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.
Ye Ningxiao looked up and saw a group of grim looking black-clothed people filing in from outside. They wore a uniform black suit, and all of them had the same haircut. Even they were about the same height. These people stood in two rows at the door of the hospital ward. Nie Xiaoying was pulled out of the room by the nurse who was following behind the man in black.
You are Ye Ningxiao?" His tall figure slowly walked in from outside the room. He had a clean haircut, a sharp face, a high nose bridge, and a pair of dark eyes that were as cold as spring water. Ye Ning recognized him at a glance.
Fang An raised his chin as he looked at Ye Ningxiao, who was lying on the sickbed. His gaze fell on the needle in her hand. Even though he was talking to Ye Ningxiao, he did not even glance at her.
In his previous life, Fang Anwang was like a dark horse galloping across the border. His company stood out among many entertainment companies, becoming a heavyweight in the entertainment world in one fell swoop. After Cheng Ming, Fang Anwang became the target of many female artists. His appearance, family background and ability attracted a large number of suitors.
"Yes." Ye Ningxiao nodded and, without showing any signs of weakness, met Fang AnWang's gaze. However, she was caught off guard as she fell into a dark abyss. Her heartbeat quickened.
"You also have RH-negative blood? If you are willing to donate your blood, the Fang family is willing to pay twenty times the price of the black market to pay you a cheque. " A light flickered in Fang AnWang's eyes. The surrounding black-clothed people all lowered their heads. It was so quiet that it was as if they did not exist.
Ye Ning Xiao pondered for a moment. If it was anyone else who wanted her to donate blood, she would definitely reject it. Now that she was injured and in a hurry to go back to filming in order to get more scenes to play out, donating blood would definitely affect her mental state. However, this was brought up by Fang Anwang. Thinking of his identity as a future entertainment powerhouse, this was a great opportunity to form a relationship with him —
She rejected Fang Anhui's suggestion, "No." Fang Anwang stared in shock. Even the nurse wanted to say something, but she looked at Fang Anlang and swallowed her words.
"I don't want your check. Since it's for saving my life, I'm willing to donate my blood."
Fang Anhui gave Ye Ningxiao a deep look. His deep eyes were like a black hole that could captivate others. Ye Ningxiao avoided Fang Anhui's gaze and said, "However, I still need to hurry back to the production crew to perform. I hope that arrangements can be made as soon as possible."
It was at this moment that Fang AnWang noticed the jade-green costume folded at the foot of the bed. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his last words contained a hint of ridicule. "Oh, so you're an actor?"
The figure in front of her suddenly grew larger. Ye Ning Xiao could not help but sit up straight. The man's ancient dragon perfume made her nose itchy. A pair of black eyes stared at her from less than one finger away. Do you know who I am? "
A fiery red blush appeared on Ye Ningxiao's face. In her previous life, she had seen countless men, so how could she still feel embarrassed? She coughed lightly and shook her head. "I don't."
Fang AnWang looked at her steadily. "If you are willing, I can give you whatever role you want as the exchange for this blood donation."
Ye Ningxiao's heart stirred as she pulled the edges of the spotlessly white bedsheet into a ball before slowly releasing it. Ye Ningxiao's lips parted slightly as her gaze fell upon the empty wall. "I don't care who you are or who needs my help. As long as you have the strength, I will do it." Think of it as making up for the mistakes you made in your previous life. " The last sentence was what Ye Ning Xiao said to herself.
Nie Xiaoying looked worriedly at the pale Ye Ningxiao, "Xiaoxiao, are you really planning to head back now?" She was somewhat puzzled. She had clearly been injured, but why did Ye Ningxiao still offer blood to strangers? But now, it was fine. She, who had a bad complexion, seemed to have taken a serious illness.
Ye Ningxiao nodded and put on the heavy clothes that Nie Xiaoying had brought back to the crew, "I want to seize every chance I get. I've been running around for so long and finally got a director to take a fancy to me. This little injury is nothing. "
"Xiaoxiao, you're so beautiful and your acting skills aren't bad. You'll definitely be popular in the future." After saying that, Nie Xiaoying looked around at her surroundings, then leaned close to Xiao Xiao and whispered, "You know about An Lu, right? When I went back to get my clothes today, I heard that she was having an affair with the director, who even arranged for her to play the role of concubine. Anlu is not as beautiful as you.
In her previous life, Ye Ningxiao had never interacted with Anlu. She only knew that Anlu had been added by the director several times after she took the initiative to request an audition for the palace maid's mistake. However, she never expected that in this life, she would snatch the part of Anlu that would cause her to lose the opportunity to fall in love with the director.
An Lu and Wu Guang whispered to each other in Ye Ning Xiao's mind, and she thought of the item changed to a wooden stick. Her eyes flashed, and she tentatively asked, "Where's the item set's Wu Guang?" Isn't he pretty good with An Lu? "
"Wu Guang has been scolded by Director Lu ever since you were beaten up. The investors were very dissatisfied with the incident, so Director Lu suppressed the matter because of Wu Guang. Otherwise, he would have been fired a long time ago. I heard that Anlu went to find Director Lu and told him something that day. " Nie Xiaoying had always gossiped about it. She only heard about it when she returned to the crew.
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully. Nie Xiaoying had been whispering to her that it must have been An Xin who had revealed her idea. Ye NingXiao smiled but did not say anything.
