Zhou Zehan: “…”

Si Nian withdrew her gaze. It seemed the older man hadn’t lied.

He truly did have his family in his heart.

She got up to make dinner for him.

Zhou Yueshen followed her.

Hearing the noise, Si Nian knew it was him. Taking eggs out of the refrigerator, she said, “It’s already dark, let’s just eat something simple. The kids haven’t eaten either, so how about we have noodles tonight?”

Zhou Yueshen gave a sound of agreement and rolled up his sleeves to help her.

The figures moved back and forth in the kitchen. His tall, lean silhouette moved methodically, accompanied by her slender, gentle shadow next to him, creating a warm and cozy scene.

After cooking the noodles, Si Nian let the children serve themselves. She picked up her own bowl and walked out.

Yaoyao held her little bowl, took a small portion from her father’s large bowl, and began slurping the noodles happily.

She was still wearing her new backpack. She couldn’t even bear to take it off while eating.

After all the fuss today, everyone was tired.

Si Nian told the kids to wash up and go to bed after eating, planning to get some early rest herself.

By the time Zhou Yueshen finished washing up and returned to the room, Si Nian was sitting with her back to him at the vanity, wiping her face.

She took off her ring and examined it carefully for a moment.

It looked like a real diamond. That must have cost a lot of money, right?

Just how deep were this man’s pockets?

Zhou Yueshen walked over and closed the window. Because of the orientation of their house, if the window wasn’t closed, the early morning sun would shine right in and be too bright.

When he turned around, Si Nian had already gotten into bed and was lying flat.

Zhou Yueshen: “…”

For some reason, he had a bad premonition.

The summer blanket was exceptionally thin. In the past, Zhou Yueshen never used a blanket at all, but Si Nian needed one. She insisted on using a summer cooling blanket, which felt nice and cool to the touch.

As she lay there now, the curves of her body were clearly outlined.

Zhou Yueshen looked away, then lay down beside Si Nian, his posture straight and stiff, facing upward.

It was as if they had gone back to when they first got married. Back then, he was still somewhat reserved and always slept in this rigid posture.

Once they became familiar with each other, he would always pull her into his arms as soon as they got into bed.

Si Nian found it somewhat amusing. Her eyes darted around with a hint of craftiness.

She turned her body closer to Zhou Yueshen, resting her hand subconsciously on his chest, lightly tapping it from time to time.

“Zhou Yueshen, I need to do an inspection.”

“To check if your chastity is still intact, of course.”

With the windows closed, the room was very dark.

Si Nian couldn’t see Zhou Yueshen’s face.

But Zhou Yueshen had excellent night vision. He could clearly see her blinking eyes and her body pressed tightly against his.

Her soft curves were pressed right against his arm.

Zhou Yueshen knew this matter wouldn’t end so simply, so he said, “Alright, go ahead and inspect.”

Si Nian chuckled softly. This man actually took it seriously, thinking she was really doubting him.

She quickly hid her smile and reached out to turn on the small bedside lamp.

Leaning over to unbutton the man’s clothes, her movements were deliberately slow.

It didn’t look like an inspection at all; it was more like flirting.

Zhou Yueshen’s Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously.

He watched her actions in silence. Si Nian pulled his clothes open, her gaze sweeping wantonly over his body, before she frowned critically. “How did your muscles get even better?”

He obviously wasn’t butchering pigs anymore, so how come his muscles hadn’t softened even a little bit?

Zhou Yueshen’s voice was deep. “I’ve been working out with Little Han lately.”

…

Si Nian yawned. “It seems your chastity is still intact. Let’s go to sleep early then.”

After saying that, she pushed Zhou Yueshen’s hand away, turned her back to him, lay down, and closed her eyes to sleep…

Zhou Yueshen: “…”

…

Meanwhile, next door, Song Zhaodi opened her eyes, feeling restless.

Ever since Wang Ergou was released from prison, she hadn’t been able to sleep for the past few days.

Thinking back to when Wang Ergou climbed over the wall of Si Nian’s house a while ago, she felt a lingering sense of unease.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Wang Ergou hadn’t just come to steal things.

Could it be that he really saw something?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, especially after hearing people say during the day that Wang Ergou had been sneaking around the area lately. It made her even more worried.

She climbed out of bed, threw on some clothes, and hurriedly left the house.

In the darkness of the night, she walked to the door of a certain house.

Her flashlight shone on the door. The police seal was still there; although slightly weathered, it remained intact.

Song Zhaodi breathed a small sigh of relief. She had just turned around to leave when she suddenly heard an “Ouch~” coming from inside.

Her footsteps abruptly halted. She turned her head to look, her trembling pupils looking especially terrifying in the dead of night.

…

After class the next day, Si Nian went to the English teacher to learn about the work details. It was mostly translating documents and the like. The contents of these documents were confidential and could not be leaked, so the English teacher repeatedly emphasized that she had to do all the work personally.

Lu Yao stood beside her, also listening attentively.

As the two walked out, Lu Yao glanced at her and said, “Si Nian, I hope you don’t misunderstand. I’m not trying to compete with you; I just want to prove that I’m no worse than you.”

Si Nian: “…No one has ever said you were worse than me.”

Lu Yao’s grip on the documents tightened.

Si Nian shook her head, too lazy to say more to her.

In college, the competition among students with good grades to get better resources was always fierce.

Everyone wanted the best. She could understand that, so naturally, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with what Lu Yao was doing.

However, while Lu Yao claimed it was to prove herself, she was actually afraid that people would think she was fighting Si Nian for the spot, which was why she said such things.

She thought she was proving her innocence, but in reality, it was just self-comfort.

Unfortunately, Si Nian punctured her illusion with a single sentence.

Before she even reached home, she saw police cars parked outside the alley.

Many people by the roadside were talking in hushed tones.

“Is there really a corpse? That’s too scary. Wasn’t the body of the previous female homeowner already found? Then whose is it this time?”

“Corpse my ass, the police said they didn’t find anything. It was Wang Ergou lying…”
