After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity
Chapter 348 - 348 343 SchemingChapter 348: Chapter 343: Scheming! Chapter 348: Chapter 343: Scheming! The man casually tied his robe twice before pressing down on her, his cold droplets of water drenching Shen Yan completely.
Shen Yan’s face turned red, half from the coughing earlier and half from the embarrassment he caused her.
Thinking about the injury on her body, she gritted her teeth and harshly pushed away the suddenly overbearing man, “Weren’t you supposed to rest?”
Shen Yan looked down and avoided eye contact.
Without looking, she knew his eyes must be bloodshot red.
Qi Si quietly stared at her, and just when Shen Yan thought he was angry, he gently rubbed his hand on his head and turned back to the bathroom, where cold water cascaded down loudly.
Seeing him pull off the towel and shower under the cold water without even closing the door, Shen Yan didn’t know if he was torturing himself or her.
He probably knew she was attracted to his good physique, so he made such a scheming move.
Shen Yan stepped forward briskly and yanked hard.
“Bang!”
The bathroom door shook as it closed.
She was thankful the hotel’s bathroom wasn’t made of glass, or Shen Yan surely couldn’t have resisted the temptation.
Shen Yan stood outside the door, glaring angrily at it.

Qi Si took a shower for a full twenty minutes before he stopped.
When he came out, he made sure to wrap himself up properly.
Having seen everything already, it didn’t really matter whether he wrapped that cloth around him or not.
Shen Yan turned her back on him, listening to the sounds of him dressing behind her while scrolling through Weibo on her phone.
She tugged at her lip when she saw the trending topics list.
Chu Jinghe was dominating the chart this time.
Several posts were about Chu Jinghe, digging into her past or praising her for whitewashing her image. Everything about Chu Jinghe was laid bare.
If this couldn’t make her fall, Shen Yan had reason to suspect whether she really had some kind of protagonist’s halo.
Or perhaps, her own rebirth was truly related to Chu Jinghe.
No wonder Shen Yan was suspicious of this and that; she had previously thought she had entered into a book’s world.
Since it wasn’t a book’s world, how then had the plot she’d read translated into reality?
And that strange voice…
These were all dubious points.
Even being as clever as she was, she couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Deep in thought, her phone was snatched away, and she was pulled into a slightly cool embrace before being carried to the bed by the man holding her.
“Mr. Qi, holding me like this, aren’t you afraid of taking another cold shower?”
“Don’t talk,” as soon as he spoke, Shen Yan was startled, his voice laden with thick desire, as if the cold shower had done nothing.
No wonder he’d been silent earlier, this voice made her blush and her heart race!
Shen Yan obediently nestled in his arms, saying nothing and not even daring to move.
She still had injuries on her body, and if he found out, she didn’t know how she’d explain to him.
Thinking that Qi Si might divorce her if he learned the truth shattered all of Shen Yan’s romantic fantasies.
Both thought they wouldn’t be able to sleep, yet soon, both drifted off.

“Huff, huff…”
Hot breaths mingled with the cold smell of blood.
The racing heartbeat reminded one of a balloon about to burst, getting faster and faster as the world seemed to be overtaken by raging tides, and in the icy deep sea, a fine neck was gently seized by an almost invisible thread, slowly tightening even more…
Underwater, the person didn’t struggle desperately, showing no will to survive; that beautiful face underwater was smiling.
As if waiting for the final release.
With the thread tightening a bit further, all could end successfully.
Tightening more, the person underwater urged silently.
The icy dark world was suddenly penetrated by a beam of light breaking through the darkness, casting onto the figure in the water, gradually warming the cold body.
The person in the water gently moved their battered body, eyes fixated on the figure in the light.
The person in the light had an unclear face, yet their presence felt warm!
Like a cold gloomy day suddenly struck by a glimpse of dawn!
“Yanyan?”
That person was calling her with a pleasant voice.
“Yanyan? Yanyan…”
The cold body was enveloped by the light, desperately absorbing the sudden warmth bestowed.
The scene dissipated in an instant, and Shen Yan slowly opened her eyes.
Before her was a chest.
Shen Yan blinked and rubbed her face against it.
“Yanyan.”
The husky voice came from above her, and Shen Yan immediately woke up and withdrew.
With that withdrawal, her face turned red.
She had actually crawled inside his clothes and fallen asleep!
It had been a long time since she had dreamt like this, and to do it while nestled in Qi Si’s embrace at that.
As he watched the dazed Shen Yan, Qi Si turned her around, his handsome face suddenly looming close.
…
As Qi Si made a move, Shen Yan immediately stopped what would have been an uncontrollable kiss.
“Alright, I, I’m hungry,” Shen Yan pushed him away, slid off the bed, and put on her shoes.
Her actions were seamless.
Qi Si continued to watch her leave before slowly getting up and heading into the bathroom, where another round of cold water cascaded down.
He looked at the time; he had slept for five hours.
It was unbelievable.
Shen Yan had a soothing effect on him, which intensified his emotions even more.
Shen Yan seemed like someone specially sent to his side, like a beacon of redemption that had suddenly appeared before him.
Thinking of another Shen Yan with the same name, a faint pain surged in his heart.
Although the pain was mild, he still caught it.
His handsome brows, for the first time, deeply furrowed!
He found himself wondering if a complete stranger in such a harsh environment might wish to end it all.
Shen Yan was just outside, what was he thinking about here.
Amidst the chaotic thoughts, something flickered, but he wasn’t quick enough to grasp it.
*
Shen Yan stood on the living room balcony outside the suite, gazing at the galaxy-like brilliant lights.
She wondered if the figure that appeared in her dream was Qi Si.
She didn’t remember ever meeting Qi Si…
Perhaps in some resonant moment in another country, they had a chance encounter.
Shen Yan suddenly recalled in great detail her previous assignments abroad, trying to see if and when she had encountered Qi Si, although it might be just her mind playing tricks, she couldn’t help but dig through her messy memories in search of that figure.
She meticulously recollected from recent to past.
Regrettably, there was no image from earlier.
Footsteps behind her pulled her back to reality, and turning her head to see the neatly dressed Qi Si, Shen Yan blinked, feeling that even just a few steps from this man could make one’s heart flutter.
Qi Si’s pace was steady, just like him.
“Are you hungry?”
Qi Si looked into her eyes and asked.
Shen Yan suddenly smiled, wanting to ask if they had met somewhere before, but then she swallowed the words before they could escape her lips.
Wasn’t asking that like admitting to something?
Qi Si felt that Shen Yan was tempting him again.
“Yanyan, my self-control crumbles in front of you.”
“…”
Shen Yan quickly suppressed her smile.
Qi Si seemed to sigh, then pulled her into his embrace, holding her, “Did you just have a nightmare?”
Shen Yan was startled, “Did I say something strange?”
“No.”
Just frowning.
Shen Yan, even in her nightmares, was calm.
Hearing this, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
“How long will Mr. Qi be staying here?” Shen Yan stepped back from his embrace and looked up to ask.
“I’m temporarily staying in the country,” Qi Si wouldn’t mention the dangerous situations outside to Shen Yan.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan’s brow furrowed.
That meant he could leave the country at any time.
