Interest? Just don’t turn it into career planning.
If I accidentally groom Xiao Yu into an actress...
emm...
Stars earn way more than doctors, a huge crisis indeed!
Xiao Yu, you mustn’t be led astray!
Just as ng Lang was planning how to reveal the chaotic nature of the industry to Xiao Yu, citing classics and debating what exactly the relationship between Baizhi and Yapeng was...
"Snap!"
All of a sudden, all the lights went out simultaneously, even the TV dimd instantly, plunging the entire room into darkness.
"Ah! The power’s out!" Xiao Yu’s exclamation ca from the darkness.
It wasn’t just inside; the entire visible area outside the window was also engulfed in darkness, clearly indicating a widespread power outage in the nearby streets.
"Xiao Yu, stay put; I’ll turn on the flashlight on my phone."
The next mont, a bright light from Lin Haitang’s cellphone filled the room.
"Hmm? ng Lang, what happened to you?"
The sole light shone on ng Lang’s face, revealing his stunned expression.
"Ah... Oh! I’m fine."
"Hmm! I rember we have so candles at ho; wait here, I’ll go find them."
Soon, three faint candle flas lit up, dispelling the darkness in the cabin and revealing ng Lang’s sowhat amused expression.
Candlelight! There really was candlelight!
I misunderstood you, you are indeed a steadfast materialist, not into fancy tricks.
But next ti, could you be more direct? What would happen if the book ntioned "power outage"? Is it that hard?
Or is it because you’re jealous that I’m the protagonist and you’re not, deliberately teasing "myself" in this trivial way?
Brother, that’s just not fun.
I represent millions of brothers after today to collectively denounce you!
Denounce all you want, but we still have to eat; I’ve barely started, and I’m nowhere near full.
Under the dim candlelight, ng Lang continued to calmly pick up his food.
"Sister, I’m done eating, so I’ll go back to my room to study the script," Xiao Yu said while placing her empty bowl on the table.
"Eh? That was quick. Take a candle with you then; we don’t know how long the power will be out."
The mont Xiao Yu turned to enter her room, ng Lang might have been mistaken, but it seed that Xiao Yu gave him a aningful wink before she turned away.
Er...
I must have seen wrong.
ng Lang’s hand, picking up the food, involuntarily stiffened, no longer as natural as before.
In the dark world, under the dim candlelight, two people sitting across from each other at the dining table...
With Xiao Yu’s departure, the sudden candlelit dinner seed to add a touch of ambiguity to the air in the room.
Glancing at Lin Haitang across the table, ng Lang’s heartbeat quickened.
Under the candlelight, Lin Haitang’s beauty was almost breathtaking, and he quickly looked down.
"Cough! Weird, there was no notice of a power outage, and who knows when it will be restored. This old complex really has outdated facilities," he tried to find a topic to ease the awkwardness.
"Hmm!" Who knew the only response from across would be a soft one.
That’s it! The conversation is dead.
Both were aware of the unusual atmosphere, and what followed was just silently picking up food and eating.
"Clack!" Their chopsticks gently collided over the sa piece of tofu, and the next mont, both withdrew their hands simultaneously.
The air quieted for a mont, then Lin Haitang suddenly stood up.
"I’m full, going to check on Xiao Yu."
She seed eager to escape the awkward atmosphere, her steps a bit hurried, while ng Lang also sighed in relief.
"Ah!" an exclamation.
In the dim light, Lin Haitang seed to trip over sothing and stumbled forward.
ng Lang instinctively reached out to help, but then...
"Crash~"
The chair toppled, the view spun.
The next mont, before ng Lang even knew what had happened, he found himself lying on the ground, facing Lin Haitang...
The air went silent instantly.
As he looked at the quivering long eyelashes of Lin Haitang just inches away, a thought suddenly popped into ng Lang’s mind.
["That evening’s dinner was delicious, and under the dim candlelight, I made a bold decision that even I found unbelievable!"]
emm...
At that mont, her lips were only 3 centiters from mine. I didn’t know what I would choose next.
But I can be sure... soone acted like a beast...
