21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
Not wanting to disturb Chen Ningsheng's rest time, Xu Xinchen turned her head and looked at herself. She found that the needle in the back of her hand had been removed, which proved that she had regained some mobility. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Xinchen quietly moved her feet, which hadn't been used for a long time, wanting to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. But when she put her feet on the ground, a feeling of weakness suddenly overwhelmed her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
When she fell, her leg hit the edge of the bed, waking Chen Ningsheng, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed.
When Chen Ningsheng opened his eyes, he saw Xu Xinchen lying on the ground. He immediately panicked, rushed over, and helped her up, his voice full of concern: "Xinchen, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Xu Xinchen scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "I, I'm fine, I just had a momentary weakness in my legs and lost my balance. I'm sorry, I woke you up."
Chen Ningsheng helped Xu Xinchen sit back on the bed, placed his hands on Xu Xinchen's legs, and gently massaged them: "If I hear you say such polite and distant things to me again, I will definitely teach you a lesson."
As Chen Ningsheng spoke, he glanced at Xu Xinchen again: "What are you going to do? Why didn't you wake me up? If I had supported you, you wouldn't have fallen, right?"
Xu Xinchen felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and quickly explained, "I just wanted to go out to the restroom. I saw you were sleeping very comfortably and didn't want to disturb you. But I didn't expect that my legs would feel a bit weak from not walking for so long, and I fell down as soon as I got up."
Chen Ningsheng tenderly massaged Xu Xinchen's legs: "Are you feeling any better now? Should we call a doctor to take a look? I saw that you made a loud noise when you fell. Maybe we should have a doctor come and check if any bones are broken."
Xu Xinchen stopped Chen Ningsheng, both amused and exasperated: "No, don't go. Don't worry about me. It's nothing, I just feel weak for a moment, really."
Chen Ningsheng was still a little worried, so he quickly helped Xu Xinchen up and said, "I'll take you there. Don't worry, I'll stay far away from you. Just call me when you come out."
Xu Xinchen looked around and could only nod helplessly. It seemed there was no other way but to have Chen Ningsheng help her across. After all, there was no one else around, and Chen Ningsheng wouldn't allow her to go alone, so she might as well just let him help her.
When Chen Ningsheng saw Xu Xinchen nod in agreement, he quickly helped her walk forward. After Xu Xinchen had walked a few steps, he immediately felt that she was still very weak and could not even walk steadily, so he simply picked her up and carried her horizontally.
Xu Xinchen screamed in fright and reached out to cling to Chen Ningsheng's neck: "Chen Ningsheng? What are you doing? Put me down right now, I can walk by myself."
Chen Ningsheng smiled and rubbed Xu Xinchen's arm: "You don't have much strength right now, so let me carry you over. Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
"That's not how it is." Xu Xinchen was extremely shy and struggled gently: "Put me down quickly, this is so strange, just help me walk over."
Chen Ningsheng completely ignored Xu Xinchen's words and strode towards the restroom. He gave Xu...
Xinchen prepared a private room with a bathroom inside, so she didn't have to go outside and squeeze in with others.
Therefore, Chen Ningsheng only took a few steps before reaching the restroom. He placed Xu Xinchen on the restroom floor and smiled as he closed the door, saying, "I'll wait for you in the side. Call me when you're ready, and I'll carry you out."
Xu Xinchen glared at Chen Ningsheng resentfully, her eyes filled with shyness: "You're not allowed to hug me like that anymore. Just help me over there."
Chen Ningsheng smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and walked directly to the side.
Xu Xinchen suppressed her embarrassment and took care of her personal needs. She then stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
The woman reflected in the mirror had disheveled hair and a pale face. Because she hadn't eaten for many days, her cheeks looked much thinner, and at first glance, she looked like a ghost.
Moreover, she has become increasingly thin, and when she looks in the mirror, she looks like a skeleton. I reckon she will need to eat well and take good care of herself for half a month or a month or two to recover.
Xu Xinchen splashed some water on her hair and combed it. Staring at herself in the mirror, she suddenly laughed: "It's really hard on him. He can actually stand to look at me like this."
However, this also indirectly confirms that Chen Ningsheng genuinely likes her. For Chen Ningsheng, appearance doesn't add any points; thinking of this, Xu Xinchen felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
She reached out and patted her flushed cheeks: "Alright, Xu Xinchen, how old are you? You've lived two lifetimes already. Why are you still acting like a little girl? Don't think too much. Hurry up and go out."
Chen Ningsheng, who was standing outside, heard Xu Xinchen open the door and immediately came over, once again...
He picked her up.
This time, Xu Xinchen did not resist. Instead, she obediently buried her head in Chen Ningsheng's neck and whispered, "Hurry up and go over there. I'll be so embarrassed if someone comes in and sees us."
Chen Ningsheng was a little confused looking at Xu Xinchen. He couldn't understand why Xu Xinchen would suddenly be willing to let him hug her like this after going to the bathroom.
However, Xu Xinchen didn't struggle, which naturally saved him a lot of effort. Chen Ningsheng immediately hugged Xu Xinchen tightly and replied loudly, "Don't worry, no one else will come in. How about I carry you around the ward a few times? Just like taking a walk, okay?"
Xu Xinchen shyly nudged Chen Ningsheng: "Don't even think about it, just put me back on the hospital bed, I'm exhausted."
In fact, Xu Xinchen had slept for so long, how could she possibly feel tired? She was just shy and didn't want Chen Ningsheng to carry her around the ward, lest a doctor come to check on her and they saw her, which would be incredibly embarrassing for her.
Chen Ningsheng clearly understood what Xu Xinchen was thinking. He lowered his head, kissed Xu Xinchen's forehead, and chuckled softly, "Okay, I understand, my baby."
