Chapter 26.2 – Milk

“No.” After Su Yan replied, she understood what had happened. ‘It seemed the director misunderstood my relationship with Bai Xingfan and arranged the same room…’ Thinking that she wanted to bury her head in the ground. After she figured it out, she blushed a bit. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She hurriedly defended herself, saying, “It’s not me! It has nothing to do with me, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t know beforehand!”

Bai Xingfan said in a deep voice, “I understand.”

Su Yan glanced at his face and tentatively asked, “Do you really understand? I think you are still a little unhappy…”

Bai Xingfan frowned slightly. “Is there?”

Su Yan: “Very much.”

Bai Xingfan: ” …”

He was indeed unhappy, but it was not the reason Su Yan thought, but the reason that he lost his self-control. And he knew that Su Yan was not a woman to climb onto his bed to get anything. Just like the nightingale he once kept in captivity, no matter how many roses he laid for it, it would not care.

Su Yan thought Bai Xingfan was still doubting herself, so in order to prove her innocence, she made a decision. “I’m leaving now!” After she finished speaking, she went back to the bedroom to pack her things.

Bai Xingfan looked at her and said softly, “Once you walk out of this room, your treatment in the crew will become worse again.”

Hearing that puzzled Su Yan, she glanced at Bai Xingfan.

Bai Xingfan had no choice but to explain. “They made such an arrangement, which means that they regard you as my person. If you leave this room, it means that you are not.”

Su Yan understood the meaning of those words clearly. She remembered how the crew treated her before Bai Xingfan came today. They had misunderstood that he and she were lovers. But if she left the room or Bai Xingfan left the room tonight, the crew would learn the truth, and she would be treated again as an unknown screenwriter. ‘What should I do then?’

Su Yan was caught in a dilemma. Although she didn’t want to go home as a loser, how could a lonely man and a lonely woman live in the same room? No matter how she thought, she felt that it was inappropriate. ‘What if there is someone between the two of us who can’t hold back?’ She couldn’t even guarantee whether the person who suffered the loss was herself or not. She had no idea at all, so she could only ask Bai Xingfan, “Then, what do you say?”

Bai Xingfan said, “I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight. ”

Su Yan is very embarrassed. How could she take the bed? “No, let me sleep on the sofa.”

Bai Xingfan: “I will go back to Dongfu early tomorrow morning, which will affect your rest.”

Su Yan: “No, I also wake up early. So I can sleep on the sofa!”

Bai Xingfan remained silent, looking at her expressionlessly. His pupils were pitch-black and bottomless, and his thin, light pink lips were drawn into a line. The whole person looked extremely stern, not angry or pretentious, and Su Yan suddenly felt an irresistible sense of oppression. He gently opened his lips. “Go to sleep obediently.”

Su Yan stopped clamouring, nodded obediently, ran back to the bedroom, and closed the door.

Bai Xingfan sighed, stood up from the sofa, and went to get his suitcase. He had just put the suitcase on the floor in front of the coffee table when the door of the bedroom opened again. Su Yan walked out with a quilt in her arms and said, “There is actually a set of bedding in the cabinet, this set is made of pure cotton .”

The set on the bed was made of silk.

Bai Xingfan squatted next to the suitcase and explained while arranging his things. “Some people are allergic to silk fabrics, some don’t like the texture of silk, and some only like to sleep on pure cotton beds. Almost every day, customers ask for a replacement, so the hotel staff  put a spare set in the cabinet.”

“It’s quite humane.” Su Yan put the quilt and pillows on the sofa, and asked curiously, “How do you know so much?”

Bai Xingfan sighed. “I used to be an intern at a hotel.”

Su Yan was shocked. “Huh?” ”

My parents cut off my living expenses as soon as my eighteenth birthday passed.” Bai Xingfan closed the suitcase and stood up from the ground. ” I can only find my own way out.”

Su Yan was amused. “Is it easy to plan?”

Bai Xingfan also smiled. “It’s okay, after being introduced by an acquaintance, I went to the hotel for an internship at the grassroots level, and the monthly salary is 1,500.”

Su Yan: “Who is the acquaintance?”

Bai Xingfan: “My grandfather.”

Su Yan’s eyes widened again. “In your own hotel?”

Bai Xingfan: “No, my grandfather’s friend’s. Grandfather didn’t let me go to his hotel, fearing that his employees would not dare manage me.”

Su Yan: “…” ‘What a cruel family!’ She asked very worriedly, “Is the tuition fee also cut off?”

Bai Xingfan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “How is it possible?”

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s right.” Then she asked: “Is a salary of 1,500 yuan enough for you?” ‘For ordinary college students, 1,500 yuan should be enough, but for himself… for the young master who is well-clothed and well-fed, it should be a little too little, right?’

Bai Xingfan said it honestly. “It’s not enough.”

Su Yan: “Then what did you do?”

Bai Xingfan smiled bitterly. “Fortunately, I still had some savings.”

Su Yan couldn’t help laughing. “It’s so pitiful.”

Bai Xingfan frowned. ” Miss Su’s expression doesn’t seem to be pitying me.”

Su Yan rubbed the tip of her nose in embarrassment and quickly changed the subject. “How long have you been an intern at the hotel?”

“Until I figured out the management process of the hotel,” Bai Xingfan said while recalling, “then I was transferred to a financial company under my own group, and then a film and television company, a tourism development company… They all started at the grassroots level.” In short, he took turns doing internships at several major subsidiaries of the group.

‘It sounds so tiring. Being an heir is not an easy task.’  Su Yan couldn’t help but feel pity for Bai Xingfan. “Is the internship very busy? Did it affect your studies?”

Bai Xingfan: “It didn’t affect my studies. I used the time of my vacation to do an internship before graduation.”

“Oh.” Su Yan asked again, “Where did you go to university?”

“New York University for a bachelor’s degree, Harvard Business School for a master’s degree.”

Su Yan: “…” ‘I shouldn’t have asked such a question!’ She decisively decided to change the subject. “You also graduated two years ago?”

Bai Xingfan sighed lightly: “It’s been four years since I graduated.”

Su Yan’s eyes widened again. “You graduated when you were twenty-two? Didn’t you still go to graduate school?”

Bai Xingfan: “Undergraduate is not difficult, it took me only two years to complete all the credits.”

Su Yan: “…” ‘You sound like it made people like me, who finished my undergraduate course in four years, look like little fools!” I really can’t talk anymore today!’ Su Yan felt frustrated, and she gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Then, Mr.Bai, good night. I’m going to bed.” Then she turned and left.

Bai Xingfan froze in place, looking at her back in bewilderment, completely unaware of how he had made her angry. The moment the bedroom door closed, he let out a long sigh, threw the home clothes in his hand on the sofa, and started to unbutton his shirt. As the collar of the shirt was opened a little bit, his white and firm chest muscles and well-textured abdominal muscles were gradually revealed.

The moment the button at the bottom was undone, the bedroom door was suddenly opened again, Su Yan walked out from inside, then froze in place. Her pupils dilated instantly, and she stared blankly at Bai Xingfan, holding a bottle of milk in her hand. This time she came out of the bedroom to deliver a bottle of milk to Bai Xingfan because the milk would help him get a good sleep. Who would have known that this time he had started to change his clothes?

Bai Xingfan sighed and fastened the buttons again. “What’s the matter?”

Su Yan: “I, I…” She originally wanted to say: My bottle of milk can help you sleep well. But the scene in front of her was so exciting that her language system was seriously disordered, so what she said became: “This bottle of good milk can help me sleep with you.”

Bai Xingfan: “…”

Su Yan: ‘What did I say?’
