Chapter 719 Twenty-Four Hours of Sleepiness
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
"What's up?"
"Here's the thing, there's an auntie next door to me whose daughter has been acting strangely lately. She often stays in her room alone, talking to herself, and I don't know what she's doing. Every time her parents try to go into her room to check on her, she gets very agitated. At first, the auntie just thought that her daughter was going through puberty and had her own little secrets."
Li Qinyan paused for a moment, then said, "I never thought that recently, that child has been inexplicably sleepy, dozing off at home and at school."
At first, the child's parents learned about this from the teacher and only thought that the child was too tired from studying or stayed up too late at night, which made him sleepy during the day.
After observing for a while, I found that the child was sleepy not only during the day but also at night. In a 24-hour day, the child needs to sleep at least 16 hours, and even then, he is still sleep-deprived.
The two adults then realized something was wrong and quickly took the child to the hospital to see a doctor.
The test results were all normal, but how can the adults be at ease with such a sleepy child?
Especially when the child sleeps more and more, the child's spirits seem to drop, and the person in question looks much more haggard.
The two adults were extremely anxious and took the child to several more hospitals, but the conclusion was always the same: apart from some anemia, there was nothing wrong.
The key question is, why is my child so sleepy and tired every day?
With nowhere else to turn, the two adults turned to praying to gods and Buddhas, but to little avail.
"Has anyone else been consulted before this?"
"Yes, we consulted several masters, but they either said there was no problem, or they were just faking it and having no effect at all."
Li Qinyan went home a couple of days ago and heard her mother mention this matter. The first person she thought of was Ye Wanxi.
She wasn't sure if Ye Wanxi was really as miraculous as outsiders said, but Ye Wanxi's reminder during the script selection process had indeed brought about a dramatic change in her acting career.
That's why she had the nerve to ask Ye Wanxi for this.
"Where is the address? I'll go there tomorrow afternoon."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's agreement, Li Qinyan breathed a sigh of relief and was also a little excited: "I happen to have no schedule tomorrow afternoon, I'll come pick you up."
"That works too. I'm in the xx street area of the film and television city."
"I'll be in that area tomorrow, I'll call you in advance when I get there."
"Can."
The two briefly discussed their meeting time for the next day and then hung up the phone.
The following afternoon, after having lunch, Ye Wanxi planned to leave the film set to meet Li Qinyan.
Qi Yingxuan saw her walking out with an assistant and immediately became wary: "Where are you going?"
"I'm starting a side business because a friend of mine needed my help."
"A side job?" Qi Yingxuan then remembered that his junior sister was now a well-known metaphysical genius in the circle, and there were always some strange people asking her for help.
"Did you and the fourth brother handle the matters related to the eldest brother's film crew?"
It was in the same film studio, though they were quite far apart. The commotion there reached them in less than a day and spawned countless versions, far more sensational and dramatic than the baseless speculations online.
However, compared to those wild guesses, Qi Yingxuan naturally trusted his own eyes and intuition more.
The two had just left when the film crew ran into trouble. They said it had nothing to do with them. Nobody would believe that!
There was no point in hiding this from her senior brothers, so Ye Wanxi nodded quite readily.
Qi Yingxuan immediately felt resentful. His junior sister was developing her side business and only took the fourth brother along but not him. How come he was not as rich as the fourth brother, not as handsome as the fourth brother with his icy face, and not even as strong as him?
He immediately replied, "I'll go too."
Ye Wanxi stared at him in surprise, as if to say: Are you sure you're not joking?
Qi Yingxuan felt slighted and his face darkened. Just as he was about to defend himself, he was tapped on the back of the head.
"Go where you want? You're not allowed to go!"
Qi Yingxuan was injured on the spot, clutching his head and jumping up and down: "Chen Debang, are you out of your mind! Why did you hit me on the head!"
"You're an assistant director, and all you do is run around all day instead of doing your job. What's wrong with me hitting you on the head? Can't I hit you too?"
Ye Wanxi, who also doesn't do any serious work and is always running around outside: "..." She felt subtly insulted.
"Damn it, isn't it enough that the crew already has you as the director? Why do I have to cause trouble?" Besides, he initially chose to invest in this movie and became the assistant director for his junior sister.
As it turns out, the junior sister's actual screen time was so little. She was just a figurehead, working only sporadically. Recently, she's been going out every day. What's wrong with him following her?
Chen Debang didn't care about any of that. He grabbed Qi Yingxuan's neck and dragged him backward.
"So you knew you were always causing trouble for me. You're supposed to be a well-known up-and-coming director, yet you don't do your job properly on set and try to slack off. I don't care, now that you're the assistant director, you need to get moving and stop thinking about flying off all the time."
He's so busy he barely has time to breathe, there's no way he'd go out and play!
As Chen Debang pulled Qi Yingxuan inside, he winked at Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief knowingly and quickly took the opportunity to slip away.
When she came out, Li Qinyan was already waiting outside.
Before getting into the car, Ye Wanxi double-checked with her assistant: "Are you brave? Are you sure you want to come? Actually, it's okay if you don't come. Some scary and unexpected things might happen where we're going this time. If you're not sure, you can still change your mind now. This isn't part of your daily work, so not coming won't be considered a dereliction of duty."
Qiu Yuerong hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, I want to go. Don't worry, Sister Ye, I'm super brave!"
Ye Wanxi glanced at the little girl in front of her who wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she was excited and eager to try. She then fell silent.
Li Qinyan's home is in a slightly old neighborhood, and Aunt Fang, whom she mentioned, lives right across the street.
The two families have been neighbors for over ten years and have always had a good relationship.
Because Li Qinyan had mentioned beforehand that Ye Wanxi was coming today, both adults took the day off and stayed home.
When Li Qinyan arrived with Ye Wanxi, it was Mr. Zhao, Aunt Fang's husband, who opened the door for them.
Mr. Zhao is a photographer, in his early forties, with a refined and gentle demeanor, and seems very approachable.
"Xiao Qin is here. This must be Miss Ye. Please come in."
Hearing the noise, Aunt Fang came out from inside and smiled slightly, "You're here! Come in, come in! We were just talking about when you were coming, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Please have a seat, I'll peel some fruit for you."
Li Qinyan quickly stopped her: "No need to trouble Auntie, where's Zhao Zhao? Is she home today?"
