Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Lin Bufan's sudden action made Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing dumbfounded and they stood there in a daze.

Xu Hongdou was the first to react, her cheeks flushed red, and she frantically pushed Lin Bufan away: "You, you got the wrong person! I'm Xu Hongdou!"

Lin Bufan jumped back as if scalded, staring at Xu Hongdou with wide eyes, his colorful hair trembling in shock: "What? You're Hongdou?" He slapped his forehead exaggeratedly, his tone annoyed: "It's my fault! Look at my eyes, I made a mistake in my excitement! The main thing is that you two are so much alike, you could have been cast from the same mold..."

Lin Bufan stole a glance at Xu Hongdou's face as he spoke. Seeing that she was still stern, he immediately changed her expression to a pitiful one: "Hongdou, don't be angry! I haven't seen Rose for a whole day, and I miss her so much that I'm dizzy. If you don't feel relieved, how about... you kiss her back? I promise not to resist!"

"You wish!" Xu Hongdou glared at Lin Bufan unhappily, then ignored him and turned her attention to Chen Nanxing's situation: "Nanxing, how are you feeling? You've been out for so long, are you tired? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Chen Nanxing didn't respond. Her eyes were wide open and she pointed at Xu Hongdou's cheek with trembling fingers. Her voice was intermittent due to excitement and weakness: "Hongdou! You...he...he kissed you just now! Are you...are you..." Her pale face was slightly flushed with excitement, and her eyes were surprisingly bright, as if she had discovered some huge secret.

Xu Hongdou's cheeks turned even redder, but she forced herself to remain calm. She reached out to tuck the strands of hair away from her ears, her eyes drifting away as she spoke in a calm tone, "Didn't he say... that he just recognized the wrong person... He mistook me for Rose... You know, he and Rose have a very good relationship..."

Chen Nanxing was naturally not so easily fooled. He moved his lips and wanted to ask more questions, but Xu Hongdou took the initiative to push the wheelchair and said in an unquestionable tone: "Okay, Nanxing, your uncle and aunt must be waiting anxiously. Let's go back first and don't let them worry." As she said that, she pushed the wheelchair and walked quickly towards the inpatient department without saying a word, not giving Chen Nanxing a chance to speak again.

After safely returning Chen Nanxing to the ward, he was met with anxious inquiries from his parents. Xu Hongdou soothed him with a few gentle words before pulling Lin Bufan out.

As soon as she walked out of the ward and out of sight, the gentleness on Xu Hongdou's face disappeared instantly. She stopped abruptly, turned around, stared at Lin Bufan sharply, and lowered her voice: "Lin Bufan, you just did that... on purpose, didn't you?"

Lin Bufan blinked his eyes, looking innocent: "Ah? What do you mean by intentional? Hongdou, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Still pretending!" Xu Hongdou's cheeks flushed with anger, and she pointed at the cheek where she had just been kissed. "Wrong person? This lame excuse might be enough to fool Nanxing, but do you think you can fool me? You're clearly taking advantage of the opportunity!"

Lin Bufan muttered softly: "I don't think Nanxing was fooled either?"

"You!" Xu Hongdou took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "So you admit that you did it on purpose?"

Of course, we cannot admit it, even if everyone already knows it!

"Ah, ah, ah—Hongdou, please don't say anything nonsense. I haven't admitted anything!"

Seeing that Lin Bufan was determined not to admit it, Xu Hongdou had no choice but to say sternly, "Lin Bufan, I'm warning you, this is the first and last time! If you dare to do this again... our agreement will be automatically void!"

Lin Bufan's eyes widened immediately, his face full of "disbelief": "No way, Hongdou? Just because of a pure, friendly kiss on the cheek that happened out of mistaken identity, you're going to give up on treating Nanxing? Are you going to watch her die without helping her? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"You!" Xu Hongdou was so angry at Lin Bufan's accusation that she was speechless. She took several deep breaths to suppress her anger: "Lin Bufan! Don't change the subject! Let's put things in perspective! Nanxing's illness must be treated, but this... this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the opportunity must be stopped!"

"Okay, okay, no, no." Lin Bufan raised his hands in surrender, but his expression was as aggrieved as a child whose candy was snatched away: "I promise to try not to recognize the wrong person in the future, okay? But then again, the main responsibility actually lies with you and Rose. It's your fault that you look like copy-paste. It's a hellish difficulty for someone like me with poor eyesight..."

Xu Hongdou was too lazy to argue with Lin Bufan anymore. She glared at him fiercely and turned to leave. Lin Bufan looked at her angry back, a triumphant smirk on his lips, and slowly followed her.

Lin Bufan had just wandered into the hotel lobby, his colorful hair shimmering like a moving neon sign under the lights, drawing the attention of several front desk staff. He was just debating whether to first seek out Xu Hongdou to "strengthen their relationship" or to meet Yang Tao to "cultivate their destiny" when his phone began buzzing in his pocket.

I took it out and saw the caller ID - "Da Mimi".

Lin Bufan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised but also feeling it made sense. He lazily swiped the phone open, but before he could even put it to his ear, a lazy, teasing female voice rang out from the other end. The tone was drawn out, like a small hook coated in honey:

"Junior Lin... I heard you came to Kyoto?"

Lin Bufan held the phone further away, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Hey, Sister Mi? You're really well-informed, aren't you? I just landed not long ago, and you're already checking up on me?"

On the other end of the line, Yang Mi chuckled softly, her voice carrying a rustling quality through the electricity. "Checking on me? I don't have the time for that. It was you who caused such a scene at the school celebration with your colorful... sea urchin hair. I wouldn't have known about it, would I? The video is practically flooding my WeChat Moments."

Lin Bufan proudly shook his hair, even though the person on the other end of the line couldn't see him. "Tsk, there's nothing I can do. I'm a rare talent, like a firefly in the dark night. Wherever I go, I'm so bright and outstanding. It's hard to keep a low profile!"

"Come on, stop being so mean." Yang Mi scolded him with a smile, then her tone became ambiguous and she lowered her voice: "I'm currently filming in Kyoto. Are you interested in visiting me tomorrow?"

Lin Bufan leaned against the marble countertop at the hotel reception desk, tapping his fingers intermittently. "Visiting? How boring. A bunch of people staring at me, and I have to be miles away to talk. If it's a room check..." He paused deliberately, lowering his voice, with a hint of ambiguity in his tone, "Then I can reluctantly go over in person and thoroughly examine Sister Mi's work."

Yang Mi spat softly from the other end of the line, her voice both coquettish and charming: "Go to hell! You wish! You're even making rounds? You're so flattered! I'm just visiting the set, come if you want!"

"Come! Why not?" Lin Bufan immediately interjected, his expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book: "Sister Mi calls, and I'll brave the mountains of swords and seas of fire! Send me the address, and I'll be there right away! I'll show you what Kyoto's fastest delivery is all about!"

Looking at the hotel address and room number sent by Yang Mi, Lin Bufan couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

Although Lin Bufan had never visited a female star on set in his previous life, no matter what, this visit would not mean going to the female star's room in the middle of the night, right?

Therefore, Lin Bufan concluded that there must be something fishy going on here!

The facts were exactly as Lin Bufan had expected. When Lin Bufan found the star-rated hotel according to the address and knocked on Yang Mi's door, the scene in front of him made him raise his eyebrows.

Yang Mi, inside, had clearly prepared herself meticulously. She wore a sharply tailored black patent leather suit, a tight-fitting top that accentuated her impressive curves. High-waisted leather pants and over-the-knee boots accentuated her imposing presence. The most striking thing about her was the short whip adorned with a metal buckle, which she was fiddling with, tapping it intermittently against her palm. She leaned against the doorframe, a hint of a half-smile on her red lips, her eyes etched with a hint of provocation and playfulness, the very image of a queen waiting for her prey.

Before Lin Bufan could open his mouth to tease him, he saw the short whip coming towards his arm with a sound of breaking through the air, neither lightly nor heavily!

"Hiss—" Lin Bufan reacted quickly, dodging the main force, but the whip still grazed his arm, leaving a burning sensation. His eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Mi with a look of disbelief: "Holy crap! Sister Mi, are you serious?"

Yang Mi chuckled, flicked her wrist, and raised the whip again. Her offensive power increased instead of decreasing. It was obvious that she came prepared and intended to give this arrogant junior a warning.

However, Lin Bufan was not the type to sit still and wait for death. After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately realized that since Yang Mi wanted to play, he would naturally accompany her to the end!

The room became a makeshift battlefield. With Yang Mi's initial advantage and the strength of her "weapon," she launched a fierce attack, whip shadows flying, attempting to force Lin Bufan into a corner. However, Lin Bufan was incredibly agile, always managing to dodge the sharp whip tip with a fraction of a second, while constantly looking for opportunities to close in.

It was a silent struggle, punctuated by the sounds of rapid breathing, the rubbing of fabric, and the subtle crackling of whips. Yang Mi's attacks carried an oppressive beauty, while Lin Bufan's evasions were filled with effortless composure.

Hours of intense fighting unfolded in this tiny space. Eventually, Yang Mi's energy ran out, and her offensive slackened. Lin Bufan seized this fleeting opportunity, closing in. With one hand, he precisely parried her next swing of the wrist, and with his other hand, he easily snatched the whip that had been causing so much trouble, effectively turning the tables.

The outcome has been decided.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a thin strip of light on the carpet in the hotel room.

Yang Mi lazily turned over, her arms casually draped over her side, her fingertips brushing against the skin of the person beside her. She closed her eyes, her voice hoarse like a hangover and a hint of satisfaction as she mumbled incoherently, "Junior Lin...you were really good last night..."

Her voice was very soft, like a dream talk, or like the whisper between lovers, and soon dissipated in the air of the quiet room.

Lin Bufan reached out and pulled Yang Mi into his arms, a wicked smile curling his lips: "How about it, Sister Mi? The morning light is beautiful, do you want to spar with me again?"

Yang Mi was shocked and quickly put her hands on Lin Bufan's chest: "No! I really can't do it!" Her voice was still hoarse: "I still have work to do today..."

"Didn't you say last night that you would go to the crew in the afternoon?" Lin Bufan's fingers gently curled the hair of Yang Mi that was scattered on the pillow.

"Nonsense!" Yang Mi glared at Lin Bufan unhappily. "Now, if you ask me to go to the crew, can I make it?" She rubbed her aching waist and said helplessly, "Okay, if you want to continue sparring, go next door. There's a surprise next door."

Lin Bufan's eyes lit up, and then he immediately said seriously, "Sister Mi, you're going too far! Who do you think I, Lin Bufan, am? Do you think I'll just run over to you if you arrange for a few of your company's little stars to stay next door? I'm telling you, Yang Mi, you underestimate me! I, Lin Bufan, am a real man, and I would never resort to such despicable tactics as those unspoken rules!"

Looking at Lin Bufan's righteous expression, Yang Mi's face was filled with black lines. She couldn't help but pinch his arm: "What are you thinking? Hidden rules, you wish!"

"Huh?" Lin Bufan couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Didn't you arrange a few artists from your company in the next room just to make me laugh, and then use coercion and inducement to make them please me?"

Yang Mi was so angry that she bit Lin Bufan's arm: "Don't dream! The person next door is your little lover Gao Wen!"

Lin Bufan was surprised: "Gao Wen is also in Kyoto?"

"Scumbag!" Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Lin Bufan. "You've tricked me into giving you money, and now you're just going to leave me alone? You don't even know where I'm filming?"

Lin Bufan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "No, I'm a little busy recently..."

Yang Mi naturally knew that Lin Bufan was talking nonsense, so she took the initiative to explain: "Qu Xiaoxiao arranged for Gao Wen to join the crew of 'Eternal Love', playing the role of Feng Jiu. They happen to be filming at the Kyoto Film and Television Base these days, and they live next door to me."

Fengjiu?!

Is it so magical?

Sure enough, fate is beyond words!

Thinking of the arrogant Gao Wen, Lin Bufan instantly lost his sleepiness. He immediately got up and walked towards the bathroom, and the sound of running water soon rang out.

Yang Mi looked at Lin Bufan's back and couldn't help cursing, "This bastard is really a donkey..."

Half an hour later, Lin Bufan appeared at the door of the next room, refreshed and refreshed. He knocked gently, and Gao Wen's alert voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Room service." Lin Bufan lowered his voice.

After Gao Wen saw through the peephole that it was Lin Bufan, she immediately opened the door and rushed over excitedly, wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes sparkling, "Why are you here?"

Lin Bufan smiled and stretched out his hand, holding Gao Wen steadily: "I missed you, so I came to see my little Fengjiu."

Gao Wen buried her face in the crook of Lin Bufan's neck, greedily inhaling the fresh scent from his body, but she refused to give in: "Humph! If you really missed me, you would have flown over to see me a long time ago. Why would you wait until now?"

"Oh, my little ancestor," Lin Bufan carried Gao Wen into the room and closed the door with his heel. "You know I'm busy all day long. Saving the world and maintaining peace are all counting on me! I can take this precious time out of my busy schedule to come and see you. Just be happy!"
