The two aunties had already seen the young man with the appearance of a fairy when they entered, but since Shi Niange was ill, they did not ask too much. Now, they turned their attention back to Qin Siting. They were first surprised, and then quickly said, “It’s good that you’ve eaten. We were afraid that it would be too late to cook. Then why aren’t you quickly returning to your room to rest? What are you still doing here? Don’t you have a fever?”
“I’m much better now. I can’t sleep even if I keep lying down. Besides, I’ve just eaten. If I lie down, my stomach won’t feel well.”
“That’s true. Then both of you should rest. Your Auntie Xu and I will go get some fruits for you to eat with your classmates. If you’re sick, drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables. Tonight, the two of us will stay here until you’re better. If you really can’t, don’t stay in the Li Shui Villa alone. Come back to the Shi family with us.” Auntie Liu was usually talkative, but right now, she was nagging non-stop.
“I don’t think so. The Shi family is too far away from the school. This place is close to the school and it’s convenient for me!. There’s no need to wake up so early. You all know that I’m in my third year of high school. I leave early and return late every day. There’s no need to waste so much time on the road.” Shi Niange looked back at Qin Siting, indicating that he could help her prove that school was tight.
Qin Siting’s beautiful brows moved slightly. He did not say much, but when the two aunties looked at him, he nodded politely.
After the two aunties arrived, Qin Siting did not have any reason to stay. Even if Shi Niange did not want him to leave, it was now past twelve. He could return to school before one in the afternoon. This would only delay his classes for half a day. No matter how unwilling she was, she still said, “Go back to school. You just missed morning’s classes, so my guilt can be lessened.”
“En.”
“Can you help me prepare my notes?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you, Almighty Qin ~”
This was the only conversation they had after the two aunties arrived.
Seeing that he had left, Shi Niange stood by the door and watched his back view. In fact, she felt a little regretful. If she hadn’t asked him to return to school in the afternoon, if she hadn’t asked him to leave, would he have left so quickly?
However, she really did not want him to waste time here, even if he was not unwilling.
Auntie Xu went upstairs to disinfect her room. When she came down, she saw that Shi Niange was still standing by the door, thinking about something. She walked over and said, “Nian Nian, the room has been disinfected. You have to remember to ventilate in the next few days, in case you have a bad habit of catching a cold. Why are you still standing here? Hasn’t your classmate left?”
“Nothing.” Shi Niange retracted her gaze. She did not dare to look at Auntie Xu’s curious gaze and returned to her room.

The set of cutlery that Qin Siting used had become Shi Niange’s.
She used the same set every day when she ate at home.
Although it seemed a little shameful, she still wanted to use it. Even when she was eating, she wished she could hold it with both hands. She was afraid of knocking it and touching it. She was even more careful with them than those old ceramic bowls at home that were worth six or seven digits.
After all, Qin Siting had used it before.
Shi Niange washed the dishes herself. After washing them, she wiped them dry and placed them in the eye-catching cabinet.
Her phone in her pocket rang. He had only replied to the message she had sent half an hour ago: [Backup.]
After resting at home for three days, her fever finally subsided and her mental state was much better. She could return to school tomorrow. Earlier, she had sent a message to Qin Siting asking if he had prepared a copy of her notes for her classes.
Then he replied.
Looking at the words sent by Qin Siting on her phone, Shi Niange felt sweet in her heart. Perhaps because she had liked him for too long, she would find her own sweets to eat. Every time she spoke to him or texted him, she would feel sweet from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Siting seemed to be different from before. Although he was still cold and did not speak much, he would answer her questions directly. His expression in front of her was no longer expressionless. In fact, there were some changes, although they were not too big.
And that day, he said that he was waiting for her.
Shi Niange clearly remembered that when they first sat at the same table, Qin Siting’s expression was always cold because there was another person by his side. She could tell how cold he was, and he really did not want her to sit by his side. His occasional frown and impatient expression clearly showed his rejection.
And now, whenever she smiled or said a word to him, he would turn his head to look at her. His gaze would also land on her face. He would no longer avoid looking at her. His gaze would also calmly look at her without much coldness.
She could happily wait for him outside the school gates every day, go to school with him, sit together every day, look for him to read his notes, look at his papers, and ask him to help her analyze the big questions.
More importantly, he was actually waiting for her under the tree.
It seemed like he didn’t speak much to others, especially to girls. There were too many girls who had a crush on him, but he really ignored them. He didn’t even look at them.
Just like how he rarely spoke to other girls, he definitely wouldn’t text other girls.
But Qin Siting would reply to her messages.
After recovering, she could lie down and roll around again. Shi Niange ran back to the bedroom and rolled around for a long time before she finally calmed down.
When she slept at night, she was still thinking that she had to wait for him under the tree early tomorrow morning because he knew that she would return to school tomorrow. If she went late, would he wait for her again?
Aiya, forget it. She would wait for him.
She fell asleep in such a mood. When she woke up the next day, her mood was beautiful.
When she rushed to the tree to wait, she specially took a look at the time. He had arrived a few minutes earlier than her. He would definitely be able to see her when he passed by later.
Two minutes later, Shi Niange heard the sound of a car nearby and subconsciously turned back. She suddenly saw the familiar black business car. It was the one Qin Siting’s mother had used last time. She shifted her gaze in that direction and saw that the car was parked between the tree and the school gate.
The smile in her eyes gradually faded.
Seeing this car, she knew without guessing that Qin Siting would probably not take this path today.
