Su Er slept very comfortably, nestled in the warm blankets. If no one woke her up, she could probably sleep until the sun was high in the sky.
Unfortunately, that's just a hypothetical.
When the cold hand pinched her earlobe, Su Er instinctively wanted to bury her head in the blanket.
The nagging voice in her ear showed no sign of letting up, "Get up now!"
Su Ermeng's voice was muffled from under the covers as she negotiated with Lin Shuqin, "Just a little longer, just a little longer."
The curtains were suddenly pulled open, and the winter sunlight shone through the blankets, casting an orange-yellow halo over her eyes.
Lin Shuqin stopped urging her, crossed her arms, looked at the bundle wrapped in the blanket on the bed, and asked her, "Are we still filming?"
A few seconds later, Su Er propped herself up and got up. She rubbed her messy hair, buried her head in her knees, and asked, "Sister Qin, what time is it?"
"Eight o'clock."
Su Er sighed and tried to lie down again. "Sister Qin, my scene is this afternoon."
Lin Shuqin lifted a corner of her blanket and stuffed an ice pack inside. "Go and see how swollen your face is first. Do you still want to be on camera this afternoon?"
Startled by the sudden chill, Su Er screamed, fully waking up. She stopped struggling and slowly climbed off the bed.
When I looked in the mirror, I realized how swollen I was.
Su Er squeezed out some toothpaste, applied an ice pack to her face with one hand, and brushed her teeth. She walked around the room for a while, then suddenly remembered to ask, "Sister Qin, where is Jiang Siyan? Did you see him when you came?"
Lin Shuqin brought in the coffee delivery. "Oh, I thought you were so drunk last night that you blacked out."
Su Er is the type of person who doesn't easily black out when drunk, and besides, she wasn't drunk to the point of being unconscious last night.
She still had a vague memory of what she had done last night.
Actually, she was a little sleepy when she got back to the hotel last night and wanted to go to sleep as soon as she lay down.
However, Jiang Siyan insisted on helping her take a bath because she reeked of alcohol, and the bath sobered her up.
Having done a lot of troublesome and messy things, Su Er still feels a little guilty and ashamed when she thinks about it now.
"He left early this morning, and I noticed he still has quite a few dark circles under his eyes."
Lin Shuqin was quite relieved. Given how much Su Er had to deal with her last night, taking care of her all night would have definitely left her exhausted today.
Su Er then vaguely remembered that when she was half asleep in the early morning, Jiang Siyan seemed to have told her that he had something to do and had to leave first. However, she was only focused on sleeping at the time and could not distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.
Su Er estimated the time; he should be on a plane now.
She sent a message to Jiang Siyan, and after washing up and having a little breakfast, she took her water bottle and went to the gym for a run.
After exercising for about half an hour, my phone, which was on the table, started vibrating.
Su Er glanced at the caller ID, couldn't help but smile, pressed the pause button on the treadmill, her breathing a little unsteady, and asked happily, "You've gotten off the plane."
"Hmm, exercising?" Jiang Siyan asked in return.
Su Er took a big gulp of coffee. "Yeah, my face is so swollen. I won't look good on camera this afternoon. I'll never drink so much alcohol again."
Jiang Siyan coughed lightly and teased her, pinching her cheek, "Hmm, you should drink less, so you don't have to ride a horse late at night, right?"
One sentence triggered Su Er's memories of last night.
After taking a bath, she was unusually excited. I don't know what she was thinking, maybe because she had been filming too many action scenes lately, but she insisted on riding a horse.
Jiang Siyan was so annoyed by her nagging that he even considered having He Wen contact the horse farm, but Su Er shook her head and said, "Don't ride that kind of horse."
Jiang Siyan asked, puzzled, "Which one do you want to ride?"
“You squat down, and then… like this…” Su Er made a gesture, “I’ll ride on your shoulders.”
The air seemed to freeze. Jiang Siyan lifted his eyelids slightly, scrutinizing her with a dangerous look. "Er'er, you're not drunk, are you?"
Jiang Siyan genuinely suspected that this young woman was using drunkenness as an excuse to deliberately torment him.
Su Er blinked her innocent big eyes, which were full of ignorance.
One second, two seconds...
Unable to get a response, Su Er started acting like a child who hadn't received candy, throwing a tantrum on the sofa, "I want to ride! If you won't let me... if you don't let me, I'll find..."
Jiang Siyan's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Who are you looking for?"
Su Er thought for a moment, then slumped onto the pillow as if she had suffered a great injustice. "No way, my boyfriend will be jealous. I won't have a horse to ride."
Jiang Siyan had never encountered such a difficult drunkard. He really shouldn't have let her take this bath. Not only did his clothes get soaked, but he also brought out her little temper.
Jiang Siyan looked at the girl on the sofa who was dropping small pearls, and struggled internally for a few seconds.
He told himself that carrying someone on his back was not much different from riding on their shoulders.
With a determined look, he squatted down in front of her, patted his shoulder, and said, "Get on."
Su Er stopped crying immediately, wiped away her tears, took his hand and carefully helped him put his legs up on the ground. Once he was seated, she patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, get up."
Jiang Siyan realized tonight that this little girl really doesn't hold back when it comes to ordering people around.
As they gained altitude, their field of vision widened dramatically, and Su Er exclaimed in surprise, "I can touch the ceiling!"
"Sit tight, my dear." Jiang Siyan pinched her thigh in an annoyed tone.
Su Er swayed a couple of times, then immediately and cowardly covered his head with her hands to steady herself.
