Shen Liangchuan followed Qiao Lian and when he saw her turn on the tap, he frowned and insisted, “You need to wash them with hot water.”

Seeing that she was surprised by his remark, he added, “Cold water is bad for your joints.”

While her hands froze in motion, her heart warmed.

She nodded as she turned on the hot water tap instead to wash her hands.

After dinner, they headed upstairs.

When Shen Liangchuan returned to the bedroom after his shower, he saw that Qiao Lian was sitting on the bed, looking at him.

He paused.

She asked, “When will you be leaving?”

He had not intended to come home when they spoke on the phone yesterday. Hence, it was a surprise when he suddenly appeared at the compet.i.tion venue. From Xia Yehua’s reaction, Qiao Lian concluded that he had just arrived today.

Since he had left the filming location on such short notice, she guessed that he was expected to return very soon.

Indeed, Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips and said, “Tomorrow morning.”

Qiao Lian nodded. She was right.

She said, “You should go and see Yuanxi before you go.”

Shen Liangchuan paused and looked at her questioningly.

Qiao Lian had never been a saint, but this time she had proactively suggested this.

Seeing her magnanimous expression, he cast his gaze down and said, “I don’t think so. We’ll see when I get back from filming.”

Then, he walked to the bed and turned off the lights.

The room was in total darkness.

Lying on the bed quietly, she heard the sound of him breathing next to her ear.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at his silhouette in the darkness. Everything felt a little unreal.

Shen Liangchuan was Zi Chuan.

The whole matter had been like a figment of her imagination, even right up until this moment.

She could not help but break into a smile as she contemplated this.

She wanted to talk to him. “Shen—”

Before she could get another word out, a warm and large hand suddenly emerged from under the blanket to encircle her waist.

Qiao Lian jumped in surprise.

She turned her head sharply and saw that the manly silhouette next to her was descending upon her, all at once.

That familiar manly aroma covered her senses. Before she knew what was going on, his lips pressed up against hers.

She was breathless, making her nervous like never before.

Shen Liangchuan was Zi Chuan.

And right at this moment, sharing the most intimate act in the world with her, was her Zi Chuan.

That strange joy. She felt as though something was rising from within her.

And that night, they both lost some of their sanity.

The man’s heavy gasping and suggestive sounds reverberated within the room for a long time.

Early morning.

Qiao Lian opened her eyes. The s.p.a.ce next to her on the bed was empty.

She looked at the ceiling in a daze. She could not recall how or when she had fallen asleep last night.

She only remembered feeling like something inside her had exploded, which had made her all at once indulgent and unrestrained.

And now, as she lay quietly in bed, she caught a whiff of pleasure lingering in the air.

She could still hear him calling out ‘Xiao Qiao’ in the depth of their ecstasy.

She turned bright scarlet as she reached out to touch her own face. Then she got out of bed, quickly washed up and went downstairs.

Xia Yehua was in the living room. When she saw Qiao Lian, she smiled and said, “Liangchuan left while you were sleeping. He said the filming crew needed him urgently.”

Qiao Lian halted as she said this. A sudden feeling of emptiness overtook her.

She nodded.

She went downstairs and sat down for breakfast, feeling a little distracted.

She had many questions for him.

But the moment she had spoken last night, he had interrupted her.

When she woke up this morning, he was gone.

She wondered if she really had to keep these questions for when he finished filming.

She suddenly looked up at Xia Yehua. “Mom, I’d like to go to Hengdian.”
