After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

After Chapter 618, there is only the older brother, Number One.

Ten minutes means ten minutes!
After signing his name and affixing his fingerprint to the prepared confidentiality agreement, the visitor put the agreement away and briskly got up to leave, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"No, you're welcome."

After seeing the person off, Yan Ke closed the door and picked up his phone, which was lying face down on the table.

Exactly ten minutes, no more, no less.

He turned off the recording, then thought for a moment and played it again.

All that could be heard from the microphone was intermittent static.

I dragged the progress bar back a few more times, and unsurprisingly, all I heard was static.

I couldn't help but let out a soft hiss.

"That's...really cautious!"

After thinking about it, I decided to delete the recording, which was full of background noise, to make sure there was no trace of it. Then I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Pei Yuan and Yue Zhuo didn't try to be clever by secretly recording the conversation on their phones, but after signing the agreement and seeing the visitors off, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

From this moment forward, they will pretend that nothing happened tonight!

No matter how curious you are, you can't mention it!

Song Ciyuan tiptoed into the living room.

Li Zhi was busy with her work in a corner of the living room while waiting for someone. Hearing the noise, she turned around and saw who it was. She quickly picked up her laptop from her lap, put it on the table, stood up, and called out in a low voice, "Master."

Song Ciyuan gestured for her to sit down opposite him, "Sit down, is Chao Yu asleep?"

"They went into the bedroom a quarter of an hour ago, so they probably haven't gone to sleep yet."

Song Ciyuan hesitated for a moment, then decided against going over to knock on the door to see if she had come back and asked if she had seen me or not.

Li Zhi paused for a moment after being asked the question, then nodded, "I asked."

"How did you respond?"

“I told you you were busy and weren’t sure when you’d be back.”

"and then?"

"Then she nodded, ate a bowl of the medicinal soup you ordered the kitchen to prepare, and went back to her room." After a pause, Li Zhi asked again, "Would you like some late-night snack?"

Song Ciyuan patted his stomach. "Okay, take more."

After the intense battle with the gray-robed man, I was quite hungry.

Li Zhi got up and went to the kitchen to get a late-night snack herself.

When Song Ciyuan returned from washing his hands, he found that the late-night snack was already laid out on the table.

"Would you like some too?"

"No, no need."

Li Zhi waved her hand in refusal, sat down, picked up her laptop, and continued working.

So the two of them used the same light source, one eating a late-night snack and the other busy working, and it was quite harmonious.

When Yuan Chaoyu opened the bedroom door, this was the scene he saw.

After hesitating for a moment, she went over and said, "Brother is back."

Song Ciyuan quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, then took a sip of water from his cup. "It's getting late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I have a habit of glancing at tomorrow's schedule before going to bed, so I know what's going on and can sleep peacefully. I just remembered I forgot it in the living room, so I came out to get it."

Song Ciyuan: "Good habit!"

Yuan Chaoyu picked up the notice board from the coffee table as he passed by, but instead of turning back, he continued walking forward to Song Ciyuan. He glanced at the rather large portion of late-night snack that Song Ciyuan had just started eating and asked, "Brother, you came back so late and ate so much late-night snack. Are you tired?"

"Ah ha," Song Ciyuan chuckled, "It's alright, not too tiring."

Yuan Chaoyu realized that he didn't intend to say what he was going to do that night, so he didn't ask any further. "Then brother should eat and get some rest."

"You too, don't stay up too late."

After Song Ciyuan finished his late-night snack, he got up to go back to his room to rest. He paused as he passed Yuan Chaoyu's bedroom door.

The bedroom door wasn't closed completely, leaving a crack through which light could be seen.

He narrowed his eyes, hesitated for two seconds, then turned and knocked on the door. "Come in."

Song Ciyuan pushed open the door and saw Yuan Chaoyu sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the notice in his hand, looking up at him.

He stopped at the foot of the bed and didn't go any further. "Waiting for me? Do you have something to say to me alone?"

Li Zhi was there just now, that's why this girl didn't say it.

Yuan Chaoyu nodded decisively, "I want to ask my brother a question."

"You ask."

"Brother, will you come back?"

After he finished speaking, the bedroom remained quiet for a while.

After asking the question, Yuan Chaoyu lowered his eyes, his fingers gripping the corner of the notice tightly as he nervously awaited an answer.

Then a hand landed on her head and gently rubbed it, saying, "It won't happen again. From now on, you'll only have your brother."

"okay, I get it."

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Chaoyu raised his hand and gently touched the top of his head, which had been ruffled a few times. He then glanced at the shell lamp on the ceiling that had been turned off and the bedroom door that was tightly closed. He put the notice in his hand on the bedside table and turned off the bedside lamp as well. Then he shrank into the quilt and covered his head.

A tear silently slid down her cheek and soaked into her pillow.

She didn't know why she was crying.

Perhaps it was the storyline they were filming tomorrow that affected them.

It wasn't until dawn that the gray-robed man, who had been lying quietly on the bed in the back room, finally stirred.

"no no……"

He murmured and struggled for a while as if trapped in a nightmare, until his face was covered in fine sweat. Then, as if he had broken free from something, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

She sat on the bed blankly for a while before getting out of bed with some stiffness, walking straight to the bathroom next door, turning on the light, and turning on the faucet on the sink to wash the sweat off her face.

I looked up and stared intently at the mirror in front of me.

In a daze, his gray-brown pupils were filled with gray-blue.

His tone was indifferent as he spoke: "You want to get rid of me? Don't forget that I gave you your life. I can give it to you, and I can take it back."

Tonight is the first time you've resisted betraying me, so I'm giving you a chance.

"If there's a next time, Number One, I will erase all of your consciousness."

A somewhat distorted and terrifying face appeared in the mirror. The gray-robed man clenched his fist with all his might, about to punch the mirror.

A voice suddenly rang out from the camera above his head: "You've damaged the furniture, you need to pay for it!"

The fist stopped abruptly in front of the mirror, failing to strike.

The reason is simple: he has no money!
He shook his head vigorously again, and finally his face in the mirror returned to normal.

The gray-blue color in his pupils gradually faded.

The voice that rang out again was stiff from not speaking often, and contained a hint of undisguised embarrassment, "I'm... I'm sorry!"

"Um, I want to take a shower."

The light on the camera went out.

After turning off the camera, Li Chengxiao also took off his headphones; he didn't have a penchant for watching or listening to people take showers.

He got up and went back to the bedroom. As soon as he got into bed and lifted the covers to lie down, the person next to him rolled over and a leg was draped over him.

Jiang Hanying didn't even open her eyes. With a push of her leg, she leaned against him and mumbled, "What were you doing?"

Li Chengxiao grabbed Jiang Hanying's calf from under the covers, but after trying hard, he couldn't move her legs off him. Instead, she wrapped them even tighter. He took a deep breath and reluctantly let go. "There was some noise in the backyard, so I went to check. It's fine now. It's not dawn yet, so let's sleep a little longer."

"Ah."

She then grabbed another arm and placed it under her head. Jiang Hanying rubbed her head against her cheap master's chin, then tilted her head back and kissed him somewhere. Before long, she fell asleep again.

Li Chengxiao, trapped and unable to move like a giant doll: "..."

If he remembered correctly, just two hours ago, someone complained that their legs were sore and asked him to give them a good massage.

Isn't this recovery speed a bit too fast?
