Tang Yanqing’s fingertips softly twirled around Shi Nian’s hair.
"Do you know, when a person carries so much in their heart alone, outsiders might find it enigmatic and cool, but in reality, that person feels bitter inside. People are social animals, always wanting to communicate and express themselves. And you are recognized as the closest person in their heart, so they want to try to confide in you. Because they also realize that only by truly opening their heart to you can you really enter their world; otherwise, there will always be a transparent window between you two, no matter how much they confide in you, you still won’t hear it through that window."
Shi Nian, however, raised her eyes warily: "You’re actually talking about yourself, aren’t you?"
So sharp...
Tang Yanqing awkwardly turned her head away: "Cough, cough, who said that, I was talking about my elder cousin."
Shi Nian laughed: "Professor T, you’ve been hiding things from all along, you think I don’t know?"
"What are you talking about?" Tang Yanqing feigned ignorance and cuteness, clenching her fists by her cheeks and shaking them: "Are you worried that I’ve had many girlfriends before? No, no, I’m so well-behaved..."
Shi Nian lowered her head: "Maybe even you haven’t noticed: when you talk to , you habitually keep both hands in your pockets. To outsiders, it might look like you’re trying to be cool; but how can behavior analysts not understand that this always ans you’re hiding sothing?"
Tang Yanqing was left speechless.
As a behavior analysis expert, to be exposed by his girlfriend and student, he suddenly felt he should jump off the building in two steps to stay cool.
Shi Nian didn’t look at her: "Since you know it’s exhausting for soone to carry such burdens, then why continue to hide it from ? Can’t you just tell ? What exactly have you done that’s unspeakable, that you’re afraid to tell ? I can help you analyze it, and share the burden with you. Unless... you already have a wife and kids and are afraid of finding out."
He could only roll his eyes dramatically: "The child is in your belly!"
Shi Nian had no choice but to kick him again: "Do you think I’m Naruto, with a seal in my navel for the demon you brought forth?"
He was helpless: "Is this how you talk about our future children?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Shi Nian’s face instantly turned red.
He stared at her mournfully: "Today you just called Tom the cat, and now you’re calling our future child the Nine-tailed Demon Fox... I must ask, how did this species mutate?"
Shi Nian was truly amused, those words were casually said, without considering logic, yet he caught them.
Seeing her smile, he relaxed, leaning closer to softly ask: "When you just ntioned Tom... you obviously weren’t happy. You did it to embarrass in front of everyone. What did I do wrong?"
Turns out he knew everything.
Shi Nian took a deep breath: "Because it was in front of everyone, I had to save face for you, so I didn’t say anything. But I felt stifled, couldn’t I just embarrass you a bit?"
That mont was when they were talking about ng Chuyan’s cause of death...
Tang Yanqing took a deep breath: "It’s still because of ng Chuyan, you hold a grudge against ."
Since he understood, Shi Nian nodded: "But I’m not jealous, I’m just sad for ng Chuyan... ng Chuyan chose to commit suicide at this ti because Qin Jiajun hit her most nihilistic point; but I also feel there’s your reason in it."
Tang Yanqing’s thick eyebrows suddenly arched, wanting to defend himself, wanting to comfort her to not worry, but... from a professional standpoint, he couldn’t say anything.
He knew she was right.
Shi Nian turned her head: "That night at the big party, you introduced her to your family. Though her reaction wasn’t enthusiastic, indicating she knew you were acting, she was genuinely happy that night."
This must be a common issue among girls, everyone hopes to be formally introduced to a man’s family one day. Especially with ng Chuyan’s identity, she might know she could never have such an opportunity, never openly beco soone’s girlfriend or wife, yet hadn’t expected that night... like a dream.
Especially considering it’s the Tang Family, with a man like Tang Yanqing, in front of so many distinguished guests.
From a girl’s perspective... it would move her heart, and she might have sincerely fallen for Tang Yanqing that night.
Not to ntion, during that period, Tang Yanqing indeed was "pursuing" her, using every tactic, closely watching her, even reported like that in newspapers and magazines. Even if ng Chuyan knew it was a dream, there might have been those few monts when she lavishly hoped the dream could co true.
