"Urgh... urgh..."

In the bathroom, Xia Duoduo "vomited" with great effort, worried that her performance might not seem convincing enough, so she forced out a few tears for added effect.

Ye Cheng stood outside, listening to themotion within.

As time ticked by, the sounds of retching from a certain woman inside grew increasingly pitiful. A barely noticeable trace of concern flickered in his eyes before he finally stepped forward.

Xia Duoduo abruptly heard footsteps approaching, her body stiffened in panic. She quickly flipped the toilet lid down and reced her expression with one of utmost frailty, slumping over it and remainingpletely motionless.

When Ye Cheng walked in, he saw Xia Duoduo sprawled over the toilet lid, looking as though she was on the brink of copsing.

She tried to pry her eyelids open and mustered a weak smile at him. "You’re here..."

"I’ll take you to the hospital."

His tone was cold, and he moved to pull her up as he spoke.

"I just... drank too much... No need for the hospital," Xia Duoduo said weakly. "I’ll just... lie down for a bit and I’ll be fine..."

"Then get up first. You’re down with a cold now—it’ll affect the filming schedule for the crew."

If you’re worried, just say so! Why drag the crew into this?

Despite herints, Xia Duoduo couldn’t help but feel a sweet, bubbly warmth in her heart. Still feigning exhaustion, she remained slumped there, with her chin resting on the toilet lid. "I’m too weak from vomiting... can’t walk..."

Ye Cheng’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, watching her as though trying to determine whether she truly couldn’t move or if she was faking it.

Xia Duoduo avoided his scrutinizing gaze, rubbing her own stomach. "I’ve thrown up everything I ate... My stomach feels awful." She then looked at Ye Cheng with eyes shimmering pitifully with unshed tears.

Come on! It’s time to test my acting skills!

Ye Cheng rubbed his forehead in mild exasperation before walking over. He offered no words, merely bent over and scooped her up from the floor.

The man stayed entirely silent through the whole process. Even as he carried her, his expression remained indifferent, but Xia Duoduo was so ted she nearly jumped for joy!

Ye Cheng exuded an air of cold restraint, yet the warmth of his embrace was breathtakinglyforting. Xia Duoduo couldn’t resist snuggling closer into his chest.

She had this persistent hunch that beneath Ye Cheng’s icy surface was a heart soft as clouds. But that heart had been sealed away by his frosty exterior.

Ye Cheng ced Xia Duoduo back on the bed and immediately turned to leave.

"Hey..."

Xia Duoduo called out to his retreating figure somewhat dejectedly, assuming the Great Demon King was just off to sleep on the couch without a second nce at her.

A few minutester, to her surprise, a cup of warm honey water was ced in front of her.

Xia Duoduo’s mouth fell agape in shock—wide enough to fit an egg!

"Not drinking? I’ll toss it, then."

Seeing her nkly staring at him without taking the cup, Ye Cheng spoke with cold detachment.

"No, no! I’ll drink it! Right away!" Xia Duoduo quickly cradled the ss like it was a treasured gift and brought it to her lips, taking a cautious sip.

The honey’s sweetness spread across her tongue—not the slightest bit overwhelming.

As she drank, she kept sneaking nces at Ye Cheng, her heart pounding wildly against her ribs.

Under the warm light, the sharp contours of his handsome face became even more mesmerizing. His phoenix eyes shimmered with the glow of themp, his thin lips, slightly curved, carried a subtle sensual charm.

What a perfect man! Such a pity he’s not a celebrity!

Xia Duoduo was so fascinated that she forgot to keep drinking, her gaze fixed on him, unwilling to blink even once.

"Judging by the sparkle in your eyes, you seem to have sobered up quite a bit. I’ll call for a car to take you home—"

Xia Duoduo’s heart nearly leapt out of her chest as she hurriedly handed the ss back to him, interrupting his words. "I... I just suddenly feel dizzy again..." She clutched her head and dramatically flopped onto the bed, grasping a nket to pull over herself with her free hand. "Why am I so dizzy? Must be the alcohol getting to my head... I’ll rest here for a while first..."

Ye Cheng: "..."

The sudden shift in tone was simply too jarring.
