Ouch... Did I drink fake liquor last night?

When Chu Tian woke up in the morning, his head throbbed as if it were splitting apart. He kept rubbing his temples, his eyes half-open, still trying to recall how much he had drunk last night.

"You're awake?"

Xu Qingqiu, who had been curled up on the sofa in the reception area, idly scrolling through her phone, saw him wake up and immediately rushed over, pleasantly surprised.

"Hmm~ Huh?!"

When Chu Tian opened his eyes and saw Xu Qingqiu, he didn't react at first. Then, as if something had just dawned on him, he froze completely.

Damn it! Why is Xu Qingqiu here?

This is a hotel, right? My room? What happened last night?

No! I drank too much last night. Who arranged the room? Cao Zheng? Did he put Xu Qingqiu and me in the same room?

Hmph! This Cao Zheng really knows what he's doing. Not bad, not bad at all.

Wait! Why don't I remember anything? I didn't feel anything either! Did I really black out? Wouldn't that be a terrible loss?

My first girlfriend in two lifetimes, and our first time... gone just like that, so muddle-headedly? I didn't even get to savor it! What a massive loss!

Looking at Xu Qingqiu before him, a torrent of thoughts flooded Chu Tian's mind in an instant, and his gaze became somewhat dazed.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Seeing him like this, Xu Qingqiu immediately grew anxious and leaned down to ask.

Unwell? He wasn't sure about that, but Chu Tian definitely felt like he'd lost a fortune.

The first thing he did upon being startled awake by Xu Qingqiu was to throw back the covers and look.

Hmm? No, no!

Take another look!

Yeah, clothes are still on... The clothes are still on?!!

One more look!!

Really still on? Not just the underwear, but the pants as well. Except for the T-shirt on my upper body being gone, my lower half is completely intact.

What the hell?

While he was still trying to figure things out, Xu Qingqiu, watching his repeated movements, would have understood even if she were a fool.

"Pah! Pervert..."

She scoffed softly, her face turning completely red. It was so obvious; how could she not guess what Chu Tian was thinking?

At this moment, Chu Tian also realized what was happening. Seeing Xu Qingqiu's flushed face, he felt a bit awkward and asked with a sheepish grin, "Heh-heh, you didn't sleep here last night, did you?"

"No... I slept next door last night. This is the film crew's lodging; you know that."

Xu Qingqiu explained, handing him a bottle of mineral water she'd just twisted open. She rolled her eyes at him. Chu Tian took a sip, his mind finally clearing, and said with a laugh, "Right. I was thinking Cao isn't that indiscreet."

He said that, but only he knew the regret in his heart. Immediately, though, he caught the loophole in Xu Qingqiu's words and curiously looked up to ask, "So, you're saying, if this weren't the film crew's lodging, then it would have been okay?"

How could Xu Qingqiu handle this? Although her heart fluttered with a mix of anticipation and apprehension, could such things really be said out loud?

"Shameless pervert, go to hell!"

Unsurprisingly, a pillow came flying at him, snatched from right under where he was propping himself up.

Still holding the bottle of mineral water, Chu Tian was knocked onto the bed by the pillow, and the water spilled all over him.

So much for that. He hadn't even finished his teasing, and now he had to go wash up.

"Heh-heh, I'll go freshen up. Wait for me here."

Although nothing happened last night, he felt like he'd floored the accelerator on their progress. The future was full of promise, full of promise!

Whistling a happy tune, he went off to shower, his mind filled with delightful images.

Xu Qingqiu, left standing outside the bathroom, was too flustered to sit down but didn't want to leave either.

Fortunately, Chu Tian didn't bring up those topics again. After all, some things couldn't be rushed; being too hasty could easily lead to problems.

When he found Cao Zheng, Cao Zheng was still in his room, reviewing yesterday's footage, checking for omissions and errors.

The film crew had finished packing up today, and people were already leaving one after another.

The rest of the crew would disperse once the director confirmed there were no further issues.

Their hotel rooms were extended for two more days, giving everyone enough time to arrange their travel.

Of course, a part of the crew was directly employed by the company. These individuals, including those few actors, would naturally return to the company with the director.

Having attended the wrap-up banquet and relayed all necessary information, Chu Tian didn't stay any longer and left with Xu Qingqiu.

After all, Xu Qingqiu still had many work commitments. Resting for even a single day was a luxury. Any longer, and not only would Sister Hua become anxious, but Xu Qingqiu herself would also feel uneasy.

That's just how it is for celebrities. As long as they have work, their schedules are packed to the brim; they wish they didn't have a single moment of downtime all day.

Chu Tian himself hadn't been idle these past few days either. He dived right back into work as soon as he returned.

With him sharing the load, Hou Yichuan indeed felt considerably relieved.

"Hey, Boss Chu, up for some fun tonight?"

Seeing Hou Yichuan barge in saying this, Chu Tian, who was swamped with work, looked up in annoyance.

"Are you that free? Should I give you some more work?"

"No need, bro, seriously! I'm talking about something important!"

Faced with the shameless Hou Yichuan, Chu Tian was exasperated. He had no idea who Hou Yichuan had learned it from, but his skin was definitely getting thicker by the day.

He himself was younger, yet Hou Yichuan was calling *him* 'bro'. Seriously?

"So your 'important matter' is just 'having fun'? President Hou, your idea of 'important matters' is quite novel, isn't it?"
