They were just about to go for another commercial after he received a measly four hours of sleep. Though it was somewhat of a luxury to be able to sleep for that long, it was indeed short for him.
Inside the car, he continues to look at his phone for every five minutes and Linjie knew that it must be her call or message that he's waiting for.
"You know, you can call her" she suggested after his obvious deliberation.
It never cease to amaze her to see the playful and reckless him being this cautious and it's because of a woman. Everyone knows how much scandal he achieved just for the whole year and even the country itself decided to name him a very cliche name 'Nation's Heartbreaking prince'
"Well, what should I say? I think I'm moving too fast and I don't wanna frighten her"
"Gosh, you really have changed did you?"
He can see the shock on his managers face, though it's a bit funny to see, he couldn't help but regret his actions in the past. He didn't want Feng Mian to see him as someone who doesn't know the word commitment.
He thinks that his actions would probably posed as a block to their relationship.
"I want to make her feel comfortable around me, I want to see her smile and be the reason for it and I want to be with her for the rest of my life" he saw Linjie giving him a sideway glance and he continued. "I mean it Linjie, if she wants me to end my job, I will do it in a heartbeat"
"You- ai, you have never sound this serious before. Even when you're faced with difficulties, I never saw you getting angry and serious about your problems. Remember when I first saw you, you were like a crane in a flock of chickens, your aura is too majestic but when I ask you to be an actor, do you remember what you said?"
"I do, I said that if I become famous, would every person know me, even her"
She looked at me and smiled, she never look this serious before too. She's always angry at me and she's always breathing on my neck.
She's like a JieJie, and I'm glad to be treated as her Di Di.
"Call her now!" She knocks my head and get off the car to give me some privacy.
It didn't take long for it to finish, he was deeply satisfied. He turned to Linjie and nodded at her, meaning that they can now go to the set.
He needs to finish this quickly, he wants his time to have her, just an hour would be fine but he's lying. He wants her every time, every minute and every second of his life.
...
It didn't take long for my parents to end their dancing regime and go home. Of course my brother was too reluctant to go and managed to snatch some poor girls number.
Really, he never fails to amaze me at his rogueness. I just hope that Ming Chen would avoid getting into a scandal while he's with me or else I'll chop someone's liferoot then.
I really would.
"Dad, I'm going to um...a friend's house this afternoon. Is that okay?"
Yes, even though I'm a grown ass woman, I still need my parents permission. Though it sometimes makes me feel ashamed, it's good to let them know where I'm going to. But this time, I wouldn't tell them who and where.
"Where are you going? Meeting your blind date?" My brother retorted which made me glare at him before looking back at the road.
"No I am not, besides were just friends. I don't think I'll see him as boyfriend material" I explained calmly, slightly peeking at my parents faces.
"You know you're at the age-"
"I know dad I just...I'll try okay? Maybe I'm seeing someone or maybe I'll meet a new one, who knows?" I said as I swerve around the corner and took my ID for the security guard to let us pass.
After that, I managed to calm my over protective dad and had managed to calm myself over deliberating whether I should kill my brother in a swift manner or torture him slowly.
Then I cleaned myself and dressed in a casual manner. My brother is a bit keen on this things, he would definitely know whether I'm going on a date or just going out with my friends.
"I'll be coming home at six, yes dad I'll always turn my phone on. I have my pepper spray on my bag, don't worry. See you!" I went out immediately after opening the door and drove my car towards his place.
Soon, I arrive there at exactly twenty minutes and texted him. I think he already told the person in charge in here so she just let me in with a smile. I walk towards the elevator and push the top button before calming myself.
There's just me, alone in this elevator and I'm panicking. I'm not claustrophobic, I'm just really nervous meeting him again.
It feels like it's been months since we've mey when in fact I already met him some weeks ago and just yesterday. Really, I must be a fool to be this scared of meeting him, he's not a monster, he's a rogue.
The elevator resounds a ding and I got off. I look at the corridors left and right and nodded at myself. I can't be seen by others or else I'll be in trouble.
I knocked on the door and there he was, his face fresh from any blemish, his skin flawless and smooth as he smiled at me with his pearly whites.
"H-hi"
Are you serious?! How can you stutter like that?!
"Feng-er, come in, I brought you a gift" he smiled charmingly and opened the door for me to go like a gentleman.
The house smells of hot pot, hm, it really makes my stomach rumble in hunger. Soon, I was walking towards his living room.
My nervousness is washed by my curiosity. It's not my birthday nor someone's birthday, it's not like there's a special day today.
Then he presented me with a white cancas, a highly expensive oil paint and a very luxurious branded brush.
"You- what...wha- why?" I stuttered while I grew amazed at the art supplies in front of me. Those supplies are one that I wanted to but still hasn't bought it since it's too expensive and now, it's here, in front of me.
"It's for you, I really want you to paint again. You're the most beautiful when you paint" he smiled as he guided me to seat.
I was still numb at his present that I didn't notice his phone capturing my fish like expression. I was in a trance for a while before I got over it and screeched at him.
"Do you know how much these cost!? It's really expensive and too valuable! You- you really shouldn't have..." I trailed off as he held my face on his palm.
"It's worth it if it's for you"
This...he get some points since he knew how to gift and knew how to say such flowery words.
"Fine but...I didn't brought you a gift" I muttered in disappointment.
"Well..."
"Well?" I urged him with a smile.
"You can always pay it back with a kiss"
Rogue!
After that whole fiasco, we ate and relished on the food in front of us. It just immediately warms my stomach and then my phone buzzed. I fished it out of my pocket before looking at the time, it's still 5:30 though.
Then I notice that there's a new pay on weibo. I check it out and laughed, he tear his head off of his food and nudge me before I presented my phone on his face.
There was a trending and a picture of aan with mask and a rimless golden glasses buying ingredients on the grocery store.

And many more that I didn't get to see when he hugged my waist and smirk before saying.
"So...you're spying on me?"
This shameless- whatever!
