Ruan Qi had never attended elementary, junior, or high school, so she never truly grasped how terrifying it was for students to have their "early romance discovered by their parents".
Now she understood.
The moment she heard her master was coming to the Imperial Capital to settle accounts with her, the young girl felt like the end of the world was upon her.
That night, she had a night full of nightmares.
In her dream, she and Xi Jiu were two middle school students, holding hands and kissing in the woods by the playground.
Then the headteacher descended from the sky, insisting on finding their parents.
After the nightmare repeated itself eight hundred times, daylight came.
Ruan Qi, with dark circles under her eyes and looking listless, returned to the film set.
After she left, Ruan Munan and Nie Heng heaved a sigh of relief in unison.
Nie Heng turned on his phone and called Bei Lou on video.
"Has your senior sister left?" Bei Lou's voice came from the phone.
