Chapter 234: 234 You are the only one

“You are the only one.”

“I thought about it all night, why I should give you this privilege, why I can only sleep when you’re by my side, why I still don’t want to divorce you even when you defy me so much. In the end, I finally got the answer that it’s because you… are rooted in my heart, you’re a part of me. That’s why I can tolerate you to such an extent.”

“I really wanted to leave cleanly, but you have already grown in here, and I am helpless. I wanted freedom for the sake of happiness, but if freedom doesn’t bring me happiness, then starting over is still a wasted life.” Shi Lan pounded her own chest as she spoke, “I really don’t like being emotionally involved with others, I don’t want to have attachments.”

“But what can I do? You all insist on squeezing in, you just have to crack my heart open to see if there is still flesh.”

“So, the words tonight, I’ll only say them once, if you keep going missing or disappearing on me, I will truly grant your wish, and choose freedom.”

After hearing Shi Lan’s impassioned confession, Yan Shixiu was completely stunned.

He was very afraid that he was hallucinating, very afraid that he was dreaming.

Before hearing such words, Yan Shixiu had never considered a second possibility, never thought that Shi Lan would stay for him.

Actually, Shi Lan had never seen such a Yan Shixiu, so sensitive, vulnerable, full of anxiety and insecurity.

He had never softened before anyone, even if people pointed at his spine in the past, he had never given in. But on the matter of losing her, he was like a child, seemingly without any support.

Shi Lan opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but before she could, Yan Shixiu suddenly hugged her tightly, “You won’t leave?”

“Wasn’t I clear enough? But I won’t walk Shi Lan’s path again. After all, I now…”

“I understand, I know everything, we’re still Uncle Yan and Little Anlan, as long as you’re by my side, I don’t care about anything else. You’ve given me hope, lit up this hope, so never leave again, I won’t give you a second chance.”

After he finished speaking, it was an almost frenzied kiss, as Yan Shixiu seemed to want to suck all the oxygen from her lungs.

He had already prepared himself for the idea of going separate ways from Shi Lan, not daring to have any more hopes, as long as Shi Lan was alive, that was enough. He had never imagined there would be such a day, that Providence would still favor him.

After a lengthy kiss, they gazed at each other and once again ignited the flame on each other’s bodies, the fire spreading all the way to the bedroom, just one step shy of engulfing everything.

On the messy big bed, their clothes were scattered about, Yan Shixiu held the young miss, trying hard to suppress his desires.

“You…”

Yan Shixiu placed a kiss on Shi Lan’s shoulder, then explained, “You’re only twenty-two, I want you to fully enjoy being pampered and loved before telling me that you are ready, after knowing real love. Your responsibility in this life is only to be free and happy, I swear.”

Tonight, indeed, wasn’t the right time.

The emotions had been too tumultuous just before, and he still hadn’t quite recovered, feeling a little short of breath.

“Let me hold you properly for a while, to let me believe that all of this isn’t a dream.”

The young miss was tired, too lazy to deal with him, and snuggled into Yan Shixiu’s embrace, sleeping like a child.

She should have been sleepless, but she was truly exhausted to the extreme.

Yan Shixiu propped up his upper body, looking down at the person in his arms with joy of having regained what he lost. He watched until he was tired, then lay down next to her, tightly holding Shi Lan, and closed his eyes to sleep.

…

In the wee hours of the morning, just after three o’clock, Shi Lan was awakened by a small cat making noise downstairs.

She propped herself up, saw that Yan Shixiu was sleeping soundly, then put on the president’s robe, tiptoeing downstairs, and turned on the living room’s wall light.

The kitten was hiding behind the curtains, its pair of blue, eerie eyes looking somewhat spooky in the dark.

Shi Lan crossed her arms and picked up the half-finished bottle of sheep’s milk that Yan Shixiu had fed, pouring it into the little bowl.

The kitten sniffed the aroma and scrambled out, looking nothing like the fierce creature it had been just moments ago.

Shi Lan took the opportunity to grab the little guy, and watching its face covered with sheep’s milk, she couldn’t help but laugh before letting it go, “How are you so small? Your dad could flatten you with one foot.”

Embracing the excellent tradition of “whoever provides the milk is the mother,” the kitten, after finishing the sheep’s milk, perked up its tail and ran to rub against Shi Lan’s feet, completely forgetting that just a few hours ago, it was hissing at the young lady.

When Yan Shixiu woke up and didn’t find anyone by his side, he panicked for a moment but then noticed the light in the living room. As he walked downstairs barefoot, he saw a person and a cat in a standoff on the living room carpet.

Yan Shixiu walked over and picked Shi Lan up from the carpet.

“The little thing you picked up woke me up,” the young lady said, slightly annoyed.

“It’s too late today, there’s nowhere to settle it. We’ll make space for it tomorrow,” Yan Shixiu said.

Yan Shixiu then took her back to the bedroom and pinned her down for a fierce round of kisses, making the young lady seriously suspect that Yan Shixiu in his past life must have been some kind of kiss-monster.

…

The next morning, the two of them got up promptly at six. While Shi Lan was still in the washroom, Yan Shixiu had already prepared a simple breakfast.

“So, Sun Ling and Tang Ze both know?”

Shi Lan wiped her face, sat in Yan Shixiu’s arms, and said, “An Lan, who used to be good for nothing, suddenly knows everything, do you think they wouldn’t know? These two idiots even tied me up with a bathrobe belt, afraid I was a blood-sucking foreign demon.”

Yan Shixiu finally let out a light laugh after hearing this.

“If I really were a blood-sucking foreign demon, I certainly wouldn’t fancy them. I’d want to suck… someone like you,” he said.

Yan Shixiu originally wanted to take the opportunity to give the young lady a fiery good morning kiss, but just then, the kitten suddenly hugged his right leg, climbing up all the way.

The young lady promptly got up from Yan Shixiu’s arms and sat aside, “Yan Shixiu, quite obviously, your son is hungry.”

Yan Shixiu, with no choice, stood up to feed the kitten milk.

The two agreed that their way of getting along would still follow the previous pattern; there was no real need for change.

Only those who have exchanged hearts are intimate beyond measure, evidently setting a barrier with others.

Once they got into the car, they relaxed.

The assistant, having seen Yan Shixiu in low spirits last night, thought he would be under gloomy clouds for days. Yet, to his surprise, just by seeing Miss An, his mood instantly went from mostly cloudy to sunny.

At the moment, the two sat in the car, each reviewing documents.

Seeing Shi Lan holding Yan Shixiu’s documents, the assistant joked, “Miss An, can you understand this?”

“I don’t understand,” Shi Lan cooperatively responded to the assistant, then turned her head to Yan Shixiu and said, “Yan Shixiu, why is this old man still around? His performance is clearly dragging us down now. He voted against the Shuangshi merger; what is he trying to do, rebel?”

Yan Shixiu held her hand and rubbed it, explaining, “He was once a great contributor to your success.”
