Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

"Then what will make you happy?" Si Nian asked.

"Do I really need to teach you this?"

Si Nian turned to the side and kissed him on the cheek. "Like this?"

Xie Jingyao paused slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. "Don't think that a kiss is all it takes."

"Then what else do you want?"

Xie Jingyao lowered his eyes and did not reply.

The car had been driving for more than ten minutes.

He then spoke again, "Can you do what I say?"

"You have to tell me. How can you know if I don't tell you?"

"I want you to love me again."

Si Nian's forced smile froze for a moment.

She had considered that Xie Jingyao might make all sorts of unreasonable demands.

She even considered promising him things she had refused to do when they were dating.

I never expected Xie Jingyao to make such a request.

"Can't you do it?" Xie Jingyao asked.

Si Nian fell silent, looking at the scenery outside the car window, which quickly passed by.

Because she had truly loved Xie Jingyao before, and Xie Jingyao had witnessed her love for him, she dared not make a promise lightly.

Because it's difficult to install, and even more difficult to actually do it.

Xie Jingyao did not press Si Nian to continue replying.

The two remained silent. After parking the car outside the hospital, he led Si Nian to the ward where Feng He was under supervision.

Two police officers were standing guard outside the ward.

Upon seeing Xie Jingyao and Si Nian, he opened the door and let them in.

"Mr. Xie, the visit is only allowed for ten minutes; we can't let it drag on for too long."

Xie Jingyao nodded, stopped in his tracks, and gestured for Si Nian to go inside by herself.

Si Nian hurriedly entered the ward. Feng He was on the hospital bed, and the nurses were changing the bandages on her head.

"Mom," Si Nian called out.

Feng He quickly turned around and her eyes immediately welled up with tears when she saw Si Nian: "Nian Nian."

To make it easier to sew and apply medicine, Feng He had a lot of her hair shaved off.

Seeing the stitched-up wound on her skin, Si Nian couldn't help but tear up.

After changing the gauze, the nurse left the room.

Si Nian glanced at the people guarding the door.

As she wiped away Feng He's tears with a tissue, she asked in a low voice, "Mom, what happened?"

"Niannian, I really didn't mean to, I really had no choice, they want to kill me."

"Who? Your cellmate?"

"I don't know who ordered them, whether they have a grudge against me or not, they all want to kill me."

Si Nian hugged Feng He and patted her back reassuringly, "Mom, don't be afraid... I won't let you die, I will definitely find a way to save you."

"The doctors here want me dead too." Feng He cried even harder.

"How could this be? Did something happen? Did someone do something to you?"

Feng He shook her head. "Don't ask anymore, Niannian. If you know too much, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

"But how can I help you if you don't tell me? And when you called me that day, you said your cellmate choked you in the middle of the night and you had no choice but to fight back, but I saw the surveillance video of the conflict between you..."

Feng He nodded, "She attacked first, I was just acting in self-defense."

Si Nian couldn't help but say, "But the surveillance video shows that this was premeditated. It wasn't your cellmate who was choking her, it was you. You almost strangled her to death, and then the violent conflict between you two occurred!"

"How could that be? I didn't." Feng He looked at Si Nian with a surprised expression and retorted seriously.

"But I looked at the surveillance footage very carefully, and it really was you."

"Niannian, someone framed me. They all wish I were dead. I really didn't do it. Don't you believe me?"

Si Nian frowned.

Before seeing the surveillance video, she truly trusted Feng He completely.

But if, as Feng He said, she is innocent, then who is the woman who brutally attacked her fellow inmates under surveillance, aiming to kill them?

Feng He bit her lip, gripping Si Nian's hand tightly as if she had grasped a lifeline.

"Niannian, are you still blaming me? Is that why you don't believe me? I didn't protect you well when you were little, and Mom really knows she was wrong. I've tried my best to make it up to you..."

Feng He cried bitterly, tears streaming down her face.

When the topic of childhood came up, Si Nian turned her face away, instinctively not wanting to respond.

"Niannian, I will continue to atone for what I did before. As long as you can forgive me, I will do anything. Even if you ask me to kill Zhou Lin again and dig him out of his grave, I will do it."

Si Nian's eyes turned cold, and she placed the tissue in her hand in front of Feng He's lips, silencing her from saying anything more.

But the ward door was suddenly pushed open the next moment.

The two policemen looked sharply at Si Nian.
