They walked a certain distance, neither of them speaking.
But the reasons for not speaking were different.
Shi Nuan was hesitating about how to start the conversation, while Song Yansheng felt that at this moment, time was serene and good; with her by his side, even silence didn’t matter.
Silence speaks louder than words, as the saying goes.
However, later, someone broke the silence, it was Shi Nuan. free\we\bnov(e)(l).com
Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, I need to go out this afternoon!"
Song Yansheng’s eyes flickered, his thin lips moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the girl’s soft and beautiful profile.
He asked, "What’s up?"
"I want to go back to school to get something!"
Shi Nuan was already in her fourth year, with only two months away from graduation. At this time, except for those whose homes were not in this city, most people were no longer staying in the dormitory.
And as Song Yansheng knew, there were three locals from T City, including Shi Nuan herself, and one from out of town still occupying Shi Nuan’s dormitory.
Before moving here, Shi Nuan and that girl were staying at the school and preparing their graduation thesis.
Song Yansheng said, "Okay, I will arrange a car for you later!"
Shi Nuan responded, "Thank you, Second Uncle!"
Song Yansheng said nothing more, his expression more indifferent than the gentle and serene one from earlier.
She called him "Second Uncle," which was intimate, yet now, with her status changed, calling him still that way felt more like an accusation.
It was as if constantly reminding him: he, Song Yansheng, had occupied his nephew’s fiancée...
After that, the two remained silent until they returned to the main building’s living room.
Aunt Hui, accompanied by two servants, was already waiting there. Seeing them, she respectfully said, "Mr., Lady, lunch is ready!"
Song Yansheng nodded and then said to Shi Nuan, "You go ahead, I’ll wash my hands!"
Shi Nuan responded, obediently being led over by a servant.
It was only after her figure disappeared that Song Yansheng instructed Aunt Hui, "Notify Old Zhang, I’ll give him the afternoon off today!"
Aunt Hui didn’t understand why but still nodded, saying, "Alright, Mr.!"
After washing his hands, Song Yansheng entered the dining room and found Shi Nuan sitting in her seat, only drinking a few sips of juice lightly, not eating.
He raised an eyebrow and sat down opposite her, "Waiting for me?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, she said, "Eating alone is quite boring!"
Not wanting to say anything too distant, saying it was perhaps appropriate.
Sure enough, Song Yansheng smiled and said, "No worries, with me here, you’ll never be bored again in the future!"
Shi Nuan said nothing more, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating, personally, not wanting to trouble the man opposite.
Thinking about the "tissue" incident in the morning, she blushed slightly.
Today’s meal was all vegetarian, and for this meal, the chefs at the Song Mansion racked their brains.
Plus, pairing such vegetarian meals for three meals a day, needing to do it for over forty days without severe repetition, truly puzzled the two chefs.
Nonetheless, this meal was quite satisfying for both Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng.
After the meal, Shi Nuan didn’t intend to rest. She said she was going upstairs to change clothes and would head back to school immediately, as there was a lot of stuff to pack, which would take up time.
Always using the excuse of having too much stuff!
Yet Song Yansheng didn’t expose her, just smiling faintly and agreeing.
When Shi Nuan went upstairs to her room to change, he sat alone downstairs on the sofa, sipping tea leisurely.
About ten minutes later, Shi Nuan came downstairs, saying, "I’m ready!"
