With that, Jian Yichen went upstairs.

Jian Yiyi stomped her feet in anger. She turned around and looked at Qiao Shuyi with an aggrieved expression. “Mom, look at Yichen…”

His sister was going to be a celebrity. If it were someone else’s brother, wouldn’t he be so happy and proud that his tail would rise up to the sky?

Her brother, on the other hand, did not react at all. He did not even cheer her on wholeheartedly.

Seeing this, Qiao Shuyi couldn’t help but purse her lips and chuckle. Then, she comforted her. “Alright, Yiyi. It’s not like you don’t know Yichen’s personality. He’s not interested in these things, but Mom knows he must be happy for you.”

Jian Yiyi pouted. She couldn’t be angry at her biological brother. Moreover, her mother was right. Her brother had been like this since he could remember. He never looked at anything that he wasn’t interested in.

“You just said that they adapted this movie from a famous novel, right?” Qiao Shuyi suddenly asked.

Jian Yiyi quickly nodded. “Yes, the author’s name is Chu Lingfeng. He’s the most popular mystery novel author now. Yichen likes him a lot.”

“Mom usually has nothing to do at home. Later, show Mom the novel so Mom would understand what kind of role our Yiyi is playing,” Qiao Shuyi said gently.

Hearing that her mother was willing to learn the movie she was in, Jian Yiyi was overjoyed. She immediately ran upstairs and said, “Mom, wait for me. I’ll get it for you now.”

Seeing this, Qiao Shuyi couldn’t help but look at Jian Yiyi’s back and smile dotingly.

However, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her gaze landed on the art clock on the living room wall.

It was already half-past nine in the evening. Tonight, Changsheng would probably not be back again.

The next day, as soon as Gao Yang entered the school with his school bag, a figure that suddenly appeared stopped him.

“Brother Yang!”

Yu Mengyao’s pretty face was full of smiles. She handed an exquisite bag to Gao Yang. “Here, I especially bought it for you.”

Gao Yang’s gaze landed on the packaging. Seeing that it was a dessert he usually liked, he nodded and reached out to take it. “Thank you.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me.” Yu Mengyao smiled sweetly and looked at Gao Yang. “Brother Yang, let’s go to the movies after school? You haven’t watched a movie with me for a long time.”

Gao Yang looked at her with a calm expression, but his eyes under the glasses were exceptionally stern.

That gaze was as soul-stirring as cold water, as if it wanted to see through Yu Mengyao’s smile and see through her soul hidden under her skin.

Yu Mengyao felt that cold gaze and the smile on her face gradually froze. Then, she blinked innocently. “Brother Yang?”

His gaze dissipated, and Gao Yang sighed softly. “I have something to ask you.”

As he spoke, Gao Yang ignored the others’ gazes and reached out to grab Yu Mengyao’s wrist. He pulled her to the wall at the school gate.

“Brother Yang, you’re hurting me!” Yu Mengyao pulled her wrist back and rubbed it in pain. She looked at Gao Yang coquettishly.

Gao Yang didn’t care at all and just frowned at her.

Yu Mengyao looked at Gao Yang for a moment before muttering, “What’s wrong?”

Although Gao Yang usually looked cold and indifferent, he had always been very gentle to Yu Mengyao, who had grown up with him.
