"Lenna, I have good news for you! Director Jason Harvey will come to watch your performance in person tomorrow. He's very much looking forward to your new song. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

As if he had thought of something, Mai Wen added, "Don't worry, he promised to keep your identity confidential."

Gu Youran's heart suddenly trembled, and all the cells in his body became active.

"Mai Wen, this... this is great! I will definitely perform well tomorrow and won't let you all down!"

Mai Wen patted her shoulder gently. "Lennna, I believe you can do it. Tomorrow is the stage to show your true strength."

"However, you should rest well tonight and get enough rest so that you can appear in front of everyone in the best condition tomorrow."

Gu Youran nodded in agreement.

Mai Wen chatted with her for a few more words.

After confirming that everything had been arranged for Gu Youran, he turned and left.

The whole villa became quiet, and she was the only one left.

She naturally returned to her room. Everything here was so familiar and warm.

Gu Youran knew that Mai Wen had always reserved a place for her in this villa.

She is welcome to come home anytime.

This deep friendship gave her more strength and courage in pursuing her dreams.

Gu Youran looked out the window at the brilliant starry sky and said to himself, "Tomorrow, I must let everyone see my brilliance."

Just as she was immersed in this tranquility and self-motivation, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Shi Heng's name appeared on the screen, instantly attracting her attention.

Gu Youran's heart beat faster and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

She quickly answered the video invitation.

On the screen, Shi Heng's familiar face came into view.

However, the scene before her made her heart beat like a drum and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.

For a moment, she forgot what to say and just stared at the screen blankly, her eyes full of amazement and excitement.

On the screen, Shi Heng had just finished showering, his body covered in steam.

The bathrobe was half open, revealing the outline of the collarbone and pectoral muscles.

Her hair was slightly damp, with a few strands hanging loosely.

His eyes were unfathomable, and his facial features were extremely handsome under the bright light.

Drops of water slowly slid down his handsome face.

It passed over the chin, across the chest, and finally disappeared deep into the bathrobe.

Extremely sexy.

Extremely charming.

She's simply a walking hormone.

I have to say, this man is the most handsome man Gu Youran has ever seen in her life.

Gu Youran couldn't help swallowing and couldn't take her eyes off the show.

"Youbao, are you okay? Why aren't you talking?"

Shi Heng's voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Gu Youran finally came back to her senses, bit her lips lightly, and tried to make her voice sound normal.

"Hubby, you...you look so...so beautiful just after taking a shower."

After saying this, two delicate red clouds appeared on Gu Youran's cheeks.

Upon hearing this, Shi Heng smiled even more, with a sly glint in his eyes.

He teased, "Oh? Are you saying I'm only attractive after taking a shower? Am I usually that unattractive to you?"

Gu Youran's face turned even redder, and she waved her hands quickly, her tone anxious.

"No, no. Honey, you are so handsome that my heart is beating fast every moment."

To express my truest feelings.

Gu Youran continued to praise, "But...but you look like the protagonist from a comic book now. It feels unreal to me."

Gu Youran held her cheek with her hand, looking intoxicated.

"I really... really want to hide you in my pocket and take you away."

Shi Heng's heart was warmed by these words.

He chuckled softly, his voice so gentle that water could drip out.

"Youbao, your sweet words make me very happy. However, instead of hiding me in your pocket, I would rather hold you tightly in my arms, feel your warmth, and listen to your heartbeat."

After the words fell, Shi Heng was shocked that he could say such sweet words.

Even without blushing or getting nervous.

The two people's eyes met across the screen, as if they could cross thousands of mountains and rivers and directly touch each other's hearts.

Gu Youran whispered softly: "Hubby, I miss you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Heng's eyes became even gentler.

"I missed you too, Youbao. Just wait a few days and I'll be able to come pick you up."

The two of them cuddled together for a while, sharing their thoughts about each other.

It was not until the night deepened that I reluctantly exited the video call.

Gu Youran held the phone, her heart full of happiness and anticipation.

She knew that no matter how far apart they were, their hearts were always connected.

The night is as dark as ink and everything is silent.

Gu Youran was lying on the soft bed, ready to fall asleep.

The moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains and onto her face.

It adds a touch of softness and tranquility to her.

However, at this moment, a sudden sound broke the silence of the night.

It also disturbed her sweet dream.

"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from outside the window.

Then came the sound of a man's heavy breathing.

Gu Youran woke up suddenly, her heart pounding.

She stood up carefully and took out a special silver needle out of habit.

This silver needle is thicker and longer than ordinary ones.

It was a weapon she had carefully crafted.

There are five such silver needles hidden in the remaining space of the Nine Star Ring.

She would never use these silver needles unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because in the eyes of most people, silver needles are tools for curing diseases and saving lives.

However, few people know that these silver needles can also become deadly weapons.
