The night was like a huge dark curtain, which was pulled upwards by the rope behind it, and spread evenly little by little. Before anyone knew it, the thick dark color dyed the last bit of light in the sky into the same color as itself. Finally, it did not forget to embellish it with tiny stars one by one.

…

In the presidential suite on the top floor of Xuyang Hotel, the crystal ceiling lights are lit, and the room is filled with bright and warm light.

Most of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living room were opened, forming a triangular gap under the four slanted glass panels.

A cool night breeze gently flowed in, lightly swaying the well-made hollow lace curtains by the window.

After dinner.

Sheng Yuan sat across from the milky white dining table. Although Shi Yan's fever had subsided last night, she still watched him finish the last dose of cold medicine.

Cold remedy is actually not that bitter.

However, when Shi Yan put down the empty cup, a porcelain plate filled with candies was pushed in front of him -

The candies are soft candies that come in several flavors. They are covered with a layer of crushed white sugar grains, revealing either strawberry jam-red or blueberry jam-blue inside.

Each one is about the size of a thumb and they are packed in small transparent bags.

Not only candies, the counter at the back was also filled with cookies and caramel biscuits in the same packaging.

These are the results of Sheng Yuan’s entire afternoon’s work.

They were all made for Shi Yan.

She specially made them into small packages so that he could carry them easily and put a lot in any pocket.

No matter how long she fiddled with these things in the kitchen, Shi Yan would lean against the glass folding door and watch her. She was like an industrious little bee, fluttering her cute little transparent wings behind her, never stopping in the kitchen.

She kept moving her hands, but refused to let him help.

As soon as Shi Yan opened his mouth, he suggested helping her put the food on plates or in bags.

The girl didn't even think about it, without hesitation for a second, and immediately refused, "No, no, don't do that." The food powder stuck to her small nose, but she was unaware of it. She looked at him with her clear almond-shaped eyes narrowed softly, then tilted her head slightly and spoke to him in a sweet voice.

"Shi Yan, otherwise - you should go back to the living room and watch TV."

“…”

Shi Yan fell silent immediately.

He didn't want to go back and face those two big brown bears again.

And then, just like that—

The girl bent down and carefully squeezed the cream onto each half-formed cookie. Because she put on the sponge headband again, her silky black hair was all fixed behind her head. The long hair fell on her slender back, revealing her fair profile. She had a careful and focused expression. She was wearing a light-colored home clothes, which made her look even more lively and soft.

The young man, with his elegant figure, was leaning slightly there. The light from the overhead light was cast on his tall nose, casting a cold shadow. His black eyes were half-lidded as he watched quietly, taking in the entire scene.

…

It's not even half past eight in the evening.

The granules that Shi Yan drank just now contained a little bit of drowsiness-inducing effect, but the effect would not be exerted so quickly after drinking it.

Sheng Yuan was very distressed.

Zizi doesn’t watch TV and doesn’t listen to music.

Now even the tried and tested trick of lulling people to sleep - telling stories - is useless.

She did not forget to tell her baby a story last night, but she did not expect that she could not help herself and fell asleep first. She was too embarrassed to think about it.

In the morning.

Zhang Bai sent a WeChat message to Sheng Yuan, saying that everything was as expected, there was no bias, and everything was going well.

There is also Hu Jiang.

Finally, it was Xia Xicheng who called.

Xia Xicheng knew Sheng Yuan's phone number. It could also be said clearly that her number was not a rare secret among Shi Xuan's circle of brothers. When Sheng Yuan was pursuing Shi Xuan, she had already taken the initiative to leave her phone number and WeChat to each of them.

However, ever since the mayor's birthday party, that group of people naturally didn't have the courage to call her again. Even on WeChat, they all collectively knew the situation and tacitly kept their names in a 'dead' state in her list.

Young Master Xia just came here to comfort and care about his sister, so why did he suddenly ask for leave?

Sheng Yuan was frying eggs at the time. Because Shi Yan had a cold and had to eat light food, she prepared a bowl of noodles for him for breakfast. She was a little annoyed by the phone call and was forced to turn down the fire. Then she raised the spatula, and the girl's delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, with a fierce aura of 'No matter who it is who interferes with my frying of eggs today, I will shovel you into the eighteenth level of hell with one spatula'.

When I turned around and was about to turn off the sound of my phone——

A slender hand like jade opened the answer button for her.

“…”

Sheng Yuan was stunned, raised her head and met the young man's face with distinct bone structure.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in a low voice: "The phone keeps ringing, and you don't have time to spare."

So I answered the phone for you.

A moment.

Sheng Yuan had forgotten who had just wanted to shovel someone into the eighteenth level of hell.

It was not until she heard Young Master Xia's voice, "Hello, hello," from the cell phone on the kitchen counter that she lowered her head and responded.

Then.

Next second.

The person on the other end of the line was stunned and let out a few strange cries.

"Wait! Who are you? You're not my sister at all!"

"My sister's voice is nice, but it's not as gentle as yours! Who are you? What are you trying to do by imitating my sister's voice!?"

"Did I call the wrong number???"

“…”

…

The main living room was brightly lit.

"Shi Yan, let's play games."

Shi Yan looked at the slender girl sitting on the soft carpet, resting her hand on her fair little chin, and thought for a long time. Then he looked at him with bright almond eyes and said.

Sheng Yuan did think about it for a long time.

After hanging up the phone with Xia Xicheng, she found Xiaozhou’s WeChat again.

Ask him what Shi Yan usually does after filming or in his free time, for example, what he loves to do.

After receiving the WeChat message, Xiao Zhou was obviously scratching his head and worrying for a long time before replying with this sentence:

[…Do nothing.]

[Basically, every day after Brother Yan finished filming and returned to the crew hotel, he would wash up first. Then when it was still very early, I saw him turn off the lights on the balcony of the next room, and I guess he went straight to sleep.]

[…If I were to say what he did most often, it would be occasionally flipping through scripts.]

[The thing he does most now is probably holding his phone, waiting for you, Sister Sheng Yuan, to send him a message, and then he replies.]
