110: Fear of darkness

Fear of darkness

Soon, with the help of the new bulky male lead, Shen Sisi was stripped to her skin along with the male lead himself, and they started posing in all sorts of extremely suggestive ways.0

In the midst of Shen Sisi's despair, they finally finished taking the photos.

The lady promptly walked towards Shen Sisi and chuckled when she saw Shen Sisi's loathful expression. "What, manager Shen? How does it feel to personally experience it yourself?"

"You bitch… When this is over… Just wait… I'll make you kneel by my feet…" Shen Sisi maliciously glared at the girl.

"Oh?"

The corners of the girl's mouth curled up into a shockingly bewitching smile. "What a backbone Manager Shen has… I suddenly realize that I'd be letting you off too easy if I just had you shoot some photos… How about… you shoot a genuine film with that male lead now? What do you think?"

Shen Sisi's face transformed.

"Heh…Shen Sisi, you're nothing but a stray dog Xu Dong picked up back then. What? You haven't grown up yet, but you already have the guts to bite him—your master?" The girl snorted as she lifted Shen Sisi's chin up.

She had zero pity for an ingrate like her.

If Xu Dong didn't save Shen Sisi, who was in trouble, where would Shen Sisi be today?

It would be alright if Shen Sisi didn't feel any gratitude, but Shen Sisi turned around and bit Xu Dong!

It wouldn't be overboard even if a person like Shen Sisi was hacked into thousands of pieces.

Now, she was merely giving Shen Sisi a taste of her own medicine, which could already be considered merciful.

Shen Sisi looked at the girl's cold eyes and shivered, "Bitch! Who the hell are you?"

"Don't worry, you will know soon!"

The girl ordered the director to save the photos and some recordings and send them to her.

She then said to Gong Tianhao, "You should leave now."

Gong Tianhao looked at the girl gratefully, "Thank you for today. But can I ask you a few questions?"

The girl replied mysteriously, "Don't worry, we will meet again soon."

After that, the girl led the two youths out of the set without looking back.

After coming back from the shoot, Qin Yan removed the human skin mask from her face. Only after removing the mask did she feel like breathing again.

She instantly turned from an average looking girl to a beautiful bewitching one.

Initially she had not thought of hiding her identity, but eventually she chose to do so to avoid any trouble. The reason was although she was not afraid of anyone and could even deal with a gang, but it would have been difficult for her to explain her actions since she was perceived to be a high school girl by others.

Now, even if Shen Sisi decide to find out about her or the gang tries to get her information, they were bound to return with empty hands since a person with this face did not exist.

Qin Yan had made this mask after her transmigration to avoid trouble in such situations. Finally, it came to be useful.

She took a shower a changed her clothes. The sky had turned dark and Qin Yan decided to prepare dinner after freshening up.

Just as she came out of her bedroom and proceeded towards the kitchen, the lights went off. Qin Yan's footsteps paused. She was terrified of darkness. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She was not able to think anything as she ran out of her condo and banged the door of the opposite condo repeatedly.

Xi Ting was in the study when lights went off. It seemed like electricity failure. As he proceeded towards the living room to get the emergency light, he heard loud banging on the door. He frowned. 'Who the hell is banging my door,' he wondered angrily.

Just as he opened the door, a girl fell into his arms. Qin Yan hugged him tightly. She was terrified of darkness. It was a phobia that she had developed in the orphanage in her previous life.

She was trembling and couldn't help but hug Xi Ting tighter.

When she was about to breakdown in fear, a bright light suddenly lit up in front of her eyes.

"Are you alright?" A cold and deep voice rang in her ears. In a trance, it was as if there was a gleam in the darkness of her world, and the emergency light in Xi Ting's hands was a gleaming light.

Qin Yan bit her lips tightly until they bled, she wanted to wake herself up and remind herself that she was not in the previous life. Nobody would steal from her and nobody would beat her taking advantage of the darkness.

But the memories of it had been corrupting her body, her memory, and her senses.

Xi Ting grew worried seeing her state. He didn't know why but he remembered his cookie seeing Qin Yan's fear of darkness. She was so strong and her only weakness was that she was afraid of dark. 'Why is this girl so similar to my cookie! Everything is similar!'

"It's okay, something has just gone wrong with the electricity, it will come back in a short while." Xi Ting could not help but comfort the girl in his arms. The woman was shivering like a fallen leaf in his arms.

The woman seemed small and vulnerable; she was so frail he felt as though he would be able to crush her bones with his bare hands.

Gradually, the woman calmed down, but she did not seem okay. She was still trembling all over, and her skin felt cold and clammy.

He reached out to touch the woman's forehead with his palm. As he expected, it was icy cold and slick with sweat.

In actuality, Qin Yan was no longer aware of her surroundings. She had been paralyzed by overwhelming fear, a fear that she had carried with her from her past life.

Her rapid, panicked breathing slowed down. She subconsciously grabbed the man's hand and held it tight, like a drowning man grasping desperately at straws in a river.

She heard a man's voice whisper into her ear.

"Everything will be okay, don't be afraid, this will be over soon."

Xi Ting could tell that the woman in his arms was slipping away. He patted her cheek lightly, but she appeared to have fainted. The lights were still off and the only source of light at hand was the feeble brightness from the emergency light.

He carried Qin Yan in his arms and sat down on the sofa, shifted her so that her head rested on his thighs.

"It's okay, don't be scared…" He placed his hand on the woman's forehead, worried that her prolonged loss of consciousness would have long-lasting consequences for her health.

He moved the emergency light. In the dim light, he saw that the woman lying in his lap had extremely long eyelashes when observed closely. Her small mouth was open as she took small breaths. She was extremely pretty but what attracted him was not her beauty but her similarity to his first love.

Her love for cookies, the taste of her cooking and now even her fear of darkness. All of these things were extremely similar to his love.

When Xi Ting was immersed in his thoughts, the electricity came back. The lights of the living room switched on but the girl on his lap was still unconscious.

Xi Ting saw that Qin Yan's condition was improving gradually. He took a pillow and placed it under the girl's head while he got up to bring a clean towel to wipe her forehead. He also boiled some water for her to have when she regained consciousness.

He brought the towel and wiped the girl's forehead carefully. Her forehead was smooth and her hair was stuck on her face because of sweat. Xi Ting looked at the girl and removed the hair strand stuck on her face.

After a while, Qin Yan opened her eyes. The bright lights pierced her eyeballs and she closed her eyes abruptly. She then adjusted her eyes to the lights and finally woke up.

She looked at the surroundings and realised that she was in Xi Ting's condo. Memories about what happened earlier rushed back to her head at this time.

As the lights went off, Qin Yan remembered she had rushed to Xi Ting's door. She had hugged him as she seeked comfort and his arms gave her a sense of relief and comfort.

Even in her previous life, this had happened once. At that time, she had revealed to her best friend about her fear of darkness. Now the same thing had happened. How was she going to explain all this to him!

As she was wondering this, a face hovered over hers. She saw Xi Ting looking at her with his brown eyes. She got so frightened by seeing his enlarged face in front of her eyes that she stood up abruptly. This made her head bang with Xi Ting's.
