When it ca to food, initially, Shen Zuimo didn't have many choices.
As long as it looked pleasing, wasn't disgusting, and the taste was okay to fill the stomach, it would do…
However, after Ye Xiaofan appeared in her life, this aspect underwent a monuntal change.
She never imagined that an ordinary-looking hot pot could taste so delicious, a crab could be so tasty, or a shrimp could be so flavorful.
Even a bowl of rice could linger in her mory.
During the ti after taking the antidote, Shen Zuimo had also asked her brother to bring back a lot of famous delicacies from a hotel in Kyoto.
They tasted good and were flavorful, but... they just didn't have that initial feeling anymore.
Today, on the fifty-fifth day.
Shen Zuimo found this ring in the drawer.
This ring was placed inside a cake by Xiaofan when preparing it for her.
This is a ring with no further explanation. He gives a ring but says nothing. What is this supposed to an?
Because of this ring, Shen Zuimo was reminded of sitting together with everyone for a al back then.
Turns out, she was always wrong.
Food isn't just about it being delicious; it matters who you eat it with.
When a group of people sit together, taking turns grabbing the food, drinking beer in big gulps, that kind of joyous feeling can't always be replaced.
*Creak…*
She found the main door key in the potted plant beside her and opened the door, walking inside.
At the sa ti, Li San and others, also waiting in the sa house, looked expectantly towards the door.
They all thought that guy had finally returned on the last day of the deadline.
One by one, they stood up, just waiting for that guy to say, 'Hey, brothers,' and then they would all pounce.
But it wasn't him. It was just the woman he dearly loved…
They looked at each other without speaking, maintaining a mutual silence.
Li San and the others quietly sat back down, and Li Kuo glanced at the ti anxiously. Only three hours left, and the sky was about to darken.
Shen Zuimo didn't say anything to them either… quietly walked towards Xiaofan's room, went in, and closed the door.
Here, nothing had changed since the last ti she ca.
It was here that she was held by him for an entire night…
Here, she finally experienced her deepest reliance on him…
And it was here that she stabbed him…
Thinking of his tenderness, a hint of warmth and longing unconsciously appeared on her face. On the bed, his indulgence and care for her seed still vivid in her mory.
And recalling that stab, why could she bring herself to do it? Why couldn't she fully trust him?
Frustration, regret…
She lay softly on the bed. Shen Zuimo tried every way to feel his presence again. However, her delicate nose could only catch the faint scent of jasmine-scented detergent.
That night, lying in his arms, being held like that, sleeping deeply…
Xiaofan, where are you? Why aren't you coming back sooner? Co back and hold again, will you? I miss you so much…
Tears moistened the sheets… Accompanied by deep longing, Shen Zuimo unknowingly drifted off to sleep. Even in dreams, if she could feel his hand gently patting her back again, it would be enough. Though increasingly, that big hand would naughtily take advantage… Anything's fine, just as long as he shows up, in reality or even in a dream.
This sleep lasted over three hours.
When Shen Zuimo woke up, the sky had turned completely dark.
Only a few hours left until the final deadline, has he still not co back yet? Or maybe he's already here?
Getting off the bed, heading to the door… how she wished that once the door was opened, she would see him sitting with his group of friends, drinking and chatting, and when he saw her, he would say with a mischievous smile: you're awake? I didn't want to wake you, that's why I didn't call you…
The main door opened, outside was pitch black.
In the dimness, she could see Li San and Han Shengjun leaning on the couch, not sleeping but staring at their phones, all of them waiting. Waiting for that last second.
*Clunk…*
The lights turned on. Soone else entered.
These guys jumped up from the couch again, looking towards the door.
"Hmm? You're all here…" Chen i'Er, with a face full of sadness, looked at everyone but did not find the figure she was hoping for in the crowd.
In front of Xiaofan's room, she saw Shen Zuimo, indeed… no matter how many tis she saw her, she was amazed by her beauty. It's really hard to understand how there can be a woman so extrely beautiful.
A slight nod, considered a greeting to Shen Zuimo.
"Chen i'Er…"
"Hmm?" She opened her mouth, her voice icy yet extraordinarily pleasant.
"I want to find Liu Siyan and another girl nad Chen ngying."
"Why are you looking for them?" Chen i'Er asked, puzzled.
"To ask about so things from the ti in H City," Shen Zuimo said directly.
"Hmm? Now?"
"Now, if convenient, I'd like to go out to see them."
"Okay, I'll arrange a place for you, and I'll contact them now."
"Let's go ahead first."
Brief and direct words.
Though they hadn't t many tis or spoken much, they were surprisingly familiar with each other. Especially Chen i'Er, who had already heard about Shen Zuimo from Liu Siyan and others multiple tis. Today, it's like finally sitting together and slowly saying a sentence.
Once thought about, the scene of several won sitting together to talk about Ye Xiaofan felt tense. Because all loved him, when comparatively, no one wanted to back out. At that ti, it would be a tense scene, even thinking with Chen i'Er's personality.
But now, when the scene of several won sitting together is presented again, there's no excessive awkwardness. Because no one will think about whom Xiaofan will choose anymore, everyone is thinking now: if he cos back, that's enough, no matter who he chooses, as long as he lives, nothing is more important.
At this ti, Liu Siyan and Chen ngying were sitting quietly on the bed in Liu Siyan's boudoir, also waiting silently for ti to slip by, waiting for news from that person.
Seeing the call from Chen i'Er, both girls perked up. They imdiately answered.
"Hello, i'Er, has Xiaofan returned?"
"He still has no news."
"Oh… I see." Another sigh of disappointnt.
"Is ngying with you? If you're free now, co over to my place. Shen Zuimo wants to see you both…"
