether Yan Sheng studied in China or abroad; to her, it was just a matter of a plane ticket.
"Sweetie, I'll be very busy when I go abroad."
Fang Tiantian grabbed his hoodie sleeve, as if she understood the meaning behind his words, and her usually expressive eyes were now faintly misty.
"so what?"
When Yan Sheng saw Fang Tiantian in this state, his mind and heart were in turmoil.
Fang Tiantian never expected this outcome.
The girl bit her full lower lip tightly, her expression a mixture of broken pride and stubborn tenderness, as she quietly looked at him.
Yan Sheng held his breath, but finally couldn't resist. His well-defined hands gently cupped her face, and a kiss lighter than a feather, like a cherry blossom petal falling on a spring night, was carefully placed on her forehead.
