One Pet Gets Married

Chapter 66

Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. Tang You'an felt this saying perfectly described her experience.

She never imagined that after waking up, her entire world would change.

Previously, many people disliked her, finding daily pleasure in cursing her as an idiot while eating, smoking, or cracking sunflower seeds. But after this incident, many people's attitudes did a complete 180-degree turn. Not only did they call her a little hero, but they also felt they had wronged her before, believing her past behavior must have been due to manipulation by the "bad guys."

Moreover, Tang You'an became a positive role model, praised by public security organs and even political blogs. As a result, the comments under Tang You'an's Weibo were filled with "You'an, You'an, may the country prosper and the people live in peace."

Those in the know recognized her as an actress, but others might have thought she was some national treasure.

[Before, when my parents found out my idol was Tang You'an, they gave me a scolding. Now... never mind, my parents are calling me to watch "My Farming Diary with Them."]

[Tang You'an, be my wife!!!]

[You above, prepare to die!]

……

Looking at these comments, Tang You'an felt a bit bewildered.

After this incident, all major media outlets were desperate to interview her. Even a very authoritative TV station, which people immediately associated with the Party and the people, extended an invitation for her to participate in a program.

She had originally thought this incident would negatively impact her work and nullify her previous efforts, but it turned out okay?

Additionally, Song Xici, Zhou Yi, and Chang Ye also entered the public eye due to this incident.

The most surprising to the public was the obscure D-list celebrity Chang Ye. After all, Song Xici had always maintained a good reputation.

Chang Ye was different. First, she had no notable works, mostly playing minor roles in various dramas. Second, she was a live streamer, and many people were prejudiced against streamers. Third, she had been rumored to be involved with a popular male celebrity.

But in this incident, Chang Ye dazzled everyone. When people learned that Chang Ye and Zhou Yi knew each other, then dug up Zhou Yi's identity, and further discovered that Zhou Yi and Chang Ye had once dated but broken up, the gossip-mongers let out a collective scream.

However, due to Tang You'an's injury, the film's production progress inevitably slowed down.

But as an actress, she insisted on returning to work after a follow-up examination, even before her injuries had fully healed. Out of necessity, she continued filming the movie while temporarily setting aside the farming show. After all, if the workload was too heavy, she wouldn't be able to handle it, and between the show and the movie, the movie was obviously more important.

Upon returning to the set, fortunately, some of the action scenes had already been completed by the director using a stunt double, so there was no need for strenuous physical activity. Daily shooting was still okay. Moreover, everyone was taking care of her.

However, she still couldn't work for long periods, so after shooting for a while, she had to rest for a bit.

Then, Song Xici would constantly ask how she felt, and at the slightest sign of fatigue on her face, she would forcefully take her to the dressing room, undo her belt, pull down her collar, and check her wounds. After all, the weather was getting hotter, and the layers of period costume were quite thick. Song Xici was worried she might develop an infection if she wasn't careful.

Ever since Tang You'an was injured, Song Xici had been preparing special meals for her.

Basically, Song Xici would ask a cook who made particularly delicious food to prepare a variety of nutritious but light dishes according to a nutritional menu every day, then bring them in a large insulated lunchbox.

At mealtimes, when the lunchbox was opened, the variety of dishes was dazzling. Every meal was like eating gold.

Han Yan poked at the cabbage in his bowl, then looked at the delicacies in Tang You'an's lunchbox, drooling with envy.

"It's not like her illness was that serious, she can still talk and run around... Day after day, it's like taking care of a child, isn't this making a big fuss over nothing?" Once when Song Xici led Tang You'an out again, Han Yan, watching from the side, snorted. When he had a high fever of 39 degrees, he just took a taxi to the hospital, got an injection, and that was it.

Hearing this, Song Xici glanced at him: "Over? Oh... looks like what everyone says is true."

"What do they say?" Han Yan looked back.

"Single dogs really don't understand love..." Song Xici said with a smile, stroking her chin.

That stung. Han Yan turned his head away, his face twitching, suddenly feeling his teeth ache.

Tang You'an, watching Song Xici tease Han Yan, couldn't help but smile, the corners of her lips turning up.

This was her beloved, so adorable.

"Come on! Eat this big chicken leg, and you'll be the best kid on this street!" Then, Song Xici turned around, picked up a large chicken leg, and put it in Tang You'an's bowl.

"Okay." Tang You'an nodded. Then, before eating the chicken leg, she reached out and wiped away a grain of rice stuck to the corner of Song Xici's lips.

Han Yan couldn't help but stand up, pick up his lunchbox, and slowly walk away, sitting down next to Ouyang Du.

After finishing filming and returning home that night, Song Xici felt like she had shed a layer of skin. After all, how many times had she been suspended on wires today?

"We don't have any scenes scheduled for tomorrow night. Should we invite Zhou Yi and Chang Ye out for dinner?" Tang You'an turned to look at Song Xici. "After all, we were able to escape danger this time thanks to them. In a couple of days, we'll be leaving Rongcheng with the film crew."

Song Xici listened and nodded: "Oh, right! I felt like I had forgotten something. Let's contact them then!"

"Mm." Tang You'an nodded, then picked up her phone and dialed Zhou Yi's number.

The call connected quickly, followed by a steady "Hello" in her ear.

"It's me, Tang You'an. Are you free recently? Thank you for your help before. I've recovered pretty well, and I happen to be free tomorrow night, so I wanted to treat you to dinner..." Tang You'an held the phone.

"No need to be polite. Xici is my friend, so naturally, you're my friend too. If you're busy, there's no need..." On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yi had just come out of the bathroom, rubbing her hair with a white towel in her left hand while holding the phone with her right, answering calmly.

"And Chang Ye too." Tang You'an finished what she wanted to say.

On the other end, when Zhou Yi heard Tang You'an say this, she put down the towel, unconsciously gripping the phone tighter, staring blankly into the room.

"Not coming?" Tang You'an asked again.

After a while, a "Coming" came from the other end of the phone.

"Alright, then I'll contact Chang Ye. If it's settled, I'll choose a restaurant and let you know." Tang You'an stared at the floor.

"Okay."

"I'll hang up then." After saying this, Tang You'an hung up and called Chang Ye.

Meanwhile, Song Xici rubbed her shoulder, sighed, then picked up her phone to browse the internet one last time before bed. She went to an emotional advice forum.

As she scrolled, Song Xici saw a post. She didn't want to look at it at first... but she inexplicably clicked on it...

After all, the title was too intriguing: "After taking a bath together with my best friend, that kind of thing happened..."

After clicking in, Song Xici inexplicably continued reading. As she read, she licked her lips, her eyes widening.

On the other side, Tang You'an couldn't reach Chang Ye by phone, so she had to send her a WeChat message.

After sending the message, Tang You'an let out a breath and turned her head to see Song Xici woodenly holding her phone, head lowered, furtively looking at something. She narrowed her eyes and looked along with her for a while.

"I've contacted her, she said it's fine," Tang You'an spoke up after reading a line or two.

"Ah?!" Song Xici instantly put away her phone, glanced at Tang You'an, then tossed her phone aside as if nothing had happened. She walked to the balcony to close the curtains. "Oh, good! I'll go take a shower first then."

However, as Song Xici turned around after closing the curtains, she saw Tang You'an standing behind her.

"What's wrong?" Song Xici looked at her.

"Hmm..." Tang You'an pondered for a moment, then walked in front of Song Xici. She put her hands on Song Xici's soft waist, pressed her forehead against hers, and pulled her into an embrace. "You've had it tough these past few days."

"What are you saying... Between two people, what's tough or not tough?" Being held like this by Tang You'an, Song Xici's breathing involuntarily became hot again.

"You're always taking care of me, isn't that tough?" Tang You'an raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It's okay..." Song Xici puffed out her cheeks. "As your wife, if I don't take care of you when you're injured, how could that be acceptable?"

"This damned injury..." Tang You'an muttered softly at this moment.

"Why are you saying that... It was to save me after all..." Seeing her like this, Song Xici was displeased.

"But with it, I can't give you what you want, can I?" Tang You'an tilted her head, looking at her.

"What are you talking about..." Song Xici looked at her, frowning as she thought for a moment. "What do I want..."

"I mean, doesn't this make you feel too... unfulfilled?" Tang You'an tilted her head, gazing into her eyes.

"What unfulfilled..." Song Xici was a bit confused, then her eyes darted around. Putting two and two together, along with what she had just read, her heart suddenly started racing.

At this moment, Tang You'an raised one hand, gently brushing Song Xici's soft lips, then slowly leaned down to kiss the corner of her mouth. "Your body."

"What are you saying? How, how is that possible? I..." Song Xici glanced up at her, her words becoming stuttered. "I, I'm a person who tends towards spiritual love, not a shallow physicalist..."

"Is that so?" Tang You'an tilted her head, looking at her for a while. "Tell the truth. Otherwise, I won't know what you're really thinking."

"I'm telling the truth!" The blush on Song Xici's face deepened layer by layer, growing hotter, feeling like a burning iron pressed against her skin.

"Then... why were you secretly reading that kind of thing just now?" Tang You'an buried her head in the crook of Song Xici's warm neck, tilting slightly. "Hmm?"

"I... I wasn't reading anything..." Song Xici froze, not knowing what to say, and just made a random excuse.

"Forgot? Should I recite it for you?" Tang You'an's exceptional memory wasn't just for show. Her ability to memorize lines was always top-notch.

"Don't..." Song Xici just wanted to bury her face in the ground.

"In the bathroom, under my gaze, my best friend finally undid her clothes one by one..."

"Stop saying it..." Song Xici was now truly embarrassed and annoyed. Moreover, a strange feeling was gradually rising within her body.

"Why?" Tang You'an raised her head again, reaching out to caress her cheek.

"That, that's nothing, that's just innocent! A bubble bath, it's just taking a bath together, what's the big deal!" Song Xici felt her cheek burning and itching under Tang You'an's touch, and couldn't help but turn her face away.

"Is that so?" Tang You'an turned her face back.

"Yes..." Song Xici's voice was as thin as a mosquito's.

"Then..." Tang You'an's lips curved upward. "Let's bathe together tonight."

Author's note: Tang: "It's just taking a bath, what's the big deal? ╮(╯▽╰)╭"
