At that time, Shi Nuan was eleven and Song Yansheng was nineteen. His feelings towards Shi Nuan were already different.
But Song Yansheng himself was unaware, and he had no intention of revealing it, thinking that protecting Shi Nuan was nothing significant for him.
As for protecting Song Yansheng's father and mother, he wasn't worried, since his foster father Zhong Jinnan was still in the country and could handle it.
After that, to protect Shi Nuan, he met with Shi Nuan more often, albeit always in disguise and under the guise of surveillance.
Shi Nuan never noticed him, or perhaps she simply didn't bother to notice him.
This situation persisted for about a year until suddenly, Song Yansheng forbid him from contacting Shi Nuan, saying he had entrusted someone else with the task of protecting her.
