Ming Jiayi looked up and gave Xie Leying a cold smile, then replied weakly.
"Yes, Mo Xing is really good to me. After all, she's my assistant. She can't just obey anyone's orders."
Xie Leying smiled appropriately at Ming Jiayi, then replied calmly, "Yes."
Chen Jing left the machine where it was, then quickly ran to the passageway where they had stored their items. He rummaged through his backpack and found a few chocolates before running back to his resting place.
"Ming Jiayi, here, have some, replenish your sugar levels first." Chen Jing put all the chocolates into Ming Jiayi's hand and said enthusiastically.
Ming Jiayi's hand froze in mid-air. She stared at the chocolates and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She was just making an excuse to get Mo Xing to go find somewhere to rest and not stay here being bossed around by Xie Leying; she wasn't actually suffering from low blood sugar...
Xie Leying glanced at the chocolates, a flash of jealousy suddenly appearing in her eyes. She then spoke in her sweet, coquettish voice...
"Jiayi, eat quickly. Don't let Director Chen's kindness go to waste. Look, he ran over to get it and then ran back. He seems very worried about you."
Chen Jing scratched his head sheepishly and replied earnestly, "No, no, Jiayi is filming a variety show with me now. We're colleagues, so I have to take care of her."
"Really? Then Director Chen is being a little biased. I'm practically your colleague too," Xie Leying said in a slightly coquettish tone.
Ming Jiayi unwrapped a chocolate, put it in her mouth, looked at Chen Jing sincerely and said "thank you," then turned her head and stared meaningfully at Xie Leying.
Xie Leying felt a little intimidated by Ming Jiayi's gaze. She subconsciously touched her face and asked,
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong, or is there something on my face?"
Ming Jiayi, determined to keep up the act, answered weakly.
"No, I just wanted to ask you, have you ever tried West Lake Longjing tea? I heard you only recently returned to the country, so you probably haven't had a chance to try it."
Xie Leying bit her lip, her face instantly darkening, looking like she was about to cry again.
Ming Jiayi placed her hand on her forehead very naturally, partially covering her eyes, and ignored Xie Leying's behavior.
"Hey, Yueying, let me get you your shoes. You can sit here." Upon seeing this, Yu Jianyan immediately fled the scene as if she had greased her feet.
Xie Leying is a pretty good person. She's quite normal when she's not, but she cries a lot. He can't stand having to comfort the same girl several times a day.
"Then you two rest here. I'll go see if the expert is available. If he is, we'll start recording ahead of schedule," Chen Jing said directly, and then left immediately.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xie Leying had no choice but to wipe away her tears. Her original goal was to make them feel sorry for her and offer to help her with her shoes. Now that she had achieved her goal, she didn't need to pretend anymore.
"You should be feeling better now, right? They've all left, you don't need to pretend anymore," Xie Leying said calmly in her sweet, delicate voice.
Ming Jiayi smiled coolly, her lips curving upwards.
Xie Leying really has no patience.
They had barely left when this person revealed his true colors.
"What are you pretending for? I don't quite understand what you're saying," Ming Jiayi retorted sarcastically.
"Go ahead and keep pretending if you want."
Xie Leying sat upright, arms crossed, and said confidently,
“This is a hospital, not the Gu family. You’re only staying in the hospital for three days, but I’m going to stay here the whole time.”
So, this is my territory. Don't expect them to favor you like Gu Shaojin did. Big sister, little sister.
Ming Jiayi raised an eyebrow, removed her hand from her forehead, and then spoke calmly.
"What? Is that why you're subtly criticizing me? I don't think Gu Shaojin is biased towards me, nor do I think they would be biased towards me. You don't need to overthink things, do you?"
"I'm not overthinking things, Jiayi. Don't misunderstand me like that... I'm just worried that you might just have low blood sugar. Look, your lips are a little pale. What if it's something else?"
Ming Jiayi turned her head and looked at Xie Leying with a puzzled expression.
That's strange. Didn't you just say so confidently that you didn't need to pretend?
Why are you putting on an act again now?
"Low blood sugar? Ming Jiayi, are you experiencing low blood sugar?" Bi Tingran walked up to Ming Jiayi and asked.
Ming Jiayi found it somewhat amusing; if anyone knew how, it was Xie Leying.
"It's nothing," Ming Jiayi smiled weakly at Bi Tingran and replied, "I'm feeling much better."
Bi Tingran nodded. "Oh, okay. If you're still feeling unwell later, you can come find me."
Ming Jiayi smiled gently again and asked, "Yes, yes. Is there something you need from us?"
Bi Tingran placed a pair of nurse's shoes next to Xie Leying's feet, and said with a somewhat indifferent expression,
"Yu Jianyan said he couldn't find your shoes, so I brought you a pair of my new nurse shoes. See if they fit."
Xie Leying lowered her head and stared silently at the nurse's shoes, reluctant to change them.
"What's wrong?" Bi Tingran asked, puzzled.
Xie Leying pursed her lips and replied eccentrically, "Thank you, but I'm not used to wearing other people's shoes."
"Where did you put your shoes? Yu Jianyan is still in the office. Why don't you call him and ask him to find them for you?" Bi Tingran said, picking up the shoes with some dissatisfaction.
Xie Leying pouted and explained with a wronged expression,
"I'm sorry, Tingran. I didn't mean to ask Jianyan to help me find my shoes. It's just that my feet are really uncomfortable... Jianyan is such a kind person, so he offered to help me. Please don't misunderstand."
Ming Jiayi yawned lazily and looked at Xie Leying as if watching a show.
If she could have her Best Actress award given to someone else, she would have been willing to give it to Xie Leying.
Bi Tingran's face contorted in pain; she twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Hehe, what could I possibly misunderstand? Yu Jianyan and I are completely innocent. You'd better not misunderstand our relationship. I don't want to get scolded by Yu Jianyan later."
"Okay, I'm glad you didn't misunderstand." Xie Leying said sincerely, "Then I'll call Jianyan now and tell him where my shoes are."
Bi Tingran nodded and walked towards the nurses' station on her own, but her steps were unusually slow, and her ears were involuntarily listening to Xie Leying's voice...
"As you can tell, my shoes are in a box in the drawer under my desk..."
"Thank you for your help."
