“Um…” Song Tan swallowed nervously.
The warmth in his palm made Song Tan feel a bit shy.
“Here it comes.”
Song Tan : ?
In her ears, after the male and female leads finished kissing, they started fighting again.
Moreover, the scene seemed somewhat brutal.
Song Tan’s eyes were covered, so she couldn’t see, but she could hear.
Listening to the noise, the scene indeed sounded quite scary.
Song Tan couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know?”
“I’ve watched this movie and made a complaint about it before.”
Song Tan : …
“The reputation of this movie is quite polarized.”
Some people find it very enjoyable because the plot twists are always unexpected and intriguing.
But some people find some of the twists in this movie too terrifying, scaring them.
Shen Yin still remembered what the scene looked like after the beautiful kiss, so he covered Song Tan’s eyes in advance to prevent her from getting scared.
While Shen Yin covered her eyes, he also provided a description.
In any case, Song Tan didn’t really pay attention to what he was saying; all her attention was drawn to Shen Yin.
His breath sprayed on her earlobe, giving her a sensation of someone nibbling her ear.
In addition to him covering her eyes, it made her feel enveloped by Shen Yin.
It felt quite secure.
But it also made it easy for her to get lost in the moment.
Song Tan had just admonished herself that they were just acting, not to get too caught up in it.
Now, all she could think was, Who could resist this?
She couldn’t resist.
Shen Yin was even better at this than she was.
Shen Yin didn’t know what was going on in Song Tan’s mind; he just felt the warmth in his hand.
Especially on the tip of Song Tan’s ear, the temperature was particularly high.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, then lowered his head to look at Song Tan, whom he was holding in his arms.
She lowered her head slightly, as if she were a delicate flower protected in his arms.
A faint smile curled up at the corner of Shen Yin’s lips.
She was quite a cute little flower.
The more terrifying scenes had already passed, and Shen Yin released Song Tan.
Song Tan’s eyes regained brightness as she turned to look at Shen Yin.
Shen Yin’s expression was quite serious.
She asked, “Is there anything scary coming up next?”
“I’m not too sure about that.”
The reason he had predicted that scene just now was because it was a classic one, but he wasn’t sure if there were similar scenes afterward.
“Should we not watch this one? Should we change the movie?”
Song Tan had no objections.
While Shen Yin went to change the disc, Song Tan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had come dangerously close to being ensnared.
Fortunately, she was still quite clear-headed.
Shen Yin changed to a more soothing film this time. There were no intimate scenes, but Song Tan’s thoughts were not on the movie but on Shen Yin.
Because… Shen Yin was holding her hand.
He said, “Your hand is a bit cold.”
After saying that, he held her hand to warm it up.
Both of their hands were covered by a blanket, giving them the feeling that they were up to no good under the blanket.
This feeling was a bit exciting.
How could she concentrate on watching the movie like this?
It had to be said that Shen Yin was more skilled in this regard.
Her little tricks seemed quite insignificant in front of Shen Yin.
Song Tan didn’t try to pull her hand away and let Shen Yin hold it.
Honestly, if they hadn’t been forced into marriage but had gone from dating to marriage, the two of them might have been really affectionate.
It was just a pity that their current affection was all an act.
Otherwise, she could have used some seductive tactics.
In her heart, Song Tan was still thinking about how to dissuade Shen Yin from the idea of working at Huo’s company.
As she pondered this, she became quite absorbed.
“Is this too boring?”
Shen Yin asked as he noticed that Song Tan didn’t seem very interested in the movie.
Song Tan regained her senses from his voice.
“No, nothing,” she replied.
Shen Yin looked at her, and Song Tan met his gaze through the dim light.
His expression clearly showed disbelief.
After a moment, Song Tan spoke up, “It’s nothing, I was just lost in thought for a moment.”
“What were you thinking about?” Shen Yin asked.
Song Tan blinked and said, “I was thinking about whether you’d be angry because I offended your Grandfather today.”
After saying that, Song Tan let out a sigh.
Shen Yin raised an eyebrow slightly. “You’re only thinking about this now? Isn’t it a bit late?”
“Although we’re married, and you’re such a gentle person, he’s still your Grandfather. If you feel like blaming me, it’s only natural.”
After speaking, Song Tan sighed again.
Shen Yin said, “Well, it was their fault in the first place, and you were just standing up for me. If I blamed you for it, that would be unfair.”
“Wouldn’t you be angry at them for treating you that way?” Song Tan asked.
In the darkness, Shen Yin sighed softly, “After all, he raised me.”
Song Tan understood.
Someone as gentle as Shen Yin would undoubtedly have some emotional attachment to Old Master Huo, especially since Old Master Huo was his Grandfather and they shared a blood relationship. It was something he couldn’t easily let go of.
The reason Shen Yin allowed her to ‘act out’ might be because he wanted more attention from Old Master Huo? Song Tan couldn’t quite figure out Shen Yin.
Over the years, had he been deliberately keeping a low profile to avoid drawing attention, or was he waiting for the right moment? And was she that right moment?
These were questions she couldn’t ask directly.
But regardless of whether he truly saw her as an opportunity for a turnaround, she had to find a way to keep Shen Yin from getting involved with the Huo family’s business. They were on opposing sides, and she might not be able to shake the Huo family’s position, but she had to make sure Shen Yin stood by her side until she had enough power to protect herself.
Another reason was that she had discovered some shady dealings in the Huo family’s business from the original plot.
Old Master Huo wants Shen Yin to join at this time, it may not be a good thing.
After all, he has ignored Shen Yin for over twenty years, and now he suddenly values Shen Yin?
Song Tan dared to affirm that Old Master Huo had ulterior motives.
“He did raise you, that’s true, but you also have your own life,” she said. “You’ve been teaching at University A for five years, right?”
This year, he was promoted to associate professor, also a highly popular professor at University A.
“I can see that you’re a good teacher. If you go to the company, it might be like starting over.”
Starting over can be quite a blow to an adult.
But Shen Yin said, “Don’t worry, even if I start over, I can still achieve something.”
Song Tan : “…” Just go to hell.
Achieve something.
If you were sold, you’d probably have to pay someone.
Song Tan was a bit annoyed and didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
She remained silent, and Shen Yin didn’t speak either.
When Song Tan looked at Shen Yin after a while, he started watching the movie again.
Song Tan : “…”
Is he really stupid, or is he pretending to be stupid?
Song Tan was so angry that she didn’t finish watching the rest of the movie and fell asleep directly on the sofa.
After she fell asleep, Shen Yin glanced at her half-lying on the sofa and lowered the volume of the movie.
His attention was no longer on the movie but on the light cast on the curtain through the film, which illuminated Song Tan.
He had initially thought that his plan had been exposed, and Huo Yanlin had placed her beside him to keep an eye on him.
Later, he found out that she didn’t seem to be sent by Huo Yanlin.
Of course, she wasn’t sent by anyone else either.
She had stumbled upon him, or rather, she had her own plan.
She must have known that his situation in the Huo family was not good, so she chose him.
Being with someone who is also in a bad situation has a greater chance of survival than being with someone of Huo Yanlin’s status.
If he guessed correctly, she intended to leave him after she had the ability to protect herself.
This little plan was indeed quite clever.
But he liked it.
He liked clever people.
Although this delicate flower was using him, he liked her intelligence.
But she’s still a bit too naive.
The Huo family is insatiable.
They are willing to manipulate Song Zhiwen to force Song Tan into this marriage for the prescriptions she holds, and they are also willing to do other shameless things for the prescriptions she possesses.
Just like this house today, it’s just the old man’s tactics of using both hard and soft methods.
But Song Tan is a bit more difficult to handle than the old man thought thought, she simply doesn’t buy into the old man’s tactics.
Now the old man wants to make a move through him.
Thinking about this, Shen Yin slightly curled his lips, with a somewhat mocking smile.
It’s not that he couldn’t understand the deeper meaning in the old man’s words.
The old man implied that they are still family, and Song Tan is just an outsider.
However, the prescriptions in Song Tan’s hands can further the business of the Huo family.
Only the Huo family can be shameless to this extent.
In order to prevent this little delicate flower in his hands from being destroyed by the Huo family, he is willing to ‘sacrifice’ himself.
Shen Yin got up and lifted the sleeping Song Tan.
Song Tan is very light and soft, he effortlessly lifts her.
She sleeps soundly, and she hasn’t woken up even when they reached the bedroom.
After covering her with a blanket, Shen Yin went to handle things.
Now the Huo family’s attention is all on Project An No. 2, so naturally, he… has to make their efforts in vain.
Song Tan slept heavily this time.
She felt like she had many dreams, even dreams within dreams.
Being chased by zombies, being betrayed by comrades, being…
That moment that lasted only an instant in reality, but it was the apocalyptic world’s three years of nightmare in Song Tan’s mind, and now it keeps replaying before her eyes.
Zombies are not scary, the scariest thing is the people around.
In that apocalyptic world filled with zombies, she met the only friend she ever had.
Song Tan was not someone who could easily open up to others, perhaps it was the environment of the apocalypse, combined with the fortunate encounter of someone she clicked with.
Their friendship was so good.
But Song Tan can’t forget the push that sent her into the horde of zombies, without any emotion.
Or, to put it another way, they were like enemies.
In that moment, many scenes of the two of them working together flashed through Song Tan’s mind.
It’s all fake.
It was fake from the beginning.
That person was only pretending to be friends with her to steal the special medicine in her hand.
Once she’s no longer useful, that person won’t hesitate to push her towards destruction.
Song Tan finally woke up.
After waking up, Song Tan sat up, her back covered in cold sweat.
How did she dream about this?
Song Tan pressed her temples.
She had a rather heavy nap this afternoon, and her mind was filled with fragments of nightmares.
Especially the person she met in the first year of the apocalyptic world…
She hadn’t thought about that person for a long time, but she didn’t expect to dream about that person today.
Why did it feel like it was trying to remind her of something?
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
Thank you!!
