Shi Lan bent over, arching her back, and pulled the towel from Yan Shixiuâs hands, then used her chin to point at the door behind her, âMr. Yan, is it time to say goodbye?â
Yan Shixiu looked at her, knowing she was rushing him out, and countered, âIf I lived nearby, could I stay a bit longer?â
âWhy would you stay here?â Shi Lan straightened up and asked with her arms crossed, âBesides, how close can it be?â
Yan Shixiu casually stretched out his hand and pointed next door.
Then, Miss Shi promptly kicked Mr. Yan out of the room.
You dog of a man, chasing after a minor artist, could you be more shameless than me!
Outside, Sun Ling and Yan Shixiuâs assistant stood dumbfounded, watching as Shi Lan pushed Yan Shixiu out, yet both still had that popcorn-watching expression.
The door slammed shut, Yan Shixiu straightened his jacket and said to his assistant, âLetâs go.â
Then, Sun Ling watched in shock as Yan Shixiu took his assistant to the room next door!
âNext door?!!â How thrilling is that?
â¦
In the middle of the night, while writing an email under the lamp, Shi Lan occasionally glanced next door, thinking that since Yan Shixiu was there, perhaps she should try letting go of her human-shaped pillow tonight. Though she didnât get to hug Yan Shixiu in person, being only a wall apart technically counted as sharing the same bed, right?
Thinking this, Shi Lan prepared to hop into bed and kick the human-shaped pillow off.
However, at that moment, the doorbell rang.
Shi Lan checked the time, it was half past eleven at night. Considering the incident with the catch last time, Shi Lan became more cautious, walked barefoot to the door, and asked, âWho is it?â
âItâs meâ¦â came Gu Chengyuâs voice from outside, âAn Lan, donât be afraid, Iâve brought an assistant. You tripped this evening, so Iâve brought you some medicinal liquor, otherwise, your legs will definitely ache tomorrow.â
âNo need,â Shi Lan said through the door, âGo back. The best way you can take care of me is to not look for me privately.â
Gu Chengyu, hearing Shi Lanâs refusal, didnât insist but left the medicinal liquor by her door and added, âIâm sorry, I will clarify those rumors for you in the future, but you should keep your distance from Mr. Yan. These capitalists in the entertainment industry all have their agendas.â@@novelbin@@
Capitalistâs own Miss Shi: ââ¦â
Neighboring capitalist heir Mr. Yan: ââ¦â
Shi Lan was speechless and didnât respond any further.
Fearing being seen, Gu Chengyu sighed and left with his assistant from in front of Shi Lanâs room.
What was up with these stinky men? Not appreciating someone when theyâre alive, but crowding around when theyâre practically dead?
Listening for the absence of noise outside, Shi Lan locked her door, then received a WeChat message from Mr. Yan: â?â
Miss Shi rolled her eyes and replied, âYou and him alike, keep your distance from me.â
Mr. Yan: âI moved here because there is a project starting nearby, convenient for supervision. Also, your assistant told me about your severe insomnia problem.â
Connecting the dots to that human-shaped pillow, Shi Lan suddenly understood, thanks to Sun Ling the loudspeaker.
Shi Lan: âUnderstood.â
In Shi Lanâs heart, her and Yan Shixiuâs issues were internal, to be resolved through internal communication, but Gu Chengyuâs matter was different.
She didnât understand why this deep-well ice suddenly changed his attitude towards her. Could it be just because she no longer liked that idiot, he thought he became desirable again? And yet, despite having a CP, he still sent her coffee and medicinal liquor, as if she had all the time in the world?
