Although there was bleeding, it was only a small cut that would heal if the procedure had been done slowly. Wen Feiran's expression remained serious, but her movements were gentle and thorough, without any perfunctory attitude. She carefully disinfected the wound before applying a band-aid.
During this time, Yu Ningjiang's gaze never left Wen Feiran, his expression changed several times, and his mood was very complicated.
He had intended to put on an act with Wen Feiran, but he hadn't expected him to be so incompetent, unable to even wash a dish. He also hadn't expected Wen Feiran to not utter a single word of blame, but instead to busily tend to his wounds.
Wen Feiran lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows. Her expression was calm, and her skin was as clear and lustrous as jade under the light. Even up close, you couldn't see her pores, and there was no oiliness on her nose from staying up all night.
"..."
He's a bit of a hater of Wen Feiran, with a biased view of her, but he has to admit that Wen Feiran is indeed very good-looking.
The thought had barely crossed their minds when they suddenly heard the door open beside them. The two turned around at the same time and saw Gu Suian walking out, dressed neatly, as if he had never rested.
Wen Feiran stood up instinctively, looking at him in surprise, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm awake now, I'll take over for you."
Seeing Gu Suian's resolute attitude, Wen Feiran didn't bother to discuss it with him and walked over with a furrowed brow.
"I don't need you to take my place, go and get some rest."
I'm worried you're too tired.
Yu Ningjiang stared blankly at the scene, and had to admit that the two of them looked very good together, a perfect match.
There seemed to be a barrier between them, automatically isolating him; the styles of the two sides were even different.
"..."
Yu Ningjiang suddenly remembered a comment from a friend in the group chat. "Why make things difficult for Wen Feiran?" In the end, Gu Suian felt sorry for him and gently coaxed him.
However, he was emotionally charged at the time, and the atmosphere in the group was extremely enthusiastic. He impulsively kicked the dissenting member out, but now that he thinks about it, what he said makes a lot of sense.
Yu Ningjiang remained silent for a moment, his attention focused on Wen Feiran and Gu Suian.
As a new fan, he hurriedly did his homework, digging up Gu Suian's works and interview clips.
Gu Suian was extremely shrewd and never showed his emotions, but being there, only a few steps away, he could clearly sense that the way Gu Suian looked at Wen Feiran was different.
We need to operate as usual tomorrow morning. Without you, we can't manage.
"Think about Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting. If they start arguing, who will try to break them up?"
"So you're very important. Without you, Cloud Dream Inn will collapse. Listen to me, go to sleep first, and come back to relieve me tomorrow morning."
Wen Feiran hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Aren't you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy," Gu Suian offered a plausible excuse, "I'm just adjusting to the time difference."
Yu Ningjiang: "..."
He was force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), yet he showed no disgust or resistance whatsoever.
It's quite sweet.
He realized his thoughts were not right, felt guilty towards Wen Feiran, and was also exhausted from working all night, so he went over and said, "You should all go back and rest."
Wen Feiran was stunned, "But..."
Yu Ningjiang smiled. "My time difference is basically over, I need to go to sleep too."
Wen Feiran and Gu Suian exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.
The living room lights were turned off, Yu Ningjiang took out his phone as soon as he returned to his room.
After the group members learned that he was going to the scene, they stayed in the live stream room. Even without his explanation, everyone knew what had happened.
[Little Sweetie: Wen Feiran is so scheming, she actually clung to the male god and wouldn't let him sleep!]
[Big Sweetie: I'm so angry! (angry emoji)]
[Number One Wife: You really underestimated Wen Feiran. He's such a green tea b*tch. He actually tricked Ning Jiang into washing the dishes for him, causing such a commotion and waking up Gu Suian. And he's acting all innocent.]
[Little Sweetie: Why is Ning Jiang going to rest so early? Tomorrow it won't be Wen Feiran keeping watch anymore. We should seize this opportunity to force him to reveal his true colors!!]
Yu Ningjiang: "..."
Were they really watching the live stream? That's clearly not how it happened. If he hadn't been there, he would have actually believed it.
[Tonight I'll assassinate you: Actually, I've already gone too far.]
[Tonight I'll assassinate you: In the end, I was too embarrassed to even say it.]
[Tonight I'll Slay You Secretly: I didn't see any green tea side in Wen Feiran. Are you guys overthinking it?]
He simply asked a normal question, but it caused a huge stir, igniting the atmosphere in the group and causing a frenzy among the members.
[Sweetie: What's wrong with you? Why are you taking Wen Feiran's side?!]
[Big Sweetie: This is terrifying! Wen Feiran's level is so high. Yu Ningjiang was completely controlled after just one night of contact.]
[Number One Wife: Ning Jiang, don't forget who your fan is. Having someone like Wen Feiran around your idol will only hurt him.]
[Little Sweetie: Yeah, we're not against our idol dating, it's just that Wen Feiran isn't good enough for him!]
[Big Sweetie: Wen Feiran is not good enough for him!]
[My Number One Wife: Wen Feiran, get out of the entertainment industry!]
Their words grew increasingly heated, eventually turning into curses wishing Wen Feiran death.
Yu Ningjiang used to be one of them, but now that he's detached, he suddenly feels the atmosphere in the group is terrifying. His group members seem like demons and monsters, with overly extreme ideas.
Yu Ningjiang is a new fan of Gu Suian and wants to find a large group to enjoy following their idol together. However, Gu Suian's long-time fans are very laid-back and don't follow the usual fan culture practices. They don't do things like checking in or collecting data, and their fan group is usually closed and doesn't add new members.
