After working up a sweat at the market in the morning, Ye Wenxi boiled a basin of water and planned to take a bath. After a relaxing morning of shopping, Ye Wenxi did feel that the pressure had been relieved a lot.

While I was washing, Lu Weidong opened the door and came back.

Hearing the noise outside, Ye Wenxi called out, "Wei Dong."

"Hey, I'm back." Lu Weidong put down his keys and briefcase, pushed open the bathroom door, and asked, "Taking a shower?"

"You're all sweaty from walking around the market this morning, have you eaten yet?" Ye Wenxi asked.

"No, I was thinking of coming back for lunch to have with you." Lu Weidong closed the door. "Go wash up, I'll do it."

"Okay, I'll come out and help you in a bit." Ye Wenxi scooped water off herself.

Lu Weidong made noodles with soybean paste, but it was too hot to eat anything else.

He shredded some cucumber, fried some egg sauce, and there were quite a few other small pickles at home.

When Ye Wenxi finished dressing, the noodles had already been taken out of the pot and were being rinsed in cold water.

She slowly sat down at the dining table without moving, looking rather listless. Lu Weidong came out of the kitchen and noticed that she didn't look too well.

"What's wrong?" Lu Weidong put down the noodles, touched her face, and noticed a little sweat on her forehead.

"I don't know if I got heatstroke," Ye Wenxi said weakly. "I feel a bit weak. I was fine when I first got back."

"Did you skip breakfast and go straight to the market?" Lu Weidong asked, frowning.

"Um... I stayed up too late last night because of you, and I didn't get up this morning. I missed the bus, so I didn't have time to eat," Ye Wenxi said weakly.

Lu Weidong sighed: "So you haven't eaten anything yet?"

"I was going to eat fried rice cakes, but I couldn't buy any," Ye Wenxi added.

Ye Wenxi had been exercising intensely last night and this morning, and she hadn't eaten anything, so she must have low blood sugar.

Lu Weidong quickly picked her up and placed her on the bed. He opened a bottle of soda, gave her a couple of sips, and then put a piece of milk candy in her mouth.

He let her lean against him and gently massaged her acupoints.

"Put me down, I'm fine." Ye Wenxi said with her eyes closed.

"Don't move, I'll massage you for a while," Lu Weidong said.

Half an hour later, Ye Wenxi recovered, felt energetic, her vision was clear, and she no longer felt dizzy.

Before this, Lu Weidong had been sitting by his side, watching over him, without going to eat.

"I think I'm all better now, let's eat." Ye Wenxi sat up.

"The noodles are all clumped together. I'll rinse them again. Wait for me." Lu Weidong carried the enamel basin into the kitchen.

Ye Wenxi was completely energized, ate a large bowl of fried noodles with soybean paste, and seemed to have been resurrected.

She let out a long sigh and started crunching on half a cucumber.

"I bought so much fruit today, did you see? I also bought cantaloupe, let's eat two later!"

Lu Weidong ate his noodles and smiled as he watched Ye Wenxi fully recover her energy.

He reached out and pinched Ye Wenxi's cheek.

"Hehe (#^.^#)..." Ye Wenxi swallowed the cucumber in her mouth, pouted her oily lips, and gave him a kiss.

She sat back down in her chair, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Lu Weidong.

Ye Wenxi: "Wei Dong..."

Lu Weidong: "Hmm?"

Ye Wenxi: "Will you bully me in the future?"

Lu Weidong: "What kind of bullying?"

Ye Wenxi: "........."

Ye Wenxi: "It's not the kind of bullying you do in bed..."

Lu Weidong: "No."

His answer was resolute.

Ye Wenxi: "Why?"

She was hoping to hear something sweet.

Lu Weidong: "I dare not. I'm afraid."

Ye Wenxi: "-_-||"

Ye Wenxi slammed her hand on the table, stood up, leaned forward, pinched Lu Weidong's chin, and said fiercely, "Am I that fierce? I'm usually very gentle with you, okay?"

Lu Weidong grabbed her hand and pulled hard, dragging Ye Wenxi over.

He held her tightly in his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and looked at Ye Wenxi's face.

"What if I make you angry, and someone takes advantage of the situation?"

"Who knows if some monsters or demons are watching you out there?"

Ye Wenxi's lips twitched, which he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried: "As for demons and monsters, there aren't any, but there are some promising young talents."

"Who?" Lu Weidong's face turned cold.

Ye Wenxi: "........."

"I'm talking nonsense."

"Ouch, I feel a little dizzy..."

"I need to lie down..."

Ye Wenxi broke free from his embrace and made a tactical emergency retreat.

Lu Weidong draped one arm over the backrest, crossed his legs, and frowned deeply. At this moment, he was convinced of the existence of these "young talents".

I completely forgot about that night when Ye Wenxi wasn't home.

He sat in the same seat, in the same posture, repeating the words Wang Hao had once spoken.

........

The next day, Ye Wenxi did not go to the clothing store immediately after getting up.

Instead, she called the Military Family Committee to inquire about the progress of the film crew's registration for extras.

Since Ye Wenxi has agreed to act as the liaison between the film crew and the mutual aid society, he will see this matter through to the end.

After discussing the needs of extras with Song Xiaotang a while ago, the mutual aid society posted the recruitment information.

In the past few days, the mutual aid society has registered interested people who have been coming and going, but has not yet discussed specific wages and related information.

The unanimous response was that a recruitment fair for extras would be organized later.

Ye Wenxi dialed the Military Families Committee's number: "Hello? Director Zhang, this is Ye Wenxi. I wanted to ask about the extras; how's the collection going these past few days?"

Director Zhang said on the phone, "We put it up after Producer Song left that day. In the past few days, about forty or fifty people have come to register, mostly female military dependents, and quite a few wanted to bring their children to the camera. There weren't many male military dependents; maybe these men were too shy to go on camera."

"Director Zhang, are you free now? I'd like to come over and have a detailed talk with you," Ye Wenxi said.

"Hey~ come over here, I was just thinking of telling you something else." Director Zhang replied.

When Ye Wenxi arrived at the mutual aid society, she scanned the registered list and recognized many of the people on it.

"Let's just pick the leader of the extras from here," Ye Wenxi said, pointing to the list. "Like Grandpa Chen, since he's so proactive, let him be in charge of recruiting middle-aged and elderly men and male extras."

"Will they receive extra compensation?" Director Zhang asked.

"Yes, all the group leaders will give extra pay," Ye Wenxi said.

"Then their enthusiasm will definitely be even higher. Shall we find the leader of the extras from the list?" Director Zhang flipped through the list.

"The enthusiasm for registering voluntarily is definitely higher, and the demand for participating in the filming is also stronger, so I suggest choosing from here." Ye Wenxi leaned over to take a look.

"Choose one from here..." Director Zhang said, head down, his finger tracing the names line by line. "I think either Sister Yang or Sister Huang would be fine."

"Okay, let's find someone who's enthusiastic and good at organizing things. You can choose one; you know everyone better than I do in this regard." Ye Wenxi pushed the notebook back to Director Zhang.

Ye Wenxi continued, "I'll ask Producer Song again later to see if the extras need to be auditioned, or if they should at least be seen."

"Once Producer Song has finalized the general direction, we can hold a recruitment event for extras here. The setup can be similar to a job fair, but this one is specifically for the film crew and is aimed at recruiting extras."

"Before that, let's decide on a leader for the extras. When it comes to recruitment and interviews, the leader can also assist the project team with many things."

Director Zhang nodded, thinking to himself that with Ye Wenxi here to go through the ideas and implementation plans one by one, it was truly efficient and reliable.

"By the way, Wenxi, I also wanted to talk to you about organizing the training program," Director Zhang leaned closer.

Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up; she wanted to see if she could find out how things were going today.
