Chapter 315: Want to Experience It Once

~8 min read 1,441 words

In fact, Chen Shanni is not a talkative person from the inside out; most of the time, she acts as a qualified listener when interacting with the outside world.

Only in front of a few friends can she express herself without any reservations.

And Shen Yan is one of them.

Although she has been immersed in sorrow these days, she has intentionally or unintentionally paid attention to quite a bit of news regarding Shen Yan. She asked Shen Yan, "You went to Thailand this time to find Xu Zheng, right?"

Uh...

Shen Yan was slightly stunned, once again surprised by the good girl's insight.

She guessed the general situation based on just a few clues.

There was nothing unspeakable about this, so Shen Yan admitted it generously.

"So... last time in Hengdian, you actually agreed to invest in his movie, right?" Chen Shanni continued to ask.

"Yeah! I thought the movie was good, so I invested. I didn't tell you guys because there was no need, and it's too troublesome to explain."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yan admitted this fact again.

And the implication was quite clear.

You little girls have long hair and short knowledge; explaining it to you is just a waste of breath.

At least that is how Chen Shanni understood it, but she showed no signs of anger.

Instead, she nodded knowingly.

She felt that Shen Yan was super man.

After all, whether it is insight, a big-picture view, or social experience, Shen Yan is far superior to the three of them, so why would he listen to the opinions of three little white mice?

A man should have his own decisiveness, just like Dad. When Chen Jun was engaged in the investment field, every move he made was on the cutting edge, and many people advised him not to take risks.

But Chen Jun still did it resolutely.

And the results proved that Chen Jun was the one who was right.

As her knowledge grew, the more Chen Shanni didn't understand her father's behavior before, the more she admired her father's vision now. Starting from scratch to build the family business to what it is today, Dad is truly amazing.

The two chatted aimlessly, and Chen Shanni asked Shen Yan what he would do if Hao Anqi changed her mind one day in the future and came back to find him.

Shen Yan shook his head: "I don't know either. Let's talk about it if that day really comes."

Time passed second by second, and a thick sleepiness swept over.

Finally, Shen Yan could no longer hold on and closed his eyes completely.

Chen Shanni called out twice from over there, but there was no response, so she prepared to close her eyes and sleep.

However, just as she was about to pull up the quilt, for a split second, her right index finger suddenly felt a wave of weakness, but it quickly returned to normal.

Chen Shanni was very clear that this was not an illusion.

When her left hand first showed symptoms, it was just like this, and then it gradually spread to the entire palm.

So... is it the right hand's turn this time?

Next will be the left and right legs, until the whole body is paralyzed...

Thinking of this, tears filled Chen Shanni's eyes again; the progression of the disease was faster than she could have imagined.

She really didn't have much time left.

Looking at Shen Yan on the opposite bed again, Chen Shanni wiped away her tears and finally made up her mind. She got up and walked to the opposite bed, bit her lip lightly, struggled for a while longer, and then lifted a corner of the quilt and gently lay down on it.

The five-star hotel bed was soft and fluffy; bearing the weight of one more person, it immediately sagged, and Shen Yan's body sank along with it.

Actually, Shen Yan wasn't completely dead to the world at this moment, and he had heard Chen Shanni's call, but his sleepiness was too heavy, and he was too lazy to respond.

Who would have thought the little girl would play dirty and pull a midnight sneak attack.

He didn't make a sound to disturb her, wanting to see what the other party was trying to do.

Chen Shanni lay down beside Shen Yan cautiously, trying her best not to make a sound. She could feel Shen Yan's breathing and body temperature, which made her both nervous and at ease.

Under the moonlight, she could roughly make out the contours of Shen Yan's facial features.

Like a thief, Chen Shanni moved slowly and gingerly to his side until her whole body snuggled into Shen Yan's arms, her head resting on that broad, sturdy shoulder, feeling an indescribable sense of security in her heart.

Sniffing the thick masculine scent at the tip of her nose, Chen Shanni's pretty face turned burning hot, her breathing quickened, and her little heart was beating at 120 miles per hour.

She didn't know if doing this was right or wrong, but she didn't want to have any regrets at the end of her life.

Chen Shanni raised her right hand and gently stroked those sharp, well-defined facial features.

Just then, Shen Yan suddenly turned over with his back to Chen Shanni, and his arm accidentally touched Chen Shanni's shoulder. Chen Shanni shuddered, her body instantly stiffened, and she dared not move.

No, what was she afraid of? She had intended to wake Shen Yan up in the first place.

She gently patted Shen Yan's back, calling his name.

"Shanni, what do you want to do?"

The next moment, a low voice echoed in Chen Shanni's ear. Chen Shanni shuddered again and asked stammeringly: "You... you weren't asleep?"

"I was almost asleep, who knew someone would suddenly pop up beside me, you scared me," Shen Yan said.

As the words fell, the room was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of air flowing.

The adrenaline in Chen Shanni's body soared, her whole body was heating up, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Although she had already made up her mind, given her personality, it was truly difficult to bring herself to say such shameful things.

Seeing Shen Yan wanting to get up, Chen Shanni hurriedly pressed forward and hugged him from behind, her right hand wrapping around his lower abdomen, her voice mixed with sadness: "Don't move, my condition seems to have worsened again, my right hand isn't listening to me."

Feeling those exquisite curves, Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat, but it was quickly drowned out by worry, "Then what should we do? Why don't you just go home? The Master said there would be a noble person to help you turn danger into safety; maybe the Master is in Shanghai."

Chen Shanni shook her head stubbornly: "Don't lie to me. This is a society that values science; what kind of noble person could solve Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis? I don't care about anything else now; I only have one wish, can you help me?"

Shen Yan asked what wish. Chen Shanni told him to turn around. Suddenly, a conjecture flashed through Shen Yan's mind, and he felt his throat go inexplicably dry.

N-no... it wouldn't be that, would it?

Judging from Chen Shanni's actions just now, there didn't seem to be any other possibility.

According to common sense, when a pure and beautiful woman takes the initiative to throw herself into one's arms, and it's the kind that doesn't require taking responsibility, Shen Yan had absolutely no reason to refuse.

But that wouldn't be good, would it...

Seeming to sense Shen Yan's hesitation, Chen Shanni's burning body heated up once more.

That was true; in this situation, with Shen Yan's intelligence, how could he not have guessed her intentions?

But reaching this point had already exhausted all of her courage; she truly had no face left to say anything more.

Thus, the room fell into silence once again, as if time itself had frozen.

After another moment, a burst of sobbing and choking broke the brief tranquility.

Shen Yan sighed softly, turned around, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Stop crying, that sort of thing is meaningless."

"Sniff!" Chen Shanni sniffled, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, "I... I just wanted to experience it once; I might not have another chance in the future."

"You won't regret it?"

Chen Shanni caught the meaning in his words, her heart trembled, and then she firmly spat out two words.

"Of course!"
