The Self-display

Yan Shu settled into the Purple Cloud Hall. She was staying in the room to the left of Yuwen Che, while Xiao Jihan occupied the room to the right.

To provoke the Shan family, particularly Shan Zhiqing, Yan Shu and Yuwen Che had decided to "show affection" in public. Yan Shu initially thought that Xiao Jihan wouldn't agree, considering he was petty and possessed an overly strong possessiveness.

Moreover, their "affection display" would likely involve just the two of them being alone together.

However, to her surprise, Xiao Jihan not only didn't oppose the idea but his favorability toward her didn't drop at all. Facing her astonished gaze, he smiled reassuringly, "It's fine. Your safety is the most important thing."

Hearing his words, for some reason, Yan Shu felt a twinge of bitterness. She understood just how much he lacked love and security.
