The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 737: Past and Present Lives

The rain on this day continued until past nine in the evening before gradually subsiding.

By that time, Shi Nuan had already finished washing up and was standing by the window in her pajamas.

Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, she suddenly thought about today’s car accident.

She didn’t see the accident scene because Song Yansheng didn’t let her.

But from the roaring sounds she heard, she could roughly judge that the accident must have been significant.

Casualties were unavoidable.

Life is unpredictable, and human life is extremely fragile. Birth and death is something she has long seen through.

Yet, whenever she hears about it, she still can’t help but sigh.

Song Yansheng came out after washing up and saw Shi Nuan standing on the balcony, then stepped over to her.

Shi Nuan seemed to be lost in thought and didn’t notice.

Song Yansheng directly embraced her waist from behind, very intimately.

Shi Nuan was startled for a moment but did not stop him, allowing Song Yansheng to rest his head on her shoulder.

He softly asked her, "What are you thinking about?"

Shi Nuan pursed her lips, feeling the warm embrace of the man behind her, surrounded by the fragrant scent of his shampoo and body wash, which she found pleasant.

This made her blush a little, but she didn’t panic.

Being close with Song Yansheng wasn’t a first, perhaps she had gotten used to it.

She honestly replied, "I was thinking about today’s car accident. It must have been serious... Tonight, some people are destined to have sleepless nights!"

Song Yansheng was momentarily taken aback, then tightened his hold on her waist, saying, "Don’t dwell on such unhappy thoughts, that’s just how the world is, there are many things we are powerless against..."

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly, she nodded, "Yes, we are powerless..."

The two of them stayed silent for a while.

There was a gentle breeze outside the window, cool, and felt very comforting on the face.

It was very quiet around, occasionally there were bird calls and insect chirps, and the sound of the man breathing.

"Second Uncle..."

"Hmm?"

Shi Nuan pursed her lips, as if hesitating, but eventually asked anyway.

She said, "Second Uncle, do you really believe in things like fate... that it can transcend past and present lives?"

Song Yansheng closed his eyes, inhaling the soft and light fragrance from her, and said, "Yes, I believe!"

"Why?"

Song Yansheng was a man who had experienced life’s hardships and cruelty, the indifference of human nature, and struggled to get to where he was now. He should have seen through many things.

How could he believe in such an elusive existence?

Shi Nuan didn’t believe it.

Song Yansheng hummed slightly, his voice brushing against Shi Nuan’s ear in the night.

Magnetic, pleasant.

He said, "Because, I met Nuannuan!"

Shi Nuan’s heart trembled, a silent warmth surged through her limbs and bones.

Her body moved slightly, turning in Song Yansheng’s arms, and he cooperated, loosening his hold a bit.

Shi Nuan looked up, gazing at the man’s handsome and calm face in the dim light.

And those eyes, as dark as the vast starry sky.

She longed for an ordinary life like that of mundane married couples.

But she felt such a life was too distant, that she would never encounter it in this lifetime.

Marrying Song Yansheng wasn’t what she wanted, she didn’t even dare to hope for a so-called future.

But now, her peaceful life and peaceful heart were all given by this man.

The person least likely to give her these things, yet he did.

She wasn’t made of grass and trees, nor did she have an iron heart; human hearts are warm.

Even though her heart had been cold for many years, it still yearned for warmth.

At this moment, looking at this man, the emotions surging inside her, she herself couldn’t distinguish...
