Ye Kehuan suddenly regretted then, regretted that she had given such guidance to Jiang Laien. Now, she dug a hole for herself, got excited, but was so far away from her, even if she wanted to do something, she couldn’t do anything.

“Want to come over and play with me?” At that moment, Jiang Laien looked towards her again, her red lips pressed close and opened slightly.

Ye Kehuan endured, “Yes, I want to come over and take you.”

“It’s a pity you can’t come.” Jiang Laien finished speaking, raising the corners of her lips slightly, and holding the phone away, her appearance pure and gorgeous.

“When I meet you, you will feel better.” Ye Kehuan said in a low voice, staring at her intoxicating appearance in the video.

Jiang Laien’s eyes gleamed, her pink lips slightly opened, and her voice was soft: “Okay, I’m waiting for you.”

Ye Kehuan closed her eyes and let out a sigh. If it weren’t for work the next day, she really wanted to rush out and take a taxi directly to Jiang Laien.

At that moment, Jiang Laien left the bathtub, making Ye Kehuan smile. Unfortunately, she held her phone extremely high the entire time, and she didn’t reveal anything Ye Kehuan wanted to see: “Show’s over, I’m going to put on clothes.”

“Must the phone be that high?” Ye Kehuan stared at her eyes. The only thing shown on the entire screen was Jiang Laien’s face.

“Yeah, what can you do about it?’ Jiang Laien fiddled with her hair, revealed her small earlobes, and then put her mobile phone in a place where she could not even see her face.

Ye Kehuan looked at the white flowered wall displayed on the screen of the phone and sighed, “You are so presumptuous because I’m not next to you, right?”

“Smart.” Jiang Laien’s voice came from afar, mixed with the sound of shifting clothes.

After a while, Jiang Laien reappeared in front of the camera after putting on her pajamas, smiling: “I’m ready.”

Ye Kehuan looked at her, finally sneered, and shook her head: “You are ruthless.”

“Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to blow my hair and go to bed. Because I will be busy in the next two days--I asked the director to arrange my role tightly for these two days, so I have to get up early.” Jiang Laien stretched out her hand and ran it through her wet hair.

Although Ye Kehuan wanted to chat with her for a while, after hearing what she said, she could only hold back her thoughts and nod: “Okay, then you should rest early, keep your spirits up, and don’t break yourself down.”

“Okay,” Jiang Laien pursed her lips and nodded, “Then, good night.”

“Good night.” Ye Kehuan nodded with a smile.

After hanging up the video, Ye Kehuan lay on her back on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly, still feeling empty. With her fingers slightly bent, she raised her right hand and looked at it before her eyes. Then she turned over and got out of bed, walked quickly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and gave herself a cold water wash to her face. The flames in her depths ignited by Jiang Laien were extinguished.

However, when she returned to her bed, Ye Kehuan closed her eyes, but Jiang Laien’s various unforgettable appearances could not stop appearing in her mind.

After reading the script and picking up her phone again, Ye Kehuan checked her circle of friends.

She saw that Chen Lulu posted a circle of friends two hours before. It was a selfie of her and Ji Changge standing under a tree covered with colorful lights. In the photo, Chen Lulu smiled like a fool, and Ji Changge was wearing a mask, her eyes cold, as if she was reluctant to take pictures, looking like a killer.

Ye Kehuan was stunned, and then sent a message to Chen Lulu: “Are you still in Chongyuan? Are you not returning to Senchuan?”

In the next second, Chen Lulu returned her message: “Yes! I plan to find a house in Chongyuan!”

“Then will you still make clothes?” Ye Kehuan asked again.

Chen Lulu: “Let’s talk about it later, chasing happiness is more important. I decided, I want to try again!”

“Okay, then I’ll go to bed first.” Ye Kehuan also admired Chen Lulu. If the average person failed repeatedly, she wouldn’t be able to persist, but this girl was so persistent.

“Well, okay, bye, I’m going to get her!” Chen Lulu sent a series of laughter.

Energetic enough, very good. Ye Kehuan looked at her phone screen and smiled, then put her phone aside. She didn’t know how long she struggled before she fell asleep.

After talking to Ye Kehuan, Chen Lulu jumped up from the hotel bed in the next second, grabbed a jacket and put it on, then ran out of the room with her bag and drove to the Four Seasons BBQ.

After arriving at the destination and getting out of the car, Chen Lulu slammed the door and ran to the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.

Chen Lulu was quite noticeable, and Ji Changge knew she was there without looking up, so she said, “Don’t ask me to cook for you.”

“I know, I didn’t want to talk about that! Look, what is this?!” Chen Lulu said, and immediately showed two tickets in front of Ji Changge.

“NL’s solo performance?” Ji Changge stopped the oiling action of her hand and leaned over. She hadn’t been online much recently, so she had no idea about this matter.

“Yeah! Tonight from midnight to half-past one, are you going to go? Don’t you like him?” Chen Lulu slapped the ticket on her cheek.

It was really perfect. She was still racking her brains thinking about what reason she had to see Ji Changge that day. But when she checked Weibo, she found that Ji Changge had posted on her Moments before about a singer-songwriter and popular producer that were going to have a small concert in a large bar in Chongyuan. Therefore, she bought tickets without saying a word.

After listening, Ji Changge checked the time, and then looked at the customers in the store. Seeing that the current diners were almost done eating, she said: “Yes. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome!” Chen Lulu smiled. Starting from the other party’s hobbies, she only felt that she could be compared to a genius.

At 11:20 in the evening, the two arrived at the destination and took the elevator to the second floor. After verifying the tickets, they walked to a seat next to a deck under the leadership of a bartender. Afterwards, the bartender put a tablet in front of them, and deliberately bypassing the lowest-grade beer worth 888, he recommended thousands of drinks every second.

“What do you want to drink? I’ll treat you.” Chen Lulu turned her head to look at Ji Changge, and whispered again, “It’s not very good to not drink here, there is a minimum consumption.”

“Then I’ll look at it.” Ji Changge said.

Chen Lulu nodded, then smiled and ordered a wine and fruit plate.

“But, wait a bit longer and drink less, have you forgotten your lesson of blood from last time?” Ji Changge looked at her sideways.

“Don’t worry, I know.” Chen Lulu reached out and patted her chest. “I drank too much that day, and I didn’t take any medicine today.”

Hearing this, Ji Changge nodded and said nothing.

After a while, the drinks arrived, but because it hadn’t reached midnight, NL hadn’t come out yet.

After Chen Lulu sent away the lingering bartender, she put a few ice cubes into her and Ji Changge’s wine glasses, and then began to pour the wine: “I heard that the alcohol content of this wine is quite like, basically the same as juice.”

Ji Changge took the wineglass from Chen Lulu, looked around, and then looked at her: “Speaking of which, why do you have sleeping pills?”

Chen Lulu put down the wine and held her chin in her hand: “I was a little anxious and could not fall asleep easily, so the doctor prescribed it. Later, I felt less anxious, but I kept taking the medicine because I still had some. Besides, it would be too sad if I couldn’t sleep anymore. Don’t worry, I don’t have any major problems.”

Ji Changge heard her words and nodded: “That’s good, physical and mental health is the most important.”

“Then, cheers!” Chen Lulu said, holding up her glass of wine to Ji Changge.

Ji Changge touched her cup, then took a sip, frowning. The alcohol content in this wine was still a bit strong. Of course, it may also be because she didn’t know how to drink since she was young. Putting down the cup, Ji Changge was choked with a soft cough.

“Aren’t you used to drinking?” Chen Lulu held up her cup and sat close to her.

“A little bit.” Ji Changge turned her head and looked at her, only to see that she was looking up at her, and the light of the bar created a galaxy in her eyes, which was particularly beautiful.

Afterwards, Ji Changge turned her head again, took a slice of watermelon, and took a bite.

In the blind of an eye, midnight arrived, and the surroundings suddenly boiled as one after another person walked onto the dance floor in front, and pictures with the name of NL appeared on the big screen. So the two people left the deck and went to the dance floor with people around.

NL was a very diversified original musician. Ji Changge had been listening to his songs before stepping into that circle. Even if she was not a diehard fan, she was considered an old fan. But she didn’t know why, she didn’t have much drive to listen on that day, as her eyes would always float to Chen Lulu next to her from time to time, and she saw Chen Lulu being so hilarious next to her, as she danced with those around them.

Chen Lulu didn’t really listen to this type of music before, but maybe by love or something, because Ji Changge liked it, she gradually felt that it sounded very smooth.

When she turned her head, Chen Lulu noticed Ji Changge was looking at her, so she smiled: “Why do you keep staring at me, do you like me?”

Ji Changge recovered and shook her head: “Don’t think too much, that’s impossible.”

Chen Lulu heard that, her heart sighing. Although she knew it, no matter what, every time she heard Ji Changge say those words, it was quite uncomfortable. Finally, Chen Lulu grinned and said, “I know, I’m just kidding. Don’t be so serious, it’s really just a joke.”

“Don’t make this kind of joke often.” Ji Changge was expressionless.

It was another critical hit. Chen Lulu opened her mouth, finally swallowed the whispers in her heart, and nodded: “Okay, yes, I absolutely will never make this kind of joke again!”

Ji Changge stared straight ahead with an inscrutable expression, and finally just said: “I’ll go to the bathroom.”

“Oh, then you go!” Chen Lulu smiled.

Subsequently, Ji Changge turned around and left. After Chen Lulu watched her leave, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she instantly felt a little unhappy. How afraid was Ji Changge of her liking her? Thinking of that, Chen Lulu reached out and hugged her arms, feeling a bit cold inexplicably, and goosebumps were almost coming out.

Not long after, a man stood next to Chen Lulu.

After looking at Chen Lulu for a while, the man finally said, “Miss, can I get your WeChat?”

Distracted, Chen Lulu turned her head and glanced at him, ignored it, and just continued to look at NL in front of her.

But what she didn’t expect was that the man didn’t stop there. Instead, he continued: “Miss, did you hear me? How about adding a WeChat to make friends? I’ll invite you to drink.”

“I don’t need it, thank you.” Chen Lulu felt unwell and frowned.

“Don’t be so unfeeling, are you here alone? Isn’t it more fun to have company?” The man chuckled, and while talking, he pulled on Chen Lulu’s arm. He looked obviously drunk.

“I said I won’t want it!” Chen Lulu shook her arm and stared at him.

“Don’t be so stubborn…” The man said, and reached out to her again.

At that moment, Chen Lulu originally wanted to say something, but she was suddenly dragged into a warm embrace by one hand, and she was stunned.

Shrinking from one set of arms, she looked at the arm around her, then slowly turned her head. She saw Ji Changge standing behind her, speaking to the man with a cold expression: “Stay away from her.”

Immediately afterward, before Chen Lulu was able to recover, Ji Changge held her hand and walked out of the noisy bar.

After going downstairs and reaching the ground floor, a cold wind hit, and Chen Lulu shivered instantly. Then, Chen Lulu twisted her hand: “Okay, it’s okay ,you can let go.”

After listening, Ji Changge paused, but finally let go of her hand: “Shall we go back now?’

Chen Lulu nodded and was silent.

Ji Changge glanced at her, without saying more, and walked towards the place where Chen Lulu parked.

“Hii… whee…”

As she walked, Ji Changge turned to look at her after hearing the sound of Chen Lulu behind her. She saw that she was breathing into the palms of her hands, rubbing them together, and zipping up her open collar, looking like it was quite cold.

Ji Changge turned her head, intending to leave her alone. But before taking a second step, she stopped again. She didn’t even know what she was thinking. She knew that she should keep her distance from her, but she couldn’t see her distressed, whether it was sick, drunk, hungry, or cold. She knew she couldn’t care about her. She couldn’t do it.

Closing her eyes, Ji Changge turned and stood in front of Chen Lulu.

“Why don’t you leave?” Chen Lulu sniffled her flushed nose.

Ji Changge was still silent, but in the next second, she tore off the scarf from her neck and put it on Chen Lulu’s neck.

Chen Lulu shrank her head and looked at her with eyes wide open, but when she met her gaze, she hurriedly lowered her eyes to look at the ground.

“Let’s go.” Ji Changge put down her hand, put it in her pocket, and said a little, then turned to the parking place and continued walking.

Chen Lulu grabbed the scarf on her neck with Ji Changge’s warmth, squeezed it tightly, then raised her lips and laughed, and ran forward: “Wait for me!”

…

The cold winter wind was raging, and people were wrapped up like dumplings, but as an actress and filling a role, Ye Kehuan was still wearing autumn clothes, just like a warrior.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Kehuan was there for four days. In the past few days, her role was very full. After all, time was limited, so the director allocated more to her.

Some people in the crew who looked down on her at first came around. Seeing that her acting was really good, they slowly warmed towards her.

It was just that some people who couldn’t understand her were still uncomfortable. Given her history, there were always countless reasons to hate her. This was also impossible to force. What’s more, the cast of this film were basically roaming empty streets, and only she had more traffic, and the more they roamed the empty streets, the lower their horizons. Although Ye Kehuan also thought it was funny, those people were forced to eat their own jealousy.

On Tuesday night, when Ye Kehuan finished filming a scene, she just sat down and was about to rest. Chao Mingqing poked her in the arm and handed her her mobile phone: “Hurry up, look, that Cheng Yan started posting innuendos again.”

“What the hell.” After Ye Kehuan took her phone, she saw a talk show called “Interview with the Stars at Night”, and then she continued watching where Chao Mingqing had paused.

During the show, Cheng Yan, dressed in Dior’s latest clothing and luxurious jewelry, sat on a beige sofa with a smile on her face, looking really rich and beautiful.

She listened to the host’s question: “Everyone knows that there is a lot of chaos in this circle, especially as an actress, it’s easy to suffer. You are likely to be embarassed or called to do some services other than work. Have you ever had such trouble?”

Cheng Yan smiled, raised her hand and ran it through her hair, revealing her earrings: “I think generally speaking, generally speaking, that only affects people who have no background, or their strength is weak, so they can’t act in anything. Well, people who desperately want to be popular will have such troubles, and then they are very likely to embark on such a crooked road.”

The host sighed: “So, this world is also very cruel. How pitiful.”

Cheng Yan laughed: “If it is forced, it may be pitiful, but if it is voluntary, I don’t feel any pity. First of all, these people have a problem with their mentality. They don’t know how to improve themselves and take shortcuts instead. I personally feel that their kind of performance harms themselves and others.”

“You don’t think it’s very reasonable?’ The host raised her eyebrows.

Cheng Yan nodded: “And it also brings unfair treatment to other competitors. For example, a resource was originally yours, but she took it away by some improper methods. I really don’t want to face it.”

The host laughed again: “Then have you ever had this experience? The experience of being robbed of resources.”

Cheng Yan smiled without saying a word, and then said directly: “Can we not talk about this topic?”

…

After listening, Ye Kehuan raised her hand to caress her neck and tilted her head.

“Look, isn’t it particularly annoying?” Chao Mingqing squatted beside Ye Kehuan, trying to lower her voice, “Isn’t she crazy, doing this deliberately? The last sentence really stands out. What a good white lotus! After losing to you, she’s started to make stuff up. These people on the Internet are also crazy, they even ran out and said that the kind of person she was talking about should be you, and that you are just a poisonous stone, robbing her of resources. Isn’t she the poisonous one?”

Chao Mingqing took back the phone, clicked on a tag on Weibo, and handed the phone to Ye Kehuan: “Also, Boss, you are on the hot search again. Everyone is jumping on the interview with Cheng Yan. The content scolds you to death!”

Ye Kehuan listened and looked at her phone confusedly.

She didn’t know, but she was shocked when she saw it. The reason why she was being searched at that time was because of the watch on her wrist.

She didn’t know who took the photo of her wearing the watch and uploaded it to the Internet, but there was a marketing account that started making a fuss. The same copywriting was: “Someone photographed Ye Kehuan wearing XX on her wrist. What do you think of the new limited edition watch?”

A piece of popular science about the watch was attached at the end. It said that the price of the watch’s brand started at one million, and the price of the piece that Ye Kehuan had was as high as nearly 10 million, and barely any were sold worldwide. Those who wanted to get one not only needed to spend a lot of money to buy it, but even needed to rely on relationships to have the chance.

As a result, the people in the comment section exploded in an instant.

“How could Ye Kehuan afford such a watch? It’s nearly ten million, not nearly 10,000!”

“I think this watch should be either a fake, or she was indeed packaged.”

“She must be wrapped up. Have you seen that interview with Cheng Yan? It felt like she was saying that Ye Kehuan slept with someone or was bought by someone, and then took a shortcut to grab her resources. Look, Ye Kehuan used to be so poor, wearing cheap brands or even miscellaneous brands, and occasionally a brand out of season, how could it be possible for her to afford such expensive watches?”

“Yeah, her resources have suddenly improved these days, and then there is such a photo, plus it has been said that Cheng Yan’s resources have been seized before, what is going on, think for yourself.”

“Fuck! Yes, Ye Kehuan is really shameless, see how her fans are still doing fancy washing!”

…

After Chao Mingqing followed Ye Kehuan after reading a bunch of comments, she was really angry: “Boss, are you really sure to let her do this? Your role was earned by your strength, okay? I really can’t bear it. And, it’s not like she said, she is a barren… I’m sorry I’m so crude, I’ll correct it, what kind of green onion is she? Does she think her dad’s small and broken company can talk down to you this way?”

“Don’t care about her, let her do it if she loves it.” It was completely different from Chao Mingqing’s reaction--Ye Kehuan just smiled indifferently.

“But…” Chao Mingqing was not appeased, and continued to mumble, “Why don’t you care, look, she is just stupid, but everyone in the Internet is praising her, praising her acting skills as enough to crush all the young flowers of the new generation, praising her as so white and beautiful. That she’s not the same as those usual glamorous and cheap goods, she’s about to be made into a saint, like she’s so pure and clean and not stained with dust. I really…”

“Mingqing, have you ever heard this saying?” Ye Kehuan turned her head to look at her with a smile.

“What?”

“The higher you fly, the more painful your fall. She will fall sooner or later.” Ye Kehuan said.

To be honest, the main reason why she was being questioned now was that her previous acting skills were too poor, which gave people an indelible impression, and that’s why this situation was brought about. But her current self was different from her previous self. When the movies she was filming now came out, the public’s wind would definitely change. In any case, she was quite confident in her current acting skills.

“Okay…” Chao Mingqing was still panicked, but in the end she didn’t say anything.

“I’m going to continue filming.” After Ye Kehuan returned her phone to Chao Mingqing, she adjusted the collar of her clothes, stood up, and walked towards the director.

In the blink of an eye, the day was over.

When Ye Kehuan returned to the hotel, it was already past 11 o’clock in the evening.

Going to the bathroom and taking a show, Ye Kehuan poured a glass of water and drank it. She just picked up the script to read it, but suddenly remembered something. The next day was her birthday! Thinking of that, Ye Kehuan glanced at her phone again.

It was already 11:45 in the evening, and there were only fifteen minutes left! Would Jiang Laien remember? Would she send her a message or make a phone call or something? Ye Kehuan wandered around the room with her mobile phone, like a child looking forward to the New Year.

Opening WeChat, Ye Kehuan looked at the chat record between herself and Jiang Laien, and saw that the last message in the record was sent by herself, half an hour before, but Jiang Laien had not responded to her yet.

Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but raise her hand to stroke her chin. What was she doing? Why didn’t she reply to her message? Was she still filming?

Lying on the bed, Ye Kehuan thought for a moment, and then sent her a message: “I’m back from work, what about you, what are you doing?”

After sending the message, Ye Kehuan glanced at the time again, quietly waiting for her reply. However, after a few minutes passed, Jiang Laien still did not show up.

After turning and tossing on the bed for a long time, Ye Kehuan jumped out of the bed again, stretched out her arms, and started various stretching exercises.

In the middle of them, her phone suddenly sounded with a bunch of message pings one after another. Ye Kehuan was happy when she heard them. She immediately turned and jumped into bed, stepped on the bedsheets and ran to the side with her Floating Dragon Footsteps to look at the news.

Queen Mother: “Happy birthday, baby! Do you have any plans for today? Have a good meal!”

Chen Lulu: “Happy birthday, old iron! I wish you 18 years old forever1”

Supreme Emperor: “Happy birthday.”

Ming and Qing Dynasties: “Boss, I wish you a prosperous new year and be loved by everyone!”

…

However, the person she put on the top still remained silent. Ye Kehuan couldn’t help lying back on the bed again. Did you forget it? Or are you busy now? After all, Jiang Laien said before that she would be very busy today. Maybe, I’ll wait a while?

Thinking about it this way, Ye Kehuan took the script again and turned it over. However, after reading the script for a while, she kept looking at her phone again. Whenever there was an incoming message on the phone, she would pick it up without saying a word. It was just that none of them were sent by Jiang Laien. Even Chen Fei and Liu Ting and Bai Wei posted, but there was still no Jiang Laien.

“Calm down, she may be busy.” Putting down her phone, Ye Kehuan let out a sigh and started doing sit-ups on the bed.

Time moved slowly, and it became one o’clock in the morning. Ye Kehuan was really a little lost at that moment, and even visited the emotional section of a forum.

After browsing for a long time, Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but grab her phone and dial Jiang Laien’s phone number.

After about twenty or thirty seconds, finally, the call was connected, and there was a yawn.

“Were you asleep?” Ye Kehuan held her phone and stood by the window, dazed.

“I’m a little sleepy, so I accidentally fell asleep… Hey…” Jiang Laien’s voice did sound very tired, and it felt a little dazed.

“Then, you, do you want to continue sleeping?” Ye Kehuan said softly.

“No, I slept enough. It seems that I have slept for more than an hour.” Jiang Laien’s voice gradually became clear.

“Well,” Ye Kehuan lowered her head to play with the curtains, “Well, today…”

“What’s wrong today?” Jiang Laien asked.

Ye Kehuan loosened the curtains, scratched her head, and walked to the side: “It’s nothing, but didn’t you say that you are very busy? Are you all done now?”

“I’m almost there, oh my god, my legs are so numb…” Jiang Laien sighed.

“How did it happen? Did you massage it?” Ye Kehuan asked hurriedly.

“Well… It’s better now,” Jiang Laien said.

At that moment, Ye Kehuan heard a “bang” sound on the phone, and then, the click of high heels rang, and she asked: “Are you still out this late?”

“Yes, because there is one more thing to do. Calling me so late, do you miss me?” Jiang Laien laughed.

Hearing this, Ye Kehuan thought she still didn’t seem to remember what day it was. For a time, her heart was mixed: “I miss you very much.”

“It’s okay, I’ll see you soon,” Jiang Laien said.

“There are still two or three days.” Ye Kehuan frowned.

Jiang Laien didn’t speak, but laughed.

“Actually, I called you to say…” Ye Kehuan couldn’t get the words out of her mouth. In any case, it was too strange to call to remind someone that today was her birthday.

“Okay?”

“Just wanted to say, you have to take care of yourself when I’m away. Also, this night is so cold, did you wear enough?” Ye Kehuan sat on the bed, turned around and picked up the script and threw it on the bedside table and began stroking the sheets.

“Enough.” Jiang Laien replied.

“Okay, then…” Ye Kehuan raised her head and looked at the ceiling, “Then, you should be busy. I plan to read the script and then go to sleep.”

From beginning to end, Jiang Laien never remembered that today was her birthday. Ye Kehuan lay on the bed and suddenly began to doubt life. Why, because she was not important enough in her heart? In the passed, if Jiang Laien’s other friends other friends had birthday, Jiang Laien, who rarely posted in ten thousand years, would send congratulations on Weibo at that time, but when it was her turn, and she even made a phone call…

Was she inferior to her friends? Although Ye Kehuan thought that made no sense, she couldn’t help but get into those kinds of thorns and couldn’t get out.

At that time, Jiang Laien just responded indifferently: “Okay.”

Subsequently, the call hung up.

Ye Kehuan sat there looking at her phone, and was stunned for half a second. Suddenly, the door of her room was banged, and she was so scared that she bounced up and said, “Who is that?”

“Room service!” The voice was thick and low, with a unique sense of vicissitude.

Ye Kehuan walked over and opened the door: “I didn’t call for room service…”

However, because Ye Kehuan had finished speaking, a huge bouquet of flowers suddenly slammed in front of her, directly shocking Ye Kehuan to the point of speechlessness.

After a few seconds, the flowers were lowered, and a beautiful face appeared in front of her. The visitor wore a khaki coat with long, soft hair and a smile like honey.

After Ye Kehuan saw her, she couldn’t help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, released the door frame, took two steps back, and covered her mouth with both hands, surprised and delighted, completely speechless. After a while, she exclaimed: “Oh my god, is this real? Laien? Are you really Jiang Laien?”

“What’s the matter, you don’t recognize me after a few days apart?” Jiang Laien groaned.

“No, I just really…” Ye Kehuan stepped aside, reached out to the wall, and turned around again, “I really didn’t expect you to come over, you didn’t warn me at all!”

“Then are you happy that I’m here?” Jiang Laien continued to ask.

“Happy, of course I am happy, I’ve yet to go insane!” Ye Kehuan said, and walked towards her quickly.

“You’re incoherent,” Jiang Laien corrected. “Fool.”

Ye Kehuan just smirked.

“Happy birthday.” At that moment, Jiang Laien gave her the flowers.

“I’m very happy!” Ye Kehuan carefully hugged the flowers, fiddled with their delicate petals, and smiled from ear to ear, and then hurriedly said, “Come in, come in, it’s cold outside.”

Jiang Laien nodded, and then walked in the door with a cake.

After Ye Kehuan placed the flowers next to the TV, she tilted her head and looked at them for a moment, then smiled and clapped her hands and turned to look at Jiang Laien: “Are you thirsty? I’ll pour you water!”

Jiang Laien nodded, took off her backpack, and put the cake on a small table.

When Ye Kehuan got the water and walked over, because she was in a good mood, she didn’t pay attention and almost tripped over a chair. Seeing this, Jiang Laien stood up immediately: “You slow down.”

Ye Kehuan was still happy, and handed the water to Jiang Laien: “I’m fine, let’s drink water.”

Jiang Laien held the water glass, smiled helplessly, and shook her head.

“Brought me cake?” After Ye Kehuan sat down beside her, she pointed to the cake on the table.

“Yes.” Jiang Laien nodded.

“Then I will open it.” Before Jiang Laien could reply, Ye Kehuan stretched out her hand with a smile on her face to take apart the cake box in a huff.

Jiang Laien turned her head to look at her profile, and seeing her so happy, her mood became extremely clear, and her heart was full of happiness.

After unpacking the box, a very cute light blue fondant cake was displayed in front of her, and there were clouds on it, as well as love balloons and the words “Happy Birthday”.

“It’s so beautiful.” Ye Kehuan said, and immediately took out her mobile phone and pictured it wildly from all angles.

Jiang Laien waited for her to finish her photography, then picked up a candle, inserted it into the cake, took out a lighter, pressed the igniter, and lit it: “Come on, make a wish.”

“Yeah.” Ye Kehuan put down her phone, put her hands under her chin, lowered her head, and started to make a wish.

She had many wishes, but after a while, she couldn’t think of anything else. Her only wish was to be able to stay with Jiang Laien for a lifetime and never be separated.

After making a wish, blowing out the candle, and cutting the cake, the two ate it together.

“To be honest, I really thought you had forgotten my birthday.” After taking a bite of the cake, Ye Kehuan bit her fork and turned her head to look at her.

“How is that possible, you think I am you?” Jiang Laien dug out a little cake and held it in her mouth.

“Huh?” Ye Kehuan looked at her.

Jiang Laien put down her fork and glanced at her awkwardly: “Did you not express anything on my last birthday?”

Ye Kehuan heard that and coughed: “I actually didn’t forget that day. I made a large table of dishes and bought cake. It was just that our relationship was very delicate at that time, so I ended up rushing to remove them all before you came back.”

Jiang Laien was stunned when she heard that, and then, the corners of her lips gradually bent: “So that’s it, fool…”

Because of that incident, she was depressed for a long time.

After eating the cake, it was almost two o’clock in the morning. It was getting late, so Jiang Laien went to take a shower, and Ye Kehuan walked to the bunch of flowers and took a look, and after a long time, she raised her hand and fiddled with them, then dropped her hand and smiled. Why didn’t she think that flowers were so beautiful before? Sure enough, flowers must be given by the right person to make people feel their beauty?

Walking back to the bed, Ye Kehuan listened to the sound of running water in the bathroom and opened the script again. However, she found that she still couldn’t get into it.

Her mind was filled with scenes from that video chat, and combined with the sound of water in the bathroom, her mind became uncontrollable.

My heart has distracting thoughts, and when I read the script, I only feel that the words in it are moving randomly, and I can’t read them at all.

At that moment, there was a “click” from the bathroom door, and Ye Kehuan instantly raised her head and looked over.

In the mist, Jiang Laien came out wrapped in a bath towel. The silken hair was like ink, her eyebrows like paintings, and her skin was so delicate, like it could be broken by a touch.

Looking at her, Ye Kehuan closed the script.

“Why did you come out directly wrapped in a bath towel today?” Ye Kehuan put the script aside, as she didn’t usually see her in such an outfit.

“Forgot to bring pajamas in.” Jiang Laien squeezed the bath towel tightly, and walked around.

Ye Kehuan stood up, approached her, put her hands on her waist, fixed her eyes on her, and pulled her into her arms: “Really?’

Jiang Laien glanced at the hand she placed on her waist, then raised her face to look at her: “Do you think I’m tempting you or suggesting something to you? Do I look like a person with such a strong need?”

Ye Kehuan’s lips lightly curled: “Aren’t you?”

Jiang Laien denied: “Of course not, do you think that I would lie to you?”

“Your mouth often doesn’t tell the truth, do you think I still believe it?” Ye Kehuan raised her eyebrows.

“I,” Jiang Laien gulped, “when did I do that?”

“No?” Ye Kehuan chuckled and smiled, and moved closer to her ear. ‘During the video that day, I don’t know who it was that kept saying that I couldn’t do anything. Later, I couldn’t get those images out of my head. Who was that?”

Under the lingering breath of Ye Kehuan, Jiang Laien bit her lower lip with some trembling, unable to speak a word.

Ye Kehuan looked at her snow-white neck, and then drifted her hand down: “Why don’t you show me whether you are lying or not?”
