Open your eyes! I've transmigrated into the body of the amnesiac crown prince's vicious gi

Shen Ting sat there and let out a long sigh of relief, but her mind was in complete turmoil.

Isn't Xie Yu'an the female lead in the original book? Why does she know so many things?

In the original book, she was described as a pure and innocent girl who liked Shi Yan, so she took the initiative to steal him away.

But apart from that, there's no scene where she knows about it and interrogates the original owner.

Could it be... that your family found out?

Shen Ting shook his head and quickly suppressed this speculation.

If I remember correctly, the Shi family is decisive and efficient. Once they find Shi Yan, they will definitely go to pick her up in person, rather than sending a nobody like Xie Yu'an to trick her.

Moreover, at this time, Xie Yu'an only had a tiny bit of interaction with Shi Yan.

Shen Ting sighed.

No matter what, she doesn't have much money right now, and even if she hides in a small county town, she won't be able to make a good living.

She planned to observe Shi Yan's reaction first, and at least get her first month's salary before running away.

In the evening, Shi Yan returned after delivering takeout.

As soon as I entered, I saw Shen Ting sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.

He walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ting snapped out of her daze and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I was probably just hot from setting up my stall outside."

Shi Yan was still not entirely at ease.

"Go take a shower, and I'll turn on the air conditioner for you. You can feel the cool breeze when you come back to the bedroom after your shower."

Shen Ting casually hummed in agreement.

As she took a bath, warm water poured down her head, washing over Shen Ting's face and dripping down with her tears.

All the strength she had been pretending to have over the past month crumbled instantly.

She couldn't understand why she was assigned to this godforsaken place.

She was living a perfectly good life in her old world.

After years of hard work, she bought a small house and has a loving mother.

Her life was just beginning.

Despite her complaints, Shen Ting wiped away her tears after taking a shower, took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted her mindset.

She was thinking to herself that, as a teacher, she could also work part-time as a tutor on weekends, earning several hundred yuan a day for just one or two hours.

The rest of the weekend is spent crocheting dolls, which are then sold at a stall in the evenings.

Housing prices in small counties aren't expensive. She can just rent a place first, work for a few years, and then buy a house after accumulating some savings.

But now, she doesn't even have enough money to rent a place.

Shen Ting took a deep breath and pushed open the bedroom door.

Shi Yan was lying in bed when he saw her coming over. He got up and took out a large slice of watermelon from the refrigerator.

"Have some chilled watermelon to cool down." He handed me a spoon.

Shen Ting sniffed, then scooped out the very center piece; it was sweet and refreshing.

While she was eating, Shi Yan gently hugged her from behind.

Shen Ting was stunned for a moment, then the man's warm breath sprayed against her ear.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. We're boyfriend and girlfriend, not strangers."

Shi Yan's voice was soft and sweet, "Even if, as you said before, you did anything to wrong me, I would forgive you."

Shen Ting swallowed hard, recalling what Xie Yu'an had said.

She asked tentatively, "Do you... dislike the old me?"

Shi Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Shen Ting's heart sank immediately.

Just when she thought she was really doomed, she heard him say, "It really is annoying."

"Back then, I did my best to take care of you every day, giving you the best I could, but I never received a kind word from you. The look in your eyes was always one of disgust."

"But at that time I hated myself even more, why could I never meet your expectations?"

Shi Yan noticed that her body was gradually stiffening, and his voice softened, "But now you seem to be easily satisfied, and I'm not so happy about that."

"Because I felt that you had suffered because of me, I gradually lowered my expectations."

Shen Ting opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't say a word.

Shi Yan nuzzled the tip of his nose against her neck.

It feels itchy.

So ambiguous.

Shen Ting shuddered and instinctively wanted to run away.

But the man beside her suddenly grabbed her chin, turned his head and kissed her.

Shen Ting's eyes widened, and she struggled immediately.

But the man was very strong, and she was so breathless from the kiss that she couldn't move at all.

Gradually, Shi Yan loosened his grip on her hand, but found that the woman in his arms was no longer struggling.

Only one hot tear slid out from the corner of her eye.

Shi Yan's heart clenched suddenly, he frowned slightly, and kissed away her tears.

Then he held her tightly in his arms.

"It's okay. If you're not going to be honest with me now, then we can wait until later."

His voice was soft, yet carried weight.

Shen Ting clenched her fists and mentally prepared herself before tentatively speaking.

"I'll tell you the truth once I get my first paycheck, okay?"

"it is good."

Shen Ting didn't know how she managed to remain calm and composed afterward, and went to wash up and go to sleep as if nothing had happened.

Her mind was filled with Shi Yan's presence and his clumsy yet forceful kiss.

After turning off the lights and going to sleep, the strange noises from upstairs stopped, but then I heard a woman's screams coming from next door again.

Shen Ting quickly buried her head in the blanket and quietly moved a little distance away from the edge of the bed.

How embarrassing, I should stay away from Shi Yan.

She had barely shifted a couple of times when someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her back to her original position.

Shi Yan pressed himself tightly against her again.

Shen Ting held her breath, but inexplicably felt something hard pressing against her from behind.

On a whim, she instinctively asked, "You...don't you take your outer pants off when you sleep?"

"Um?"

"Your keychain is digging into my skin."

"..."

Shi Yan didn't speak, only letting out a soft chuckle.

"If you say it's a keychain, then it is."

Shen Ting: ?

What does that mean?
