Liu Man nearly caught a cold. When she got back to her hotel room, she felt lightheaded, so she went to sleep without lunch. A nap ameliorated her state.

When she woke, Liu man reached for the script again. Tomorrow is her second scene, her longest feature. She would need to perform a piano piece, putting finally to use her degree in the instrument.

The music score was in the script, and this piece was also the film's theme. There weren't yet lyrics for it, however.

Liu Man gently hummed the melody for the piece. Towards the end, the familiar rings of WeChat interrupted her.

After the crew members were confirmed, the stage manager made everyone a chat group—"Wind Sound Crew Chat"—and informed that, if the director or the producers had any important announcements, they would be relayed there. All the leads and Ye Zian found themselves in the group.

Until now, Liu Man had only added Tang Tu, Yang Huayue, and the stage manager to her contacts.

As expected, an announcement soon beeped in her hand. Manager: "Because of recent modifications to the script, tomorrow's piano scene will be postponed to the morning after tomorrow, @everyone."

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

Liu Man immediately replied along with the others, "Roger that!"

The stage manager saw Liu Man responding and sent her a private message: "Tomorrow evening, come to the music classroom on the third floor. You will be working with Tang Tu on the piece, 'The Sound of the Wind,' in preparation for the piano scene. Please reply when you receive this message."

"Okay."

At this moment, another notification from WeChat rang out. Yu Zhan sent an image to her, which he took with his phone.

Liu Man clicked onto the image. The photo was seemingly taken on the balcony of a high apartment. Daylight sprawled atop Paul, her paws facing downward and her eyes narrowed. She was lazily enjoying the sunlight, and her fat belly lay supine.

"Daylight loves the sun," Liu Man typed.

Yu Zhan was always quick to reply.

"She loves my balcony, and she's also used to Paul. She's no longer dying to leave whenever Paul's in the room, at least. They are now friends, from the looks of it."

"Thank you."

"Why?" Yu Zhan sent an emoji of a cute, pouty face.

Liu Man smiled tacitly and responded with an emoji, something she rarely did. The little yellow face had its tongue out. "You are treating Daylight well. I feel like I can never be as good to her as you."

"Daylight's obedient, cute—I like her."

Yu Zhan, as a vet, no less, had no prejudice against animals, but he loved the loyalty of dogs the most. This was his first time keeping a cat.

"I love Paul, too. He sticks by you. Although he looks huge and fierce on the outside, he's warm on the inside."

"I feel like we're just complimenting each others' pets," Yu Zhan sent this message, then immediately sent another one, "Are you working right now? I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"I don't have a lot of scenes, so I've already done my part in the morning. My next scene will be on the day after tomorrow, so I have a lot of time."

"How does it feel to be an actor? Are your co-workers being nice? Did you get accused of anything? Is anyone not giving you a good time?" Yu Zhan sent a few questions all at once.
