The actor made this remark because he thought Natalia was acting too strangely today. Gong Fan was obviously fine when they saw him in the kitchen, but why did he faint soon after she had walked in?
What was more startling, was that he had inadvertently caught a glimpse of an indescribable coldness in Nataliaâs expression as she looked at Gong Fan. It gave him a sudden sense of unfamiliarity.
Gong Jie felt helpless, however. He had already overstayed and if he continued to delay returning to the Hurricane Group, it would probably be in chaos.
Hua Jin saw his hesitation and immediately said, âActually⦠itâs fine if you donât stay. Iâll try my best to deal with it.â
âIâll send someone to look after her. If anything unusual happens, just let me know.â
!!
The actor nodded. âYes, alright.â
â¦
Yun Shishi accompanied Gong Fan so that he would go to sleep. As she hummed softly, the boy gradually allowed his exhaustion to take over and finally fell asleep in her arms.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep, she considered getting up, but was worried that if the boy should wake and find her missing, heâd be sad and disappointed, so she simply slept next to him.
At some point, she was woken up by a movement beside her. She opened her eyes subconsciously and saw that the little one was already awake.
She was about to call out âGong Fanâ, when she saw him rubbing his eyes and opening them. His stunned gaze made her realize that it was not Gong Fan who had woken up, but Youyou.
âAre you awake, Youyou?â She patted his cheek gently.
The boy opened his eyes and looked dazed for a moment, because when he had gone to sleep the night before, it had been in his own home.
Now he had woken up in a strange room. He was smart enough to realize that he had been asleep âfor a whileâ, and the person who had woken up earlier would have been Gong Fan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhere am I?â Youyouâs voice was hoarse from just waking up.
âAt Nataliaâs house.â
âEh? How many days has it been since I fell asleep?â
âToday is the day you were going to make a series of desserts for Natalia. Have you forgotten? However, it was Gong Fan who woke up this morning. Itâs understandable that you donât have any impression of it.â
âAhhhhhhâ¦â The boy tapped his head. âWhat time is it?â
âItâs past noon! Iâve already spoken with her for you to be âexcusedâ.â
âWhy?â The boy paused, then caught himself. âOh, I forgot. Gong Fan doesnât know how to make desserts.â
âHe did try on your behalf today. Maybe he thought that since it was something youâd promised, he should deliver your promise for you, so he gritted his teeth and tried,â she explained.
The boy could not help feeling exasperated. âHow would he know how to do it?â
âUh huh. It failed several times.â Yun Shishi was silent for a moment. âIn the morning, Gong Fan suddenly fainted. I thought he hadnât slept well, so I put him to bed for a while.â
The boy nodded at that, feeling warm inside. He too, realized that when he opened his eyes just then, Yun Shishi was stunned for a moment, but she had quickly recognized that he was not Gong Fan, but Youyou!
It was heartwarming. In the past, when he and Little Yichen stood side by side, many people would mistake them for each other. But Yun Shishi could always tell them apart.
