In Chapter 6, the male protagonist fainted from hunger.
When Ye Lu arrived at He Qianyu's side, panting heavily, he saw that He Qianyu was still unconscious on the ground, like a lifeless painting.
Ye Lu quickly dispersed the surrounding crowd of onlookers, who slowly receded like a tide. He pointed at He Qianyu's assistant, his brows furrowed, and asked anxiously, "What happened to him? Why did he suddenly faint?"
Xiao Chen held He Qianyu tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, like a lake about to burst forth. "Director Ye, my Qianyu hasn't eaten for three days, and she even filmed two action scenes this morning! She was just talking to me fine a moment ago, and then she fainted in the blink of an eye. I don't know what happened." Xiao Chen's voice was choked with sobs, full of self-blame and worry.
Seeing this, Ye Lu was extremely anxious. He quickly took out his phone and dialed 120 with trembling fingers. "Hello! Is this 120?"
At this moment, Su Yingxue also slowly walked over with the crowd. After entrusting the important task of getting food to Xu Qingqing, she had already lost her appetite due to this unexpected situation.
Looking at He Qianyu collapsed on the ground, and after listening to Xiao Chen's detailed explanation of the situation, Su Yingxue had a sudden inspiration. She remembered that she had had a similar experience before. When filming for long periods of time, eating irregularly, and during crucial moments of filming major productions, she was prone to fainting. Without hesitation, she pulled a piece of milk candy from her pocket, a treasure she always carried with her to relieve stress.
"Quickly give him some, is he having a hypoglycemic episode?" Su Yingxue said as she quickly stuffed the milk candy into He Qianyu's mouth.
He Qianyu still retained a faint trace of consciousness, unconsciously chewing a few times on a milk candy. Even in such a wretched state, lying unconscious on the ground in ancient attire, his handsome face still exuded a unique sense of fragility. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and beneath his high, straight nose, his lips were pale from blood loss, while his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face.
Less than two minutes later, He Qianyu slowly woke up. It was already past seven in the evening. Looking at the group of people from the film crew surrounding her, He Qianyu forced a weak smile on her pale face and said softly, "It's nothing, just my old problem, low blood sugar acting up again."
As he spoke, he used his arms to support himself and slowly sat up, trying to show everyone that he was alright.
"Your brother had a hypoglycemic attack and you didn't even know?" Ye Lu shouted angrily at his assistant, Xiao Chen.
"I've only been here a few days..." Xiao Chen said, his face full of grievance and his voice trembling with tears. He had just found this assistant job and was not yet familiar with He Qianyu's situation.
"Who gave me the candy just now?" He Qianyu turned her head slightly, looking around at the people around her.
"I gave it to him!" Su Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that He Qianyu was alright.
"Thank you." He Qianyu looked at Su Yingxue sincerely, earnestly expressing her gratitude.
"It's good that you're alright. Get up and eat!" Su Yingxue smiled and pointed towards the kitchen.
"The food in the kitchen is awful! My brother fainted because he doesn't like the food there!"
Xiao Chen looked at the simple kitchen and grumbled in dissatisfaction. These past few days, He Qianyu had been eating mostly fruit and vegetable powder. When the boxed meals were delivered, he would only eat a few bites of meat, and even then, he found them tasteless.
He Qianyu even jokingly told Xiao Chen that now his fans could finally say that their idol hadn't been sneaking food and was actually on a diet. Heaven knows, it's heartbreaking to think that an idol who loves food has been driven to this state.
He Qianyu has smooth, silky short hair, with a few strands falling casually across her forehead, adding to her carefree and unrestrained demeanor.
His skin was fair, glowing softly under the lamplight, yet it also appeared sickly pale due to low blood sugar. His sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with their deep and captivating depths like twinkling stars in the night sky, were slightly narrowed due to his weakness.
Beneath his high, straight nose were well-defined lips, which usually wore a confident smile, but now appeared slightly pale due to blood loss. He was tall and imposing, and even now, lying unconscious on the ground, one could still discern the robust physique hidden beneath his ancient attire.
"Cough cough, Qianyu, you must eat before coming to work next time." Ye Lu knew the food was bad and thought they were all eating instant noodles, but he didn't expect He Qianyu to not eat at all, which almost made him faint.
If this gets out, Ye Lu thinks that those marketing accounts will probably publish some smear articles.
"Okay!" He Qianyu nodded, smelling a very fragrant aroma. She touched her stomach, which made a rumbling sound.
"Come and eat!" Su Yingxue said, seeing He Qianyu clutching her stomach.
A gentleman is like jade, unparalleled on the road. He stood up, dusted himself off, and smiled.
"good."
The group quickly went to the small kitchen, only to find that Shen Yu had already finished her second bowl of boxed lunch.
She was still eyeing the beef balls in Zhu Xiaoxiao's bowl.
Zhu Xiaoxiao looked fiercely protective of her food, holding the bowl tightly and giving Shen Yu no chance to take advantage of her.
"The last one."
"No, no, no."
Looking at Shen Yu's expression, He Qianyu secretly wondered. He remembered that Shen Yu, like himself, was also controlling her diet, and just a few days ago she had loudly proclaimed, "A small kitchen? Boxed lunches? Even a dog wouldn't eat that!!!"
The dog won't eat it, but she's eating it.
The extras around her were all eating their second bowl of rice, enjoying it immensely. Su Yingxue returned to the small kitchen, only to find the food was almost gone.
There was only a little bit of preserved mustard greens left in the braised pork with preserved mustard greens. Where was the pork? She looked at Xu Guoqing; the whole bowl of pork she had just seen was gone.
Xu Guoqing scratched his head awkwardly. After Su Yingxue left, a group of extras surrounded him, praising his cooking as the best in the world. He had momentarily forgotten his own smugness and had added a lot of meat, forgetting Su Yingxue's instruction that each person should only have two pieces.
"Dad, just listen to their bragging!" Xu Qingqing said, offering up the last bit of the family soup amidst the scramble of the crowd.
There wasn't much soup left, but it still looked much better than braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens.
"You guys..." Su Yingxue thought to herself, "They really can eat. To make sure there wasn't enough, she specially made double the amount, just in case there wasn't enough, but this group still ate it all up."
"Is that all?" He Qianyu had been curious, seeing everyone enjoying their meal and looking so content as they walked over. Seeing that there was no food left, she felt a little disappointed.
Unfortunately, I guess I'll have to go back and eat instant noodles then.
"Don't go!" Su Yingxue couldn't stand seeing others go hungry. She immediately stopped him. "Give me ten minutes."
"Is there any food left?" Su Yingxue asked Xu Qingqing. Xu Qingqing shook her head and showed her the clean rice bucket.
These people... they really didn't even give her a chance to have a plate of fried rice.
Su Yingxue put on her chef's uniform and neatly styled her hair.
There were only a few dough balls left in the kitchen, which she had prepared in advance—heaven knows, for tomorrow morning's breakfast. Now she had no choice but to use them ahead of time.
"Senior! What are you doing?" Shen Yu looked at Su Yingxue's actions with curiosity.
"I'll knead the dough by hand," Su Yingxue replied simply, then began to examine the dough.
