Just after 7 p.m., the penthouse apartment became completely quiet.
Gu Chengyu had just come out of the bathroom, wearing only a black bathrobe.
His wet black hair was still dripping water, the droplets sliding down his neck, past his Adam's apple, and disappearing into his collar.
He was casually drying his hair with a towel.
Su Qianqian was already waiting for him.
She was holding a hairdryer and tilting her head to look at him.
Her voice was soft, with a hint of eagerness, "Ayu, shall I help you blow-dry your hair?"
Gu Chengyu paused in drying his hair, raising an eyebrow at her in surprise.
The young girl was used to being waited on by him and rarely did these things on her own initiative.
"Being so good today?"
"You've always been very well-behaved." Su Qianqian's cheeks flushed slightly.
She reached out and gently nudged his shoulder: "Hurry up, sit down."
"and……"
She waved the hairdryer in her hand and gave a soft smile: "After drying our hair, we still have important things to do."
"Important business?" Gu Chengyu became interested, tossed aside the towel, and sat down on the stool at the foot of the bed.
This height was perfect for Su Qianqian to blow-dry his hair.
"Yes, it's important."
Su Qianqian nodded in response, while turning the hair dryer to the lowest setting.
Gu Chengyu enjoyed the young girl's service and comfortably closed his eyes.
While blowing intently, Su Qianqian said, "It's the love story between Lin Wan and the monarch Qi Heng in 'The Chaos of War'."
"We're starting filming in a couple of days, and I'd like to rehearse with you to get a feel for the scenes."
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to like me first, and then pretend to like someone else?"
"How about tonight? I won't have time in the next couple of days."
She paused, then added, "Fang Qing printed out the biographical sketches for me, they're right next to you."
Gu Chengyu glanced at the middle of the bench at the foot of the bed, where a bound booklet was placed.
"Okay," he replied readily.
At the same time, he stretched out his long arm and easily took the booklet, flipping through it casually.
From Lin Wan's perspective, there are only three scenes depicting her romantic relationship with the monarch.
The first scene is from their youth, when he devoted himself to teaching her, and she admired and worshipped him.
The second scene is when she was eighteen, and her vow to him that she would never betray him.
The third battle is the final one, a confrontation amidst a sea of fire, a shared fate of death.
Therefore, Qianqian is unaware of how much Qi Heng loves her.
The hairdryer was buzzing.
Gu Chengyu's thoughts were already immersed in the world of the last monarch.
In the first scene, when he was teaching the young girl Lin Wan, he sensed her sincerity and affection.
I also sensed her kindness and purity.
He thought then: such a clean person should not be a cold knife and a sacrifice under the rule of monarchy.
So while he was teaching her, he also trained many other people.
But none of them were as outstanding as her, nor as kind, nor as loyal.
Impure people cannot catch the eye of the self-proclaimed righteous core figures of the new faction; they will be exposed as soon as they meet.
A person who is disloyal cannot be trusted.
So, in the end, he still chose her.
