She is not my girlfriend.

Yun Qi denied it without even thinking.

"Don't you think saying things like that makes you sound like a jerk?"

Su Ping looked at him in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that he could say such a thing.

Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Yun Qi felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Senior, I really don't like her, please believe me, okay?"

After saying that, he leaned in and tentatively kissed Su Ping on the lips.

A faint scent of alcohol wafted from her lips and teeth, and Su Ping frowned: "You've been drinking?"

Yun Qi cupped Su Ping's face in his hands, his gaze fixed on her rosy lips. His expression was somewhat unpleasant as he repeatedly wiped her lips with his thumb, trying to erase the mark left by that man.

"Senior, I just saw it, he kissed you, right?"

Su Ping looked at him coldly: "So what? Am I supposed to live a life of widowhood for you?"

"No, that's not what I meant. Senior, please wait for me, okay? Wait for me for a few more months, and then no one will be able to separate us."

With red eyes, Yun Qi rubbed against Su Ping's neck in a somewhat out of control, trying to fill the unease in his heart.

Su Ping pushed him away: "You're drunk. I'll pretend tonight's events never happened."

Seeing Su Ping turn away without looking back, Yun Qi stepped forward and hugged her from behind: "Senior, don't you like me anymore?"

Su Ping smiled, speaking with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Yes, you were the one who gave up on this relationship first, but now you're entangled with Feng Qiang while saying you like me. How can I believe you?"

[Ding! The corruption value of the character Yun Qi has decreased by 1%, currently at 14%!]

Su Ping broke free from his embrace and turned around. The smile on her face looked broken under the streetlights, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"You know perfectly well that I would give up everything to be with you, but what about you? You trampled on my sincerity time and time again!"

Faced with her relentless pressure, Yun Qi opened his mouth as if to say something, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

Su Ping wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, then took Yun Qi's hand: "As long as you break up with Feng Qiang now, we can still be like before."

The girl looked up at him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, like a moth drawn to a flame. She was willing to do anything for him, even if there was an abyss ahead and she would be shattered to pieces if he nodded.

As long as he nods.

Yun Qi suddenly regained his senses and pulled his hand away from Su Ping's.

He cannot.

Then he saw the faint light that had finally ignited in those eyes go out.

[Ding! The corruption value of the character Song Qi has decreased by 2%, currently at a total of 12%!]

Su Ping forced a smile, her expression more like a grimace: "In that case, I wish you happiness. From now on, let's part ways and wish each other well."

Watching her walk forward without looking back, as if something was slipping through her fingers, Yun Qi reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Senior, it hurts."

My knees hurt, but my heart hurts even more.

Su Ping brushed his hand away, her voice resolute: "Let's let each other go. I wish you well, and I wish myself well too."

After saying that, he went into the villa without looking back.

[Ding! The corruption value of the character Yun Qi has decreased by 1%, currently at a total of 11%!]

Yun Qi stared at her retreating figure, clenching his fists.

Senior, you can only be mine, no one can take you away.

...

After receiving no response to the group messages sent to Tu Hengchuan for two consecutive days, Su Ping decided to go to the film set to check on things.

After getting a table from He Jia, Su Ping finished breakfast and set off.

Because it's a period fantasy drama, the filming location is in the mountains, and cars can't go up there.

Su Ping parked the car at the foot of the mountain and looked at the winding mountain road in front of her that seemed to have no end.

Very good, he outlived her.

[Host, do you want to climb up?]

Seeing Su Ping rubbing his fists and getting ready, Calabash Brothers asked curiously.

[You believe I can teleport underground? Whoosh, I'm at the mountaintop!]

Haha, really? I don't believe it.

Then why did you ask?

Calabash Brothers: Okay, it's being disliked again.

Before she even reached the halfway point, Su Ping's legs went weak and her stomach was empty.

She had just sat down on a rock less than five minutes before she saw a boy with a backpack appear at the corner of the hill below.

The boy was wearing sunglasses, a short-sleeved shirt, hiking boots, and a bulging bag on his back, the contents of which were unclear.

The boy looked up and wiped his sweat, staring at Su Ping.

"Small screen?"

Su Ping was initially wondering if the exhausted boy was someone she knew, but upon hearing the familiar address, she jumped up from the rock.

"Brother Yichen!"

Xu Yichen watched as Su Ping rushed towards him in a few steps, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

Just as he was about to pat her head like he did when they were little, he saw Su Ping perfectly dodge his hand and rip open the zipper of the backpack he was carrying on his back.

Su Ping's eyes lit up as she looked at the box full of snacks.

She was right. This mountain was so remote that even birds wouldn't lay eggs and dogs wouldn't poop. The male lead would definitely try to bring her some snacks to visit her on set so that she wouldn't suffer.

She just happened to run into it!

She took a bottle of yogurt and a piece of bread from inside, and after thinking for a moment, she also took a bottle of yogurt for Xu Yichen.

"It must have been tough for Yichen to climb up here, right? Come on, have a drink, we're family, don't be shy!"

This overbearing tone startled Xu Yichen, who almost forgot for a moment that it was his own property.

With a travel companion by their side, time seemed to fly by. Although the two didn't communicate much, Su Ping did most of the talking.

[Host, Tu Hengchuan has a scene to film underwater with the female lead tonight, but the actress playing the female lead got her period and fainted from the pain. The director found Song Yifei, who fits the role, to replace her. In the original story, it was this encounter that made Tu Hengchuan notice this unassuming little assistant beside him.]

[The scene of the two embracing in the water was witnessed by the male protagonist, Xu Yichen, who rushed over. The two ended up having a big argument and parting on bad terms. Host, please hurry up and get up the mountain.]

Su Ping, who was slowly climbing the mountain, heard the Calabash Brothers' reminder, glanced at the remaining third of the mountain path, and forgot about her back and legs.

"Brother Yichen, I saw in the weather forecast that it looks like it will rain later. We need to hurry up and get up the mountain."

Xu Yichen was stunned. He had clearly checked the weather forecast before he came, which showed no rain. Had he misread it?

Just as he was about to take out his phone to check again, Su Ping reached out and grabbed his backpack strap, pulling him up the mountain in a sprint.

"Wait, wait, are you sure you're not mistaken? It shows no rain here."

Xu Yichen was in great distress and quickly said...

"Don't ask, the only answer is your phone hasn't been updated yet. Stop talking, give it to me!"
