Chapter 46
The next morning, after the doctor's check, the people and cars sent by Zhai Feiyun had already arrived at the hospital. That Dr. Zong also ran over to join the fun again. When Mu Wei was carried into the RV, Zong doctor walked into the carriage, first bewitchingly tucked the long curly hair beside his cheek behind his ear, and then looked at Mu Wei with a smile.
"How did you offend Producer Shentu?"
Mu Wei frowned. His relationship with Producer Shentu wasn't bad, and he didn't remember when he had committed a taboo of Producer Shentu.
"Didn't you feel pain when you were getting stitches?"
"..." He had never suffered an injury that required stitches since he was a child, and didn't know how painful getting stitches "should" be.
"It's not my business, I just found out, Producer Shentu major shareholder called the anesthesiologist on duty directly that night..."
☆, Chapter 48: Past Events Passed
Seeing Mu Wei sitting in a wheelchair like a semi-finished mummy being pushed into the living room by He Lele, Ruan Lin's gloating on the sofa was overflowing, but when he knew that in order to take care of Mu Wei, He Lele had to guard Mu Wei except for meal times, and even had to sleep on the floor in his room at night, Ruan Lin's eyes floated out a sentence nakedly—
Why don't you just die.
"Mr. Ruan, your face?"
Ruan Lin smiled handsomely, "It's okay, it will disappear in two days. Compared to some bastard, what is my little injury?"
"But aren't you having a new film press conference tomorrow?"
"..."How did you know? Oh... so you're actually my fan?" A touch of pride rose in Ruan Lin's black eyes.
"Are you two done talking?" Mu Wei glanced at the incomparably proud Ruan Lin impatiently, pressed the remote control of the electric wheelchair, and drove toward the elevator.
He Lele hurried to follow, but when she passed Ruan Lin, she was grabbed by him. Ruan Lin stood up from the sofa and sized up He Lele's body for a while.
"Are you... okay?"
"... Mm, clean." She answered in a low voice, feeling a bit embarrassed. She didn't forget what she had once promised...
"No, I mean... forget it." A sense of powerlessness hit his brain, and Ruan Lin sat back on the sofa to read the script.
That night, Producer Shentu Mo didn't return to the apartment. He Lele took time to see Qin Zhixiu at night and found that Jiji was already there.
"It's okay, you go take care of Mu Wei," Qin Zhixiu smiled gently, as clean as a lotus, making her almost unable to remember the appearance of him being drunk and chaotic when she first met him.
"Good night, Mr. Qin, Mr. Ji."
"Hmph." Jiji snorted contemptuously.
Before the elevator door closed, He Lele clearly heard a sentence—
"Let her go take care of him. I'm afraid Mu Wei's left leg hasn't healed yet, and the leg in the middle will be abolished. Stay away from her in the future."
And the sentence she didn't hear was:
"Jiji... you're finished."
Taking care of Mu Wei wasn't easy. Every change of medicine, wiping the body, and massage took a lot of time. Fortunately, Mu Wei was cooperative. Most of the time, he was half-lying on the bed, watching TV and reading magazines, basically not looking at her directly. Even when feeding him, he was flipping through magazines, eating one bite and then another.
"Lele, you haven't called me for several days, why do I feel you are busier than me? Did you encounter any trouble? If you have anything, you must tell me!"
When Mu Wei was taking a nap, she happened to receive a call from Ren Lingyu. She walked to the balcony, sat on the platform leaning against the wall, listening to her friend's concern, letting the strong light of the sun burn her skin. She could feel many grievances and repressions gradually fading.
Every gain and loss is between looking up and bowing down. Whether it is sorrow or joy depends on the direction of the heart. If the heart is quiet, it is strong; if there is no desire, it is hard. As long as family is safe and friends are happy, as long as their love is always with her, she doesn't need to care too much about other things, especially... when she is powerless to care.
She knew very well that she was just an ordinary person, without heaven-defying powerful abilities, and could only... live with the trend, strive to maintain her original heart, not be changed by the environment, not be tempted by others, and live simply, happily, and contentedly.
Producer Shentu Mo returned at dinner time, but Jiji and Qin Zhixiu were nowhere to be seen. Before Ruan Lin could pick up his chopsticks, Producer Shentu dragged Ruan Lin to the seventh floor. He Lele went up to see with some worry and saw the two fighting fiercely on the boxing ring. Just looking at their appearance, one couldn't tell they had such agile skills. Their movements were strong and smooth, their reactions were agile and fast, without any redundant exploratory movements. Every move and style was orderly and evenly matched.
Seeing the two just sparring, she went to serve Mu Wei dinner. The entertainment news reported on TV said that Ruan Lin was absent from the press conference due to his secret look, and as a special surprise, the film's production team announced that the popular idol singer Qin Zhixiu would create and sing the film's theme song and ending song.
He Lele originally listened casually, but when the host mentioned the name of the second female lead of "Life and Death," she couldn't help but turn her head and stare at the TV screen.
The second female lead's name was—Du Wei.
The news didn't show the scene of the press conference again, and she couldn't judge from Qin Zhixiu's expression whether this Du Wei was the girl he had always loved. But Qin Zhixiu and Jiji hadn't returned yet...
"How long do you intend to watch?" Mu Wei's voice was clearly magnetic and rich, very charming, but since that day, there was always a thick smell of gunpowder when he spoke to her.
He Lele turned her head and continued to pick food for him.
"... Mr. Mu, I did do things that made you angry, but you have also... punished me. Can't we let the past pass and get along peacefully? At least if you are happy, your injuries will heal faster."
"Do you think that after provoking me, that little punishment can make me stop being angry?"
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"..." Mu Wei lowered his eyes to look at the magazine. What did he want her to do? A woman who sold herself had messed up his affairs. In the past, he would definitely have called someone to abolish her, how could he "hope she does something"! But now, a ball of fire was still burning in his stomach, but he didn't let anyone continue to attack her, and even let her stay by his side so he could watch her get angrier every day—was he crazy!
Ding-ling! The elevator doorbell rang.
