Song Lin glanced at Shen Yi'an lightly: "Can't you speak?"

“...”

Shen Yanan's heart skipped a beat, but the tall figure beside her gave her enough courage.

She smiled at the few aunts who had just been criticizing her.

"Aunt, did your pension exceed ten thousand? Is your son married? Did your daughter marry a billionaire? Have your grandchildren started kindergarten?"

<>

Leave her alone, and don't overestimate your own worth.

"You......" The aunts' faces were practically contorted with anger.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm a straightforward person, but I truly care about you all."

"...."

The aunts fell silent.

Shen Yian also didn't want to make things difficult for them, he turned to look at Mo Auntie and said: "Mom, do you want to go shopping together?"

"No, we won't bother you. I'm going back." Aunt Mo replied.

She didn't want these people to ruin Song Lin and Shen Yi'an's romance. If she had known better, she wouldn't have participated in any middle-aged and senior university activities. What kind of people are these?

She even dared to say that about her daughter-in-law! She threatened to withdraw all funding for the senior college if she went back.

As she was leaving, Aunt Mo stopped in front of Song Lin.

"What's with you, being all lovey-dovey now? You used to pretend to be dead when I asked you to date someone, and now you're making out in the supermarket like there's no tomorrow?"

Song Lin: "..."

Shen Yi'an: "..."

Is your mouth swollen?

She immediately thought of something and took out a small mirror from her bag to check.

It's really swollen! It's burned and swollen!

"Mom, actually..."

"Alright, I get it, newlyweds and all. You two... oh no, you guys go shopping."

Aunt Mo and her friend became acquainted as quickly as they disappeared, leaving Shen Yian no time to say goodbye.

A few seconds later, Shen Yian felt a scrutinizing gaze fall upon him from above.

She raised her eyes slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Was what I just said too harsh?"

"Well, after all, you're the one who can knock a man unconscious with a single punch." Song Lin said with a smirk.

"..."

Shen Yian couldn't laugh anymore, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

That day at the Crystal Hotel, it was so dangerous. How could Song Lin only remember her punching him?

"Not leaving yet?" Song Lin turned around.

Here it is:"He's here."

Shen Yian followed Song Lin, and only then did he realize how dazzling Song Lin truly was.

Just going to the supermarket, he was surrounded by eyes on him, making her not dare get too close to him.

Unintentionally, she was squeezed out of the crowd.

She was a bit helpless, could only push the cart little by little forward. Who knew someone bumped into the shelf, and an entire box of milk fell down towards her.

She wanted to dodge, but there was a stroller blocking her way in front, people surrounding her behind, and a woman holding a baby beside her.

She instinctively raised her hand to block it, whatever she could stop was a help.

At that moment, a long arm stretched over her head and effortlessly stopped the milk carton from tipping over.

"You've had such bad luck." Song Lin frowned.

"I'm so sorry." Shen Yian was about to cry.

"Let's go."

Song Lin put the milk crate away and took the stroller from Shen Yian's hands, shielding her from the crowd.

Although cold, there was no disdain, no complaints.

Shen Yian secretly glanced at him. He still had his beautiful and aloof expression, but she felt that he was a little less distant.

Maybe she just hadn't felt protected by someone in a long time.

Especially after her father's death, her mother's health gradually deteriorated. As the only daughter, she had to shoulder everything alone in front of her mother. She had long forgotten what it felt like to be protected by someone else.

However, Shen Yian didn't think much of it, after all, Song Lin and she were just roommates.

After taking a few steps, a sharp pain came from her mouth and she felt a dryness that felt like wrinkles. It must have been burned.

It would be nice to have something cold to drink right now.

Just as she was thinking, the shopping cart next to her stopped, and a small glass of milk was handed to her.
