âDoctor!â
As soon as the door to the emergency room burst open, Chen Shiyen rushed forward like an arrow.
Hands gripping the doctorâs shoulders, he asked frantically, âHow is the patient, is everything okay?â
From his actions and expression, it seemed he had deep feelings for Zhou Qingyue.
The doctor revealed a slight smile, âLuckily, he was brought in in time, his legs have been saved.
As long as thereâs no external force, heâll be fine after three to four months of recovery.â
âThatâs great, thank you, Doctor!â Chen Shiyen bowed deeply to the doctor before running into the ward.
Jiang Xiaoyan also heaved a huge sigh of relief and followed him in.
Inside the ward.
Zhou Qingyue lay on the bed, pale as snow.
Looking utterly drained.
âYou⦠why are you here?â Zhou Qingyueâs voice was hoarse, clearly very surprised.
Jiang Xiaoyan ground her teeth.
Then, pointing furiously at Zhou Qingyue, she unleashed a torrent of scolding.
âAre you freaking valuing money over your life, huh?â
âWorking on a movie during Chinese New Year, I ought to shoot you, for crying out loud!â
âFoolish woman, I really want to slap you twice!â
âDo you not have a brain? Donât you know to use a stunt double when you should?â
âIf I were your boss, Iâd blacklist you forever.â
âLaugh, laugh, laugh, what the hell is there to laugh about!â
Seeing that her tirade had elicited no remorse from Zhou Qingyue, who even dared to laugh, Jiang Xiaoyan felt as if her tail had been stepped on.
âIâm sorry.â Zhou Qingyue reined in her smile, pleading pitifully, âI humbly accept the criticism, please donât be mad⦠Sister Jiang~â
Even with her temper, Jiang Xiaoyan couldnât stay mad after being coaxed like that.
Chen Shiyen stood by, a doting smile spreading across his face.
It was his first time seeing the formidable Zhou Qingyue act coy.
Quite amusing, and quite adorable too.
In Chen Shiyenâs eyes, there was only Zhou Qingyue now.
Jiang Xu noticed a huge change in Zhou Qingyue.
She used to be reckless and impulsive in both speech and action. It wasnât that she was impolite, more like a hooligan.
But now, sheâd started to act coy.
It was unclear if it was a dramatic change in personality or if she had just learned to put on a facade.
But no matter what, at least on the surface, it seemed like a good thing.
âCome on, have something to eat.â Jiang Xiaoyan took the food box delivered by an assistant moments ago.
When opened, inside was a pot of soft, overcooked lean pork porridge with a bit of shrimp added.
After taking a spoonful of porridge fed by Jiang Xiaoyan, Zhou Qingyue arched an eyebrow, âItâs so sweet, so delicious.
I didnât expect you to have such a gentle side. Tell me the truth, have you fallen for me?â
Jiang Xiaoyan, âLove your mom!â
Zhou Qingyue, ââ¦â
Chen Shiyen, â???â
Jiang Xu chuckled, âDonât mind her, sheâs always like this.â
Chen Shiyen showed a smile that was awkward and yet polite, âMiss Jiang really is⦠really unconcerned with trivial formalities, quite the character.â
Jiang Xu found it somewhat funny that he could come up with such a description; it was quite hard on him.
âYou should go back now,â Zhou Qingyue said to Chen Shiyen, noticing his fatigue, âIt looks like you havenât slept for a long time.
Thank you. How much are the medical expenses? Iâll transfer them to you later.â
Chen Shiyen said somewhat angrily, âDo we really need to be so clear-cut about money between us?â
Zhou Qingyue earnestly replied, âItâs better to be clear about money matters, no matter who it is, itâs the same with me.â
â`
Chen Shiyen felt a lump in his throat that wouldnât go up or down.
In the end, he could only say helplessly, âFine, itâs a total of 800,000.â
His relationship with Zhou Qingyue had finally made some progress.
Chen Shiyen didnât want to ruin everything for a minor issue.
After fiddling with her phone, Zhou Qingyue said to Chen Shiyen, âIâve transferred 1 million to you.
The extra 200,000, consider it a token of my appreciation.
Even though you might not need that 200,000, please accept it.â
Chen Shiyen couldnât be happy at all.
It meant he was still far from entering Zhou Qingyueâs heart, where everything with her was crystal clear and separate.
Chen Shiyen felt rather dispirited.
He stood up with an expressionless face and said, âI have other things to take care of, so Iâll be going now. You take care and rest.â
After saying that, he left.
âTsk, tsk, tsk.â Jiang Xiaoyan whistled at Zhou Qingyue like a hooligan woman, âThat guy is absolutely smitten with you.
In my opinion, though he canât compare to my Brother Jiang,
heâs more than a good match for someone of your caliber. I say you should just accept him.â
âWhat do you mean âsomeone of my caliberâ?â Zhou Qingyue was very displeased, âIs my caliber low? Make yourself clear!â
Jiang Xiaoyan: âNot low, not low at all, your caliber is sky-high, as high as two or three floors, happy now?â
Zhou Qingyue: â!!!â
Zhou Qingyue said very unhappily, âYouâd better leave soon, otherwise I might just die of anger because of you.
I could possibly get better in three months, but with your meddling, itâll take at least a year now.â
Jiang Xiaoyan: âOkay, okay, Iâll shut up. Be good, open your mouth, ahâ¦â
Zhou Qingyue: ââ¦â
Jiang Xu shook his head and sent a message to An Nuonuo.
He told her that Zhou Qingyue was out of danger, and her legs had been saved.
After eating, Zhou Qingyueâs complexion clearly improved a lot.
Jiang Xiaoyan got up: âIâll go ask the doctor if you need to take medicine, just wait a bit.â
Only Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue were left in the room then.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
It was Zhou Qingyue who took the initiative to break the silence: âThank you for coming to see me, I didnât expect you to arrive so quickly.â
She felt rather complex emotions.
Jiang Xu said, âActually, it was Nuonuo who told me to come here.
I was still asleep at the time, she woke me up to tell me you had an accident, and then I rushed over here.â
With that said, Zhou Qingyueâs emotions became even more complex.
She immediately felt that she really hasnât been a good person in the past.
âPlease thank her for me, and once I go back, Iâll treat you guys to a meal.â
âHmm, no rush,â Jiang Xu said, his eyes flickering, âbut with such a big incident, none of your crew came.â
âThatâs how people are here,â Zhou Qingyue didnât mind, âBesides, Iâm just a foreigner to them, connected by interests rather than emotions.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I guess many of them think Iâm done for this time, so thereâs no need to keep up appearances anymore.â
Jiang Xu nodded: âThen what are your plans now, are you going back to the country for treatment, or staying here?â
âIâll go back,â Zhou Qingyue said softly, âActually, the scene we were filming was the very last one.
The final shot can be done with a stand-in.
So in fact, Iâve already completed my filming, and the most important thing now is to recover.â
Jiang Xiaoyan came back.
After making Zhou Qingyue take her medicine, she said to Jiang Xu, âLetâs go rest as well, thereâs only one vacant room at the nearby hotel, and Iâll take the loss and weâll squeeze in.â
