Immediately after she closed the door, Xia Yishan made herself instant noodles and lay on her bed with her legs wide open.

She was exhausted, having been drained mentally and physically…

She had to constantly remind herself that she had yet to eat the noodles that she made. She was moments away from falling into a deep sleep.

Knock, knock, knock…

Knock, knock, knock…

The annoying rapping on the door went on.

She could still hear it after covering her ears with her pillow.

Xia Yishan angrily leaped up and went to answer the door…

“Didn’t I ask you to scram?! Do you enjoy being stuck between the door…” Xia Yishan paused when she saw who was waiting.

She then closed the door with a thud.

The impact was such that the bag hanging on it fell off.

Su Jingting rubbed his nose as he stood there. It was fortunate that the door did not slam into his face.

Confused, he asked, “Am I that scary?”

Standing with him, Assistant Sun replied, “You’re not.”

“She’s not happy to see me?”

“I don’t think that’s the case.”

“Then why did she do that?”

“Perhaps Ms. Xia is too excited to see Director Su out of the blue. She didn’t expect you to visit her.” Assistant Su cracked his head trying to think with the logic of a lady.

“Knock again.”

“Yes, sir.”

Knock, knock, knock…

Knock, knock, knock…

When Xia Yishan opened the door again, she had a pretty bag in her hand. She passed it to him with both hands. “Is the Best Actor here to collect his shirt? I’ve already washed it…”

Su Jingting was speechless.

Assistant Sun was dumbstruck as well.

‘Isn’t he here for this?’

The scent of the instant noodles told Xia Yishan that they were almost done. Xia Yishan thought she would eat it after Best Actor Su left.

Su Jingting took his shirt. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Xia Yishan was speechless. ‘What’s happening today that’s bringing everyone to my tiny apartment?’

However, she said sweetly, “Come in, come in. It’s a small apartment. It might be disappointing…”

Su Jingting walked in directly, while Assistant Sun was smart enough to wait for him in the car after bidding farewell. He had his guard up, checking if any of the paparazzi were hiding in the vicinity.

Xia Yishan thought Assistant Sun appeared rather strange before he left. Su Jingting, the Best Actor, was visiting her in the evening, making it seem like they were having a secret rendezvous. People could easily get the wrong idea.

Su Jingting sat on the couch as if he was familiar with the place and put the bag containing his shirt in it on the coffee table. Following the fragrance, he looked at the bowl of instant noodles in the open kitchen. He frowned. “Have you not had dinner?”

“I just got home…”

Su Jingting pulled Xia Yishan to sit next to him. “That’s unhealthy.”

“Don’t worry about it. I only eat this once in a while.”

In reality, she had eaten instant noodles more often than normal meals for two months as she was too busy.

“You’ve lost weight.”

“You’re lying!” Xia Yishan covered her cheeks. “I don’t think I’ve lost weight. I think I’ve actually gained weight.”

“Let me order us some food.” Su Jingting took out his phone and opened a food delivery app.

“No!” Xia Yishan covered Su Jingting’s phone screen with her palm. It was no joke. The delivery guy would stir things up if he found out that it was the Best Actor who ordered food at her apartment in the middle of the night. “Let’s eat this!”

Seeing how adamant she was, Su Jingting put his phone away. Surprisingly, he said, “I haven’t had dinner either. Can you get me some too?”

Xia Yishan was speechless.

“The same flavor as the one you’re having.”

“Sure!”

Xia Yishan got another bowl of instant noodles that was exactly the same as hers.

She had thought the best actor ate healthy food that would fill his stomach while maintaining his amazing body.

She never expected Best Actor Su would be so down to earth!

Best Actor Su watched Xia Yishan making the instant noodles while giggling. The corner of his lips lifted without him realizing..
