But what is even harder is not seeing the person who lingers deeply in your memories for seven years.
At the beginning, I really didn’t think too much about it. Perhaps it was just repaying a kindness, coupled with that fleeting meeting in my youth, learning about her family’s affairs, and wanting to protect her. Let her grow up well.
He assigned this task to Qin Ran, who was in China. For the next several years, all the information he knew about her came from Qin Ran.
However, as the little girl from his memories gradually grew up, becoming cute, beautiful, and attractive.
He suddenly felt a bit of fear, and somehow his feelings started to change at that time.
Although he wanted to know about her, he began to restrict Qin Ran from looking for her...
Even though there was nothing he could do about it from abroad if Qin Ran went to find her.
He grew anxious and cautious, every cold and lonely midnight, holding the photos Qin Ran had given him over the years, feeling lost...
He deeply missed her, missing someone who had long discarded him in the depths of memory...
That longing crashed wildly within his body, mercilessly devouring his mind and soul...
When one night she quietly appeared as in a dream, and he held her tightly in his arms in the dream, not wanting to let go even if he could embed her into his body...
He finally understood what kind of feelings he truly had for her...
At this moment, her breathing was quiet, and she slept peacefully on his shoulder...
This was an experience he hadn’t dared to envision many years ago, feeling like a dream...
He gently reached out and held her hand, his fingers slowly intertwining and clinging with her slender white fingers, tightly gripping them.
He said in his heart—
Nuannuan, you see, actually we can have such a peaceful and beautiful afternoon, right?
Thus, wanting to spend a lifetime with you doesn’t seem so hard, right?
Only when the car was almost at the gates of T University did Shi Nuan furrow her brow and wake up.
Perhaps just waking up, she did not immediately react, not moving away from leaning on Song Yansheng’s shoulder, instead rubbing her eyes and instinctively asking, "Second Uncle, have we arrived?"
Song Yansheng chuckled lightly, reaching out to tap her slightly upturned little nose, saying, "We’ve arrived, little sleepyhead~~"
Only then did Shi Nuan realize, and after a brief pause, she quickly sat up straight.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, her face redder than imaginable.
Song Yansheng helped tidy her slightly messy long hair and said with a smile, "Falling asleep on your own husband’s shoulder, nothing to be embarrassed about... Why shy?"
"..." Shi Nuan was even more at a loss for words!
"We’re almost at the school. Do you want me to take you inside?"
It was a Saturday, no classes, and not many students were in school.
Walking from the school gate to the dormitory takes quite a while, and seeing Shi Nuan indeed looked very tired, he didn’t want her to walk too far and get more exhausted, hence the suggestion.
But Shi Nuan shook her head, "No need, I can walk myself just fine..."
Song Yansheng didn’t argue with her, nodded gently, and said, "Alright!"
At the same spot, the car stopped. Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, goodbye!"
Song Yansheng nodded gently, gave some final advice, and then let Shi Nuan get out of the car.
As the car door closed, Shi Nuan waved her hand, turned around, and walked away, her steps rather quick.
Watching as Song Yansheng kept his gaze on Shi Nuan’s back, the driver didn’t start the car immediately, not until Shi Nuan had entered the school gate and her figure had completely disappeared.
He then calmly instructed the driver, "Drive now!"
