Chapter 129: Medicine Pillow

Yun Xiangxiang now felt like she had sipped some hot water under the pearly winter moon. The warmth spread throughout her whole body.

“You must be really busy right now, Ah Mian. You don’t have to split your time to take care of me.

“I just moved my mouth. Everything there are just things that I asked someone else to prepare,” Song Mian’s tone was lighthearted and relaxed.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know how to respond to that. She knew that what he said was the truth.

But it was also not the case. If he wasn’t following her every move and knew about her health like the back of his hand, then how would Song Mian ask his men to prepare items that suited her. His care wasn’t as simple as moving his mouth.

“What happened?” Song Mian asked softly when he noticed Yun Xiangxiang’s silence.

Her fingertips moved unconsciously. “I was only feeling that you did a lot for me, but I seem to not know what I can do for you,” said Yun Xiangxiang.

A quiet laugh came in from the phone, “Love isn’t an equal exchange. Being able to do something for you is the biggest enjoyment for me. Your acceptance and enjoyment of my contribution is my joy too.”

Ripples spread over Yun Xiangxiang’s heart at this moment. It couldn’t calm down at all.

Song Mian didn’t even say a single “I love you” since they started seeing each other. However, his pickup lines were so overbearing, it should be a crime.

Not to mention that every single one of them struck the heart. That made Yun Xiangxiang defenseless.

Yun Xiangxiang had always thought that a man’s tongue was sly like a fox, but she still felt sweet when Song Mian said it.

She was like that kind of woman she used to despise: A stupid one who got drowned in love.

In her heart, she blindly felt that Song Mian’s every word was coming from his heart!

“Be careful when the day I don’t have you in my mind comes, Song Mian,” Yun Xiangxiang replied fiercely to hide her own feelings.

That made Song Mian laugh even more hypnotically, “I have never wanted you to have me in your mind.”

At the split second when Yun Xiangxiang was stunned, Song Mian’s gentle voice spoke again, “I only want you to have me in your heart.”

Having someone in your heart meant that they became your bottom line that no one could touch.

They were speaking on the phone, but Yun Xiangxiang felt that Song Mian was whispering right beside her year. Her ears were electrified. Yun Xiangxiang finally knew what “eargasm” meant at this moment.

Song Mian, who was well-versed in the art of stopping when it was time, diverted the topic naturally when he seemed to know that the reserved Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know how to reply, “Is everything okay with you recently?”

“Everything’s great. It’s just that I’m a little busy,” Yun Xiangxiang went with the flow and relaxed. “I do pay attention to work-life balance. When are you coming back?” Yun Xiangxiang added.

“I still have something to settle here. I will return to celebrate the new year with you,” Song Mian promised.

This would be their first new year after they got together. It held a significant meaning to both of them.

“I may also be busy until the cusp of the new year,” Yun Xiangxiang was estimating the progress of filming.”

Even though sieges weren’t emphasized in the script, it was paid a lot of importance during the actual filming.

The scenes were magnificently filmed by Wu Zhao. Every war scene would involve more than ten thousand extras. It was epic. The panoramic scene when viewed from a top down angle were incredibly stunning.

The filming would probably have to be filmed until the brink of new year because of Wu Zhao’s perfectionism. However, she could maybe wrap it all up earlier.

Both of them chatted about the menial things for a while before Yun Xiangxiang hung up.

“This pillow smells nice and feels warm, Xiangxiang,” Coco handed the pillow she pulled out from the package earlier to Yun Xiangxiang when she saw her finally hanging up.

Yun Xiangxiang caught a whiff of medicinal herbs’ faint scent when she took it in her hands. Song Mian sent two pillows to her. She looked at Ai Li and Coco.

Since one pillow couldn’t be shared evenly, then she wouldn’t share at all.

Yun Xiangxiang slept using the medicinal pillow for the whole night. She felt that she was more energetic compared to the last few days when she woke up. Yun Xiangxiang bathed and changed into the gear Song Mian sent her after she gritted her teeth to train in the morning.

Not all of the scenes that were filmed now were winter scenes. Even with the film’s outfit, the filming during the winter would still be shiveringly cold.

Every one of them geared up to the teeth with the help of their assistants after they got off from filming. The only thing missing was coating themselves with a thick blanket.

Yun Xiangxiang was taking her own sweet time while walking however. Sun Qiluo, who had just finished her scene with Yun Xiangxiang, felt worried when she saw her sauntering. She grasped her in her hand, “You don’t have to keep up the noble pose now that the scene is already over. It’s freezing here.”

Both of them sat at a side to watch other people act. Sun Qiluo didn’t want to let Yun Xiangxiang’s hand go, “Your hand is so soft and so warm.”

It was even more comfortable than her own warm bag.

“Here, have some,” Yun Xiangxiang gave a cup of tea that she brewed to Sun Qiluo.

“What kind of tea is this? It smells so nice,” Sun Qiluo tilted her head up and gulped it down.

She only felt that the hot water seeped into her body and spread its warmth throughout her whole body when she drank it. When she noticed that she was still warm after a while, Sun Qiluo stared at Yun Xiangxiang’s tea, “This tea is pretty amazing. I feel warm all over after just a gulp!”

“Is it really that magical?” He Xingzhou , who was sitting beside them, stretched his neck and asked.

“Taste some,” Yun Xiangxiang poured a cup for him when she saw him being curious.

He Xingzhou dashed over as soon as he finished drinking, “Xiangxiang, this tea of yours is delicious. Pour some more for me.”

“Right? That body-warming effect is just divine,” Sun Qiluo also drank another cup. “Where did you get this medicine pack?”

“It was prepared by a friend who’s a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. It’s not for sale. But I do have a lot at my place. I’ll share some with you guys,” Song Mian sent a lot of medicine packs for tea brewing. She couldn’t finish it alone.

“An old lady like me actually can’t compete with a young lady like you in terms of life experience!” Sun Qiluo felt that she was the one being taken care of by Yun Xiangxiang who was a young lady nine years her junior.

Since she didn’t think in the direction of having a boyfriend, she thought that Yun Xiangxiang sought out a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to make prior preparations because Yun Xiangxiang had already thought about the hardships of winter.

Yun Xiangxiang smiled, but did not elaborate.

“I don’t care. I’ll say that I like filming with Xiangxiang the most if anyone asks me after this,” He Xingzhou held the tea cup. “This is bliss. The films I filmed previously were all fakes!”

“So the people you met were fakes!” Sun Qiluo rolled her eyes.

Yun Xiangxiang quickly diverted the topic when she saw the both of them almost starting a fight, “What happened to Big Bro Xiong?”

Xiong Ao was sitting weird the whole day today. He seemed to look lethargic and didn’t have that old quality of his. He couldn’t even muster up his strength to scold the extras who made mistakes.

“Authors, screenwriters, those who work with words all have cervical spondylosis,” He Xingzhou replied with a whisper. “This is a chronic disease of his. It gets worse during winter. I’m afraid that it has struck again.”

Yun Xiangxiang nodded. Xiong Ao was obviously in a lot of pain. However, he still gritted his teeth and came to the filming venue. He didn’t go back even when Cao Chi and Wu Zhao persuaded him two times. Yun Xiangxiang found this to be very admirable.

She turned around and called Song Yao. When the call went through, the first thing Song Yao said was, “Miss Yun, are you looking for the young master? I’ll…”

“No. I’ll just ask you.”

“En?” Song Yao was stunned,
