He Junyan felt a bit flustered: "No, no, don't cry, please don't cry. From the mont I agreed to date you, I was genuinely serious about being with you. I'm not playing gas."
Shi Shuan choked up, "Then why does my darling ask such questions? If I were to look down on you just because you're a year older, why would I even date you? Of course, I like you very, very much. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. That's why I'm with you!"
As he spoke, he beca even more upset.
Outside the door, Shi Shuning shuddered, never imagining his big brother could be like this!
He Junyan paused, "I'm sorry, Shuan. I didn't an it that way. I'm just afraid of causing you trouble. After all, as a celebrity, I often have to deal with baseless rumors and publicity stunts.
Moreover, due to the nature of acting, I'm often away from ho. If I encounter scenes that are a bit more risqué, it might upset you, so I..." She had never dared to date, let alone think about marriage.
Shi Shuan sniffled, "Darling, I understand what you an. But don't worry, I'm very sensible. If there are intimate scenes you must film, I'll be jealous, but I won't be angry with you because I truly understand.
I'm not afraid of any rumors about you because I know you love , and all gossip is false. Besides, I can protect you and prevent anyone from trying to ride on your fa."
"So, darling, when you co back, can you take to et your parents?"
He Junyan was naturally moved. Since entering the entertainnt industry, she hadn't relied on her family's connections but had made her own way. The more she experienced, the more she understood.
Despite the glamorous appearance of celebrities, they actually bear a lot of pressure.
Long-lasting marriages are rare in the entertainnt industry, and she feared she might not find the right person, or that long-distance relationships might cool off. So she never dared to date anyone.
But Shi Shuan was an exception. They had grown up together, and she knew him better than anyone. She did have feelings for him, and after all, what girl doesn't long for sweet romance? So when she last returned ho and Shi Shuan confessed to her, she gladly accepted.
Although their relationship was secret, he would video call her every day, sharing funny stories from his life, and most importantly, being affectionate with her. She had truly gotten used to a life with him in it.
He Junyan looked at Shi Shuan on the screen, his loving expression making her face flush. She self-consciously brushed her hair and cleared her throat: "Alright, when I get back, we'll officially et the parents as a couple."
Shi Shuan imdiately beca as happy as a lark.
It was morning where He Junyan was, and her assistant was calling for her. She turned back to the screen and said to Shi Shuan, "I have to go now. Get so rest, and we'll talk again when we have ti!"
"Okay, goodbye Yanyan!"
As the video call ended, Shi Shuan stared at the darkened screen with a silly grin, "Yanyan, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Hearing the silence from inside, Shi Shuning chanically walked back to his room, still unable to accept the fact that his big brother was such a softie.
He couldn't help but call Xiao Jinng.
"Wah, Chubby ng, my brother is actually a little puppy, but why isn't he like that when he beats up!"
Xiao Jinng held back her laughter and analyzed, "Brother Shuning, this is normal. Look at you, aren't you like a little puppy in front of ? You're not like that with others.
See if you're the sa as Brother Shuan, so stop whining."
Shi Shuning thought about it and agreed, so he stopped dwelling on it. He just regretted not recording it earlier. If his brother tried to beat him up again, would playing the recording make him go easier on him?
Ye Wanwan went out on a date with He Junting tonight.
Since He Junting took over the company, he had been increasingly busy. It was rare for them to have ti like this, holding hands and strolling leisurely in the evening breeze.
"Junting, the moon is so full tonight."
He Junting looked up with Ye Wanwan at the moon, "Mm, very full, very bright."
They sat down on a bench by the fountain, and Ye Wanwan sighed, "Junting, ng ng is about to graduate too. Although we'll still see each other every few days, I'm still a bit sad. You'll all be gone from school, and this ti I'll really be the only one left."
He Junting held Ye Wanwan in his arms, "Don't be sad, Wanwan. There aren't many classes in senior year anyway. You can always live at ho and just go back to school for classes."
Ye Wanwan smiled, "That's what I was thinking too."
"Wanwan, have you decided where to intern in your last sester? Why don't you co to the He Group? We could see each other every day."
Ye Wanwan leaned on He Junting's shoulder, "Dad and Uncle said they'd start a brand company for , just like for ng ng, but I don't think I have that ambition."
"Junting, isn't it strange? When I was little, I always told myself to study hard, get into a good university, then earn lots of money to live a good life. I've always strived to make myself excel.
Even after being reborn, I had the sa goal, but now I suddenly feel a bit lost."
She suddenly laughed.
"Junting, do you think it's because I'm already living a comfortable life that I've started to slack off? I can't believe I don't want to strive anymore."
He Junting pinched her cheek: "It's okay if you don't want to strive. I'm here for you."
Ye Wanwan pinched the soft flesh at He Junting's waist, "Junting, I wanted you to encourage , not persuade to give up."
He Junting caught her mischievous hand and smiled, "Then why don't you want to strive anymore? Or rather, when did you suddenly start feeling this way?"
Ye Wanwan thought for a mont, "Well, one night, the thought 'I'm so tired' suddenly popped into my head, and I just wanted to indulge myself.
I want to stay at ho and not go out, not be bothered by anyone or anything. I also want to travel, to see the beautiful landscapes of our country and the sights of the world."
"But then another thought ca up saying, 'You need to study hard, work hard, have your own career.' I don't know why, but I started pondering the aning of my life."
"On one hand, I don't feel like doing anything, but on the other hand, I feel like I can't slack off. I start to wonder, if I don't do well, would my parents be disappointed? I really feel so exhausted."
Hearing this, He Junting felt a pang in his heart and held her even tighter. "Wanwan, you've always been doing great, and your uncle and aunt won't be disappointed in you. If you're tired, take so ti to rest. I'll accompany you on a trip."
"Wanwan, you need to believe that I, your uncle and aunt, Jinng, Jinchen, and the others are all supporting you from behind. We will always be your safe harbor."
