Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 17: 017 Suicide also has this function?

Shi Lan may have been born a young lady in her previous life, but within the Shi Family household, she started learning various desensitization trainings for herself from the age of eight.

Fear dictated the training, she had once locked herself in a storeroom to watch dark web videos until she could eat while watching without feeling disturbed before she ended this inhumane torment.

From her childhood, the Shi elder had always instilled in her the idea that as the heir to the Shi Family, she could not have any weaknesses.

Therefore, she desperately worked on improving her flaws; whenever she showed a vulnerable side, the Shi elder would relentlessly train her until she became the strongest, because in his heart, the Shi Family could only be number one.

This also led to her mental breakdown and sleep disorders, with insomnia being something that couldn’t possibly be desensitized. Therefore, Shi Lan had a regular psychologist, but this condition improved after her marriage to Yan Shixiu.

After rebirth, Shi Lan feared nothing, whether it be dealing with the nation’s favorite ‘Green Tea’ or being heavily in debt. Yet, she couldn’t solve her insomnia problem; it seemed there were only three solutions in front of her.

Alcohol, medication, Yan Shixiu.

But now, Shi Lan tried to find a fourth option to see if a human-shaped body pillow could save her life.

After Shi Lan left, Yan Shixiu instructed his assistant to immediately select several bottles of red wine to send to Shi Lan; she was a wine connoisseur, so the selection could not appear too deliberately chosen.

He knew Shi Lan loved wine, but he did not understand why.

…

Upon returning to the hotel, Shi Lan received the red wine delivered by the front desk. While it was under Huahai’s name, she had only asked Yan Shixiu for wine earlier, so it was self-evident who had sent it.

Isn’t this sly dog too good at this?

Is this sly dog often flirting with young girls behind her back?

Shi Lan felt pathetic. Why did she have to discover that her backyard was ablaze after being reborn?

Sun Ling watched Shi Lan uncork the wine and, not having heard that An Lan had a drinking habit, reminded her, “We have filming early tomorrow, so perhaps skip the wine? If the crew finds out, who knows how they’ll spin it.”

Shi Lan, as she was pouring the wine, had no choice but to push away the tall glass after hearing Sun Ling’s reminder.

If she really drank herself into sleep, she would definitely not wake up on time in the morning.

Although Shi Lan gave up on drinking, she still earnestly said to Sun Ling, “I have insomnia.”

Sun Ling was immediately frightened, after all, Shi Lan’s persona as the Revenge Queen had taken deep root in her mind. She always felt that Shi Lan’s mental state was unstable. Now that Shi Lan had confessed to insomnia, Sun Ling’s mind raced with thoughts of depression, paranoid schizophrenia, and other psychological disorders.

“Then you drink… If it helps you sleep better, go ahead, I’ll wake you in the morning.”

“But I can’t keep doing this in the long run, so, a human-shaped body pillow, you understand?”

Sun Ling, unaware she had been set up by her female boss, nodded incessantly, “Understood, understood, I’ll get on it right away, I guarantee a 1:1 scale, high-definition, uncensored, long-legged.”

However, why Yan Shixiu? Sun Ling wondered to herself with a tinge of worry. How embarrassing would it be if he found out? @@novelbin@@

Shi Lan seemed to know what Sun Ling was thinking and said with a smile, “Shh, whether it’s the insomnia or the body pillow, it’s my secret.”

Sun Ling felt breathless, thinking she would be stimulated to death sooner or later.

Shi Lan teased Sun Ling for a while, then her gaze fell on those bottles of red wine.

Yan Shixiu, still an enigma to her.

“By the way, the on-site producer asked if you could ride a horse, he was looking for a stunt double. I answered for you, saying you couldn’t,” Sun Ling mentioned as she was about to leave Shi Lan’s room, suddenly recalling the matter.

Little did she know…

“There’s no need for a stunt double, I can ride,” replied Shi Lan.

“But… Tang Ze said you’ve never touched one…?”

“Woke up knowing how to after a suicide attempt,” she jokingly said to Sun Ling.

“Suicide has that function too?”
