Fu Xiuyuan's well-defined fingers grabbed at the blanket, his eyes surging wildly.
He wanted to, but he could not, nor did he dare to.
His heart trembled violently at the thought of her resistance and tears back then. He was afraid that she would feel disgusted by him.
He was worried that she would leave.
He fell back into a tangle of reason and emotion. He couldn't afford to lose her. However, Shi Jin, who was opposite, did not sense anything. She switched off the lights and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
She knew that Fu Xiuyuan hadn't slept well for several days. Even with the essence of the yao orchid, which could heal his nerves, his stomach had never improved. With Shi Jin around, he could sleep peacefully.
In the dark night, where the eyes could not see, the other senses became clearer.
Shi Jin felt Fu Xiuyuan's arm around her waist and didn't move. She smiled slightly.
Actually, she didn't understand why Fu Xiuyuan had only touched her on the day of her rebirth.
Now she gradually understood. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare to. He was afraid that he would scare her away before she could fully open her heart.
On the day of her rebirth, he had been so angry that he had lost his rationality. That was why he had done such a crazy thing and left her with a very bad experience.
He was making up for it, and waiting. Guarding her as if carefully protecting a soap bubble.
They were both protecting each other's safety.
Shi Jin did not expose him. This was fine too.
Fu Xiuyuan wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tenderly, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
Sometimes, when she wasn't around, sleepiness would quickly drown out his messy thoughts and drag him down into a calm sea.

The next day, Yao Jiahong's car was parked at the entrance of the Orchid Pavilion flower arrangement hall. He had come early in the morning to wait for Shi Jin.
He had already applied for leave from school. Today, she was going to shoot Grace's advertisement.
The driver, Li, saw that he was holding porridge in his hand and had not yet eaten it. He could not help but say, "Brother Yao, you specially took such a long road and queued for more than half an hour to buy porridge from this shop. If you don't eat it, it will turn cold."
"I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat later. You can have yours."
Li didn't say anything and turned to eat his steamed buns. Compared to the light porridge, he preferred the steamed buns which were full of oil and fragrance.
Yao Jiahong came a little early today. He waited for twenty minutes before Shi Jin appeared at the door.
She always liked wearing white shirts, washed-out jeans, and sneakers. However, even such simple clothes could look indescribably beautiful on her.
By the time she got into the car, Yao Jiahong had already put down the partition, separating her from the driver's seat.
"Brother Yao." Shi Jin sat down after greeting him and fastened her seatbelt solemnly.
Yao Jiahong said casually, "1 passed by the Five Willows and bought some porridge for you."
"I've already had breakfast. You should eat."
Yao Jiahong was a little disappointed. Shi Jin used to love this porridge.
She had already put on her headphones and begun listening to something. Occasionally, she would lower her head and write something in her notebook.
Yao Jiahong had no choice but to eat the porridge himself. He didn't even know how to eat it.
The filming location was on the Shen family's territory, and the entire crew had been transferred over from the Shen family's Diamond Music crew. It was much more spacious and bright than their usual filming location, and the equipment was comprehensive. Wen Yongwei and Shi Jin had been assigned a separate changing room and dressing room.
Kang Cheng and Wen Yongwei had already arrived earlier.
As someone who had signed on for Diamond Music and who had been personally requested by Shen Shuangnan, Wen Yongwei could be considered a direct descendant of the Shen family. Since she was unwilling to fall behind others, she naturally had to be more polite and proper than 'outsiders' like Shi Jin.
Shi Jin and Yao Jiahong arrived at the appointed time, and Wen Yongwei's makeup was already done.
When she saw Shi Jin, she took the initiative to greet her. "Shi Jin."
"Morning," Shi Jin replied. Compared to Wen Yongwei's warm and generous attitude, Shi Jin appeared too businesslike.
Wen Yongwei didn't mind at all. "Let's get going."
The director, Luo Qi, was a director at Diamond Music. He had filmed many MVs for Diamond Music's singers and had also created several advertisements for products under the name of the Shen Corporation. Needless to say, he was very capable. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
After Wen Yongwei changed into her costume, she decided to talk to Luo Qi about the shoot.
Speaking of which, even though Wen Yongwei had won the title of 'Ultimate Singer Songwriter', she did not have any filming experience. Everything had to be learnt from scratch.
Fortunately, filming advertisements did not require much experience or acting skills.
Besides, Shi Jin was also a newcomer in this aspect. The two of them did not have much of an advantage. So naturally, the person who communicated with the director first could earn an advantage.
Luo Qi knew that Wen Yongwei was a direct employee of his family, so his attitude was quite good. However, when he saw the clothes and makeup she was wearing, he still had some doubts. "Yongwei, your makeup isn't
right, is it?"
Wen Yongwei looked down at her dress. "There's nothing wrong with it. Director Luo, it's written in the script that a princess and a poor girl will be in the advertisement. The two of them will use Grace cosmetics together. The advertisement's theme is that no matter what identity a girl has, she has to protect herself. With Grace, no matter what identity she has, she can live like a princess and become the princess of her own world."
Because Wen Yongwei was a direct employee of the Shen family and was the champion, while Shi Jin was only the runner-up, and the management contract was in the hands of another company, Kang Cheng and Wen Yongwei naturally thought that Wen Yongwei would play the princess in this commercial. Therefore, she had dressed like a princess the moment she arrived.
The dress was borrowed from a big brand by Kang Cheng. It was extremely elegant and beautiful. The hemline of the dress was decorated with flowers and golden threads, and the imitation diamonds sparkled, broadcasting the princess' identity and status everywhere.
Wen Yongwei didn't finish her sentence, but she had already implied so much.
Luo Qi understood. He said awkwardly, "Yongwei, among the ideas we received, the person playing the princess is... Shi Jin."
Wen Yongwei's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't conceal her embarrassment at all.
Kang Cheng had not expected such a situation. "Director
Luo, are you sure?"
Initially, Luo Qi wasn't sure either. He had thought that his artist would have to use the most exquisite and beautiful makeup. In the original design, Wen Yongwei had indeed been a princess.
However, it was said that this advertisement was very important to the higher-ups this time. The plan was even sent directly to Shen Shuangnan for him to take a look at personally.
Even Shen Shuangnan, who had never cared about the entertainment industry, could see the creativity. It was clear how much the Shen Corporation valued Grace.
