He slowly approached and asked in a low voice, "Miss Shen, have you and Jingyan known each other for a long time?"

Shen Anran smiled slightly, with a hint of affection in her eyes: "Well, we can be considered childhood sweethearts."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zichen nodded, as if he understood something.

"So that's how it is. I met him in Country W. I often heard him mumbling to himself, calling out for someone named An An. I guess it must be you."

"Did you meet him in Country W?"

There is very little description of Tang Zichen in the book. Most of the descriptions are about the emotional tug-of-war between him and his wife, his restraint in wanting to love but not daring to get close, and the tragic ending in the end.

There was no mention of his acquaintance with Zhou Jingyan, but Tang Zichen often talked about a friend, saying that the person was very outstanding and was his role model.

But the author did not specify who this person was, but just mentioned him briefly.

Now it seems that the person he was talking about should be Zhou Jingyan.

Tang Zichen's eyes revealed deep nostalgia, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He recalled: "Yes, at that time his wallet was stolen, and I helped him get it back. At first he mistook me for a thief, and we almost got into a fight. In the end, it was only after checking the surveillance video that I was cleared of the crime."

Shen Anran asked softly: "Did he have a bad time during that time?"

"Not too good. I always feel like there's something wrong with him. Every time I ask him who An An is and if she's his girlfriend, he always shakes his head and says he doesn't know."

It seems that I only vaguely remember a name, but I can't remember who that person is.

Tang Zichen was full of confusion. If the two of them were really childhood sweethearts who grew up together, why did they have no contact after Zhou Jingyan went to Country W?

What's more, Zhou Jingyan didn't even admit that he knew her. This was all really puzzling.

Shen Anran's gaze gradually became solemn. In the novel, Zhou Jingyan was never mentioned again after he went abroad.

Now it seems that since he went to Country W, every little thing he experienced in City S has been gradually forgotten, and even the name Shen Anran has been erased from his memory.

So he didn't know who An An was, nor did he understand why he called out this name.

Tang Zichen noticed her distraction and chuckled, then continued, "I'm not interested in your private affairs. I'm just curious. How did Miss Shen know about what happened between Ruoyan and me?"

Shen Anran's eyes flickered slightly, and she replied, "A friend once mentioned it to me."

"Can you reveal the identity of this friend? I also hope to know more about Ruoyan's past." Tang Zichen continued to ask.

"She has gone abroad and we haven't been in touch for a long time. Her name is Fu Ying." Shen Anran did not avoid the question anymore, but directly said the person's name.

Tang Zichen got the answer he wanted, and the smile in his eyes deepened. "So that's how it is. Then I won't bother Miss Shen anymore. Goodbye."

"Okay." Shen Anran responded.

After Tang Zichen left, Shen Anran stood there for a moment.

She remembered clearly that Xia Ruoyan and Fu Ying were classmates, and she had also heard her mention Xia Ruoyan, but she had almost forgotten what it was specifically.

Fortunately, Fu Ying is a person who can't keep secrets and everything will be leaked out.

Moreover, after so many years, even if Tang Zichen asked Xia Ruoyan, it would probably be difficult for her to recall those past events.

As Shen Anran expected, as soon as Tang Zichen returned home, he asked his wife if she knew Fu Ying.

Xia Ruoyan pondered for a moment and nodded gently, "It's true that Fu Ying and I were friends, but we lost contact after graduation. I never thought she had moved overseas."

Because it happened so long ago, she couldn't be sure whether she had ever mentioned the person she liked to Fu Ying, and there was no way to verify it.

Tang Zichen held her in his arms, his tone full of thought, "Shen Anran gives me a mysterious feeling, as if she knows everything about many things."

Xia Ruoyan frowned and said to Tang Zichen, "Zichen, no matter how Miss Shen found out about these things, the important thing is that she did help us. It seems a bit inappropriate for us to suspect her without any reason."

Seeing that his wife seemed a little unhappy, Tang Zichen immediately apologized: "Madam, you are right. I really shouldn't have done that."

Xia Ruoyan's cheeks flushed slightly. Ever since they opened their hearts to each other, Tang Zichen always liked to say these embarrassing and ambiguous words, and she was a little unable to resist.

"After I finish the work at hand, let's travel to Country Y. Haven't you always wanted to see the meteor shower?" Tang Zichen suggested.

"Who told you?" Xia Ruoyan was a little confused as to why Tang Zichen suddenly brought up this matter.

"I will help you realize all the wishes you wrote in your diary." Tang Zichen kissed her red lips lightly.

Xia Ruoyan's eyes widened, and she was fuming like a child who had been wronged. "You peeked at my notebook!"

Tang Zichen responded with a playful smile: "If I didn't peek, how would I know you like me so much?"

"Tang Zichen!" There was a hint of shame and anger in Xia Ruoyan's voice.

"Wife, I'm here." Tang Zichen's voice was full of doting.

Xia Ruoyan's face was as red as a ripe apple. She turned around and ran upstairs with light steps, leaving Tang Zichen laughing downstairs.

"Wife, run slower."

After a while, Tang Zichen lay comfortably on the sofa, and the smile on his lips became more obvious.

Fortunately, there is still time, fortunately we still love each other deeply.

As for the secret between Shen Anran and Zhou Jingyan, let them solve it themselves.

All he wants to do now is travel the world with his wife and make up for the years they missed.

On the day of discharge, Zhou Wanning also appeared in the hospital. She was wearing a black coat and had a strong aura. Just standing at the door attracted a lot of people's attention.

Zhou Jingyan's eyes were as calm as water, and he asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Wanning raised her eyebrows, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked, "I can't come?"

Shen Anran's eyes wandered between Zhou Jingyan and Zhou Wanning. She always felt that the way these two siblings got along was a little subtle.

Zhou Wanning was not angry at Zhou Jingyan's words, but turned her gaze to Shen Anran.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he asked with a smile: "Xiao Anran, what do you think about the suggestion I made last time?"

Zhou Jingyan's expression immediately turned stern. He took a step forward and protected Shen Anran behind him.

There was a hint of caution in his tone: "What did you tell her?"

Zhou Wanning casually fiddled with a strand of hair by her ear, a playful smile on her lips.

She responded nonchalantly: "Why are you in such a hurry? I can't eat her up."
