The bed was clean and tidy, and the blankets were folded neatly.
Xu Jingzhi is a clean freak; her room is always spotless, no matter the time of day.
Song Leilei looked away. "You should rest after you finish eating and avoid going out too much. If Uncle Xu sees you looking like this, he'll worry."
Xu Jingzhi glanced down at her phone, her brows furrowing. The group chat was saying that Bai Qingchi had appeared on the island. Bai Qingchi had escaped from prison years ago and hadn't been caught since. Later, a clue emerged that the person who helped her escape was Zheng Guang, the eldest son of the Zheng Group.
Zheng Guang has also been missing for two years, and his family was completely unaware of this. Before his disappearance, Zheng Guang claimed that he was going to establish a new company abroad.
Xu Jingzhi put on her coat, planning to go to an island.
Seeing that he hadn't eaten and still wanted to go out, Song Leilei asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go downstairs to buy some anti-inflammatory medicine." Xu Jingzhi opened the door and went out.
Song Leilei pushed him back into the room, saying, "I'll go buy it, don't wander off." She closed the door and ran to the nearest pharmacy to buy the medicine.
When she returned with the medicine, the room was empty. Only then did she realize she had been tricked by Xu Jingzhi. He hadn't gone to buy medicine at all; he must have gone out to play games with that group of people.
Enraged, Song Leilei threw the medicine on his neat bed and deliberately jumped onto it, making a mess of the blankets and sheets before raising her face.
She lay on the bed, tidying her messy hair, when she suddenly smelled a fishy odor.
It sounded like it was coming from under the bed.
The smell of fish under the bed...
Was a body hidden?
Thinking this, her body stiffened, and wrapped herself in a thick quilt, then screamed and jumped off the bed.
When she's scared, she has a habit of covering her head with a blanket; she did the same when she watched horror movies as a child.
She pulled the blanket aside a crack and quickly glanced under the bed.
Huh? A bag.
Song Leilei opened the bag, and inside was a piece of gauze stained with blood.
“He even changed his bandages yesterday. His injury was so serious, why did he have to tough it out?” Song Leilei’s heart sank again. “He was in this state, and he still went out instead of resting properly. I’ll catch you and make sure you can’t get out of bed with all the injections and medicine!”
......
Island resort and villa area in H city.
"Brother Zheng Lin, why aren't you back yet? I wanted to have dinner with you."
He Ru had been alone in her empty room all day. Standing on the balcony, gazing at the night, she felt utterly desolate.
When she learned that she was still being left to eat alone, she complained to her godmother, He Rong, feeling wronged.
He Ru sat in the wicker chair, watching the waves crashing onto the shore in the distance, and sobbed softly.
Hearing her goddaughter crying so bitterly on the other end of the phone, He Rong immediately said she would stand up for her.
"I'll arrange everything. Don't be sad. My son is engaged to you, so he must like you. He's just cold on the outside but warm on the inside," He Rong comforted her over the phone.
"Okay." He Ru hung up the phone, happily waiting for her godmother's arrangements.
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. She went to open the door and saw a strange man wearing sunglasses standing there.
The man said expressionlessly, "Miss He Ru, I have some news to tell you."
He Ru looked at the man's muscular physique and his bodyguard-like attire: "Did someone send you?" Could it be an arrangement by your godmother?
Thinking of this, her expression softened considerably, and she treated the other person as one of her own. "What news?"
"Zheng Lin is currently at Su Jin's villa."
“He lied to me.” He Ru stepped out the door. “Come on, take me there.”
"This is outside my jurisdiction. Miss He, you should go by yourself and not mention that you've seen me, or it will bring a terrible disaster." After telling her the exact location, the man silently left.
......
Su Jin glanced at the script and deliberately read her lines aloud, but Zheng Lin, watching TV, showed no intention of leaving.
He was sitting on the sofa watching a documentary when her voice suddenly stopped reading her lines. He said, "How about I go over the lines with you? It'll be faster than you doing it alone."
Su Jin glanced at the male lead's lines in the script; there weren't many, but there were more action scenes. "No need, it won't have that much of an impact."
Zheng Lin picked up the script on the table with one hand and glanced at it. "There really aren't many lines to rehearse. You just talked so much by yourself, and it seems there were even some lines for the female supporting character."
That's just to create a noisy atmosphere so they can tell the guests to leave.
Su Jin felt guilty, but her tone was firm: "Helping to improve my acting skills is something I'm very passionate about."
Zheng Lin raised one eyebrow. "Oh, then the scene between the female supporting character and the male lead is also worth honing."
The scenes between the female supporting character and the male lead.
The female supporting character in this script comes with a mission: to gain the male lead's trust. Her mentor taught her since childhood that to gain a man's trust, you must first win him over, and then win his heart.
Because of this misleading teaching, every time the female supporting character sees the male lead, she pounces on him like a vicious dog, eager to quickly win him over, first his body and then his heart.
Therefore, the couple with the most intimate scenes in this drama is not the female lead and the male lead, but the female supporting character and the male lead. The female supporting character doesn't have many scenes, but in nine out of ten scenes, she is seducing the male lead.
Which play was he watching?
Su Jin peeked over to look, then quickly snatched the script back, saying, "I remember there's a scene that's really worth honing."
“The scene on page 33 is very good; it’s exactly the kind of scene you’ve always lacked experience in. I’ve watched all the TV dramas you’ve acted in, including your earlier ones, and I’m pretty sure you lack experience.”
His voice carried a hint of mockery.
Su Jin recalled filming her first leading role in a drama two years ago. What should have been normal intimate scenes turned into a longing gaze due to Zheng Lin's interference.
She was the female lead, and from the first episode to the finale, the only intimate scene she shared with the male lead was holding hands.
Campus romance? This is no joke!
Since the finale hasn't aired yet, people online are discussing whether we'll see a kissing scene, or even just a passionate embrace, before the finale.
As the person involved, Su Jin knew very well that if this thing didn't exist, the director and screenwriter would definitely be severely criticized on the day of the finale.
Actually, they should be criticizing Zheng Lin; it was he who changed it to this state.
Su Jin said indignantly, "My lack of experience is all because of you. If you hadn't interfered with the filming and changed the scenes back then, my experience wouldn't be zero."
Zheng Lin said coldly, "Then I can make up for my mistake and practice this part of the scene with you."
Before she could refuse, Zheng Lin suddenly touched Su Jin's face and said in the style of the male lead, "Your face looks dirty. Don't move, let me wipe it for you."
Su Jin did not move as expected.
When he's serious, it's really hard to refuse him.
People tend to stumble in the same place twice, and she was no exception.
