Chapter 113 Negative News

“Uh…” Ji Mingchuan’s face was scrunched up. “Luo Huayi… he only has one kidney.”

"He had previously donated a kidney, and if he were to donate again... he would die."

Xin Que looked suspicious, then her expression gradually turned to shock, "He...only has one kidney? How is that possible..."

"Could it be that Luo Huayi was the one who donated a kidney to save me before???"

She glanced down at her perfectly intact side, then at Luo Huayi's, and her pupils dilated in shock.

Cheng Zheng covered his face and leaned against the wall, his shoulders twitching violently.

Ji Mingchuan's lips twitched, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Uh... in short, he can't donate a kidney anymore. It would really kill someone."

“There’s one more thing…” Ji Mingchuan’s expression became more and more distorted as he spoke, each word spitting out between his teeth, “The medications prepared before the surgery damaged his body, and the various emotional ups and downs caused a chemical reaction that cannot be explained by common sense… In short, the pregnant woman… he… he miscarried.”

Ji Mingchuan felt that his brain was being eroded by these lines and was no longer functioning properly.

Xin Que glanced at Luo Huayi.

Luo Huayi frowned in thought, then clutched her abdomen and then her lower back.

“Miscarriage…no,” Luo Huayi had never seen such a scene before. He clutched his waist, unsure how to act it out. “How do you act out a miscarriage?”

Cheng Zheng pondered the symptoms of miscarriage, "Don't TV dramas have those kinds of plots? The female lead gets hit by a car and starts bleeding or something..."

Ji Mingchuan looked on with disbelief. "He's a man bleeding? Are you sure it's not a ruptured hemorrhoid?"

Luo Huayi: "Get out!"

Xin Que's lips twitched, and her thoughts immediately wandered, "Then he can't go to the gynecology department like the female lead, he'll have to go to the proctology department, right?"

Luo Huayi: "You get out too!"

"Anyway," Ji Mingchuan cleared his throat, "Xin Que, you should first try to persuade the patient. Pregnant women who have miscarried need to be properly counseled..."

Cheng Zheng silently shut his mouth and watched the show.

Xin Que glanced at Luo Huayi, who was still gathering her emotions, and asked, "Where should we go to comfort her?"

Ji Mingchuan: "...Is it possible that we'll have to go back to the ward for observation after the surgery?"

Xin Que: "...To be honest, after the gender swap, it's hard for me to treat many things with common sense."

The four of them briefly shared a bewildered expression, and then they all sighed in unison.

...

After returning to her ward, Luo Huayi was still pondering how to portray a state of mental exhaustion and weakness.

Xin Que saw him enter the ward and reluctantly knocked on the door.

As soon as I entered the ward, the door closed automatically.

Ji Mingchuan stared blankly.

Cheng Zheng and Ji Mingchuan stood in front of the empty ward. A nurse passing by looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you two looking for?"

Cheng Zheng was the first to realize, "No...we've gone to the wrong ward."

Ji Mingchuan "!!!"

"What happened?!" Ji Mingchuan was in disbelief. He looked at his hospital gown and then at the empty ward in front of him, utterly shocked. "Where's my boss?!"

Cheng Zheng sighed, "They... I guess they still have a role to play?"

"So, since it's none of our business anymore, the ghost wall finally let us out?"

Ji Mingchuan's pupils dilated in shock. He turned around and went back to the next ward to get his phone. "I know a few masters, I just don't believe it..."

Cheng Zheng "..."

“Give up,” Cheng Zheng said with a calm demeanor, as if he had seen through the ups and downs of life. “They should be out of the picture once their scenes are finished.”

...

Luo Huayi looked out the window at the empty corridor; Cheng Zheng and Ji Mingchuan were nowhere to be seen.

Xin Que exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent, "Interesting! The plot space is so meticulously planned. Ji Mingchuan and Cheng Zheng have no more scenes, so they just sent them out and isolated them from us?"

Luo Huayi fell silent.

Xin Que caught a glimpse of the man's right hand unconsciously gripping his left arm, and she noticed a slight tightening in his grip. "Isn't there a window here? You have claustrophobia?"

Luo Huayi suddenly came to her senses.

"No." He denied it, then tried to defend himself, but swallowed the words back.

“Let’s hurry up and finish the last scene,” Luo Huayi changed the subject, “This part makes people… very uncomfortable.”

Xin Que did not ask any further questions.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Perhaps it was the impenetrable silence that made everyone more tense, because Luo Huayi couldn't help but break the silence first, "Uh... what was this part of the plot again?"

Xin Que pondered for a moment, "It's probably... dialogue about the female lead's failed attempt to have her kidney removed, her miscarriage, and her depression?"

Luo Huayi “…”

Okay.

He had no choice.

"Uh," Luo Huayi wasn't as dedicated and focused on the script as before; instead, she seemed a little distracted. "You didn't get the kidney, are you disappointed?"

Xin Que frowned and read her lines aloud, "Why didn't you tell me that you were the one who donated a kidney to save me?"

"You've made me love the wrong person all these years..."

Luo Huayi felt a wave of disgust wash over her, "Are you crazy? Why is this being blamed on the female lead?!"

Xin Que also wanted to complain, but she finished her lines first, "I won't allow you to look at me with such cold eyes. Let me tell you, Luo Huayi, even if I'm wrong, you've already punished me with my unborn child..."

Luo Huayi leaned back against the headboard, looking at the question mark on her phone, "I need a word that's even more aggressive than 'birth'."

Xin Que breathed a sigh of relief after reciting her lines, then looked at Luo Huayi with disdain, "Isn't this your original script?"

Luo Huayi: "???"

He shuddered with disgust. "I would rather die than admit that I am the same person as this character!"

Xin Que watched Luo Huayi break down, arms crossed, and said coldly, "You have to pretend whether you want to admit it or not, or do you want to stay here forever?"

Luo Huayi “…”

Luo Huayi took a few deep breaths, and finally said with a frustrated expression, "You... do you have to force me to my death before you're satisfied?"

"I was blind back then, risking my life to save a blind and heartless bastard like you..."

Xin Que, arms crossed, listened to Luo Huayi's performance with a frown. Upon hearing this, she said, "Remember to mention the theme of this play."

Luo Huayi “…”

His expression was ferocious as he gripped the blankets on the hospital bed, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Even though I miscarried because of you! You still won't let me go, will you?!"

Xin Que looked up and met Cheng Zheng's eyes as he pushed the door open and entered.

Luo Huayi suddenly collapsed into the quilt, pulling it all the way up.

Ji Mingchuan was following behind Cheng Zheng, making a phone call to call for help. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xin Que appear in the ward again.

Cheng Zheng glanced at the withdrawn Luo Huayi, then at Xin Que, and asked, "President Luo, you've already had your miscarriage?"

Xin Que "..."

Are you really not afraid of getting fired?

Is this the cheat code for President Wen Zhongxin's special assistant?

Cheng Zheng became serious. "President Luo, we have news from the public relations department... Someone is hyping up the black market activities of the Eternal Life Exorcism Society on the cruise ship online."

Luo Huayi pulled back the covers. "Hasn't the news already explained the Victoria incident clearly? Why would PR focus on this?"

After they were rescued by the rescue team, everything that happened on the Victoria was twisted by an unseen force into a story of three factions killing each other due to conflicts of interest, which led to the cruise ship being blown up and capsized.

Cheng Zheng hesitated for a moment, but continued, “Some people are stirring up trouble, saying that you… were able to survive because you are actually an accomplice of the Eternal Life Society.”
