After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 567: Spinoff: Personally Buried the Past

On her first day back in Beijing, Qi Si took Shen Yan to the selected gravesite, “I’ve had it looked at; this location is the most suitable.”

Shen Yan glanced at the bag by her feet and said, “Then let’s bury it.”

Bury all of the past.

“Don’t you want to pick a date?” Qi Si was taken aback.

“When you’re hurt, you don’t get the chance to pick a date, and I don’t fuss over such formalities. This is just a set of bones; my true soul is still here, and there’s even less need for these rituals,” Shen Yan said with downcast eyes.

Qi Si silently watched her for a moment, “I’ll have someone bring the tools right now.”

Soon, someone brought the tools needed to dig the hole.

Seeing that neither of them intended to help, the person tactfully retreated.

Shen Yan took up the tools and set to work, with Qi Si silently joining her.

She wanted to bury the past with her own hands, and he was there accompanying her.

It took them half a day to get it right.

There was no ceremony, yet it was she who buried her own remains.

“I’ll do it.”

Qi Si carefully cradled the container holding the bones and placed it in the prepared spot.

He laid down a few white flowers and covered them with sand and soil; the gentleness of his actions warmed Shen Yan’s heart.

“Just stand there, I can do it myself,” Shen Yan moved to act but was stopped by Qi Si.

She stepped aside and watched him work attentively, her eyes moistening.

He had also reserved two empty plots next to her, waiting for them to be buried together after a hundred years.

Perhaps others would find it ominous, but for her, it was like a vow!

A mark seared there, never to be erased.

Qi Si didn’t need to say much, he simply acted.

Before long, another person came carrying the gravestone that had been inscribed and left as soon as it was set down.

Qi Si erected the stone and took out vermillion paint to carefully outline the engraved characters.

“Beloved wife?”

Shen Yan was startled by the inscription.

“Is that not the case?” Qi Si asked as if it were obvious.

“Mm, I am your wife.”

Shen Yan watched his crouching figure tracing the letters and smiled.

It all seemed so bizarre to her; she was clearly alive, yet he was erecting such a monument for her, in her presence.

When he finished outlining the characters, he even took out incense and candles from the bag. Shen Yan’s mouth twitched, and she stepped forward to stop his actions, “Mr. Qi, it seems like you’re trying to send me off.”

“…”

Mr. Qi’s expression turned grave, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Then put these things away. I’m still here. If you light these things and burn some joss paper, I’ll really have to leave.” The ritual had gone so far that she feared the heavens might be moved and take her away.

Shen Yan’s words made Qi Si immediately toss the items in his hand back into the bag, saying displeasedly, “This was prepared by them; I’ll have to give them a piece of my mind later.”

Shen Yan laughed, “Seeing you lay this to rest, they surely prepared these out of good intentions. The ignorant are blameless.”

Qi Si grunted, taking Shen Yan’s hand and holding it tightly, “I won’t let you leave.”

“Then don’t burn these things.”

“I won’t.”

Seeing how frightened he was, Shen Yan chuckled, “Qi Si, thank you.”

“Yanyan, if it’s too hard for you, you can go before me.”

“Why think about who goes first or last? Isn’t it good to be together? Qi Si, I hope that when the day comes, we can leave together.” The one left behind suffers too much.

Although she had died before, she did not want to be the one left behind nor did she want to go first; she greedily wanted him to accompany her, having grown accustomed to being a pair, no longer able to go on alone.

Qi Si picked up some water to wash her hands, “We will go together.”

Though Shen Yan said this, when that day truly arrived, she didn’t wish for Qi Si to live any shorter a life than herself.

She hoped he could count a few more years.

Shen Yan stroked the tombstone that Qi Si had personally erected for her, thinking of the first one, then looking at the one in front of her, she felt content and pleased.

That day, they stayed in the cemetery until evening.

The next day.

Shen Yan followed Liu Su into the film crew.

As soon as she appeared, there were leaks about her taking on a major film production.

Online there was a variety of editing and promotion.

Unlike before, she hadn’t even started filming yet, but was already being promoted.

Quite a few fans expressed their anticipation for her movie.

Shen Yan first went to try on the makeup, then filmed a promotional advertisement.

For a film with a prominent female lead, Director Jiang’s favorite male lead was Li Yanbai.

When they met, they still talked and smiled just like old times.

What had happened with Song Xuan was in the past, and Li Yanbai had also let go of Song Xuan.

At the last wedding, Shen Yan had invited him, but he was filming out of town and couldn’t attend, though his red envelope arrived.

Shen Yan knew he was avoiding Song Xuan’s incident to spare everyone embarrassment.

In fact, Shen Yan didn’t care about such matters at all.

It was just that Li Yanbai didn’t want his presence to affect the wedding.

“We’re working together again, but this time the script is a bit special, you and I don’t end up together,” he said.

Shen Yan knew he was talking about the male and female leads in the story.

She smiled and said, “Not every ending can be as one wishes; besides, being apart isn’t necessarily a perfect ending.”

Hearing Shen Yan’s suggestive words, Li Yanbai couldn’t help laughing, “You’re right, parting might be good for both parties.”

The two of them exchanged smiles.

“Yo! The leads are getting along famously. Aren’t you afraid tomorrow’s headlines will be fresh gossip?” A laugh came from behind them, they turned around to see who it was.

It was Zhong Wei.

Shen Yan looked towards Director Jiang.

Zhong Wei said generously, “My boyfriend asked Director Jiang for a personal favor, and got me the role of the second female lead. Emperor Li, I’m your official match in the end!” She finished, playfully winking at Li Yanbai.

Li Yanbai laughed, “Madam is too kind!”

“Rise!” Zhong Wei waved her hand, putting on airs.

Causing the bystanders to chuckle.

Zhong Wei dropped the act, walked over to Shen Yan, and said, “We’ve worked together before, Shen Yan, please advise.”

“Zhong Wei, you flatter me,” Shen Yan had a rather good impression of Zhong Wei.

Zhong Wei, due to a life-saving grace, was particularly fond of Shen Yan.

With the artists cooperating harmoniously, Director Jiang was very gratified.

He just feared conflicts between artists, sparking big news and affecting their filming schedule.

“Yanyan, this is what Mr. Qi prepared for you,” Xiao Zhao, seeing Li Yanbai and Shen Yan talking happily, hurriedly ran over to interrupt.

He handed over the refreshing tea he had prepared to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was somewhat resigned.

Don’t think she didn’t know what Qi Si had told Xiao Zhao – it was nothing but to watch the men around her closely and not let other men get close to her.

But she had to film with the other party, how could she not make contact?

Moreover, the other party was the male lead.

The only thing in the story that could put Qi Si at ease was that the main characters’ love line wasn’t very strong, with emotional expression confined to small movements and eye contact.

But even so, Qi Si still couldn’t completely relax.

Whether in or out of character, no one could get too close to Shen Yan.

This almost obsessive jealousy, had it been anyone else, would have been annoying by now.

But Shen Yan found Qi Si’s behavior particularly adorable; perhaps this is what they mean by love is blind.
