“Okay.”
It seemed like there wasn’t much fluctuation in Shen Zhilie’s faint voice. Shen Zhilie looked down at Ye Qianqian and said softly, “I know what happened.”
Ye Qianqian looked up at him, shocked.
Shen Zhilie could see as clear as day the sadness in Ye Qianqian’s eyes. He reached out and gently stroked her face. “You told me this yourself. Did you forget about that?”
Ye Qianqian was silent for a moment. “Did I tell you?”
“Well…” Shen Zhilie seemed a bit speechless. “A few days ago you told me the first time you called me.”
“Is that so…?” It suddenly occurred to Ye Qianqian that she had. “Yes, I did tell you,” she nodded.
“You told me that Fang Tongtong was crying a lot after that and that her mother was also very upset about it. That was what you told me.”
“Well then, do you have any idea why I called you?”
“Why?”
“When Fang Tongtong had that accident, it was the second day after my grandfather pa.s.sed away. I went to the hospital to visit her several times. At that time, she was in very bad condition. During the examination, the doctor said that her *** was torn.”
Shen Zhilie took a sideways glance at Ye Qianqian. Ye Qianqian felt a little ashamed inside. She lowered her head and said, “She was discharged from the hospital later. Grandfather’s funeral had ended as well. When I returned to Kingstown the next day, I called you.”
“So, it was only because you knew that I hadn’t had s.e.x with her that you wanted to get back together with me, wasn’t it?”
Ye Qianqian blushed, but she sucked it up and nodded to him with great honesty. Shen Zhilie drew a deep breath. She didn’t know whether it was done out of anger or powerlessness. He raised his hand and waved it aside, but he didn’t know what to do.
Ye Qianqian quickly held his hand and said, “I… I was wrong.”
“Well, it’s all right. At least the facts have surely and thoroughly proved that I’m innocent.” Shen Zhilie sighed and said, “But it’s a real pity for Fang Tongtong. I didn’t realize that she was actually a virgin.”
“Well…” Ye Qianqian also felt very sorry for her in her heart.
“However, it’s still necessary for us to make an appearance. These are different matters. We are just going to buy some things there. We won’t provoke her on purpose. Let’s go.” Shen Zhilie took Ye Quanquan’s hand and walked outside.
Ye Qianqian was stunned. She was pa.s.sively dragged along with him. When they reached the door of Fang Tongtong’s shop, Ye Qianqian took a look at it and felt a little nostalgia and bitterness in her heart. Shen Zhilie didn’t feel much emotion. He pulled Ye Qianqian forward, stood there, and looked around.
Fang Tongtong was shocked when she saw the two of them. Ye Qianqian smiled mildly to her and waved, “Hi…”
Shen Zhilie simply asked, “Do you have any candy here? The type wrapped up in a gift box?”
Fang Tongtong didn’t feel so good when she heard his words. Pressing her lips, Fang Tongtong stood up and said, “Yes, we do. What kind of flavor do you want?”
“Whatever. Any kind that can be given away as a gift.” Shen Zhilie acted like he didn’t even know her. “I’m going to visit the blind uncle who Ye Qianqian was talking about. I’m going to ask for a horoscope and propose the marriage in a few days.”
Fang Tongtong’s hands shrunk back. She was visibly annoyed. She turned her head around and noticed the way that Ye Qianqian was pulling Shen Zhilie. “Are you preparing to get married?” Fang Tongtong asked.
Shen Zhilie raised his eyebrows slightly and answered, “Yes.”
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to get married before, but now all of a sudden you do?” Fang Tongtong looked dead straight into Ye Qianqian’s eyes when she said this.
“Well, marriages are all the same, whether they’re early or late. It’s good to settle down early, isn’t it, Miss Fang?”
