My Fated Companion

Chapter 5

Dingding's P.O.V.

After spending about an hour or so at the hospital, I was finally released. Apparently the reason I got a headache was that my blood sugar was very low, which makes sense cause I barely ate anything this morning and my dinner was interrupted by him.

"Are you sure you're okay? Really, you can take the day off." The director said once we made it back to set. "Don't worry, it's just low blood sugar, the nurses already fed me some stuff so I'm feeling great again." I smiled as he sighed and looked at Ruwei.

"Ruwei, you were with her, do you think she can handle today's stunts? Today has a lot of stunts, we could have her stunt-double do them in her place." The director asked Ruwei, "I think that's a good idea, big or small, she did end up going to the hospital, so I think she should rest up." Everyone agreed with him.

Thank goodness, I don't have to film with him. I sat down on my chair and began relaxing and working on composing the songs while they began filming. I've been so busy filming that I haven't even really started working on the songs yet.

After a few hours, I began growing hungry. I decided to listen to my body this time, I didn't want to end up in the hospital again. I set down my books and headed over to the huge buffet table. I grabbed a plate and began serving myself lunch.

As I continued looking around the different options, I saw one of my singer friends, Jake, approach me. "Hey Ding, how are you feeling?" He asked as he grabbed a plate as well. "I'm doing a lot better, I just haven't been eating well lately." I sighed as we sat down.

He handed me a can of cream soda, "You really should take care of yourself more. You were originally supposed to only compose songs for this show, but now you're playing the main character. You must be so busy." He said as I took a bite of my seafood salad.

"I do tend to like to keep myself a bit busier because it prevents me from thinking too much." He nodded, "That is a very good point, especially nowadays, there are so many things that can distract us from what we're supposed to be doing. It's good to keep yourself a bit busier." He agreed.

I popped open my can of soda as we cheered before taking a big gulp. "Wow, it's been a while since I've let myself loose and just drink sugar water." I said with a small laugh, "Us celebrities care way more about our figures than anything else."

As we continued small talk, I saw Ruwei come to us. "Ding, are you feeling better?" He asked sincerely as I just simply nodded, "Ruwei, you must be tired, here, drink some water." Jake said as he handed Ruwei a bottle of water, "Thanks." He mumbled as I looked at him weirdly.

All of a sudden, there was so much tension between us. I sighed as I got up, "I'm going to get some more food, you two talk." I said, but Ruwei immediately followed me to the buffet. "I said for you two to talk, not for you to follow me." I snapped.

"Well I don't know him, what am I supposed to say to him?" He asked as I rolled my eyes, "You're an actor, you talk for a living." I said as I walked away from him and back to Jake. But before I could sit down, I felt Ruwei grab onto me and he began dragging me away.

"Ruwei, let go of me! People are watching!" I yelled, but he continued grabbing onto my wrist and dragging me to wherever he was going. I let out an angry sigh as he locked us in his dressing room. "Ruwei, what has gotten into you today??" I snapped as he turned to face me, he looked really angry for some reason.

"You're not gonna explain. Nevermind, even if you were to explain, I don't want to hear it." I said before heading to the door, but he just blocked it. "Ruwei! People don't even know we know each other, they're gonna start gossiping about us being alone in your dressing room, let me out!!" I yelled as I tried reaching for the door, but he just grabbed onto me.
