Lum Ming looked at the Spicy Hot Pot that had somehow ended up in his hands, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. Last night’s Spicy Hot Pot—what strange information was this? Wait a minute… So, what did Brother Ye do last night? Did he go out alone in the middle of the night to eat his least favorite Spicy Hot Pot because of the change in weather?
After reaching this conclusion, he incredulously slapped his own face. Yes, he thought he might still be half-asleep. That was it—he hadn’t fully woken up yet, which was why these bizarre thoughts were crossing his mind. He needed to sleep a little longer.
The sound of the room card scanning was the clearest noise at that moment. It was still early, and there was no one else in the corridor on this floor. He opened the door, and the faint scent of the hotel’s unique cleaning solution rushed toward him, instantly releasing the fatigue that had been hiding within him. Suddenly, he didn’t want to do anything but collapse onto the bed.
He fell onto the bed, pulled the covers over his head, and closed his eyes. In the white enclosed space, all he could hear was static.
Was it too quiet? Even his sense of smell seemed unusually sensitive. Stronger than the scent of cleaning solution was the lingering spiciness from last night’s Spicy Hot Pot. He suddenly found it absurdly funny—here he was, someone who never liked spicy food, now enveloped in its pungent aroma. The smell was so overwhelming that it uncontrollably brought back vivid images from last night. He tried to adjust his breathing to ignore it but quickly realized that was impossible. Reluctantly, he surrendered and decided to take a shower.
After using body wash several times to finally rid himself of that abrupt scent, he could finally sleep without any hindrance.
“Up so early?” Xu Yan entered the dining room and immediately spotted Tongtong sitting by the window. It was clear she had been there for a while; half of her meal was already gone.
“Uh-huh, I have something important to do today, so I need to be proactive,” she replied, her little eyes betraying a hint of mystery.
“What important thing could warrant that outfit?” Xu Yan’s curiosity was piqued by Tongtong’s deliberately mysterious demeanor. He stared at her with a fork in hand; her outfit made her look like some paparazzi, especially with the expensive camera she had bought last time sitting beside her.
“Is there something you’re not telling us?” He pointed his fork at her. To be honest, Tongtong was the only girl among them and quite young; he felt a bit uneasy.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Xu Yan Brother? I’m going to pursue my love!” She said this while making a heart shape with her hands, her eyes sparkling with affection.
“What? Love? When did you start dating? How come none of us knew?” His excitement made him stand up from his seat, his voice loud enough to draw glances from the servers at the nearby buffet.
Tongtong felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly pulled Xu Yan down to sit. "What kind of thinking is that? Just because someone you love has to be your boyfriend? The one I want to pursue is my idol. Idol, do you understand?"
"Idol? Isn't your idol Brother Ye? Who else could it be?"
"Brother Ye is someone I admire as a man, but I also have my own female idol, a graceful and enchanting fairy sister."
"Hmm? Who is it?" Curiosity sparked instantly.
"Well~ you must have heard of her. Our goddess, He Shuning. He Shuning, you must have heard of her, right? She has played so many classic roles." At that moment, Tongtong had a thousand words she wanted to share with Xu Yan and eagerly awaited his affirmative response.
Xu Yan seemed to genuinely ponder for a moment before giving a rather average reply, "Hmm, I've heard her name; it seems she has a good reputation." Seeing the girl across from him with an expectant look, still waiting for more, he really didn't know what else to say.
"But, you know, I usually don't watch dramas, so I only know her name but not what she looks like."
The girl across from him quickly began searching for beautiful photos of her idol on her phone.
Soon enough, Xu Yan saw a magnified promotional photo held up in front of him.
This was likely from an event—a close-up shot of the upper body. The person in the picture had shoulder-length, slightly curled black-brown hair with minimal adornments; only a fresh white tea flower decorated her ear. She wore a pure white gown, and perhaps due to the lighting, her eyes sparkled exceptionally bright, just as the books described—filled with the beauty of stars and the sea. The minimalist style was striking yet conveyed an air of cool elegance.
It was indeed eye-catching.
"How about it? Beautiful, right? Our sister—no one can resist her." Her tone was filled with utmost pride.
Xu Yan looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but laugh and nod repeatedly.
"So, you're going to chase a star today? Where are you going to chase them?" The little girl was really excited.
"According to reliable sources, my sister's flight to Lin City is today. We can make it in time to send her off!"
