Because Yue Jiuli witnessed someone cutting Feng Meng's rope, Feng Meng obeyed Yue Jiuli's instructions and went to the hospital for a checkup. He even had his body examined inside a machine that Yue Jiuli had tampered with.

Are you the patient's relatives?

The doctor in the white coat asked Yue Jiuli and Xiaolan.

As soon as Yue Jiuli saw the doctor asking her a question, she immediately looked worried and said, "Yes, doctor, the person inside is my younger brother. He fell from a very high place today. How is he now?"

After hearing Yue Jiuli's words, the doctor showed her the X-rays that had just been taken and said, "Oh, actually it's not a big problem. He probably just twisted his ankle and hurt his back. He should be fine after a few days of hospitalization."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, doctor. Xiaolan, go and help Xiaomeng with the hospital admission procedures. Oh, and remember to let the film crew know about the situation."

"Oh, I see, Sister Jiuli."

Xiao Lan quickly completed the hospitalization procedures for Feng Meng, then called the director to tell him about Feng Meng's situation and asked for a few days off.

After changing into his hospital gown, Feng Meng lay on the bed playing on his phone. Yue Jiuli saw him and said, "By the way, Feng Meng, hurry up and take a picture of yourself and post it on WeChat Moments. Say something like you're feeling really pitiful in the hospital, quick!"

Feng Meng knew that Yue Jiuli was planning to fake her illness to impress others, so he readily took a few photos and posted them on his WeChat Moments, along with some pitiful and dramatic captions, claiming that he was currently injured and needed to be hospitalized.

Seeing that Feng Meng had finished posting on his WeChat Moments and had been admitted to the hospital, Yue Jiuli said with satisfaction, "Alright, now it's time to see what kind of people are in your crew, and how many are genuinely concerned and how many are just pretending."

Xiao Lan returned after completing the formalities. She ran to Feng Meng's hospital bed and sat down, saying, "I've already called the director. He told you to rest well, that he'll come to see you later, and that we can go back to reshoot when you're better."

Feng Meng nodded: "Yes, the director is a very nice person, I think it definitely wasn't him, but who did I offend?"

"There's no rush. We'll know if there's any news in the next few days."

Seeing that there was no one else in the private room, Yue Jiuli asked Xiaolan to close the door. Then, in front of the two ordinary people, she snapped her fingers and conjured a short, thick bamboo.

"Hey, this bamboo is placed inside the room. If any dirty things get in, it can protect you. That way, I don't have to watch over you all the time. Xiaolan, go find a water glass, put some water in it, and keep it there."

The bamboo is beautiful, emerald green, with a few green bamboo leaves on it. Keeping bamboo in the room, you can also smell a faint bamboo fragrance.

While scrolling through his phone and replying to posts on his WeChat Moments about his hospitalization, Feng Meng watched Yue Jiuli eat with curiosity. Seeing that Yue Jiuli was very picky about her food, only eating meat and not vegetables, Feng Meng asked, "Sister, aren't you a bamboo? Why are you eating meat? Don't bamboos just drink water?"

"What's wrong? Can't I eat meat? Who said bamboo has to be vegetarian? You don't really think I can only drink water, do you?"

Actually, when Feng Meng saw Yue Jiuli eating meat during their previous meal, he really wanted to ask her why a bamboo spirit would eat meat. Aren't bamboo plants supposed to live by drinking water and basking in the sun?

At that time, he and Yue Jiuli were not very familiar with each other, so he did not dare to ask questions casually.

Xiaolan went to order takeout with Yue Jiuli. When she placed the order, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Yue Jiuli ordering braised pork and sweet and sour fish. But now that Feng Meng had mentioned it, she was very curious. She asked Yue Jiuli, "Oh right, why would you eat meat? Can't bamboo just drink water?"

After hearing Feng Meng and Xiao Lan's questions, Yue Jiuli rolled her eyes at them. She said speechlessly, "You're talking about ordinary bamboo. I'm not ordinary bamboo; I'm a spirit! Let me tell you, the food any monster eats before and after becoming a spirit changes drastically. For example, before, I could only drink water and bask in the sun and moonlight. But after I became a spirit, I can eat anything! Oh, and I might even eat people!"

Yue Jiuli's last words were meant to scare Feng Meng and Xiao Lan, but this time she failed to frighten them.

Feng Meng said, "Hehe~ Sister, we're not afraid of you anymore. If you really were a cannibal, you would have done so back on set, but you didn't. So you're not a cannibal."

Xiaolan added, "That's right, so you can't scare us!"

"No, aren't you guys being a bit too confident? What if I deliberately locked you in the hospital to eat?"

Yue Jiuli wondered if the two children trusted her too much.

"Hehe, you wouldn't do that. If you wanted to eat, why didn't you just order takeout? You could have just eaten with us, wouldn't you?"

Xiao Lan ate a piece of broccoli and generously gave her chicken wing to Yue Jiuli.

Yue Jiuli smiled when she saw Rou Rou. She shook her head and said with a smile, "Alright, you guessed right. I really don't eat people. But you can't trust others so easily in the future. You'll be in trouble if you really encounter a monster that likes to eat people."
