The door opened, and Nian Shen had become quite calm when encountering such situations. He asked, "Who wants my life this time?"
Heather pushed him inside, "Letâs talk inside."
The two sat down; Nian Shen was in the mood to drink and even poured her a glass. "I never thought my life was so valuable, that people would want to take it time and again."
"Iâm sorry, Mr. Nian. It seems that I have implicated you."
Now, she couldnât leave even if she wanted to.
Although the reason he wants to kill him is likely because of her, even if she leaves now, it wonât change his desire for Nian Shenâs life.
So, she can only stay.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Forget it..."
Heather thought about it and decided not to tell him about such dark matters.
"But in any case, Mr. Nian, please donât like me anymore, and donât have any untoward thoughts about me. Itâs not good for you."
"Are you saying... the person who wants my life is your Ah Nian?"
He was very smart, hitting the nail on the head with one sentence, so she nodded, "Yes, so you must heed my advice. When Ah Nian wants someoneâs life, even I can hardly stop him. I can only do my best to protect you."
"Do your best, thatâs all that matters. Letâs drink. Life is something we can never predict; it can be long or short. Cherishing the present is enough."
"..." Initially, Heather didnât want to drink, but hearing Nian Shenâs words touched her deeply, especially after what happened with Qu Leqi; she always felt that life...
Truly is beyond oneâs control.
She clinked glasses with him and said, "Drink up, letâs not return until we are drunk."
That day, they didnât go anywhere; they just stayed indoors drinking and chatting.
Talking about Qu Leqi, Heather, slightly drunk, looked at him and said, "Something happened to her. Are you sad? Hiding in the hotel drinking... If youâre sad, then cry. I wonât see anything and Iâll keep it a secret... I wonât even tell Yi Yang."
Nian Shen wasnât drunk; everything was still clear to him and he hadnât been numbed by alcohol.
He smiled and said, "You and Yi Yang talk about everything, donât think I donât know. Youâd just tell him afterward."
"No way!" Heather patted her chest, giving her word, "If you donât believe me, Iâll swear! I really wonât... Iâll definitely keep your secret, okay? Just cry... Men crying isnât a sin either..."
"Crying alone is so boring. Youâre not even comforting me. Who cries like a child in front of the woman they like?"
Heather grinned foolishly, "Alright, alright, Iâll comfort you..."
Heather was really a bit drunk, stood up and swayed a little, wobbling towards him, tripping over a rumpled carpet, and fell into his arms.
Nian Shen caught her securely.
She took the opportunity to adjust her posture, wrapped her arms around his neck, suddenly straddling his lap, so they ended up sitting face to face.
She hugged Nian Shen tightly, her chin resting on his shoulder, like comforting a child, her hands gently patting his back, "Cry, cry... Iâll give you a hug..."
Nian Shenâs hands stiffened, slowly lifted them, placed them on her back, and embraced her, resting on her shoulder as well.
"Wei Wei..." His voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Little Nianshen, be good..." Her clear voice carried a bit of rasp, singing her own improvised song, "Open your heartâs door, quickly cry..."
Nian Shen did not cry, but Heather sang herself to tears.
