Shi Wan's grandmother and her childhood friend grew up together. Even after they got married, they didn't live far apart. The two old ladies stayed close until later, when Li Zhaofeng married into a wealthy family and Shi Wan was born.
Shi Wan's grandmother took her to live in the countryside and never returned.
Later, when her grandmother was critically ill, the old lady went to visit once. After her grandmother passed away, the old lady gradually developed Alzheimer's disease and forgot everything.
"Wanwan, go in. This old woman has a poor memory. She's forgotten everyone but you and your grandmother."
Sometimes, he himself would forget things, yet he often talked about Shi Wan and her grandmother.
Shi Wan nodded and helped the old lady in.
Shen Siyan followed closely behind. He had more or less guessed the relationship among them.
Shi Wan chatted with the old lady for a while. She didn't take Shen Siyan back until it was time for the old lady to rest.
"Does this count as meeting the parents?" she suddenly asked.
"Yes." He took her hand. "Sweetheart, where else do you want to go?"
"Let's go home."
Shen Siyan did as she wished. It was a night market after all. The later it got, the more people there were.
It took them a while to squeeze out of the crowd. Then he bent down and picked her up. "You must be tired after a whole day of playing, right?"
She nodded. "I have to go to school again tomorrow. I can only visit Li Si's mother some other day."
"Okay."
After coaxing her to sleep, Shen Siyan tiptoed out of the bedroom.
"What's up?"
Back in the study, the man sat on the chair with his long legs casually crossed. His voice was cold, and his aura suddenly changed.
"Sir, Shen Jiao has escaped, but now she's been controlled by our people. Do we need to..."
Feng Tong thought to himself: This is the familiar Sir.
On normal days, he didn't seem like himself at all.
"No need to control her. Let her go."
"Yes."
Feng Tong couldn't figure out what the man was up to, but he knew that the Sir's order must have its reasons.
"Also, after letting her go, keep an eye on all the strangers around the little madam. Stay vigilant at all times. If there's any loss, you'll be held accountable."
"Understood!"
The man's cold voice made Feng Tong's heart tremble.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Siyan turned on the computer. The surveillance video showed Shen Jiao's escape.
Shen Tianhong was going to be in for a big surprise.
...
"Sweetheart, a goodbye kiss."
The next morning, the car stopped at the school gate. The man naturally leaned in, his eyes smiling.
Shi Wan paused in the act of opening the door. She said leisurely, "Good - morning kiss, good - afternoon kiss, goodbye kiss, good - night kiss. What other kinds of kisses can you come up with?"
"There's also kissing whenever and wherever I want..."
"Stop it." Shi Wan was defeated by his cheekiness.
"You're so good."
As he leaned in, the man pressed her into his arms and kissed her before letting her go.
Shi Wan scolded, "If you keep this up, I won't be able to go to class."
"Then let's just go home. I'll tutor you myself."
"Huh?"
He reached out and stroked the top of her hair. "Don't underestimate your husband. If we really count, you're still my junior at primary school."
Shi Wan didn't doubt it at all. This man was indeed very smart.
"I won't talk to you. I'm leaving."
"Okay. Call me when class is over."
"Got it."
In college, most of the time students study and memorize on their own. Even in the medical department, there are few opportunities for hands - on operations. The library is always full of people every day. You can even see students reading on the roadside.
When Shi Wan was almost at the dormitory, not far away, Zheng Zhi was standing with a few girls, chatting about something.
"Wanwan!"
Seeing her, Zheng Zhi immediately shook off the others and ran to her side.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Wan glanced at those women. One of them looked familiar. It was the woman who had approached her before.
"I..."
"Student Shi Wan, what a coincidence!"
"Not a coincidence."
Her straightforward words made the women's faces turn cold. They endured their temper and said, "Don't misunderstand. We just wanted to talk to student Zheng Zhi. There's no other meaning. Since you two have something to do, we'll leave first."
After saying that, she gave Zheng Zhi a meaningful look.
"What's going on? Did they bully you?"
Judging from the situation just now, it didn't seem like they were just chatting. Instead...
"No..."
Her eyes flickered. "That's good then."
"Wanwan, there's an exam tomorrow. Can you help me review?"
"Sure. The library should be full now. Let's go somewhere else."
Zheng Zhi nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
After class, after helping Zheng Zhi review, they agreed to go for dinner together. Shi Wan sat in the pavilion waiting.
"Student Shi Wan."
Shi Wan opened her eyes. Xie Zhe's handsome face appeared in front of her.
"Senior."
"Are you alone here?"
"No, I'm waiting for someone." After a pause, she said, "Senior, have you been on campus recently?"
"Mostly, unless something unexpected happens." Xie Zhe sat down not far from her. "Do you need something?"
"Can you help me keep an eye on someone?"
The scene she saw just now made her feel something was off the more she thought about it.
"Tell me."
When Zheng Zhi came over, she was a little surprised to see Xie Zhe there.
She greeted obediently, "Senior."
"Junior Zheng Zhi."
Xie Zhe stood up, his smile as gentle as the spring breeze.
"Let's go for dinner together?"
Zheng Zhi looked at Shi Wan. Shi Wan got up. "Let's go."
Since Shi Wan didn't object, she naturally had no opinion.
Shen Siyan arrived outside their school on time. When he saw her coming, the coldness in his eyes faded. He got out of the car.
"Sweetheart... They..."
Seeing the two people following behind her, he frowned.
"They're going to have dinner with us too."
As if she didn't see the expression on his face, Shi Wan bypassed him and got into the car.
Shen Siyan: "..."
Two light bulbs!
He thought it was just going to be the two of them when she sent him the message.
Soon, the four of them sat together, looking at each other. Except for Shi Wan, the other two wished they had never come.
It felt like they were just there to watch the couple show their affection.
"What? Is the food not to your taste?"
"No, it's delicious." Xie Zhe smiled. "Junior Zheng Zhi, right?"
"...Yes."
The only drawback was that the couple could stop showing their affection.
Although it was only Shen Siyan who was secretly showing his affection, and Shi Wan was completely unaware.
The way they got along was so natural, as if they had done it thousands of times. If it wasn't intentional, then it must be!
The two of them didn't eat much before they felt full.
Shen Siyan kept putting food on her plate skillfully. "Do you want anything else?"
"No, you eat by yourself."
Shi Wan looked at the mountain of food in her bowl and said helplessly.
The man let out a grunt and silently cast a cold look at the two people opposite.
Fortunately, they didn't book a candle - lit dinner. Otherwise, the romance of the couple would have been ruined by two big light bulbs.
Zheng Zhi stiffened. Just as she was thinking about an excuse to leave, a figure suddenly blocked the man's sight.
Xie Zhe endured the fear in his heart. "Mr. Shen."
Hearing this, Shi Wan looked up and frowned. Shen Siyan retracted his sight.
"Eat."
He was just unhappy that there were two light bulbs on their date.
After dinner, Zheng Zhi fled in a hurry, afraid of staying for another second.
Xie Zhe greeted them and followed closely behind.
