Changqing burrowed herself into the blanket and covered her ears.
She was going to ignore him. Scoundrel, making her hurt so much and acting so fierce to her right now.
Song Chuyi turned and got a key from the drawer of the TV console. He unlocked the door and saw a bulge in the blanket. He found it funny and was in a good mood. "You just had to make the same mistake twice. This is my house—I have keys to every room. Come out right now."
Changqing didn’t think he would enter again, but she resigned herself to her fate once again. After he spoke, Changqing crawled up dejectedly.
She was best at acting according to the situation. When it was time for her to give in, she would give in. Otherwise, Song Chuyi might come at her again forcefully.
Changqing never wanted to experience that pain again.
Therefore, she came out and raised her red eyes but the moment she saw Song Chuyi’s handsome face, some charming and enchanting images started to surface in her mind again.
Her face felt hot and she quickly lowered her head; she was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare to look at him.
"Is it really still very painful?" The sight of that little girl full of grievances, looking as though she was about to cry, still made Song Chuyi, who just sampled a little bit of meat, feel sorry.
He reached out and pulled her into his embrace gently, watching her attentively with a deep and gentle gaze.
Changqing didn’t dare to look and only nodded, saying with grievances, "You’re not a woman; you don’t understand that pain."
Song Chuyi stared at her trembling eyelashes and had never felt so helpless in many years. "You were too nervous, alright? I’m not going to touch you. We’ll sleep first, alright?"
After hearing that, Changqing was at ease.
She nodded obediently and laid down. This time, Song Chuyi didn’t cuddle her. He only slept close to her.
Changqing let her imagination run wild until she couldn’t overcome that strong sense of sleepiness before she finally dozed off.
The next day, Changqing was woken up by someone.
She was shaken awake by her shoulder from her deep sleep. She opened her tired eyes and Song Chuyi was standing neatly clothed by the side of the bed. His light grey sweater made a layer of bright and beautiful light fall on him. His handsome features made Changqing dumbstruck.
"Your assistant just called to tell you to arrive at the set by 8:30 am." Song Chuyi bent over and pulled her up. His think lips uttered gentle and deep words. "It’s seven right now, and I heard it takes you almost an hour to get to the set."
Changqing’s face fell upon hearing that. "Isn’t it nine? I’m so tired…"
"I don’t know, anyway, that’s what she said." Song Chuyi looked at her and felt like he was with his uncle’s eight-year-old daughter.
He sighed helplessly inside. "Get changed quickly. I’ll get Auntie Wang to pack your breakfast so you can eat on the way."
"… Oh." Changqing blinked her eyes. She really wasn’t used to such a gentle Song Chuchu.
Could it be because of what happened last night?
Changqing pouted. No wonder Ruan Yang always said that a man and woman would become more intimate after they did it and a man’s attitude would also change.
Could it be that Song Chuyi also changed like that?
She exchanged this special treatment for her virginity.
Changqing felt a complicated and inexplicable feeling surging from her heart.
Could she be considered… Song Chuyi’s woman from today on…
A faint blush surfaced on her face.
She covered her face, embarrassed to think further.
Song Chuyi came back after ten minutes to find her still standing in front of the wardrobe looking for clothes dazedly. He rubbed his forehead and had to remind her again: "If you don’t hurry up, you’ll be late."
Changqing glanced at the time and seemed awakened, taking a random piece of clothing to change into without caring for her image.
After that, she had to go through her skincare regimen and look for her car keys.
It took her five to six minutes to find her car keys. When she came out of the room, she saw Song Chuyi sitting at the dining table, eating gracefully. Changqing looked at him jealously and said, "It’s really unfair to make comparisons between people."
"Then think about every time I have to work overnight." Song Chuyi swept her a glance and stood up, passing her the little box on the table prepared for her. Changqing took a look and saw there was her favorite french toast, hard-boiled egg, milk, red dates and walnuts.
Changqing felt a sense of sweetness and received it warmly. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly thought of something. She said softly and shyly, "I… that… will I get pregnant…"
A moment of awkwardness flashed
Changqing: "…"
She looked at him in disbelief. "How’s that possible? I was in so much pain."
"You kept screaming that it was painful and you were very tense, so I couldn’t go in." Song Chuyi took a look at her as though she was an idiot. Didn’t she feel anything?
Changqing felt like crying. How could that be? She was already in so much pain but in the end…
Then would she be in more pain the next time?
Chuyi shivered and gave Song Chuchu a tough glare. "Song Chuchu, you’re too useless."
After finishing her piece, she took her breakfast and left in a huff.
Song Chuyi was dumbstruck for a while. When he heard the door closing, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and brought dishonor to his refinedness, letting out "f*ck."
He was empathetic towards her and couldn’t bear for her to cry so pitifully. In the end, he was scolded for being useless. What kind of person was that? If he had known, he wouldn’t have rested before he did the deed yesterday.
This woman didn’t know better.
On the way to the set, Changqing wasn’t in the least bit of a good mood. Even when she was having her breakfast, she was grinding her teeth. It was all Song Chuyi’s fault for causing her to be so embarrassed.
However, she still didn’t understand so she sneakily checked during the red light and the more she checked, the redder her face got.
By the time she reached the set, her face was as red as a strawberry.
Wen Tong looked at her appearance and laughed slyly. "Such huge dark eye circles, don’t tell me last night you and Dr. Song… hehehe."
"No way, I watched a horror film yesterday and was too scared I couldn’t sleep," Changqing said guiltily.
"Really?"
"I can’t be bothered with you. I’m going to touch up my makeup." Changqing escaped into the changing room.
The first scene was with He Yongsui. There wasn’t much dialogue and the main parts required acting with facial expressions. This scene could’ve been completed within 40 minutes but it took more than an hour.
The atmosphere on the set was heavy and the director was filled with anger he couldn’t vent.
After finally completing the shoot with difficulty, Changqing felt extremely awkward inside.
Guan Ying, who was standing at the side waiting for the next scene, frowned. "Changqing, you’re a little off-form today. Did something happen?"
"I can’t really concentrate…" Changqing lowered her head. Her whole mind was filled with what happened last night and her thighs were a little sore too.
"You used to be the most enthusiastic and diligent when we shot in the past. You were rarely like this." Guan Ying smiled lightly. "You still have a few more scenes today, so adjust your emotions quickly, alright?"
"Mm." Changqing nodded and returned to the resting area.
Just as she sat down on the couch, she noticed a magazine placed at the side. The cover was a man decked in a suit. Shockingly, It was precisely Song Chuyi.
She was astonished and picked it up to take a look. It was People Magazine and the first page was an interview with regards to Song Chuyi’s medical background and journey.
It was filled with many specialized jargon and Changqing couldn’t understand it after looking at it for a long while.
However, Song Chuyi was very handsome on the cover page. Even though it was an all-black suit, it didn’t come off as hostile; rather, it was elegant and distinguished.
It was completely different from that naughty character last night.
However, she was the only one who could see that naughty side of Song Chuyi.
Changqing felt a tinge of sweetness.
"Aye, you like to read this magazine too?" At that moment, Guan Ying’s assistant, Lin Ning walked over and said with a smile, "Guan Ying kind of likes it too. You two are indeed close sisters."
Changqing froze, "This is… Guan Ying’s?"
"Yeah." Lin Ning nodded.
Changqing was speechless. According to her understanding, Guan Ying never liked to read this type of magazine, unless it was…
She lowered her head and looked at the man on the cover page.
Could it be that Song Chuyi had always been in Guan Ying’s heart?
The tinge of sweetness Changqing felt just now suddenly seemed to have been shrouded by a layer of grey clouds.
For the next scene from 11 am to 1 pm, Changqing didn’t do well at all.
When Fu Yu came over, he happened to see Director Su looking ashen. Changqing also looked dejected. She wanted to act better but sometimes, the more you wanted to act better, the more stressful it became.
"What’s going on?" He curled his index finger and summoned the script supervisor at the side.
The script supervisor said carefully, "Miss Yan isn’t in a good state today. She’s been filming a scene for more than two hours and still isn’t done with it."
Fu Yu frowned. "Has she eaten?"
The script supervisor shook his head.
"Tell Director Su to pause for a meal break," Fu Yu said with his face sunken.
The script supervisor quickly ran to Director Su and relayed the message. Director Su was holding onto the script, his temper rising, yet he didn’t dare to say a word to Changqing. Now that he heard Fu Yu had arrived, his legs went to jelly from the fright and he quickly called for a cut before running over to welcome Fu Yu. "CEO Fu, why did you come over at this time?"
Director Su passed a cigarette over but Fu Yu didn’t accept it, only looking apathetically at Changqing who was standing in the middle of the set with a vexed face. He said, "Every actor has their bad days but meals have to be eaten, don’t you agree?"
Director Su smiled bitterly and said, "CEO Fu, it isn’t that I didn’t let everyone eat but Ke Yongyuan has to leave for Beijing at three in the afternoon to attend a conference and his manager, Cai Gao, has been rushing us. Ke Yongyuan has been waiting at the set for his next scene. I had no choice either. Everyone’s schedule had to fit, so I could only make Changqing work overtime."
Fu Yu glanced at Cai Gao, who wasn’t far away, and thought for a while before saying lightly, "I will get someone to inform Cai Gao. Finish the meal first. You will only have the strength to shoot after having your meal."
Director Su quickly nodded and called for a meal break.
Changqing also saw Fu Yu’s appearance.
The sudden short break indeed allowed her to take a breather but what if she was still unable to complete the shoot properly after that? She looked at the staff around who were already running out of patience and felt flustered.
"Changqing, don’t worry." Guan Ying patted her shoulder lightly. "Did you forget what our teacher taught us back when we were studying? We’re actors. When we shoot, we have to learn how to control our emotions. No matter what, we can’t let our emotions affect our mood when we film."
Changqing looked at the gentle Guan Ying before her and her heart wrung more complicatedly. "Xiaoying, I’m sorry. I made you redo it so many times with me."
"I’m fine with that." Guan Ying shook her head but her eyes sank a little. "However, if it was someone else, they definitely wouldn’t think like me. They would definitely think you’re an amateur actor. You should’ve noticed how Director Su wanted to flare up but he didn’t and you should know clearly why."
