Shi Xi thought that rock sugar pear was very sweet, but she only tasted a little because she didn't want to waste his good intentions.
Unexpectedly, the rock sugar pear was cooked to perfection. It contained not only pear and sugar, but also white fungus and red dates, making it soft, glutinous, fragrant, and sweet.
Shi Xi finished a bowl of rock sugar pear soup before lunch was served.
Seeing that Shi Xi had finished drinking, Li Jinfan smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll cook it again tomorrow."
"No need," Shi Xi quickly said. "You can spend more time reading scripts or playing games."
It's too much trouble to cook this for her!
"It's alright, I like to drink it myself anyway, so I'll just cook some for you." Li Jinfan said sincerely, "Besides, I only cook when I'm not busy, so it won't take up much time."
"Uh, we'll see." Just because Shi Xi thinks it tastes good doesn't mean she wants to drink it all the time!
Moreover, drinking the younger generation's rock sugar pear soup seems like taking advantage of him.
Fortunately, lunch arrived, breaking the awkward silence.
After dinner, Shi Xi took the script and rehearsed her lines with Li Jinfan.
Both of them were very serious when they worked.
Shi Xi has extensive experience in many dramas, and the male actors she works with are all quite skilled, so she can teach Li Jinfan with ease.
Li Jinfan is intelligent and eager to learn. He had prepared well before coming and had a few days of intensive study with a professional teacher. So, with Shi Xi's guidance, he was able to get started quickly.
Shi Xi was generous in teaching and imparting all her knowledge to the eager-to-learn younger generation.
After two hours of rehearsing and instructing each other on the scene, Shi Xi coughed a few times.
Li Jinfan snapped out of her reverie and said, "Let's call it a day, sister. You should get some rest."
How could he forget that Shi Xi was sick yesterday but just recovered today?
Shi Xi poured herself a glass of warm water and said, "It's nothing, just a bit of a cough."
Li Jinfan put away the script. "You should get some rest too. I have some cough medicine. I'll go get it."
"Medicine?" Shi Xi remembered something and said, "I have some medicine prescribed by the doctor here."
"Didn't you take your medicine, sister?" Li Jinfan asked.
"I forgot..." Shi Xi found the medicine and took it according to the dosage indicated on it.
Looking at the confused girl, Li Jinfan felt that she was not like an older sister at all.
She's more like a younger sister who doesn't understand anything.
“Yesterday when I came to deliver rock sugar pears, a man opened the door.” Li Jinfan didn’t want to say it, but seeing the bowl on the table reminded him of yesterday’s events, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Is he your boyfriend?”
Xie Yunzhou?
Shi Xi's eyes crinkled as she said, "You saw him."
"Yeah, he said you were asleep and wouldn't let me bring in the rock sugar pear soup." Li Jinfan silently applied eye drops.
"Thank you! He seemed unapproachable, but he's actually a nice guy," Shi Xi said with a smile. "Don't tell anyone about my relationship, okay?"
Li Jinfan lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."
"Let's stop here for today. I see you're learning quite quickly." After taking her medicine, Shi Xi said to Li Jinfan, "If there's anything you don't understand, we can talk about it when we get to the film set."
Li Jinfan nodded obediently and said, "Thank you, sister."
Shi Xi waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Li Jinfan was a trainee she mentored on "Star Selection Idol" and also a junior colleague in the same drama crew.
She just took a little extra care.
While drinking water, Shi Xi's phone rang.
It was a video call from Xie Yunzhou.
Shi Xi answered the phone.
On the other end of the video call, Xie Yunzhou, who had just arrived at his business trip location and was still in the car, asked, "How's your cold? Have you taken any medicine?"
Li Jinfan slowed down his movements as he put the script away.
