Country A.
When Bai Yanlang removed the mask he wore during the day, his face, which had never seen the sun, was fair and delicate, making even women feel ashamed in comparison.
However, on his right cheek, there is a scar that runs from his temple to his chin, grotesque and terrifying, ruining the original skin.
His eyes are different from ordinary people's; he has two pupils, that is, double pupils.
When the iris of a person has two pupils, the pupil will become two if the iris adheres to each other.
Few people have double pupils, which is why Bai Yanlang was not favored by his parents since childhood.
Outside the door, Bai Jian saw that the door was not closed. Not knowing whether Bai Yanlang was asleep or not, she boldly walked directly into the bedroom without knocking.
Hearing the sound, Bai Yanlang looked back and his eyes met Bai Jian's.
Like a startled beast, he suddenly grabbed Bai Jian by the neck, demanding, "Who let you in?"
Bai Jian didn't struggle. She gripped the hand that was choking her neck with both hands and spoke with difficulty, "Master..."
There was no struggle, no fear, no disgust in her eyes.
Bai Yanlang loosened his grip slightly, but didn't let go.
He scrutinized Bai Jian's eyes, using those unwanted eyes to examine her, trying to discern something from them.
There seemed to be pain and pity in her eyes...
Suddenly, he let go of her hand.
Bai Jian sat weakly on the ground, coughing and clutching her neck.
After coughing for a while, I was finally able to breathe again.
"Master, Master Chen has sent word that he wants to cooperate with you to find the missing piece and solidify your position in the Bai family."
Now that Bai Jian had seen his pupils, he no longer tried to hide it.
Aren't you afraid?
Bai Jian stood up, looked Bai Yanlang in the eye, and said with sincerity in his eyes, "I'm not afraid. No matter what kind of person my master is, he is someone I must protect."
Bai Yanlang felt a tremor in his heart.
He turned his back. "Why didn't you knock?"
“I was afraid that my master had already gone to bed, so I took the liberty of entering without permission. I beg my master to punish me.”
"never mind."
Bai Yanlang walked to the window and looked out. The sky was filled with stars, which was quite beautiful.
"Di Chenxiao... he actually believes me? Ha, he also wants to find Zhui, to restore peace to the Shi family, and to restore peace to Shi Xi. In that case, let's cooperate!"
Bai Jian felt a pang of jealousy upon hearing Shi Xi's name from Bai Yanlang.
However, she couldn't be greedy; she was already staying by her master's side, and that was good enough.
Moreover, Shi Xi is really good—kind, innocent, and wonderful. She can warm the hearts of those around her, which makes her a little moved, let alone her master.
"I will go and restore it immediately."
"Um."
Bai Yanlang only turned around slowly after hearing the door close behind him, and murmured, "Bai Jian, don't be afraid of my double pupils."

Time is like a waterfall, constantly flowing downwards.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Wei Zhi has already taken on two roles, both supporting roles.
Shi Xi was free this weekend, so she went to visit the set.
As Wei Zhi's agent, Shen Sheng could have avoided waiting for her on set, but he said he didn't have any other artists under his management, and since it was Wei Zhi's first time acting, he had to keep an eye on her.
When Shi Xi arrived, Wei Zhi had just finished filming a scene.
"Xiao Xi, you're here."
Shi Xi tossed her schoolbag to Wei Zhi, "Here, these are the snacks I brought for you. Eat them secretly, okay?"
Shen Sheng had his back to Shi Xi, and he was wearing a fisherman's hat, which completely covered his face, so Shi Xi couldn't see him at all.
Just as Shi Xi gave the snacks to Wei Zhi, Shen Sheng turned around and said, "Shi Xi, you're giving Wei Zhi snacks again!"
