Chapter 55
Once there is a first time, there will be several more times afterwards.
During that time, they often did it.
Sometimes it was Ranlong who came over, and sometimes it was Qiuan who came over.
Ranlong silently wrote down in her memo the number of times each of them took the initiative, which was always very even, like a reciprocity.
I wonder if Qiu An is also secretly counting behind my back.
Ranlong would usually leave after finishing her work, but when Qiuan pretended to be asleep and refused to move from her bed, Ranlong would let her sleep.
At the beginning of this relationship, she felt awkward when she saw Qiu An on the set.
But Qiu An didn't seem to care about this private relationship. He continued to treat her well as if nothing had happened, or even better.
For example, when Qiu An went to buy afternoon tea during the lunch break, he would bring her a cup as well.
Sometimes it was the same coffee, but with milk and sugar; sometimes it was iced sour plum or mung bean soup to cool her down, or freshly squeezed juices like passion fruit, kiwi, and strawberry. There was no repeat in the week.
For example, when Ranlong went to get her lunch box, she found that hers had also been treated specially, with less oil, less salt, and less amount.
Whenever she was about to eat, Sister Hou would promptly bring a takeout order from a five-star hotel thirty kilometers away, filled with her favorite dishes, soups, and fruit desserts. It was obvious who had ordered it for her.
These were given to her by Qiu An on her own initiative. Ran Long accepted them but also asked her for more from time to time.
For example, she indirectly complained that hotel toilets still weren't smart in this day and age. The next day, when she went to the restroom, she saw a fancy toilet that heated the water and even talked and sang. They said they'd replaced it in all the rooms.
For example, Ranlong said, "I'm a little tired today. Can you hold my hand and do it yourself?"
Qiu An picked up her weak hand, looked at it for a moment, and agreed immediately.
Of course, Qiu An still asked to turn off the lights.
Although Qiu An gave her whatever she wanted, he still had a principle, which was not to let her smoke.
One day, Ranlong went to see her. Qiu An did not run to open the door as usual, but took a long time before walking over slowly.
Beneath the strong scent of perfume, Ranlong could smell a faint hint of tobacco.
Ranlong stared at her for a moment without saying a word, and Qiu An knew that he could not hide it from her.
"Give me one and I'll pretend nothing happened," said Ranlong.
In fact, whether Qiu An smokes or not is none of her business; in fact, she is already an adult. If she really wants to harm her body, she can just go to the convenience store and buy a pack.
“Smoking is bad.”
"Since you know smoking is bad for you, then you might as well stop smoking."
"I'm a bit of a smoker."
"Just bear with it. Aren't you very patient?"
Qiu An was puzzled: "I... can endure it?"
"Yeah, just like putting up with my unreasonable behavior, just like putting up with your unrequited love. If you can put up with all of that, why can't you put up with your smoking addiction?"
"What you said is different. I am not holding back."
Qiu An didn't think Ran Long was being unreasonable. She knew that Ran Long always had a reason when he was making trouble.
What's more, she thought the unreasonable Ranlong was cute and couldn't help but want to satisfy all her requests.
As for not being able to get the love she wants, it is true, but she is not enduring it.
I indulge myself every day.
Qiu An treats herself well and will fight for what she wants, so it's not easy for her to quit smoking.
When Ranlong heard her say this, he didn't think she was lying.
She was thinking that what Qiu An said was right. Wasn't she being sacrificed as a substitute? Meeting her request was only out of guilt, and her request wasn't excessive, so it wasn't to the point where she needed to "endure" it.
Dye is not a lump of wood.
She has always been a grateful person, but few people think so.
So when the whole crew envied Qiu An's kindness to her, she also thought about what she should do for Qiu An to prevent the favors owed to her from snowballing and causing her to be unable to repay them one day.
After all, underwear can't repay a debt of favor.
Ranlong thought of this when he was buying himself a popsicle.
So she picked and chose in the freezer and finally bought two.
A popsicle for herself. In the summer, her mouth is always full of ice. She's been eating too well lately, and her weight is on the rise. The calorie count on the label is always off-putting. She'd rather eat this watery popsicle with just sugar and coloring. And it's cheap.
Fifteen yuan worth of ice cream for Qiu An. Treating someone to a meal shouldn't be too shabby, and she didn't want Qiu An to think her kindness could be dismissed with a one-yuan popsicle.
Ranlong held the popsicle in his mouth in one hand and handed the popsicle he bought for Qiu An to him with the other hand.
Is it because they have been honest with each other that they have become too familiar with each other?
It is said that the more familiar people are with each other, the more awkward it is to express kindness directly.
So Ranlong just handed over the ice cream without saying a word.
"For me?" Qiu An took the ice cream, but looked a little hesitant.
"What else? Is there someone else in your room? Is there a hidden mistress in your room?"
"No, thank you."
Eating ice cream is a very childlike and fun thing. Ranlong would not think about anything else at this time, so she went home after delivering the ice cream.
It wasn't until midnight that Xixi knocked on Ranlong's door as if asking for trouble, and scolded the sleepy girl: "Don't you know that Qiu An will suffer from menstrual cramps if she eats ice cream during her period? Why did you have to deliver the ice cream today when there were other days to do so? Don't you know that the first two days are the worst? Even if you want to play a prank on someone, there should be a limit. You are so ignorant at such a young age..."
"Wait, she got her period today?"
"yes."
"Well, then this, this can't be blamed on me, right? She's just a grown-up, and she has menstrual cramps, so why doesn't she just eat it? She knew she was going to have menstrual pain, but she still ate the ice cream I gave her. Am I teasing her, or is she teasing me?"
Xixi thought about it and said, "That's right."
…
"So how is she now?"
"She took some painkillers and went to bed. Remember the time and don't give her anything cold during her period next time."
"oh."
It has become her responsibility, which is strange.
Ranlong no longer gave her ice cream, but brown sugar water instead.
She believed the online science that said the more brown sugar and less water, the better.
As a result, during a live recording, Qiu An's voice was fuzzy no matter what she said. Yuan Chengyin cursed and asked for a post-recording. To prevent Qiu An from being blamed, Ran Long had to stand up and admit that she was the culprit who sent the brown sugar water.
As a result, Yuan Chengyin actually scolded her!
It was fate. It was fate that harmed her.
What heavenly law had she violated? She was just trying to be nice to Qiu An, and her intentions were genuine, not just pretentious, so why did she always end up making things worse?
What about Qiu An? She knew she was going to have her period and that there were live recording scenes, so why did she eat whatever was given to her?
If she picked out a piece of solidified nasal secretion and put it to Qiu An's mouth in front of her, would Qiu An want to eat it too?
joke!
Ranlong didn't believe it, so she went to a small supermarket and bought a can of mint candy. She opened the package in front of Qiu An and poured two mints for her.
Qiu An said thank you and stuffed the candy into his mouth, not even giving Ranlong time to take it back!
Seeing that Qiu An was crying so hard that she couldn't open her eyes but was still unwilling to spit out the mint candy, Ranlong handed her a piece of paper and measured the temperature of her forehead.
"What's wrong? I'm not sick, I just have some allergies."
"Let me see if you have a high fever and have become stupid."
"What's the meaning?"
"You knew I was holding a mint candy, so why did you eat it? You knew sugary water would burn your throat, so why did you drink it? You knew eating ice would cause menstrual cramps, so why did you eat ice cream?"
Ranlong's voice was a little loud, and she seemed a little fierce. Qiu An was yelled at by her for a few words, and her tears were still flowing. She looked a little embarrassed and at a loss.
Qiu An lowered her head, grasping the edge of her clothes, fiddling with the edges with her fingers like rolling spaghetti. She whispered, "Because you gave it to me."
The sound was barely audible, but Ranlong was concentrating, so she heard it.
"ha?!"
It's unbelievable.
Qiu An thought she didn't hear clearly, so he repeated, "It was you who sent it."
"Don't be crazy! What we did was consensual! You don't have any sins to atone for! Spit out the mint, now!"
Ranlong half-clenched his hand into a bowl shape, stretched it forward, and placed it under Qiu An's mouth, completely forgetting that the tissue was in his hand.
"No."
"What?! You're just being meaningless and self-congratulatory, don't you know? It's sick! It's wrong! It's pure self-harm! I won't appreciate it, so just spit it out!"
Ranlong didn't expect that even after she said so much, Qiu An still held the two mint candies that caused her allergies in his mouth like treasures.
"Don't go on camera with swollen eyes tomorrow. Yuan Chengyin will scold you again if he sees you!"
Qiu An still shook his head: "I know a way to quickly reduce the swelling in my eyes."
Ranlong was about to surrender.
You said Qiu An was bullying herself, but why does Ran Long feel like he is bullying her?
She wanted to just leave and let Qiu An fend for himself, but she also knew how powerful those two damn little pills were.
Even if it was just physical, Qiu An still cried in front of her.
She would not just leave a crying person alone and run away from the scene.
Ranlong had said all the good and bad things, and there was nothing he could do but to pinch the corner of Qiu An's mouth.
Even as she watched her mouth become like this and the surrounding skin turned red and blue from being pinched, she still refused to loosen her teeth.
Ranlong placed the index finger of his other hand on the tip of his thumb and flicked her clenched teeth with force.
Still no use.
Okay. Now, there's only one last option left.
Ranlong let go of the corner of her mouth, wiped away her tears, then held her face and kissed her stubborn lips.
As expected, Qiu An finally loosened his stubborn teeth, and Ran Long seized the opportunity and put his tongue in.
Hiding and chasing, Qiu An's clever soft tongue took advantage of the home field, making her like a headless fly, unable to move forward or backward.
Finally, Qiu An had enough of her nonsense and let her go.
I scooped up two mints from somewhere and they appeared out of thin air on the tip of my tongue, and were easily swept away by my tongue.
Oh my god.
Is she crazy or is Qiu An crazy?
Kissing Qiu An now is as natural as drinking boiled water.
Of course, it’s not as plain as boiled water, and it’s even sweeter than the brown sugar water she cooked.
The two mints were coated in Qiu An's saliva. In the past, she would have been disgusted and even felt disgusted to pick them up with her hands, but now she actually swallowed them directly.
If she wasn't worried about Qiu An's allergy, she would have held it in her mouth for a while longer.
That night, Qiu An's period was over.
So she asked for Qiu An many times.
She couldn't remember the exact number, it came one after another and she couldn't even count them.
Anyway, she just remembered that Qiu An did it with her while crying.
She didn't stop dyeing because she looked really comfortable.
