"Shh." Shi Heng suddenly pinched her waist and turned her around, pressing his forehead against hers. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Gu Youran wanted to ask more questions, but he pushed her gently and pressed her onto the bed.

"Wait, answer me first..." She supported herself with her arms and tried to sit up.

Shi Heng was already leaning on top of her, his fingertips caressing her lips, "Now, think about me wholeheartedly."

His eyes darkened, "Or... am I not doing enough to distract you?"

His kiss fell, gentle but irresistible, the tip of his tongue pried open her teeth and hooked her entanglement.

"Um...door..." She gasped and pushed him away, but he grabbed her wrist and pressed it above her head.

"Locked." He chuckled, his other hand already reaching into her skirt, "When you came in."

His warm palms touched her waistline, "Now, you just need to think about me."

Her protests were completely swallowed up, leaving only faint sobs.

…

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Shi Heng had already woken up, his arm numb from being rested on by Gu Youran, but he was reluctant to move.

The Master's profound warning from last night came back to my mind:

"I hope you can protect her when the time comes."

He gently smoothed the loose hair on Gu Youran's forehead.

No matter what the Master was planning, he would never let anyone hurt her.

"Um... what time is it?" Gu Youran opened his eyes drowsily, his voice hoarse from just waking up.

"It's just past seven o'clock. Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Shi Heng kissed her forehead.

Gu Youran suddenly remembered something, her face flushed slightly, and she glared at Shi Heng, "You deliberately changed the subject last night!"

Shi Heng smiled and hugged her tighter, "No, it's just that the good night is too short..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Youran hit him in the face with a pillow.

"Liar!" She jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, leaving Shi Heng laughing on the bed.

…

During breakfast, Gu Youran deliberately sat as far away from Shi Heng as possible, poking at the fried egg in front of her angrily.

The chef personally cooked and made her favorite scallion oil noodles.

"You'er, try it. It still tastes like the way it did when you were a child." The master smiled and pushed the bowl in front of her.

Gu Youran's eyes lit up, and he temporarily forgot his anger, "Master still understands me the best!"

Shi Heng sat beside them, looking at the porridge in front of him, then glanced at the noodles in Gu Youran's bowl, his eyes dim.

Yun Feiyang keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right and came over to smooth things over. "Mr. Shi, how about I add some side dishes for you?"

Shi Heng said calmly, "No, my stomach is not good, so porridge is enough."

"Your stomach is not feeling well?" Gu Youran finally turned to look at him, her medical instinct taking over. "I just cured you yesterday."

Suddenly realized, "Wait, you are not..."

Shi Heng: "...I'm jealous."

Gu Youran chuckled.

The master glanced at Shi Heng, half smiling, and offered Gu Youran another pickled radish with his chopsticks. "When you were little, this would have given you a few more mouthfuls of rice."

Gu Youran smiled brightly, "Master still remembers!"

Shi Heng: “…”

“Crack!”

The sound of chopsticks breaking made the table quiet instantly.

Gu Youran and Yun Feiyang turned to look at Shi Heng at the same time.

"Sorry, I didn't control the strength well."

Shi Heng put down the chopsticks that were broken into two pieces with an expressionless face, took a tissue from the side and wiped his hands slowly.

The master smiled faintly, as if he hadn't noticed what was happening. "You'er, do you want to perform a few songs for the children later? They are all looking forward to meeting the big star Lenna."

Gu Youran said without hesitation: "Okay!"

She turned to look at Shi Heng, "Hubby, can you record this for me?"

Shi Heng was about to speak when his master interrupted, "Yun Feiyang will be in charge of recording the video. Why don't you help maintain order? The children might get too excited and lose control."

Shi Heng's eyes turned cold, "No need, I..."

"Then it's settled." The master stood up and made the decision without allowing any room for refusal. "Meet in the auditorium at nine o'clock."

Gu Youran was completely unaware of the undercurrent between the two men and excitedly pulled Shi Heng's hand, "I'm going to prepare the guitar!"

…

At 8:50, the four of them walked towards the auditorium.

Gu Youran walked in front holding her beloved red electric guitar, and from time to time she looked back to discuss the songs they were going to sing with Yun Feiyang.

Shi Heng deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with his master. "Master has made very thoughtful arrangements for Youbao's itinerary."

The master looked ahead and said, "She is like my daughter. Naturally, I have to take her into consideration."

"Really? Then why did you say that last night?"

The master paused slightly, turned around and gave Shi Heng a meaningful smile.

"Why does Mr. Shi care so much? Why not think about it carefully? If one day she has to choose between you and me..."

"She will never face this choice." Shi Heng interrupted him, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Because I will never let this happen."

The master chuckled and quickened his pace. "You'er, remember the first time you went on stage you were so nervous you broke your guitar strings?"

Gu Youran blushed and stamped her feet, "Master! Don't mention such embarrassing things!"

Shi Heng looked at the intimate backs of the two and clenched his fists unconsciously.

In the auditorium, more than eighty children and more than thirty staff members were already seated.

Seeing the four people come in, the children stood up in unison, "Hello, Dean Bai! Hello, Sister Gu!"

The master waved her hand lovingly, "Everyone, please sit down. Sister Gu is going to give everyone a surprise today."

Gu Youran walked onto the stage holding an electric guitar, while Shi Heng stood at the side of the stage, holding up his mobile phone and started recording.
