Chapter 937: Chapter 938: Nianyang Awakens 2
At the same time, Nianyang, whoâd stayed where she was, was dragged by Luo Xia over to a shady spot. The branches crossed overhead, but they didnât block out all the light. Seeing that Li Tingyan wouldnât be coming back anytime soon, Luo Xia deliberately pulled Nianyang into a slightly hotter corner and took the cooler place for herself.
"Seriously, itâs so hot. I really donât know when we can go back."
With no outsiders around and Nianyang still acting like an idiot, Luo Xia couldnât be bothered to fake anything anymore and started complaining outright.
She looked at Nianyang, who was motionless beside her, and thought of how when sheâd helped Nianyang bathe earlier, Nianyang had clearly reacted.
A bold thought flashed through her mind.
Could this woman be faking it, on purpose just to torment her?
With that in mind, Luo Xia walked up to Nianyang and muttered as she stared at her,
"Is there really such a thing as a puppet person in this world? Why does that sound so unreliable? Can you hear what Iâm saying?"
No response.
Why not test it?
Luo Xia glanced over at a small slope nearby, and a vicious impulse rose in her heart.
"Miss Chu, Iâd like to see whether you can react or not."
With that, she reached out and gave her a shove...

As if heâd just heard some kind of joke, a deep smile gathered in Li Tingyanâs eyes. He said lightly, "If I couldnât do that, I wouldnât marry her."
Such a simple sentence, yet it was like a heavy hammer, smashing all of Shi Fengâs persistence to pieces.
Shi Fengâs face went pale in an instant. Only then did he realize that right now, his humiliation actually outweighed his jealousy.
Li Tingyan was ruthless. With just one sentence, he shattered Shi Fengâs defenses, leaving him utterly defeated and even ashamed.
Looking into the manâs deep eyes, he suddenly understood what Nianyang had said beforeâthat he didnât understand what they had gone through, didnât understand their love.
Back then, Shi Feng hadnât believed it, but now he did.
Li Tingyan was rightâhe really couldnât do it.
What he liked was the lively, spirited Nianyang, the Nianyang who was full of blood and flesh. If he had to keep watch over a living dead person day after day, he wouldnât be able to hold out.
Compared to Li Tingyan, his love was too shallow, too insignificant.
"I... I get it now." Shi Feng took a deep breath, finally stepping out of it. He lifted his eyes to Li Tingyan, his tone sincere. "Li Tingyan, I wonât disturb you and Nianyang anymore, and I wonât keep pestering you. But I hope you remember every word you said today. If you can truly keep loving Nianyang this ardently, Iâll give you my blessing. But if you ever go back on it, I wonât let you off."
"Thereâs no need for Second Young Master Shi to worry about that."
Li Tingyanâs expression didnât change, but a victorious curve appeared at the corner of his lips. He had finally dealt with this troublesome love rival.
Shi Feng couldnât stay any longer; after saying his piece, he left.
Just as Li Tingyan turned around, his sharp ears caught a dull thud from that direction. His heart clenched, as if sensing something, and he ran over at a quick pace.
"Nini..."
Luo Xia hadnât expected that with one push, Nianyang would really fall like an object, straight down the slope. She was stunned on the spot.
Then she felt a gust of cold wind behind her. Her face went deathly pale as she turned around and met Li Tingyanâs terrifyingly handsome face. Her lips started trembling uncontrollably.
"Li..."
Li Tingyanâs tone was explosive. "Luo Xia, whereâs Nini? Didnât I tell you to stay put and watch her?"
Luo Xiaâs eyes flickered and she instantly started crying. "IâI couldnât hold it just now and went to the bathroom for a moment. When I came back, I found that Miss Chu had fallen down."
