Mei Xiaofei gently bit her shoulder. After going out, she had even less flesh left on her body, and all she could feel was bone. In her excitement, her pity and heartache turned into a gentle kiss.

When they looked at each other, Yu Qingtong's dreamy and serene eyes gazed at the face that had appeared in her dreams countless times. The entanglement in her heart was too heavy and overwhelming, almost drowning her in guilt.

They were clearly enemies, and she clearly hated her, yet she also knew clearly that she loved her, that she loved Mei Xiaofei.

Her hand, now slender, emerged from the water and caressed the unusually gentle face. She kissed it without hesitation, but quickly pulled away, the smile reaching her eyes.

"Mei Xiaofei, why do you have such a handsome face, yet you never smile? I love seeing you smile; you look even more beautiful when you smile..."

Mei Xiaofei looked at her tenderly and affectionately, and smiled at her request.

"Yes, that's the kind of smile I like."

"Do you like me?"

The soft voice concealed uncertainty.

Yu Qingtong suppressed her smile, and still somewhat drunk, she suddenly pushed her away. She turned her head away, seemingly wanting to escape again.

Mei Xiaofei, who was usually calm and confident, became tense and uneasy at this moment. She held her in her arms and wouldn't let her leave even for a moment.

"Answer me, do you... like me?"

The two looked at each other, both suppressing their breathing and controlling their emotions.

"I hate you..."

Yu Qingtong's smile vanished, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

Mei Xiaofei looked surprised. She had always known that she hated her and loathed her, but hearing her say it out loud made her heart ache uncontrollably.

It felt as if something sharp had pierced his heart, just like when the two of them had parted on bad terms before.

"Mei Xiaofei, I hate you, I..."

A kiss silenced the words she was about to utter.

She tries to avoid him, but he keeps chasing her.

The weak Yu Qingtong was powerless to resist.

Mei Xiaofei gave her no chance to retaliate, grabbed a bath towel, wrapped it around her, picked her up, and carried her back to the bedroom.

The night was long, and the two restless people didn't finally calm down until five o'clock.

Yu Qingtong, whose body was completely limp, had all her remaining strength drained by Mei Xiaofei, and her voice was hoarse from shouting.

Covered in hickeys and teeth marks, she seemed to be floating in the clouds, unsure of where to place herself.

Mei Xiaofei, however, still had energy. He held her in his arms on the bed, playing with her fingers and hair.

If you dislike someone, then make them not dislike you; if you hate someone, then don't make them hate you.

She'll always find a way to keep her by her side, to make her willingly like her.

When Shu Xiangyu woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. Today's itinerary was still mostly in Haishi, so there was still plenty of time.

She calmed her still somewhat tired mind, came out of the bedroom, and found the house quiet as usual, as if Momo had disappeared somewhere.

After a quick wash, just as I was about to make myself a cup of coffee, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Schimerlin walked in carrying breakfast.

The two, who were not far apart, glanced at each other, an awkwardness spreading between them. They then looked away, tacitly agreeing not to mention what had happened the night before.

Schimerlin walked to the table and opened the breakfast.

"I just bought some of your favorite foods, they're all still warm."

Seeing that her face was flushed and she was sweating, Shu Xiangyu knew that she had run there and then ran back.

Despite not having much of an appetite, she still went to the kitchen and took out two clean bowls and chopsticks.

After the food was set out, they sat at separate tables, eating different kinds of steamed buns and tea eggs, and drinking freshly ground soy milk.

When do you start school?

Hearing her calm and ordinary question.

Schimerling slowed his movements: "The instructor sent a notice telling us to return to school tomorrow to prepare for welcoming the new students..."

Shu Xiangyu forced down two steamed buns and half a tea egg, wiped his mouth and hands with a tissue, and looked up at her: "Is there anything else today?"

She had just taken a bite of the xiaolongbao when she shook her head, indicating that she didn't want any.

"Then come with me to the recording of the endorsement video. I should be able to get back tonight."

She didn't ask her if she wanted to go, and simply got up and went back to her bedroom.

Xi Molin barely chewed it, swallowing half a xiaolongbao whole, and immediately felt a bit choked in his throat.

She actually made me go with her to record an endorsement video...

Around nine o'clock, Ni Qing came upstairs to pick up Shu Xiangyu and asked him to bring Xi Molin along as well.

Inside the van, Shu Xiangyu sat behind the driver, Ni Qing sat beside her, and Xi Molin sat in the most spacious back seat.

The car drove smoothly on the overpass, and the weather remained sunny.

Ni Qing was discussing work details with Shu Xiangyu. Xi Molin couldn't quite understand what they were saying. He hadn't slept well last night and was so sleepy that he couldn't stay awake for long before falling asleep with his head tilted to the side.

After finishing her business, Shu Xiangyu turned around and looked behind her, her delicate eyebrows suddenly curving into a smile.

He didn't even feel the seatbelt pressing against his head; that's how soundly he was sleeping.

She unbuckled her seatbelt, shifted her position, and asked in a low voice, "Old Tu, how much longer until we arrive?"

Lao Tu glanced at the navigation: "It will probably take another hour or so... If there's traffic, it could take more than two hours."

Shu Xiangyu bent down and went to the back seat, quietly sitting next to the silly wooden girl, supporting her head which was tilted to one side as she slept, and resting it on his shoulder.

Shermelin felt exceptionally comfortable and nuzzled against her neck.

Shu Xiangyu looked down at her, who was still fast asleep, and his slightly tense heart relaxed a lot.

Seeing this, Ni Qing didn't say anything and continued to look down at tomorrow's schedule.

For a full hour and a half, Shu Xiangyu remained seated without moving, while the silly blockhead beside her was probably too sleepy and didn't wake up the whole time.

Ni Qing looked tired.

She whispered, "We're almost there, should we wake her up...?"

"We'll talk about it when we get there."

Shu Xiangyu gently supported her head from time to time. The car's speed varied, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it easy to shake her head off the road.

Upon arriving at the filming location, the car came to a stop, and the driver and Ni Qing got out first.

Shu Xiangyu turned slightly to the side and gently patted her face: "Wooden head, wake up, wake up...we're here."

The calling woke Ximerlin from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes, still groggy and unsure of where she was. With her eyes closed, she held her neck, which ached so badly it felt like it was about to break.

Did you sleep well?

The gentle, deep voice and the familiar, refreshing scent drew her attention. Her surprised eyes met the calm, deep gaze of the man. This close proximity was something she had never imagined.

"You stay in the car for a bit, I'll go first..."

Ignoring her stiff and numb body, Shu Xiangyu got up and got out of the car.

Ximerlin stared blankly as she left. Had she been sleeping next to her on the way here?

My sister isn't angry with her anymore...

She got out of the car quickly, and Ni Qing was still waiting for her beside the car.
