The next morning, Pan Linxi regretted it, especially regretted giving up the chance to sleep together.

She did not deny that she had selfish intentions in keeping Zhong Nihong last night, but in the end, facing the unexpected invitation from the drunk Zhong Nihong, she flinched.

As usual, Pan Linxi got up at 07:30, after washing and tidying up quickly, before going to work, she knocked on the door of her room, but she didn't hear a response, so she couldn't be relieved, she turned the door and walked in.

On the bed, Zhong Nihong's long hair spread out.

After knowing each other for so long, it was the first time that Pan Linxi saw Zhong Nihong sleeping on the bed.

Although she is a hangover woman now, she is far more beautiful than ordinary women.

Zhong Nihong's face has no blind spots, no matter from which angle, whether she is standing or lying down, her appearance is always impeccable.

"Pan—" Zhong Nihong closed her eyes, her voice was dry, she frowned, and swallowed lightly, "Why didn't you say anything when you came in?"

"I'm afraid I'll wake you up." Pan Linxi was condescending, with a guilty conscience.

Just now, she has been peeking at the Sleeping Beauty on the bed.

"Hiss—my head hurts so much," Zhong Nihong stroked his forehead with his right hand, "Can you pour me a glass of warm water?"

"Yes." Pan Linxi turned around and left the room.

Soon, she turned back.

Zhong Nihong had already sat up, but he looked as if he hadn't woken up, his shoulders drooped weakly, his whole body looked limp, and his complexion was not very good.

"You wake up so early?" She took the water glass Pan Linxi handed over, and looked at her with a smile, "The shirt is very charming."

"It's time for me to go to work. You can sleep a little longer and close the doors when you leave."

Pan Linxi said quickly, if she didn't leave, she would be late for work.

Zhong Nihong drank warm water, and her throat felt much more comfortable. She smoothed her long hair from the top of her head back, and then looked at Pan Linxi, "This is your room?"

"..." Pan Linxi recalled the scene last night.

Zhong Nihong accepted her acquiescence, the decoration of this room was in line with her personality.

"It's so plain, except for the furniture, it's all white, white bed, white desk lamp, white chair, white blinds, white curtains..." She looked around the room, counting the white objects she saw. "Pan, do you like white very much?"

"I'm going to work." Pan Linxi didn't have time to linger.

"Tell me, why did you let me sleep in your room? Also, after I fell asleep, did you treat me, um—something like that?"

Pan Linxi laughed angrily, she really didn't expect to be beaten up.

The best heroine is that she can act, seeing what she says is true.

What did she think she would do to her?

"It's you who want to sleep in my room, okay?"

"Really?" Zhong Nihong opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

"Isn't it?"

"Why, look at your expression, don't you want me to sleep in your room?"

"The crux of the problem is not this, but, you forgot that you insisted on sleeping in my room!"

"why?"

Seeing that she has forgotten everything, will she really forget what she said when she was drunk?

Pan Linxi expressed doubts.

But Zhong Nihong's current appearance is exactly the same as the one she didn't say last night, "I want to sleep in your room, other bed, Miss Ben doesn't sleep".

Moreover, Pan Linxi obviously didn't tell her which room she was in, but she was able to find it accurately when she was drunk.

Seeing her like this, she must have forgotten about asking her to sleep with her last night.

"Of course you are willful—" Pan Linxi suppressed the rising anger, "Insist on sleeping in my room."

"Ah!" Zhong Nihong raised his voice slightly, nodded and smiled, "Such a rude request is indeed my style. I'm sorry, Pan, did you not sleep well when you changed the bed? Dark circles appeared under your eyes."

"I'm off to work." Pan Linxi said and was about to leave.

"Hiss—" Zhong Nihong stroked his temple with his left hand, "My head hurts so much! I didn't sleep well either."

"The aftermath of a hangover."

"You don't drink, how do you even know this?"

Pan Linxi didn't want to mess with her anymore, so she turned around and left.

"Pan, can I take half a day off? I have a terrible headache and I don't want to be alone."

"Miss, can't you continue to sleep?"

"No, you woke me up and I couldn't sleep."

Pan Linxi thought to herself that work is not too busy recently, and it's okay to ask for half a day off, so she agreed.

"It's so kind of you!"

Seeing that Pan Linxi called to ask for leave, Zhong Nihong smiled like a kid who got away with not going to school.

"Compared to my main job, now, you are my big boss, aren't you?"

"Really? In this case, you will listen to me in the future."

"I'm going to cook some porridge."

Just like when she asked her to sleep with her last night, Pan Linxi ran away again.

The atmosphere in the room became more and more ambiguous, and she couldn't help but suspect that all of this was a plot carefully woven by Zhong Nihong, a natural actor.

In the afternoon, Zhong Nihong sent Pan Linxi to the TV station.

Before parting, she said, "I wish I could fast forward to October [-]th."

Pan Linxi knew that she was referring to the matter of arguing for evidence, she said, "As you said, we can't, there is no transition stage. It is better to have a transition in everything."

"Pan, see you tonight."

"See you."

They made an appointment to buy fish at night.

Before, there were two clownfish in Pan Linxi's fish tank.

This morning, while waiting at home for the food to be delivered by the deliveryman, Zhong Nihong found that there was only one lone fish left in the fish tank.

"Which one looks better?" she asked.

"He died a few days ago." Pan Linxi was still a little sad when he thought about it.

These two clownfish were raised by her grandmother, and she told her to take good care of them when she went to America.

"Well, let's go buy one tonight." Zhong Nihong said.

Pan Linxi didn't know before that it cost so much to raise sea fish, until she took over the task of taking care of these two little guys from her grandmother. Not only that, but raising fish also required patience.

Fortunately, she basically didn't socialize, so she persisted.

These two clownfish have been in this house for four or five years, and Pan Linxi has also taken care of them for more than a year.

The dead clownfish, she buried it under the lemon tree in the yard.

Zhong Nihong was far more careful than she had imagined. Not only did she find that the clownfish were missing, but she also knew which one was missing.

"I'm not going to raise any more," she said.

"Don't you think it's lonely to have only one fish in a fishbowl?"

How could it be possible not to know?

Pan Linxi looked into Zhong Nihong's eyes, "It's lonely, but I want to wait until this one-"

"What if it lives for years? Fish need company, too, Pan."

Zhong Nihong spoke with certainty.

Pan Linxi didn't know, but she thought, if she could save the money for raising fish, she might go to the United States to visit her grandma when she was free.

"You probably don't know, do you? Raising fish takes a lot of energy and costs a lot of money."

Energy is second to Pan Linxi, that is, she is really poor now.

"Well, you will take care of it in the future, and I will take care of the expenses. Let's go buy another one at night."

Zhong Nihong's tone was irrefutable.

……

Pan Linxi was somewhat resistant to going to the company.

After watching Zhong Nihong's car leave, she slowly turned and walked towards the stage.

At noon in the hot summer, there are scattered people on the street, and the scorching heat makes everyone reduce unnecessary going out at noon as much as possible.

After she and Zhong Nihong were on the trending search last Friday night, their affairs also spread on the TV station.

Gossip about her suddenly increased.

In the company, wherever she went, there were whispers behind her back.

It feels awful.

She has experienced similar things several times.

During her sophomore, senior year, and senior year, every time she became the focus and was criticized, it made her thorn in her back.

So, when Zhong Nihong asked her to ask for leave in the morning, she didn't feel embarrassed at first, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it was impossible for her to avoid her colleagues all the time just because she had a hot search with Zhong Nihong.

After all, everyone will talk more about her in the future.

Before entering the company, she thought, just treat it as a prelude to marriage, and she has to get used to it. After all, a year of being together is not short.
