Gu Ren raised his voice, knocking on the door with a cold voice that resounded through the corridor, “Ye Zhi, are you there?”

After waiting outside the door for a while, no one answered. Gu Ren’s hand moved down as he placed it on the handle, turning it slightly to open the door.

There was still sound coming from the room. Gu Ren closed the door before he turned to look at the TV, and his footsteps paused.

On TV, Gu Ren was wearing a hospital gown and walking into the hospital.

Gu Ren remembered that he starred in this movie a few years ago as he joined the crew for half a year. The memory of the filming crew was still clear in his mind.

Gu Ren raised his eyebrows. Was Ye Zhi watching his movie just now?

He looked around Ye Zhi’s room, but she was nowhere to be found. The TV was still on and there were scripts on the table, but what about Ye Zhi?

Gu Ren’s gaze strayed to the other side, towards the bathroom. The door was open and there was light coming from inside, so he figured that Ye Zhi might be in there.

Gu Ren walked to the sofa as he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. There was no sound of water coming from the bathroom, but there was a faint voice.

At this time, if Ye Zhi wasn’t in the bath, what was she doing in there then?

With a mind full of doubts, Gu Ren walked to the bathroom. The closer he got, the more distinct the voice got.

Only Ye Zhi’s voice resonated and she seemed to be muttering something to herself.

Gu Ren walked to the bathroom door and saw Ye Zhi’s back turned against him, looking at herself in the mirror. He moved slightly and leaned on the door lightly.

At this moment, Ye Zhi, who was standing in front of the mirror, had no idea that someone was outside. She wasn’t aware that she was about to be spied on during her rehearsal either.

Ye Zhi’s voice was soft and clear, and in the silence, she once again pronounced his name dearly.

“Gu Ren…”

Ye Zhi hadn’t finished speaking when a very familiar cold voice suddenly sounded from behind her and hummed in a very light tone, “Mhmm?”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire room froze.

Ye Zhi’s body stiffened. She only tilted her head slightly as her gaze met the person’s pair of calm eyes that were reflected in the mirror.

Profound with clear facial features, a calm and a moonlike temperament, paired with innate elegance and nobleness in every movement.

It was Gu Ren.

Ye Zhi pursed her lips, her heart suddenly burst with a strong desire to escape.

Her face turned pale as she could only control her body with much difficulty. She turned around slowly, and then she saw Gu Ren leaning on the door.

When did he come?

Ye Zhi’s brain went blank. Under the faint light, the corners of her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were stained with a lighter shade, making the blush on her cheeks more evident.

But she no longer cared for that much.

In the minute-long stare, no one spoke until the air gradually began to flow again.

Ye Zhi just froze in place, motionless; it was Gu Ren who made the move first.

His gaze slowly lowered and he glanced at the gift box in her hands.

Gu Ren looked down and thought for a few seconds, not knowing whether it was a suspicion, a guess, or a clear understanding.

Immediately, Gu Ren raised his head again and his gaze fell on Ye Zhi’s face. His eyes darkened with unclear emotions.

Ye Zhi’s scalp was numb, her body felt tight and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground— she couldn’t go anywhere.

Gu Ren suddenly started walking forward. Slender like a cedar tree and cool like a moonlight hue, his tall figure approached her.

Gu Ren’s eyes stared at Ye Zhi for a moment as he walked towards her step by step. Ye Zhi took a step back, only to feel the cold touch of the sink behind her.

The eyes of the two people crossed in the air as if there was only the sound of silence reverberating outside.

Gu Ren’s eyes flickered and his voice was low, like a cold breeze touched with the warmth of sunlight in early winter, “What do you want to say to me?”

Ye Zhi was stunned. She didn’t know how to answer him.

Gu Ren’s gaze made her unable to hide, so Ye Zhi still tried to find a trace of her sense of reason, “Why are you here?”

Gu Ren curved his lips and smiled silently, “I’m just here to remind you that it’s time for dinner.”

Ye Zhi looked away, “Then let’s go have dinner.”

But before Ye Zhi could leave, Gu Ren grabbed her arm. His force was not strong, but it was enough to control her.

Gu Ren bent his body slightly. His eyes were like silent snow and his thin lips opened slightly, “Were you watching my movie?”

Ye Zhi couldn’t deny it, so she could only nod her head.
