Liang Yin had always been easily intoxicated. However, for some reason, even after two cans of beer, she wasn’t drunk at all. It was Hua Jin, on the contrary, who had had too much to drink and started babbling.
Perhaps it was because she was drunk that she spoke incoherently and said random things. Liang Yin listened attentively. Just like that, he rambled on about all his highs and lows in life, from his childhood until he entered the entertainment industry. Then gradually, as he spoke, his eyelids grew heavy. Finally, he fell asleep leaning against Liang Yin.
Liang Yin leaned back on the sofa with Hua Jin’s head resting on her shoulder, its weight making her feel strangely at peace. She didn’t dare move, afraid that if she did, the actor would wake up. So she kept her position and stayed that way. Feeling tired, her eyes fell shut as well.
Early morning, daybreak.
Hua Jin woke up from the cold. Despite the heating in the room, by dawn the air was thick with chill and dew, and the temperature had cooled further. He was wearing thin clothes, and he was sober. He opened his eyes at once and looked out of the window. The sky was beginning to lighten.
He felt himself leaning against someone’s shoulder. When he looked up, he saw that Liang Yin’s eyes were closed. She was sitting on the sofa, allowing him to rest against her shoulder. She maintained the position and did not move.
Beer cans were scattered across the coffee table.

The actor felt awkward. He was a grown man yet he felt like a little bird leaning on her shoulder like this!
He nudged her awake gently.
“Hey!”
Liang Yin woke up immediately. She was a light sleeper to begin with, so with a light push, she was awake. However, at this point, her shoulder was so sore that it was about to fall apart.
“Oooh…” She clutched her shoulder, wincing as if she’d dislocated it.
When Hua Jin saw her pained expression, he realized, having fallen asleep against her shoulder, she would have been sore from taking the weight.
The actor was highly amused. “Did you just stay in this position and not move?”
Liang Yin replied sullenly, “How else? You were drunk last night. I was afraid that if I moved, you’d wake up and start a scene. That’s why I kept still.”
Hua Jin said with unease, “Who says I’m drunk? I’m not drunk. Besides, I don’t start a scene when I’m drunk.”
He paused, then said with disgust, “Is it because you can’t hold your alcohol? I used to drink. This little beer won’t make me dizzy.”
“I… I can’t hold my liquor very well.” Liang Yin rolled her shoulders and stood up. “I… I’m going to my room to rest!” she muttered.
Looking at her solitary silhouette, Hua Jin recalled that his tone just then was rather unpleasant. In addition, he had slept on her shoulder for a long time. She did not complain, as if she was afraid of waking him up. She just stood there motionless, looking most adorable.
Hua Jin suddenly asked her, “Have you ever watched the sunrise?”
Liang Yin turned around, puzzled, and shook her head.
The actor winked conspiratorially. “I know a place where you can catch a beautiful sunrise.”
Liang Yin’s eyes flashed with anticipation. “Really?”
…
On the rooftop of the hotel.
The actor unlocked the door and exchanged a mischievous look with Liang Yin. She crept after the actor, pushed open the door, and stepped out onto the roof.
