After taking the fever reducer, He Mingxiao quickly calmed down, gradually loosened his arms that were tightly holding Nan Xian, and fell into a deep sleep.
She finally managed to get away, feeling aches and pains all over her body. She glared fiercely at He Mingxiao, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and silently made a mental note of his mistake.
Ding He packed up the first-aid kit and turned her head to see Nan Xian grimacing and rubbing her back while holding onto the edge of the table. A thought suddenly struck her, and she remembered the sweet novel she had stayed up all night reading last night—
In sweet romance novels, after the male and female leads have been intimate, the female lead always gets out of bed the next morning, supporting her back...
Her gaze unconsciously swept over Nan Xian and He Mingxiao, she blinked, and a subtle smile appeared on her lips, revealing that she had discovered something extraordinary.
"Jiang Xing will be here soon. Tell him about He Mingxiao's condition. Oh, and about that fever reducer—" Nan Xian turned around, paused, and raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ding He, who was conjuring up some rather suggestive images in her mind, quickly banished those strange thoughts and straightened her face. "Ahem, it's alright, sis, you can go ahead and record. I'll keep an eye on things here, nothing will go wrong!"
Nan Xian glanced at the time. This morning had been delayed for too long because of He Mingxiao's sudden fever. Now there were only ten minutes left before the recording started. There was barely enough time to wash up, let alone do her hair and makeup.
Given Nan Xian's current status and popularity, making the production crew wait for her would be as easy as saying a few words, and no one would dare to object. But today was the last day of filming for this episode, and she didn't want to delay everyone's progress because of her, so she quickly washed up, casually tied her hair in a ponytail, and went out without makeup.
As soon as I stepped out, I ran into Kou Xiangxin. He looked like he hadn't slept well, his hair was a bit messy, and the corners of his mouth were downturned. It was as if the words "Don't bother me" were written all over his face.
The two exchanged a glance, but neither spoke, and simultaneously looked away in tacit agreement.
They arrived at the front yard of the Qiao family's residence, where everyone else was already there. After exchanging pleasantries, the recording officially began.
Director Deng has not returned yet; the assistant director is still in charge of recording today.
In order to speed up the process and finish filming as soon as possible, the production team changed the original treasure hunt in the back mountain into an indoor game. The winner of each round of the game can get clues about the "missing groom".
Nan Xian has been preoccupied with Lu Anna and the "Mop Spirit" these past few days, which has prevented her from completing her mission properly. She has obtained very few clues and has no chance of winning.
The production team was aware of this, and in order to make the show more entertaining, they once again brought out the "hidden mission"—
Nan Xian will act as a "troublemaker," disrupting other players' progress during the game, but she must remain hidden from their knowledge of her hidden quest. After completing three "troublemakers" events, she will obtain all the clues from any other player.
Nan Xian accepted the task with a mix of amusement and exasperation. So, while the others diligently searched the balloon pool for the one containing the real clue, she secretly asked the production team for an air pump and kept adding new balloons to the pool. When the other guests were blindfolded and playing with the mystery box, finally managing to mentally prepare themselves before reaching out, she, hiding inside the box, grabbed their hand, causing them to scream in terror...
Finally, the last game arrived. During a break in filming, Nan Xian went to the production team to get spoilers for the mission. To avoid being discovered by others, she deliberately took a long detour. Unexpectedly, she saw Kou Xiangxin standing in a secluded spot, turned to the side, talking on the phone with someone.
She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy and was about to leave when she suddenly saw what Kou Xiangxin was holding and stopped abruptly in her tracks.
In his palm was a jade pendant, pure white, carved with a fox sleeping with its eyes closed.
It was almost identical to her broken fox-shaped jade pendant, except for the color.
