Su Ran woke up from her nap and saw Ning Xi standing motionless beside her bed, staring at her blankly. Su Ran couldn't help but be startled.
"Ning Xi, what are you doing? If you had worn a white dress again and let your hair down, I would have thought Sadako had appeared."
Ning Xi said: "I want to see if you really slept soundly."
Su Ran was speechless: "You are sick."
"No, we're going to shoot a mudslide scene tonight, and I'm afraid you'll..."
"Which one?"
"Traumatic stress disorder. After all, you almost died in that mudslide."
Su Ran got out of bed and patted Ning Xi on the shoulder: "Ning Xi, I'm not as fragile as you think. Alright, I'll go wash up and put on makeup."
Ning Xi watched Su Ran go into the bathroom, and said to herself in deep doubt: "Really?"
Well, she must have been influenced by Han Dong. Han Dong knew that this scene was being filmed today, and he had called her twice to ask about the crew's safety measures and Su Ran's mood, which made her nervous.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone is knocking on the door.
Ning Xi opened the door only after she saw through the peephole that it was Gu Yunchen outside the door.
"When did you arrive?"
Gu Yunchen came in and said, "It was half past twelve in the afternoon. You guys were resting at that time, so I didn't come to disturb you. Where's Su Ran?"
"In the bathroom." Ning Xi took Su Ran's clothes and went to the bathroom, telling her to change clothes before coming out. Gu Yunchen came over.
Ning Xi returned to the living room, and Gu Yunchen opened his arms and looked at her with a smile.
Ning Xi curled her lips and stood still. Why? If she wanted to be hugged, wouldn’t she come over herself
Gu Yunchen smiled, walked over and hugged Ning Xi, and whispered in her ear: "It seems that you don't miss me very much!"
There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
Ning Xi muttered: "I'm busy like a dog every day, so I don't have time to think about anything else."
"Well, I have to have a good talk with Director Jiang. We have plenty of time and sufficient funds, so there's no need to rush. Look how tired our baby Ning Xi is." Gu Yunchen said with a smile.
Ning Xi felt a chill. What a mess of names. She got goose bumps all over.
"Don't call me that. I can't even eat dinner."
"You'll get used to it, Ningxi baby." There was a mischievous cunning in his eyes.
Ning Xi looked at him, her eyebrows curved, and she called out in a soft voice: "Chenchen, little darling."
Gu Yunchen shuddered. He really couldn’t stand it. But, never mind. They were not the kind of people who were sticky and greasy.
Gu Yunchen kissed her hard on the forehead: "You are so cruel."
"How is Su Ran doing?"
"Just like nothing happened." Ning Xi hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest. She felt at ease listening to his strong heartbeat.
"She is really kind-hearted. Last night, Han Dong came to me and threatened me, saying that if Ning Xi lost a single hair, he would break my bones."
"He dares to threaten you? He's so bold. I'll ask Su Ran to teach him a lesson later." Ning Xi said.
Gu Yunchen held back his laughter; he just liked the way she protected her child.
The sound of a door opening was heard behind her. Ning Xi pushed Gu Yunchen away suddenly, smoothed her bangs, and pretended that the two of them were having a normal conversation.
"Hi, Su Ran." Gu Yunchen greeted Su Ran with a smile.
After knowing that Su Ran was his cousin, Gu Yunchen felt a little embarrassed when he saw Su Ran again, especially when Han Dong said that Su Ran had already guessed his life experience. Gu Yunchen was glad that he didn't pester her and was shameless, otherwise he would be too ashamed to see Su Ran.
When Su Ran saw Ning Xi’s flushed face and flickering eyes, she knew what had happened. In fact, there was nothing to be shy about. It was normal for couples to do intimate things.
"Hi, Yunchen, when did you arrive?"
"At noon, I talked to Director Jiang, who said that the filming was going very smoothly and that we could finish at least half a month earlier than originally planned. This is a rare opportunity, and maybe we can catch the National Day release."
Director Jiang said that the atmosphere on the crew was very good, everyone was in good shape, and there was no overlapping schedules, so the progress was naturally fast.
Of course, the main credit goes to Su Ran. If the leading actress works so hard, how could others dare to be lazy
"Really? It seems that 72 Hours is also going to be released on National Day." Su Ran pondered. Director Chen originally wanted to release it on Anti-Drug Day, but the special effects in the later stage did not seem to be going well, so the release may have to be postponed.
Ning Xi said: "Wouldn't that mean you're just competing against yourself?"
Moreover, she will have to participate in the roadshows of two dramas at that time. Ning Xi can already imagine how busy she will be.
"Good works are not afraid of competition." Gu Yunchen said that in the second half of the film industry, Su Ran will be the leader.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone is knocking on the door again.
Ning Xi went to open the door.
"Hello, the refrigerator you purchased has arrived."
"Refrigerator? We didn't buy a refrigerator!" Ning Xi was puzzled.
"It's me, it's me. I bought it. Han Dong asked me to bring a lot of things, and it wouldn't work without a refrigerator." Gu Yunchen asked the delivery man to bring in the refrigerator, and he went back to his room to pick up a large box.
When I opened the box, I saw all kinds of things inside, including food and daily necessities.
"These are dumplings, made by Han Dong's mother. There are sticky notes on them. There are beef fillings, mutton fillings, cabbage and pork fillings, celery fillings... There are also braised pig's trotters, braised chicken wings... When you are hungry at night, you can just cook them and eat them. There are also red bean and barley porridge. The south is humid, and Han Dong asked us to cook some red bean and barley porridge every day to remove moisture. There is also brown sugar ginger tea. Han Dong said that you didn't bring much when you came, and he was afraid that it wouldn't be enough." Gu Yunchen took out the items one by one and put them in the refrigerator.
Ning Xi held the stew pot and whispered sourly: "Look how considerate they are, how about you?"
Gu Yunchen said: "That's because they can't come. I'm here. I'll be as considerate as you want me to be."
Ning Xi thought about it and felt happy again. She secretly pinched Gu Yunchen's arm.
Gu Yunchen bared his teeth.
Su Ran originally thought it was a bit of a waste to buy a refrigerator just for this little food, but when she saw so many delicious foods, some of which were prepared by Han Dong’s mother, she felt it was worth it.
Su Ran's phone buzzed, and she opened WeChat. It was a message from Han Dong.
Han Dong: Have you received all the things
Su Ran: Got it. Please thank Auntie for me.
Han Dong: Remember to eat, let Ning Xi make it for you.
Su Ran: How can she cook? She only knows how to eat.
Han Dong: Then let Gu Yunchen do it. Ning Xi’s job is to take good care of you, since Ning Xi is his girlfriend.
Su Ran glanced at the two people who were flirting with each other and replied: How dare I ask Wanli’s president to be my cook
Han Dong: Then... I’ll do it
Su Ran laughed: Are you free to come
Han Dong: Maybe.
What does it mean maybe
His annual leave had been used up because he had helped her take care of her mother, so how could he take any more leave
Su Ran: Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself.
Han Dong: Oh! I'll check if you can really take care of yourself then.
Su Ran suddenly thought of the so-called inspection and her face turned red: How to inspect
Han Dong: You’ll know when the time comes.
Su Ran complained inwardly: This guy just likes to be mysterious.
