“I was so anxious at the time that I prayed to all the gods and Buddhas, and I didn’t dare to let it show because I was afraid Mom and Dad would be worried,” Xiang Yang recounted her feelings back then.
Shi Xiu quickly came closer and said, “Yun Nan and Shi Nian were in a terrible state when we found them. I was so scared that I cried when I saw them, all covered in dirt and blood.”
Fang Xi was so frightened by the two’s shocking narration that her hair stood on end. She couldn’t help but worry, even though Yun Nan was right in front of her. “What’s going on?” she asked. “Why would someone kidnap them? Did we offend anyone recently?”
Xiang Yang and Shi Xiu stopped talking. That was something even Shi Ke and Chang Yuan hadn’t figured out, so they had no clue whatsoever. Yun Nan saw this and changed the subject. “You went to attend the seminar organized by Mr. Mo. Did you get anything out of it?”
Fang Xi nodded. “Yes, I did! Mr. MO invited all the renowned directors, producers, publishers, and some film critics, both within the country and abroad, to set up a new award.”
There’ll be a complete range of awards, and the prize money is very generous. They also set up a director’s fund; anyone with a good production but insufficient funds can apply. They’ll be able to receive financial aid as long as they meet the requirements. The point of setting up the director’s fund is to support young directors.”
Yun Nan was also quite delighted when she heard that. “I brought back a lot of information and materials. Mr. MO also gave us a mission—he’s asking you to complete a few of his unfinished works. He says he only trusts us to do them justice,” Fang Xi informed Yun Nan in high spirits.
Looking at her beaming friend, Yun Nan thought, ‘Indeed, love can change a person’s mental outlook.’ However, Yun Nan didn’t comment on it. She only said, “Then bring me the materials next time. Oh, and bring my computer, too.
I want to take a look at everything.”
“Slow down there, eager beaver!” Fang Xi scolded. “You’re so injured, and yet you still want to work?! Even Mr. MO will scold you if he hears about this! Your current job is to take care of yourself and recover quickly! Do you hear me? Don’t worry about anything else!”
Shi Xiu agreed. “Fang Xi’s right, Yun Nan. You should leave your work for now and rest. Otherwise, my brother will be worried about you!”
Fang Xi tugged at Shi Xiu’s hair and asked Xiang Yang, “Is she any help here?” Xiang Yang gave that a thought before replying, “She’s more a hindrance than help. If you need her, be my guest and take her away!”
Fang Xi nodded. “I do need her! Shi Xiu, you’ll be coming with me later.”
“Xiang Yang, don’t you love me anymore?” Shi Xiu protested. “How can you reject me like this?”
Xiang Yang stared at her with a smile. Fang Xi tugged Shi Xiu’s hair and teased, “Since no one wants you here, you can go somewhere where you’re wanted. It’s time for you to join the casting crew.”
Shi Xiu’s eyes immediately lit up, and she looked anticipatingly at Yun Nan. Yun Nan smiled and said, “Go ahead. Annie has modified the role quite a bit for you this time. Do your best and act well; you’ll definitely gain a lot from it.”
“I will! Don’t worry, Yun Nan!” Shi Xiu excitedly replied. The girls then continued chatting for a while.
Ye Kun couldn’t help but lower his voice and grumble, “They sure do talk a lot. When are they going to finish? Fang Xi only has eyes for them; she hasn’t even looked at me the entire time we’re here.”
Shi Nian glared at him, thinking, ‘And I haven’t spoken to Yun Nan since I woke up! Despite him not saying anything, Ye Kun, being Shi Nian’s buddy, understood him. Ye Kun gently poked him and urged, “Fake a yawn, man. Do that, and I can get them to leave!”
Shi Nian understood and gave Ye Kun an appreciative look. Ye Kun stood up and deliberately let his chair scrape noisily as he did while Shi Nian faked a yawn. “Shi Nian, are you tired? Then, I’ll visit you tomorrow. Rest well; make sure to sleep whenever you want to. Just treat this as a vacation. Call us if there’s anything!”
Ye Kun’s words successfully attracted the girls’ attention. Fang Xi noticed that Yun Nan also looked tired and concernedly stated, “You should get some sleep, too, Yun Nan. We’ll leave you to your rest. Don’t worry about the company; I’ll handle it! Xiang Yang, you should go home and rest, too. Look at those dark circles under your eyes!”
Yun Nan hurriedly nodded. “Go back and have a good night’s sleep, Xiang Yang.
You’ve lost weight.”
Xiang Yang was slightly worried about leaving the two alone in the hospital. Yun Nan told her, “Don’t worry, Xiang Yang. We’ll be fine. There are doctors and nurses around to help us if we need it.”
Fang Xi patted Xiang Yang’s shoulder. “Yeah, listen to her. Go back and have some rest. You can come back after you wake up. There are doctors and nurses here, so don’t worry.”
After a few rounds of persuading each other, Ye Kun and the others finally left. Shi Nian and Yun Nan both heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at each other. Xiang Yang had thoughtfully pushed their beds closer together before she left; they were close enough to hold hands if they stretched their hands out..
