Chapter 168: Relaxing Alone

Early in the morning, Sheng Ting ordered breakfast and waited at the dining table. He looked at a door for the nth time.

She should not be awake yet.

After waiting for a while, seeing that it was getting late and worried that she would feel uncomfortable on an empty stomach, Sheng Ting finally walked over and knocked on the door.

No one responded.

The man pursed his lips into a line and spoke slowly, "Paopao, have breakfast."

There was a moment of silence.

After thinking about it, he made a phone call.

Soon the call was connected and a woman's clear voice came over, "Hello?"

"Come out and eat something. You have a weak stomach and can't stay hungry all morning."

"I've eaten, you eat it."

Sheng Ting paused, staring at the milky white door for a few seconds before speaking, "I've canceled my return flight and will stay with you for a few more days. I heard there will be a circus show today and a fireworks display in the evening. Do you want to pack up and go to the scenic spot?"

Originally, today was the day for the return trip, but Chu Shuang's condition was really worrying, so he handed over the work arrangements for the next week to Chen Jiazhou last night.

Hatsushimo: "It's busy there, you can go back alone, I'll go walk around and relax."

"No, I've already coordinated with Chen Jiazhou. He knows what to do. Is there anywhere you want to go? I'll go with you."

"I'm already on my way."

The man lowered his eyes suddenly, reached out and opened the bedroom door, but did not lock it.

Looking into the room, it was empty, with the quilt neatly laid, as if no one had ever been there.

His throat tightened, Sheng Ting's thin lips opened and closed several times, his voice extremely hoarse, "Where are you going?"

"I'll be careful when walking around, don't worry."

Sheng Ting was so upset that he couldn't sleep all night. He only rested at dawn and slept for three hours. When he woke up, he started to order breakfast for her. Unexpectedly...

The man's eyes dimmed. She left very early...

Like she was avoiding him on purpose.

A little earlier or later would have been noticed by him, but she was smart to choose that time.

"You..." The man's throat rolled slightly, "How many days will you stay outside?"

"I don't know. I'll go home when I want to."

There was the sound of a car horn over there, and her voice came through clearly, "So you should go back to the capital first, and I'll go relax by myself."

After a long pause, Sheng Ting spoke in a voice that was already extremely dry, "First Frost..."

"Don't be like this, let me accompany you, let me stay by your side."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone. The man's eyes were dark and his knuckles turned white unconsciously as he gripped the phone. "Baby, I know you're sad..."

Halfway through his words, he felt a lump in his throat and took two seconds to calm down before speaking again.

"I made a mistake, I made you sad, so you had to hit me and scold me to vent your anger. You already internalized your emotions, and it was hard and uncomfortable enough. You can't let me make up for your mistakes alone. It shouldn't be like this. You can learn to lose your temper like other girls and scold me, okay?"

"If you hold yourself back too much, something bad will happen. Where are you? Can I come find you?"

Hatsushimo: "I need to be alone. Can you give me some time? Don't worry, I'm just wandering around to relax. I won't do anything stupid."

Her voice was calm and gentle, as if it would be blown away by the wind. Although it was a gentle tone, it revealed a firmness that could not be rejected.

Someone came from the other end, shouting to get in the car.

"I'm in the car."

Sheng Ting's fingers loosened and tightened, and finally he moved his lips, "Remember to go home when you are tired. I will always be behind you, and so will your family."

“Be sure to pay attention to safety.”

Hatsushimo was silent for two seconds and then nodded.

As the bus started moving, the scenery outside the window moved backwards, with a cirrus cloud dotting the horizon. After looking at it for a long time, my eyes became sore.

Lin Su sent a message: [Have you boarded the bus? ]

【Just got on the airport bus. 】

【How long does your flight take? 】

Hatsushimo: [Including the transfer and waiting time, it will take about 10 hours. ]

Lin Su: [It will be evening when we arrive in Korla. I have a night scene tonight and may not be able to leave. I will ask my assistant to pick you up at the Licheng Airport in advance.]

【good.】

It was a bit hot today, and the front passenger left the window open. Even with the air conditioner on, I could still feel the heat waves rushing towards my face.

Turning her head slightly to avoid direct sunlight, she opened a bottle of ice water and drank it, then continued to send messages to Lin Su.

[Is it very hot in Korla today? ]

After a few minutes, the other side replied: [The dog jumped up and down after walking on the ground for three seconds. It was not an exaggeration at all. It was like being in a high-temperature steamer, even more tormented than the Monkey King in the alchemy furnace.]

Looking at her humorous metaphor, Hatsushimo chuckled.

Lin Su: [I don’t have any scenes right now, but I’m sweating even with two fans blowing on me. This is just the edge of the desert. If I get lost in the desert in this weather, I’ll die. I have to come here for work. So I really don’t understand why you want to come to the desert to play.]

Hatsushimo: [I saw a picture of a desert sunset in a magazine at the hotel yesterday and wanted to experience the wonders of the vast desert in person.]

[Then you can only go out in the evening. You can't stand it during the day. Actually, it's the first time I saw the sunset in the desert. It's really magnificent. It's good for you to come and relax. ]

It was almost eleven o'clock when Hatsushimo arrived at the Licheng Airport. She met Lin Su's assistant and originally wanted to treat him to a midnight snack. Xiangxiang said that they had just finished dinner not long ago, and she was still pinching her belly and saying that she couldn't get any fatter, otherwise the boss would scold her.

According to the time and schedule of Korla, it was not long after sunset, so it was not really a midnight snack. But Chushuang had been hungry for the whole day, so he went to a beef noodle restaurant on the street.

"Does Lin Su still care about this?"

Xiang Xiang leaned on her hands and watched Chu Shuang eat beef noodles. She nodded when she heard what he said, "Guan, she is a perfectionist and always keeps her word. She not only has high standards for herself, but also for the people around her."

Hatsushimo curled her lips. "But she is very gentle."

Xiang Xiang nodded, "I'm used to her taking care of me, and many of my living habits have improved. I feel positive and making progress every day when I'm with her. I always feel like something is missing when I'm not with her."

"It's great that you guys know and cherish each other."

Xiangxiang has round eyebrows and the corners of her lips are curved even when she is not smiling, which makes her very friendly and cute.

Looking at the person who was eating noodles with his head down, she curved her eyes slightly and said sincerely, "You are really good-looking."

The first frost raised her eyes.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?"

Xiangxiang paused, "Is there?"

“It’s beautiful.”

When they drove back, the crew had not finished the work yet. Chu Shuang was waiting for Lin Su to start filming on the set late at night.

Xiangxiang arranged a chair for her to rest and went behind the camera to observe her boss.

Chu Shuang looked for a while, then opened her phone and found several new messages from Yaoyao, her cousin, and Sheng Ting.

Yaoyao and her cousin should have known that she did not go back with Sheng Ting. The messages they sent were filled with subtle concern and worry. Chu Shuang patiently replied to them one by one.

My eyes scanned Sheng Ting’s profile picture below and clicked on it.

8pm: [Did you have fun today? ]

9pm: [Have you returned to the hotel?]

There was a missed call at 10pm.

10:30pm: [Paopao, call me back after seeing the message. I am worried about you.]
