Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 419
Chapter 419: Heard You Got Shelved (24)
When Chen Ziyi woke up in the morning, he noticed that Yu Jingchen’s complexion looked even worse.
He couldn’t help but say, “You might want to ask Director Wang for a day off. Your face looks awful! Where did you go last night? You didn’t get into a fight, did you?” He thought for a moment, then added, “But that doesn’t seem like you at all.”
Yu Jingchen smiled good-naturedly, “Thanks for your concern, Brother Chen. It’s nothing serious.”
Seeing that Yu Jingchen was still a rookie, Chen Ziyi figured asking for leave might not be easy, so he didn’t push further.
When they arrived at the set, the makeup artist looked at Yu Jingchen with concern.
“Xiao Yu, are you alright? Are you sick? You look pale.”
Yu Jingchen smiled warmly.
“Thanks for worrying, Sister Fang. I just caught a bit of a chill last night. I hope it won’t affect filming today, so I’ll have to trouble you with the makeup.”
The makeup artist replied, “No need to be so polite, it’s no big deal. But if you’re really feeling unwell today, just let Director Wang know. I’m sure he’ll understand.”
Yu Jingchen nodded with a smile.
Shen Mubai didn’t have many scenes to film that day.
As she watched the lead actor on set, she felt like something was off.
He was usually able to get the scenes right in one or two takes, but today, he was messing up more than usual.
Fortunately, Director Wang had a good impression of him, otherwise, he might have gotten scolded already.
After thinking it over, Shen Mubai decided to check on him.
Yu Jingchen had just finished a scene, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Seeing this, Shen Mubai hurried over.
“Do you want some water and a break?”
When Yu Jingchen heard her voice, he quickly looked up.
It was only then that Shen Mubai noticed his pale complexion, which couldn’t be completely hidden by the makeup.
Her eyes widened slightly.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Yu Jingchen smiled sheepishly, his eyes still bright.
“It might just be the heat.”
Shen Mubai was skeptical.
“Even if it’s hot, sweat doesn’t pour like that.”
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and touched his forehead.
Feeling how cool his skin was, Shen Mubai was shocked.
“Why are you so cold? Are you sick?”
Yu Jingchen bit his lip and hesitated.
“It’s nothing.”
Shen Mubai, now annoyed, said, “You’re drenched in cold sweat, and you say it’s nothing?”
Yu Jingchen smiled again, but to others, it was clearly a weak one.
Thinking hard, Shen Mubai suddenly asked, “Is this because of last night’s hotpot?”
Yu Jingchen quickly denied it.
“Sister Xiaoxing, no, it’s not that.”
Shen Mubai didn’t believe him.
She looked at his face and asked, “You can’t eat spicy food, can you?”
Under her scrutinizing gaze, Yu Jingchen had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
Shen Mubai was frustrated.
“Why didn’t you say something if you can’t eat spicy food?”
Feeling guilty, she blamed herself.
“It’s my fault. I assumed anyone who eats hotpot can handle spice.”
Yu Jingchen lowered his lashes, his voice soft.
“It’s my fault for not making it clear.”
Shen Mubai didn’t blame him at all.
She figured he hadn’t wanted to ruin her fun, and that thought made her feel even more guilty.
Grabbing Yu Jingchen’s hand, she said, “Come on, I’m taking you to explain things to Director Wang.”
Yu Jingchen hesitated.
“Isn’t that a bit much?”
Shen Mubai replied, “It’s fine. We don’t have many scenes today anyway, and if you don’t take medicine and rest, you’ll collapse soon.”
