Looking at their chat history, a slight smile appeared at the corner of the man’s eyes. He turned to glance at Chi You, who was resting.

The girl’s eye mask covered almost half of her face, and there was no excess fat on her fair chin. She had indeed been working hard during the filming period, and it had been a long time since she had rested properly.

Gu Jingxu gazed at Chi You for a while, then his phone screen suddenly lit up. He opened it and saw a message from Bo Yihong.

[Bo Yihong: Director He said we’re starting soon. Are you in the car? I’ll come find you, and we can go together!]

Gu Jingxu’s eyelids twitched, and he almost immediately realized something— the car door wasn’t locked.

Just as he thought about it, the car door was suddenly pulled open from the outside, and Bo Yihong’s excited voice followed, “Chi— Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the heck?”

He exclaimed in shock, standing dumbfounded in place.

Gu Jingxu furrowed his brow and quickly covered Chi You’s ears with his hands.

But it was already too late. Bo Yihong’s voice was too loud, and Chi You, who wasn’t in a deep sleep, was immediately awakened.

The girl lifted her hand, gently lifted the eye mask with her fingers, and frowned, squinting as she looked outside the car. “What’s going on?”

Bo Yihong stood still outside the car, gaping in confusion. His gaze shifted from Gu Jingxu to Chi You, his lips trembling for several moments before he stammered, “You… you guys, President Gu… how… What’s your relationship?”

Startled by Bo Yihong’s sudden appearance, Yang Qirou quickly reacted. She attempted to get out of the car to close the door and explain to Bo Yihong, but just as she was about to pull Bo Yihong aside, Chi You calmly said from behind, “No relationship.”

As soon as the girl’s voice sounded, Gu Jingxu’s body immediately stiffened.

His limbs seemed frozen, and after a moment, he slowly lowered his head to look into Chi You’s eyes.

“I…”

The man only uttered a single word, and Chi You raised her hand to cradle half of his face. Then, she leaned in, gently leaving a kiss at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s just that kind of relationship.”

Gu Jingxu froze again.

Yang Qirou, who hadn’t managed to take Bo Yihong away, exclaimed, “Wow.”

Bo Yihong, shocked twice in less than a minute, stammered, “What?!!”

Compared to them, Chi You seemed like an outsider.

She casually put the eye mask aside, reached for a hair tie, and tied up her long hair. At the same time, she didn’t forget to turn back, give Gu Jingxu another peck on the cheek, and softly say, “He’ll know sooner or later. After work, let’s go eat something delicious.”

Currently, Chi You had collaborated with Bo Yihong quite a bit, and their interaction was close. The relationship between her and Gu Jingxu would eventually be exposed, so why not just reveal it now?

Gu Jingxu’s eyes followed her movements, lowering and then lifting again. His elegant and slender fingers rested on his leg. Watching Chi You get out of the car, he let out a slow and affirmative sound.

The man’s eyes sparkled.

They… had that kind of relationship.

…

On the set after finishing a scene, Bo Yihong slowly moved over to sit on a small stool. He shifted quietly, and He Xing, turning around without paying attention, almost kicked him. “What are you doing sneaking around?”

Bo Yihong hmphed but didn’t say anything.

He sat next to Chi You for a while, hesitated, and only when there was no one around, he quietly asked, “Are you and President Gu… together now?”

Chi You glanced at him.

Bo Yihong scratched his head. “He didn’t force you, did he? I… saved up some money over the years…”

“What are you thinking?” Chi You put the script down, picked up the water beside her, and took a sip. “It’s not what you’re thinking.”

Bo Yihong blinked. “Are you really together?”

Chi You raised an eyebrow without saying anything.

“…But President Gu looks very fierce. Do you like that type?” Bo Yihong looked puzzled.

“He’s very good-looking.”

Bo Yihong: “Whoa.”

It seemed like it.

Even though he had seen quite a few handsome guys in the entertainment industry, Bo Yihong couldn’t help but admit that Gu Jingxu’s face indeed had a significant advantage.

Before he could ponder further, Chi You added, “And he’s not fierce.”

Bo Yihong: “Huh?”

He Xing called them again from the other side, so Chi You stood up, bent down to place the water bottle, and looked up nonchalantly, saying, “He’s very cute.”

Bo Yihong: “???”

Cute???

…

Not long after, “Watching the Tides” trended again.

The reason was that the series had reached its finale, and the ending for the antagonist couple, Song Anying and Li Yuanming, made many fans tear up.

Chi You sat with Bo Yihong in front of an empty palace, and that scene was edited into numerous scenes. Meanwhile, fans were urging for the release of behind-the-scenes footage of Chi You and Bo Yihong on He Xing’s account and the official account of the “Sailing Through a Thousand Waves” drama.

Despite fans crying out, the official accounts remained unresponsive. Suddenly, one day, there was some movement—a Weibo post featuring Qin Yi guest-starring in the series.

Fans immediately went wild.
