"I'm a little sleepy," Jiang Yixing said with an awkward smile.

Fortunately, Zhang Meng didn't hold it against her. "Go upstairs and get some sleep. Don't go to the film set tomorrow. Get some rest."

Jiang Yixing took the unexpected day off and went upstairs. When she got to the lobby, she was in a dilemma again.

What floor is my apartment on?

The company provides accommodation, but Jiang Yixing rented an apartment herself. The company provided a subsidy, and she chose it because she valued privacy and security. Moreover, Jiang Yixing had only been renting it for less than two weeks.

As a result, Jiang Yixing can't find any acquaintances now, and it's unlikely he'll ask Zhang Meng either, since who would forget their own home after just one trip out!

Jiang Yixing stood at the elevator door, seriously considering whether he should search floor by floor.

While Jiang Yixing was thinking, someone came up to her side. She turned her head to look and her eyes met the person's.

The visitor paused for a moment, then nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Jiang Yixing was also taken aback. Did he know this person?

With a "ding," the elevator arrived.

The boy entered the elevator and pressed the open button, but Jiang Yixing didn't come in. He poked his head out, a pair of large black-rimmed glasses covering half of his face, and asked, "Aren't you going upstairs?"

"Go up." Jiang Yixing replied briefly and quickly stepped into the elevator.

"You get off work pretty late?" Jiang Yixing asked tentatively.

"Yes, there's something going on at work today."

Ningzhou turned around and noticed the injury on Jiang Yixing's leg. "Is your leg alright?"

Jiang Yixing leaned against the elevator wall, saying, "It hurts a little."

Ning Zhou frowned and stepped forward to support Jiang Yixing's arm. "Do you have any medicine at home? I have some left."

"Thank you."

Jiang Yixing had taken off her ponytail, letting her long hair fall loose. She tilted her head and smiled, which drew Ning Zhou's attention, as if he were seeing Jiang Yixing's beauty for the first time.

The elevator stopped on the 17th floor. Jiang Yixing jumped out of the elevator with one foot on the ground, and the two of them stopped together at the door of 1701.

Jiang Yixing leaned against the wall, waiting for Ning Zhou to take out the keys.

Ningzhou looked at Jiang Yixing, waiting for her to open the door.

The two stared at each other in silence for a long time, long enough for Jiang Yixing to notice that Ning Zhou's eyelashes, hidden under his glasses, were quite long.

Ningzhou finally frowned, and asked uncertainly, "You forgot your keys?"

Jiang Yixing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the doorplate and finally felt a sense of familiarity.

So, this is my home?

Jiang Yixing reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. He tried it, and the door opened.

"Hahaha----" Jiang Yixing awkwardly touched his hair, not knowing what to say, and could only hop back into the room on one foot.

Ningzhou watched her sit down on the sofa. "I'll go back and get my medicine."

Jiang Yixing watched Ning Zhou turn around, take two steps, reach the opposite door, and open the door to 1702.

Jiang Yixing's lips twitched; it turned out to be a neighbor.

Ningzhou soon emerged again, carrying several ointments and a package of gauze.

Jiang Yixing quickly said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing," Ningzhou said, putting his things down and leaving.

Filming continued as usual on the second day, but the atmosphere on set became serious.

The number of bodyguards around Gu Ruini has visibly increased. They were originally hidden in the shadows, but now they are completely exposed. The Gu family is using this to deter those who want to make a move in the dark.

The venue, already unusually serious due to yesterday's incident, became even more tense with the addition of bodyguards.

Where there are people, there is bound to be gossip. When Gu Ruini was on the back, the actors on set started talking about it.

"So, Gu Ruini's family is really rich?"

"Of course! Didn't you see that she called her private doctor with just one phone call yesterday?"

"Yeah, look at the bodyguards surrounding them today, tsk tsk, six or seven of them."

"Did you see that? Her face scared the male actor to death."

"Why the long face? You're acting like a little princess." Someone rolled their eyes.

Some people also thought of Jiang Yixing, "By the way, how is Jiang Yixing who was injured yesterday? There's still no news."

"I don't know. Didn't Gu Ruini take her to the hospital yesterday?"

"You want to know? Then go ask her and see if you dare!" the boy teased his classmate.

His classmate glared at him. "Am I crazy?"

Gu Ruini suddenly walked over from a distance, startling both boys.

When she got close enough, Gu Ruini spoke, "She's fine, but her leg isn't healed yet and she needs to rest."

The two boys looked at each other, unsure of what to say, and could only watch Gu Ruini leave again.

One of the boys blushed slightly and muttered, "It doesn't seem that scary."

Ever since Jiang Yixing returned to the apartment, she has been trying to absorb spiritual energy.

After experiencing it for a while, she realized that the spiritual energy was really thin these days. Even though it took her several hours to successfully establish a connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Jiang Yixing let out a shallow breath. He had been meditating all night but did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt relaxed and energetic.

Jiang Yixing changed his hand gestures, and the spiritual energy around him accelerated its flow. The rising sun shone directly on Jiang Yixing, as if draping him in a thin veil. The spiritual energy was continuously absorbed and compressed, and light green specks of light gradually appeared, inconspicuous under the sunlight.

The light spots danced around Jiang Yixing, gradually entering his meridians.
