Chapter 8 (Break) (2/2)

Even after being relieved that Xiao Qianqian was safe, Shang Yechu still felt that something was wrong.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "The money in the side pocket of my backpack is what I use to buy snacks at night. How did they know I put the money there?"

System: "You humans only have a few places to keep your money, right? In short, they won't lend you money."

Shang Yechu thought about it and agreed. The logic behind it was sound, so she didn't delve any deeper. After all, the system wouldn't lie to her.

The clock on the wall showed it was almost one o'clock. The morning's filming must have ended, but there was still time to grab some leftover boxed lunches from the crew.

Shang Yechu absolutely cannot miss the boxed lunch!

Just as she was about to get out of bed, the system said, "Host, this room was booked for two hours. You've only been here for half an hour."

The system added, "The money has already been paid and cannot be refunded."

Shang Yechu immediately fell silent and quickly climbed back into bed.

Compared to a boxed lunch that costs around ten yuan, a room for forty yuan per hour is a better deal!

Even in a hotel, time shouldn't be wasted. Shang Yechu picked up her bag again, ready to take out a book to read.

"Host, why don't you take a rest?" The system was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "If something like today happens again, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"

Shang Yechu paused in his movements.

What followed was a long silence.

Just when the system thought she wouldn't answer it, it suddenly heard Shang Yechu's voice.

"Because if we don't work hard, it will be too late..."

What's too late?

The system wanted to ask, but Shang Yechu had already put down her schoolbag and lay down on the bed.

"You're right. I'd better rest for a bit. System, force me into hibernation."

Although it didn't understand human emotions, the system intuitively realized that Shang Yechu didn't want to talk about this. So it didn't ask and put Shang Yechu into a forced hibernation for an hour.

***

After waking up, Shang Yechu was starving. She went out and found a small shop, gritted her teeth, and reluctantly bought two packs of plain compressed biscuits. She ate them all with bottled water.

The texture of the bean flour was so dry and shriveled, as if it had absorbed all the moisture. Eating and drinking water at the same time only made her stomach feel unbearably bloated. Shang Yechu finished all of it and exchanged it for cash, only then did the bloating subside.

With the system watching closely, Shang Yechu obediently converted his increased weight into some health points. Having regained some energy, he returned to the film set.

As a long-time extra in this drama, a bout of heatstroke was nothing to her. The afternoon filming was about to begin, and Shang Yechu hurriedly changed into her costume. No one offered any words of comfort regarding her fainting.

While jokingly criticizing her own lack of popularity, Shang Yechu also breathed a sigh of relief. Not having to deal with all the empty pleasantries was so relaxing.

In her previous life, Shang Yechu was a fool. Everyone she met seemed wonderful to her. She mistook mockery for concern and teasing for friendship, and ultimately deserved her fate.

In this life, she became even more taciturn. Not because she was bad at socializing, but because she disdained it.

After filming, Shang Yechu made a special trip to find out the location of the film studio's volunteer service station and expressed her gratitude to the staff there.

Many people have been suffering from heatstroke recently, and two people were indeed carried away this morning. With so many people at the film studio, and given Shang Yechu's very ordinary appearance, the staff couldn't remember who he was, so they accepted his thanks without really understanding what he was thinking.
