Chapter 653 - 662: In Full View (8)
During their previous encounters, Yu Zexiao used a different technique almost every time, as if someone came upon a table full of dishes and insisted on tasting each one to find the most delicious.
It was Anning’s first time experiencing these things, and although a bit embarrassed, together with the man she loved, discovering new methods each time— seemed, perhaps, also quite pleasant?
-----------------------------
However, there was a slight hiccup this time.
It was something to do with Liu Chunmei.
She was part of the set crew, also known as a production service assistant or simply ’set affairs’, responsible for daily matters during the filming of a TV series. Their job focused on two main times: before filming began and after it ended, handling all sorts of miscellaneous tasks—all in all, the dogsbodies.
After filming was finished, they had to take on cleanup, packing up, and setting up for the next day’s shoot, which meant they usually returned late. Due to the excessive and varied nature of her work, once Xiaoliu came back, she usually needed to wash up and go straight to sleep. Jian Anning thought maybe she should wait for Xiaoliu to rest before sneaking out?
Because of the shadow cast by the previous incident with Zhao Ziyin at the hospital, if Xiaoliu didn’t fall asleep and kept bothering her, although embarrassing, she decided she would tell Xiaoliu the truth and then slip away under the cover of night!
But she couldn’t just leave without waiting for Xiaoliu to return. Even if she sent a text or called her, what if someone else saw or heard it? Liu Chunmei had leverage in their hands and, being naive, was easily frightened by Yu Zexiao into silence about their affairs. But it would be different with someone else!
She didn’t have to wait long before she noticed that Xiaoliu had indeed returned. However, her face was deathly pale, her expression distorted, her body curled up like a shrimp, and she was sweating profusely from her forehead.
