Ji Niandong came out of the bathroom and found that only the bedside lamp was on in the room, the dim orange light making one feel comfortably sleepy.
The door was already closed, it seemed that he really wanted her to rest well!
However, she still walked over to lock the door before feeling at ease.
Sitting on the bed thinking about completing the task, she still couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t possible to achieve it in one step, but the task had to be completed.
Ji Niandong opened the video app, starting to watch others’ recorded performances over and over again. Indeed, there were various talented people.
Watching others’ vivid performances, she noticed that the top-liked videos were recorded by different people, meaning they each had a specialty performance. Lu Beichen was right, as long as the task was completed, it was fine. So she decided to study one video carefully and record a qualified one herself.
Suddenly motivated, Ji Niandong realized the videos were short, and the lines were brief too, meaning she just had to grasp the short lines and emotional performance well.
She selected an impromptu performance with just one person’s lines, studied it seriously, tried recording it once to find the feeling, then began to grasp the speech speed and facial expressions. Finally, unsure of how long it took, she ended it with satisfaction, falling excitedly onto the bed.
Unable to resist, she opened WeChat and sent Lu Beichen a message: "I think I’ve completed the video recording!"
Lu Beichen, lying in the guest room, had just finished a chat with Zhu Yiming. Receiving the message, the worry on his face vanished, and he replied: "I told you, you could do it. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself!"
"I’m so happy right now! I’ve already sent it to the secretary, hoping it will pass!"
No reply from the other side, Ji Niandong hugged her phone waiting for a few seconds before hearing a knock on the door, startling her. She put down the phone and ran over, opening the door just to peek out her head, and sure enough, Lu Beichen was standing outside.
He was still wearing the same clothes from earlier, hadn’t he prepared to rest yet?
"Little Uncle, you haven’t showered yet? Why aren’t you resting? Was I noisy while recording earlier?" she asked, blinking up at him.
Lu Beichen furrowed his brows and looked at him intensely, his dark eyes appearing dim, not answering her. Ji Niandong asked softly: "Little Uncle, did something happen?"
He reached out as if to push the door open, but seeing a trace of panic on her face, he finally stopped his hand on the door, swallowed, and asked: "May I hug you for a moment?"
The man who was always so confident and seemed to have everything under control suddenly said this, and Ji Niandong didn’t know how to respond, but she visibly relaxed a bit.
Lu Beichen pushed the door open, stepped forward, and gently hugged her. His gentle voice sounded above her head, "There are some things, but I’ve already asked Li Yi to handle them! Knowing that you’re happy right now makes me very happy, so, just a hug!"
His voice was like a charm, leaning against his chest, hearing his heartbeat made hers race too, "Little Uncle, it’s thanks to your reminder that I completed it, I should be thanking you!"
"Holding you , are you afraid or do you dislike it?" he asked softly.
"Not at all!" Ji Niandong blushed, "Maybe because we just met, I was a bit afraid of Little Uncle, but spending these past few days together, I found Little Uncle is actually a good person!"
Lu Beichen chuckled, "Don’t casually hand out a ’good person card’ to a man, nor easily think a man is a good person. Of course, I will be a good husband!"
He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, "Good night, Mrs. Lu!"
