Lu Jinzhou took the cup of water from the bedside table and handed it to her mouth, gently wiping away the tears on her face.
"What did you dream about? Why are you crying so hard?"
Chen Nianchu blinked her pitiful eyes and said nonsense seriously, "I dreamed that you changed your mind and abandoned me."
After she finished speaking, the man gently pinched her face and wiped away the tears on her face. "What are you thinking about? Were you scared during the day?"
Shen Nianchu lay down again, "A little bit, I'll go back to sleep, I'm too sleepy."
Lu Jinzhou had no choice but to turn off the lights, and pulled her into his arms again, gently patting her back with his palm, coaxing a child.
Chen Nianchu's nostrils were filled with the familiar crisp woody scent, light and reassuring, but his mind couldn't help but recall the bad things in the past.
That year, the Shen family took on a big project and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend the Lu family's banquet through connections. She remembered that it seemed to be Mr. Lu's birthday party. Her father wanted her to make more friends with wealthy and noble families, so he took her there.
But after she got there, she found that those who usually bullied her at school were also there. In order to hide, she ran to a remote place, but she never expected that she could not escape because others were deliberately causing trouble.
She wore a white princess-style dress that day, and Yu Wanhua helped her style her hair, which looked nice. But within an hour of arriving at the Lu family, those people came after her and tried to tear off her clothes and cut her hair. When she finally broke free and jumped into the water, a clump of her hair had been cut off, and her clothes were in a mess.
It was Lu Jinzhou who pulled her out of the water, like a ray of light that suddenly appeared in her dark days.
She thought that every aspect of herself in front of him was good. At the very least, this appearance had to be good-looking. On that day ten years ago, she was in such a miserable state. She still remembered that when she was rescued, her nose and tears were flying, and they had stained Lu Jinzhou's white shirt.
It’s better not to let him know. What if he finds out and dislikes her?
…
Shen Nianchu had been staying at home obediently for half a month and was about to get moldy. She glanced at the man sitting on the sofa working with a sad look, "Today is Saturday, are you sure you still want to stay at home and work?"
"Um."
"Hmm?" Shen Nianchu walked over and sat on his legs without saying anything.
"How can you say such cold words with your 37-degree mouth?"
Lu Jinzhou put his hand on her waist naturally. The time they spent together day and night for the past half month had indeed made the two of them closer, but this action was really bold.
"Are you really becoming more and more fearless?"
"What's wrong?"
"I've been focusing on your recovery lately, letting you stir up trouble every day. Haven't you ever thought about how to repay me after you recover?"
Shen Nianchu's left wrist was still in plaster, so he could only hook his right hand around his neck, talking and laughing.
"Can't you even sit for a while? Don't be so stingy. I'll treat you to a trip when I get better."
"where?"
Shen Nianchu smiled and slowly moved closer, her nose touching his and whispering, "A day trip to my bed."
Lu Jinzhou held her neck, his lips pressed against hers, "Okay, then we can't just do it once."
“…………”
Not as sexy as this.
Shen Nianchu struggled to get off him, “Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Lu Jinzhou held her slender waist tightly and said, "It's too late. I've recorded everything you've done these days."
"We'll talk about it later~"
She will be rejoining the crew next week after the plaster is removed. The filming has been suspended for such a long time, and the intensity of the shooting will definitely be very high. We won’t be able to see anyone, so what can we do to her?
"What do you want to do?"
"Come with me to the movies. There's a new movie coming out, and I have a cameo in it for a few minutes."
"Your cameo was only three minutes long, but it took up a full minute of the trailer, and you were pulled out by the crew to promote a new movie to make money at the box office?"
Shen Nianchu didn’t expect that he would know, “How did you know?”
"I'm surfing the internet."
Chen Nianchu laughed. "This movie was shot last year. I was nobody back then. Although the crew's current promotional methods are a bit excessive, this industry has always been like this. Whoever is popular will be exploited. And these are all veteran actors. I learned a lot on the set back then. Let them do what they want. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Lu Jinzhou didn't expect that she would not care at all.
"If you don't like it, or feel uncomfortable, you don't have to think about it."
"I don't feel uncomfortable. It's really okay. It's normal."
In this circle, only those who are famous will be sought after by others. These days, some fans have spoken up for her on Weibo. After all, the trailer was only a few minutes long, and one minute of her three-minute scene was cut for publicity. At that time, the salary she received was only a few thousand yuan.
Lu Jinzhou meant that he would support her and that she wouldn't have to do anything she didn't want to do, but she didn't know if this relationship would last. One always has to leave a way out for oneself, in case they break up in the future...
"Will you accompany me to watch it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jinzhou picked her up and walked into the movie room. "I thought you wouldn't want to watch it."
"Some actors won't watch their own work, but I haven't done much to begin with. Only by watching it and comparing it with others can I know where I need to improve. But how did you get this movie? It's still showing in theaters."
"A project invested by Dingsheng."
Chen Nianchu understood, yes, even if Dingsheng didn't invest, as the dignified Master Lu, he couldn't watch any movie he wanted.
Just as the movie started, Shen Nianchu received a call from Director Liu, "Are you free to come out now? Meet our new leading man and talk about the reshoots for the male and female leads' scenes."
"Okay, Director Liu, I'll be right out."
Jiang Nan was seriously injured and needed to stay in bed for three to six months to recover enough to not affect his dancing. After consultation with all parties, he finally decided to give up the role in this drama.
She had heard some news in the past few days, but the information about the male lead was kept secret and she had no idea who it was. Perhaps the director was afraid of complications, so he let her go out to meet people in a mysterious way.
She looked at the man next to her with an apologetic look on her face, "Sorry, I might have to go out for a while."
Lu Jinzhou also heard the content of the call just now. He stood up with an indifferent expression and said, "It's okay. Where's the address? I'll take you there."
"No need. I think it's in a teahouse nearby. I'll just ask Ye Huan to take me there. You go ahead and do your thing."
"Lanju Pavilion?"
"Um."
Lu Jinzhou dragged her to the cloakroom to pick out some clothes without hesitation, "I'll take you there. Jiang Qinian is organizing a party tonight, and I'll take you there after it's over."
"Who are they?"
"Jiang Qinian, Lu Xingzhou, and another friend you should be familiar with. You'll know when you meet them. Do you want to go?"
"go!"
