Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 112: 112 I do what I say.

The bracelet was made up of several stars linked together, each star dangling a little moon, and on two of the tassels, there were sparkling white diamonds embedded, as if echoing the tiny square of night sky on her wrist.

Yan Shixiu finished putting the bracelet on her and then leaned down to kiss the scar on her wrist, as if to tenderly cherish her wound.

Shi Lan looked at Yan Shixiu, feeling a complex array of emotions because she had never been treated this way by anyone before.

This prompted her subconscious desire to escape, to run away, counting once in the desert and tonight as another time.

But Yan Shixiu seemed to understand her reluctance and reached out to pull her in, bringing her into his embrace, “I won’t tease you anymore, let’s just forget the kiss, just don’t run away.”

Shi Lan let Yan Shixiu hold her, and her tense emotions suddenly relaxed.

...

For Shi Lan, talking about love was much more difficult than discussing a business deal worth hundreds of millions.

But the man before her insisted on slowly opening up her incredibly tough heart. Shi Lan was annoyed and wanted to resist, yet… deep down, she seemed to crave that little bit of different affection. She could regain her freedom if she just pushed him away, but for some reason, her hands seemed to have suddenly lost their strength.

They hugged for a while, and Yan Shixiu finally released Shi Lan, saying, “I’ll take you out for dinner.”

At that moment, Shi Lan didn’t move but instead looked into Yan Shixiu’s eyes and replied, “I’ll do as I say.”

Then, she took a step forward and pressed her thin lips against Yan Shixiu’s shoulder.

Yan Shixiu was taken aback for a moment, overwhelmed with joy, because he knew all too well how difficult it was to pry open Shi Lan’s heart. He had even prepared for a long-term struggle because he dared not expect Shi Lan to respond every time. How could he bear to demand so much from someone who had lived in hell for so long?

Yan Shixiu patted Shi Lan’s head in encouragement to ease her emotions and said with a smile, “Next time, can you kiss me somewhere else?”

“Don’t push your luck,” Miss Shi gazed at him sharply.

Hand in hand, the two walked along the tree-lined riverside path, occasionally encountering people sitting on chairs enjoying the cool breeze, and from time to time, they could hear someone discussing.

“That couple that just passed by were such a perfect match, weren’t they? Their matching outfits are so lovely.”

“As expected, the handsome young man found himself a beautiful young lady.”

Yan Shixiu walked ahead, probably not hearing much of the chatter, but Shi Lan heard it all loud and clear. Then, she turned her gaze to their tightly clasped hands. Despite the sweat in their palms due to the heat, neither let go of the other.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand why there were so many couples here.

Stealing a handhold, a hug, a kiss didn’t require a highly romantic atmosphere or expensive gifts, yet the heart would be stirred.

When the two returned to the hotel after their date, it was already ten at night. Sun Ling and the assistant still covered for them, so no one in the production crew knew about Shi Lan’s whereabouts. Sun Ling had wanted to gossip with Shi Lan about progress, but she was frightened off by President Yan upon opening the door.

These two, after spending the entire night on a date, still wanted to be affectionate upon returning?

Shi Lan also wanted the dog of a man to go back to his own room, but Yan Shixiu insisted on staying with her until she fell asleep.

However, whether Shi Lan was too excited tonight or something else, she couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning in bed.

Yan Shixiu was browsing Weibo on his phone when he heard the noise in the room and asked, “Don’t you have an early scene tomorrow?”

Shi Lan sat up in bed, feeling frustrated, “I’m going to read the script a bit more.”

Yan Shixiu suddenly recalled what Shi Lan’s psychologist had said, that those with nervous exhaustion could be unable to sleep due to high stress, excessive dejection, or excitement.

He realized he might have done something wrong and beckoned to Shi Lan, “Come here.”
