Hospital, VIP ward.

When Jiang Yan woke up, he could clearly feel something warm gently touching his face.

First the space between the eyebrows, then the sensitive eyelids, the high nose, and finally...

The faint, cool fragrance lingering around Jiang Yan's nose told him that the person beside him was Qin Wan. Her warm fingertips seemed to pause at the tip of his nose, remaining motionless for a long time.

Just as Jiang Yan was hesitating about whether he should wake up, the warm fingertips moved...

The strange sensation on his lips clearly told Jiang Yan what Qin Wan was doing to him!

thump!

thump!

thump!

My heart pounded like thunder, each beat crystal clear.

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 88.

Just as Jiang Yan was agonizing over whether or not to wake up, Qin Wan's soft murmur drifted over...

"Jiang Yan..."

"Why did you save me...?"

"You're bothering me a lot, and I don't know what to do..."

Qin Wan's words made Jiang Yan subconsciously frown slightly, not understanding the meaning behind her words.

Fortunately, Qin Wan didn't make him ponder for long; her subsequent murmurs resolved his confusion.

"Song Ze and I just broke up not long ago..."

"I was able to let him go because I know he's not worth it, he doesn't deserve it..."

"But I just got over him, so why did I fall for you so quickly..."

"What I'm doing is wrong..."

After hearing Qin Wan's words and considering her serious attitude towards relationships, Jiang Yan understood everything.

For a moment, he felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

What pleased him was her attraction to him and her admission of it.

The worry is that she seems to want to escape her feelings and attraction to him.

It was just because things happened so fast, because she had only recently broken up with Song Ze and quickly fell for him again, that she felt her behavior was irresponsible and scummy.

Jiang Yan subconsciously wanted to refute Qin Wan... but the words caught in his throat.

Although she didn't think Qin Wan was a jerk, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Wan's behavior.

But he still hesitated.

It was simply because he had always treated Qin Wan as a younger sister.

In the instant the wire broke, because it was a critical moment, he didn't think much and instinctively rushed forward to save her.

He didn't regret getting hurt because of her.

He didn't regret realizing he had feelings for her.

only……

He was genuinely unsure how to face her for a moment.

How can we naturally change their relationship without making each other feel awkward?

This was the first time Jiang Yan had ever fallen in love, the first time he had ever liked a girl. He was inexperienced and therefore felt lost and helpless.

Noticing that Jiang Yan's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, Qin Wan's eyes flickered, and she reluctantly removed the warm fingertips that had lingered on Jiang Yan's thin lips for so long.

The warmth on his lips suddenly vanished, and a faint sense of reluctance swept through Jiang Yan's heart...

"Jiang Yan..."

"If only you hadn't left back then..."

"Tell me, if you hadn't left back then, would I have never met Song Ze, let alone been with him?"

Will things be different between the two of us?

Qin Wan murmured a few more times, and just as Jiang Yan was about to speak, a sudden ringtone interrupted him.

By the floor-to-ceiling window in the hospital bed.

Qin Wan was on the phone when she said, "Yes, the doctor said you need to rest for a while, so I'm afraid the filming on set won't be able to be completed."

"Okay, his scenes will be postponed for now. If it really doesn't work out, we can reshoot them later."

"Thank you for your understanding, director."

After ending the call, Qin Wan suddenly left the ward.

Watching her figure disappear through the ward door, Jiang Yan's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

For the next three months, Jiang Yan was forced to be hospitalized under Qin Wan's orders.

I undergo regular check-ups, treatments, and rest every day.

Qin Wan also suspended filming and stayed with him at the hospital every day to take care of him.

She personally cooks three meals a day for him, makes various nourishing soups, and accompanies him on walks and exercises to keep him healthy.

During this time, Song Ze visited the hospital several times, intending to visit Jiang Yan and "incidentally" see Qin Wan.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yan was staying in a VIP ward, and because the two refused, Song Ze made several trips but returned indignant each time.

Three months is neither a long nor a short time.

At least all the supporting roles in "The Legend of Phoenix" have finished filming. Because of the ample time available and the additional investment from Qin Wan and Jiang Yan, the director, assistant director, and screenwriter have had more room to work.

Therefore, the script was further improved, and the later special effects production was given ample time and funding.

Even the supporting characters' storylines were expanded and filmed more thoroughly.

Not to mention the scenes of the main actors, as well as the wonderful scenes of Qin Wan, the leading supporting actress.

On the day Qin Wan and Jiang Yan returned, to show his welcome and respect for them, the director, unusually generous, invited the entire crew to a large group dinner.

After booking an entire floor of a hotel and treating everyone to a lavish meal, the director, in high spirits, once again went all out, inviting everyone to sing karaoke at Kyoto's most expensive and luxurious club.

Upon learning of the director's arrangement, Qin Wan's eyes flickered, and she gave a meaningful glance to the quiet Song Ze beside her.

In the corner, after successfully persuading the director, Song Ze stopped talking and sat quietly to the side, trying to minimize his presence.

Even more unusually, she didn't approach Qin Wan and Jiang Yan anymore, seemingly not wanting to get close to them or be noticed by them.

Qin Wan gently swirled the red wine in her glass, took a small sip, and the crimson liquid stained the corners of her lips, adding an even deeper, more alluring color to her already rosy and captivating lips.

Song Ze kept himself in check, trying his best not to look at Qin Wan, lest their eyes accidentally meet and the emotions hidden deep in his eyes be noticed by her.

But seeing Qin Wan's alluring and intoxicating state while drinking, he couldn't help himself. His eyes were unfathomable, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

Qin Wan!

Once tonight is over, you'll be completely mine!

From this day forward, no matter how deep your love for Jiang Yan may be, you are destined never to be together!

You can only be mine!

Thinking of this, a hint of madness flashed quickly in Song Ze's suppressed eyes.

Qin Wan, with her sharp eyes, caught this slight change in Song Ze's emotions. She paused in swallowing her red wine, and the crimson liquid spilled from the corner of her alluring lips...

It rolled down her fair cheeks, slid down, and finally flowed deep into her loose, casual neckline...

Fortunately, everyone was quite drunk, and not many people paid much attention to Qin Wan.

Even so, the two men who had been keeping their eyes glued to Qin Wan's face darkened and their expressions changed slightly.

Song Ze subconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand.

Jiang Yan was even more decisive. He pursed his thin lips, suddenly stood up, snatched the wine glass from Qin Wan's hand, and, to her surprise, leaned down...
