He was taking advantage of her predicament.
Song Xi gritted her teeth and tried to negotiate, "It's broad daylight..."
Lou Yu Ming narrowed his eyes and stood up abruptly, "Fine."
Song Xi suddenly panicked and hugged him from behind.
With a tone of resignation, she said, "Come... on!"
"No coercion."
He tried to pry her fingers from his waist, but they wouldn't budge.
This woman had a surprising amount of strength, or she wouldn't have been fighting a stalker in the middle of the night.
And won.
She truly had no idea what danger was.
Lou Yu Ming exerted a little more force, then turned and scanned her from head to toe.
After carrying her back last night, although he didn't engage physically, she started to curse.
Her mouth was like a chattering sparrow, spewing out "scumbag," "beast," "jerk," "degenerate," and finally, a curse word.
It completely stunned Lou Yu Ming.
He felt like those words were directed at him, but he had no proof.
After she got tired of scolding, she started crying.
From quiet sobs to wailing, it only took the time to change clothes.
Then she began to pity herself, lamenting how hard her life was and how exhausting acting was.
Women were indeed made of water.
Tears streamed down her face, not only soaking her clothes but also drenching him as she clung to his chest.
Lou Yu Ming held his forehead, feeling like he was raising a child.
Later, when he was treating her wounds, she became much more compliant.
She sat quietly on the bed.
When Lou Yu Ming asked her to extend her hand, she did so obediently.
She didn't cry out in pain at any point, as if she hadn't been the one losing control of her emotions just moments before.
Lou Yu Ming had never seen her emotions so openly expressed.
The last time was when she had a fever.
It seemed he shouldn't let her drink alcohol anymore.
"Lou..."
She covered her mouth and hiccuped. Her eyes and nose were red and swollen from crying.
She spread her arms.
Lou Yu Ming thought she was up to some new mischief and stared at her motionlessly.
To his surprise, she pouted in dissatisfaction, and two slurred words escaped her moist, pink lips.
"Hug... hug me."
Lou Yu Ming froze on the spot.
Before he could react, the woman, reeking of alcohol, softly nuzzled into his embrace.
Besides the smell of alcohol, she also had a faint, personal fragrance.
The two scents combined, and Lou Yu Ming, who was usually fastidious, found himself not repelled.
Holding the warm, soft jade tightly, he felt somewhat at a loss.
The anger he had felt earlier about her fighting had instantly extinguished.
Song Xi nuzzled into his chest like a kitten, smacking her lips.
"Hungry..."
Lou Yu Ming didn't hear her; he was still lost in his thoughts.
Perhaps... getting drunk occasionally wasn't so bad.
His thoughts snapped back.
Lou Yu Ming composed himself, his gaze fixed on the bandages on her, and pushed her away.
"Never mind."
"???"
Song Xi tried to salvage the situation, "I can do it!"
Lou Yu Ming coldly pulled out his clothes and turned to leave, "I'm not interested in patients."
"..."
Song Xi had spent the day in a state of anxiety.
There was no news online.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been exposed that an "eighteenth-tier actress was involved in a street brawl," she would have had to say goodbye to her acting career.
She didn't know if Lou Yu Ming had helped, but he always insisted on quid pro quo.
Since nothing had happened, Song Xi felt it was only right to relax.
Lu Chen Yu had sent her several WeChat messages, but her phone had died yesterday and shut down automatically.
Song Xi sent a message to reassure him. He hadn't replied, likely because he was filming.
Now, she was alone and with nothing to do.
She hadn't signed with an agency yet and had to find her own work.
Song Xi considered whether to return to school for a while; many directors cast their actors from universities.
Don't dismiss small or minor roles; any work was good.
Money was earned cent by cent, and she needed to earn more for her brother now, or he might not be able to stay at Yun Ji for long.
Song Xi didn't rush Ye Sen. Logically, a transfer should have been a simple matter for someone of Ye Sen's status. The delay for so many days was likely to test if she had kept her promise.
So, despite her urgency, Song Xi had to remain calm. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
At seven in the evening, the sleeping Song Xi received a call.
It was Ge Bai Tao.
"Xi Xi, you're trending!"
