Chapter 54：Nice To See You Again (1/2)

Qian Meigui heard a faint shuffle in her room and the feeling of someone tapping her shoulder persistently. She furrowed her brows, flicking away the hand. Then she suddenly felt the sensation of being tickled. She quickly overcame with a sudden laughing fit, ”No!” she said while trying to contain it.

Qian Meigui opened her eyes, grabbing onto the person while trying to regain her breath. Song Sheng appeared in her vision with a gentle expression; she almost instantly gasped at how handsome he looked. It was early morning, but he wore a pine-green turtleneck sweater, with black pants. His black hair was neatly combed over to one side with the strands slightly falling over, but it looked good.

One of his hands were planted on the bed next to her body as he leaned over. In the morning, his eyes reflected the amber hues from the natural glow of sunlight. This time, Qian Meigui did not glance away; she remained rooted in her place, trying not to reveal a blush.

”What are you doing?” she asked with a slight dry voice of the morning.

Seeming to notice, Song Sheng handed her a glass of water from the nightstand. Qian Meigui took it suspiciously. ”How did you know I was thirsty?”

It's true. Qian Meigui was thirsty. But for Song Sheng to pick up her habits? Qian Meigui pouted, looking away while drinking down the water.

Knowing him for years, she did not care that her hair was unkempt or that she did not wear any makeup. She naturally wore her oversized shirt and small shorts to bed. In front of him, she could always be herself.

”What's wrong?” she attempted to ask him why he invaded her room, despite it being the guest room of his apartment.

”I have a shoot today so that I will be coming home late again.”

Qian Meigui was surprised that he reported to her, ”What kind of shoot?”

Song Sheng looked at her, ”modelling,” he said.

”Oh,” she began, ”that makes sense.”

”What makes sense?” he questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Qian Meigui's eyes widened, ”Nothing. Forget I said anything.” She masked her face with a composed expression.

”Mhm, okay,” he paused. ”There's one more thing,” he blurted out. Qian Meigui turned to face him curiously.

”Song Ren is returning soon, and I've done a lot of thinking.”

Qian Meigui leaned toward him, her ears peering at what he had to say next.

Song Sheng then leaned in closer to her as , ”I need you to think Xiao Mei, who does Song Ren trust most in this world?”

Qian Meigui's eyes widened, suspecting, not able to comprehend or accept the answer she's known all along. She faced him, knowing.

Song Sheng nodded. Qian Meigui looked at him. ”Impossible,” she blew out an exasperated breath, ”But how?” she asked, ”why?”

”We'll figure it out,” he began, ”as well as their motives.”
