“She’s not going to escape, because she’s well aware that there’s no escape for her now that Xihou Jiaping is no longer around to shield and protect her.”
“Alright.”

The production unit began filming along a certain street in G City in the evening. Hence, there were many pedestrians and passersby who crowded around the set to watch the filming take place.
Amongst the crowd were many of Yan Ge’s fans.
Some of those fans were locals while others had come all the way from different cities just to catch a glimpse of their idols.
Fang Erlan had already prepared herself for the scene. There were bodyguards around to stop the fans from disrupting the filming process, thus allowing it to proceed smoothly. However, things began to take a turn when filming was about to end.
When filming ended, the fans gathered together and began swarming toward their idol.
Even the bodyguards could not stop them.
Fang Erlan was getting ready to go inside too. However, she felt a sudden breeze beside her that caused her to shiver. She cocked her head toward the side to see that Xiao Chenyang was holding an egg in his hand, which had just been thrown in her direction.
She watched in astonishment while Xiao Chenyang flung the egg back at the perpetrator and hit bull’s eye!
The egg landed on a woman’s forehead with a thud and immediately shattered. The egg yolk dripped down her face and covered her nose and eyes.
However, the scene barely caught any attention.
Everything seemed to happen within just a few seconds. Xiao Chenyang placed an arm around Fang Erlan’s shoulder and escorted her through the crowd.
The army of fans were kept within control.
Fang Erlan entered the resting room, still yet to recover from the shock. Recalling the incident that just took place, she thought to herself, If Xiao Chenyang hadn’t grabbed the egg in time, it would have definitely hit my face. How awkward would that have been?
It will have definitely been reported in the news, wouldn’t it?
Since there was a scene to be filmed in the rain at night, the production unit decided to resume filming in the wee hours of the night, when humans would be scarce.
Hence, they had to wait for a few more hours.
“Shall I take you out for a spin?” Xiao Chenyang suggested upon noticing how moody she seemed.
“What if the paparazzi catches us...”
“They won’t.” Xiao Chenyang then brought her to the rooftop.
“Is this the place?” asked Fang Erlan, who thought that that was the place that he had planned to take her. However, her guess was wrong.
Xiao Chenyang handed her a surgical mask and said, “Hug me.”
Seemingly having understood something, Fang Erlan wrapped her arms around Xiao Chenyang. When he lifted the both of them up into the sky, she closed her eyes out of fear, despite having already experienced it before. She only opened them after getting a grip on her emotions.
She looked down to see the beautiful skyline of the brightly-lit city.
She smiled and said, “It’s breathtaking.”
They landed on a bare land nearby.
There were street-food stalls along the stretch.
It was extremely crowded and lively along the food streets at night.
Afraid that he would lose her in the crowd, he held onto her hand tightly while walking through the streets. They proceeded to buy lots of snacks from the street stalls.
“Don’t buy any more food, I can’t finish them.”
He then brought her to the rooftop of a certain building.
They sat beside each other while the gentle breeze caressed their faces.
She enjoyed the scenery while indulging in the delicious treats, the perfect remedy for her moodiness.
“Do you want some?” asked Fang Erlan, who then placed a barbecue skewer near his mouth. He lowered his head to take a bite and found that it was rather tasty.
“Xiao Chenyang, what do you think about all day?”
“Do you want to know?”
“Yes.”
“Does it actually matter to you? Don’t you always just do whatever you want? Since you fancy him so much, just continue dating him while you can. You two won’t get married anyway.”
Fang Erlan looked at him and asked, “How do you know that I won’t marry him?”
Xiao Chenyang grabbed her hand tightly and answered, “Because I won’t allow it. I’m not at all afraid that your feelings for him will grow stronger as your relationship progresses.”
“Why not?”
“Because you merely fancy him. It can’t be called love at all.”
“How are you so sure?”
“Would you like me to verify it for you?” asked Xiao Chenyang, who inched closer toward her and blew some air onto her neck, causing her to cringe.
“How are you going to verify it?”
“Do you want to get intimate with him?”
“You’re so lewd.”
“When you truly love someone, you’d definitely want to get intimate with them, regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman. I can’t tell that you actually want to get intimate with him. On the other hand, I wish I could make love with you every waking moment of my life.”
Fang Erlan blushed shyly and asked, “Does that mean that you truly love me?”
“I’ve never denied the fact that I love you. If I don’t, why would I put myself through so much misery for your sake? Or do my actions not speak enough for themselves?”
Dumbfounded, Fang Erlan said, “I’ve always been wanting to ask you this. We’ve never met each other before in the past and I didn’t know you at all. How did you fall in love with me? Did you really not get the wrong person?”
“We met a long, long time ago. You just forgot about it.”
Fang Erlan tried to recall everything that had happened.
A long, long time ago?
She could not remember ever seeing him before.
“When was that? I really can’t remember. I don’t recall it at all.”
Seeing how perplexed she was, Xiao Chenyang smiled and said, “It’s alright if you don’t remember. What matters is that I do.”
Fang Erlan began to feel a little guilty upon hearing his answer. If we had really met each other before, why don’t I remember anything? Or did I lose a part of my memory?
Like what always happens in television dramas.
Fang Erlan quickly asked, “Did we only meet each other? Or were there further interactions?”
“Hmm...” He let go of her hand and placed his arms behind him. “You really want to know?”
“Duh.”
“I’m not telling you.”
Extremely displeased, Fang Erlan finished her food, wiped her hands, and smacked him. “Why are you acting like this? I’m starting to wonder if I had really lost a part of my memory. If I didn’t, why can’t I remember a thing about you at all?”
Xiao Chenyang smiled without answering her.
“Tell me, I’m getting so impatient!”
“I like seeing you being impatient.”
“...”
Fang Erlan turned around and ignored him.
He hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder before saying, “One day, you’ll find out everything. You’ll also realize who the person who truly loves you is.”
Fang Erlan was filled with a mix of emotions. The more he acted that way, the more it proved that he was keeping secrets from her.

An Xiaoning received a shocking piece of news as soon as she woke up the next morning.
Yu Yiwei had passed away.
After breakfast, An Xiaoning brought No. 5 and No. 8 to the Autumn Palace.
Shi Qingzhou had gotten chubbier and appeared much more radiant.
She was as happy as a lark to see An Xiaoning. “Xiaoning.”
“Mother, I came to B City to attend to something and I decided to come visit you and Father at the same time. Where’s Father?”
“He’s presently busy. Well... would you like to go see... Tuoba Rui?” Shi Qingzhou asked hesitantly.
