With Lu Jinnian's reminder, Qiao Anhao suddenly remembered what she had to do. Her fingers paused for a moment, and she gently nodded. She quickly applied the eye cream, then turned to look at Lu Jinnian. She pursed her lips and said, "Auntie Xu just called. She said that next Friday is Brother Jiamu's birthday. She wants to hold a birthday party, so I need you..."
Qiao Anhao stopped mid-sentence. She couldn't bring herself to say the rest of the sentence, "Pretend to be Xu Jiamu and act with me". In the end, she fell silent.
Even though Qiao Anhao didn't finish her sentence, Lu Jinnian understood what she wanted to say the moment she mentioned Xu Jiamu's birthday. His expression didn't change much, and he gave her a slight nod. He let out a lazy "Oh", then turned his head and continued to stare at the television.
The warm lights in the room enveloped Lu Jinnian's body, making his handsome side profile seem a little hazy.
Qiao Anhao stared at him for a while. When she was sure that he didn't seem unhappy, she relaxed her tense emotions. She turned to face the vanity mirror, and started to comb her hair. Halfway through, she suddenly said, "Zhao Meng told me everything last night. Thank you."
Lu Jinnian stared at the television with a calm expression. He let out a faint "Mmh".
"And Lin Shiyi and producer Sun, thank you too."
Lu Jinnian seemed surprised that Qiao Anhao knew all this. His hand holding the remote trembled slightly, and he casually turned it. He nodded, but didn't say a word.
Qiao Anhao combed her hair, and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she still tried to persuade him. "Actually, there's no need to force producer Sun to withdraw his investment. In the future, I'll just hide from him. If 'Alluring Times' doesn't get funded, your money will also be wasted."
Lu Jinnian stopped turning the remote. He stared at the television, blinking every now and then. After a long while, he turned his head and glanced at Qiao Anhao. In a calm voice, he said, "I've already taken care of that."
"Oh." She put down the comb and stood up. She glanced at Lu Jinnian before climbing into bed.
Lu Jinnian heard the commotion, turning his head to look at Qiao Anhao on the bed. Other than her, the bear she liked to hug wasn't there. He froze for a moment, then turned his head back to the television. He lowered the volume to the lowest and turned off the lights.
The entire world quietened down. Qiao Anhao snuggled into the blankets, her eyes closed as her imagination ran wild. After some time, she faintly felt Lu Jinnian lying beside her. Just like before, there was a long distance between the two of them, and because there was no bear to obstruct them, it seemed a little empty.
As the night deepened, Qiao Anhao could clearly hear the rhythm of his breathing. His light and pleasant scent wafted into her nostrils.
Qiao Anhao's heart was filled with anticipation. She wanted something to happen between them, but she didn't have the courage to take the initiative. She could only stiffen, not daring to move.
