To be honest, the moment Su Er put on her headphones and heard Jiang Siyan's voice, even she felt like she was dreaming.
She had assumed that Jiang Siyan would reject such a pointless suggestion without a second thought.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Siyan only sent a few words a moment later, asking her: "Are your headphones on properly?"
Su Er hurriedly rummaged through her bag for her earphones, put them on, and replied to his message.
The call came quickly, and Su Er lowered her voice so much that it masked the sobbing in her voice, "Hello."
Jiang Siyan only heard her breathless greeting, and asked with a light laugh, "It's only been a short time, and you already miss me? I asked you to stay one more night, but you wouldn't, you insisted on being stubborn."
In the past, Su Er would always have been quick-witted and ready to defend herself.
But at this moment, she felt that her heart, which had been tense all night, finally had a chance to relax for a moment when she heard the scattered laughter in her ear.
Su Er hugged the pillow, adjusted to a more comfortable and secure position, and listened quietly to the voice on the other end of the phone.
There was a faint, muffled music in the background, as if coming from behind a heavy private room door. Su Er thought he must not be at home.
She licked her dry lips and asked somewhat apologetically, "Did I disturb you?"
"No, what do you want to hear?"
It was a kind of indulgent pampering.
Jiang Siyan didn't think too much about it; he just felt that if the little girl wanted it, he was willing to spoil her.
Su Er said, "Either is fine."
Jiang Siyan chuckled softly, his tone troubled, "That's a bit difficult. Our Er'er has quite high artistic aspirations."
"I like them all." Her voice was soft and gentle, like a feather brushing against the heart, easily stirring the softest spot in the depths of one's heart.
Fearing that Jiang Siyan might not understand, she added, word by word, "I like everything you sing and tell."
Jiang Siyan genuinely regretted sending her back like that. How to put it? The girl was really good at coaxing people and was very endearing.
The tender words of love that came out of her mouth always seemed to carry a great deal of preciousness.
Jiang Siyan flipped the lighter in his hand and teased without any restraint, "Er'er, then you can just say you like me from now on, right?"
Su Er pursed her lips, unable to argue with him, so she simply remained silent.
"Brother Siyan, what are you doing outside? Why don't you come in?" A bright voice suddenly broke the silence.
Su Er recognized the voice; it was that of the boy who appeared when she had dinner with Mo Qingshu last time—a boy with an extremely unrestrained and flamboyant personality.
Jiang Siyan deliberately softened his tone, "What can I do? Just coax my little fairy to sleep."
The way he said it made it sound like he was telling others that putting her to sleep had become a habit, something perfectly normal.
Su Er blushed at his matter-of-fact tone. Although she knew no one would see her embarrassment, she still pulled up her shawl and covered her head.
Zhao Linsheng clicked his tongue in disgust and couldn't help but say, "Hey, Si Yan, you're being too mushy, I..."
Before the boy could finish speaking, Jiang Siyan jokingly chased him away.
Fearing the noise from people coming and going, Jiang Siyan found a quiet place to sit down. He was really going to sing for her, and even asked, "So, am I really going to sing?"
Su Er's cheeks flushed and she let out a soft "hmm".
Jiang Siyan sang a Cantonese song. His lazy and cool voice was like a babbling brook caressing the strings of a piano, flowing into the ears in a clear and refreshing way. It was like a sweet spring, yet it made people involuntarily intoxicated by it.
"A crescent moon, leaning against the deep night, a gentle evening breeze, a pretty face flushed with intoxication..."
Su Er woke up in the middle of the night when Lin Shuqin pushed the door open and came in, which startled her awake.
She glanced at her phone groggily. She couldn't quite remember which line Jiang Siyan sang when she fell asleep. She only vaguely remembered her eyelids gradually getting heavy and the lingering fear being dispelled by the deep, soothing voice that drifted into her ears.
She fell asleep to the melody that was sung just for her in that instant.
The screen light was a bit dazzling, and Su Er squinted. When she saw the string of numbers clearly, she was stunned. Although the call had ended, it had lasted for an hour and a half.
Jiang Siyan... he's still alive?
"Why did you fall asleep on the sofa? Did I wake you up?" Lin Shuqin quietly walked over and sat down next to her.
Su Er turned off her phone, sat up, and shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just about to wake up anyway. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Qin."
Lin Shuqin straightened her shawl, poured her some hot water, and comforted her, saying, "That person has been taken away and will probably be detained for a few days. Don't worry."
Since no substantial harm had occurred, after repeated communication, Lin Shuqin realized that being detained was already the best possible outcome.
Su Er forced a smile and hugged Lin Shuqin, "Thank you, Sister Qin."
Lin Shuqin patted her on the back, "You're my artist, it's my duty to protect you. Just focus on acting well, participating in events, and becoming famous quickly. That way, you won't let my hard work go to waste."
"Hmm," Su Er nodded emphatically and said seriously, "I'll win Best Actress for you someday."
Lin Shuqin couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, I'll wait."
The fright of the night, coupled with Su Er's restless sleep, meant she wasn't in the best condition.
After a long night of travel, Lin Shuqin looked tired, but she glanced at the time and realized it was already late.
Lin Shuqin rubbed her temples, trying to cheer herself up. "Alright, we need to get ready to go to the airport. You pack your things a bit, I'll wake Lili up."
Su Er didn't dawdle; she immediately got up, washed up, and tidied herself up.
Before dawn, the car was already driving on the road.
As dawn broke, Su Er flew to Shanghai to prepare for the brand event that evening.
Before boarding the plane, she sent Jiang Siyan a message: "I'm going to Shanghai, boarding the plane."
The event was to last for two days. After it ended, Su Er did not immediately return to Beicheng. She had a series of work commitments in Shanghai, including a magazine shoot, all of which had been arranged in advance.
Su Er originally thought that after this week ended, she would have a day to rest when she returned to Beicheng.
But before she even boarded the plane, Lin Shuqin told her, "The film crew's training start time has been moved up. We'll have to go straight to the crew as soon as we land."
Su Er subconsciously let out an "Ah".
Lin Shuqin glanced at her and asked, "Huh?"
Su Er lowered her head and tapped her phone. "It's nothing, everything's fine."
It's just that... I can't see Jiang Siyan anymore.
Admittedly, at that moment, Su Er regretted not spending another night with him.
Although the two of them often call or video chat at night.
But she really...
I miss him quite a bit.
