They filmed late into the night for a few days.
When they returned to the hotel, the Ai Ci's room was next to Gu Ting's.
She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, but she was lying down properly. Her hands were clasped in front of her abdomen, which was not how she usually slept.
Until two o 'clock in the morning.
The Ai Ci suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and there was no trace of her having just woken up.
She nimbly turned over and got up from the bed. She stood in front of the window and stared at the dark night outside.
In the sky, the half-moon was slowly covered by dark clouds.
The Ai Ci narrowed her eyes. Something flashed in her eyes, and then her figure disappeared little by little.
Then, her figure slowly condensed in another room.
On the bed in the middle of the room, the bedding was bulging.
Gu Ting was lying on his bed. His breathing was long, and he was sleeping properly. The bedding was tightly covered, and the creases on the bedsheets looked like they had been deliberately smoothed out.
He was probably the only person who had obsessive-compulsive disorder when sleeping.
However, the Ai Ci did not have time to complain about this. She pursed her lips, looked solemn, and her eyes were serious.
She looked completely different from usual.
She bent her finger and tapped the air lightly, as if waiting for something.
When she suddenly retracted her finger, a barely visible thread suddenly emitted a faint light. Like a winding snake, it passed through the wall and extended to Gu Ting's head. Then, a red light slowly appeared in the dark room and gradually enveloped Gu Ting.
The Ai Ci stood in front of the bed and looked at the red light with a gloomy expression.
The black gas on Gu Ting's face spread visibly.
Someone was stealing his providence.
The Ai Ci slowly reached out and slowly closed her fingers. The space around the red light seemed to become distorted. The light ball shook violently, trying to escape the Ai Ci's restraint.
The Ai Ci's face was expressionless as she increased the strength of her hand. With a "poof", the red light was instantly extinguished, and the silk thread that was guiding it instantly retreated outwards.
Just as the Ai Ci was about to follow the thread, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Why are you in my room?"
A low and hoarse voice sounded in the room.
Gu Ting woke up.
His eyes were dark as he stared at her with an unpleasant expression.
"I …" The Ai Ci was in a hurry to chase after the thread, but she couldn't just disappear in front of Gu Ting. It was rare for her to feel a little uneasy.
She hesitated for a moment, then decided to go all the way. She casually took a pile of ether gas from a random place and threw it at Gu Ting's face.
"You …"
Gu Ting suddenly felt a pungent smell coming from the tip of his nose, and then his eyelids became heavy. His weak hand slipped from the Ai Ci's wrist, and he swayed twice before falling back onto the bed.
Only then did the Ai Ci chase after the previous trace.
That thing slipped away very quickly, and she actually chased it all the way from Yunnan to the northeast border.
After that, it would be Espoir's territory.
The Ai Ci's footsteps paused. She wandered around the border for a while, but in the end, she didn't continue to chase.
She wasn't ready to see Espoir for the time being.
The last time she saw him in Changbai Mountain, she had already let go of the past, but Espoir didn't seem to have let go.
Forget it, as long as that person dared to make a move on her territory, she would make sure that he wouldn't be able to return.
The Ai Ci took one last look at the North Star, turned around, and strode back. Her figure in the night became fainter and fainter. When the last corner of her clothes completely disappeared, an almost inaudible sigh was left in the air.

"… Cough cough … I'm injured. The opponent is very strong. Cough cough … Gu Ting … can't move for the time being …"
In a manor in Russia, a man in a black suit stood by the window, listening to the intermittent voice on the other end of the phone. After a while, he replied in a flat tone, "Got it."
After hanging up the phone, he respectfully called out to the man who had his back facing him.
"President Yan …"
The man called President Yan turned around and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes were cold.
The man in the suit lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. "… Lin Qiye failed. Gu Ting seems to be protected by a master."
"He can't even handle such a small matter." President Yan played with the wine glass in his hand and said in a flat tone, "Let him go to the Guiyuan Institution to receive his punishment."
"Yes." The man in the suit felt a chill in his heart. The punishment from the Guiyuan Institution would take away half of his life, even if he didn't die.
"Let the Xuan Division send out all the available manpower."
"Yes."
President Yan stared at the wine glass in his hand. He seemed to be talking to himself. His voice was getting lower and lower, but his eyes were getting more and more fanatical. "After tens of thousands of years of waiting, I'm losing my patience …"
The last word was a vague name. The gold-rimmed glasses reflected a cold light. With a "crack", the wine glass broke into pieces.

When the Ai Ci returned to the hotel, the sky was already bright.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Gu Ting was already standing by the door, waiting for her. His face was serious. "Did you enter my room last night?"
The Ai Ci looked at him innocently. "Boss, what are you talking about? I don't have your room card. How could I enter your room? "
Gu Ting stared at her with his sharp eyes. He wanted to see if the Ai Ci was lying.
"Boss, did you have a dream?"
A dream?
Gu Ting had thought of this possibility before.
However, when he woke up this morning, he wasn't lying in the middle of the bed. The sheets were slightly wrinkled. When he slept, he didn't move at all. How could he wake up in a different position in the morning?
However, it was even more impossible for the Ai Ci to sneak into his room.
Firstly, she didn't have the room card. Secondly, he had already checked the surveillance in the corridor. The Ai Ci didn't even leave her room last night.
However, Gu Ting couldn't accept the fact that he moved when he slept.
"Did your cousin really not give you my room card?" In the past, his assistant, Xiao Ou, would take his room card in case he needed it.
The Ai Ci shook her head. "No."
Lin Qing was finally a little more reliable. Although she had found him an assistant, at least she didn't give him a room card.
Could it really be that he was dreaming?
Gu Ting suddenly grabbed the Ai Ci's wrist.
"What are you doing?" The Ai Ci reacted quickly and shook off his hand. Her eyes were alert, as if she was looking at a lecher.
Gu Ting gestured with his fingers. It seemed that there was still a delicate and smooth feeling on his fingers. It was exactly the same as last night. Even the thickness of his wrist didn't change.
Gu Ting's heart was tangled up with doubts and evidence that repeatedly disproved his doubts. He frowned and was in a deadlock with the Ai Ci in the corridor until Lin Qing's voice broke the deadlock.
"Why are you two standing here?" He looked at the two of them strangely.
"Come in, come in." He opened the door to Gu Ting's room with one hand and pulled the two of them into the room to sit down. He took out a stack of documents.
Lin Qing came to talk to Gu Ting about the next week's schedule.
"… I've already told the crew. You'll be flying to Hainan tomorrow to film 'The Speedy Departure'. This variety show was booked before the drama, so I've asked for three days off for you. You'll be partnered with Mo Yi …"
The Ai Ci flipped through the information on 'The Speedy Departure'. This variety show was a racing reality show. At the same time, it tested the tacit understanding, physical strength, and brain power of the guests' partners.
Lin Qing was talking when he suddenly received a phone call. "Hello, Mo Yi, what's wrong? … What? Acute gastroenteritis? Oh my god, what did you eat last night with cold beer and barbecue?! … "
When Lin Qing finally hung up the phone, he looked at Gu Ting with a sad face.
"It's over. Mo Yi can't go with you."
He scratched his head. "Fortunately, the show hasn't made an official announcement yet. But who are you going to find to be your partner now?"
Lin Qing paced around the room. "It's not hard to find someone, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find a partner whose face you can remember! Sigh, why did I accept a reality show for you? Why would a person with late-stage face blindness participate in a reality show! "
He stomped around for a long time and his eyes fell on the Ai Ci. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Why don't you go with him?"
Lin Qing counted on his fingers. "In this variety show, there are husband and wife groups, friends groups, and father-son groups. It doesn't matter if the artist and assistant team up! Also, aren't you going to act as Tang Li? You're going to debut soon. It'll be good to have more exposure! "
… You must have forgotten that you were worried that she wouldn't do her job properly.
