Chapter 224: 224 can subdue you Chapter 224: 224 can subdue you Shi Lan thought of Yan Shixiu and also of the many secrets she carried within herself, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Yan Shixiu was very open with her, but she seemed to be unable to tell this man anything; she was full of lies.
Shi Lan shared her inner turmoil with Sun Ling, and after listening, Dr. Sun couldn’t help but sigh, “Well, you’re forced into a corner; after all, you can’t really acknowledge each other, can you? That would scare Yan to death, right? Plus, you’ve said that Yan has no feelings for your past life. How about this, be a bit nicer to Yan? Your feelings for him are genuine anyway. Why not show concern for him more often, maybe send him some gifts? Oh yes, when is Yan’s birthday? Has it passed?”
“If I remember correctly, it should be in November… the seventeenth,” Shi Lan recalled.
“1117? Hey? Isn’t that your room number? That’s quite a coincidence.” Perhaps Dr. Sun just mentioned it casually, but it suddenly caught Shi Lan’s attention.
But the hotel arrangements were managed by the crew’s production life coordinator, so it should have nothing to do with Yan Shixiu.
Shi Lan calmed herself down and, before going to sleep, sent Yan Shixiu a WeChat message: “Are you still busy?”
Yan Shixiu: “On my way back to the apartment, miss me?”
Shi Lan: “There’s something… I want to talk to you about.”
Yan Shixiu: “Go ahead.”
Shi Lan: “About the previous ‘Demon’s Journey’ event, I participated in the call for submissions, and the results came out in these last few days. I won an award and might attend Yilong’s award ceremony. Just letting you know, so you’re not surprised.”
After reading the message, Yan Shixiu smiled, and the weariness of the entire day faded away.
He had been aware of this all along and had been wondering, when would the young miss tell him about it?
Given Shi Lan’s nature, she never felt the need to explain her actions to anyone, nor did she require their understanding.
But now that she had volunteered the information, it meant that she didn’t consider you an outsider; she cared about your feelings and wanted to explain.
Yan Shixiu: “Haven’t you just started learning? With your level of drawing, you can still win an award?”
Upon seeing Yan Shixiu’s reply, Shi Lan’s mood relaxed, and she responded: “Please, call me a little genius.”
Yan Shixiu: “Little genius, may uncle have a goodnight kiss?”
Shi Lan: “[Shush] Start a video call before bed.”
Yan Shixiu could be driven crazy by the young miss’s cuteness, and he laughed out loud in the car. The assistant, hearing Yan Shixiu laugh, also relaxed a bit, thinking that only Miss An could allow a tightly-wound Yan Shixiu to relax amidst his busy schedule.
In the middle of the night, they video called. Shi Lan lay in bed, watching as Yan Shixiu put on his pajamas and opened his duvet to sit on the bed.
Shi Lan: “Uncle Yan, you should take care of your health.”
Yan Shixiu zoomed in the camera, tousled his messy ink-black hair, and looked so sexy as he asked, “Are you worried about your future happiness?”
Shi Lan, lying on the bed, replied, “After all, I am only twenty-one.”
Yan Shixiu loosened his pajamas, exposing one side of his chest muscles, and said, “Uncle has muscles, I can subdue you.”
Lately, Shi Lan found it hard to withstand Yan Shixiu’s teasing, especially at times like these. She couldn’t help but blush and feel heated, lucky that the bedroom had only a wall lamp, allowing her to cover her own excitement.
Shi Lan: “Uncle, I’m going to sleep now.”
Yan Shixiu: “What about my goodnight kiss?”
The young miss gave a kiss to the camera and then decisively turned off the video.
Yan Shixiu, you disaster.
Luckily, this disaster came looking for her, sparing other women. Otherwise, Shi Lan really felt the more she thought about it, the more she was at a loss.
