What does "The show is about to begin" mean?
Lin Shuang looked up and saw He Zhong looking at her in the mirror with a half-smile, which startled her. But she didn't dare to look away and mechanically forced a smile.
He Zhong propped his elbow on the pillow and made a kneading motion with his fingers. Lin Shuang quickly leaned over and offered her cheek to him.
