Wu Tongxue leaned back subtly and picked up her phone under Huo Buyan's gaze.

Xie Yunxiao: [Want to have dinner together tonight?]

Huo Buyan appeared calm and composed, but his gaze never left his phone.

He simply asked, "Are you going out later?"

A calm gaze fell upon her dark eyes. Wu Tongxue shook her head, still holding her phone. "I'm not going. I've already ordered takeout."

"Ah."

Huo Buyan appeared calm, but in reality, he was constantly watching his movements.

Wu Tongxue moved to a slightly farther position from Huo Buyan, and was playing on her phone while facing him, with the phone facing away from him.

Huo Buyan adjusted his glasses and pressed his temples, as if afraid that Huo Buyan wouldn't know that he was hiding something.

He frowned slightly, but his mood calmed down.

She took off her glasses and placed them aside, quietly waiting for him to make his move.

A little while later, Wu Tongxue moved closer to him again, "Are you free tonight?"

Huo Buyan nodded, his heart pounding.

The next second, a tablet was shoved into her hand. Wu Tongxue smiled and said, "I've filmed a lot of dramas while you were gone. I've downloaded them all. You can watch them when you have time."

Her smile is as sweet as drinking a cup of hot sugar water on a winter's day; her face is adorable.

Huo Buyan looked at him intently, the slight stiffness in his lips relaxing. He raised his hand to smooth the hair on Huo Buyan's head, almost pulling him into his arms.

A breath of warm air brushed past her earlobe, and Wu Tongxue tilted her head and looked up at him.

"Remember to read them all."

Huo Buyan: "...Okay."

"Then... is there a reward?" Huo Buyan leaned down to look at him, his deep eyes seeming to hold him captive, his tone gentle.

Wu Tongxue's ears turned red instantly, and her eyes darted away.

So close...

"You—" Huo Buyan was shocked to be pushed onto the sofa without expecting to be pushed down.

Wu Tongxue knelt to one side, pulled out his tie, and twisted it around her hand as she did so. Her tone was light and sly, "Don't move."

The feeling of constriction at the back of my neck gradually intensified, my heart raced, and my breathing became heavier...

Wu Tongxue propped herself up on one hand above him, her gaze slowly shifting from the tie upwards, landing on the buttons, and then on the Adam's apple.

A warm kiss landed...

Huo Buyan's dark pupils suddenly dilated, as if fireworks were bursting in his eyes.

Her body was awakened by a slight tremor, and the intimate, lingering breaths were right next to her.

A pair of iron arms tightly gripped her slender waist, as if they wanted to completely integrate her into their very bones.

Temperature is gradually rising...

"I'm hungry." Starving, Wu Tongxue pushed away the person who was clinging to her.

Her lips were swollen and glistening, and her watery eyes were soft. In a weak, feeble voice, she warned, "You're not allowed to kiss me anymore."

Huo Buyan touched his belly, and Wu Tongxue, already used to his little gestures, changed to a more comfortable position and lay in his arms.

It was quite comfortable to use as a pillow. Wu Tongxue leaned against it, playing on her phone, and checked her current task progress. She had finally made some progress... a little bit.

In short, the progress bar moves much faster than before.

Wu Tongxue was in a good mood, and a smile was always on her face.

While scrolling through her phone, Wu Tongxue suddenly realized she had a lot of spam messages. She tapped on them to delete them, but her finger paused.

There's a number that keeps sending messages every day, and judging from the comments, it seems like a fan?

Unfortunately, it was categorized as spam text messages and went unnoticed until today.

The takeout arrived quickly, but Wu Tongxue put that aside for the time being; filling her stomach was the most important thing.

Huo Buyan didn't need to eat. After calming down, he picked up his computer and continued working. Wu Tongxue, on the other hand, ate dinner while watching a comedy. Huo Buyan glanced at him, subconsciously relaxed, and then continued to immerse himself in his work.

He needs to hurry back and openly assert his sovereignty.

The next day, Wu Tongxue went to the film set as usual, but he was being watched more often than usual. It seemed that the trending topic had played a significant role. Although more people were watching, no one came up to ask him any questions.

The director manages the staff well; no one gossips about them to their faces.

Soon after, Xie Yunxiao arrived, and immediately went to Wu Tongxue's side with a clear purpose.

He waved the script in his hand, his long, slender fingers flashing in front of Wu Tongxue, and said with a light laugh, "We'll go over the lines later. Have you had breakfast?"

"I ate xiaolongbao on the way here."

"This morning I..."

The two walked inside talking, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

Hidden behind the staff, someone's gaze swept lightly across the front. The brim of their hat was pulled low, obscuring their face, revealing only their profile and the almost pale skin on their jawline.

He watched quietly as the two walked away, exchanging words. A passing staff member called out to him, "Hurry up and get back to work."

Wu Tongxue turned around and glanced at the scene, but found nothing unusual. A thoughtful look flashed across her eyes.

...a very familiar gaze and warmth.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him turn around, Xie Yunxiao also turned around to look, but didn't find anything.

"It's nothing." Wu Tongxue smiled, looked at the one who was currently the most well-behaved, and gently pushed him on the shoulder. "Let's go."

Xie Yunxiao didn't have time to think much and followed his lead.

Sure enough, as soon as she turned around, Wu Tongxue felt that gaze again, much more clearly than before.

Wu Tongxue moved closer to Xie Yunxiao, completely ignoring the gaze behind her.

A fragrance wafted past his nose, previously faint but now fully noticeable at closer distance. Xie Yunxiao turned his head to speak to him, his eyes darkening for a moment.

Wu Tongxue kept her eyes fixed ahead, unaware of his change, and even if she had, she wouldn't have paid it any mind.

The two days of filming were completed smoothly and quickly. Wu Tongxue's scenes were completely finished, and the post-production work was handled by others. There was supposed to be a wrap party, but he declined.

He just didn't expect that he would run into Jing Liang, whom he had met before, as soon as he left the film set.

Jing Liang leaned against a car. He was tall and burly, with a cigarette between his fingers, its red glowing. He seemed to be thinking about something with a complicated expression. He straightened up immediately when he saw people.

Noticing Wu Tongxue's slightly furrowed brow, he stubbed out his cigarette and threw it in the trash can.

Wu Tongxue watched him walk up to her in a few steps, and asked in confusion, "You were looking for me?"

As he spoke, he twitched his nose, a hint of disgust in his expression; the other person still smelled of smoke.

Jing Liang glanced around. There weren't many people on the street. He opened the back door and gestured for him to get in. "Let's talk in the car."

Jing Liang stood a few steps away from Wu Tongxue, bowed his head and whispered his identity and purpose.

Wu Tongxue was surprised, but not flustered. She told her assistant to go back first and tell the bodyguard before getting into his car.

Once she got in the car, she realized there was a guy in the passenger seat, who was Jing Liang's colleague. Wu Tongxue lost interest in talking to Jing Liang and, feeling a bit sleepy, decided to close her eyes and rest in the back seat.

Completely ignoring the scrutiny from the front.
