Shi Xiu had lost some weight but gained muscles. She looked toned and healthy.
Shi Xiu grabbed Yun Nan’s hand and said, eyes wet, “Yun Nan, take me to Fang
Xi.”
‘This kid!’ Yun Nan thought and patted Shi Xiu’s shoulder. “There’s no need to rush; Fang Xi isn’t going anywhere. I’ll bring you home to see your parents and grandfather. Then, you should take a shower and get some sleep.”
The one Shi Xiu respected and obeyed the most was Yun Nan, so she readily agreed. Anxiety had plagued her the entire journey back, but her agitated emotions suddenly calmed the moment she saw Yun Nan.
Yun Nan told Shi Xiu about the recent scandals about her on the way home. Shi Xiu was very calm about it. “Mika told me everything when I finished filming. Don’t worry, Yun Nan. I won’t be rash. Let those rumors spread; they won’t hurt me anyway. Time will tell, so I’ll leave it to time to make them eat their words.” Yun Nan looked at her and sighed, “That’s very mature. You’ve grown up.”
Shi Xiu embarrassedly rubbed her face. “My life was too smooth in the past compared to you, Fang Xi, and Xiang Yang. This little bit of slander is no big deal! My paltry grievances aren’t worth mentioning compared to what those girls who had to spend their whole lives in the mountains have suffered.” Yun Nan thought, ‘As expected, real-world experience is the best way to grow.’
Shi Xiu looked at Yun Nan. “Yun Nan, I want to stop taking on roles for now. I want to return to the company to gain experience in other kinds of work. Just send me wherever the company is lacking people, okay?”
Yun Nan smiled and agreed. “Alright! What would you like to do?”
Shi Xiu shook her head. “It’s not about what I would like to do; I’ll become whatever kind of person the company needs. I don’t want to always be catered to by everyone. I want to do my best for the company and everyone.”
Warm feelings surged in Yun Nan’s heart, and she solemnly replied, “Alright.
Return to the company with me for a meeting after you’ve finished visiting Fang Xi.”
Shi Xiu was relieved. She leaned back in her seat and gently closed her eyes. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed. Yun Nan reached out and stroked her head. She recalled that when she was Shi Xiu’s age, she had already suffered a lot but still firmly believed that her future would definitely be bright. No matter what, people must have confidence in themselves and firm goals and move forward bravely.
“Ye Kun?” Shi Xiu exclaimed as she looked at the gaunt and emaciated Ye Kun in shock, almost unable to recognize him.
Ye Kun was pleasantly surprised to see Shi Xiu. He pulled her over and said, “Shi Xiu, come and talk to Fang Xi. Her condition has been quite good these past few days. The doctor said she might wake up at any moment. I was just about to tell Yun Nan to come and talk to Fang Xi more often. We must wake her up!”
Shi Xiu immediately walked to Fang Xi’s bedside when she heard that. Ye Kun held Fang Xi’s hand and softly uttered, “Fang Xi, Shi Xiu is back. I’ll let her talk to you.”
He handed Fang Xi’s hand to Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu’s tears streamed down her cheeks as she said, “Fang Xi, I’m back. I finished my scenes. I didn’t embarrass you. I performed very well; the director and my teachers are all quite satisfied.”
Ye Kun silently retreated. Just as he walked out, his vision blacked out, and he swayed. Shi Nian quickly grabbed and supported him, asking worriedly, “Ye Kun? Are you alright?”
Ye Kun composed himself and waved his hand. “I’m fine. I’m fine. It’s probably just low blood sugar.”
Yun Nan immediately summoned a nurse. Not allowing Ye Kun to object, she stated, “Please give Ye Kun a physical examination. Give him a tranquilizer if necessary and force him to rest.”
Ye Kun anxiously protested, “Yun Nan, I can’t leave right now—I‘
“You need to rest!” Yun Nan interrupted him. “Ye Kun, how are you going to take care of Fang Xi if you’re not in good health? If Fang Xi wakes up and you collapse… Are you two planning to be a pair of tragic lovebirds? Listen to me:
Rest up, sleep, and wait for Fang Xi’s good news!”
Ye Kun fell silent. Shi Nian patted his shoulder and added, “Yun Nan’s right. Fang Xi isn’t fighting alone, Ye Kun. You must maintain your strength—you can’t collapse!”
Ye Kun obediently followed the nurse, and Yun Nan sighed softly. Shi Nian patted and reassured her, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Shi Xiu pushed Liang Han’s office door open and shouted, “Liang Han!”
Liang Han was thrilled to see her. “My little angel, when did you come home? Aren’t you out on a filming trip? What brings you here? Your brother and sister-in-law didn’t even tell me you were coming back. Oh, our little angel is truly getting more and more angelic! You actually remembered to visit your dear brother, Liang Han. I’m very flattered.. Tell me, what would you like to eat or play? Big brother Liang Han will take you out for a wild ride!”
