After using some physical cooling methods, Xiang Wan's fever subsided at 11 a.m., but it came back again after he slept for a while. By 6 p.m., it had finally subsided completely.
The fever reached its highest point at 38.7°, and she cried out "Mom" at that moment.
He stopped talking nonsense after that and remained very quiet.
When she woke up, she looked haggard, with her hair spread out on the pillow like seaweed. She looked at Yu Zhou and said, "Did you forget to cook me some sugar-water eggs yesterday?"
"Yes, I didn't cook it," Yu Zhou said, "Luckily I didn't cook it. You didn't keep your word and cooked it again tonight."
"I only promise one day."
"You didn't tell me in advance."
"You didn't mention the expiration date either." She remembered the bear biscuits and AD calcium milk and learned this word.
Yu Zhou stared at her carefully and asked, "Xiang Wan, I noticed that you looked a little yellower. Your face isn't as white as before."
Xiang Wan's face turned pale instantly, as white as putty. She touched it and said, "Give me a piece of my ex-boyfriend's facial mask."
"You can't use a joke three times. If you write like this you'll get criticized," Yu Zhou taught her.
"I've made some money," Xiang Wan said, "and Director Peng has used my voice."
"And the money?"
"She must have given you the treasure that I didn't pay for." Xiang Wan inferred.
"It's so funny, he gave it to me. Do you know how much money he gave me?" Yu Zhou took out his mobile phone and shook it.
Xiang Wan shook his head.
Yu Zhou clicked to play Peng Yizhi's voice: "Zhou Zhou, let me tell you something, it's about Wan Wan's money. This character is like this, there are not many lines, so I asked my friend to guest star in it. It's always like this with her, I help her with a few lines, and she helps me with a few lines, so there is no budget for this kind of thing."
Yu Zhou understands very well that a debt of favor is no less important than money.
"Now it's Wanwan's turn. If we want to pay her based on these two lines, and based on her resume and the basic price in the industry, I guess she won't get much. It's too little, and I'm not paying her that much."
"So I said, why don't you bring her along when the filming is finished? I'll treat her to a meal and prepare a small gift for her. She should like it more than receiving money. What do you think?"
Xiang Wan's eyes lit up: "What gift is it?" This was the first gift she received here, well, if Yu Zhou's AD calcium milk was not counted.
"I don't know. You'll know when you go there."
Xiang Wan nodded: "When?"
"It seems to be next weekend." Yu Zhou flipped through the chat history.
Xiang Wan looked at her, her eyes showing that she felt it was too late.
"Don't be so impatient. As the saying goes, good things are worth waiting for. Take a rest for a few days, and then I'll take you to buy some clothes. Since you're staying here, it's not good to always wear my clothes. You have to have your own style. Also, you have to plan for the long term. Reading is the basis. You won't be able to make any progress in this world without an education. I have to see how I can help you get an adult education diploma or something."
"Also," she said, sitting on the bed, picking at the wooden board at the head of the bed, "Wanwan, I have no money."
She had been unemployed for several months and had been living on her savings. Xiang Wan didn't spend much money, but it was enough to make her strapped for cash.
"I might have to sign the contract." She looked out the window with eyes that looked like she was going to be executed.
