The following morning, Nan Xian got her hair and makeup done and went downstairs to the lobby to assemble.
Yu Lin was the first to arrive.
He was sitting on the sofa, playing a game on his phone.
Nan Xian was startled and instinctively stopped in her tracks.
The embarrassing scene from last night flashed through my mind.
Just as I was debating whether to go in, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the camera panning towards me.
Yu Lin seemed to sense something as well, and looked up in their direction.
Nan Xian forced a smile and had no choice but to go inside.
Yu Lin stood up, his face showing no sign of distress, and said politely, "Good morning, sister."

Nan Xian then followed up on this topic and started talking to him about health and wellness. She had learned a lot in the He family in her previous life, so she actually knew a bit about this.
Lang Zhuo was surprised that she knew these things, and his eyes immediately lit up. The two of them started discussing it enthusiastically.
Yu Lin listened silently to Nan Xian, his gaze never wavering for a moment.
The camera captured this scene completely.
