Chapter 342 - 215: Nora Scott: We’ve Been Together for Six Years [Part 2]
"You’re being so nice to him?" Pedro Langley frowned.
"I spoil my fans."
"..."
Pedro was so annoyed that his brows twitched.
"Forget it."
Nora Scott deleted a few edited words and decided to give up.
She uploaded the photo taken at the concert with Pedro Langley and captioned it: @Singer Clement Winter, happy birthday.
Post.
This Weibo post caught Pedro’s eye, and he squinted slightly, wanting to grab the phone.
But Nora was quicker, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back.
Nora warned, "Don’t act up!"
Every time Pedro did something online, it caused quite a stir.
She really couldn’t trust this man.
Pedro, who did indeed have mischievous intentions, smiled, approaching her, "Just a gesture."
Nora paused for two seconds, gripped his shirt tightly, pulled him close, and kissed his cheek.
The lights went out.

At two in the morning, a Weibo post by Zero shocked many night owls, keeping them wide awake.
Celebrating Clement Winter’s birthday wasn’t exactly sensational news.
What was sensational was—
That accompanying photo!
At a certain electronic music festival in Anchel, on stage was singer Clement Winter, warming up the crowd, with hands intertwined and fingers tightly clasped, and...
The girl’s wrist adorned with that circle of black cord.
[Has God Z gone to Anchel for the music festival?]
[Posting lovey-dovey stuff at night, showing off? @Singer Clement Winter, your idol bullying you for being single for another year!]
[@Singer Clement Winter, come quick! Your idol came to see your performance and even took a picture with you!]
...
[Emmm, judging from this picture, it’s confirmed that Zero is a girl. P.S.: The photo angle definitely indicates it’s taken by a man, and with our uncle’s photography skills, he absolutely wouldn’t have taken such a clear photo. Uncle can only be the woman next door.]
[Let’s discuss that familiar yet different black cord.]
[It’s not the same black cord. The one from the previous photo, last seen on Zero’s Weibo, clearly looks worn. This one is new. Blind guess it’s handmade by Zero (or a friend, family, etc.)? When old, simply toss it, and replace with the new. But after wearing the previous cord for so long, it must have been gifted by someone special.]
[Thanks to the forum’s many pros, who uncovered so much ’Zero is a girl’ evidence, I can now face reality calmly.]
[Crying out loud! Uncle, I can never bear monkeys for you now! Who’s that dog man beside you, ah!]
[Hand obsession, drooling over the screen! Both hands are just so beautiful! Uncle, with those hands, regardless of gender, I’ll be your fan for life!]
[Secretly saying, the picture definitely isn’t beautified, with the skin texture of these hands, I’m 100% sure neither is over thirty.]

Throughout the night, idle yet energized netizens repeatedly pushed Zero onto Weibo’s trending topics with just one post.
Simultaneously, major forum sites weren’t backing down, with all sorts of posts about "digging into Zero" and "digging into Zero’s boyfriend" popping up endlessly, providing evidence or relying on imagination to fill the gaps.
Since Luna Durant’s backstage confession at the Spring Festival Gala, and the subsequent love-hate drama involving Zero, Henry Chapman, and Pedro Langley, only the Scott family’s bit of wealthy feuds could pass the time for netizens. Now, Zero, a non-entertainment industry top figure, proved her gender once again, making the internet lively like the New Year.
Everyone was so hyped they could stay up for three days and nights without sleep.

The next day, early morning.
Just as dawn broke, Nora Scott, half-awake, unconsciously shifted, finding a comfortable spot in someone’s embrace.
Then, sensing something off, she slowly woke up.
Her eyelids were heavy, and it took some effort to open her eyes a crack.
"Awake?"
A couple of words drifted down from above, it was Pedro’s voice.
So, her barely opened eyes closed tight again.
"No." She burrowed into his embrace, without a shred of guilt, using his arm as a pillow, Nora murmured, "Still need to sleep."
Her voice was fatigued, full of lazy drowsiness, clearly indicating she hadn’t fully woken.
Pedro couldn’t help but laugh, lightly sighing as he looked at the restless person in his arms who was making him uncomfortable, he simply held her tightly.
Self-inflicted mischief, had to endure.
Moreover—
Every time he opened his eyes at night, he could see her presence; the sense of reality filled his heart, which had been empty for years, he felt immense satisfaction.
After a few minutes, Nora frowned tightly, face buried in his embrace, calling him vaguely, "Pedro..."
"Hm?"
Pedro ran his fingers through her disheveled hair.
Nora tightly gripped the fabric of his shirt, struggling not to rise, sleepiness enveloping her, her head was foggy, she mumbled sleepily, "I have an eight o’clock train."
"Hm."
Nora asked again, "What time is it now?"
Stretching his arm to grab the phone on the bedside, Pedro glanced at the time and replied, "Seven o’clock."
"...Can you magically move Greenhill Town closer for me?" Nora asked muffled.
After a moment of contemplation, Pedro felt the task was somewhat daunting and had to compromise with reality, saying, "I can wake you up in a quarter of an hour."
Nora tugged at his wrinkled shirt, as if venting her frustrations.
At the same time, she gritted her teeth and complained, "Tell me, what’s the use of you?"
Pedro sighed heavily, "Sorry, for letting you down."
"Good that you know."
Nora huffed lightly.
"..."
Pedro chuckled silently, holding her, his chin resting amidst her hair, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
How could this girl be so adorable...
Especially when she’s not fully awake, so genuine and soft, shedding all her assertiveness and boldness when alert, with just a few words that could melt a heart.
After about half a minute, Nora slowly spoke again, "A quarter of an hour."
"Got it, rest assured and sleep."
"Hm."
Nora went back to sleep again.

Meanwhile—
In a suite at Cloud Sky Hotel.
Evelyn Winter had just opened the door to Clement Winter’s suite when she heard chaotic shouting coming from inside.
"Ah—Ah—Ah—"
Filled with excitement and agitation.
Evelyn: Another episode???
