Into the Night, Jiao Jiao Gets Kissed by a Business Tycoon

She felt his palms moving around her body, every touch making her tremble unceasingly.

"Umm..."

His kisses were fervent, passionate, as if he wanted to melt her into his own bloodstream.

After Cheng Yi had "eaten his fill," Xinan had already passed out from exhaustion.

Cheng Yi picked up the coat that had fallen on the ground, covered Xinan with it, and then gently lifted her in his arms, headed straight for the second floor.

After giving Xinan a quick bath in the bathroom, Cheng Yi placed her on the room's large bed, tucked her in with the blanket, his movements light, not wanting to wake her.

After all this, Cheng Yi then stood up and walked into the bathroom.

The next day, Xinan slept in successfully, waking up after eight o'clock.

Xinan hurriedly got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs.

At this time, Cheng Yi was leisurely eating breakfast at the dining table while flipping through a magazine, looking much more composed in comparison to the flustered Xinan.

As Xinan was about to dash towards the door with her bag in hand, she heard Cheng Yi's deep voice, "I have already asked for leave from the crew for you."

Xinan turned around, visibly annoyed, "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow, "You didn't ask me."

Xinan was left speechless by his retort.

"Come and eat breakfast."

"Oh."

Xinan looked at the steaming buns on the table and couldn't help but pick up a meat bun with her chopsticks, taking a bite. It was delicious.

"Where did you buy this bun? It's so good."

Cheng Yi took a sip of milk from his cup, "You can find out after you finish eating."

"Oh."

But by the time Xinan finished her breakfast, she had already forgotten about the bun.

Although Cheng Yi had already requested leave for her, Xinan decided she still needed to go to the set; she really couldn't bear the thought of delaying the filming schedule of the entire crew because of her absence.

Xinan was at the doorway, about to change her shoes, when a voice came from above, "Are you taking a taxi?"

"Mhm." Her car had been in an accident, crashing into the guardrails at the side of the road. It had been towed for repairs, and she hadn't yet had the chance to drive it back.

"Take my car."

Before Xinan could respond, a set of car keys was tossed to her.

Xinan knew that Cheng Yi's garage stored many cars, all of them luxury vehicles worth millions.

Xinan glanced at the keys, thinking to herself that driving this car might be a bit too flashy.

But Cheng Yi didn't give her a chance to speak, handing her the keys and then walking into the living room with his hands in his pockets.

Xinan sighed and reluctantly accepted the car keys.

Perhaps due to last night's activities, Xinan felt sore all over while filming on set that day, and her waist ached whenever she stood for too long, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

It wasn't until lunch break that Xinan finally had the chance to catch her breath.

"Sister Xinan, lunch is here," Meng Qiu approached.

Suddenly feeling a pain in her stomach, Xinan said, "You go ahead and eat, I need to use the restroom."

"Okay, then hurry back, or the food will get cold."

"Mm-hmm."

Xinan held her abdomen as she made her way to the crew's public toilet, but after a long while, she wasn't successful, and yet her stomach still hurt a lot.

Xinan frowned, and just as she was about to pull up her trousers, she saw a swathe of blood on her underwear.

Her period had started!

Xinan felt a headache coming on but realized that it was indeed time for her period; she had just been too busy lately and completely forgot about it.

Now, she didn't have any sanitary pads with her, and she hadn't brought her phone, what should she do? She couldn't just go out like this, right? But what if her pants got stained too, that'd be too embarrassing!

Just when Xinan was feeling troubled, the sound of a toilet flushing suddenly came from the restroom.

Xinan's face brightened as she called out, "Is there anyone outside? My period has started, do you have a sanitary pad on you?"

Since it was a women's restroom, Xinan didn't feel embarrassed, as it was a perfectly natural occurrence.

About a minute later, a sanitary pad was pushed through the gap under the door.

After changing the pad, Xinan opened the door and saw that the person outside hadn't left. She was somewhat surprised and said, "Thank you so much just now."

If it hadn't been for her, she might have really been embarrassed.

Hearing the voice, the girl turned around and looked at Xinan with a slight smile, "No need to thank me, Sister Xinan."

Seeing that it was Lin Wei, Xinan showed a hint of shock, "Lin Wei, what are you doing here?"

Lin Wei smiled, "I'm currently an extra on the set of 'It's You'."

"Then how come I haven't seen you?" The shooting had been going on for about a week, and Xinan didn't recall seeing Lin Wei at all.

Lin Wei said, "I'm just playing a minor character, not much screen time."

Back when Xinan was in college, she too would take on some gigs, playing small roles, but it had helped her accumulate a lot of experience for her later acting career.

It was evident that Lin Wei was working very hard.

Xinan walked up to Lin Wei and gently touched her hair, "I believe that the hard work and efforts you're making now will one day pay off."

Xinan could feel her determination; as long as she kept working hard, she would make her breakthrough sooner or later.

"Mm-hmm, I'll work hard." This was the first time Lin Wei had heard someone say these words to her.

But Lin Wei clearly knew that success wasn't as easy as imagined, just like her current role—it wasn't even big enough to count as the third female lead, but she had gotten it after several auditions.

After saying goodbye to Lin Wei, Xinan found Meng Qiu.

"Sister Xinan, what took you so long?" Meng Qiu's lunchbox was already half eaten.

Xinan slowly sat down, her complexion a bit pale, "My period came."

"Ah?" Meng Qiu asked, "Did you bring 'that' with you?"

Xinan opened her mouth to say, "I didn't, but I ran into a friend in the restroom."

"That's good then."

"Meng Qiu, do you have an extra pair of pants?" Xinan looked up at her, expecting that there might be stains on hers as well.

"Did you get a stain?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'll go buy you a pair." Where could one find spare pants on a movie set, and even if there were, they might not fit properly.

After thinking about it, Xinan agreed, "Okay, then."

Meng Qiu sped up the pace of her eating.

"Take your time," Xinan said helplessly. She was in a hurry, but not that much of a hurry.

Meng Qiu chuckled, "I'm done eating."

She finished eating, grabbed her phone, and headed outside.

Meng Qiu was quite efficient and quickly returned with a purchased pair of pants and also bought a pair of underwear.

After Xinan changed her pants, she immediately felt more comfortable and breathed a sigh of relief.

During the afternoon's shoot, Xinan saw Lin Wei and realized that she was playing the younger sister of the second female lead, which was why their scenes didn't overlap much and she hadn't seen Lin Wei before.

After they finished shooting, Xinan called out to Lin Wei, "Are you heading back to school now?"

Lin Wei nodded.

Xinan smiled and said, "Alright, let me give you a ride."

Luming Academy and the Film Academy were in the same direction, so it was on the way.

Lin Wei hesitated and then replied, "There's no need, it would be too much trouble for you."

"It's no trouble at all; I'm heading that way anyhow. Consider it a thank-you for your timely help today."

"Alright, then."
