The night at Shen Residence is warm and quiet.
Shen Shuangjian under the covers, only half her face showing, and looked down at the phone screen.
His hand hesitated on the phone's keyboard for a long time before finally sending the message in the chat box.
Shen Shuangjian: What should you do if someone ignores you?
On the other end of the phone, the person replied almost instantly.
Yu Sheng: Huh?
Yu Sheng: Shuangjian- ge, shouldn't I be the one asking this question?
Seeing Yu Sheng's reply, which was half teasing and half coquettish, Shen Shuangjian a little embarrassed. He put down his phone, curled up in the blanket, and still couldn't understand where his feelings came from.
He was exhausted by Yu Sheng's enthusiasm; he could hardly keep up with Yu Sheng's pace in conversation, and he didn't know what to say, so he rarely replied.
But now Shen Shuangjian didn't know who to ask.
He felt guilty, but he remembered that Yu Sheng had said more than once that he considered him a friend, a very good friend.
Perhaps Yu Sheng has many friends, and even someone with his personality would approach him warmly.
Yu Sheng: Hmm, then let's find a way to meet!
Yu Sheng: Try talking to the other person and making contact. If they dislike you, you can sense it yourself.
Yu Sheng: Although I don't know why Shuangjian suddenly asked that question, it really hits home and easily reminds me of myself.
Yu Sheng: Is there anyone who's ignoring you, Shuangjian- ge!
Yu Sheng: Tell him to get lost! If he ignores us, plenty of others will. Doesn't he understand that?
Yu Sheng: Huh? Why are you ignoring me again? Fine, fine, I'm a simp!
Yu Sheng: But dogs have dignity too, don't just use them and then throw them away...
Yu Sheng: Fine, I'll just be Shuangjian- ge's most loyal little lapdog.
Yu Sheng's messages were always coming in one after another, as if there was always another one waiting after he finished speaking, always full of enthusiasm, always surrounding the person opposite him.
Shen Shuangjian silently stared at the phone placed beside the bed. After a long while, he typed out a few words.
Shen Shuangjian: I'm sorry to have troubled you.
The subsequent messages only vibrated a few times before ending.
Yu Sheng's message frequency was always set between when Shen Shuangjian up and before she went to sleep.

After more than two months, the program, which had been temporarily suspended for a break, has finally begun to warm up again.
During this period, the people who gained popularity from the show were inundated with announcements and jobs, working non-stop for more than two months before finally having time to return to record the show.
After several months of live streaming, the edited version of the show went viral on video platforms and the internet. Among them, the most heartbreaking story is that of Shen Shuangjian, who became an overnight sensation but was not a real person, and the short-lived but popular Huijian, Huijian.
Grandma, the show you've been waiting for has finally started airing. Rest in peace. (wiping away tears)
[This lowly program is acting like a big shot! Do you even know how I've been these past two months?!]
[Waaaaah, I'm a new fan of this style, and it's been discontinued right after I joined! Does anyone understand my pain?]
[Same as above, a Huijian the fandom, and it ended badly the moment I joined, a complete and utterly tragic one...]
[ Huijian about to reach their peak, his wife's words brought it all to a screeching halt. These past two months of complete silence have caused quite a stir in the industry.]
[Yes, yes, many writers who create fanfiction have stopped writing and retired from the fandom. Even veteran writers are starting to reminisce and commemorate the past. It feels like the current trend of Huijian couple pairings is a grand breakup scene.]
[ Xie Jinghui, have you let go of the past?]
How can I let this go? I invested so much emotion in him for months, watching him sink deeper and deeper, only to have him give in with a simple "It's okay."
[What's even more painful is that immediately after this incident, his wife agreed to go out with Yu Sheng whenever she had the chance, which was practically trampling on his sincerity.]
[It was the initial spark of attraction, the tenderness of the second meeting, the months of sharing a bed, the countless acts of devoted care; it was always by your side when you appeared, and always looking at you when you looked at the camera.]
[It's Huijian, or it's a final goodbye.]
[ These Shengjian are really going too far lately, Xie Jinghui, why don't you try again? Even if you're a mistress, you have to get my wife back.]
[Hahahaha, you're crazy.]
[But you can't bully Xie Jinghui just because he loves Shen Shuangjian.]
[Grass...]
[I admit I'm a fan of Huijian Jing, but I really feel sorry for Xie Jinghui.]
Xie Jinghui had never made a mistake. While others used their frivolous social interactions to get close to Shen Shuangjian, he didn't. While others couldn't understand Shen Shuangjian's personality and made him uncomfortable, he didn't. His only mistake was meeting Shen Shuangjian in that thousand-acre rose garden in full bloom.
[The once-proud ruler lowered his proud head, his love humble yet conspicuous. He encountered both the most tender person and the most sharp-tongued person in the world.]
Love humiliated him and rendered him speechless.
[During the recording, this powerful man from a wealthy family took care of his wife like a butler for months, never complaining no matter how tired or difficult it was. What was he after?]
[The happiness Shen Shuangjian.]
[When his wife said it was okay, everyone was laughing at him, even some of her die-hard fans were mocking him, but he didn't say a word.]
[ Xie Jinghui, I declare that you will always be the rightful wife in my heart. Even if there is someone else in the future, I will never acknowledge him!]
[What exactly is "Huijian"? Is it a grand, unrequited love, or a heartbreak that ends without a trace?]
[ Xie Jinghui, what were you thinking when he said it was okay?]
He was thinking, how subtle must it be, how silent must he be, to continue loving you where you can't see him?
[I give up. You guys Huijian to writing angst-filled stories; they're guaranteed to be hits.]
[So be it, I'll stick with all creams anyway.]
[It doesn't matter, my harem is huge.]
[Go to hell, Shen Shuangjian your husband's fans.]
The show's first stop after its relaunch is Russia, which is about to enter the harsh winter.
Shen Shuangjian that she had not breached the contract and had paid the three million yuan penalty in exchange for the opportunity to withdraw from the show.
Shen Sixian wanted to stop her, but he didn't agree to help Shen Shuangjian withdraw from the show. He still wanted to persuade her, but after speaking, he looked at Shen Shuangjian's downcast and silent appearance and decided to stop her.
In fact, if Shen Sixian insisted on stopping him, and if he disagreed, and if he adopted a more forceful and unyielding stance, he knew Shen Shuangjian would listen.
However, Shen Sixian was afraid of upsetting him and also afraid that he would dislike his autocracy, so he was hesitant and helpless.
He will never understand why Shen Shuangjian is so fixated on three million, a sum that might not even make a splash if it fell into the water.
It's not just that he doesn't understand; if he were to ask Shen Shuangjian, Shen Shuangjian might not be able to give him a confident answer either.
Was it that his view on money considered three million to be beyond his means, or did he simply not want Shen Sixian to pay that three million for him?
But when Shen Shuangjian agreed, even he himself didn't know if he had even for a moment thought of the three million that had once weighed on his head and made it hard for him to breathe.
