Jing MO consoled Xia Xin, “The first time filming can be like this.” After a moment of silence, he continued, “How about this? Tomorrow, I’ll take you to a cat cafe for a close encounter with some cats. It might help.”

Since tomorrow was a day off, and Xia Xin needed a break, she agreed.

After ending the call, Xia Xin stared at the mess of broken dishes on the floor. Feeling overwhelmed, she left everything as it was, carelessly dropping the broom on the ground, and went back to her room to lie down.

Layle, on the other hand, obediently lay by Xia Xin’s feet and soon drifted off to sleep as well.

That night, Xia Xin had a dream. She dreamt that Wu Jia constantly followed her, calling her, and gradually took away all her belongings, destroying her home piece by piece. In that dream, Wu Jia seemed to transform into a home-wrecking Husky, relentlessly tormenting various pieces of furniture, leaving her home in disarray.

At one point, Xia Xin even heard Wu Jia pounding the wall with her fists. However, the sound was so clear and so real. Xia Xin suddenly woke up, realizing that it wasn’t a dream; there was indeed a pounding sound coming from the wall.

Xia Xin rushed out to see Wu Jia holding a hammer and nailing something to the wall. Xia Xin quickly intervened, “What are you doing?”

Wu Jia, still standing on a chair with a hammer in hand, replied, “I think this place is too empty, and I want to hang a painting here.”

Xia Xin’s anger flared and shouted, “But this is my home! If you want to hang anything, you should have asked me first, right?”

Wu Jia remained nonchalant and said, “I feel like I’ll be living here for a long time. I value my living environment. Won’t you allow it?”

Xia Xin, infuriated beyond measure, declared, “That’s enough! Stop doing that.

We’re probably the same age. I’m not older than you and I said you can call me Xia Xin!”

Wu Jia pouted, “Fine, Xia Xin. But can’t I hang a painting here? Would it hurt?”

Fuming, Xia Xin responded, “I don’t need those things, and this is a rented apartment. If you hang things all over the place, how will I return the house in the same condition to the landlord?”

Wu Jia, undeterred, said, “It’s just a nail. If the landlord doesn’t allow you to use nails, then you shouldn’t rent from her.”

Exasperated, Xia Xin ordered, “Go back to your room!”

Unhappy but complying, Wu Jia returned to her room. Before entering, she looked at Xia Xin with a curious expression, “You must have a boyfriend, right?

That’s why you find me annoying?”

Confused, Xia Xin didn’t understand what Wu Jia meant.

Wu Jia casually tossed the hammer aside and said, “I heard your phone call yesterday. It was definitely a male voice on the other end. Now you’re so irritable; it must be because I’m disturbing your private time with him. In that case, you shouldn’t have invited me to stay at your place. You could have arranged for me to stay in a hotel, which would be more comfortable for both of us.’

“You!” Xia Xin was so angry she couldn’t even speak, and Wu Jia had already turned and gone back into her room.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xia Xin opened it to find that it was Zhao Nan.

Carrying two bags of snacks and groceries, Zhao Nan entered and said, “I took a day off today and came specifically to prepare a big meal for you!”

Xia Xin felt like she had seen a family member and rushed to hug Zhao Nan. Xia

Xin said, “You’re finally here! Save me!”

Zhao Nan, still bewildered from the hug, observed the chaos in the room and exclaimed, “Calm down, Xia Xin. Could you tell me what happened to you? And your house?”

Setting down her things, Xia Xin sat dejectedly on the sofa. Potato chip crumbs were still scattered about, and there were potato chip wrappers on the floor. The whole place looked as if it had been ransacked.

Zhao Nan found a relatively clean spot to sit down and, in amazement, looked at the decor around her and said, “I was just gone for a few days, and your home looks like it’s been looted.”

Xia Xin, overwhelmed, finally let her tears flow and briefly explained the situation to Zhao Nan.

After hearing everything, Zhao Nan was furious. She headed towards Wu Jia’s room, and Xia Xin pulled her back, asking, “What are you going to do?”

Zhao Nan replied, “Resolve the issue!”

Xia Xin, her face full of grievances, asked, “You’re not going to hit her, are you?”

Zhao Nan, speechless, said, “Do I look like that kind of person?”

With teary eyes, Xia Xin nodded..
