Jin Lan lowered her head and took a sip of water. She did not dare to drink too much, afraid that her face would swell up when she was on camera later.

“Sister Jin Lan, this recliner is for you.” Xiao Bao’s assistant ran over and spread out the recliner for her.

“Xiao Bao doesn’t have any night scenes. Why are you still here?” Jin Lan looked at her strangely.

“Brother Lu asked me to come over. He asked me to stay up all night with you. He’ll follow Xiao Bao the whole time during the day tomorrow, so I don’t have to do anything. We’re just taking shifts.” The assistant was usually in the studio and was temporarily transferred to accompany Xiao Bao. She smiled. “No wonder I didn’t see Brother Lu going out on dates. It turns out that he hid you here secretly.”

Jin Lan did not expect Lu Mingjue to ask his assistant to help her. However, it was indeed much more convenient with an assistant around. After all, the actors and actresses were all focused on filming. There were too many people at the event location, so it was not convenient for her to do many things.

She smiled at the assistant’s teasing. “Thank you.”

“It’s no trouble. It’s what I should do. Sit down and rest. Just let me know if you need anything.”

“Thank you.” Jin Lan’s eyes flickered.

The arrival of this assistant really helped Jin Lan a lot.

Tonight, the character she was playing had a scene in the forest. It was a scene where she was drenched in the rain. She had to be splashed with water repeatedly. The water would come from the sprinkler truck nearby. There were several close-ups alone.

With this assistant around, she could hand Jin Lan a towel and hot water in time so that she could focus on her work.

If she was alone, she might not even be able to drink hot water.

Even so, the autumn night air was cold. It was still uncomfortable to feel cold all over.

After a few hours of filming in the rain, Jin Lan was exhausted.

The production team made ginger tea for all the actors and actresses.

The assistant brought Jin Lan a cup of it. “Sister Jin Lan, drink it while it’s hot.”

Jin Lan was wrapped in a towel and holding the ginger tea. Her entire body was trembling as she sneezed several times in a row.

“Will you catch a cold?” the assistant asked. “Will you be resting during the day tomorrow?”

“No, it just so happens that my scenes are changed to tomorrow. My scenes tomorrow are connected to tonight’s, so after two hours of rest, I have to continue filming during the day.”

The assistant said in surprise, “That’s too harsh.”

“It’s not like this every day. There’s nothing we can do if work needs to be rushed occasionally,” Jin Lan said with a smile. “I’ll go back and take a shower.

I’ll come over later and wait to shoot the sunrise.”

“Okay, then take care of yourself.” The assistant stood up to pack the things.

Xiao Bao’s scene in the morning was with Jin Lan.

As they had to shoot the sunrise, he woke up early to change his clothes and put on makeup.

The director said to Lu Mingjue, “Mr. Mingjue, this child is really talented and willing to take on difficulties. Are you planning to train him well after signing him?”

“Not really. He’s just here to play.”

“He’s so dedicated to his work. It’s really rare for a child to be like this.”

Lu Mingjue looked around and saw Jin Lan walking over from afar. He saw her go to the dressing room. He frowned. “Jin Lan has scenes to shoot?”

“That’s right. Jin Lan will be filming a scene with Xiao Bao. We’re just waiting for the sunrise to shoot a natural scene.’

“Didn’t she have night scenes? She’s filming both day and night?”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s all because of timing. Sometimes, when actors encounter such situations, they can only make do. It’s not like this every day.”

Lu Mingjue glanced at the sky outside. The sky was not bright yet, and it was the darkest before dawn.

After a while, it would be morning.

He thought of a woman who once worked so hard for her future and career.

However, she… did not succeed.

He lowered his head slightly.

Jin Lan came out after putting on makeup and sneezed a few times in a row. The tissue box beside her never left her side.

The director asked, “Jin Lan, do you have a cold?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Ah-choo, I can still hold on. Ah-choo…” Jin Lan immediately said, “I’m just feeling a little under the weather. It won’t affect me.”

“Okay, let’s get ready to start.” The director had to think of the set, which cost him a lot of manpower and resources. Since Jin Lan said that there was no problem, he did not want to waste any more time.

Jin Lan held Xiao Bao’s hand. “Xiao Bao, let’s go film. I’ll try not to get too close to you later, lest I infect you with a cold.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to rest?” Xiao Bao asked.

“There’s really no need. It’s just a small problem.”

Lu Mingjue frowned slightly. He picked up the notice and took a look. Only then did he realize that Jin Lan had filmed all the scenes in the rain last night.

He took Xiao Bao’s bottle of water, picked up Jin Lan’s backpack from the side, poured her some hot water, and followed her with a recliner.

Jin Lan’s assistant had yet to get up.

On the other hand, Qiao Weiyang called to ask about Xiao Bao.

“Let me show you. Xiao Bao is very obedient. Today’s scenes are early in the morning. They’ve just started.” Lu Mingjue aimed the camera of his phone in Xiao Bao and Jin Lan’s direction.

The two of them were filming.

Qiao Weiyang didn’t say much and just looked at Xiao Bao seriously.

She was worried that Xiao Bao would not be able to adapt to outdoor scenes, but she did not expect him to adapt well in the past two days.

It could be seen from the camera that Xiao Bao’s performance was better and smoother than before.

She smiled, but she keenly realized that the focus of the video was gradually shifting away from Xiao Bao and moving to Jin Lan.

Although the two of them were still in frame, the person holding the phone had shifted the focus ever so slightly.

Others might not be able to tell, and perhaps the person holding the cell phone might not be able to realize this either. However, with Qiao Weiyang’s sharpness, she quickly noticed it.

She smiled knowingly and said, “Then go ahead with your work. Since Xiao Bao is quite obedient, I’ll hang up first.”

“Okay.” Lu Mingjue turned off the video call.

But he was still looking in that direction, his gaze not moving.

Two hours later, the scene was finally over.

Lu Mingjue strode over and picked Xiao Bao up. “Are you tired? Do you want to eat something?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bao immediately nodded.

Children got hungry quickly, so Lu Mingjue handed some food to him.

Jin Lan was a little dizzy. When she saw that her recliner was also there, she guessed that Lu Mingjue had moved it over. She did not bother to thank him and immediately sat down.

She leaned back in the recliner and felt some energy return.

She was a little exhausted. She stayed up all night, caught a cold, and was lacking sleep. It was difficult for her to hold on, but she had to.

Realizing that someone was calling her, she forced her eyes open and saw a palm stretching out in front of her. There were two pills on the palm.

Her eyelids were a little heavy and hot. Finally, she could see Lu Mingjue clearly..
