Chapter 115: 115 people and that will do
Before falling asleep late at night, Sun Ling made the bed for Shi Lan and, seeing the human-shaped pillow, she turned her head to ask Shi Lan, “Boss, have you taken the initiative to contact President Yan in the last two days?”
Miss Shi Lan felt a bit guilty and answered, “Nothing to talk about?”
“Don’t you miss him at all?” Sun Ling gave Shi Lan a look of exasperation, “You shouldn’t always wait for others to take the initiative. A person can get tired of not receiving a response for a long time. Look at An Lan, isn’t she a living example?”
“I don’t know what to say,” Miss Shi Lan admitted honestly.
“Why am I suddenly feeling sorry for President Yan? I thought that when you took off to the airport the other day, you had finally come to your senses, but it turns out… it was just a whim. I thought you had truly set your heart free, but as it turns out, you just gave your heart a brief vacation.”
Shi Lan was at a loss for words.
“Don’t you remember anyone’s kindness?”
“I don’t know what is considered good or bad; I only know that all the good I’ve felt in the past required me to exchange benefits, so there’s nothing worth remembering for me.”
After hearing this, Sun Ling paused, then said to Shi Lan, “Sorry, but now you have us, right? Me, Brother Tang, President Yan – whether it’s sincere, I believe you’re smart enough to tell. Though I can’t understand your past life, for us normal folks, it’s simple: reciprocate the feelings. If I’m nice to you and you’re harsh to me, then I can’t keep being nice to you.”
Shi Lan felt that Sun Ling, this kid, really had the potential to be in sales.
The reasoning came one after another, and even sounded quite pleasant.
“In short, care about President Yan from time to time. Don’t let the people around you lose their warmth. Or do you want to be like in your past life? Though you were a wealthy woman, when you died, the people around you were setting off firecrackers, and friends and family were all grinning from ear to ear—is that what you want?”
Being nagged to no end, Shi Lan finally compromised, “I got it.”
Lately, Sun Ling seemed to be getting bolder.
But either way, Sun Ling’s words were, to some degree, useful to Shi Lan. As soon as Sun Ling left, Shi Lan climbed onto the big bed, took out her phone, and scrolled to Yan Shixiu’s WeChat.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of contacting the scoundrel; she just didn’t know what to say.
In the past, they could only talk about official business, but now that they had that kind of relationship, official matters were off-limits, otherwise, she would seem too overbearing.
In the end, she only typed out two characters: “Asleep?”
President Yan replied instantly, “Missing me?”
Iron Straight Lan didn’t know how he came to that conclusion but found his way of thinking somewhat admirable.
Shi Lan: “When will you be back?”
President Yan: “Just got back, but it’s too late, so I didn’t go to the hotel. I’ll visit the set tomorrow. Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you and bring it over.”
Shi Lan: “There’s nothing I want to eat, just seeing you is fine, sleep well.”
Seeing the phrase “just seeing you is fine,” President Yan smiled faintly, at least she wanted to see him. Although he had been in agony for two whole days, in the end, he had waited for this moment.
After putting down her phone, Shi Lan touched where her heart was, feeling quite unfamiliar with this sensation of her heart racing.
She was still very resistant to such impulses, as if a strong sapling was growing in her chest, ready to break through the earth. She really wanted to push this little seed back down, but then she thought of Sun Ling’s words—to completely set her heart free, not just give it a brief holiday. So, she lay down, allowing the uncomfortable yet sweet sensation to pervade her entire being…
