Chapter 1471 - 1265: Song Yansheng’s Fury_3
After a while, she spoke again, "Then tell me, Second Uncle, what should I do to make you believe that there’s nothing between Shen Zui and me!"
"Nuannuan doesn’t need to prove anything. I just want to ask you one question, honestly answer me and that’s enough!"
Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Second Uncle, say..."
"Nuannuan, have you ever... ever thought about giving yourself... to Shen Zui?"
Shi Nuan’s heart trembled, and she couldn’t speak for a moment.
Song Yansheng looked at Shi Nuan’s reaction, lowered his head, and then smiled slightly.
Then he said nothing, turned, and was about to leave.
Only then did Shi Nuan react and hurriedly called out, "Second Uncle..."
Song Yansheng just waved his hand at her and said, "I want to be alone for a while, you should rest early!"
With those words, he walked out of the room, his back despondent and lonely.
This side of Song Yansheng, Shi Nuan had never seen before, and it made her heart ache, really ache.
But she couldn’t lie to Song Yansheng and say never.
Because indeed there was a time, in the year she was sixteen.
Shi Nuan recalled the past, feeling that many things seemed to be becoming increasingly blurry.
But occasionally, in the middle of the night, in the moments between dreams, everything felt so clear, so vivid.
She often wondered why she forgot so easily, but then realized, who in this world can remember everything forever?
That year, Shi Nuan had been in a relationship with Shen Zui for a year.
Their feelings were pure and beautiful, and a few years after her mother’s passing, Shi Nuan had finally found smiles again.
But the hatred in her heart had not disappeared; it was always there, intensely present.
Sometimes she would wonder if a boy like Shen Zui, living in a simple world, was really suitable for her.
Whether she should be in love at all.
She had thought about breaking up with Shen Zui, believing someone as sunny and warm as him shouldn’t be drawn into her darkness.
Just as she was about to make up her mind to break up with Shen Zui, she discovered that Shi Jiaojiao also liked Shen Zui.
The words she said to Shi Jiaojiao at the time were mostly guided by Shi Jiaojiao, taken out of context, but indeed.
She had once derived a sense of revenge from Shen Zui.
She continued her relationship with Shen Zui.
Shen Zui treated her well, consistently well.
Yet in her heart, there was always a selfishness.
She felt guilty towards Shen Zui, so she always tried hard to show him her sunny, beautiful side.
That weekend, she went with Shen Zui to the city library to read, not expecting it to rain when they left.
Shen Zui had once said that the first time he saw her, it was on a rainy day.
And their beginning also stemmed from a rainy day.
The two crouched under the library’s eaves, watching the rain curtain outside, talking meticulously about their own stories.
Later, when the rain wouldn’t stop, Shen Zui suddenly suggested, "Why don’t we stay in the city for one night?"
Shi Nuan looked at Shen Zui in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Zui smiled shyly and said, "Nuannuan, today’s actually my birthday, and I want you to spend it with me!"
At that time, they hadn’t been together for a year, and Shi Nuan had never paid attention to when Shen Zui’s birthday was.
She hadn’t expected it to be that day.
She felt she was a particularly unqualified girlfriend.
It was probably this guilt that prompted Shi Nuan to agree to stay in the city for the night with Shen Zui that day.
Shen Zui took her to a quite nice hotel, and only upon entering did she realize that Shen Zui had actually prepared everything.
Because even a birthday cake was ready in the room.
At that time, Shi Nuan felt very guilty and said, "I didn’t even prepare a birthday gift for you!"
Shen Zui smiled and said there was no need, saying having her there was the best birthday present.
That day, with the light rain falling outside, Shi Nuan spent Shen Zui’s first birthday with him in the hotel.
The two ate cake together, cut the cake, and had a very happy time.
When it was time to sleep, Shen Zui originally slept on the sofa, and Shi Nuan slept on the bed.
But it was April, and the night was still a bit chilly, and the hotel only had one blanket.
Eventually, Shi Nuan couldn’t bear it and let Shen Zui sleep on the bed.
At that time, Shi Nuan was only sixteen, although not deeply understanding about relationships between men and women.
Yet she knew that inviting a male to lie on the same bed with her was a dangerous thing.
But she also felt that as long as she was unwilling, Shen Zui wouldn’t do anything to her.
Shen Zui hesitated at first and asked Shi Nuan, "Aren’t you afraid?"
Shi Nuan understood what he meant and said, "I am afraid... but I think you wouldn’t!"
Shen Zui just smiled and said, "Nuannuan, you forgot one thing, I’m nineteen this year, no longer a little boy!"
