Shen Zhiyan felt it was necessary to teach Jiang Tao that there are certain things boyfriends and girlfriends shouldn't casually say to each other—some things could easily cause trouble.
However, before he could say anything, a shocked voice suddenly came from nearby: "What... what are you two doing?!"
They both turned towards the source of the voice.
Feng Xuan immediately backed down, silently retreating back into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window.
But the atmosphere had already been broken, and the two couldn't continue being affectionate.
Jiang Tao reluctantly waved her hand. "Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye." Shen Zhiyan looked at her, wishing he could shrink her down like a small figurine and carry her home in his pocket, but he held back. "See you tomorrow."
Only then did Jiang Tao remember—they were scheduled to shoot the costume fitting photos for Mountain Ghost tomorrow.
She immediately brightened up. "Great! See you tomorrow."
Shen Zhiyan watched her disappear into the door before sighing softly and heading back to his car.
As Jiang Tao took off her shoes, Feng Xuan stood by, watching her with a gloomy expression.
Her rosy cheeks, slightly swollen lips, and eyes that seemed to have been washed with water—all these details were telling.
Even someone like Feng Xuan, a single bird, could tell what had happened.
"The Immortal Lord is really a beast!!" he thought, feeling a pang of jealousy.
After spending time together, Feng Xuan had slowly come to see Jiang Tao as a younger sister. But before he could even fully enjoy his role as the protective older brother, it seemed his "little sister" was already being stolen away by the Immortal Lord.
Jiang Tao, having changed her shoes, greeted Feng Xuan before happily hopping back to her room.
Feng Xuan's heart grew even more bitter.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Absent-mindedly, he answered the call. The person on the other end asked, "President Feng, should we continue investing in the research on edible cosmetics?"
Feng Xuan: "!"
He had almost forgotten about that!
"No need!" Feng Xuan replied angrily.
After all, wouldn't the results of the research just benefit Shen Zhiyan?!
Jiang Tao returned to her room, threw herself onto the bed, and rolled around a couple of times.
She picked up her phone, opened the WeChat chat with Shen Zhiyan, typed something, but then put the phone down again. She repeated this several times.
After what seemed like a long while, a message suddenly popped up in the chat window.
Shen Zhiyan: [I've arrived home. See you tomorrow. Goodnight.]
Jiang Tao's lips curled up into a smile.
After some back-and-forth editing in the chat, she finally sent a [Gluttonous Beast Kiss.jpg].
Shen Zhiyan looked at the picture of the little gluttonous beast, which had taken a giant bite out of someone's face, and couldn't help but laugh again.
After sending the message, Jiang Tao tossed her phone onto the bed and leaned on the balcony to look at the moon.
Back when she was on Canglan Mountain, the "Food Stash" often took her to watch the moon. They didn't speak, just quietly gazed at it.
