Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Unrequited Love

"So my wife will absolutely not enter the entertainment circle," Long Yubei said, kissing Gu Lili as though no one was present, "Just obediently be my good wife."

"Ouch," Liang He grimaced, "Do you really have to do this in front of a single dog like me?"

"Knowing you’re a single dog and still not rushing to find someone."

Liang He looked towards the distant sea, "It’s not like shopping for groceries, it’s not that easy."

"Must be hard for you."

"Hard for what? It’s not hard at all."

"What I mean isn’t this matter," Long Yubei said slowly in front of everyone, "It must be hard for you being 25 and still a virgin."

Liang He felt ridiculed and couldn’t help but retort, "It’s only been a few days since you broke your V, and you’re lecturing me."

"It’s been months, not days."

Gu Lili really couldn’t listen anymore, "Can you two find something more wholesome to talk about?"

Liang He chuckled, "Sister-in-law, do you see your man’s true colors? He always loves to troll me like this; you should keep him in check."

"..."

The beach has patrols at night, forbidding outsiders from approaching. After all, with the expensive daily rent, it naturally requires peace and quiet.

After everyone finished washing up, they played cards together until midnight.

Long Yubei and Gu Lili slept in their own tent, but Liang He couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

He unzipped Shi Xiaotian’s tent and found her inside, watching something on her tablet.

He bent down to enter, making sure to zip the tent closed behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

"Comments under your Weibo."

He sat down, glanced over, and indeed it was, "You care about the netizens’ opinions of you?"

"I’m just looking casually. But, Brother Liang, what do you think about your fans calling you ’husband’?"

"It’s just for fun," Liang He lied down casually, hands behind his head, "Who would really take me as their husband? After all, they’re fully aware it’s impossible for me to be their husband."

"You’re only going to be one woman’s husband." Shi Xiaotian put the tablet aside and turned to meet his gaze, "Brother Liang, have you ever thought about when you’ll get married?"

"I haven’t thought about it."

"I guess you won’t get married until you’re well into your thirties." Shi Xiaotian knew male stars in the entertainment circle, especially the popular ones, tend to marry late.

"What about you?"

"I, on the other hand, do want to marry early and start a family, have a loving husband, and a cute child, but I haven’t even been in a relationship, and I’m the kind of person who’d rather have nothing than settle. So getting married seems like a luxury."

"Is there someone you like now?"

"There is."

Liang He was curious upon hearing her, "Who? Someone from our company?"

"Yes."

"An artist?"

"I don’t want to answer." Shi Xiaotian changed the topic, "Because I know there’s no possibility."

Liang He was certain, "Then it must be a male artist."

Shi Xiaotian replied shyly, "Brother Liang, please don’t guess anymore."

"Knowing it’s impossible, you shouldn’t entertain the thought."

Shi Xiaotian looked at him, her hidden meaning unclear, and didn’t respond.

Outside was quiet, with only the sound of the waves to be heard.

Shi Xiaotian casually picked up a book she brought and started to read. After a while, she heard no noise from Liang He, and upon looking again, she found him fast asleep.

She reached for the blanket and gently covered him with it, bravely gazing at his features.

The more she looked, the more she liked him.

The more time she spent with him these days, the deeper she fell.
