Ning Li went through the details and double-checked her designs before she fine-tuned everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George might be an arrogant playboy but he was a capable one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, George was not in charge of the press conference but after he had seen Ning Li’s design drafts, he had come back to the country without a second thought and taken over the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then made some drastic changes to the original plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people might not be as audacious and bold as George since the press conference was just around the corner, but George was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the power and the spirit to change the plan from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting Ning Li’s reply, George replied almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dear Ning, I went all out for you in this.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given George’s status and wealth, even if this whole thing was screwed up beyond the point of return, it still would not affect him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of respect, Ning Li replied courteously. [Consider this press conference a meeting gift from me.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fine-tuning all the details, midnight had already come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li switched off her laptop and prepared to sleep. She instinctively reached out for her phone and saw a missed call notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from Lu Huaiyu and the call had been from an hour ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had missed his call because she had been so busy fine-tuning the proposal and set her phone to silent mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if it had been an hour ago, the hour was already late. Why the urgency?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li thought about it and texted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Second brother, I was busy just now and set my phone to silent.

Maybe I slept a little too much in the afternoon.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu sounded calm but Ning Li found it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man always had naps and had never had a problem sleeping at night before, so what had caused it today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu somehow guessed what the girl was thinking, so he sent her another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It has been a week.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at the clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No, it has been a week and a day]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li calculated the time in her mind and she realized that Lu Huaiyu had been losing sleep since last Saturday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he do that day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li thought about it and realized that it was she who had done something.?She had made him coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought shocked her right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is he... What is he trying to say?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at her phone. For some reason, she could feel the heat behind the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Second brother, staying up late is not good for your health. Try to sleep early.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu was not bothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’ve gotten used to it. It’s fine.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his 8th-day of having trouble sleeping and it had been 6 days since he saw the young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li replied after some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she sent him a screenshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screenshot showed a bunch of search results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The underlying dangers of staying up late.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There are many downsides to staying up late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1.Staying up late increases the risk of heart disease, especially for middle-aged people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2. Staying up late is bad for your liver and causes your liver function to wear down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3. Staying up late will cause damage to your kidney and weaken its function…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu glued his eyes to several particular words in the screenshot and his gaze became dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Middle-aged man, weakened kidney function, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li did not feel anything on the other end of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Look, staying up late is dangerous.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu went silent for a long while before grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmhmp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was being too kind to the girl and it had made her unscrupulous. How dare she send him this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your birthday is on 26th June, right?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt strange. Why the sudden question about her birthday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu replied almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are still a minor and if you stay up late, you won’t grow.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had somehow stepped on his tail without realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lu Huaiyu called her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was shocked but after some thought, she decided to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered herself in her blanket and answered with a muffled voice, “Hello?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was late. Her meek and muffled voice felt soft, like a curled-up cat tickling one’s ear with its paws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not able to see her in person and it made him a little frustrated. It had only been a few days but it felt like eons to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just remembered that you had your midterms last week. Have a good rest, good night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt strange but she replied nonetheless, “Good night, second brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at his phone and tapped on the voice recording app.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sweet and meek voice sounded and echoed in the silent room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good night, second brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up and returned to his bedroom and he put his phone beside his pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good night, second brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She really is an obedient girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanyang Art Museum was having a combined exhibition for several artists. The fact that Yu Pingchuan’s work would also be displayed had attracted a crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhouyang arrived at the museum early in the morning and sent a message to Ye Ci while waiting at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ye Ci, I’m here already. There’s a lot of people here. Are you sure you’re not coming?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ci was doing revision work on Mathematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had put a lot of effort into the competitive Physics class lately, which had caused her other subjects to fall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had felt her decline particularly after the midterm and it made her nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the art exhibition, she did not have the time for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’m busy, I’m not going]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhouyang scratched his head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had liked Ye Ci for a long time, he dared not make it too obvious because he knew it would only distract her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Ye Ci liked art, so he had mustered up enough courage to invite her to the art exhibition, but he was still rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a picture of the signage of the exhibition outside the museum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I heard Mr. Yu Pingchuan will be here today. It’s a pity that you can’t come.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ci glanced at the picture.
