I Love Her Because She’s Dim-Witted And Filthy Rich - Chapter 15

6:00 AM.

Su Miao heard the sound of running water. She opened her eyes dizzily, only to realize that the sky was already bright. The person beside her was gone; she was likely washing up.

Su Miao rubbed her eyes and climbed out of bed in a daze. She walked to the vanity and asked, “How did you wake up so early?”

Duan Bainian thought to herself, “……….Did I even sleep?”

It was only then that Su Miao saw through the mirror that Duan Bainian’s eyes were bloodshot. Her own eyes widened. “Did you not sleep well last night?”

Duan Bainian smiled. “I had a dream last night, woke up from a fright, and couldn’t get back to sleep after that.”

Su Miao let out an exclamation. “Then you should have woken me up! If I were with you, you wouldn’t have been scared.”

Looking at the sincere face of the culprit, Duan Bainian was speechless.

Su Miao thought of something and ran out of the room, returning a moment later holding a small bottle.

With a look of seeking credit, Su Miao said, “Use these for your eyes. They work really well!”

Seeing Su Miao’s face practically written with the words “Quick, praise me!”, Duan Bainian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She reached out and took the bottle. “Thank you.”

After using the eye drops Su Miao gave her, Duan Bainian’s eyes did feel less dry and irritated, and even her head felt a bit clearer. She did some simple packing and called for Su Miao and the assistant to head downstairs.

The scenes they were filming today were in a small forest. Early in the morning, everyone took cars to the outskirts of the city. It was a desolate area in the middle of nowhere, and even the cell phone signal was down to only two bars.

Su Miao shared a car with Duan Bainian. When she got out and looked around, she saw a few lonely grave mounds in the distance. Su Miao immediately shivered and instinctively leaned closer to Duan Bainian.

As the staff and relevant actors arrived one after another, the mountain forest finally gained a bit of human presence.

While the director was still arranging camera positions and props, Duan Bainian took out bread, yogurt, and various fruits she had brought along. It served as a meager breakfast, which she and Su Miao ate together.

Duan Bainian always had a good reputation with people; she greeted everyone with a bright, spring-like smile. After a while, several other actors gathered around.

“Wow, Sister Bainian, your food is so plentiful! We just settled for two bites of instant noodles. Not only do you have yogurt, but you even brought so much fruit.”

Duan Bainian greeted them warmly, “The fruit has all been washed. If you want some, just help yourselves.”

The fruit was gone in a flash.

After finishing the fruit, everyone dispersed to go about their business.

Duan Bainian took a sip of yogurt and glanced at Su Miao. The little fool was looking quite unhappy.

Duan Bainian naturally knew why Su Miao was upset, but she teased her on purpose, “What’s wrong? You look a bit unhappy.”

Su Miao couldn’t help but pout. “I didn’t get to eat any of the fruit you brought.”

Duan Bainian smiled. “Then why didn’t you take some just now?”

Naturally, she had been too embarrassed to take any. The current Su Miao was only talkative in front of Duan Bainian; normally, she was still the person others described as “withdrawn” and “having a sugar daddy.”

Seeing that even Duan Bainian was teasing her, Su Miao grew more annoyed. She went straight to a nearby stone bench and silently drank her yogurt without saying a word.

Duan Bainian smiled and went back to the car to bring out a small tray. She stepped forward and handed it to Su Miao. “Here.”

Su Miao looked up at the sound of her voice. It was a portion of cut fruit salad, thoughtfully covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from oxidizing.

Su Miao immediately cheered up again.

See? Duan Bainian is still the best to her! Who else gets this kind of treatment? Only her!

Su Miao happily took the salad, tore off the plastic wrap, stuffed a mouthful into her mouth, and mumbled, “Duan Bainian, I like you so much!”

Duan Bainian sighed. Sigh, this little fool, does she even know what ‘like’ means?

Since they were filming a fight scene, almost everyone was put in wire harnesses. By the time the morning sessions ended, everyone had more or less sustained some bumps and bruises. Su Miao’s hand had also been slightly scratched by a tree branch.

Duan Bainian brought over a spray and helped Su Miao clean the wound. Just as she was about to apply the medicine, Li Man came over.

Li Man held up her red and swollen wrist. “Bainian, help me rub some safflower oil on this. It’s swollen.”

Duan Bainian asked, “Where is your assistant?”

Li Man pointed to the side. “The boxed lunches are being handed out; she went to wait in line.”

Duan Bainian quickly finished spraying Su Miao’s wound and immediately began rubbing Li Man’s wrist.

Li Man’s injury was indeed serious; she had landed directly on her hand when she hit the ground, and it was visibly swollen.

Duan Bainian rubbed it meticulously over and over until Li Man’s assistant urged her to eat.

When she turned back, Su Miao was unhappy again.

Duan Bainian had now discovered that Su Miao’s “well-behaved” nature was merely a disguise; once they were familiar, she had plenty of little temper tantrums.

Duan Bainian found it somewhat funny. “Why are you unhappy again?”

Su Miao stared at Duan Bainian for a long time before saying resentfully, “Why did you leave me to go help someone else?”

Duan Bainian replied, “We’re all friends. Isn’t it normal for friends to help each other?”

Su Miao immediately retorted, “That’s different!”

“How is it different?”

Su Miao said indignantly, “The two of us are the best friends!”

Duan Bainian finally burst out laughing. “Okay, okay, okay. The two of us are the best friends.”
