"It's late now. Why don't you take a shower and go to bed?" A shadow of a smile appeared on Charles's handsome face, his eyes turning sharp.

"Don't stay up late, okay? Good night." After saying that, Charles's face gradually enlarged on the screen, and then the screen went dark. He planted a kiss on the camera, and I could not help grinning.

 

"Good night."
