Chapter 181: Applying Medicine for You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhao Chao: “Your manager is protecting Little Xi like a hen, afraid that others will touch her. She’s chasing after Luo Heng. I understand the company’s intentions, but it’s too obvious.”
Liang Mi said in a low voice, “How can you do this? Aren’t you afraid of losing face?”
Zhao Chao laughed mockingly. “Who are you talking to? Isn’t he your company’s manager?”
Liang Mi was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m just a shareholder.”
Zhao Chao waved his hand. “Stop pretending. I know that you started a company with your manager. Besides, hasn’t your company always put you at the front? Who wouldn’t think of you first when it comes to Windrun?”
Zhao Chao stopped smiling and said seriously, “We’ve filmed a movie together before. Let me give you a suggestion. You can’t interfere, but the tarnished reputation will be yours. No matter if others are shareholders or not, you’ve never explained that you’re not the boss. To outsiders, you’ve always been one of the partners.”
Zhao Chao paused for a moment and continued, “I’m being nosy. Little Xi is a good person. I don’t know any other artistes and don’t care. Let me remind you that she’s worth you keeping. After this season ends, she’ll definitely rise. Think about it yourself.”
Liang Mi was silent for a long time before saying, “I understand. Thank you, Brother Chao.”
The two of them chatted casually for a while more before hanging up.
In fact, the intentions of both sides were very clear.
Zhao Chao implicitly told Liang Mi that Chen Che was his brother.
The hidden meaning was that if they met Chen Che again in the future and he did nothing wrong, their company should not make things difficult for him.
The second point was that Little Xi was a good person. This was also a hint that as the captain, he would take care of her to a certain extent during this season. “And cake?”
After sending them off, Chen Che and Lin Xi waited for the food to be packed.
Lin Xi was waiting outside while Chen Che was inside.
Not long after, Chen Che came out with food.
Lin Xi went forward to help and realized that he still had a big cake box in his hand, so she asked curiously.
Chen Che nodded. “It’s Sister Feifei’s idea for the director. The director has never been there before. He still has to wrap things up.”
Lin Xi did not ask further. She carried the food and followed Chen Che.
Chen Che glanced at her and suddenly reminded her, “Wear a mask.”
Lin Xi glared at Chen Che and took out her mask. “Are you afraid of being photographed with me? Afraid of taking advantage of my popularity?”
Chen Che nodded gently. “Indeed, you’re quite popular. However, you understand, right? You’re the one worried, not me.”
Lin Xi glanced at him. She was holding the food with both hands and couldn’t wear her mask.
Chen Che took the mask and smiled. “Let me help you.”
He held the cake in one hand and slowly put a mask on her with the other.
However, a few strands of hair happened to be stuck in the mask.
Chen Che gently pushed his hair away and suddenly stopped.
Lin Xi looked at him in confusion.
Chen Che sighed. “No wonder your manager couldn’t help but flare up. We’re always so ambiguous.”
Lin Xi chuckled and buttoned her mask.
Chen Che smiled mischievously and took the food from her hand.
As they walked through the streets at night, the temperature gradually dropped.
Chen Che asked with concern, “Are you cold?”
Lin Xi replied, “It’s alright.”
She did not suggest that Chen Che put down his things. Instead, she put her hands in her pockets and walked with her head lowered.
Chen Che realized that Lin Xi rubbed her shoulders and arms from time to time.
He handed the food in his hand to her, then took off his jacket to put it on her.
Lin Xi refused. “No need. You can wear it.”
Chen Che was helpless. “Just take it and put it on yourself. You don’t have to wait for me to put it on you. Wouldn’t that be ambiguous?”
Lin Xi smiled and said, “Why are you so full of ambiguity?”
Chen Che smiled and put a coat on her. Lin Xi wrapped the coat tightly around her and felt the residual warmth.
Chen Che blinked. “Are you still cold?”
Lin Xi held back her laughter. “What if it’s still cold?”
Chen Che stood still and was about to take off his sweater when Lin Xi hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t! I feel that you’re completely different from before. You’re really two extremes!”
Chen Che nodded. “When a woman tells a man that you’re like a child, it usually means that her maternal instincts are slowly awakening.”
Filled with anticipation, Chen Che asked, “Will you always let me bask in the glory and hype?”
“There’s no need. I’ll find someone myself,” Lin Xi replied calmly without looking back.
Chen Che’s expression was solemn as he grabbed his jacket. “Give me back my clothes.”
“Hmph.”
Lin Xi dodged. Chen Che did not say anything and quickly returned to the hotel.
Chen Che took the food and cake and walked towards Zhang Enyi’s room.
Lin Xi also returned to her room.
Knock knock knock.
Click.
The knock on the door was followed by the sound of the door opening.
Their eyes met. Chen Che looked at Lin Xi, who was standing at the door, in confusion.
Lin Xi remained silent and only handed him a bag of ointment.
Chen Che, who had taken the medicine bag, saw her turn around and leave. He could not help but shout, “You’re leaving just like that?”
Lin Xi turned around in confusion. “I returned it to you.”
“No…” Chen Che said hesitantly, “You’re not going to help apply the medicine?”
Lin Xi turned to look at Chen Che. “I thought you didn’t like me applying medicine for you, so I returned it to you so you can find someone else to help.”
Chen Che nodded helplessly. “Forget it. That’s all.”
He threw the medicine bag behind her and looked at Lin Xi. “When I was free, you didn’t come to apply the medicine for me. Now that no one is around, you’re leaving?”
“Hmph.” Lin Xi forced a smile. Chen Che turned around and let her in. “Come on, don’t stand on ceremony.”
After saying that, he scratched his back and frowned. “I feel a little itchy…”
“Don’t scratch!”
Lin Xi walked forward and glared at him before walking in.
After entering the house, Chen Che had already taken off his shirt and was lying on the bed.
She had to admit that Chen Che was the most perfect man Lin Xi had ever seen. He was 1.86 meters tall, had long legs, broad shoulders, and an inverted triangle torso. His figure was excellent.
However, Lin Xi understood that she could not be obsessed with beauty. After all, she had to face all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women at all times in the entertainment industry.
She adjusted her mentality and began to apply medicine to Chen Che.
“Why are you so enthusiastic about asking me to help you today?”
Lin Xi asked gently with a smile on her lips. She began to apply the ointment on Chen Che.
Chen Che responded to her smile. After a while, his expression suddenly became serious. “By the way… after your manager is chased back, will your company have any objections towards you?”
Lin Xi rubbed Chen Che’s back and said softly, “You helped me do so many things behind my back, but you didn’t tell me. What are you thinking?”
Chen Che snorted awkwardly. “I don’t seem to have considered it.”
Lin Xi’s hand stopped and she glanced at him with her big bright eyes. Chen Che was lying there humming a song.
“Hey.”
Chen Che turned around helplessly and saw Lin Xi pouring the entire bag of trauma medicine on his back.
After pouring, Lin Xi casually pushed the bag to the side.
Chen Che thought to himself, Couldn’t you have just fallen to the side previously?
It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
Naughty!
“Speaking of which, you’ve been especially active today.”
Lin Xi checked his back and said reproachfully, “You’ve done so much behind my back. If the director hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known. You actually want to call Sister Mi?”
Chen Che pretended to be innocent and said, “I still wanted to call Mr. Chu and ask him to delete your scenes.”
Lin Xi widened her eyes and looked at Chen Che for a while. Then, she took out the external injuries medicine.. “No wonder Brother Liu said that you’re casting a long line to catch a big fish…”
