The family banquet had concluded deep into the night, and after seeing off the guests, only a dozen or so of the Jing Family's close relatives remained, staying overnight at the old house of the Jing Family.
Shi Su returned to the bedroom to remove her makeup and take a bath. While not yet overly tired, she took a script from her bag and lay on the bed to study it earnestly.

"I have a scene tomorrow morning, 'Shadow Kill' will wrap up in a few days, and I haven't memorized some of the lines at the end."
"You've been busy all day. Even if you force yourself to memorize them now, it won't stick. Your brain needs enough rest to truly be effective the next day."
"...Jing Jihan, are you really planning to turn me into a useless person who does nothing, just supporting me like this?"
"I can afford to support you."
