Lanting Elegant Residence.
Just as Shen Nianchu helped Lu Jinzhou onto the bed, he was pulled down by a huge force and fell on his hard chest, "What are you doing?"
Lu Jinzhou held her and turned over, pressing her under him, and kissed her without saying anything. He was not gentle at all, but extremely forceful and plundered the oxygen in her body.
After a long moment, they separated, his nose touching hers. "I'm jealous. That He Yanbei... is quite annoying. He's always looking for trouble, trying to show off his superiority by growing up with you."
Shen Nianchu pursed her swollen red lips and said, "In this movie, he and I basically don't have any intimate scenes."
"Basic?"
"Well, maybe... a scene where they just have a dance together in a ballroom?"
In this movie, she plays a female spy disguised as a Paramount socialite, and her contact is the character played by He Yanbei.
Seeing the man's gloomy face, she quickly added, "It's just a dance scene at most. There's absolutely no kissing scene that requires borrowing shots."
Seeing that he was still unhappy, Shen Nianchu smiled, and her fingertips brushed across his Adam's apple, her eyes as charming as silk:
"I'll be joining the crew tomorrow. A night of love is worth a thousand gold. Mr. Lu, would you like to hurry up and have a love bath with me?"
Lu Jinzhou curled his lips and directly proved his response with actions.
…
The next day, Shen Nianchu joined the crew and stayed there for three consecutive months, filming in isolation. Thanks to Lu Jinzhou who took good care of Yu Wanhua, she was able to concentrate on her work.
Until this day, she had just finished filming and suddenly received the news that Yu Wanhua was admitted to the hospital.
Shen Nianchu asked for leave from the crew and rushed back to the capital at three o'clock in the morning. Lu Jinzhou was personally guarding the ward.
Shen Nianchu couldn’t believe his eyes.
Yu Wanhua's face was sallow, with a noticeable blackness in the eye sockets, a few haggard wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the flesh on her cheeks was severely sunken, and her lips were dry and chapped, with no blood at all.
Lu Jinzhou, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Yunnan, took her to see a doctor, but he couldn't find anything. He just said that it was due to stagnation of Qi in her heart, which was why she was becoming increasingly thin and listless.
Yu Wanhua had been suffering from depression because of her youngest son's death and several miscarriages. At the worst time, she even attempted suicide, so she believed it.
After a month of recuperation at the clinic in Yunnan, he said he was almost recovered and wanted to go traveling. She thought it was a good idea and traveling was indeed a good way to relax, so she let him go.
During the two months of the so-called trip, Chen Nianchu would video call Yu Wanhua whenever she was free, but was rejected most of the time. When asked, she would just say that she was out having fun and had no time to video chat, but she would reply to her every now and then.
But every time Yu Wanhua replied to the video, it was when she returned to the hotel and was applying a facial mask. It was always the Iron Man mask, and she couldn't see what her real facial expression looked like at all.
Yu Wanhua spoke weakly, "Aren't you filming on the set? Why are you here?"
Shen Nianchu looked at her like this and still couldn't believe it. He said what he was thinking suspiciously.
"How did you get so thin? Did you find out something during your previous trip to Yunnan that you didn't tell me? Are you deliberately putting on a face mask in every video to deceive me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I was just bitten by a bug while traveling, and the cause has never been found. I've had recurring fevers lately and can't eat, which is why I look a little haggard. If you don't believe me, ask Jinzhou."
She hadn't video-called Shen Nianchu for nearly ten days.
Lu Jinzhou glanced at Yu Wanhua, then met Shen Nianchu's suspicious gaze, his Adam's apple sliding up and down, and finally said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Shen Nianchu couldn't see any trace of lying on his stern face, so he asked again,
"What about the fever? Why did you only tell me now when you've had a fever for so many days? If Aunt Zhao hadn't called me today, you wouldn't have told me?!"
When Zhao's mother called her, her voice was choked with sobs. She didn't say anything specific, only that Yu Wanhua was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital. She was so scared that her hair stood on end.
Yu Wanhua coughed weakly twice, "Why are you yelling at Jinzhou, kid? He doesn't know anything."
Seeing Shen Nianchu's disbelief, he spoke again,
"I just got back from Jiangcheng. I thought it was just a common cold and fever, so I didn't take it seriously. I thought I could just take some medicine. But today, I took the fever-reducing medicine and it didn't get better. Aunt Zhao was so anxious that she called Jinzhou and asked him to come and help arrange a doctor's examination. And instead of thanking him, you got angry?"
Zhao Ma also echoed with red eyes, "Yes, Nianchu, it's all my fault. When I saw that Madam's fever wouldn't go away, I was anxious and didn't explain clearly when I called you. It's really thanks to Master Lu."
Shen Nianchu then realized that she was too nervous and a little out of control. She pursed her lips and pulled Lu Jinzhou out of the ward. Looking at his tense face, she hugged his waist with a guilty look.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now. I was scared by my mother's state. Are you angry?"
Lu Jinzhou looked at Shen Nianchu's face, which had become much thinner, and rubbed the back of her head distressedly.
"How could I bear to be angry with you? I know you're worried, but I've been negligent in recent days and haven't taken good care of my aunt."
Shen Nianchu shook her head, “You are so busy with work every day, and my mother went out to travel by herself, how could it be your negligence.”
Lu Jinzhou paused, and after a struggle in his heart, he finally changed his words to,
"How come you've lost so much weight? You have dark circles under your eyes. Have you not been getting enough rest these days?"
"Didn't I tell you in the previous video? We've been filming a few big night scenes, and we're almost done. For that final scene, the director asked me to lose ten pounds, so I've been controlling my diet lately."
Lu Jinzhou helped her fix her hair and asked, "There's still half a month left before filming is finished?"
"Um."
"I'll take you home and get a good night's sleep. Auntie's fever has subsided. I'll ask Xingzhou to keep an eye on her."
"No," Shen Nianchu leaned her head against his chest, "I'm worried. Stay here with my mom tonight. You should go back and rest. You still have to go to work tomorrow morning, right? You've worked hard tonight."
It has been more than half a month since the last time he visited Hengdian to visit the crew. Now that the person is right in front of him, how could Lu Jinzhou have the heart to go back?
"I follow a routine every day, and no one dares to say anything if I don't go occasionally. I'll stay with you."
Shen Nianchu did not refuse, and the arms around his thin waist tightened a little, whispering softly, "Okay, then let me hold you for a while, I miss you."
Lu Jinzhou also hugged her tighter and kissed her hair, "I miss you too."
