C2 (1/2)

Ye Ningxiao clenched her teeth. At the edge of her hair line, fine beads of sweat had already seeped out. They sparkled with a tiny light, appearing especially eye-catching in winter. In her previous life, this role had been given to An Lu. She was also known as the Dragon Paw, but the two times she showed her face gave the director a good impression of her. The chances of An Lu also gradually increased.

Ye Ning Xiao was currently just a lackey. If she missed this opportunity, who knew how long she would have to wait. The hesitation in her eyes was instantly replaced with resolution. She had to endure through this scene!

”Pa!” Another strike landed on Ye Ningxiao's buttocks. The palace maid had used quite a bit too much force in order to put on a show. In order to maintain her figure, Ye NingXiao had only eaten a bowl of porridge at night. She was starving by the time she got to the wee hours of the morning. This strike came after another, and was completely borne by his willpower.

Ye Ningxiao timely bit into the blood bag in her mouth, causing a trickle of blood to flow out from the corner of her lips. ”Empress, your servant …” ”Your servant …” The light in her eyes stirred slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered a few times. The tears that had yet to fall flowed down her cheeks and landed on her clothes. In order to endure the pain, Ye Ning Xiao had already bit her lips to the point that they were split. Her face was devoid of blood.

Satisfied, the director grabbed the camera, ”Stop!” Someone immediately went up to help Ye Ningxiao remove the ropes on her body. Ye Ningxiao slowly sat up, one hand on the bench to support herself while the other on her forehead. She felt cold all over, and the sounds and images seemed to grow farther and farther away from her.

Lu Jin pursed his lips and took a big gulp from the teacup beside him, ”Not bad, this performance was really good. If there's a chance in the future, I'll let you try something else!”

Ye Ningxiao shakily stood up, and just as she took a step forward, she felt the world spinning before him. It was pitch black, and with a ”clang” sound, Ye NingXiao fell to the ground.

The two staff members who were closest to Ye Xiao immediately surrounded him.

Lu Jin had only taken a few steps when he turned around in shock, ”What's going on? Quickly help him up!”

Nie Xiaoying saw that there was something wrong with Ye Ning Xiao's expression when she was being beaten up, and also saw the beads of sweat on her forehead. Just as she was about to leave, she realized that she had collapsed, ”Director Lu, Ye Ning Xiao fainted!” We have to get them to the hospital as soon as possible! ”

Lighting Master Yang Feng was the closest to Ye Ningxiao. Just as he removed the wooden stick from Ye Ningxiao's body, his eyebrows wrinkled, ”Where did this wooden stick come from!?” Is the prop team messing with something!? ”

”Lu Jin, straightening his crooked hat, glanced around the studio and saw Wu Guang looking at him in fear.” What the fuck did you do! Why was the stick so heavy! If anything happens, don't even think of staying in the crew anymore! ” Lu Jin spat on the ground, ”Unlucky!”

Sister Chen from the prop team quickly came over to smooth things over, ”Director Lu, don't be angry. This is all a misunderstanding. It must be some newcomer who got mixed up. It has nothing to do with Group Wu. ”

”This is …” Lu Jin's eyebrows creased. Hurry up and find someone to send to the hospital, let's continue filming! ”

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. The entire room was snow-white and the heating was on full blast. Even Ye Ning Xiao, who had already taken off her costume and was wearing only a single garment, could not feel the cold.

”Xiaoxiao, you're finally awake!” Nie Xiaoxiao noticed that Ye Ning Xiao was staring at the incandescent light bulb in the middle of the hospital ward in a daze. She couldn't help but wave it in front of her eyes. Ye Ningxiao slowly spat out a few words, ”This place is, a hospital?” Her throat was dry, her voice hoarse.

Nie Xiaoying pointed to the infusion bottle by the window, ”The hospital said your injury isn't serious, but you fainted because of hypoglycemia. ”Well, you're still hanging saltwater for you to quench your flames.”

Ye Xiao stared at Nie Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the bedside. She was still wearing the clothes worn by the palace maids. The red lines in her eyes were very obvious, clearly indicating that she hadn't had a good rest. As she held Nie Xiaoxiao's hand, Ye Ningxiao was somewhat touched. ”Xiaoying, thank you. We've only known each other for a few days. Even if you didn't go to the set, you still came to take care of me.”

Their hands were tightly clenched. The warmth from Ye Ning Xiao's palm reached Nie Xiaoying. Her heart heated up. ”Why are you saying this? I can only be a lackey in my entire life. However, Xiaoxiao, you have talent. You must persevere!” Someone really cared about encouraging her, except for her parents' first time.

Nie Xiaoying loosened her grip on Ye Ningxiao's hand, ”I wonder which important person has come. Right now, there are bodyguards everywhere in the corridor. The blood bank is in an emergency and all the doctors and nurses have been pulled to donate their blood.” Director Lu said that he would arrange a play for you tomorrow. However, the injuries on your body are still not fully healed. Nie Xiaoying sighed, grabbed some change and opened the door.

When Nie Xiaoxiao left, she forgot to close the door behind her. The chilly wind blew in through the gap, causing Ye Xiao to tighten the blanket on his body. ”Pa Da”, the moment Nie Xiaoying opened the door, she bumped into someone, and the change in her hands scattered all over the floor.

Nie Xiaoying grumbled in dissatisfaction, ”What's going on?!” ”I don't know …” The latter half of the sentence stuck in her throat.
