Every time she got her period on the first day, she would be in excruciating pain. If she couldn't stand it any longer, she would take a painkiller. She got up and tried to look for Mr. Xi's medicine box, but as soon as she moved, Xi Xiangdong sat up.
He turned on the desk lamp at hand, pushed her back to lie on the bed, and said, "If it's not convenient for you to move, I'll go ahead."
Under the dim light, his back looked particularly upright. Pei Xiao held his stomach and sat obediently on the bed.
After a while, he brought the painkillers and a cup of honey water in his hand.
"I don't have brown sugar at home, so I made some honey and I'll make do with it."
She nodded and took the cup with her hand. It was neither cold nor hot, but just warm. The warm liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach, and it was sweet.
It would take a while for the medicine to take effect. She was afraid that she would disturb him by tossing and turning, so she whispered, "How about I go sleep in the guest room."
Xi Xiangdong said nothing, turned the lamp around, lay down beside her, and held her in his arms.
She was startled when his big hand entered her clothes. She was about to refuse, but found that he just stopped his hand there and did not move it. His warm and dry palm covered her cold lower abdomen, rubbing it slowly.
With.
The warmth seemed to flow through her whole body, gradually warming her cramped lower abdomen, and she calmed down.
The side effects of the painkillers soon made her eyelids tremble, but his hand was still pressing there slowly.
She said drowsily: "I'm fine. You can go to bed early."
He seemed to respond, but did not let go, only urging her to sleep quickly.
The pain gradually disappeared, and Pei Xiao could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, it was like cuddling against a stove, with warmth surrounding her body.
When she woke up the next day, her face was a little swollen. Xi Xiangdong had already washed up and was getting dressed in front of the mirror. She leaned in front of the mirror and took a look at her swollen eyeballs, and took a breath: "How can you see people like this?"
Xi Xiangdong turned back and touched her face: "If you don't feel well, don't go to the company today."
Pei Xiao was so happy that she lay back, just as her whole body was sore and weak and she was too lazy to move.
She remembered the urgent phone call last night, so she asked: "Did something happen to the company? You came over so early."
Thinking of this, Xi Xiangdong's face suddenly darkened in the mirror, he reached out and touched his small red lips, and asked in a cold voice: "Have you been seducing men again recently?"
"Ah?" Xi Xiangdong's cold voice made her shiver, and she shrank into the quilt in horror: "I... didn't..."
Xi Xiangdong slipped her out with one hand: "If not, why would Gu Nanshun want to stop the performance for your life and death?"
"..."
Pei Xiao was stunned.
Gu Nanshun stopped acting for himself?
Xi Xiangdong continued to look at her coldly: "He said that if you can't play the female lead in this play, he won't play it either."
It was such a good show, it was a film that Universal invested in. In the end, the lead female lead killed each other, the second male lead voluntarily resigned, and in the end, only the lead male lead, who was borrowed from another company, still stood firm?
What a joke!
Pei Xiao bit his lip for a long time: "I didn't ask him to do this."
"Nonsense." He gave her a cold look, "If you knew how to borrow a knife to kill someone, you wouldn't have been treated so badly on the set."
"Borrow a knife?" Pei Xiao scratched his forehead, "Is Gu Nanshun my knife?"
It would be easier to hope that her stupid brain could figure out the stakes. It would be easier to play the harp to a cow.
"What a fool." He finally concluded coldly, "Don't get involved in this matter blindly. Just trust me and leave it to me. You won't suffer any loss..."
