She blinked. Mr. Lu.

Take the medicine.

I cant. I have my own medicine. I still have to shoot later. Im afraid Ill get sleepy if I take this, she said in a daze.

This medicine wont make you feel sleepy.

Hearing this, Jin Lan reached out to grab the pills on his palm. When she touched his palm, it was a little warm. She randomly grabbed the pills and stuffed them into her mouth.

After the bottle of water was stuffed into her hand, she obediently took two sips.

Lu Mingjue raised his hand and touched her forehead.

Jin Lan suddenly sobered up. She felt the scorching heat of his skin stimulating the skin on her forehead.

A subtle and indescribable feeling stimulated her skin.

She sat up straight with a start and subconsciously pursed her lips.

You dont have a fever, Lu Mingjue said. Youre alright.

He pulled his hand away.

Jin Lan felt as if she had lost her support. Her mind went blank for a moment. She did not know if it was because the medicine had taken effect, but a few seconds later, she felt much more awake.

A packet of white chocolates was thrown into her arms.

Lu Mingjues voice followed. Youd better eat some. I dont want Xiao Bao to be affected by you later if you keep getting bad takes.

Jin Lan thought to herself, I didnt even get a bad take just now!

However, she was indeed worried that she would faint later. She opened the chocolate box and took a big bite. The chocolate was smooth and delicious. The sweet taste filled the tip of her tongue, and energy seemed to slowly infuse into her body.

When they started filming again, Jin Lan felt much better.

Her a.s.sistant arrived at the event location late and waited lazily at the side. She did not take the initiative to look for anything to do. When Jin Lan was filming, she sat and waited.

It was hard to tell if the work of an a.s.sistant or an actor was easier.

She looked around in boredom and met Lu Mingjues gaze. She was shocked and could not remember when she had offended Lu Mingjue.

The filming during the day finally ended in the afternoon.

Jin Lan sat in the recliner. She did not want to call it a day, mainly because she was too lazy to get up.

The others had already finished cleaning up, but she was still sitting there.

The a.s.sistant ran over and said, Jin Lan, its almost mealtime. Arent you leaving?

Go ahead and eat. Ill pack these things myself later.

The a.s.sistant left happily.

Lu Mingjue handed Xiao Bao to Liang Kang and walked toward Jin Lan. He stood beside her and bent down to pack Xiao Baos things.

Jin Lan opened her eyes and saw him tidying Xiao Baos backpack with his head lowered. Actually, the child did not have many things, but he was taking his time.

You dont have to wait for me. Ill go back by myself later, Jin Lan said.

Wait for you? Lu Mingjue looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. Cant you see that Im packing Xiao Baos things?

Taking advantage of the fact that her mind was in a daze, she did not have as many concerns as usual. Jin Lan said, Come on, youre waiting for me. Otherwise, why would you give me medicine and water? You also got up in the middle of the night and deliberately waited for me so that you could give me the mosquito repellent, no? It was very effective. When I was filming the night scene, no mosquitoes stung me.

Lu Mingjues expression darkened. I told you, I was worried that youd be in a bad state and affect Xiao Bao.

Do you like me, Lu Mingjue? Tell me, do you? Otherwise, why would you treat me like this? Jin Lan asked, staring boldly at his face.

She lay on the recliner and stared up at his chin. This man was really good-looking. From this angle, he was not inferior to other men. She was tempted for a moment.

She changed her position and continued to look at him. From this angle, she could not see his subtle expression and could not probe his true thoughts at all.

She didnt give up and asked, Do you like me?

This question made Lu Mingjue pause.

There was silence all around. All the equipment had been taken away.

Everyone was gone.

There was wind in the forest, rustling the branches.

These were the sounds of nature itself. The wind blew, and Lin Yue was quiet.

She raised her head and looked at him with slightly bright eyes.

Do you think Im alright? Do you like me and want to sign me?

She didnt get an answer to her question for a long time, so she shook her head.

Its a pity. I dont want to mix work and personal relations.h.i.+ps. Forget it, Mr. Lu. I wont sign under you as an artiste, nor will I ask for your resources. But if you really like me Do you think I should consider a personal relations.h.i.+p? Lu Mingjues fingers curled slightly.

She lay there, her face pale with fatigue. It did not hide her beauty, though. Her eyes darted around, but her true emotions could not be seen.

Lu Mingjue picked up Xiao Baos backpack and said, You might really have a fever. Get a doctor to prescribe you some medicine.

With that, he turned around and left.

Jin Lan closed her eyes. She felt very tired, and her eyelids were heavy. She just wanted to lie here and have a good sleep.

However, she still managed to get up. She used her willpower to support her legs and dragged the recliner back to her room.

Lu Mingjue received a call.

He picked it up, and the person on the other end of the line said, Mr. Mingjue, didnt you ask me to give Jin Lan a chance to be the second female lead in my next movie? You asked her to come over directly without auditioning, but she refused. Who is this actress? She has such a bad temper. You personally gave her such a good opportunity, but she doesnt want it!

If she doesnt want it, forget it. Give the role to someone else, Lu Mingjue said calmly.

Alright, then Ill choose someone else, the person on the other end of the line said.

Lu Mingjue put down the phone in boredom.

He returned to the camper van and spread himself out on the bed. He thought of that woman in the past. Back then, she didnt want any resources from him and insisted on fighting for herself. However, how could the path of the entertainment industry be so easy?

In the end, she was diagnosed with severe depression. After taking a large handful of anti-depressant pills, she drank a large bottle of wine and sent herself to her doom.

It was hard to say if she had deliberately taken that path or if it was the result of an unintentional mistake.

At that time, the two of them were just about to make their relations.h.i.+p official.

However, that womans departure still made him give up his career as a manager. It was not until Qiao Weiyang appeared that he resumed his old profession.

Perhaps it was because he was worried that Jin Lan would make the same mistake that he thought of giving her resources.

But now that he thought about it, what did she have to do with him?
