By the time she finished washing up, the others were almost done cleaning up as well. The three people at the door were nowhere to be seen too.
Bai Lin dried her hair as she went downstairs. She wore loose and soft pajamas which looked cozy, adding a softness to her usual fierceness.
It was quite lively downstairs.
Bai Xi was smiling beside Yan Ruo, Zhou Guang and Lin Sen were talking about something across them, Zhao Yuan and Bai Shao were sitting around the table, and Fan Feng was in a daze next to them.
Jin Ran was alone on the outer circle of the group, staring nervously at the second floor. When she saw Bai Lin coming down, her eyes lit up. “Jiejie!”
Everyone’s eyes then went to Bai Lin.
Bai Lin adapted well and found an empty seat to casually sit down.
Zhou Guang walked over and wanted to help her dry her hair, but someone was faster than him. Who knew how Yan Ruo’s legs grew, but it seemed like he had only taken one step before he was already behind Bai Lin. He naturally took the towel from Bai Lin’s hand and said, “It’s still dripping at the back.”
“Thanks.”
Bai Lin was very independent, but she did not mind being served. She squinted her eyes like a cute and lazy cat.
Not only was Best Actor good at bandaging, he was also professional in controlling his strength when drying one’s hair. Bai Lin almost fell asleep from how comfortable it was.
Zhao Yuan and Bai Shao seemed to be afraid of something as they obediently stayed in their original spot. They did not speak but only glared at her fiercely.
Jin Ran cut up some fruits and fed it to Bai Lin’s lips, where the latter did not put up any courteous act and ate it directly.
Zhou Guang saw that there was nothing he could do and caught a glimpse of the guitar hanging on the wall, so he took it down and sat back down beside Bai Lin.
As his fingertips strung lightly, a string of smooth and pleasant music greeted the room. Zhou Guang spent a few seconds to ready himself before he parted his lips.
The song was relaxed and pleasant. Zhou Guang’s clear voice echoed in the room. He played the song as he looked at Bai Lin, his eyes full of adoration.
Bai Lin’s hair was dry by the end of the song. She turned to look at Zhou Guang and clapped with a beam. “It’s nice.”
Zhou Guang chuckled. “You can come to me anytime you want to listen to it.” [Sob, sob, sob. Who’s shedding tears of envy?]
[I also want my head to be touched by Best Actor’s hand and listen to Best
Singer singing by my side. I want to the pretty genius to feed me fruit too.]
[I’m willing to give up ten years of my life in exchange. Please, let me be Bai Lin for a day.]
[I quite liked Bai Lin but now I can’t bring myself to like her anymore. How can she feel so entitled to be taken care of like this? Everyone’s the same and has been working hard the whole day. It’s not like she doesn’t have hands. Why should Best Actor dry her hair for her?]
[Oh, is it the green-eyed monster? Are you jealous that Bai Lin has someone to pamper her?]
[Bai Lin is indeed worthy of this kind of treatment. She has been protecting her team members so much and carrying them the whole way. What’s wrong with enjoying life for a bit now?]
Bai Xi kept staring at Bai Lin. Seeing the latter being surrounded by people, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood and could barely maintain the gentle smile on her face.
Lin Sen pushed up his glasses and glanced at her. “Are you done setting up the tent?”
Bai Xi’s expression immediately changed with someone paying attention to her. She looked a little dejected as she answered, “Not yet. I’m not as good as jiejie who knows everything.”
She was wearing a pink furry monster pajamas, and her fair little face was buried in the fleece, making her look even more fragile and pitiful but also a little cute.
Bai Xi knew which angle of hers looked the most pitiful, so she slowly blinked and softened her voice even more. “I haven’t eaten either. I’m so hungry.
Lin -gege…”
“I’m hungry.”
Bai Lin’s stomach growled. She got up, stretched, and slowly walked to the kitchen.
Those who were originally in the living room followed Bai Lin to the kitchen.
Bai Xi was interrupted by Bai Lin albeit the latter did it unconsciously. She paused and wanted to continue, but Lin Sen’s attention was no longer on her.
He was focused on looking at Bai Lin.
Bai Xi pursed her lips and grabbed Lin Sen’s arm, but he pulled it away coldly before he smiled politely and said, “I’ll go and see if I can help with anything.” He then followed the others into the kitchen.
Bai Xi’s nails dug into her palm and nearly bit her lower lip to bleeding. She stood in place for a few seconds before lifting her feet and followed.
Bai Lin held the rabbit in one hand and a knife in another in the kitchen. She was about to deal with it.
Suddenly, someone pounced over.
Bai Xi snatched the rabbit away and looked pitifully at Bai Lin. “Jiejie, what are you going to do to it?”
Bai Lin was baffled. “I’m cooking.”
“You’re eating the rabbit?”
“What else? Should I be eating you?” Bai Lin spun the knife and smirked evilly as she said, “Forget it, you’re too skinny. There’s nothing to eat.”
“Jie! You’re injured!”
