During their previous encounters, Yu Zexiao used a different technique almost every time, as if someone came upon a table full of dishes and insisted on tasting each one to find the most delicious.
It was Anning’s first time experiencing these things, and although a bit embarrassed, together with the man she loved, discovering new methods each time— seemed, perhaps, also quite pleasant?
-----------------------------
However, there was a slight hiccup this time.
It was something to do with Liu Chunmei.
She was part of the set crew, also known as a production service assistant or simply ’set affairs’, responsible for daily matters during the filming of a TV series. Their job focused on two main times: before filming began and after it ended, handling all sorts of miscellaneous tasks—all in all, the dogsbodies.
After filming was finished, they had to take on cleanup, packing up, and setting up for the next day’s shoot, which meant they usually returned late. Due to the excessive and varied nature of her work, once Xiaoliu came back, she usually needed to wash up and go straight to sleep. Jian Anning thought maybe she should wait for Xiaoliu to rest before sneaking out?
Because of the shadow cast by the previous incident with Zhao Ziyin at the hospital, if Xiaoliu didn’t fall asleep and kept bothering her, although embarrassing, she decided she would tell Xiaoliu the truth and then slip away under the cover of night!
But she couldn’t just leave without waiting for Xiaoliu to return. Even if she sent a text or called her, what if someone else saw or heard it? Liu Chunmei had leverage in their hands and, being naive, was easily frightened by Yu Zexiao into silence about their affairs. But it would be different with someone else!
She didn’t have to wait long before she noticed that Xiaoliu had indeed returned. However, her face was deathly pale, her expression distorted, her body curled up like a shrimp, and she was sweating profusely from her forehead.
It was clearly written all over her without needing a glance: she was sick!
Jian Anning was startled. Although she had been worried about Xiaoliu spilling the beans about her and Yu Zexiao, she couldn’t help but feel shocked seeing Xiaoliu in such a state.
"What, what’s wrong with you?" She immediately went forward, no longer concerned with the affair involving Zexiao.
"It’s nothing," Liu Chunmei said, clutching her stomach, "I think, it’s probably my stomach pain? It’s something I’m used to, it will pass after I throw up."
Many in the entertainment industry like them have stomach issues due to irregular sleep patterns, eating at odd hours, and frequently having midnight snacks.
However, the spot Liu Chunmei was pressing on was clearly not the stomach area, right?
"Do you, do you have pain somewhere else?" Jian Anning suddenly thought of something, her face changing color, "Don’t tell me, it’s your menstrual period..."
Some women suffer terribly during their periods, in so much pain they could cry for their mothers and fathers. A little moisture and cold air can make the pain—intensely unbearable.
"No, that’s not it. My period just ended," Liu Chunmei shook her head, covering her stomach again, "It’s nothing serious, I’ll just take some medicine. I think it’s just my stomach—my stomach hurts a little."
"That’s not where your stomach is located!" The stomach is positioned in the center, slightly upper part of the abdomen, but she was pressing down clearly on her belly!
"No, you need to see a doctor!" Jian Anning immediately pulled her to her feet.
