It's raining heavily.

It was so big that Sheng Yuan couldn't see the outside scene clearly even when standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

She vaguely remembered that it was still afternoon.

But the dark clouds and heavy rain outside the window suppressed the sky so much that not even a trace of light could be seen. It was pitch black and gloomy, making people feel depressed.

The expensive flowers and plants in the garden downstairs were beaten mercilessly by raindrops.

Suddenly, a cold and slender figure appeared among the fragile and swaying branches from a long distance.

He didn't have an umbrella and was almost soaked. His back looked quiet and lonely.

It doesn't look like the rain will stop any time soon.

Sheng Yuan lowered her head and saw a large dry black umbrella on the low cabinet to her right.

She instinctively raised her head and looked at the figure again.

Then the next second, I was shocked.

Because she recognized him.

——Shiyan.

It was Shi Yan… It was Shi Yan who was caught in the rain! Almost subconsciously, Sheng Yuan wanted to pick up the umbrella and chase after him.

But she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't control her limbs according to her will.

She still stood there, without moving.

And it was at this moment that Sheng Yuan saw her own face reflected in the transparent and smooth glass window.

The face that should have shown an anxious expression was actually calm and without any trace of ripples.

The girl has long hair draped over her shoulders, cheeks as smooth as jade, and beautiful and delicate features.

The person outside the window was getting wet in the rain. She stood looking down at him, her eyelids slightly closed, and looked at him expressionlessly.

There was indifference in her pair of clear almond-shaped eyes.

“…”

How could she react like this? How could she treat Shi Yan like this?

Sheng Yuan was surprised.

Then try to struggle to break this look.

But what was strange was that the girl reflected in the glass window still had an indifferent look and did not move.

The person in the glass is obviously her.

But it's not entirely her...

Sheng Yuan felt a sharp pain in his head, and then everything around him began to become blurred and distorted.

In an instant, the world spun and a feeling of weightlessness ensued.

Sheng Yuan stepped on empty air and woke up suddenly.

Before my eyes——

In the familiar bedroom, the daylight was coming out from outside the tasseled ripple curtains. She was sitting in the soft and warm quilt on the bed.

…It was a dream.

Although there were no terrifying monsters in the dream, Sheng Yuan's unstable breathing at this moment indicated that this dream was not easy for her.

Why would I have such a strange dream?

There was a chill on my forehead, which was the aftereffect of the cooling of the thin sweat.

Sheng Yuan still clearly remembers how condescending and indifferent she was in the dream.

The screen of the phone on the bedside table lit up, bringing me back to my thoughts.

The call came from someone who surprised Sheng Yuan quite a bit.

Zhang Bai.

Since Sheng Yuan announced her permanent retirement and all matters were handled properly, the responsible and obligatory employment relationship between Sheng Yuan and Zhang Bai ended.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that they will never have any contact with each other again, but Sheng Yuan can’t think of any reason why Zhang Bai would contact her on his own initiative.

Sheng Yuan took the phone and answered the call.

Zhang Bai on the other end of the phone hesitated for two seconds, and the first thing he said was, "Um... little ancestor, I have some bad news that I'm not sure if it's important or not."

"What."

"Someone suddenly exposed the unequal artist contract signed between SD Entertainment and Young Master Shi. Fans online started to criticize SD and attacked them. SD issued a statement, putting all the blame on Young Master Shi's former agent Chen Zhuang, and has already fired Chen Zhuang."

Thanks to Ranzhen, summer, spring, and Xixi’s wife for their monthly tickets.

I have been visiting relatives non-stop these past two days, from morning till night, and I am almost numb. I have to get up early tomorrow, as it is the last day of visiting relatives. Sorry for being late.
