Chapter 28: Such Pain  

Now they could go home, take a shower, and have a break. When they were on the way home, Yan Huan was too exhausted to move. She didn’t want to eat anything, didn’t want to take clean herself, just wanted to lie down and sleep. But finally she forced herself to take a shower in the tiny bathroom where it was almost difficult for her to turn around. She thought that the first thing she wanted to do if she and Yi Ling earned enough money in the future was purchase a house just for themselves.

There must be a big bathroom.There could be a big soft bed. And Yi Ling must be there, alive.

As the door of the bathroom opened, Yi Ling was still sitting in front of the little TV watching news, writing something in her notebook.

“Have you finished?” Yi Ling asked without turning around after hearing the movement.

“Yes, your turn.” Yan Huan covered her lower abdomen with one hand. She didn’t look well. But her red lips smiled automatically when she looked at Yi Ling, who really was selfless.

Yiyi, it’s so lucky that you can accompany with me in this life.

Yan Huan went in her own small bedroom. But the pain from her abdomen made cold sweat appear on her forehead.

She was familiar with the feeling.

That time of the month arrived for Yan Huan. It always troubled her a lot and she always got bad cramps. In the past it didn’t matter too much, but ever since she started working as a stuntwoman it got worse. She needed to sink herself into cold water in the winter for her job, so the pain became much more serious and made her very uncomfortable every month.

Such terrible pain disturbed her sleep. But no matter how painful it was, it was no more painful than her abdomen being cut open. It was impossible for her to forget such pain no matter how many times she was reincarnated.

“Are you OK?” Yi Ling asked, worried. How could it be so painful?

“I’m fine.” Yan Huan took a bottle of Anodyne from a drawer. It was the most ordinary kind of Anodyne. She knew it was not good to take painkillers, but it was so painful. She put the tablet into her mouth with trembling fingers and swallowed it. Yes, she just needed to sleep for a while. When she woke up, everything might be fine. But she didn’t have time now. She needed to go to the set later.

“Maybe... we don’t have to go?”

Yi Ling was worried about Yan Huan. She knew that every time Yan Huan was on her period, she suffered greatly.

“No.” Yan Huan stood up, and could feel the warmth of the blood leaving her. No wonder she had anaemia, because of her period every month as a woman.

Her precious rare blood.

“Let’s go.” Yan Huan grabbed her bag and stood in the doorway. But Yi Ling still stayed put, wanting to say something.

“Come on.” Yan Huan urged Yi Ling, opening the door. “We just need to act today, then we can rest for several days. We can discuss other things later.” She was not the rookie actress she was in her last life. She had self-confidence in her acting-skills. If the opportunity was there, she must take advantage of it. Although she would not be an instant superstar, she believed that she would have continuing offers, then they would not lack money anymore.

People passed them as they walked. The street she was walking on was the same as the one she walked on in another life. She now had another chance to be here, could she take advantage of it this time?

She was coming. Yi Ling ran over in a hurry. Both of them rushed to the set without any communication while on the road. Yi Ling noted Yan Huan’s expression, but she felt it was not a big problem for her, so she trusted her.
