He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 281 The Childhood Sweetheart's Guide to Admitting Defeat (Part 31) (End)

“I know Zhou Zhi tampered with her car, but I didn’t say anything.”

Zhou Yan stared intently at the person in his arms, not missing any subtle changes in her expression.

Wen Yan was definitely on his side, but she couldn't be a completely evil person. After all, there was still a living example of the crocodile biting Zhou Zhi a few years ago, and she was also influenced by it, wanting to be a sunny and positive young woman.

But I won't side with him...

Wen Yan glanced at him, who was teetering on the edge of madness, and wondered what the consequences might be.

Oh dear, if I have to say it, what should she say?

Wen Yan felt he was going too far. She buried her head in his broad shoulders, seemingly hesitant and struggling. Finally, she said, "What do you want me to say?"

"Tell it like it is."

“If I tell you the truth, you’ll criticize me again,” Wen Yan hesitated, then decided to be honest: “In my heart, you are important, no, very, very important, so no matter where I stand, I’ll always be by your side.”

Zhou Yan stroked her soft hair and murmured, "Yan Yan, you should persuade me to turn myself in."

Wen Yan:! ! !

Quickly raise your head and look at him with an expression that says, "You're really crazy."

This person is so strange. He's so uneasy, so desperate for trust, so he's taking sides, teetering on the edge of losing control. And now he's asking her to persuade him to turn himself in?!

Playing with her?

Wen Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes and pointed at him with her finger: "Go, go, go, go turn yourself in. Leave me all alone outside. If I ever get my heart set on some wild grass outside, you'll be crying."

He was released from prison a few years later, and lo and behold, his wife was gone?!

This isn't how you show your love and concern.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Zhou Yan, get this straight. Did you commit a crime and you're already turning yourself in? Do you really think prison is some kind of temporary shelter with free food and lodging?"

"Did you modify the car? It was your heartless father who modified it; he deserves to go to jail. Besides, your mother had already gotten in the car and left. Could you outrun four wheels on two legs?"

Sometimes I really want to crack open his skull and see what's inside his head.

Wen Yan thought this, and blurted it out without thinking.

"you."

"My mind is filled with thoughts of you."

The words of complaint stuck in her throat. The sudden confession left her at a loss, unsure whether she should vent her anger.

It was like dousing a raging fire with cold water, leaving only a few scattered sparks.

Especially when looking into Zhou Yan's calm yet obsessive eyes, it seemed as if he was earnestly stating the facts rather than spouting sweet nothings.

Wen Yan didn't know how to respond. If she replied with "You're all I can think about," it would seem too love-struck.

She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and kissed him on the lips, impulsively asking, "Then, suck me out of your brain?"

Zhou Yan was clearly taken aback, seemingly charmed by her adorable and unreliable answer, and burst out laughing, his chest heaving.

He didn't say what he should say, and laughed like a villain.

"Stop laughing, stop laughing." Wen Yan covered his mouth, feeling guilty and flustered. "This room isn't soundproof. If Mom and Dad hear us, then..." (The sentence is incomplete.)

A warm, damp touch came from her palm. Looking at him, she saw him lowering his eyelids to kiss her hand, his soft lips gently caressing it, followed by his tongue…

Has he been provoked again?

Wen Yan quickly released her grip, and it was her lips that were kissed instead.

Zhou Yan was still laughing, the vibration of his vocal cords seemingly conveying the warmth and moisture of the kiss.

Footsteps sounded outside the door. Bai Wan knocked, her tone concerned:

"Xiao Yan, did you hurt your throat?"

Wen Yan quickly pushed Zhou Yan's head away again and replied loudly, "No, I just saw something funny."

"Oh, go to bed early." Bai Wan didn't suspect anything.

"Okay mom!"

After the footsteps faded into the distance, Wen Yan looked down at her head buried in her chest, her coarse black hair slipping through her fingers, her thoughts drifting far away: she was probably going to stay up late.

The college entrance exam results came out quickly, and unsurprisingly, Wenzhou University's admission score far exceeded the previous year's cutoff score, so I'm sure I'll get in.

At the dinner table, Wen Qingshan and Bai Wan discussed which major to choose.

"Computer science is a promising field with a broad market."

"For girls, Chinese Language and Literature is a good choice."

"How about we study law?"

How's the financial and trade situation?

After considering all the options, none seemed quite right. Bai Wan rolled her eyes at Wen Qingshan and said, "You still chose it? It depends on what Xiao Yan likes."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyan, what do you like?"

"Hmm..." Wen Yan thought for a moment, "You don't like any of them?"

Wen Qingshan got anxious: "If you don't like any of them, then what do you want to do in the future?"

Wen Yan said with a very serious expression, like a teenage girl with high school syndrome: "I want to open a zoo and be its director!"

Bai Wan touched Wen Yan's forehead; he didn't have a fever.

Wen Yan removed her hand from her forehead. "I'm not sick. I'm serious. I love animals!"

Zhou Yan, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up: "Opening a zoo is a good idea."

Finally, someone supports me!

Wen Yan was overjoyed: "Don't worry, my zoo will definitely be the most popular ever! And, I've already written the plans!"

He then took out the plan and handed it to the two of them. The two looked at each other, glanced at it, and finally agreed after Wen Yan's persuasion.

Animal medicine is a professional journal.

That very evening, Wen Yan climbed up to the neighbor's window and knocked, her little face full of anticipation: "Come on, let's go find the little crocodile!"

It was another late night, the moonlight was bright and clear, and the summer breeze rippled the surface of the river. Wen Yan was lying on Zhou Yan's back, chattering away about many things.

"How are you going to find it?" Zhou Yan asked.

Wen Yan asked in confusion, "How else can we find it? Just call its name."

Then, she gave Zhou Yan a vivid demonstration of how to call out a name. Wen Yan held up a megaphone and pressed the maximum button: "Little Crocodile!!"

Before a second sound was heard, the crocodile's head emerged from the river.

A sturdy creature came running over, its limbs swaying back and forth. Zhou Yan was surprised to see "excitement" emanating from its head and tail as it swayed from side to side.

The man and the crocodile excitedly hugged each other.

The scene looks...weird no matter how you look at it.

Wen Yan carefully instructed the little crocodile: "Wait a few more days, Mom has found a place and will be able to pick you up soon!"

The crocodile nodded and rubbed against her trouser leg, as if it were being affectionate. Finally, it was too late, and the two reluctantly said goodbye.

Opening a zoo requires start-up capital. Before Wen Yan could even say anything, a handful of bank cards were shoved into her hand when she got home.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Wen Yan looked at Zhou Yan with a sullen expression.

The other person didn't even frown. "I should have given it to you a long time ago. You've been dragging it out for so long."

The Zhou Yan before me was the same aloof little boy I first met, except that compared to his indifference as a child, there was now warmth in his eyes.

Wen Yan's heart is so tender.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes crinkling as she looked at him with a smile: "Brother Zhou Yan, I don't think I've told you yet that I like you, and not just your money."

"You said that when you were a child."

"when?"

"This is our first meeting."

Later, the zoo was established, and Wen Yan became a very responsible director, with Zhou Yan as the director's strongest protector.

Even though the shield is too hard.

After flipping the pancake over and over again, Wen Yan finally understood Zhou Yan's inexplicable question, "If this isn't enough, what will happen if it gets even worse in the future?"

In order to appease her, Zhou Yan successfully mastered a highly skilled massage technique.

Tan Yiyi studied computer science and worked for a well-known company. She didn't date, but later met a guy through a blind date. She still used Wen Yan as a comparison, comparing herself to Wen Yan for the rest of her life.

Wen Yan, on the other hand, lived a happy life.

Zhou Yan passed away first in this world. His eyes, weathered by time, were filled with reluctance as he repeatedly gave his instructions:

"Remember to eat vegetables, don't sleep in cold places at night, leave the zoo to the staff, just go for a walk there every day, don't overwork yourself..."

Mr. Zhou, who was usually a man of few words and believed in doing more than talking, made a rare rambling remark in the last moments of his life.

He still had a lot to say.

But, it was too late.

Zhou Yan gazed into his lover's eyes, reaching out to touch them, his eyes filled with love and reluctance.

Thankfully, she was there during the stolen time.

Will we meet again in the next life?

"Yes, I will come to find you."
