The Secret of Second Marriage

Shen Xing stayed with me all night.

In the early morning, he sat on a low stool in the ward and fell asleep by the head of the hospital bed.

The doctor came to check on me, took my temperature with a thermometer, and told me that my fever had subsided, but I was a little weak. He prescribed some medicine and said I could be discharged.

I said thank you, doctor.

The doctor glanced at Shen Xing, who had stayed with me all night, and suddenly said, "You should be thanking your boyfriend. He brought you here last night and stayed with you all night. He must really like you, right?"

He's not my boyfriend, he's my brother.

I say.

The doctor looked at us in surprise, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misjudged you."

It's okay.

I say.

The doctor finished his rounds and left...

Shen Xingye stood up and stretched.

His skin is really fair, and his features are exquisite and handsome; his looks are simply out of this world.

I took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

Shen Xing was no longer the vulnerable person he was last night. With his hands in his pockets, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Man. Just be my little brother."

I went to the hospital lobby on the first floor to pay the fees, picked up the medicine at the pharmacy, completed the discharge settlement procedures, and then left the hospital with Shen Xing.

I originally planned to continue filming and attend events early this morning.

When the director heard that I was sick, he gave me half a day off, saying, "Don't push yourself too hard. Go back and rest first. Man, you don't have any scenes to film this morning, so you don't need to come to the set to help. Just leave things here to the crew."

Go back to your hotel and get some sleep. You'll be starting filming again this afternoon. Let me tell you, the producer and supervisor initially doubted whether you, as a newcomer, could handle the role.

However, they recently came to see your performance and some clips of your acting, and they were quite satisfied, even praising your acting!

"Thank you, director."

I was deeply moved.

Keep it up, let your results speak for themselves.

The director said.

"Thank you, director. I will continue to work hard."

I say.

We exchanged pleasantries for a while, then hung up the phone.

Shen Xing accompanied me to breakfast, and then received a phone call and rushed off to attend a scheduled event.

He said, "Sister, I'll keep you company next time."

I know he's a popular male celebrity now, and he participates in some commercial activities and fan meetings. This time, his assistant told him that he was going to film a GG (Girls' Love) promotional video.

He waved and made a phone call. His driver, assistant, and his team had already driven over to pick him up in a black van worth millions. It looked quite high-end and understated.

Shen Xing got into the car by the roadside and waved to me.

I waved to him and said, "Good luck!"

In the morning sunlight, Shen Xing got into his private car to go take a picture of a guy.

He is really busy.

I bought steamed buns and soy milk, had a simple breakfast, and then went back to the hotel to rest.

When I returned to my hotel room, Mr. Jiang sent me a WeChat message saying that he missed me, but he was very busy with a project and couldn't leave. He said he would come to see me this weekend.

I said, "I miss you too, Mr. Jiang."

President Jiang asked me how filming was going lately, and whether it was very tiring.

I said, "It's fine. I have a lot of scenes to film every day. Sometimes I have to get up at three or four in the morning to do my makeup, then go to film and give announcements."

There were many teachers on set who taught me how to act, how to stand, and how to look at the camera.

The director was great too; he even gave me acting instructions. Although I'm a newbie, I'm willing to learn anything, and I learn very quickly!

Mr. Jiang chatted with me for a while, then he had to go meet with a client and attend to his business.

We hung up the phone quickly.

I have my own things to do, and he has his own things to do. We are both mature and rational middle-aged people, and that's fine.

At my age, I'm no longer used to loving someone to the point of obsession, like in those melodramatic romance dramas I watched when I was young, where you couldn't bear to leave the other person for a moment and wanted to stick to them like glue.

I appreciate simple, honest, and rational love more.

I checked the time on my phone. Today is Wednesday, and Mr. Jiang will be coming to visit me in two more days.

To be honest, I don't value love that much anymore. I won't give everything for any man. Before loving someone else, I want to love myself more.

I made myself a cup of coffee in my room, sat by the window, and continued to memorize my lines while drinking the coffee. No one knew how hard I was trying, how hard I was trying to escape my fate and situation.

I really want to become a low-key yet talented actress.

I ordered some takeout for lunch, took a short nap, and then headed to the film set around 2 p.m. to get my makeup done and continue filming.

Filming at night on set is another late-night shoot, often taking place in the early hours of the morning. Many times, we're not actually filming, but rather waiting for our scenes to be filmed.

This scene might only take half an hour to film, but if we wait, it will take half a day, and he can't go anywhere while he's on set with makeup on.

After I finished filming last night, I unexpectedly saw Shen Xing on set again.

He also has scenes tonight, but he finished filming early and is waiting for me.

I finished filming at 2 a.m., but I still didn't feel sleepy. I was like I was on steroids, extremely focused and enthusiastic.

Shen Xing sighed softly, "Sister Man, don't you get tired? You work so hard every day. You just had a fever and went to the hospital last night, and you're filming again tonight, until almost midnight. Do you need my help? I can ask the crew for a day off."

"No need, I want to focus on filming."

I proudly said, "I am very satisfied to have a career. Do you know how difficult it is to make a film?"

So many top graduates from the Beijing Film Academy flock to various film crews for auditions, yet they don't even get a chance to play a minor role. As a newcomer, I'm already very lucky.

Shen Xing nodded: "You have a really good attitude."

"Whether you're happy or unhappy, you'll still have to live one day. Why make yourself so unhappy? I'm actually quite open-minded about it."

I say.

When a woman reaches 30, she gains not only age, but also experience and wisdom. I find that I am no longer as impulsive as before. I am calm, serious, and quiet in my speech, actions, and demeanor.

I really like how I am right now.

Shen Xing said, "Man, how about some late-night snacks tonight? My treat."

"I'll treat you."

I said, "Thank you for coming to the hospital with me last night. Shen Xing, I know you're very good to me, but I have to be realistic and tell you, we can only ever be friends! I don't want to hold you back!"

"We are good friends."

Shen Xing said, "What's wrong? Are you afraid your boyfriend will be jealous? You have such a great younger brother?"

"Stop joking, that's not funny at all, really! My boyfriend called, he's coming back to visit me on set this weekend. I'm thinking of buying him a gift tomorrow."

I didn't answer his question, but spoke very seriously.

Shen Xing's expression suddenly became uncertain, but she eventually let it go, smiled, and said, "That's good too, so you won't be lonely filming here alone. But let's go get something to eat first, sis."

"it is good"

I smiled.

After finishing work, Shen Xing and I went to eat hot pot. Since I had just recovered from a fever, Shen Xing specially ordered a clear broth hot pot, along with some sliced ​​lamb and beef, so that I could eat more meat and replenish my protein.

I buried myself in my food.

I asked Shen Xing if the photoshoot for GG went smoothly today.

Shen Xing paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, it went quite smoothly. My agent lent me a GG endorsement, and I went to the video call today. Tomorrow I'm going to attend a luxury brand's gala event, and I heard that many celebrities will be there."

Man, my work schedule is extremely busy these past few days, so I probably won't be able to spend time with you.

"It's okay, career comes first. Besides, I don't need you to keep me company. I'm a strong, independent woman; I can take good care of myself! You need to take good care of yourself too!"

I say.

"Um"

Shen Xing nodded.

We had just finished our hotpot meal when his assistant called, urging him to go home and rest, as he had a gig to attend the next day.

For Shen Xing, this movie was just a cameo role…

His real focus now is still on idol dramas. I heard that it's easy to become a hit overnight by filming idol dramas.

I am happy for him.

After finishing my meal, I went to pay the bill, but the receptionist said that Shen Xing had already paid.

I still insisted on transferring the money for the meal to Shen Xing.

It seems that Shen Xing and I have really reverted to a friendship. He calls me "sister," and I call him "brother." After we finished eating, we went back to our respective hotels and went to sleep.

Shen Xing indeed asked the crew for two days off, and went to another city to participate in an event on the second day.

I heard from the crew that Shen Xing is already showing the potential to become a popular celebrity. She is being heavily promoted by their agency, and as a newcomer, she is receiving a lot of attention and endorsements.

The Gucci bag he photographed yesterday was a Gucci ambassador's Gucci bag...

I never dreamed that the little boy who came to my house to tutor my daughter would be the same person.

Now that he's entered the entertainment industry, he's surprisingly popular and has even landed a Gucci endorsement deal.

I feel that Shen Xing will have a bright future, and I sincerely wish him all the best.

Luckily, I didn't get together with him. Otherwise, once he became famous, with so many rumors and gossip, it would be so difficult to even see him.

Indeed, handsome boys are only suitable for admiring from afar, not for getting close to...

As for me and President Jiang, we'll just have to wait and see.

When I'm not filming these past few days, I've been staying on set, watching how the veteran actors perform. Although I'm just a newcomer with no reputation, I still believe that one day I will become a Best Actress, not just a popular one, but one with real talent.

The next day, I was going to film a scene where I fell into the water. In this scene, I was thinking of jumping into the water because I was feeling hopeless.

I filmed this scene of falling into the water from morning until afternoon, taking takes and doing it again and again. The river water in early spring was still very cold, chilling to the bone.

But in order to shoot a perfect shot, I kept jumping into the water until the director was satisfied and yelled "cut." Only then did I sit on the ground, soaking wet. No one handed me a towel, so I had to struggle to get up, go to the dressing room to change clothes, dry my hair, and then get back to filming the next scene.
