In the few seconds of waiting for the door to open, many things flashed through Song Yansheng’s mind, but they were all jumbled, unable to form a complete picture.
Then, the sound of the door lock turning came.
A girl in a black dress stood at the door, her eyes clear and with a hint of surprise as she looked at him.
"Are you all packed up?" he asked gently.
Shi Nuan nodded, "Almost..."
"Not much stuff, I can manage on my own..."
After saying that, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Because it seemed like in the afternoon, she had just mentioned having a lot of stuff and even asked him to specially prepare a room for her...
Yet, Song Yansheng still nodded warmly and said, "Mind if I take a look inside?"
This is his house, this home is his, does he really need her permission to enter?
Shi Nuan stepped aside and said, "Please, come in!"
Song Yansheng folded his hands behind his back, looking laid-back and composed, as he stepped inside.
Shi Nuan felt he looked like a leader coming in for an inspection.
There were many things in the boxes that Shi Nuan hadn’t had time to unpack, only a few clothes temporarily placed in the wardrobe.
She just noticed that there were already many clothes in the wardrobe, all new, couldn’t believe he had gotten so many so quickly.
It included even underwear and bras...
Shi Nuan’s own clothes were simply placed in a compartment, all folded neatly.
The rest were her mother’s books.
Actually, not that many; her mother loved reading, but didn’t leave many books to Shi Nuan, most were in Father Shi Yuanbo’s study, and she couldn’t take those things with her.
The bookshelf is large enough, so inevitably there are many empty spaces, but Shi Nuan doesn’t think it’s a waste, she still has many books at school and can buy many books in the future, all of them can be placed there...
Thinking this way, Shi Nuan felt surprised, the future... does she even have a future?
It seems, like, no...
Song Yansheng also noticed the bookshelf, chuckling, "Looks like you won’t need to borrow the bookshelves from my study!"
Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say and just said, "Thanks!"
"Thank what? Between you and me, there’s no need for thanks!"
Shi Nuan didn’t say anything, just walked to the bookshelf, and started arranging those books again, Song Yansheng did not go to help.
Now, she seems to resist others touching her things, maybe this "others" also includes him!
"In three days, Xiao Chuan’s mourning period ends, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together to get the certificate..." Song Yansheng spoke again.
Shi Nuan paused in her actions of placing books, then just said "Oh," without further words.
"You will graduate in July this year, now is the time to prepare your thesis, but don’t worry too much, the first defense is said to be in early May, you might not make it, you can join the second defense at the end of May, there is still a month’s time, you can stay at the Song Mansion and calmly prepare your thesis, whatever materials and references you need, just let me know, I’ll have someone send them to you!"
Shi Nuan said again, her voice still calm.
Song Yansheng looked at the girl’s thin and frail figure, asked, "So, is there anything you would like to say to me?"
Shi Nuan just placed a book on the shelf, when turning her face, she could see a photo on the side shelf.
In the photo, the man wore a light gray lounge outfit, standing by a floor-to-ceiling window, hands in pockets.
The corners of his mouth carried a faint smile, and his eyes were deep, looking at the camera very focused, like looking at a woman he loves deeply...
Shi Nuan wondered if the photo was taken by that woman he loves in his heart.
Not hearing her answer, Song Yansheng asked.
Shi Nuan withdrew her gaze from the photo and softly said, "I want to go through Xiao Chuan Shouqi!"
