Fang Siyan woke up the next morning. Out of habit, he reached out his hand to feel beside him.
There was nothing in the way. While tidying his hair, he sat up from the bed and casually grabbed a cardigan to drape over himself.
Since it was a cardigan, the man's chest was exposed. His skin, which had not seen sunlight for a long time, was fair and delicate.
The well - defined muscle lines added a touch of rugged beauty.
"Baby! Why are you sleeping on the table again?"
Although it was an old story and Fang Siyan knew that Ding Ruola wouldn't change even if he told her, he still couldn't help saying it.
During a previous hospital check - up, there wasn't a single part of Ding Ruola's cervical or lumbar spine that was injury - free. If this continued, she would surely suffer in the future.
"Old Fang—um—what time is it now?"
It was obvious that she was still half - asleep.
"It's six in the morning."
The girl was like a sloth, slowly crawling up from the table. Then she yawned, stretched, and let out a soft whimper from her throat.
She had worked until two o'clock last night and couldn't hold on any longer. So she set an alarm to wake up at four in the morning to continue working.
She wondered why the alarm hadn't gone off. As a result, she had missed two hours of work.
"You lie in bed and rest for a while. I'll go make breakfast and call you when it's almost ready."
Fang Siyan originally wanted to scold Ding Ruola a bit, but when he looked down at the girl's state, he couldn't bear to do it.
Ding Ruola's eyes were half - open, and even her speech was illogical. It was hard to tell whether she was talking or just mumbling in her sleep.
She obediently climbed onto the bed, still wearing one slipper on her foot.
The moment her head touched the pillow, Ding Ruola fell asleep.
Because of her improper sleeping posture, her breathing was a bit heavy.
Seeing Ding Ruola fall asleep, Fang Siyan, who was standing beside the bed, finally left with relief.
Ding Ruola didn't wait for Fang Siyan to come in and call her. She was awakened by the smell of the food.
She got up groggily, washed her face casually, and then sat down at the dining table.
After Fang Siyan dropped Ding Ruola off at the studio, he drove to the company.
Actually, he didn't want Ding Ruola to go to work at all today. Considering her state and the fact that she had fainted once yesterday.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he still didn't know why Ding Ruola had fainted.
It wasn't realistic to go back and ask her now. He'd wait until later.
There would be plenty of time in the future.
When Ding Ruola arrived at the studio, the whole floor was very quiet.
She thought she had come early, but the scene she saw when she opened the door surprised her.
None of the main designers had gone home. She didn't know when they had fallen asleep last night, but now they were all sleeping on their desks.
Ding Ruola couldn't bring herself to wake them up. She went back to her workbench and started working again.
After less than half an hour of organizing materials, Jiang Chen, Lu Hui and the others woke up one after another.
Ding Ruola waited for a while until most of them were awake.
"Take a break. We'll have a meeting in half an hour."
This meeting was mainly to discuss the scene design and the issues regarding costumes, props and makeup.
Ding Ruola sat on one side taking notes while the others started to talk about the problems they had encountered.
After a full two - hour discussion, the most important problem now was the one related to technology.
The appearance design still had to conform to the laws of physics and the basic knowledge of circuit wiring.
Song Yan's company always took the serious drama style. Ding Ruola didn't want anything to go wrong in her part and end up with a design that was neither fish nor fowl.
If that happened, this movie would be criticized by netizens all over the internet, just like *The Fortress at Sea* this summer.
"Now I've sent all the problems to your emails. As for how to solve them specifically, we'll have to figure it out together."
As for the general direction of the scene design, Ding Ruola had studied the design drawings of many science - fiction works. Most of them were artistic adaptations of existing buildings.
The scene had been set in Kyoto, but the specific renovation still required a deeper understanding of the script.
Ding Ruola was exhausted when she got home at night. After taking a shower, she kept reading an e - book on the basics of electronic circuits.
Fang Siyan, who was reading the newspaper, took a sidelong glance at Ding Ruola.
Was his little baby changing fields too quickly?
Previously, she had always been in the liberal arts field, but now she had jumped straight to engineering.
"Baby, are you going to learn electrical engineering now?"
Fang Siyan put down the newspaper in his hand. This was not concern but obvious teasing.
Ding Ruola blushed instantly when she heard Fang Siyan's words.
"I'm not. It's not me. You're overthinking."
With a triple denial, looking into Fang Siyan's sincere eyes, Ding Ruola pouted and told him about the recent situation in the company.
Fang Siyan's face grew solemn. It was clear that Song Yan, who was supposed to be an investor, was actually exploiting Ding Ruola's labor.
"You don't have to know everything. You can find an expert in this field."
As he spoke, the man started flipping through his phone contacts.
The School of Information Technology at University B was also very good. There was a professor there who was also a science - fiction fan and liked to do some design work in his spare time.
Previously, his designs were just for fun. Now that there was an opportunity, Fang Siyan immediately called this man.
The man was extremely excited when he heard that he was needed to provide help in this area.
In his excitement, he even forgot to ask Fang Siyan for the script.
To facilitate further communication, Fang Siyan directly gave Ding Ruola the man's contact information.
"Old Fang! You're really a genius!"
The professor from the School of Information Technology was named Wang Jianhua. His name sounded a bit old - fashioned, but there was no problem with his work.
A week later, the draft Wang Jianhua sent back had no flaws except for being a bit unaesthetic.
To avoid circuit - related mistakes during the appearance renovation, Ding Ruola specifically invited Wang Jianhua to the studio.
The man was in his early forties. While helping Ding Ruola revise the draft, he also helped Ling Zi correct some of the numerical values in the script.
The academic school was really different.
"Sister Yan, I've asked someone to revise the data in the script. Please take a look."
Ding Ruola sent the revised script to Song Yan's email.
Since she didn't know Song Yan's other email addresses, she had to send it to her QQ email.
Wang Jianhua only came on weekends. For the rest of the time, he provided online support.
After a month, the preliminary design draft had been finalized.
During this design process, Wang Jianhua had taken on the heaviest workload.
Although Wang Jianhua wasn't a member of the studio, Ding Ruola still added his name after the main designers.
Wang Jianhua's professional knowledge in electronic devices amazed Song Yan and Ling Zi.
Due to his limited knowledge, Ling Zi had to look up a lot of information online. It was normal for there to be discrepancies between online information and scientific knowledge.
