Ying Yue suddenly changed her tone aningfully and asked, "So... that guy from this afternoon, is he your boyfriend?"
Zhou Huaiyi was stunned at the words, "Huh? What?"
Ying Yue: "This afternoon, that handso man who helped you, he’s your boyfriend, right? He looks pretty good... his height is okay, just that his dressing was a bit casual..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhou Huaiyi interrupted, denying it flatly, "He’s not! Don’t talk nonsense!"
"He’s not?" Ying Yue was skeptical.
"Yes! He’s not!" Zhou Huaiyi emphasized again.
"If he’s not, why is he being so good to you... Ah!" Ying Yue suddenly had another thought, "Is he your boyfriend’s colleague? Friend? Or maybe... a subordinate?"
Zhou Huaiyi scratched her head, vaguely responded, "Uh... sort of..."
"Wow!" Ying Yue exclaid, "Zhou Huaiyi, you’re impressive! Looking at the bodyguards’ setup this afternoon, your guy must be sothing! Got any photos?"
Zhou Huaiyi: "Uh..."
There’s a bunch on Weibo, just search... Xiang Qichen.
Ying Yue urged, "Send them over quickly!"
Zhou Huaiyi hesitated, "No need, I haven’t taken any of his photos myself... you’ll see when there’s a chance to et later..."
anwhile, the room door was suddenly knocked twice, Zhou Huaiyi froze, hurriedly covered the receiver and whispered, "I’m not feeling well, going to sleep first..."
Ying Yue: "Ah... okay, okay."
The call ended, and Zhou Huaiyi craned her neck and said loudly, "What’s up?"
Xiang Qichen unlocked the door and ca in, holding a cup of hot milk: "Not asleep yet?"
Zhou Huaiyi sat up, put the phone aside, "I promised Ying Yue to call her back this afternoon, but I forgot. She just called because she was worried..."
He walked over, placed the milk on the bedside table, and turned on the wall lamp: "Hmm."
"She actually thought Yang Li is my boyfriend..." she felt it was absurd and ntioned it casually.
Xiang Qichen’s expression paused.
Zhou Huaiyi picked up the cup and looked, "Milk?"
Xiang Qichen casually snapped out of it, "Drink it, helps you sleep, and it’s good for calcium."
Zhou Huaiyi instinctively glanced at her bandaged foot injury, said "Oh," and gulped it down.
"Ugh, it doesn’t taste good," Zhou Huaiyi swallowed the last mouthful, wrinkled her nose in disgust, and wiped her mouth, "Too rich..."
Xiang Qichen took the cup from her, ruffled her hair, and smiled, "Sleep now."
Zhou Huaiyi obediently crawled into the blanket, mumbled, "You sleep early too."
He leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead before turning off the light, "Good night."
——
The next day, Xiang Qichen had a scene at nine in the morning, and when he left, Zhou Huaiyi was still asleep.
Yang Li, as usual, waited downstairs ten minutes early. Usually, at most, he would wait five minutes. But today, he waited for more than half an hour and still saw no one.
Yang Li checked the ti, eight-thirty, overslept?
Feeling puzzled, he picked up his phone to call.
Qi Chen is always very punctual...
The busy signal rang three tis before it was picked up.
"Hello."
Xiang Qichen’s deep, calm voice ca from the other end.
Yang Li: "Qi Chen, are you still not up? Why aren’t you down yet?"
Xiang Qichen’s tone was indifferent, "I’m driving to the set myself, you just co directly."
Yang Li was dumbfounded, "...Why didn’t you tell ?"
Xiang Qichen was nonchalant, "I forgot."
Yang Li: "..."
He wanted to throw his phone! Afraid of traffic later, he got up at six and drove over forty minutes from ho, waiting for half an hour... and he!
The call wasn’t hung up yet, Yang Li had just cald his emotions, when he heard him again, "On your way over, stop by University Road to get a breakfast set."
"U... University Road!"
That’s completely the opposite direction of the set, what’s "on the way" about it!
"Why?" Xiang Qichen’s voice grew deeper, "Don’t want the bonus?"
Yang Li gritted his teeth, "Okay!"
,
Over an hour later, Yang Li finally appeared on the set. Xiang Qichen had just finished shooting a scene and, seeing him co over with breakfast, frowned almost imperceptibly, "Why so long? I’ve already eaten."
Yang Li: "..."
He was as fast as possible, okay!
Xiang Qichen took a sip of mineral water and added, "Help go to Starbucks, get a cold brew."
Yang Li nodded and was about to turn and leave when he heard him add leisurely, "Oh, the nearest Starbucks is under renovation."
What?
The filming location today is in an old house near the outskirts, and the only relatively bustling area is a small mall nearby. With it currently under renovation, it ans he has to drive twenty minutes to the next closest store at Sihe Square, a forty-minute round trip...
Yang Li looked helplessly at the sky, "Qi Chen... did I do sothing wrong... did I offend you?"
Elegantly sipping his water, Xiang Qichen raised an eyebrow at the words, set down his cup, and asked expressionlessly, "Yesterday, did you carry Zhou Huaiyi into the car?"
