Their eyes met...

Seeing the panic and helplessness in Qin Wan's eyes, Huo Jin's unease vanished instantly.

"Are you alright?" Huo Jin propped himself up and asked Qin Wan with concern.

“…No.” Qin Wan shook her head and quickly stood up. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

"I...I'll explain to you later, okay?" Qin Wan seemed to have thought of something, a hint of annoyance and guilt flashing in her eyes.

"It's just a fall, it's nothing serious." Seeing Qin Wan's flustered and helpless appearance, Huo Jin subconsciously comforted her.

Are you alright?

"Huo Jin, are you hurt?"

"Qin Wan, how could you be so careless?"

Wen Xin's sudden voice interrupted the eye contact and conversation between Qin Wan and Huo Jin.

Wen Xin rushed to Huo Jin's side and reached out to help him up, but Huo Jin dodged her hand...

Wenxin's hand froze in mid-air, her face also frozen in worry and concern...

In just a second, she composed herself and looked at Huo Jin with a hurt expression.

"I was just worried about you..."

"Thank you." Huo Jin replied perfunctorily before turning to look at Qin Wan.

"Can your legs still walk?"

Just as Qin Wan was about to speak, Huo Jin spoke up again, "No lying allowed."

"..." Qin Wan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "It hurts a little."

She had barely finished speaking when her body suddenly levitated into the air...

Startled, she instinctively reached out and hugged Huo Jin's neck, looking at him with a panicked expression.

"I'll carry you inside."

"...No, it's not necessary." Qin Wan's face flushed slightly, her eyes filled with panic.

Huo Jin ignored her refusal and carried her into the villa.

Behind them, Gu Xiangnan and Wen Xin's expressions were simultaneously grim, though Wen Xin's expression control was slightly worse, her eyes blatantly filled with jealousy.

Nearby on the swing, Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Yue were simultaneously eating sunflower seeds and watching the show.

"I don't think things will be quiet tonight," Su Xiaoxiao said.

"It won't stop anytime soon," Yin Yue said.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao paused in her sunflower seed-cracking motion, turned to look at Yin Yue, and silently gave him a thumbs up, "Brother, you've hit the nail on the head."

“I bet Wenxin will be the first to lose her temper tonight.” As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao shook the watch on her wrist.

"Shall we bet?"

Yin Yue glanced at her and said seriously, "We are public figures and we need to be careful about our words and actions. Gambling will corrupt social morals, and we cannot do such a thing."

Su Xiaoxiao: "???"

I never expected you to be such a pedantic and old-fashioned person, Yin Yue.

He's supposed to be an idol at the forefront of trends, a popular young star, so why are his thoughts so stagnant?

After finishing his sunflower seeds, Yin Yue stood up and clapped his hands. "It's late, I should go back and rest. You should rest early too. Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy. Staying up late can cause swelling, which will affect your appearance on camera tomorrow."

After saying this, leaving the stunned Su Xiaoxiao behind, Yin Yue slowly went back into the house with his hands in his pockets.

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

living room.

When Gu Xiangnan and Wen Xin came in, Huo Jin was sitting on the sofa, rubbing Qin Wan's sprained ankle with medicinal wine...

Wen Xin: "!!!"

What makes Qin Wan so special?

Has Huo Jin gone mad?

He, a renowned actor, actually went to massage the ankle of a second- or third-tier actress.

Wenxin was furious and quickly stepped forward to interrupt, "Why is Wanwan's ankle so swollen? Shouldn't we take her to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"It's nothing, just a slight twist. It's late now, and the hospital is closed. Let's talk about it tomorrow," Qin Wan said.

Huo Jin completely ignored Wen Xin.

At this moment, Gu Xiangnan stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Huo Jin's hand.

Huo Jin turned to look at him.

“I’ve already contacted the family doctor, he’ll be here in ten minutes. We don’t know anything about this, so it’s best not to do anything rash, in case we hurt Qin Wan again…” Gu Xiangnan’s implication was clear.

Huo Jin understood, but he did not let go as Gu Xiangnan wished.

“I’ve studied it,” Huo Jin suddenly said.

"What?" Gu Xiangnan was taken aback.

Huo Jin glanced at him, a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashing in her eyes. "I filmed a TV series before, where I played an orthopedic surgeon. To improve the filming effect, I specifically studied with an orthopedic surgeon for a period of time."

"Qin Wan only has a minor sprain. It looks scary, but it's not serious. As long as you rub it with medicated wine in time and rest for three or four days, the swelling will go down and she can walk normally."

"...But you're not a real doctor after all."

Gu Xiangnan knew that it was no longer appropriate for him to say anything more at this point, but he couldn't help it and didn't want to see any more intimate interactions between Huo Jin and Qin Wan.

Physical contact, in particular, is something he absolutely cannot accept or tolerate!

He had liked Qin Wan for so many years, so why should Huo Jin, a newcomer, surpass him?

For so many years, Qin Wan has always been cold and indifferent to him, so why should Huo Jin be the exception?

“It’s useful.” At this moment, Qin Wan suddenly spoke up.

"You came in too late to see, but my foot isn't as swollen as it was just now. Huo Jin's technique is really amazing," Qin Wan explained.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiangnan wanted to say something more, but he stopped himself from speaking.

He could only watch helplessly as Huo Jin and Qin Wan interacted as if no one else was around, and as Qin Wan's attitude towards Huo Jin changed again and again...

We can't let this continue any longer!

Gu Xiangnan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes darkened.

At this moment, Wenxin, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but speak up, "Wanwan, you should be more careful in the future. You can fall down on such a flat path in the yard. What will you do if you have to walk on those rugged mountain paths when you go to film in the mountains?"

Wen Xin's words seemed to be a concern for Qin Wan, but anyone with a bit of intelligence could tell that something was amiss...

Qin Wan originally intended to explain to Huo Jin privately...

But Wen Xin has already said all this, wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of it?

As soon as Wen Xin finished speaking, she saw Qin Wan's face show guilt and regret.

"sorry."

This is the second time Qin Wan has apologized to him...

Thinking of Qin Wan's hesitant expression in the courtyard just now, and then thinking of his intimate mission, Huo Jin understood.

“I don’t blame you,” Huo Jin suddenly said.

Upon hearing his answer, Qin Wan looked surprised.

"So, what is your intimate mission?" Huo Jin looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.

"You're not going to drag me into a wrestling match, are you?" Huo Jin suddenly joked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan quickly waved her hand and shook her head in denial, "No, no."

"It's...it's a hug."

"Because I can't tell you, I originally wanted to pretend to accidentally twist my ankle and fall into your arms, so that I could complete my mission."

"But I didn't expect..." Qin Wan stopped mid-sentence, as if she had remembered something she was ashamed to say, and looked annoyed and regretful.

"But you didn't expect that you would actually sprain your ankle by accident." Huo Jin chuckled and finished her sentence for her.

Qin Wan: "..." If I said I did it on purpose, would you believe me?
