[Sheng Tian 9] Temper
There was a moment of silence; Yan Sheng didn't dare look at her expression.
His lowered eyelashes and stiff back seemed to reveal his tension at that moment.
Fang Tiantian had no idea that Yan Sheng wanted to say this.
"How long?"
"How do we wait?"
"So you're saying I should wait for you, is that it?"
"Yan Sheng, why are you so timid?"
Fang Tiantian didn't understand why, when the two of them were simply having a relationship, Yan Sheng was always hesitant and avoided her words and glances.
"Sweet."
Yan Sheng's throat went dry from her questions, and he didn't even dare to breathe deeply, only exhaling long breaths.
"I can't right now."
…………
Fang Yue came to see him at the beginning of his freshman year.
At that time, Yan Sheng and Fang Tiantian spent an afternoon playing in the pet baking shop. That was the first time Yan Sheng mustered up the courage to take the initiative to approach her.
A few days later, the older brother came knocking on the door.
Fang Yue brought a bunch of things to congratulate him on being admitted to the Foreign Affairs College. Although he didn't say anything, the gifts he gave were all very valuable, and he even subtly mentioned that the Fang family had no shortage of money.
Yan Sheng understood perfectly well.
So he took the initiative to speak up.
"Brother Fang Yue, I won't hold Tian Tian back until we reach our goal."
That's exactly what Fang Yue wanted to hear.
Although he was quite satisfied with Yan Sheng, he knew that men tend to relax if they aren't pushed a little.
"Alright, since you understand, I won't say any more, but you should remember this sentence."
From that day on, Yan Sheng's courage shrank back.
It became the saw-mouthed gourd that Fang Tiantian mentioned.
…………
"Can't what?" Fang Tiantian asked, her eyes red, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
If it were someone else, they might say that if she met someone better, he would quietly withdraw from her life.
But Yan Sheng couldn't bring himself to say it. He was already trying his best to become a better person, but what he wanted and what he wanted to strive for couldn't be obtained all at once.
The winner who spoke eloquently in the debate can only admit defeat in silence now.
"Sweetie, I'd better head back now."
Watching his hurried departure, Fang Tiantian felt she had never hated Yan Sheng so much.
The moment the door closed, Fang Tiantian immediately went back to her room.
When Fang Yue arrived home, the meal was already laid out on the dining table.
"Where's Tian Tian? Tell her to come down for dinner."
The aunt looked somewhat embarrassed: "Miss said she's not hungry today."
"Not hungry?" Fang Yue frowned and looked over.
The aunt glanced at the stairs and whispered, "This afternoon, Miss and Mr. Yan seemed to have had a disagreement in the living room..."
Fang Yue paused for a moment, then said in a calm tone, "Make her a light late-night snack and bring it in tonight."
After Yan Sheng arrived home, he sat alone on the balcony for three hours.
After a long while, he took out his phone, stared blankly at the screen, and typed a few unimportant words.
"Xiaotian's medicine needs to be applied once at night."
Fang Tiantian cried her heart out in bed. When she heard her phone ring, she picked it up and, in a fit of anger, smashed it several meters away.
After calming down, wiping away her tears, she resignedly got up to apply medicine to Yan Xiaotian.
"Did I owe him something in my past life? Why does he bully me like this in this life? Waaah... I really hate Yan Sheng..."
Fang Tiantian applied medicine to the puppy while crying. Yan Xiaotian accidentally licked the tears that fell on the ground, and then looked up blankly at her crying owner.
Fang Tiantian nodded its head in an annoyed tone, her voice thick with nasal congestion: "Just like your dad, so dull."
Yan Sheng didn't get a reply to the message he sent. He had almost gotten used to this one-sided reporting feeling by now.
Fang Tiantian used to always have so much to say to him, but lately, he's become the one who wants to talk a lot.
One week later.
Fang Tiantian suddenly sent him a video call.
When Yan Sheng saw the video call invitation, he even happily tidied his hair.
After the call connected, all that could be seen on the other end of the screen was Yan Xiaotian wagging her tail.
"Little Sweetie is almost fully recovered. I chose her food online and then asked the aunt to make it for her."
The long-awaited video brought a smile to Yan Sheng's face.
"Sweetie, you've taken good care of it."
Yan Xiaotian, the dog, looked full of energy as she ate the fresh dog food prepared by the nanny. Upon hearing a familiar voice, she raised her head and looked around.
Fang Tiantian has recently gotten used to seeing the messages Yan Sheng sends her every day, but she doesn't want him to be too smug.
Seeing that Yan Sheng looked somewhat haggard on the screen, she held back from saying anything to show her concern.
"I'm going to eat."
"Eat if you want, or don't eat if you don't."
"goodbye!"
Despite her stiff tone, Yan Sheng knew she was almost calmer.
Before he could say another word, Fang Tiantian hung up the phone.
He glanced at the calendar and sent another message to Fang Tiantian.
"I'm going back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year tomorrow. There's not much signal there, so I probably won't be able to send any messages."
Fang Tiantian looked at the message he sent and silently complained.
"If you don't want to send it, fine, but you're telling me there's no signal? What era are we living in where cell phone signals are still nonexistent!"
"That stinky Yan Sheng, I won't talk to you when you get back!"
She casually tossed her newly purchased phone into the corner of the sofa, then sat down at the dining table in a huff, ladling a bowl of cordyceps flower and pigeon porridge into her own bowl before Fang Yue even came downstairs.
…………
Yan Sheng did indeed return to Luoxia Village with Yan Kui and Wei Yin to celebrate the New Year.
When he arrived home, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the newly built road at the entrance of the village and the signal still displayed on his phone.
Seeing her younger brother in a daze, Yan Kui quickly explained, "The road and the network that Wei Yinxiu built must have been moved from the town after the road was opened to traffic."
New Year's Day arrived quickly, and Yan Sheng wanted to call Fang Tiantian.
The sound rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Just as Yan Sheng was wondering whether he should call again, Fang Tiantian answered the call.
"Hello?"
Yan Sheng paused for two seconds: "Sweetie, are you spending the New Year abroad?"
"With my parents."
"Sweetie, Happy New Year."
Although there is a signal in Luoxia Village, there is still occasional static when making phone calls.
Fang Tiantian listened to the static-filled voice on the phone and asked again, "What?"
Yan Sheng said, "Happy New Year, Sweetie."
Fang Tiantian listened to his blessing, gave a proud "hmm," and said in a gentler tone, "Happy New Year."
Yan Sheng smiled again when he heard her reply.
"Sweetie, when are you coming back? It seems like school starts earlier here this year."
Fang Tiantian thought to herself, "Why should I tell you?" but she still spoke the truth.
"I don't know, it depends on how long my brother is going to stay."
"If you come back, can I see you and Xiaotian?"
"We'll see then, and see if I'm in a good mood."
She's almost gotten used to acting all high and mighty in front of Yan Sheng.
Anyway, Yan Sheng won't get angry. Since he likes to keep it to himself, then the young lady has plenty of temper to keep.
