On a quiet night like this, the soft voice very clearly transmitted to Huo Yusen’s ears.

And it was sweet and attractive.

The hand on Huo Wu’s chin paused a bit, then slowly let go. Instead, Huo Yusen tapped her on her head lightly and ordered, “Go to sleep now. If there are any questions you don’t understand, you can ask me. But of course, this has to be before 12:00 am. You have to be in bed by midnight.”

Although Huo Wu knew that Huo Yusen was doing this for her sake, she still frowned sadly.

She wanted to try a bit more to fight for her right to sleep late. “Big brother, I have so many classmates who pull all-nighters. It’s really not a big deal for me to sleep at one or two.”

High school already had a lot of homework, especially now that she had to prepare for gaokao. She had to do around ten practice tests every day, so it was actually pretty common for people to stay up late studying. And as for her current progress, she believed that she was still a bit far away from her target school. If she didn’t work hard now, she would really miss the chance of going to her dream school.

Huo Yusen squinted his eyes a bit as he looked at Huo Wu, and said coldly, “Do you not want your body anymore?”

It was only a matter of time before her body couldn’t take this anymore. And if she got sick before the night of the gaokao, it would prevent her from taking the test to her full potential as well.

Hearing this, Huo Wu pitifully used her thumb and her index finger to show that she only needed a small amount of time, and said, “Big brother, I’ve been doing this for so many days already. It wouldn’t hurt me to stay up late for just a few more days.” Everyone else probably went through the same things as well, so Huo Wu didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

But Huo Yusen had an obvious objection to it. “It will be too late once you see the harm.”

Huo Yusen seemed to be especially persistent on the topic of sleeping early. “It’s already 1:00 am right now. Go to bed immediately.”

With that said, Huo Wu knew that there was no way she could stay up late studying after today.

Thinking about this, she felt a bit defeated.

What is she going to do if she really did bad on the gaokao?

She didn’t want to go to sleep, but Huo Yusen was staring at her to make sure that she would go to bed. She had to sleep even if she didn’t want to.

She blinked her eyes and stretched. Then, she whined to Huo Yusen, “Big brother, I’m too tired to walk. Either you carry me to bed or I’m not sleeping.”

Huo Wu was the first one who not only bargained with Huo Yusen but also the first one to not consent to his wishes even at the end of the day.

But no one would understand why she was doing this except herself.

It wasn’t that she didn’t care for her body. Why would anyone not take care of their own health? All she wanted to do was to fulfill the wish that had been with her since her past life. She wanted to give her all in the next three months. This was why she was so persistent in studying more.

But right after finishing her sentence, Huo Yusen had already effortlessly picked her up.

Huo Wu made a short cry as she didn’t expect this.

But when she realized what was going on, she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck smilingly.

In her past life, there were many scenes in the shows that she participated in where the main male lead had to pick up the female lead. But of course, she was just a small minor part of the show, so these scenes had nothing to do with her.

During those times, she would just stand to the side and watch them act out the scene. The male lead would often appear to pick the female lead up with little to no effort. But in reality, they had to put in all their effort and continued on with the shooting pushing themselves even more.

There were a lot of times where the actor in the male lead couldn’t actually carry the actress for long and had to let her go after a few seconds with flushed faces. They couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at themselves afterwards.

So, the male lead would normally need help from some external source to complete these scenes.

For example, chairs, support from staff, etc. Or, they could just sit on the floor during the scene and fix it using photoshop.

Anyways, Huo Wu had never seen anyone who could effortlessly pick up a female lead who was heavier than 90 jins and maintain that position for a long time.

In many dramas, the male lead was often a handsome person who was strong and muscular. His muscles didn’t really show, but below his shirt, he actually had muscles and abs. But of course, his muscles weren’t extreme. When needed, he could carry the female lead, and sometimes, he could even fight off perverts harassing the female lead, providing her with an unlimited sense of security.

In the past, Huo Wu didn’t find it weird that these types of people were only real on script. Whenever she watched scenes where the male lead was protecting the female lead, she would always feel disconnected from the drama. The audience didn’t know that the male leads used tools to act out these scenes. But for Huo Wu, she was physically there while they filmed these actions: where they acted as if they were using no effort, but in reality, they were actually struggling to do such things like carrying the female lead.
