Castle Peak Like Jade

In the early morning, Sheng Ting ordered breakfast and was waiting at the dining table. He didn't know how many times he looked at a certain door.

She shouldn't be awake yet.

After waiting for a while, seeing that it was getting late and fearing that she would feel uncomfortable on an empty stomach, Sheng Ting finally walked over and knocked on the door.

No one responded.

The man pursed his thin lips into a thin line and said in a low voice, "Bubbles, have breakfast."

A moment of silence.

After thinking about it, he dialed the phone.

Not long after the call was connected, a woman's clear voice came, "Hello?"

"Come out and eat something. Your stomach is not good. You can't keep your stomach empty in the morning."

"I've eaten it, you can eat it."

Sheng Ting paused and looked at the milky white door for a few seconds before speaking, "I canceled my flight back and will stay with you for a few more days. I heard there will be an acrobatic performance today and a fireworks display tonight. Do you want to clean up and let's go? Playing in the scenic spot?”

Originally, today was the day to return, but Chu Shuang's condition was really worrying. He had handed over the work matters for the next week to Chen Jiazhou last night.

Chushuang: "We are busy over there. You can go back alone. I will walk around to relax."

"I'm not busy. I've coordinated everything with Chen Jiazhou. He knows what to do. Do you have a place you want to go? I'll accompany you."

"I've already set off."

The man lowered his eyes suddenly, stretched out his hand and unscrewed the bedroom door without locking it.

Looking towards the room, I saw it was empty and the quilts were neatly arranged, as if no one had been there.

Her throat tightened, Sheng Ting's thin lips opened and closed several times, her voice was extremely hoarse, "Where are you going?"

"Go around, I'll be safe, don't worry."

Sheng Ting was so confused that she couldn't sleep all night. She was able to rest just before dawn. She only slept for three hours. As soon as she woke up, she started ordering breakfast for her. Unexpectedly...

The man's eyes dimmed, she left very early...

It was as if she was avoiding him on purpose.

Any earlier or later would have been noticed by him. She was very smart and chose that time.

"You..." the man's throat rolled slightly, "how many days are you going to stay outside?"

"I don't know. If I want to go home, I will go back."

There was a car horn honking on the other side of Chushuang, and her voice came through clearly, "So you go back to the imperial capital first, and I will relax by myself."

After a long pause, Sheng Ting opened her mouth and her voice was extremely dry, "Chu Shuang..."

"Don't be like this, let me stay with you, let me stay by your side."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone. The man's eyes were dim and his knuckles turning white unconsciously while holding the phone, "Baby, I know you are sad..."

Halfway through his words, he felt a slight lump in his throat. He calmed down for two seconds before speaking again.

"I made a mistake, I made you sad and you had to vent it out by beating me and scolding me. You have internalized your emotions and it's already hard enough and uncomfortable. You can't let me digest the mistakes I made by yourself. It shouldn't be Like this, how about you imitate other girls’ tantrums and scold me?”

"If you hold yourself back too hard, something will happen. Where are you? I'll come find you, okay?"

Chushuang: "I need to be alone, can you give me some time? Don't worry, I'm really just walking around to relax and won't do anything stupid."

Her voice was calm and soft, as if it would be blown away by the wind, it was obviously a gentle tone, but she could hear the firmness that could not be rejected.

There was a voice from the other end calling to get in the car.

"I got in the car."

Sheng Ting loosened and tightened her fingers, and finally moved her lips, "Remember to go home when you are tired. I will always be behind you, and so will your family."

"Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Chushuang was silent for two seconds and then hummed.

As the bus started driving, the scenery outside the window receded all the way, and cirrus clouds dotted the horizon. After watching it for a long time, my eyes became sore.

Lin Su sent a message: [Are you in the car? 】

[Just got on the airport bus. 】

[How long is your flight? 】

Chushuang: [Including the transfer waiting time, it will take about 10 hours. 】

Lin Su: [It’s already evening when we arrive in Korla. I have a night show tonight and I might not be able to leave. I’ll ask my assistant to pick you up at Licheng Airport in advance. 】

【it is good. 】

The weather was a bit hot today, and the front seat passenger did not close the window. Even if the air conditioner was turned on in the car, he still felt waves of heat rushing to his face.

Turning her head slightly to avoid direct sunlight, she unscrewed a bottle of ice water and drank it, then continued to send messages to Lin Su.

[Is it very hot in Korla today? 】

It took a few minutes for the other person to reply: [The dog's feet would jump after walking on the ground for three seconds. It's no exaggeration at all. It's like being in a large high-temperature steamer. It's more torturous than the great sage was in an alchemy furnace. 】

Looking at her humorous metaphor, Chushuang chuckled.

Lin Su: [There is no role for me now. Two fans are blowing on me and I am still sweating. This is just on the edge of the desert. If you get lost in the hinterland of the desert in this weather, only one of you will die. I have to come here because of work. So I really don’t understand why you want to come to the desert. 】

Chushuang: [I saw pictures of desert sunsets in magazines at the hotel yesterday, and wanted to experience the wonders of the vast desert in person. 】

[Then I can only go out in the evening. I really can’t stand it during the day.In fact, it’s my first time to watch the sunset in the desert. It’s really beautiful. You might as well come and relax. 】

It was almost eleven o'clock when Chushuang arrived at Licheng Airport. When she met Lin Su's assistant, she originally wanted to treat him to a late-night snack. Xiangxiang said that they had just finished dinner, and she grabbed her belly and said she couldn't. If she gets fatter, her boss will criticize her.

According to Korla's time and schedule, it was just after sunset, so it was not really a midnight snack, but Chushuang had been hungry all day, so he found a beef noodle restaurant on the street.

"Does Lin Su still care about you?"

Xiang Xiangchu watched Chu Shuang eating beef noodles and nodded, "Guan, she is a perfectionist and must do what she says. She not only has high demands on herself, but also on those around her."

Chushuang bent her lips, "But she is very gentle."

Xiangxiang nodded, "I'm used to being controlled by her, and many of my living habits have improved. When I'm with her, I feel positive and progressing every day. When I'm not with her, I always feel like something is missing."

"It's great that you know each other and cherish each other."

Xiangxiang's eyebrows are round, and the corners of her lips are curved when she is not smiling, making her very friendly and cute.

Looking at the man who was eating noodles with his head down, she slightly curved her eyes and said sincerely, "You look so good."

Chushuang raised her eyes.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?"

Xiangxiang paused, "Is there any?"

"It's beautiful."

When we drove back, the crew hadn't finished yet. Chu Shuang was waiting for Lin Su to film on the set late at night.

Xiangxiang arranged a chair for her to rest and went to watch her boss behind the camera.

Chu Shuang watched it for a while, then opened her phone and saw several new messages, from Yaoyao, her cousin, and Sheng Ting.

Yaoyao and her cousin should have known that she did not go back with Sheng Ting. The messages she sent were all filled with unobvious care and worry. Chushuang patiently replied to them one by one.

He glanced at Sheng Ting's profile picture below and clicked on it.

At eight o'clock in the afternoon: [Did you have fun today? 】

[-]pm: [Have you returned to the hotel? 】

There was a missed call at ten o'clock in the evening.

10:30 pm: [Paopao, call me back when you see the message. I’m worried about you. 】
