Liang Yin still woke up at half past five the next day and though she is leaving today, there is still a scene that needed to be filmed.

By the time everything was packed up, it was already six o’clock and the corridor was very quiet when she opened the door.

There was no sound of activity on the other side, he obviously hadn’t got up yet.

Zhou Jianchen doesn’t require too much time for makeup, so except for night scenes, he often arrives at the shooting site at half past seven.

Everything has been packed in the suitcase and would be placed in the trunk later whereby she can leave immediately after filming the scene. Xiao Tian had brought it out and closed the door when she turned to ask, “Sister Yin, what’s for breakfast this morning?”

She got up early but Xiao Tian was even earlier than her.

Liang Yin pondered for a while and replied, “Let’s eat downstairs today.”

She usually got up early but had no appetite, hence Xiao Tian would buy and bring it to the shooting site and she would eat it when she was hungry. But she ate a bit too much of that hot pot last night and felt somewhat hungry early this morning.

Besides, Xiao Tian still needs to drive several hours in the afternoon thus she doesn’t want to trouble her anymore.

There is a buffet breakfast in the hotel which is located on the first floor. It was probably too early as there were not many people inside.

Xiao Tian found a place to put the suitcase down. Liang Yin sat down first after getting a vegetarian bun and a cup of soy milk, Xiao Tian however brought her a boiled egg when she came over.

“Sister Yin, you eat more.” She said.

She really ate too little, only a morsel each time.

“Okay.” Liang Yin replied with a smile and really cracked the egg obediently.

Her phone buzzed as she peeling the egg. It was a WeChat message from Zhou Jianchen when she turned it on.

“Left already?”

Liang Yin wiped her hands and replied, “Having breakfast.”

“Oh.”

Zhou Jianchen merely responded with one word, and Liang Yin was rather unsure of how to reply.

“Yo, Yinyin is also here.” At this moment, Du Yafu’s voice came from the side. He had walked in at some point when she looked up.

“Morning.” Liang YIn then greeted him with a smile.

Du Yafu brought a tray over and sat across her and lamented emotionally, “I’m getting old and useless. My stomach is killing me this morning after having a few drinks last night.”

There was a bowl of plain rice porridge, two side dishes and two steamed buns on his tray, which was really light.

Liang Yin merely smiled and said, “Teacher Du is still young.”

Du Yafu is in his forties. Since he takes good care of himself, he really doesn’t look old at all.

Sitting at a table for four, Du Yafu just sat next to Xiao Tian when he came over.

“Hey, are you going somewhere?” Drinking his porridge, Du Yafu noticed the suitcase by the side.

Turning her head to look at it, Liang Yin responded, “I’ve asked for 2 days leave for something.”

“Oh.” Du Yafu didn’t question closely since she spoke so briefly.

The restaurant gradually filled with people when suddenly, Du Yafu raised his head again, “Yo! Jianchen is here too?”

Liang Yin turned to look. Zhou Jianchen had come in at some point. Dressed in black woolen sweater, black pants and a down jacket, he was standing at the entrance with both hands in his pockets.

Liang Yin was rather surprised. Hearing the voices, Zhou Jianchen turned to look and his gaze shifted when he saw her. Noticing there were others sitting across her, he restrained the expression in his eyes at once

“Come and sit together ah!” Du Yafu greeted him warmly.

Not responding to him, Zhou Jianchen took a tray then went to get his meal and indeed came over not long after.

Only the seat next to Liang Yin was vacant at the table for four and Xiao Tian couldn’t resist the urge to change seats, but before she could move, Zhou Jianchen had placed his tray down and sat beside Liang Yin already.

Since he is tall and it was an inner seat, it felt somewhat crowded once he sat down. He didn’t seem to notice it as he scooped up the porridge with a spoon

His expression was per normal, neither happy nor unhappy and appeared aloof, with the usual indifferent and unapproachable bearing.

It was as if he really came down for breakfast and met some acquaintances, who called him over and he just came incidentally.

His tray was plentiful. A bowl of boiling beef porridge, two pan-fried meat buns, one fried egg and also a cup of hot milk.

Watching him sit down, Liang Yin felt a stir in her heart.

She did know why he came.

__ You left already?

__ Having breakfast.

__ Oh.

She thought he blurted in reply, and didn’t expect he intended to come over.

His hair was tinged with dampness and he obviously looked like he had just woken up, but only five minutes had passed since his last message.

“Why are you so early today, Jianchen?” Du Yafu had already opened his mouth and asked.

“Couldn’t sleep anymore.” Replying casually, Zhou Jianchen then took a bite of the pan-fried bun.

He spoke so naturally that falsity couldn’t be discerned, so Du Yafu just smiled and said, “That’s really rare.”

His morning irritability is notoriously known, and he has to have enough sleep each time. Except for the filming’s demands, he has never seen him get up so early. But even if it is the filming’s demands, it has to be discussed beforehand too.

Hearing that, Liang Yin lowered her head again.

She had also somewhat heard about his morning irritability, and the reason he got up so early today was most likely because he knew she was leaving today …

__ Knowing that she is leaving, and will nevertheless be away for two days, which he hated to part, thus he got up early just to stay a little longer with her …

“Where are those two assistants of yours?” Du Yafu asked again.

They are usually right after him.

Pausing for a while, Zhou Jianchen replied, “They will come down soon.”

Ah Zhao and Ah Xian probably didn’t know he had woken up, as they would usually knock on his door after seven o’clock.

He woke up before six today, and when he opened the door, he noticed that she had already left.

Luckily he saw her again now.

Liang Yin said she was eating and he didn’t ask where, he had a hunch she was still here.

Drinking his porridge, the expression in Zhou Jianchen’s eyes couldn’t help but calm down again.

He was still annoyed by Du Yafu’s unexpected appearance, but now he was too lazy to bother about it.

Listening to him answering all his questions, Du Yafu leaned forward involuntarily and asked, “You seem to be in a better mood today ah?” He had ignored everyone the past few days.

Zhou Jianchen glanced at him without uttering a word and felt rather speechless.

Seeing this, Du Yafu laughed out anyway, “You are finally alright! You don’t even know how scary you were a few days ago! Those little assistants didn’t even dare talking to you and had me do it, as if I dare to talk to you.”

He continued after saying that, “I dare to say that when you are in a bad mood, there are not many in the entire entertainment industry who dare to approach you. That aura, really can frighten others to death.”

Zhou Jianchen ate the pan-fried bun and ignored him.

Seeing that he didn’t believe him, Du Yafu looked at Liang Yin again, “Yinyin, do you think he was particularly scary these past few days?”

Liang Yin didn’t expect he would involve herself, so she was momentarily dumbfounded.

Zhou Jianchen also turned to look at her, but the expression in his eyes was actually hard to understand and this was also the first time he looked at her after he sat down.

Why was he unhappy the other day? Wasn’t it because she rejected him?

Liang Yin was well-aware about it and just responded, “It’s okay.”

“You’re actually not afraid of him!” Du Yafu’s entire mind boggled.

Liang Yin smiled and said nothing more.

Retracting his gaze, there was a smile in Zhou Jianchen’s eyes. She didn’t yield and fool about blindly, but stood by his side.

Liang Yin is really not afraid of Zhou Jianchen. His temper is indeed notoriously bad, but she is able to feel his goodness.
