While drinking the porridge Xia Nuan bought, Li Dongyang said, "I don't care as a man, but what about you? If she finds out we're so close, will she kill you?"

Xia Nuan pouted. Given Li Jing's personality, it was quite possible, but why did she want her to know that the two of them lived together?

Li Dongyang nodded. "That makes a lot of sense."

"But the truth will eventually come out. What should we say if they find out?"

Xia Nuan thought for a while, "There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Let's wait until things can't be kept secret anymore before we talk about it."

"I see you're alright, so I'll be going now. I'll see if I have time to come see you later."

Although Xia Nuan's words weren't exactly pleasant to hear, Li Dongyang found them rather soothing.

Perhaps this is love in reverse!

One is willing to endure, and the other is willing to take it; it's actually quite nice for them to get along like that.

If they lived relatively close, given Xia Nuan's personality, she would probably ask Liang Qiong to make some soup and bring it over.

"Go ahead and do your thing. I just injured my foot, I'm not crippled. I just came back because I was craving some junk food, that's all."

Upon hearing this, Xia Nuan's fair face immediately darkened.

"Don't you want your wound to heal?"

"The weather will get really cold in a few days, be careful not to get frostbite on your wound."

"Don't let your feet freeze to the bone just to save a little money on air conditioning."

This was the first time Li Dongyang had ever seen Xia Nuan so talkative.

"Then I'll be going now. Give me a call if you need anything."

Li Dongyang repeated, "I just injured my foot, it's not like I'm crippled. Go and get back to your work."

Xia Nuan just left.

Li Dongyang's phone rang.

It was the love from his elderly mother.

"How did you manage to get your foot like this?"

"Are there any broken bones? Eat less chili peppers and avoid fried foods during this period."

My mother's words were exactly the same as Xia Nuan's.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor scrape and a little bleeding, but it's already bandaged up."

"The doctor said I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Hearing this, Xiao Qianwen breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Next time you see a photo of blood, don't post it. It'll scare your mom to death."

"It's alright, then I'll get back to work."

"By the way, has your company announced when the holidays will be?"

In previous years, the holiday started on the 30th of the lunar year, but I don't know about this year.

"We haven't received any official notification yet, so we don't know."

"Then tell Mom as soon as you're on vacation, and remember to pick up Nuannuan when you come over."

When Li Dongyang heard his mother tell him to pick up Xia Nuan, he felt helpless.

"Mom, we're still somewhere, your rush will embarrass them."

"Besides, I'm only 23 years old, still young, and I really don't want to be in a relationship so early."

As soon as Li Dongyang finished speaking, he heard Xiao Qianwen retort, "23 years old? That's almost 30. Once a man reaches 30, he will be unable to do many things. While your father and I are still young, we can help you out. Who will help you when we get old?"

"Besides, I think Nuannuan is a good girl, and I've decided on her as my daughter-in-law."

Upon seeing Li Dongyang's opposition, Xiao Qianwen immediately thought of his college girlfriend.

"Are you still thinking about that You Shuang? Let me tell you, a man should be loyal. You've already broken up, so don't keep lingering ties. If I find out you've done anything to betray Nuan Nuan, I'll never forgive you."

"Mom, I only have a foot injury, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll lie down for a while."

Li Dongyang wasn't annoyed by his mother's irritability; rather, he simply didn't want to hear about Shuang again.

They're a thing of the past, let alone being together.

6 p.m.

On the bed.

Li Dongyang opened his eyes and glanced at his phone on the bedside table. He realized he had slept until 6 a.m.

She threw back the covers, got up, and slowly dragged her injured foot to the kitchen.

In the afternoon, Xia Nuan bought two servings of pork rib porridge. She kept one serving warm in a soup pot and also made a small soup for him in the pot.

Looking at the dinner prepared in the kitchen, Li Dongyang smiled and felt moved once again.

Li Dongyang carefully carried the porridge to the table with a limp, and then took out the soup that Xia Nuan had cooked for him.

It was my first time having chicken soup with congee, and it was quite a unique experience.

night.

Xia Nuan was shooting posters until 10 o'clock.

Everyone knows that celebrities make money quickly, but there are also hardships behind the scenes that are unknown to many.

She rushed back in the afternoon and didn't even have time to sit down before starting to film.

This stop lasts for several hours.

Aside from touching up her makeup and eating takeout, she spent the rest of the time posing for photos in sky-high heels.

My legs were swollen after the game.

"Great card!"

"That concludes today's filming. We'll continue tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you for your hard work today, Teacher Xia, for making you stand for so long."

Xia Nuan shook her head, "Actually, I'm the one who should apologize. If I hadn't had to leave halfway through, I wouldn't have kept everyone up so late."

Xia Nuan then looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing instantly understood, took out 10,000 yuan in cash from her bag, handed it to the photographer, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry about today. This is a small token of Teacher Xia's appreciation. Everyone worked hard tonight. Teacher Xia's idea is for you to relax a bit."

The photography team has worked with many celebrities. Some of them are generous and will buy you a late-night snack or give you a cup of milk tea. They had heard that Xia Nuan was approachable before.

I didn't expect Xia Nuan to be so approachable.

She deserves to have so many fans.

"I'm so sorry to have made everyone get off work so late. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Okay, see you tomorrow.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's gift is bound to him." Having accepted the gift, he naturally spoke more politely than before.

"It's alright. Our group's task right now is to shoot the photo album. It's just that Teacher Xia's actions are making us feel a little embarrassed."

Xia Nuan smiled and said, "It's getting late. Why don't you treat everyone to a late-night snack before you go back?"

After saying that, she followed her assistant to the dressing room to remove her makeup.

Li Jing then tried to get closer to the photography crew, thinking that their profession might come in handy in the future.

It can't hurt to know more people.

Xia Nuan arrived at the parking lot at 10:30 p.m.

In the car, Li Jing asked, "How badly is screenwriter Li's foot injured?"

"It's just a minor scrape, nothing serious. The doctor said I might need to rest for a week."

"Did you tell him that we were going to visit him?"

Xia Nuan looked at Li Jing and shook her head, saying, "Not yet!"

This is blatant lying through one's teeth.

"When you get back, send a message to screenwriter Li. It doesn't feel right if we don't check on his injured foot."

"I'll buy some supplements when I come over tomorrow morning."

"No matter how badly someone's foot is injured, just ask how they are and show your concern."
