Just look at "Strongest Female Trainee"; this show exploded in ratings with the latest episode because it highlighted "He Jinxia’s participation in filming before her car accident."
The ad revenue for that ti slot alone was enough for Tonghua Entertainnt to break even on the show!
If "Five Hours Early" could also ride this wave, perhaps it could make back its cost in a single episode like "Strongest Female Trainee" has with its advertising revenue!
But all this hinges on He Jinxia being able to match schedules and participate in the filming.
He Jinxia’s face showed hesitation, reflecting her indecision.
Had this been He Jinxia before the car accident, she likely wouldn’t have hesitated to agree, believing in seizing every opportunity that ca her way, as "opportunities do not co a second ti."
But having co close to death, she cared even more for her loved ones now. Sheng Yan was still lying in bed—could she really just leave him and go back to Huaxia to film the show? Was that the right thing to do?
She asked herself, can this show really be more important than Sheng Yan?
He Jinxia couldn’t make up her mind at the mont.
She said softly, "I need to think about it more, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow."
Luo You had no idea what He Jinxia was hesitating about. The news of "Sheng Yan’s on-set accident" was suppressed, and there was no word of it in Huaxia, so he didn’t know the couple was deeply in love and together.
If Luo You had known about the news, he probably would have hesitated more when suggesting her participation in filming.
Interrupting a couple in love could invite divine retribution!
After hanging up, He Jinxia returned to the hospital room to find Director Rogels had already left.
Sheng Yan was still quietly lying in the hospital bed, head bowed as he drew. As she approached, he had just finished the last stroke and passed the drawing to her.
He Jinxia looked at the drawing of herself, smiled warmly and said, "Am I this beautiful?"
Sheng Yan said indifferently, "You’re unaware of your own beauty."
He Jinxia glared at him playfully, "You’re getting more and more slick with your words. I don’t know who you’re learning it from."
Thinking about the over a hundred books titled "How to Stir a Woman’s Heart" back at his place, Sheng Yan’s face turned serious as he shalessly uttered four words: "Self-taught and natural."
He Jinxia: "...Could this be what they call male instinct in the legends?"
Sheng Yan nodded, "Sweet nothings are an essential skill that males naturally acquire as part of the grand process of procreation."
He Jinxia’s mouth twitched, "Wow, that sounds very lofty."
Sheng Yan said nonchalantly, "It’s alright, it’s alright."
When it cos to shalessness, she could never outdo Mr. Sheng!
The atmosphere suddenly turned silent again. As they looked at each other, in a mont of telepathy, they both spoke at the sa ti:
"I want to go back to Huaxia to make a cao on a reality show."
"I want to go back to the crew and start filming again."
As soon as the words were out, both of them widened their eyes and simultaneously continued:
"No way!"
"No way!"
He Jinxia/Sheng Yan: "..."
Sheng Yan rubbed his temple and spoke in a deep voice, "You haven’t fully recovered yet. Reality shows are very physically demanding, and you’re not fit to participate, even just as a guest."
He Jinxia: "The sa goes for you. Your leg hasn’t even healed, how can you film? You absolutely must not do any action scenes!"
Both of them had a serious expression and then said in unison, "Anyway, no matter what you say, it’s not going to happen!"
He Jinxia/Sheng Yan: "..."

Do we really have to ti everything so precisely, hey!!
Both of them looked stubbornly at each other, and after a long pause, Sheng Yan sighed softly, "Do I really have to go on the reality show?"
Seeing him make the first concession, He Jinxia’s tone softened as well, "It’s not a must for to participate, and if you’re really worried, I won’t go."
"Going on the reality show, I’m just making a cao as one of the dical staff or soone waiting to be rescued. There’s no need to move around much; just showing my face will do. It won’t be much of a physical burden, so I was thinking of going," she added.
Sheng Yan looked at her and softened his voice too, "I want to go back to the film set because Director Rogels has already requested it, and I feel a bit guilty for the delay in shooting caused by my absence."
"But don’t worry, the scenes I’ll shoot there are drama, not action. I’ll just need to deliver lines and convey emotions.
I’ll ask the director to schedule the action scenes a month later, and if you’re still concerned, feel free to co and supervise . If I get hurt, I absolutely won’t continue shooting," he said.
He Jinxia glared at him, "Am I that fierce that you would simply give up on shooting if you really got hurt? If a big-budget production worth billions is wasted like that, wouldn’t the other actors resent you to death!"
Sheng Yan laughed lightly, "No amount of money is more important than you. I don’t want to make you unhappy."
He Jinxia: "..."
What a smooth-talking man!
Oh my, but I really like it, what should I do?
He Jinxia glared at him and huffed, "I’m done with you. I can’t manage you. Do whatever you want to do."
Going with the flow, Sheng Yan replied, "That won’t do at all. I need soone like you to keep in check, or who knows, one day I might accidentally destroy the world without even realizing it."
He Jinxia glared at him, "You silver-tongued man!"
Sheng Yan’s expression paused, unexpectedly showing an almost "bashful" emotion as he looked down slightly, "What to do, I just can’t help myself in front of you."
He Jinxia: "..."
She lost QAQ...
She should never have argued with this man...
Why can’t she ever rember that...
Once they had talked things through, everything else fell into place, but their ti alone was down to its last day.
On this final day, Sheng Yan couldn’t help but give in to his desires and they shared an intense and restrained encounter unlike those in the past.
It was then He Jinxia discovered that this man had been faking the pain in his leg all along while he was in the hospital bed!
That scoundrel was perfectly able to get out of bed and walk around as normally as any other person when he wasn’t hopping or jumping. There was no way his leg was in pain!
The next day, He Jinxia boarded the plane, rubbing her waist with a bitter resentnt.
On the sa day, a new episode of "Burn, Boys" aired.
Everyone was surprised to see Deng Zhaoyan on the show!
[What a rare sight, we haven’t seen her on this program in three years, wasn’t she said to have fallen out with the show’s producers long ago?]
[Simple, Deng Zhaoyan hasn’t had any notable work recently, her popularity has been declining, and she has less fashion resources this year than before. It seems she offended so big shot in the fashion circle, so she decided to co back to the reality show to recapture her popularity.]
[From head to toe, I find only Deng Zhaoyan’s face worth watching. Just watch the dramas she’s in, and you’ll see how awkward her acting is. If it weren’t for her face, I couldn’t have stayed watching.]
[Sa, I also think her acting is very awkward. It’s a pity that soone like her got to be the leading lady in several dramas. Those dramas weren’t as bad as people say; she just ruined them with her performance.]
[Didn’t you hear that "Burn, Boys" was planning a nostalgia trip? Why didn’t we get it in this episode?]
[hhhhh I have a scary thought, inviting Deng Zhaoyan back as a guest to this show, isn’t that a way to reminisce about the ti three years ago? Truly a ti worn and yellowed!]
[I’m scared, Deng Zhaoyan isn’t that interesting to look at anymore, got used to her.]
