Chapter 146

Last night, news of a criminal case at the film and television base appeared on the news, the entire crew was discussing that case, and the atmosphere was subtly unpleasant.

Who would have thought that the road often walked by nearby would see such an incident?

Fortunately, the culprit was caught; otherwise, they wouldn't dare go out at night.

Xu Qian found her and asked anxiously, "You've been coming back very late these past few nights; you must be careful."

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "I know."

Xu Qian saw her complexion wasn't good, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Jiang Zhi shook her head, stretched, and said, "I've been sleeping too late these past two days; I only went to sleep at five yesterday—how could my complexion be good?"

Xu Qian thought about it and agreed; back when she was an extra, she never used to stay up all night like this, and besides, Xiao Zhi is still the female lead, the most exhausted one.

"If you have time, go get some sleep; you're so inflexible and wouldn't slack off."

Looking at those male and female supporting actors, they rest whenever they can, and even the actor playing the male lead, Zheng Bai Ce, dives into the rest tent as soon as filming wraps.

Unlike her, she spends the whole day from morning to night, staying behind to watch no matter whose scene it is.

Jiang Zhi nodded in response.

Xu Qian glanced at her pocket, hurried over, and asked, "You didn't bring Heitan today?"

They're inseparable, a cat and a person; why didn't you bring him this time?

Jiang Zhi didn't want to mention Heitan, glanced at the time, and said, "I need to go do my makeup; I'm off."

After saying that, she waved at her and turned to leave.

Xu Qian watched her retreating figure, then withdrew her gaze, puzzled.

Perhaps Heitan was too mischievous and Xiao Zhi locked him at home.

——

Due to the weather, Director Wang had her shoot two extra scenes, which lasted until five in the afternoon.

After finishing the last scene, Director Wang also saw that her condition wasn't good; her makeup couldn't hide her poor complexion. He found her and asked, "Xiao Zhi, are you okay?"

Jiang Zhi shook her head, indicating she was fine: "Director Wang, you don't have any scenes today, right?"

Director Wang looked at her state, somewhat worried: "Nothing, you should go rest now."

Jiang Zhi said goodbye to Director Wang, went to the lounge to change clothes, while walking she opened her phone, preparing to call a taxi to the hospital.

Walking to the roadside, she suddenly saw a familiar profile inside a nearby car, thinking she was mistaken due to a high fever, she rubbed her eyes and strode toward that car.

The car started its engine at that moment and drove away from before her eyes.

Jiang Zhi's legs gave out, she stopped, breathing rapidly, her vision darkened, she half-squatted to steady her breath.

Maybe she was mistaken; how could she possibly see Xie Xingyuan here? He should have just woken up in the hospital.

She got into a taxi and went to the hospital.

The doctor gave her an antipyretic injection and had her receive an IV in the infusion room.

Jiang Zhi hadn't rested well these past two days; she was hooked up to saline, leaned back in the chair, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

On the other side.

Seeing her enter the hospital, Xie Xingyuan's face sank.

From when he woke up until now, his confused memories are all of this Jiang Xiao Zhi's figure.

This is clearly an absurd, unscientific thing, yet Xie Xingyuan doesn't find it strange.

After the car accident he turned into a cat, then she saved him, and for these six months he has always stayed by her side.

Even though he was often teased, deceived, and angered by her, when he recalls those memories, they are filled with warmth and beauty.

"Brother Yuan, want to go in?" Wang Pang suppressed his inner doubts and asked softly.

Too suspicious!!

After leaving the hospital, he drove all the way to the film base, parked by the roadside and waited almost an entire afternoon; after that girl named Jiang Xiao Zhi came out, Brother Yuan became very suspicious.

His eyes seemed to stick to her body, especially when he saw her enter the hospital; the worry in his eyes was about to spill over.

Xie Xingyuan glanced at him, his expression cold.

He had been in a coma in the hospital for half a year; now his body is like paralyzed, unable to move, needing constant rehabilitation to recover his former state.

He's practically a vegetable; how could he appear before her?

Wang Pang understood his meaning, hurriedly got out of the driver's seat and went into the hospital.

After searching, he finally found the girl in the infusion room.

He inquired about her condition from the doctor as a friend, then immediately ran out of the hospital to report the information to Brother Yuan.

Xie Xingyuan's head throbbed faintly; he pressed his fingertips together and said slowly, "Go take care of her."

Wang Pang suppressed the shock in his eyes and quickly replied, "Okay, Brother Yuan."

…

When Jiang Zhi woke up, there was an extra wool blanket on her, covering her thoroughly, and beside it was a cup of hot water.

She looked around, saw no one, the IV above her head had finished, she got up, hugged the blanket, walked to the nurse station and asked the nurse: "Hello, may I ask if these were given by you?"

The nurse looked at the blanket in her hand, then after a moment shook her head: "No, we don't have such blankets here."

Jiang Zhi thanked the nurse and left.

Walking out of the hospital, her peripheral vision caught the car parked by the roadside, a very familiar license plate; if she remembered correctly, it was the car she had seen when leaving the film base.

She raised her hand to her forehead, hiding the smile at the corner of her mouth.

"This Xie Xingyuan has a rather stubborn personality; he remembers me, yet he doesn't come see me, but secretly watches and helps me."

777 had no opinion on the antagonist's arrogant nature: "Host, what do you plan to do?"

Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows, pondered a moment, then lightly said: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

This time she didn't call a taxi, but took the bus back to her residence.

Inside a black Maybach not far from the bus.

Xie Xingyuan furrowed his brows slightly, recalling the time they lived together; she was impoverished, could only afford a cramped, tiny room, clearly afraid of the cold yet unwilling to buy even an electric blanket.

But she would buy various nutrients and the expensive cat food Heitan liked for Heitan's sake.

"Idiot." He muttered a low rebuke.

Even sick, she still has to squeeze onto the bus—how stupid can she be!

Wang Pang thought Xie Xingyuan was scolding him, jumped in fright, and instantly became nervous.

Xie Xingyuan pressed his thin lips, lifted his eyes heavily, and said: "Today have the company draft a contract to sign her with a top-tier female star for entertainment."

After speaking, he paused a few seconds, then continued: "Let Pan Jing bring her."

Pan Jing, a top-tier agent, has represented either movie emperors/empresses or international stars who appear on the global silver screen.

At this moment they are serving as the head of the agent department at Jingxing Company's upper management.

Wang Pang was so shocked his mouth couldn't close, and the car almost tipped over.

Just who is this Jiang Xiao Zhi? Could she be Xie Xingyuan's long-lost sister?

…

The car stopped at the entrance of a residential complex; watching Jiang Xiao Zhi walk in, Wang Pang asked, "Xie Xingyuan, do you still want to go in?"

Xie Xingyuan's gaze followed her disappearing back, and only after a long while did he withdraw his eyes.

Gazing at his own body, unable to muster any strength, he said in a low voice: "Go back to rehab."

He must restore his body to normal as soon as possible, then meet her.
