Act like a spoiled brat in the arms of the paranoid master Yao

Chapter 24
The man spoke the most sincere words with his extremely gentle voice.

Si Lan's heart unconsciously missed a beat.

He didn't need to give any explanation, because they just met by chance.

But he did.
For a moment, Si Lan didn't know what to say.

Li Xuyao ​​seemed to see through her unnaturalness, and said softly, "Let's go."

Si Lan answered smoothly: "Yes."

At the garage, Si Lan walked in front of his sports car.

Li Xuyao ​​followed behind her.

Si Lan noticed it, turned around, and looked at him suspiciously.

Li Xuyao ​​asked, "Are you going home?"

Si Lan: "Yes."

"I don't know if you can give me a ride, and I'll go home too." Li Xuyao ​​said with a smile, "They took my car for maintenance and haven't driven it back yet."

Si Lan nodded, "Get in the car."

The two got into the car and fastened their seat belts.

Si Lan started the car and drove out of the Huangting parking lot.

Ten minutes passed, and no one spoke.

Passing the traffic light, Si Lan braked the car.

"I saw the news by chance two days ago—" Li Xuyao ​​seemed to mention it unintentionally, "You will play the second female lead in a movie. It seems to be a very important role. You should be joining the team soon, right?"

Hearing this, Si Lan's expression darkened, he bent his lips as if mocking himself, and finally said in a calm tone, "Maybe I won't act anymore."

Unexpectedly, there would be such an answer, Li Xuyao's eyes deepened.

He really didn't know much about the entertainment circle, but because Li Xingyan was in that circle, he could occasionally hear something from him.

So this is a temporary role change?

He originally wanted to find a topic to talk to her, but he didn't expect that this talk would touch something bad.

Worried about saying bad things again without understanding, he didn't mention it again.

Si Lan looked ahead and asked suddenly, "Why don't you ask why?"

Li Xuyao ​​understood some tongue-twisting words for a few seconds before saying: "If you are willing to tell me, I am happy to be your audience."

Perhaps it was his gentleness from beginning to end that made her feel relieved;
Maybe it's because everything has been kept in her heart for too long, making her want to release it, and he happens to be a suitable candidate;
Or maybe her alcoholism has not completely faded, and she is not very clear-headed at the moment
No matter what the reason was, she now had a very strong desire to confide in her.

"Since you've read the news, you must know that Si Jinghan and I have a lot of grievances. She is backed by the Si family, rich and powerful, so it's impossible for me to get in touch with such good resources.

"When I knew she was going to be the heroine, I anticipated this moment. Do you want to ask, why didn't I resist?"

"Oh." Si Lan sneered, "Maybe it's a habit I've developed since I was a child, or maybe it's because of the guilt in my heart that I let her do all kinds of things.

"It used to be said that I didn't have the strength to resist, but now I have it, but I can't pass the test in my heart."

As long as she thinks of her grandfather lying in the hospital who has not yet woken up, the feeling of revenge against Si Jinghan in her heart will be replaced by boundless guilt and fear.

She was afraid of losing the only old man who regarded her as family.

Regarding Si Lan's life experience, Li Xuyao ​​had vague speculations, but did not investigate.

Hearing what she said, his brows frowned slightly.

"Si Lan, I don't know what you've been through, and I don't know where the guilt in your heart comes from. I only know how to let it go, and what I get in exchange will not be remorse, but will only get worse.

"You should follow your heart to live the life you want. Maybe what you are afraid of doesn't exist at all. Only by crossing that step can you see a different world."

Si Lan quietly listened to the warm voice beside her, as if a heat flowed into her heart, dispelling the coldness.

"It's like there is a foggy forest in front of you. You don't know what's inside, so you don't dare to go in." Li Xuyao ​​looked at the girl's profile tenderly, "But when you have the courage to step in, you will find the It is a different world.

"If you've been afraid and afraid to take a step forward because of the unknown, you'll never be able to find out what it really is."

He used to be cold and taciturn in the eyes of outsiders.

I never thought that one day I would be able to tell such a truth to a person, in front of her life mentor.

In fact, everyone should understand such words in their hearts, but they are just deluded by the authorities.

His voice is warm and gentle, and his words are full of tenderness.

It was this kind of him, like a sharp sword, that cut away the fog that had been blocking Si Lan's eyes, making her feel relieved.

She turned her head and looked at him for two seconds, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Li Xuyao: "I accept this thank you."

He was silent for two seconds and said, "Does this count as a big favor to you?"

Si Lan: "Forget it."

Li Xuyao: "Since that's the case, how about you treat me to dinner?"

"Okay." Si Lan responded casually, "When do you have time?"

Li Xuyao: "I can do it, just watch your time."

Si Lan thought about it carefully.

Now that she has made a decision, it is impossible for her to give up this role. After joining the group, it is hard to say when.

So she said, "Then tonight. What would you like to eat?"

"I can do either, you can choose according to your taste." Li Xuyao ​​said indifferently.

The road ahead was empty, and Si Lan took the time to cast a glance at him, his eyes full of doubts.

Everything is casual, so this person seems a little too casual, right?

As if guessing what she was thinking, Li Xuyao ​​chuckled: "I don't particularly dislike it, nor do I particularly like it. If you have a better restaurant recommendation, you can take me to try it."

Si Lan thought for a while: "All right, let me take a look."

After the words fell, she held the steering wheel with one hand, unlocked the screen of her mobile phone with the other hand and threw it over: "Leave your phone, I will contact you when the time comes."

"it is good."

In a good mood, Li Xuyao ​​entered his mobile phone number into Si Lan's mobile phone, and then pressed the dial button.

When his phone rang, he pressed the hang up button again.

After that, she gave her mobile phone to the past, picked up her own, clicked on the missed call and saved the number.

The car drove into Chengyuan and stopped outside the gate of Eight Buildings.

Li Xuyao ​​opened the car door, got out of the car, waved at the girl in the driver's seat, and said softly, "I'll be waiting for your call."

"Okay." Si Lan responded.

Li Xuyao: "Go back."

Si Lan didn't drive the car away, she looked at the man standing outside the car.

Li Xuyao ​​also looked back at her.

After a while, Si Lan opened his mouth: "You asked me today, can we be friends—"

Li Xuyao ​​didn't expect her to bring this up, and suddenly felt a sense of tension in his heart.

Si Lan didn't let him feel this way for long, and the next second she said, "Yes."
