When she woke up the next morning, Siyu discovered that she had returned to her bed. She was still in yesterday’s outfit, but someone had pulled the blanket over her body.
She blinked blankly for a few minutes before she finally woke up fully. She remembered that yesterday Fifth Master Lu had come chasing after her. After that, she had no choice but to accompany that demon sitting in the lobby….. Then later, she seemed to have fallen asleep?
However, come to think of it, it was very odd. It seemed that since she transmigrated into this body, she had never slept so deeply. The tiredness that accumulated over the years seemed to have eased some from this deep sleep. Siyu stroked her throat and was surprised to find out that she didn’t have the urge to cough up blood.
Usually, when she woke up, she always had to vomit the blood that had accumulated first. This was the first time she woke up without having to cough up blood!
Siyu flipped over and sat up. Her hand carelessly brushed over the headboard and seemed to knock something over. She looked down and found that there was a small porcelain bottle placed beside her pillow. When she opened it, she saw exactly ten pills stacked inside neatly. The appearance looked the same as the one that Fifth Master Lu forced her to eat yesterday.
So….. Could it be that it was Fifth Master Lu who brought her back to her room yesterday?
Siyu really couldn’t imagine it. That overbearing and unreasonable psycho would be so nice? He must have just called a bodyguard to do the work, right?
She shook her head and cast this great trouble—Fifth Master Lu—aside. She got out of the bad and tidied herself up. Today was her first day formally joining the crew in the shooting. She had memorized the script thoroughly. However, Siyu didn’t have any experience so she was still very nervous. After she got ready, she wanted to go to the shooting place earlier to get the feeling.
Who would have thought as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ji Lin leaning beside the door while her assistant Chen Yue persuaded in a whisper by the side, “Ji-ge, Siyu-jie is still sleeping. How about you back to your room first? It’s not good to continue standing here….. Eh, Siyu-jie, you had woke up!”
Chen Yue heard the sound of the door opening and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She hastily rushed to Siyu’s side and said, “Siyu-jie, as soon as I arrived here in the morning, I saw Ji-ge standing here. I asked him if he had any business, but he refused to say and continued to wait here. I came in and saw that you were sleeping deeply. I didn’t think it was good to wake you up. So, I told Ji-ge that I’ll let him know when you woke up so he could wait in his room, yet he wouldn’t listen. It would be really bad if other people see…..”
Chen Yue’s concern wasn’t unreasonable. Although this whole floor was booked by 《Qing Guo》’s filming crew, there was still traffic in this area. With so many people going in and out, what would they think when they saw Ji Lin standing in front of Siyu’s doorway? The scariest thing in the entertainment circle is rumors.
Fortunately, Siyu had the habit of getting up early and Chen Yue also came over to call her before six o’clock every time. Now the sky was still dark and there was still no activity in other rooms.
“Xiao Yue, please bring me some breakfast. Plain porridge is enough.” Siyu glanced at Ji Lin who hadn’t said a word and added, “While you’re at it, also bring me two steamer baskets of crab meat soup dumplings. Please add extra vinegar.” She remembered that it was Ji Lin’s favorite food.
Chen Yue complied. Although she was brimming with curiosity, she also knew that there were things that she shouldn’t ask. She obediently ran off to the restaurant.
Siyu saw that Ji Lin was still rooted in front of the doorway. His expression looked like a sulking child. Siyu sighed and reached out to pull him into the room. She walked while coaxing him, “How long have you been standing there?”
Siyu’s strength was really not presentable. Even if she exerted all of her strength to pull others, it’s affirmed that the other wouldn’t budge at all. When Siyu pulled Ji Lin, he obediently followed her. Although his expression was bad, his feet were extremely honest.
“Not too long.” Ji Lin said these three words stiffly. However, within a few seconds, he couldn’t help but ask, “Siyu-jie, who on earth were those people last night Do you know? Yesterday when I got back to my room, I thought it over and found it was strange. When I wanted to go find you, the door was guarded firmly by those people. I couldn’t even take a step out. Afterward, I saw that man carrying you back and I almost charged out! However, those people held me back! Fortunately, that person immediately left after he brought you back. Otherwise, I would…..”
It really was Fifth Master Lu who carried her back? Siyu wasn’t touched. Rather, she was afraid. She had always felt that every time Fifth Master Lu treated her a bit better, it was like receiving a bite of sugar before the big stick struck down. She couldn’t help wondering if he had an agenda.
If she had known that she would fall into this situation earlier, then she would never have gone to the courtyard at Huanyi’s evening banquet!
Siyu lamented in her heart. However, in the face of Ji Lin’s anxious inquiries, she still gathered her energy to reassure him, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. That’s….. A friend of mine. He came to deliver medicine.” Siyu left Fifth Master Lu’s identity ambiguous. Ji Lin was an impulsive youth. If he really went to confront Fifth Master Lu, he would be the one to suffer losses.
“Friend? What kind of friend is that?!” Ji Lin wasn’t so easy to fool. He furiously criticized, “That attitude! That way of doing things! He harms you until you spat blood! And, and had his hands all over you !”
Siyu: “…..” That’s true. After he put it like that, she suddenly felt like she also had a ton of complaints.
Before Siyu could persuade him to calm down, Ji Lin suddenly stared at her. His eyes were bright and his expression was very serious. He lowered his voice like it was a conversation between underground members, and asked, “Jie, you can secretly tell me. Is that man….. pursuing you?”
“Cough, cough……” Siyu choked from his words. Her condition had been splendid before, but now she had the urge to cough up blood again.
No way, this was too frightening. Where did this misconception come from? ! Pursuing her? That psycho was clearly bullying and toying with her!
“……Little kid, don’t think too much.” After being dumbfounded for a while, Siyu sighed and patted Ji Lin’s head. Just when Ji Lin wasn’t convinced and wanted to rattle off the reasons, Chen Yue came back with breakfast. Siyu hastily took the bag and picked up a crab meat soup dumpling with chopsticks. She shoved it into Ji Lin’s mouth, blocking the more frightening words that he was about to say.
“I’m not familiar with that person. Stop your wild guesses.” Siyu coaxed, “Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Run through the script with me later, okay?”
