[Recently, a huge scandal has rocked the entertainment industry! Top actress Zhou Yanhuan and rising star Lin Zhihe, who met on set, have reportedly developed feelings for each other. According to paparazzi, the two were spotted having a secret date at a hotel for as long as 12 hours!]

The news sparked widespread discussion. Reportedly, Lin Zhihe was the first to leave the hotel that evening, looking somewhat tired. About half an hour later, Zhou Yanhuan also hurriedly left. This action has led many to speculate that their relationship is more than just casual.

As is well known, Zhou Yanhuan has always been a focus of attention in the entertainment industry, and her love life has been a subject of much interest. This recent "secret hotel meeting" with Lin Zhihe has undoubtedly become a hot topic for the media and fans. Netizens have left comments such as, "This golden couple is such a perfect match!" and "We hope they can go public with their relationship and give everyone an explanation."

However, neither party has responded directly to the matter so far. Is this relationship real, or just a misunderstanding? Let's wait and see. Time will tell, and we look forward to further developments!

This trending topic, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand ripples, causing a huge uproar on the internet. Countless netizens participated, engaging in heated discussions and debates. However, unexpectedly, the woman at the center of this incident remained completely unaware, seemingly uninvolved. She was completely oblivious to the fact that she had become the focus of public attention, and unaware that a storm of public opinion was raging around her.

In a grand seaside villa, the first rays of morning sunlight, like a mischievous child, filtered through the curtains, casting soft rays onto the luxurious bed. A cell phone on the bedside table rang, seemingly determined to keep ringing indefinitely if left unanswered. A strikingly beautiful woman with delicate, mixed-race features and a cool, aloof demeanor answered the phone.

"Hey! Which blind fool dares to disturb my peaceful slumber!" the woman shouted angrily, her voice deafening. Her eyes were tightly closed, her face dazed, clearly not fully awake, but her fiery temper was already on full display. This woman was Zhou Yanhuan.

"My little darling, the internet is full of news about your secret rendezvous with Lin Zhihe at the hotel. Are you still asleep? We're in a real crisis, and you're still sleeping," said Manager Meng Jie helplessly.

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Zhou Yanhuan instantly snapped out of her daze, as if struck by lightning. She opened her eyes and looked around at the familiar surroundings, like a wanderer returning to a long-lost home.

She was actually back! Realizing she was really back, an indescribable surge of excitement welled up inside her. However, this excitement didn't last long. Zhou Yanhuan quickly calmed down and, with a face full of confusion, asked her manager, Sister Meng, on the other end of the phone screen, "Who am I with? What's going on online? What the hell is going on?"

Meng Jie's voice came from the other end of the phone. She seemed somewhat surprised by Zhou Yanhuan's confusion and indifference. "Didn't you check your phone last night?" Meng Jie asked, a hint of disbelief in her voice. Then, she continued, "It's all over Weibo! The whole internet is buzzing about it. With your love of gossip, how could you not know?" Zhou Yanhuan explained to Meng Jie as she sat up in bed, a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I really didn't see it yesterday. You know, I was busy rushing to Hong Kong to catch my flight yesterday!" Zhou Yanhuan explained to Sister Meng on the other end of the phone, sitting up from the bed like a lazy cat.

"Sister Meng, let the company clarify things! You know the situation perfectly well, don't you understand?" Zhou Yanhuan said calmly.

"Okay, I'll have the PR department clarify this." After saying that, Sister Meng hesitated for a long time before cautiously saying, "Happy birthday, Huanhuan." Then she hung up the phone.

When Zhou Yanhuan heard the words "Happy Birthday," she froze. Time seemed to stand still, and her mind went blank. After a long while, she slowly came to her senses, her lips moving slightly as she murmured, "Birthday... Today is his birthday too..." Her voice carried an undisguised bitterness and sorrow.

Her gaze gradually dimmed, her once bright and beautiful eyes now shrouded in a deep sorrow. She closed her eyes, staring intently at the phone screen after the call ended, as if trying to see the shadow of another person through the cold glass.

Her two twin brothers, who were secretly taken away at birth! She wonders where they are now. And now, she's the only one who remembers this special day.

"I'm probably the only one in the world who knows that today is also his birthday..." Zhou Yanhuan sighed softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Host, don't be sad. You still have Xiao Jiu with you. Xiao Jiu will help you find your brother." A soft, cute mechanical voice suddenly rang in Zhou Yanhuan's mind.

"Xiao Jiu? Why did you come back with me? Shouldn't you have gone back to the Time and Space Bureau?!" Zhou Yanhuan asked, both surprised and delighted, as she looked at the air.

She truly hadn't expected that the intelligent system that had always been by her side, helping her complete her missions, would actually follow her back to the real world. Didn't it need to abide by the Time and Space Bureau's regulations? Or did it have some special mission?

“Host, I’m your close partner! You’ve perfectly completed your time-travel mission and can retire with honor! The mainframe has given me a leave of absence. Once you’ve passed away peacefully, I can return to the Time and Space Bureau!” Xiao Jiu answered Zhou Yanhuan’s question excitedly.

Upon hearing Xiao Jiu's answer, Zhou Yanhuan's heart skipped a beat, as if a lightning bolt had struck his mind. He communicated with Xiao Jiu telepathically, asking, "Then will my space and the treasures within it also come back with me?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jiu exclaimed, "Not only that, but all the items in this space have returned to the real world along with you! This is an extra reward from the Time and Space Bureau!"

Its voice was filled with envy and emotion, as if it could feel this special honor. For the host, such a surprise undoubtedly made him feel extremely excited and thrilled.

Zhou Yanhuan was delighted with the reward. After all, these items from another dimension possessed immeasurable value and significance. They concealed some kind of mysterious power or precious resource that could help her achieve greater success in the future.
