Chapter 29 part 2

This chapter is for Blumencha. Thank you so much for supporting me in Kofi.

Lying back down on the bed, Xia Shutong sent a message to Qian Lingling.

【Xiao Qian, I’ve caught a cold. I won’t be going to the set today. Please keep an eye on things there.】

In her current state, she definitely couldn’t make it to the set.

After lying on the bed in a daze for a while longer, Xia Shutong vaguely heard a knocking at the door.

Her head was throbbing.

She weakly covered her eyes with her hand, not responding.

Qian Lingling waited until the housekeeper arrived at the villa before excusing herself to rush to the set.

Before leaving, Qian Lingling suddenly heard Xia Shutong murmuring in a low voice, “Mao Mao…”

What ?

Xia Shutong’s voice was very soft and tender, tinged with a hint of playfulness. Qian Lingling almost thought she had misheard.

Bending down, Qian Lingling asked, “President Xia, what did you say?”

However, Xia Shutong had already turned over and fallen asleep again.

Qian Lingling didn’t press further, thinking that Xia Shutong was probably just saying nonsense due to the fever. After giving a few instructions to the housekeeper, she left the room.

…

On the film set.

Due to the new cast member joining, Director Dai Su spent the morning holding a script discussion session, aiming to help the new actor quickly get into character.

Coincidentally, the new actress, Jiang Feng, was the same student who had auditioned for the second female lead before. She was currently a third-year student at the Beijing Film Academy.

Jiang Feng’s appearance wasn’t the delicate type, but her eyes were quite lively. She bore a resemblance to the second female lead, Zhou Ling Xue. With her decent acting skills and clean record, as well as a friendly and approachable personality, the new second female lead role was given to her.

When Qian Lingling arrived, the discussion was already coming to an end.

Finally, Qian Lingling summarized a few points, particularly emphasizing to Director Dai Su that he should avoid losing his temper with the cast on set. The meeting was almost over.

At this point, Yun Feiwu’s gaze shifted away from the script. She casually glanced at Qian Lingling and asked, seemingly nonchalant, “President Xia isn’t coming to the set today?”

Qian Lingling replied, “President Xia isn’t feeling well. She’ll rest for a couple of days and then return.”

Although the doctor had mentioned that Xia Shutong’s illness wasn’t severe and she would recover after a good sleep, Qian Lingling still hoped she would take an extra day to rest, considering her high-intensity work over the past few days.

“Not feeling well? Is she sick? Is it serious?” Director Dai Su didn’t even lift his head, throwing out a series of questions absentmindedly.

Qian Lingling hesitated for a moment before managing a smile and responding,

Despite knowing that Director Dai Su was engrossed in his art and probably had no real concern for Xia Shutong’s health, Qian Lingling resisted the urge to quibble and said, “Rest assured, Director Dai. President Xia just have a slight cold.”

“Oh.” Director Dai Su paused for a few seconds before suddenly looking up and saying seriously, “Tomorrow’s shooting schedule isn’t too packed. Let’s make some time to visit President Xia. There seem to be fruit stalls outside the studio. Xiao Yun, Xiao Jiang, let’s each buy a basket. What do you think?”

Could it be that Director Dai Su was actually capable of such a human touch? Qian Lingling was genuinely taken aback.

Before Qian Lingling could respond, Jiang Feng had already chimed in, “The fruit baskets aren’t that fresh. We should buy fruit from the local farmers on the roadside. I saw several stalls today with all kinds of fruits.”

Even the usually poker-faced Yun Feiwu smiled and nodded.

Qian Lingling was about to speak again, but Jiang Feng approached her and asked, “Sister Qian, what kind of fruit does President Xia like the most?”

Qian Lingling was speechless for a moment before she replied, “Any would do.”

And so, the plan to visit Xia Shutong was settled.

Xia Shutong slept for almost an entire day.

Upon waking up, while the headache wasn’t as intense as in the morning, her body still felt somewhat feeble and dizzy, making it difficult for her to move around.

Sitting on the bed and finishing a bowl of porridge, her mind cleared up quite a bit.

Simultaneously, she vaguely recalled some things.

It seemed that when she was sick before, Qian Lingling had taken care of her like this.

She recollected many small details of her interactions with Qian Lingling, and even faintly remembered how they had met.
