Jing MO awkwardly stayed silent for a moment before finally speaking, “So, was there mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?”

“How could there be! I wasn't unconscious!” Xia Xin immediately retorted.

Reassured, Jing MO picked up his phone and said, “Your phone should be delivered back to you shortly by Sun Hu. Just stay home today, and you can go back to the set tomorrow.”

Xia Xin readily agreed; after all, she didn't want the hassle of going back and forth. Staying at home was far more comfortable than being on set.

It wasn't long before Sun Hu returned with Xia Xin's phone. Gao Xin initially worried that Xia Xin would insist on coming along, but Gao Xin ultimately went home after Sun Hu persuaded her.

Sun Hu thought it would be hard to explain if Gao Xin found out that Xia Xin and Jing MO were living together.

Sun Hu took back his car keys, looked at the troublesome pair before him, and sighed, “Do you know how much trouble it would be if the media captured you carrying her? Xia Xin is a newcomer to the industry, not well-known. She can't afford any scandals. She's just starting to gain some traction; one wrong move and her reputation could be ruined.”

As Sun Hu finished speaking, Xia Xin walked out of the room.

Seeing Xia Xin, Sun Hu awkwardly rubbed his nose, realizing that she had heard his words. Handing her the phone, Sun Hu said, “I don't know if you were spotted by paparazzi on your way back. I have to clean up after you guys.”

Sun Hu exited, reminding them before leaving, “I'll pick you up for the set tomorrow. In the meantime, both of you stay home and avoid trouble!” Xia Xin obediently nodded, and Jing MO remained silent.

After Sun Hu left, an awkward silence enveloped the room, only to be broken by the growling of Xia Xin's stomach.

Pouting, Xia Xin looked at Jing MO and said, “I haven't been eating well during the set's lockdown. Look, I've lost weight!”

As Xia Xin spoke, she rubbed her already slim face.

Hearing Xia Xin said that, Jing MO couldn't help but relent. He gently pinched

Xia Xin's cheek and said affectionately, “You've definitely lost weight.”

Both froze for a moment, and Jing MO quickly released Xia Xin's face, mumbling, “I'll go cook, er… I mean, I'll go buy fish.”

Stuttering, Xia Xin replied, “Okay, I'll… prepare the vegetables for you.”

After exiting, Jing MO realized just how inappropriate his actions were.

Touching her flushed cheek, Xia Xin reflected on their interaction and surprisingly felt a bit happy.

By the time Jing MO returned with groceries, Xia Xin had already prepared the vegetables.

Like before, Xia Xin watched as Jing MO put on an apron and began cooking, this time frying fish.

Jing Mo t s tall, broad figure had Xia Xin mesmerized. She imagined that if he ever had a scene requiring him to be shirtless, fans would swarm the set.

'Who would end up with such a handsome guy? Probably a gentle and stunning beauty.' Xia Xin thought.

However, the thought of Jing MO cooking for another woman made Xia Xin uncomfortable.

While Xia Xin was still in a daze, Jing MO had finished cooking the meal and the aroma was alluring. He waved his hand in front of her face and said, “Stop daydreaming. Wash your hands and let's eat.”

“Alright,” Xia Xin cheerfully agreed and went to wash up. After that, she helped bring the dishes out to the dining table.

They chatted while eating, and Xia Xin enthusiastically talked about recent happenings on set.

“I've encountered some difficulties in my acting,” said Xia Xin. “I wanted to ask for your advice, but MO Shu was there and gave me some tips. They were really helpful.”

Jing MO coldly responded with a mere acknowledgement.

Continuing, Xia Xin said, “However, I'll soon be filming a kissing scene. It's my first time, so I'm a bit nervous.'

'A kissing scene?' Jing MO thought.

Jing MO gripped his chopsticks too hard, breaking the delicate fish meat on his chopsticks.

Teasing Jing MO, Xia Xin adopted a parental tone, “Fish meat is fragile; you can't grip it so hard.. Don't you know how to use chopsticks?”
