After returning from smoking a cigarette, Li Nanheng sat down and began his soul interrogation.
“I say, what’s your name again? Shi Niange, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Did water enter your brain or was your brain squeezed by the door? How did you fall for Qin Siting?” Li Nanheng asked. “This guy’s temper is not good, and he’s always unreasonable. He’s almost completely cut off from girls. How did you hook up with him?”
Faced with such questions, the air fell into an instant of silence.
Indeed, when Qin Siting was with someone he was not familiar with, he was as cold as an ice mountain. He was unmoved by force or persuasion. In addition to his character, it was really difficult for people to approach him easily.
Not to mention Li Nanheng, even Shi Niange felt that… this was indeed a difficult task.
How did she do it?
She couldn’t remember clearly, but she felt that her gaze never left his body. Gradually, she didn’t know why she rushed into Qin Siting’s world.
Until this man held her tightly in his world, she still could not react. She was not sure if she was really by his side.
“If I like her, I’ll naturally be with her. What do you mean by hooking up?” Qin Siting said indifferently.
Li Nanheng’s brows were about to fly up. “Damn, I’ve never heard you say such sour words before.”
However, Shi Niange was sitting sweetly by Qin Siting’s side. She recalled his calm and natural words: “If Ilike her, I will be with her.”
Li Nanheng then chuckled. “Are you confessing your love to her right in front of me?”
“Li Nanheng, I’m the same age as you.” Shi Niange was secretly excited but did not forget to retort.
Li Nanheng snorted. He finally discovered that although this girl appeared obedient and sensible on the surface, she was actually very prickly in her bones. He didn’t know where she got the ability to tie Qin Siting up.
“I’m very convinced. Little Shi, you’re amazing. You even managed to subdue such an ice mountain.” Li Nanheng casually knocked on the table with one hand. “When exactly did it start? Qin Siting’s mouth is really tight. He never informed us, brothers.”
Afterward, Li Nanheng rambled on about how many girls had taken a fancy to Qin Siting when they were young, only to be rejected by him. In addition, Qin Siting and Mo Jingshen’s characters were almost the same. They were short-spoken and attractive to girls. However, as long as the two of them stood together, they were like a hybrid of the South Pole. They did not stop looking at any girls.
For example, two years ago, when Qin Siting took advantage of the winter and summer holidays to go to America, Li Nanheng had a cousin named Li Jinse at home. At that time, he wanted to introduce her to him. Seeing that she was Li Nanheng’s cousin, Qin Siting didn’t neglect her too much. However, no matter how much Li Jinse took the initiative, Qin Siting didn’t even drink a bottle of water from her. In the end, she really couldn’t catch up. Li Jinse gave up and even complained that the two brothers by Li Nanheng’s side were each harder to deal with than the other. She didn’t understand how he could be so familiar with such a person.
Li Nanheng only briefly mentioned this. At this moment, his phone rang. He lowered his head to see that it was Li Jinse, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
Qin Siting, who had been silent the whole time, curved his lips and said as if he had predicted something, “The Li family is looking for your cousin to be a lobbyist again, advising you to give up the base and go back to accept the family business?”
Li Nanheng’s words hit the nail on the head. He did not answer the call and hung up. He did not mention these things and changed the topic.
Shi Niange listened to their teasing and various insults. After some thought, she chose to remain silent and calmly eat the pork ribs.
However, a few minutes later, her phone rang. It was Grandfather who asked why she didn’t go to the laboratory today. He also said that he gave Qin Siting a break today. Why did she disappear? He asked if she wanted to go back for lunch in the afternoon.
Shi Niange quickly swallowed the meat in her mouth and said, “Ah, aren’t you giving me a break today? I forgot. Before the Spring Festival, I often did experiments with Qin Siting. Today, he’s resting. I thought I was also taking a break. It’s already so late. I won’t be going. I’m outside, and I’ve already eaten. There’s no need to wait for me to eat.”
“You can even forget this. Lass, what have you been thinking recently?” Grandfather said helplessly.
Shi Niange raised her hand to look at the time. “Grandfather, I can return to Lishui Villa at around four or five in the evening. Are you going to my place for dinner tonight? Or do you have other plans?”
“No, I’m not going. I’m having dinner with the leader of the Education Bureau. As for you, school will reopen in less than ten days. The laboratory will be busy for a few more days before you have to return to school. After school reopens, you have to be good. Since you’ve already set your sights on your dreams, you have to hold on, understand?”
“I know, Grandfather. I won’t give up on studying medicine. Besides, I’m not lonely on this path. I’ll definitely persevere. Don’t worry,” Shi Niange said as she looked at Qin Siting who was sitting by the side.
With Qin Siting accompanying her on this path, she would never give up.
“All right, don’t tell me about your ambitions. The Shi family’s business is growing bigger and bigger. Your parents can’t even take care of themselves. They work overtime every day and stay up late. I’m really afraid that their bodies won’t be able to take it. You’re the only daughter in the Shi family. If something really happens, can you not take responsibility? Don’t be too sure about everything. No one can predict the future clearly. You have to learn to prepare your own path of retreat. You have to take care of the family while studying medicine. Don’t always be stubborn.”
Afterward, her grandfather nagged for a while before hanging up. Shi Niange had just hung up when Li Nanheng, who was fighting with Qin Siting, suddenly turned to look at her. “What good points does Qin Siting have? Tell me? Let me see where you’re blind.”
Shi Niange: “????”
She had just finished dealing with Grampy. Right now, she only wanted to eat. She didn’t want to participate in the fight between the two of them, okay?
And when she liked someone, she felt that everything was good. She really could not say what was so good about him.
It seemed like… everything was good…
Li Nanheng raised his brows and looked at her as though he was waiting for her to say something and then make Qin Siting swallow it.
Shi Niange thought for a moment and felt that even if she couldn’t figure it out, she had to say something. She still had to give her boyfriend enough face. She couldn’t embarrass him, nor could she let him suffer verbally. Although, cough, cough, there was no need for it. Qin Si didn’t need this face.
However, she still said, “He’s good looking.”
Qin Siting: “…”
Li Nanheng had just taken a sip of water. After enduring for a long time, he still coughed with a smile.
