"Knock, knock, knock~" a sound came from outside the door.
"It's so late, why is someone knocking?"
"Did any of you order delivery?"
"No."
"Xiao Xi, go take a look~"
Shen Yan said to Qiu Xi, who was leaning by the door.
"En." Qiu Xi nodded and walked towards the door.
"Click!"
"Xi Xi."
Outside the door, Nan Hua held a bouquet of flowers in one hand and his other hand open.
"Ah Hua?..." Qiu Xi's mouth widened, a little slow to react.
But she instinctively rushed forward, her hands clasped tightly behind her back.
After a long moment-
Qiu Xi let go, holding the flowers she had just received, smiling brightly under the dim yellow light.
"Ah Hua, why did you suddenly come back?"
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?" Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan, unaware of the situation, saw that Qiu Xi was taking too long to come back, so they put on their shoes and walked over.
However, they did not expect to see such a scene.
"Nan Hua, you... why are you here?" Shen Yan rubbed her eyes, not daring to believe it.
Shouldn't this person be far away in another country?
A few days ago, Xiao Xi was still talking about preparing to buy tickets to find him...
"Cough, cough." Nan Hua suppressed the smile on his face and looked at the two inside.
"Excuse me, Xi Xi, I'll be taking her away tonight."
"You're taking her..."
"Take her away..."
Even after the two disappeared down the corridor, Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei were still in a daze.
"Yan Yan, let's go inside first."
"Okay."
"Dai Yao, do you know!"
"Just now at the door, I saw what happened..." As soon as Shen Yan entered, she grabbed Song Daiyao, ready to gossip.
"I know, it's Nan Hua."
Unexpectedly, Song Daiyao seemed to know more than she did.
Shen Yan froze, "You know?"
"Yes." Still unaware of the details.
Then Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei exchanged a look, and both leaned closer together.
"Make a move!"
"Ah!"
"Hahahaha~"
"You... you two, let go quickly..."
"I, I'll tell you!"
"Cough, cough!" The two stopped after a moment of playfulness, "Speak, what's going on."
Song Daiyao sat up and took out her phone, "Actually, Zhao Huasheng contacted me. He said Nan Hua was planning to return and asked me to help him with a favor."
"Then today happened, and you all know the rest..."
"......"
"I knew it!"
"Why did you insist on suggesting we go out and play today a few days ago!"
"And you were acting strange all day today, staying out overnight but still coming back to play games with Zhao Huasheng. It turns out it was all premeditated!"
"Song Daiyao, oh Song Daiyao!"
"You didn't tell us before something this big happened."
"Exactly!" Shen Yan agreed with Liang Yunfei, glaring at Song Daiyao together.
It was one thing not to tell Xiao Xi, but how could she keep it a secret from them two!
"Well... isn't it better if fewer people know about this..." Song Daiyao was trying her best to "argue."
"Look, if the three of us acted together, Xiao Xi is so smart, she would definitely see through it immediately!"
"If it were just me, although I felt a bit more pressure, the loopholes would have been smaller..."
As she said this, Song Daiyao even became confident.
The two of them, "......"
"Dai Yao, you don't actually think your acting skills are very good, do you?" Liang Yunfei glanced at Song Daiyao calmly.
"Aren't they?" Song Daiyao raised her head confidently.
Shen Yan, "......"
She could see through it, but she didn't know what her sister was thinking.
"Well... Dai Yao..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Song Daiyao looked at Shen Yan.
"Do you think there's a possibility that your acting skills aren't that great either?" Shen Yan tried to be tactful and continued to explain.
Song Daiyao slapped the bed, "How is that possible!"
"Xiao Fei Fei, tell me, how was my performance today?" Song Daiyao looked at Liang Yunfei beside her.
"......"
"Not good at all! A complete mess!"
"How is that possible!!!" She felt her acting was at the amateur Oscar level.
"Dai Yao, let me tell you..."
Shen Yan, without giving Song Daiyao any face, explained everything from beginning to end.
"......"
This left Song Daiyao speechless.
"......If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have told you all from the beginning. It made me work so hard to pretend..."
Liang Yunfei lightly remarked, "Who can you blame!"
"......" Song Daiyao lowered her head dejectedly, "It's my fault..."
"It's good that you know."
"Although in this regard, the three of us are equally bad, but three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. If Dai Yao had told us earlier, it probably wouldn't have been so... clumsy."
Shen Yan then seriously analyzed it with Song Daiyao.
"......" Song Daiyao was so lectured that she didn't want to speak anymore.
"I understand, I'll definitely change next time."
"En!"
"A promising student indeed~" Shen Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Liang Yunfei watched the two of them go back and forth, as if they were playing some new game.
After watching for a couple of glances, she shook her head helplessly.
Remembering that Xiao Xi probably wouldn't be back tonight, she took out her phone and sent Qi a message, roughly explaining the situation.
......
Meanwhile, Qiu Xi, who had been pulled out by Nan Hua, held the bouquet of roses and obediently followed him out of the hotel.
"Ah Hua, where are we going?" Qiu Xi looked at the person who had suddenly appeared beside her, still a bit dazed.
Nan Hua held Qiu Xi's hand and said softly, "Nowhere specific, I just wanted to take you for a walk."
"En......" Qiu Xi nodded.
"You still haven't told me, why did you suddenly come back, and didn't even let me know!"
"Do you know how much I..."
"Mhm~" Nan Hua exclaimed dotingly, tightening his grip on her small hand, "I know, you took leave, you bought tickets... I know all of that!"
"That's why I came back!"
