The movie "Heavenly Beings" was officially completed on September 27th, a few days ahead of schedule.
The wrap-up party was scheduled at the largest Hai Tian Restaurant in H City, with over a thousand members from the entire crew gathered together. As the leading actors, Gu Jinrong and Shen Qingzhi naturally had to stay until the end.
On the day they returned home from filming, it was already very late. Gu Jinrong had something to say to Shen Qingzhi, but she was stopped outside the master bedroom with the excuse of being "too tired."
Shen Qingzhi felt tired until the morning of the next day.
Gu Jinrong finished cleaning the house and prepared breakfast. After waiting for almost half an hour, Shen Qingzhi didn't come out.
So she knocked on the master bedroom door, but there was no response for a long time.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed Shen Qingzhi's number.
The familiar ringtone rang, but no one answered.
Gu Jinrong felt anxious. She didn't care if Shen Qingzhi would be angry, she directly took out the key to the master bedroom and opened the door.
In the spacious bedroom, the gray curtains fell, leaving only a little light at the bedside. It was obviously broad daylight, but the whole room was shrouded in a layer of darkness.
Gu Jinrong looked at the small bulge under the quilt in the center of the bed, and her heart raced inexplicably.
She did not turn on the light, but opened the bedroom door wider, letting the light from the corridor add some brightness to the room without being too blinding.
She walked to the bedside, patted the young girl who was wrapped in a ball under the quilt, and said in a very gentle tone, "Qingqing, it's time to get up and have breakfast. You should live a regular life even during vacation."
Shen Qingzhi lay on the bed and blinked her eyelids but didn't open them.
This was somewhat unusual. In the past, when she tried to wake Shen Qingzhi up, even if she didn't get up, at least she would grumble and scold her a bit, not be as quiet and obedient as now.
Shen Qingzhi was lying on the soft big bed, feeling that her eyelids were extremely heavy.
In fact, she had already woken up when Gu Jinrong called her just now, but she didn't have any strength in her body, so she lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Her senses seemed to be a little duller than usual at this moment, but she could still feel the weight pressing on the bed, the ice-cold and delicate back of a hand on her head, carrying a faint scent of gardenia, making her feel extremely comfortable.
Shen Qingzhi had always been someone who had a hard time getting out of bed, especially during the rest days. In the past, if someone disturbed her sweet dreams, she would have a bit of a temper and would scold them to leave.
But now, she not only didn't want to send the person away, but she also wanted to get even closer.
Sensing the cold back of her hand leaving, she raised her arm with great effort. Without opening her eyes, she was able to grasp the slender wrist with conscious precision.
She pulled that hand toward herself, pressed her little rosy face against it, and nuzzled it like a little kitten, saying, "Don't leave."
Gu Jinrong touched Shen Qingzhi's face and coaxed softly: "I'm not leaving. I'm just going to get you some medicine. I'll be back soon."
"Don't leave." Shen Qingzhi didn't seem to hear her. She grabbed Gu Jinrong's wrist and didn't let go, only repeating this sentence repeatedly.
Perhaps she caught a cold from the wind at the wrap-up party last night. Shen Qingzhi's face was as hot as a small stove, and there was no need to measure her temperature.
Shen Qingzhi is usually very proud. Ever since Gu Jinrong recovered from her leg injury, she has always been rejected. But now, with a fever, the girl was unusually clingy.
Gu Jinrong looked at Shen Qingzhi's appearance, feeling both loving and helpless. She leaned down slightly and let Shen Qingzhi hold her, thinking that she would quietly pull away after she fell asleep.
However, Shen Qingzhi seemed to retain her responsiveness despite her high fever, .
Several times, Gu Jinrong thought she had fallen asleep and was about to pull her hand away, only to be grabbed back again.
Shen Qingzhi was awakened in this manner several times and was a bit annoyed. She revealed her small white teeth and nibbled on that slender wrist.
Fortunately, the sick person didn't have much strength at this moment. Her teeth biting into the skin not only didn't hurt but felt more like a gentle, ticklish sensation, like a kitten kneading.

Gu Jinrong's eyes darkened, and she allowed a little sick kitten to use her hand as a teething stick.
She was very happy to see her little girl so attached to her. However, since she had a fever, she still needed to take medicine.
In fact, even when Shen Qingzhi was healthy, Gu Jinrong didn't consider her to have much strength. Now, she was sick on top of that.
It's just that when facing the girl she loves, she always found it easy to be soft-hearted, not willing to disappoint her even though she knew that it was the ramblings of someone delirious from illness.
So Gu Jinrong sat on the bed, captured by Shen Qingzhi for nearly twenty minutes, and her waist was starting to feel a bit sore.
When she saw that Shen Qingzhi had no intention of letting her go, she simply wrapped her up in a thin quilt, holding her back with one hand and lifting her legs with the other.
Fortunately, the thin quilt on Shen Qingzhi's body was from a few months ago, a summer style, so it wasn't a burden. Carrying her didn't require much effort.
Shen Qingzhi felt that her body was suspended in the air. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, she felt that delightful scent of gardenia even closer.
Following her instinct, she arched toward the source of warmth and comfort and, as if her body remembered, she clasped both hands around Gu Jinrong's neck so she wouldn't fall.
Gu Jinrong blushed from being nuzzled by Shen Qingzhi, even more so than Shen Qingzhi, who was running a fever.
She didn't dare to linger any longer. She lifted Shen Qingzhi in her arms and hurried to find antipyretic medicine.
Every time Gu Jinrong went out for a shoot, Xiao Ling would prepare various common medicines for her. She had just taken these things out of her luggage this morning and put them back in their place, so finding them was not difficult.
She found antipyretic medicine and gave it to Shen Qingzhi with some water.
When Shen Qingzhi was sick, she was extremely well-behaved. As long as she is pointed in the right direction, she will do whatever she's asked.
After Gu Jinrong gave the medicine, she carefully put the person back on the bed. The quilt was too thin, she kicked off her slippers, climbed onto the bed, and embraced Shen Qingzhi lovingly.
Antipyretics have a sedative effect. Shen Qingzhi fell into a deep sleep this time. Within twenty minutes, her breathing became very steady.
Gu Jinrong reluctantly withdrew her hand, went to the cabinet to find a thicker quilt, and covered the huddled Shen Qingzhi tightly.
She moved a chair to sit on the bedside, opened her laptop, and communicated business with Alice.
Although the filming of "Heavenly Beings" has been completed, she still has many things to deal with as a producer. There were many other activities, large and small, that she had to take a look at.
In the past, when she was working, she was always completely focused on her tasks. However, this time, she glanced at the bed every five minutes.
Alice on the other end of the video quickly realized something was wrong. She had just asked Xiao Ling for detailed inquiries yesterday, and seeing Gu Jinrong's demeanor, only further confirmed what she had been thinking.
There is no way to avoid what is coming. In fact, everything was already doomed when Gu Jinrong decided to return to China.
After Alice and Gu Jinrong finished chatting about business matters, they seamlessly switched to private matters, "Is Shen Qingzhi next to you now? Why don't you introduce us to each other?"
Gu Jinrong looked away from the bed and said to the laptop camera: "She has a fever right now. She just took medicine and is sleeping. Next time, I will introduce you two to each other."
It was rare for Alice to see Gu Jinrong looking so affectionate, and she felt so disgusted that her teeth felt sore.
"Tsk, tsk, you two can't bear to be apart for even a moment now, not even while working. When you're ready to go public, you have to let me know in advance, you can't make surprise attacks."
Gu Jinrong silently pinched her fingers and thought: I don't have the final say when to make it public.
"It should be soon. You should get ready."
At this moment, what Gu Jinrong said was completely different from what she was thinking, but when she heard Alice's sincere congratulations, she felt genuinely happy.
At least for this relationship, her family, friends, and business partners all gave their blessings. Now, everything was ready, she just needed the master to nod.
Alice had no interest in being a light bulb*, so she ended the video call on her own initiative after chatting for a while.
*third wheel
Gu Jinrong turned her head to look at the bed again and saw that Shen Qingzhi had shifted her quilt and seemed to have awakened. She hurriedly reached out to touch Shen Qingzhi's forehead.
After taking the medicine and sleeping for two hours, it seemed that she was not as hot as before.
Shen Qingzhi squinted her eyes and caught Gu Jinrong's hand, exerting some force to pull the kneeling Gu Jinrong onto herself.
Fortunately, Gu Jinrong had quick eyes and quick hands to catch the edge of the bed with one hand, otherwise, the person on the bed might have been pressed down heavily.
"Qingqing?" Gu Jinrong called out tentatively but saw the person on the bed smacking her mouth and not showing signs of waking up.
Can you be this strong in a dream?
Gu Jinrong was lying on the bed leaning against the quilt, her eyes firmly locked on Shen Qingzhi's face.
Her small, fair face was tinged with a rosy blush due to the fever. Not only her face but also the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose were rosy. With her rhythmic breathing, she looked like a small animal hibernating.
She has exquisite facial features. When she opens her eyes, she is exquisitely beautiful. When she is asleep, she is exquisitely cute. It makes people look at her. She couldn't help but want to rub her into her arms.
Gu Jinrong thought this, and then she actually did it.
After all, Shen Qingzhi was willing to be clingy right now.
She felt that the quilt was obstructing her, so she simply took off her coat, opened the quilt, and got in.
Shen Qingzhi had initially held onto one of Gu Jinrong's hands but lost her target when Gu Jinrong took off her coat. She pouted in displeasure.
She wanted to roll around on the bed in frustration but relaxed her furrowed brows when she sensed the source of the scent beside her. She instinctively hugged it.
A small stove rolled into Gu Jinrong's arms, and it was so hot that her heart began to beat erratically.
This was not the first time she and Shen Qingzhi hugged, but both of them were wearing very little at this time.
Their thin nightwear, under the scorching heat of the high fever, felt like it was about to melt.
Gu Jinrong couldn't bear it and wanted to distance herself, but Shen Qingzhi pressed her even closer.
"Hold me tighter." Shen Qingzhi's calf hooked around Gu Jinrong's and rubbed lightly, her body restless, seeking out the softest spots to snuggle.
Gu Jinrong now regretted sharing the same bed. She originally just wanted to hold the sick kitten and have a peaceful sleep, but she didn't know that when her Qingqing was sick, she was even more flirtatious than usual.
After all, she overestimated her self-control. If she hadn't thought that someone was still so sick and delirious at this moment, she would...
Gu Jinrong used one hand to hold Shen Qingzhi's wrist and her legs to secure those restless little legs. It took considerable effort to stabilize her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingzhi was very squeamish now because she was a patient. The more Gu Jinrong tried to keep her still, the more she insisted on moving.
Her hot body was struggling like a fish, and there was a whimper in her nose, "I want a hug, hug, hug..."
Gu Jinrong was now sweating profusely and had no free hand to wipe it away. She could only go along with Shen Qingzhi's wishes and let her wiggle around.
What an enemy.
