Chapter 1818: After Sailing Through a Thousand Sails, You Are the Best

She had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person.

He had no shame himself and was always finding excuses; although she knew full well that Sheng Zihan was making excuses, she had to admit that what he said was indeed the case.

It was very late now, and at such an hour, a decent person with nothing to do would certainly not be out.

In this place, the United States, public security was not as good as back home.

Tian Yuanyuan truly did not want anything to happen to him, but if he stayed... where would he sleep?

She only had one small bed.

She didn't speak, but Zihan already saw her concerns, and he immediately stated, "I can sleep on the sofa, thank you for taking me in."

Tian Yuanyuan:...

The sofa and the bed were in the same space, which was very inconvenient, and besides, she hadn't even agreed yet; how could this guy just take it upon himself to decide?

Forget it, she couldn't just kick him out like this.

The place where she lived was in the north of the United States, where the temperature difference between morning and night was quite large, and she only had one quilt.

Tian Yuanyuan threw her quilt to Sheng Zihan: "You use this."

"What about you?"

"I'm not sleepy; I have a paper due tomorrow, and I need to write it today."

To avoid awkwardness, Tian Yuanyuan decided not to sleep all night and study instead; it wasn't as if she hadn't done that before.

"I'll keep you company; I slept too much this afternoon, so I'm not sleepy either."

Tian Yuanyuan:...

Zihan went to the kitchen to brew coffee, placed the steaming hot coffee in front of Tian Yuanyuan, and sat across from her, watching her.

"Go to sleep; if you watch me, how am I supposed to study?"

"You study your work, I'll look at mine; it won't affect you."

Zihan had an innocent expression on his face, and Tian Yuanyuan was furious.

His very existence was an influence!

She stood her book up to block her line of sight so she wouldn't look at him.

This face was still her weakness.

Reason told her that she could not have any more entanglements with the man in front of her; loving him was equivalent to making herself a target.

But she couldn't control herself, and her heart still raced.

"If you aren't going to sleep, I'm going to sleep."

To cover up her embarrassment, Tian Yuanyuan hugged her quilt back and lay down on the bed fully clothed, but with someone in the room, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

She kept feeling like Sheng Zihan was staring at her.

She opened her eyes, and he really was!

Zihan was sitting on the sofa staring at her.

"What are you doing?" She sat up, clutching the quilt vigilantly.

"Nothing, just looking at you; you go to sleep, don't mind me."

With him by her side, how could she possibly fall asleep?

"Don't look at me; if you look at me, I can't sleep."

"Oh, alright, I'll turn off the light."

"Don't turn off the light!" Tian Yuanyuan stopped him.

A man and a woman alone in a small house, turning off the lights in the middle of the night... it was a bit ambiguous.

Then I'll sit with my back to you, that's fine, right?

Sheng Zihan "thoughtfully" sat with his back to Tian Yuanyuan and picked up one of her books to read.

She didn't even know when she had fallen asleep.

The next day, dawn broke.

She was woken up by the aroma of breakfast.

Sheng Zihan was making breakfast in the kitchen: millet porridge, steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and tea eggs.

It was a very simple breakfast, but it was a taste she hadn't had in a long time.

"Where did the millet come from?"

"I brought it from Jiangzhou; it's millet from your hometown. Taste it and see if the flavor is right."

Actually, there was no need to taste it; just the smell was fragrant.

It wasn't that there was no millet here, but it didn't taste the same.

The millet porridge was already set on the dining table; after washing up, she took a bite, and the taste was authentic—it was exactly this flavor!

"Why would you bring millet?"

"You used to like eating millet porridge for breakfast, and I figured the millet here wouldn't suit your palate, so I brought some."

Tian Yuanyuan's face darkened: "Didn't you say you came here to discuss business? Sheng Zihan, do you take me for a fool? Who brings millet when they're going to discuss business?"

"I do, why?"

Tian Yuanyuan:...

Fine, when it came to bickering, she was simply no match for him.

Since the other party wouldn't admit it, she couldn't just say he must have done it for her, as that would risk being overly sentimental.

"Hmph!"

She finished all the millet porridge, eating two bowls.

For this period of time, her breakfast had been sandwiches or milk and burgers every day; in truth, her stomach was better suited for these Chinese-style meals.

After the two finished breakfast, Sheng Zihan took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning the kitchen and said, "You go to school. Tell me what you want to eat for lunch, and I'll have it ready for you."

Tian Yuanyuan:...

She wasn't stupid; she could hear it—was Sheng Zihan planning to latch onto her and not leave?

"Hey, don't go too far. Once you're done cleaning, leave my house and don't come back."

"Why?" Sheng Zihan looked innocent; he actually asked why.

He even said quite humbly, "Is there something I'm not doing well enough? I'll change. Although my cooking isn't as good as my older brother's, it's still decent. Just wait to eat what I prepare at noon."

Tian Yuanyuan sank her face and made things clear: "Sheng Zihan, is this interesting to you?"

"We have already broken up and have no relationship now. What is the meaning of you hanging around here?"

"I am not like those women out there who scream as if they've won the lottery just by getting your favor. What I want is very simple: one person for a lifetime, but you cannot give that to me."

"We aren't children anymore; we are adults. Can adults stop living so childishly, please?"

Sheng Zihan:...

He wanted to say, give me a chance, I will change.

However, chances had been given, and he truly hadn't seized them.

Asking for a chance now was a bit shameless.

Tian Yuanyuan grabbed her schoolbag and left behind one sentence: "I'm going to school. Close the door when you leave, thanks."

After she left, Zihan thought about it seriously and finally reached a conclusion: do not give up, keep pestering her!

Library.

She actually didn't have classes today. Tian Yuanyuan had come from home to the Library to read, but half a day had passed, and the book in front of her hadn't been turned a single page.

Damn it.

The appearance of that bastard had stirred up her heart, which she had finally managed to calm, into a mess again.

He was the dead knot in her life, the kind that simply could not be untied.

Tian Yuanyuan had used all her strength to make the decision to leave him forever, but this guy had appeared again; what was she to do?

He had many women. Although she was abroad, everything regarding Sheng Zihan always reached her ears.

His news was almost entirely gossip; every day he dated different women. Those women were almost all socialites, all capable women. Being able to hook one would be enough for a man to show off.

And Sheng Zihan was able to handle himself with ease among so many excellent women, playing both sides perfectly.

Compared to those women... she simply couldn't compare; they weren't in the same weight class.

Logically, with so many girlfriends, he should have forgotten her long ago. Why would he travel thousands of miles to chase after her?

Was it because she was different?

Tian Yuanyuan shook her head, wanting to abandon such thoughts.

She tried to shake the person Sheng Zihan out of her mind.

But why was he sitting in front of her?

How did he find his way here again?
