“Hot… so hot… help me…”
Song Yunlan unconsciously tore at her clothes, her whole body burning as if on fire.
What’s going on? Didn’t she already die? How can she still feel this?!
Her scattered awareness quickly faded. When her fingertips touched something cool, Song Yunlan instinctively craved more…
The man’s veins bulged on his forehead as he gritted his teeth and grabbed her wandering hands.
“Song Yunlan, calm down!”
“Shen Zhiyan?” Song Yunlan murmured unconsciously. “Do ghosts dream too? And even… this kind of dream…”
As her words fell, her small hand slipped into Shen Zhiyan’s clothes.
Feeling the firm, well-built muscles, she only grew hotter.
“Song Yunlan, don’t regret this you’re the one who started it!” The man frowned deeply, his gaze darkening.
“Regret what?” Song Yunlan lunged forward and bit his lips.
Shen Zhiyan, who had been trying to restrain himself, felt his mind go blank in an instant.
What followed was like dry wood meeting raging fire completely out of control…
Two hours later, Song Yunlan gradually regained consciousness.
Only then did she realize she had been reborn back to the very day she and Shen Zhiyan were drugged.
“And you can still be distracted at a time like this? Song Yunlan, don’t you like me even a little?!”
The man’s angry voice sounded above her.
Coming back to her senses, Song Yunlan met his deep eyes and froze for a moment.
“Shen Zhiyan…”
In her previous life, this man had risked everything to avenge her, only to end up imprisoned for life.
Thinking of that shameless couple, Song Yunlan quickly reached out, trying to push Shen Zhiyan away.
Sensing her resistance, the man’s eyes darkened. He turned over and jumped off the kang (heated bed).
“Song Yunlan, since things have come to this, I’ll take responsibility. I know you still have Liang Bo in your heart, I…”
Before he could finish, Song Yunlan hurriedly picked up the scattered clothes and threw them at him.
“Stop talking get dressed and leave now!”
Pressing her lips together, she knew that in just a few minutes, Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian would bring people to catch them in the act.
In her previous life, she had never fully regained consciousness after being drugged, and Shen Zhiyan had also lost himself in it.
Until that shameless pair burst in with others and caught them red-handed.
Liang Bo used the opportunity to break off their engagement and then openly got together with Bai Ruolian.
And what about her?
Her reputation was ruined, and she became the target of everyone’s scorn in the village.
Even though Shen Zhiyan repeatedly wanted to take responsibility, she only had Liang Bo in her heart and refused him.
But she never expected that later, Bai Ruolian would scheme against her.
Teaming up with human traffickers to sell her deep into the mountains, where she ultimately died while trying to escape.
Only after death did Song Yunlan learn that her world was actually derived from a storybook.
And she herself was nothing more than cannon fodder in the author’s pen her family included, all stepping stones for the male and female leads’ success.
As a wandering spirit, she watched her parents and two brothers search for her and seek revenge, only to be plotted against by Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian, meeting tragic ends.
And the man before her this foolish man had even tried to die together with that pair!
But as the story’s protagonists, Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian were protected by fate. Not only did Shen Zhiyan fail, he was instead sent to prison by the two of them.
Song Yunlan had stayed by his side, watching everything he did for her, her heart filled with bitterness.
Until she saw him die in prison with her own eyes after which she lost consciousness.
Unexpectedly, upon waking, she had returned to the very day the tragedy began.
“You’re kicking me out?” Shen Zhiyan frowned, looking at her with grievance.
Seeing that expression, Song Yunlan’s heart tightened with an inexplicable ache.
But now was not the time to feel sorry for this man she knew exactly what kind of person he was.
Always pushing his luck, taking advantage whenever he could.
“If I don’t send you away, should I wait for others to come catch us in the act? Don’t forget I’m still engaged!”
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyan’s face darkened instantly.
Thinking of her obsession with Liang Bo, he clenched his fists, wishing he could rush to the educated youth residence and kill that pretty-boy on the spot.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
“Brother Liang, isn’t it inappropriate for us to barge in like this? What if Sister Song gets angry?”
It was Bai Ruolian’s voice.
Song Yunlan dug her nails into her palm this ungrateful wretch! She had even paid for her medical bills before, yet she turned around and seduced her fiancé.
Gritting her teeth, Song Yunlan restrained herself. Now is not the time to act.
Glancing at the equally dark-faced man beside her, she rolled her eyes.
“Go out through the back window quick!”
As soon as she spoke, she hurried over, grabbed a broom from the corner, and, enduring the soreness in her body, began sweeping.
Just then bang!
Her door was kicked open from the outside.
Before anyone appeared, the voice came first:
“Song Yunlan, you shameless woman! Messing around in broad daylight and putting a green hat on me I won’t let this go today!”
With that, Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian rushed in, followed by a crowd of villagers watching the commotion.
“Liang Bo, what nonsense are you spouting?!”
Song Yunlan flung the broom straight at him, hitting him off guard and drawing a scream.
“Are you dreaming in broad daylight?”
Seeing the situation inside the room, Liang Bo froze in confusion.
“Huh? Where is he? No why are you alone?”
Song Yunlan sneered.
“Then tell me who else should be here?”
Without thinking, Liang Bo blurted out:
“Of course Shen”
Before he could finish, Bai Ruolian stopped him.
“Brother Liang…”
Shen Zhiyan wasn’t someone they could casually drag into this unless they caught him on the spot. But now…
Coming back to his senses, Liang Bo glared at Song Yunlan.
“Don’t think just because I didn’t catch anyone, this is over! Look at this room broad daylight, the bed’s a mess. You’ve clearly been up to no good.
I, Liang Bo, would never marry a loose woman like you. Our engagement is off from now on, we have nothing to do with each other!”
Song Yunlan sneered. This man was determined to smear her name.
“I’ve never seen a man put a green hat on himself! What’s wrong with daytime? Who says I can’t sleep at home during the day?!”
Liang Bo opened his mouth, at a loss for words. Why wasn’t things going according to plan?!
Where did it go wrong?
But no matter what, Liang Bo was determined to break off the engagement today.
He was about to take up his post as a village school teacher he no longer needed Song Yunlan’s support.
He was done with people gossiping about him being a kept pretty-boy.
