The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 1227 - 1168: Struggle of a Cornered Beast

Indeed, it’s been a long time since they last met, because the person she mentioned to Lv Nan Nan just this noon was Wang Sai.

Seeing Wang Sai, Shi Nuan was a bit stunned because he had lost a lot of weight.

Wang Sai’s appearance couldn’t be considered very handsome, nor was he particularly tall, but when he smiled, it gave people a warm feeling.

It’s the kind that makes people feel very comfortable looking at him.

But now, he’s lost a lot of weight, and there’s a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows. At first glance, Shi Nuan almost didn’t recognize him.

It was only when Wang Sai called out to her that she realized who he was.

Wang Sai seemed to want to say something, not just Wang Sai, Shi Nuan also wanted to speak. Before Wang Sai could start, she stopped him, saying, "Wait a moment, I need to make a call!"

This call from Shi Nuan was to Song Yansheng, asking him to inform the driver to wait for a while.

Shi Nuan didn’t hide anything from Song Yansheng and directly told him, "I have a roommate named Ou Xiaoning, the really cute one, remember? She had a boyfriend, they broke up recently, but they had a four-year relationship. I always thought it was a pity. Now that he’s come to find me, it must be about Xiao Ning. I need to talk to him..."

Song Yansheng was a bit displeased. No matter whose ex-boyfriend the other person was, he was, after all, a man.

Ever since being with Shi Nuan, he rejected all other men, especially those who intentionally approached Shi Nuan.

But he also knew he couldn’t stop Shi Nuan, so he finally compromised, telling her to be careful and to call him if anything happened.

Shi Nuan agreed.

At a café near the Shi Family, Shi Nuan sat down with Wang Sai. When Wang Sai was about to order coffee, Shi Nuan shook her head, refusing, "I’m not drinking. Just order a cup for yourself!"

Wang Sai didn’t object and ordered a cup of black coffee for himself.

Shi Nuan was somewhat shocked because Ou Xiaoning liked drinking milk tea. Occasionally when they went to get coffee, she would add a lot of sugar to it, otherwise, she couldn’t drink it.

And Wang Sai always followed Ou Xiaoning’s preferences. Whatever Ou Xiaoning drank, he would drink the same.

The reason Wang Sai wasn’t considered slim before had a lot to do with Ou Xiaoning, as she was really fond of sweets.

But now, Wang Sai, who had left Ou Xiaoning, actually ordered the bitterest black coffee!

Shi Nuan looked at him and said, "You’ve changed a lot!"

Wang Sai smiled bitterly and replied, "You mean, I’ve lost weight?"

"Not just that..." Shi Nuan said, "Your whole demeanor has changed, and, your tastes too!"

Wang Sai shook his head slightly, "No, I haven’t changed. Actually, I used to be quite a dull person, not fond of sweets. Though I don’t particularly love black coffee, I find its bitterness refreshing. I don’t visit cafés often, but if I do, it’s to savor the bitterness..."

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, "So, you changed a lot for Xiao Ning, didn’t you? Since you care so much about Xiao Ning, why would you easily give her up because of another woman’s return?"

Wang Sai lowered his gaze and remained silent.

Shi Nuan said, "Is there something you’re struggling with? You can tell me..."

After a pause, she added, "You came today because you wanted to tell me, right? I’m more than willing to listen!"

The waiter brought the black coffee and gave Shi Nuan a cup of warm water. The doctor had advised her earlier to avoid spicy and cold things.

Shi Nuan thought it was probably because she caught a cold from falling into the water the day her menstrual period arrived, leading to such advice.

However, she never really liked spicy food anyway, so she didn’t mind.

Wang Sai took a sip of the black coffee, the bitterness not even making him flinch.

After drinking, he still didn’t speak. Shi Nuan was in no hurry, sipping her water and waiting patiently.

After two more sips of the black coffee, Wang Sai finally spoke, "Did you know? I used to have... a brother..."

Shi Nuan furrowed her brows. She didn’t know Wang Sai had a brother.

But it was strange why Wang Sai would mention having a brother at this time.

Still, Shi Nuan figured there was a reason for Wang Sai bringing it up, so she patiently continued listening.

"My brother was six years older than me. I’ve seen his photo; he was much better-looking than I am, very cute and handsome. But unfortunately, when he was five, he had health problems. After numerous checkups, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor, which is... leukemia..."

Shi Nuan was stunned, unable to believe it.

Wang Sai continued, "But back then, the situation wasn’t too dire. The doctor said that as long as a suitable bone marrow could be found, my brother could be saved. Unfortunately, neither of my parents’ blood types matched. You should understand now, the reason I was born was also to... to save my brother’s life..."
