After filming that scene, Li Bingru felt somewhat afraid to face Wang Xiaoqiang, blushing every time their eyes met.

And whenever Hee Saixue saw Wang Xiaoqiang, she was filled with a tumult of hidden resentment.

Shooting was busy for everyone, especially for Wang Xiaoqiang, the lead actor, who had no time for anything else.

For Wang Xiaoqiang, this scene was crucial. Although Wang Xiaoqiang didn't particularly enjoy acting, nor did he consider it his life's goal, the scene represented a reenactment of his life experiences. It held historical significance for him, so he treated it with great importance and was very invested, even to the point of letting his emotions for the leading lady get involved.

That day.

It rained.

The relentless autumn rain made it impossible to shoot the outdoor scenes, so filming had to be suspended, giving everyone a chance to rest.

After the shooting was halted, Wang Xiaoqiang went to rest at the Riverside Villa. Honestly speaking, he hadn't really stayed there much.

Ever since Xu Qingxue had gone to Thailand, no one had cleaned, so the villa was somewhat dirty.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't bother hiring a cleaning service; with a wave of Water Element Spiritual Qi, the villa was spotless in an instant.

That day.

Wang Xiaoqiang was sound asleep in bed when Hee Saixue arrived.

It was no secret where Wang Xiaoqiang's house in River City was, so Hee Saixue knew his address.

As soon as she arrived, Hee Saixue pouted her lips and remained silent. It was obvious she was quite bothered by the kissing scene between Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Bingru.

"What's the matter? Who's upset you?" Wang Xiaoqiang handed her a drink and asked.

"No one has, it's just you who's annoyed me," said Hee Saixue, looking indignant.

"How have I annoyed you?"

"Wang Xiaoqiang, don't you think you were a little too into your acting? Could it be you want to turn the acting into reality?"

"If you're not into acting, how can you make it look real?" Wang Xiaoqiang countered.

"But you... when you act with me, how come you're not that involved..."

"How am I not involved? That intense scene with us two, to be honest, I really wanted to, at that moment, just take you and..."

"Stop!" Hee Saixue didn't get angry but laughed instead. "You're never serious."

"I've never been a serious person to begin with," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he walked over,

"Do you know you embarrassed yourself?" Hee Saixue said, pulling out her phone. She brought up a photo to show to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Looking at it, Wang Xiaoqiang saw that it was a photo of him and Li Bingru in the middle of the kissing scene, only the angle of this photo was different. It wasn't of their faces but a full-body shot,

and there, captured in the photo, was the awkward tent Wang Xiaoqiang had pitched.

"Give me that." Wang Xiaoqiang reached out to snatch the phone to delete the picture, but Hee Saixue deftly dodged and avoided him.

"Not a chance... I'm going to post it online, let you gain some notorious fame," Hee Saixue teased as she tucked the phone behind her back.

"That would be illegal," Wang Xiaoqiang lunged again to grab the phone.

Thus, a chase began inside the villa...

The rain continued for three days straight.

Over those three days, Wang Xiaoqiang and Hee Saixue lived like a young couple, seeking pleasure daily and making merry by night.

"Hey, Little Xue, let's roll out some noodles together," Wang Xiaoqiang suggested with a smile.

"Do you need two people to roll noodles? I can do it by myself."

"It's more fun with two people."

"What's fun or not fun? If you want to eat hand-rolled noodles, just tell me, and I'll make them for you," said Hee Saixue gently and virtuously as she went to the kitchen to make the noodles.

As Hee Saixue was rolling out the dough, Wang Xiaoqiang quietly snuck into the kitchen, came up behind her, and whispered in her ear, "Little Xue, let's do it together..."

With that, Wang Xiaoqiang made his move...

After Hee Saixue became Wang Xiaoqiang's woman, Li Bingru fell ill, not out of jealousy, though, as Li Bingru was not so lovesick.

Actually, Li Bingru had been ill for a while, with a serious condition, the mention of which makes women pale—the uterine fibroid.

Also known as a leiomyoma of the uterus, it is ************************** a common benign tumor.

Depending on where it grows, it can be classified as subserosal, intramural, submucosal, cervical, or broad ligament fibroids, each presenting clinically with symptoms like heavy menstruation, a lower abdominal mass, or difficulty with urination or defecation.

The condition usually occurs in women around the age of 35, with about 20% being diagnosed with uterine fibroids. However, due to slow tumor growth and often a lack of clinical symptoms, many cases are discovered incidentally during physical examinations. As a result, most patients do not receive the earlier treatment they need, or any treatment at all.

Originally, her illness was benign, not something you could call cancer, but because she overworked herself during filming, the condition worsened. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, it had turned malignant, a malignant tumor; in plain terms, cancer!

Others might blanch at the mention of cancer, and Li Bingru was no exception. Upon learning the news, she cried for an entire day.

Everyone from the cast came to visit, including Wang Xiaoqiang.

They all consoled Li Bingru, and Director Zhao even comforted her by saying, "We won't replace the female lead. Once your illness is cured, we'll continue filming."

Li Bingru flatly refused. It wasn't that she lacked passion for the film, she just didn't want to delay it.

Her illness had reached such a stage that she couldn't possibly act anymore. She could not mislead herself nor could she mislead others—or delay the production.

That was the bottom line of being a person.

Director Zhao agreed and decided to recast the role. However, he really felt troubled by it; changing the script was one thing, but changing actors could affect the film's popularity.

Li Bingru didn't want it to be this way either, but she was helpless and couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.

The crew stayed in the hospital for a while and then left one by one. Wang Xiaoqiang was the last to leave.

This made Li Bingru feel somewhat special. If it were any other time, she might have felt some aversion, but now things were different; her mental state had completely changed. She hoped for someone to keep her company.

Wang Xiaoqiang comforted her, "Bingru, don't be afraid. Medical science is so advanced these days, cancer isn't an incurable disease anymore. The key is to have a positive attitude..."

"Little Qiang, don't comfort me. Cancer is still a global medical challenge. Oh, my life is so hard," Li Bingru finally tore down the façade of her glamorous persona. At a time like this, what use are nobility, pride? All that talk is nonsense. When life is at stake, these things are just illusions.

"Bingru, do you believe in me?" Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly asked.

"Believe in you about what?"

"I can cure your illness," Wang Xiaoqiang stated with conviction.

"Little Qiang, what kind of joke is that?" Li Bingru managed a bitter smile.

"Really, I'm not joking. If you believe in me, I will help you cure it... If you don't, then there's nothing I can do..." Wang Xiaoqiang spread his hands and said.

"How would you cure it??" Li Bingru, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't joking, asked.

"No medication, no injections, and certainly no chemotherapy..."

At the mention of the word "chemotherapy," Li Bingru's face changed drastically. Chemotherapy is something every cancer patient has to face, an extremely painful treatment that amounts to torture.

For uterine fibroids, there is an option called "watchful waiting," which involves regular monitoring rather than special treatment. It mainly applies to women with fibroids smaller than 5 cm that cause no symptoms or only minor symptoms, especially for women who are nearing menopause in the hope that the fibroids will naturally shrink afterward.

Follow-ups every 3 to 6 months are necessary to check for symptoms and whether the fibroid is growing. Each follow-up should include a gynecological examination and an ultrasound. If during follow-up, the patient experiences excessive menstrual bleeding, compression symptoms, or the fibroid grows rapidly, immediate treatment is required. Watchful waiting under regular monitoring is a prudent approach for asymptomatic uterine fibroids. It should also be noted that a small number of patients may have fibroids that do not shrink but grow after menopause, requiring more frequent follow-ups.

Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors. Hormone drug treatment in clinical settings has been used for over half a century, with many drugs tried, but the search for a drug that can cure fibroids continues.

Nevertheless, when it comes to drug treatment, chemotherapy is still more effective.

"If not chemotherapy, then what method would you use...?"

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"How will I know if you don't tell me?" Li Bingru's interest was piqued at the idea of not using chemotherapy.

"It's simple, you just have to be with me..." Wang Xiaoqiang trailed off, afraid that she wouldn't believe him and would curse him instead.

"Be with you how?" The more Wang Xiaoqiang hesitated, the more curious Li Bingru became, eager to find out.

"Be with me in... that," Wang Xiaoqiang struggled to say the words. He was afraid of being labeled as a scoundrel.

"That, what's that?..." Li Bingru prodded.

"It's just, just being with me in... doing..."

"Doing, doing what?..."

"I'm afraid to say it, in case you'll scold me..." Wang Xiaoqiang said meekly.

"Just say it, I won't scold you," Li Bingru promised.

"You mustn't hold any prejudices against me, and if you don't believe me, just think of it as a joke," Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly.

"Okay, I'll take it as a joke," Li Bingru chuckled.

"It's to, you know, do that thing with me," he finally blurted out.

"Do, that thing?..." Li Bingru said in a husky voice, suddenly realizing what he meant, her beautiful eyes widened in shock before anger flared in them.

"You promised not to get angry," Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at Li Bingru and reminded her.

Li Bingru, though enraged with her chest heaving, managed to calm herself, "I'm not angry. I promised not to be, so naturally, I won't be."
