Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, thought for a moment, and then smiled lightly. “Things are different now. A good actor can’t always remember the glory of the past,” he continued in an encouraging way. “Besides, we’ve already done that take.”

Gu Li, "Don't you think we can strive for perfection?"

Jiang Xu said, "I think it's a good idea," he added halfway through his sentence, "but wouldn't it be fairer to switch roles and have each person take a turn?"

Gu Li said, "Oh dear," with a look that said, "What are you saying?" "We're like family, why are you being so formal with the word 'fair'?"

Jiang Xu nodded, "That's true," indicating his agreement, "Then I'll get right to it." He then bent down.

Gu Li took a step back immediately, "That's enough, that last take is finished."

Jiang Xu withdrew his movement, turned his head towards Gu Li with satisfaction, and said, "Happy wrap-up, Teacher Gu."

Gu Li said, "You're too kind, Teacher Jiang. Let's have some fun together." He turned his head and noticed his bed. "Props team, please restore it to its original state."

Jiang Xu patted Gu Li on the shoulder, "Go for it, the capable should do more."

Gu Li naturally stepped forward and smoothed it out, saying as she did so, "I told you I was better than you."

Jiang Xu: "You won't even let go of this little verbal advantage?"

Gu Li said, "Outstanding people are those who seize every opportunity."

Jiang Xu applauded Gu Li's actions, saying, "You're really good."

The playful glow outside the window vanished completely, replaced by darkness that quietly crept in—night had arrived.

Jiang Xu: "I should go back too."

Gu Li and the other person walked outside. "Yeah, that's true." As they passed the living room, he suddenly stopped. "Why don't you sit for a while longer?"

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Gu Li said to Jiang Xu, “Or you could wait for me by the door, okay?”

Jiang Xu nodded without hesitation and walked towards the sofa, while Gu Li disappeared quickly.

When Jiang Xu sat down on the sofa, he knew that Gu Li had remembered something.

The white roses in the glass bottle on the table are still elegant and charming.

Jiang Xu glanced at the flowers, then subconsciously looked towards the French windows, but the heavy curtains obscured the view of the sky, revealing nothing of it.

He wondered, are there stars in the sky today?

"Jiang Xu".

Jiang Xu saw Gu Li walking over with a bouquet of white roses that had already bloomed. At that moment, he thought, "The stars must be hanging in the sky."

The white roses were carefully wrapped. Compared to the standard packaging of a florist, Gu Li was clearly more casual. His packaging, like himself, was eye-catching and attractive.

"It's just blooming, which means it wants to go home with you." Gu Li handed the flower to Jiang Xu, the person dressed in white holding the white flower.

Jiang Xu thought, no wonder angels are depicted as white.

Jiang Xu took the flower, gently touching the petals with his hand; they were soft and delicate. "You're the person who has given me the most flowers."

Gu Li thought, "These words sound familiar." A bright and beautiful woman began to appear in his memory, who had once held her flowers and said similar things to him.

The memory is clear, yet somewhat blurred by time.

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, "Really?"

Gu Li nodded, as if thinking about something, and said, "Yes, my mother said that too," his tone was gentle, with a hint of nostalgia in his murmur, "Since you've said that, what color of roses would you like next time?"

Jiang Xu: "Let's try something different next time."

Gu Li: "Hmm? Other flowers? What would you like to change them to?"

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, his eyes gentle and warm, "Let me deliver it to you instead."

Gu Li's pupils contracted slightly, her emotions stirred. "Do you know what kind of flowers I like?"

Jiang Xu: "I don't know, but I've thought of a flower that would suit you perfectly."

Gu Li, "What flower?"

Jiang Xu: "Just wait and see, you'll find out soon enough."

After the two separated, Gu Li sat alone on the sofa. He looked at the single white rose on the coffee table, leaned forward with one hand on his knee, and touched the petals with the other.

He's going to send himself flowers, what kind would they be?

The anticipation began the moment I learned about it and will continue until it happens.

Jiang Xu sat on the sofa with flowers arranged in the vase, which was gradually filled. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a clear view of the sky, where the lights in the dark night were distinct and shimmering.

It was Wednesday evening class again, and this time Gu Li simply propped her head up and looked towards the back door, appearing to be casually waiting for someone.

As soon as Zhao Rangwen entered, he saw Gu Li staring at the door. When Gu Li saw him, she even beckoned him with her finger. Overjoyed, Zhao Rangwen immediately went over.

Gu Li spoke first, "Why so late?" He frowned slightly.

Zhao Rangwen quickly spoke up, "I... I'm working a bit time-consuming. Are you not in a good mood?"

Gu Li nodded. "Not in a good mood? Ha," he chuckled softly. "I'm in a great mood."

Zhao Rangwen said, "But I don't look like it. If you're unhappy about anything, you can tell me. I'll definitely keep it a secret." He even made a swearing gesture after he finished speaking.

Gu Li shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it." He couldn't make up a story about his feud with Jiang Xu. "Just say what you want to say."

Zhao Rangwen looked at Gu Li, who was propping her head up, looking listless and unmotivated. He immediately started talking about something he found interesting, hoping that Gu Li would smile at him.

However, he arrived quite late, and before he could say more than a few words, the class bell rang.

Gu Li then revealed a look of lingering interest. "What a pity," he said in a low voice, as if he were genuinely regretful, "can we continue later?"

Zhao Rangwen figured out that shallow warmth one by one, and he nodded and smiled at Gu Li, "Okay." Gu Li seemed to have really improved her mood because of him.

Sure enough, I can make him happy too. Choose me; he's more suitable to stand by Gu Li's side than Jiang Xu.

Gu Li lazily looked at the podium, letting the teacher's words go in one ear and out the other. He thought to himself that although it was also 45 minutes, it felt like it went by much faster when Jiang Xu was there.

Now, he seems to be able to feel the passage of time, slowly passing by second by second.

With five minutes left before get out of class ended, Gu Li opened her phone and sent a message.

Jiang Xu's phone vibrated. Gu Li's message was short, just two words: "Come quickly."

Jiang Xu glanced at his phone and said to the person next to him, "I have something to do."

The team member was very quick to respond, and even took the folder from Jiang Xu's hand, saying, "Go ahead, Minister, can we still have the dessert from last time?"

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "You'll get your share. Thank you for your hard work."

When the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, Zhao Rangwen immediately turned to look at Gu Li. Gu Li dropped the pen from her fingertips, and he stopped and looked over as well.

Zhao Rangwen seemed to suddenly realize that his gaze was too direct. He lowered his head and blinked nervously. "Gu Li, I think I have something else I want to say to you."
