They are not on the same page as us at all.
Guo Xiuyun sighed, "Fortunately, Chen'er is very filial and treats us very well. It's not for nothing that we've doted on him all these years. I'm just afraid that he'll be deceived by Chi Baiyi in the end and get nothing, and we'll be implicated as well."
Chi Po-yu also shares this concern.
They were still waiting for Chi Chen to take care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days, but if they ended up without any money because of Chi Chen, then they would be in a very miserable situation.
Guo Xiuyun suddenly came up with an idea.
"Chi Baiyi's demotion of veteran employees and promotion of younger ones has angered many of the company's long-time staff, and everyone is very dissatisfied with him. If we unite with these people to deal with Chi Baiyi, would our chances of winning be greater?"
Chi Boyou thought for a moment and said, "This is a good idea! We can try it. We can't just sit here and wait to die, letting Chi Baiyi keep riding on our heads."
Guo Xiuyun nodded emphatically in agreement.
...
At the same time, Qin Yuanyao felt that it was about time, and she had finished talking about everything she needed to talk about. She should go back to the hotel to prepare for filming the next day.
Hearing that she was leaving, Chi Baiyi looked at Chi Naoqi.
Just as he expected, Chi Cheese showed an expression of deep reluctance.
"Sister Qin, can you stay a little longer?" Chi Nao asked pitifully, holding Qin Yuanyao's hand.
Although Qin Yuanyao was reluctant, she still had to work, earn money, and build her career.
“It’s already nine o’clock. If it’s any later, Sister Qin won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning.”
"Then can you stay until tomorrow morning? You can stay with me tonight," Chi Nao said again.
Just as Qin Yuanyao was about to refuse, Chi Baiyi spoke up at the right moment.
"Why don't you leave tomorrow morning? Cheese hasn't seen you for days and misses you a lot. I'll have the driver take you directly to the film set tomorrow morning."
Qin Yuanyao hesitated.
Is she going to stay overnight at Chi Baiyi's house?
Although she wanted to stay overnight because of Chi Cheese, it would always lead to speculation if word got out.
"Please, Sister Qin." Chi Nao shook Qin Yuanyao's arm: "You can teach me to write! You haven't taught me to write in so long."
Qin Yuanyao: "..."
She clearly taught her to write during the last episode of the show when she had nothing to do in the afternoon. It can't be that she hasn't taught her in a long time.
but……
"Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow morning," Qin Yuanyao agreed.
Chi Cheese cheered with joy.
Ignored by the two, Chi Baiyi also revealed a faint smile of satisfaction.
That night, Qin Yuanyao not only taught Chi Naozi to write, but the two also took a bath together, applied lotion together, and slept on Chi Naozi's bed smelling wonderful.
Chi Nai was nestled in Qin Yuanyao's arms, sleeping soundly.
Qin Yuanyao was quite tired after filming all day, and she fell asleep quickly.
She had a dream.
In my dream, there was a raging fire.
She stood in the fire, with nowhere to escape and unable to see her surroundings.
She felt incredibly hot all over, and it became difficult to breathe, as if she would be devoured by these demonic flames at any moment.
She wanted to run, but her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she couldn't move them at all.
Suddenly, she spotted a person in the fire.
The person was wearing a yellow mask with a red dot between the eyebrows.
She stood there, stunned.
This mask... isn't it the one Chi Cheese has been looking for? Why is it here?
Just as she was about to get a better look, the person suddenly disappeared.
She looked around, trying to find that person.
But no matter how hard she searched, there was nothing around her except the fire.
Just as she was about to give up, another figure appeared in the fire.
However, the figure was different from the one wearing the yellow mask from before, both in height and build.
On the contrary, the figure seemed more like Chi Baiyi.
"Chi... Baiyi?" Qin Yuanyao called out tentatively.
A figure moved within the flames, and Chi Baiyi's voice rang out: "Run!"
"But...I...I can't move," Qin Yuanyao said. "Why are you here too? Where is this?"
However, Chi Baiyi did not answer her, and he was nowhere to be seen in the fire.
"Chi Baiyi? Chi Baiyi?" Qin Yuanyao shouted into the void.
The next second, the raging fire, like a ferocious monster, engulfed her completely...
Qin Yuanyao, who was lying in bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
She was covered in sweat, and when she realized it was just a dream, her tense body relaxed considerably.
Thank goodness it was just a dream... Thank goodness it was just a dream...
The helplessness and despair she felt in her dream were so real, as if she had experienced it herself…
Qin Yuanyao calmed herself down and realized that her throat was dry, as if the fire in her dream had evaporated all the moisture from her body.
She got out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen to get some water.
It was already two in the morning, and all the servants in the house had gone to sleep, making the house quiet.
Just as Qin Yuanyao was about to walk up the stairs, the door to Chi Baiyi's room opened.
Chi Baiyi came out of the room wearing the dark blue pajamas she had bought for him.
Their eyes met, and they both paused, momentarily stunned.
"Where are you going?" Chi Baiyi asked first.
"I'm thirsty, I'm going downstairs to get some water," Qin Yuanyao said.
Chi Baiyi nodded: "Me too."
He had just been awakened by a nightmare.
In his dream, he was surrounded by fire, and in the firelight he saw a person wearing a yellow mask with a red dot between his eyebrows.
Then, the man wearing the yellow mask disappeared, and he met Qin Yuanyao.
However, he couldn't see Qin Yuanyao's face clearly, but he could tell from her figure that it was Qin Yuanyao.
He called out Qin Yuanyao's name, and Qin Yuanyao told him to run away quickly.
When he asked her again where she was, Qin Yuanyao had already disappeared.
The next second, he was engulfed by flames...
He woke up with a start, feeling that the scene in his dream was very real, and at the same time, his lips and tongue were dry and he was extremely thirsty.
So he got up and went to get some water...
In the kitchen, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi quietly drank water, both of them recalling the dream they had just had.
Why would she/he have such a dream?
Why did I dream about Chi Baiyi/Qin Yuanyao again?
Qin Yuanyao stole a glance at Chi Baiyi, just as Chi Baiyi was also glancing at her.
Their eyes met again, and they both looked away nonchalantly, but felt a little awkward inside.
Qin Yuanyao quickly finished the rest of the water in her glass, put it down, and said, "I'm going upstairs."
Chi Baiyi gave a faint "hmm".
Qin Yuanyao tried to walk past him, but tripped over her slippers and lurched forward.
Chi Baiyi reached out and supported her at just the right moment.
She has a similar pair of slippers at home; they're the kind with thick soles, commonly known as "walking on poop" slippers.
Qin Yuanyao always trips when she wears these slippers.
She's gotten so used to it that she can always regain her balance when she leans forward.
