Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

"Hmm." Feng Xi nodded immediately. "What are those things? I've never seen them before."

"I don't know, and I don't dare to ask."

Shadow Falcon lowered his voice a bit, "And what's even stranger is that they always appear in the morning, even though no one has entered the prince's room at night."

"That's strange?" Feng Xi was shocked, then worried. "Those things... won't harm His Highness, will they?"

"Probably not," Shadow Falcon said. "Otherwise, the prince wouldn't have stayed in the room."

After speaking, Feng Xi pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something and looked at the Shadow Falcon beside him.

"So this isn't the first time you've seen this?"

Shadow Falcon paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm..."

The next moment, Feng Xi almost cried out in surprise, "No wonder you reminded me before, I didn't understand it at the time."

Looking back now, it's so bizarre.

However, no matter how curious they were, they dared not ask Yu Chen.

On set, Su Wuli had just finished a scene and during a break, she couldn't help but wonder if Yu Chen would eat the self-heating rice.

Although she said it all yesterday, Yu Chen is also very good at learning.

But she was still a little worried that he might go hungry if things went wrong.

Fortunately, the evening scenes were filmed quickly, and the scheduled wrap-up time of midnight was an hour earlier than planned.

She took a quick shower after returning to her apartment.

Lying in bed, I was still thinking about whether he would eat those canned foods and whether he would be able to cook self-heating rice.

As I was thinking, my consciousness sank.

When I opened my eyes again, sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

She stood in the center of the room, with the things she had brought piled up on a table beside the tatami mat.

Yu Chen noticed and looked up at her.

Su Wuli met his gaze and subconsciously walked over.

But the man seemed different from usual.

His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if he had seen something.

But it only lasted for a moment, and soon things returned to normal.

She didn't notice anything unusual, looked down at the pile of things, and asked, "Have you eaten those canned goods?"

Yu Chen did not answer.

Su Wuli, puzzled, continued to ask, "And self-heating rice, is it good?"

Yu Chen still did not answer.

Su Wuli became increasingly puzzled and looked up at him.

She noticed that Yu Chen was looking at her, his eyes were somewhat deep, but she couldn't understand them.

Unable to resist asking, "What's wrong?"

After he finished speaking, the man looked away.

He then answered in a low voice, "I didn't eat."

Hearing this, she paused for a moment, "You haven't eaten?" Her brows furrowed slightly, "Why haven't you eaten?"

Su Wuli looked at the pile of things and felt a little anxious.

He bought so much, but didn't eat a single one?

Then she bought it for nothing?

"Is it not tasty?" she asked tentatively. "Or do you not know how to cook it?"

Perhaps what I bought didn't suit his taste?

Unexpectedly, Yu Chen stared at her without answering.

Su Wuli took it as his tacit agreement.

"You don't know how to make self-heating rice?" She walked over to the pile of things and rummaged through them. "I'll teach you, it's very simple..."

As she spoke, she pulled out a box of self-heating rice, opened the packaging, and took out the contents one by one.

Rice packet, vegetable packet, heating pack, and a small bag of water.

She unpacked each package, carefully placed the rice and vegetable packets inside, and then closed the lids.

"Just a moment."

She walked back to sit down next to him, and together they looked at the box.

Smoke began to rise from the top of the box, drifting out in wisps.

"Look, that's it." She pointed to the cigarette. "It'll heat up inside in a bit, and the food will be cooked."

The man looked at the cigarette, then his gaze fell on her, as if deep in thought.

Su Wuli felt that Yu Chen was acting strangely today, and the way he looked at her was odd.

She had intended to ask, but looking at the self-heating rice, she felt that there seemed to be a lot of smoke.

I couldn't help but move closer to see if something was wrong.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

To be precise, the door was only slightly ajar, as if it were only temporarily closed, waiting for someone from outside to push it open at any moment.

"Your Highness—"

The person's voice was stuck in their throat.

Su Wuli saw the other person standing at the door, holding something in their hand, staring straight at her.

After staring at it for two seconds, he dropped what he was holding.

She looked at the other person, and the other person looked at her.

His face was filled with shock, and his mouth was agape.

His gaze moved from her face to the self-heating rice, then back to her face, repeating this several times.

Su Wuli didn't react for a moment, wondering if she should say hello, even though everyone else in the dream was an NPC.

But then Yu Chen glanced at the newcomer and said calmly, "Get out."

The Shadow Falcon acted as if it hadn't heard anything and didn't move.

Then Yu Chen repeated, "Get out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Falcon finally came to his senses, staggered back a step, and bumped into the door frame.

"Yes...yes..." He nodded haphazardly a few times, then turned and stumbled out.

The door slammed shut with a "snap".

The room fell silent instantly, with only the steaming sound of the self-heating rice breaking out.

Su Wuli looked at the closed door, then at Yu Chen.

She instinctively opened her mouth to ask, "What's wrong with him?"

Yu Chen looked over, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

He didn't answer her question, but simply reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Su Wuli slumped onto his lap, and the arm around her waist tightened, pulling her into his embrace.

Su Wuli tried to move, but couldn't move at all.

He hugged her too tightly...

Just then, a deep voice rang out, "The stuff isn't ready yet."

She sat on his lap, her face pressed against the crook of his neck, and could clearly see the man's prominent Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

But he didn't say anything.

Su Wuli turned her head to look at the box that was still smoking. The smoke was less than before, so she thought it should be done soon.

"It should be about time..." she said, sitting up a little from his lap. The man released his hand at the right moment and didn't stop her.

Su Wuli sat next to the box and touched the edge with her finger. It was a little hot, but not hot enough to be touched.

She carefully pinched the edge of the lid, preparing to lift it.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, two knocks, clearly with a cautious force.

"Your Highness." A voice came from outside the door, carrying a hint of desperation, "I have important matters to report."

Yu Chen paused for a moment, then said, "Come in."

The door was then gently pushed open.

Su Wuli's hand had already opened a crack.

She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to stop or continue.

But before he could stop, the lid was already open.

A plume of white smoke suddenly shot out, heading straight for her face.
