Moze came out of the study and saw that the TV in the living room was still playing a movie, and there was a small figure curled up on the sofa.

He paused for a moment, then walked over.

I saw that Shen Nian, so small, had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Moze found the remote control, turned off the TV, and then bent down and gently picked up the person on the sofa.

Shen Nian was fast asleep and didn't wake up when someone picked her up. She just turned her head and snuggled into Mo Ze's arms, finding a comfortable position.

Mo Ze looked at the person in his arms. Her skin was fair and translucent, her eyelashes were long, and she was as quiet as a porcelain doll, making people want to protect and cherish her.

The redness and finger marks on both cheeks have long since disappeared after a few days of rest and medication, leaving only a smooth and delicate face.

Mo Ze held Shen Nian and looked down at her for a while before strolling leisurely towards the bedroom.

After gently placing the person on the bed and covering them with a blanket, I was about to go wash up.

Shen Nian rolled over, tucking the blanket under her legs. Mo Ze looked on helplessly and shook his head.

He remembered that the first time this girl slept in this bed, she was quite well-behaved and hardly moved at all throughout the night. Why was she so restless in her sleep now, always kicking off the covers? The room was air-conditioned, and the temperature wasn't high; a thin blanket was just right. Without one, she would probably catch a cold in the middle of the night.

So, these past few days, Mo Ze has had to get up two or three times a night to check on Shen Nian in her room and cover her with a blanket.

She treated him like her own daughter.

Of course, Shen Nian knew none of this.

I guess they got used to it and relaxed, and their sleeping postures became wild.

Mo Ze covered Shen Nian with the blanket again, stood by the bed, and deliberately spoke to the sleeping Shen Nian in a fierce tone, "If you kick the blanket off again, I'll sleep with you tonight."

As if she had heard him speak, Shen Nian didn't kick off the blanket that had been put back on.

Moze suddenly laughed.

He glanced at the person on the bed one last time, turned off the bedside lamp, and left the room.

the next morning.

Shen Nian's alarm clock went off at 7 a.m. She had planned to get up 20 minutes earlier to go downstairs and buy egg pancakes to bring up to Mo Ze. Unexpectedly, when she got up, changed her clothes, and came out, Mo Ze was already up and had prepared breakfast.

"Good morning, Uncle~" She scratched the back of her head and greeted Mo Ze somewhat awkwardly.

"Come and have something to eat." Mo Ze was slightly taken aback when he saw that she was up so early today, and then said to her.

"Oh~"

Shen Nian walked to the dining table and looked at the usual sumptuous breakfast. She felt even more embarrassed and sat down without immediately picking up her chopsticks.

Moze looked up, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? No appetite? Or don't you like these foods?"

"No, no..." Shen Nian hurriedly waved her hand.

Then she said, "Actually... I was planning to get up early this morning to buy you egg pancakes. You prepare them for me every day, and I feel really bad about it..."

Mo Ze paused for a moment, then laughed, "It's okay, there will be another chance for you to prepare egg pancakes."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Eat quickly."

Shen Nian then picked up her chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, the two of them went out together.

After dropping Shen Nian off at the school gate, Mo Ze went to the company.

When Shen Nian returned to the dormitory, her other three roommates had already returned.

She opened the dormitory door, and her roommate Wu Sisi, who slept in the bed next to her, immediately came to greet her, "Niannian, you're finally here! We were just talking about why you hadn't come back yet."

Lin Ling, her other roommate who slept directly opposite her, also poked her head out of her bed and said sleepily, "Niannian is back, I'll get up right away." Then she lay back down.

"What's wrong with her? She's still up so late." Shen Nian asked Wu Sisi with a smile. Wu Sisi glanced in Lin Ling's direction and said, "She probably stayed up late watching dramas last night. When I woke up to go to the bathroom around 1 a.m., I saw that the light was still on in her bed."

As the two were talking, the bathroom door was opened from the inside, and another roommate, Chen Jia, came out wearing pajamas and yawning, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

"Why isn't Jiajia fully awake yet?" Shen Nian asked.

With dark circles under her eyes, Chen Jia replied, "Don't even mention it. I haven't slept in my little bed for two months. I can't sleep in unfamiliar beds anymore." As she spoke, she walked to the wardrobe to change her clothes, then asked Shen Nian, "Nian Nian, why did you only come this morning?"

Shen Nian gets along well with her three roommates, all of whom are from other provinces, with Shen Nian being the only one from Jiangcheng. Like Shen Nian, Wu Sisi often works part-time to support herself; her family is from the farthest southwestern province, and their financial situation is considered average. Lin Ling and Chen Jia are from a neighboring province and come from middle-class families, though certainly not as wealthy as the local Jiangcheng residents.

The four girls got along well and had a harmonious relationship over the past three years. Initially, their dorm room was shared by students from different majors.

Wu Sisi studied accounting, Lin Ling studied English, and Chen Jia studied business administration. Their classes rarely overlapped, and this comfortable distance actually strengthened their bond. Whenever one of them was away in class, they would often send a WeChat message or make a phone call asking her to run errands, bring them food, or so they could. In three years of friendship, they never had a single argument.

"I had something to do at home last night, so I couldn't come over." Shen Nian hadn't talked much about her family situation in front of everyone, and no one asked much anyway. They only knew that her family was from Jiangcheng, that she didn't like going home, that she was a good student, and that she often received scholarships.

"Let's go out for hot pot tonight to celebrate becoming graduating seniors. We haven't gotten together for two months," Chen Jia suggested after changing her clothes and washing her face, feeling much more refreshed.

"Okay, okay, I really want to eat hot pot," Wu Sisi agreed.

Shen Nian had no objections.

The last few men climbed onto Lin Ling's bed and grabbed her, planning to leave early, go shopping first, have some snacks at the food street for lunch, and then go out for hot pot in the evening.

Shen Nian and her roommates ran into Shen Ximan as soon as they stepped out.

Shen Ximan stopped Shen Nian and said she had something to discuss with her.

Shen Nian didn't want to talk to her and was about to leave with her roommates.

Shen Ximan crossed her arms and threatened, "If you don't want to talk to me, then I'll have a good talk with your roommates."

"Niannian~" Several roommates tugged at Shen Nian, somewhat confused.

Shen Nian didn't want to argue with Shen Ximan, nor was she afraid of what Shen Ximan would say to Wu Sisi and the other two. It was just that she wanted to tell her roommates about her family situation in person, since she considered them her friends.

Finally, Shen Nian asked Wu Sisi and the other two to go downstairs and wait for her.

She looked at Shen Ximan, her face expressionless. "Speak quickly if you have something to say?"

Shen Ximan looked at Shen Nian's face and resisted the urge to rush up and scratch it, because she got angry as soon as she saw Shen Nian's pretty face.

"Did you marry some random guy?"

She still refused to believe that Shen Nian could marry the president of JK Group!
