Xia Xingcheng tried to look at Yang Youming in the darkness, wanting to see his expression clearly, but he couldn’t see anything.

Yang Youming was silent for a moment before suddenly reaching out towards Xia Xingcheng, his hand landing next to a clavicle, capturing the hem of the open bathrobe atop his chest and pulling it down, the soft material wedged between his fingers.

Stupefied, Xia Xingcheng didn’t dare move.

Yang Youming’s fingers slid down until they neared his stomach before stopping, pulling the bathrobe towards the middle, then gripping the other side and pulling it over as well, gathering the two sides together.

The revealed expanse of Xia Xingcheng’s fair chest and stomach that extended down under the blanket were now completely covered up by the bathrobe.

Yang Youming said, “Sleep.”

Xia Xingcheng was unwilling. His chest rose and fell fiercely. He raised his hand but lowered it again, wanting to get to the heart of the matter and obtain an answer, and he called out, “Ming ge–“

“It’s late,” Yang Youming interrupted him, using a tone that could not be disobeyed.

Xia Xingcheng immediately shut his mouth. Seeing Yang Youming roll over and turn his back to him, he could only exhale deeply and lie flat and close his eyes as well.

His mind was in a complicated mood, those agitated feelings and lingering questions kept his heartbeat from calming down, so much so that even as he lay there quietly, he was able to hear his own heartbeat. Moreover, it was obvious that his body was extremely exhausted, yet his brain remained awake. He repeatedly thought about Yang Youming’s affairs, and later even reluctantly took off his bathrobe and threw it aside, so he was entirely naked as he slept with Yang Youming under the same blanket.

But Yang Youming no longer gave any responses. Xia Xingcheng didn’t even know if he had fallen asleep.

With his indignance and unwillingness to sleep, in the end, Xia Xingcheng still gradually lost consciousness, slowly falling into a deep sleep.

By the time Xia Xingcheng woke up, it was already the next morning.

When he opened his eyes, he painfully pressed his forehead to endure the headache that came with a hangover, then found that he was wrapped in a blanket, sleeping in the middle of the big bed. His head sunk between two pillows, while Yang Youming who had been beside him was nowhere to be found.

Xia Xing Cheng sat up in bed and buried his face in his hands. He had drunk too much last night, but not too drunk to not remember what he said and did very clearly. It was just that there were some things he might be able to say and do under the dual cover of alcohol and darkness, but once he was soberly exposed to the daylight, he dared nothing.

He sat quietly for a while. The bowl of millet congee he had eaten last night before going to bed has transformed into early morning urine, but when he lifted the blanket halfway up, he realized that he wasn’t wearing any underwear. Not only that, but he also had somewhat of an awkward getting-up-in-the-morning situation, so he promptly stayed under the cover of the blanket, turning sideways to look for the bathrobe he had left by the side of the bed.

And yet the bathrobe wasn’t there either.

Xia Xingcheng was nearly unable to contain himself. He shot a glance around the room. Finding no traces of Yang Youming in his line of sight, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed naked, wanting to go directly to the downstairs bathroom.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the stairs, he met Yang Youming coming up from the floor below.

Yang Youming raised his eyes, and when he saw Xia Xingcheng, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Xia Xingcheng even turned around and ran back to the bed in an instant, using the blanket to cover himself up completely.

Yang Youming came up a while later to the sight of him wrapped in a blanket, revealing only a face so red that it seemed to be dripping blood.

Yang Youming had Xia Xingcheng’s clean clothes from the hotel in his hands. He didn’t say anything, placing the clothes on the side of the bed and turned to leave again.

Xia Xingcheng couldn’t care less at this point and hurriedly put on his clothes and ran towards the bathroom.

When he came back out, he saw Yang Youming standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the first floor living room, gazing out at the swimming pool.

Xia Xingcheng couldn’t do anything to forget the embarrassing scene just a moment ago, and he blushed once again as he walked up to Yang Youming’s side, shouting in a small voice, “Ming ge.”

He wore the same lotus pink t-shirt as he had yesterday, but his hair was a mess and his glasses were missing. In fact, not only were his glasses missing, his room card and mobile phone were also not around. He had set them aside by the pool last night and hadn’t taken them again, but perhaps someone who was also there last night took them away.

Yang Youming shot a glance at him and asked, “Did you sleep well?”

Xia Xingcheng said, “I did.”

Yang Youming nodded, “Let’s go have breakfast.”

Xia Xingcheng asked, “Together?”

When he heard this, Yang Youming asked, “Don’t want to eat?”

Xia Xingcheng promptly said, “I want to, let’s go together.”

Coming out of the villa Yang Youming stayed at, Xia Xingcheng specially took a look at the side of the pool. When he didn’t spot his things, he thought about whether he should go to Wei Zehui or Qin Xueyue later to ask. But no matter who he goes to, he still has to go apologize to Qin Xueyue. Although last night’s incident was an accident, he had made Qin Xueyue lose face.

Someone was running along the edge of the pool. It was a bit far away from where they stood, but he could clearly see that it was a young actor.

That person was looking over at them as he ran.

Xia Xingcheng silently followed Yang Youming to the breakfast buffet, and when he entered the room, he caught sight of Chen Hailan sitting with You Shu and Cai Meting, already in the middle of having breakfast.
