Chapter 149: Visiting Service
Of course, if he hadn’t saved Lin Xi and even bled, this fragile balance might not have been easily broken.
Lin Xi seemed to have easily seen through Chen Che’s thoughts.
He could not help but think self-deprecatingly. Why did he rather cushion and catch her at that time?
If it happened again, Chen Che would definitely… definitely… Hmm… still catch her.
BANG!
The door slammed shut, and Brother Liu finally left.
As for whether he would call Zhao Chao, it was not Chen Che and Lin Xi’s concern.
This was because when Brother Liu left, his expression was extremely ugly. This time, he was only targeting Lin Xi.
At least on the surface, Lin Xi did not take it to heart. She sighed softly and stood up to gesture to Chen Che. “Come on.”
Chen Che raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Xi, “What do you want me to do?”
Lin Xi waved her hand gently. “You can leave too.”
“Get down.”
“Oh?”
Chen Che did as he was told and lay down.
“Heh.” Lin Xi smiled and sat on the bed. She took out the ointment and began to apply it.
Chen Che turned his head and teased, “Is this considered cleverly tricking me into bed?”
Lin Xi was silent for a long time. As she applied medicine on him, she admitted, “It’s my fault. I always used him as my manager. I couldn’t control him and watched him target you, but I never stood up for you. It’s only right for you to be angry.”
Chen Che asked warily, “Why did you suddenly become understanding?”
Lin Xi replied, “It won’t happen again. With me around, I guarantee that he won’t dare to treat you like this.”
Chen Che was silent for a moment. He lay there with his face buried in the pillow and his body trembling slightly.
Lin Xi looked at him with concern. Chen Che said in a low voice, “If you had done this earlier, I wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
As she spoke, her voice actually choked.
Lin Xi widened her eyes. “You… you’re not crying, right?”
Chen Che instantly looked up. “What do you think?”
Cry?
How could he cry?
It would be impressive if he could hold back his laughter.
Chen Che asked, “What do you think I should be feeling after you say this? Crying under the blanket aggrievedly? Looking for comfort? Or venting the grievances I’ve been suppressing?”
Lin Xi looked at Chen Che intently and suddenly patted his back.
“Hey!”
It was so painful that Chen Che frowned. Just as he was about to turn around, Lin Xi pressed him down. “Don’t move
Chen Che paused and could not help but ask, “Looking at Brother Liu, he looks like he’s about to get violent. Will he hit you because you’re disobedient when you go back?”
“Heh.” Lin Xi chuckled. “Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t dare, especially outside. But it’s different now. Moreover, I have some special status in the company.”
Chen Che was puzzled. “What’s special about it? Special treatments?”
Lin Xi glanced at Chen Che and said calmly, “President Zhang is in charge of all the company’s matters, and Sister Mi is assisting me and has created several good works. Her status in the company is unusual and she has been taking care of me.”
Chen Che frowned. “Between your President Zhang and Sister Mi…”
“No.” Lin Xi shook her head. “They have a good relationship. Sister Mi was once an artiste before setting up a company. She understands the hardships of artistes.”
After a pause, Lin Xi continued, “Sister Mi has a lot of experience. She was once slapped by the director before she became famous. She hates it when celebrities suffer outside. If Brother Liu goes overboard again, I’ll ask Sister Mi and President Zhang for help, no matter how much reason Brother Liu has.”
Chen Che sneered. “I want to ask, you didn’t tell Sister Mi that you were targeted by your manager previously. Now that I’m injured, isn’t it too realistic for you to only attack now?”
“Hehe.” Lin Xi only smiled and didn’t say anything.
Chen Che continued to stare at her. Lin Xi avoided him and said, “I can’t trouble Sister Mi casually. She’s busy. If you suffer a few harsh comments, she might not interfere…”
“I…” Chen Che sat up, and Lin Xi could not stop him.
Fortunately, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock.
Lin Xi stood up and opened the door. Zhao Chao was here.
“How is it? Can you take a shower?”
Zhao Chao entered the house and realized that Chen Che’s back was already covered in medicine.
Chen Che narrowed his eyes at Lin Xi.
Clearly, the two of them had had an argument.
“Brother Chao,” Lin Xi greeted, deliberately avoiding Chen Che.
“Little Xi is here,” Zhao Chao replied with a smile.
Chen Che stopped staring at Lin Xi and called Zhao Chao to sit. “I can take a shower. I already did.”
Zhao Chao sat down. “That’s true. It’s unrealistic to not shower.”
Seeing that Lin Xi was applying medicine on her hand, she gestured to Chen Che. “Continue.”
Zhao Chao glanced at Lin Xi and frowned at Chen Che. “Be careful. A beautiful girl applied medicine for you. Your clothes?”
Chen Che retorted, “Then how about wearing a few layers of clothes and letting her reach out to apply medicine? Think about how… Ah!”
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Che suddenly let out a soft cry and his back was slapped again.
The corners of Chen Che’s mouth curled up as he stared at Lin Xi sharply. “I saved you and you’re taking revenge?”
Lin Xi’s eyes flickered as she asked nervously, “Does it hurt?”
Chen Che ignored her and gestured to Zhao Chao. “Brother Chao, come on. Or get your assistant to help.”
Zhao Chao smiled mysteriously. His gaze wandered between Lin Xi and Chen Che, but he did not say anything.
Suddenly, Zhao Chao seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and looked at Lin Xi. “Xi, don’t take it to heart.”
Lin Xi turned around nervously, her big eyes filled with worry and nervousness, as if she was waiting for a huge storm to come.
This tone indicated that what he said next might be embarrassing.
Zhao Chao looked at Lin Xi’s expression and waved his hand with a smile. “Don’t misunderstand.”
He leaned closer and said seriously, “After interacting with you, I think you’re a good girl. You’re young, beautiful, and sensible. There’s nothing wrong with your character.”
He frowned and said in a more serious tone, “But that agent of yours, those of us who have been in the industry for a long time, although we understand, still think that he’s going a little too far.”
Lin Xi took a deep breath and nodded in acknowledgment. “I’ve told him in private too. Anyway…”
Chen Che interrupted, “Brother Chao, stop talking. She can’t make a decision on anything.”
Lin Xi glanced at Chen Che.
Zhao Chao nodded and said, “I didn’t say anything before because the director and Luo Heng both had their own thoughts. Now that the first episode has been filmed, no matter what your company’s goal is, it has stabilized. Don’t let him affect our overall filming atmosphere.”
Lin Xi said in a low voice, “I understand, Brother Chao.”
Zhao Chao paused and smiled at Chen Che. “That’s true. It’s useless even if
Little Xi knows. I don’t think she can manage him.”
Chen Che scrutinized Lin Xi. “Are you really unable to control him?”
Lin Xi glared at Chen Che and suddenly threw down the medicine bag and rushed out of the room. The door was closed deafeningly.
When Zhao Chao saw this scene, Chen Che was still smiling like a flower. He put the medicine bag aside and followed Lin Xi out.
“You…”
Zhao Chao glared at Chen Che. “Is there something I don’t know? Did her manager warn you behind your back?”
Chen Che chuckled and waved his hand. “It’s not important.”
Zhao Chao stood up and was about to apply medicine on him when Chen Che hurriedly dodged. “It’s almost done.”
The most important thing now was to think about what he should do.
Now that the first episode of filming had ended perfectly, everything was perfect.
Compared to previous seasons, this season’s bold engagement of 400 viewers was innovative..
