Du Yuanzhe was wearing casual clothes, standing in the forest. As Xu Cheng gave the order to start filming, he fixed his eyes, saw a figure flash by, and immediately chased after it. His men behind him hurriedly followed, but unfortunately the terrain of the forest was too complicated and the figure disappeared after a while.

Du Yuanzhe continued to run forward, and according to the plot, he would slip and roll down the hillside in the process of chasing someone.

"Card!"

After Du Yuanzhe ran to the designated location, Xu Cheng called a stop and asked someone to put safety gear on Du Yuanzhe, as he would later act out the scene of rolling down the hillside.

Xu Cheng shouted with a loud speaker: "Yuanzhe, you need to identify the direction carefully, so as not to get the wrong direction when you roll down later."

People cannot control the direction when they roll down the hill accidentally, but Du Yuanzhe was just acting. He could control the direction of his rolling if he was prepared, and he had to control it. If he didn't find the right direction, he would have to shoot this scene again.

Xu Cheng made it clear that this scene had to be shot completely realistically. He couldn't just shoot a shot of the person rolling down and lying down the hillside, and then use a dummy to complete the rolling scene.

He would not fool the audience like this!

Therefore, Du Yuanzhe had to do it as much as possible in one go. The safety measures only ensured his safety, but they could not help him save energy. This kind of scene was very energy-consuming.

Du Yuanzhe stood on the hillside and nodded to Xu Cheng to indicate that he was ready.

Xu Cheng immediately gave the order to start filming, and all the lighting technicians and other staff were in place.

Du Yuanzhe repeated his previous action of chasing people. He reached the designated location after just a few steps. His eyes were still focused on the front. He deliberately stepped on empty air and was tripped by a stone on the ground. He rolled down the hillside uncontrollably.

Snap——

Du Yuanzhe's heart sank. He still didn't control his strength and fell with too much force. His left arm might have been dislocated. But he remembered that he was still filming, so he endured the pain and rolled in the designated direction, finally lying down at the foot of the hillside.

"Card!"

Xu Cheng stared at the viewfinder, carefully watched the entire process, and said, "This one passed."

Du Yuanzhe relaxed his tense nerves, and a painful expression instantly appeared on his face. He wanted to sit up, but found it a bit difficult. His left arm was so painful that he couldn't exert any strength.

The staff member who was about to remove his seat belt noticed that something was wrong with him and asked anxiously, "Teacher Du, what's wrong with you?"

Du Yuanzhe's forehead was sweating, and he said, "My arm may be dislocated."

The staff immediately shouted: "Teacher Du's arm is dislocated, please get a doctor over."

Although Xu Cheng was very frugal with food and lodging, he attached great importance to safety issues and specially hired a doctor to be stationed on the crew.

The people above were shocked when they heard this and hurried to call a doctor.

Liu Xu and Xiaopang were waiting on the hillside. When they heard the news that Du Yuanzhe was in trouble, their faces changed drastically. They immediately ran down the hillside and saw Du Yuanzhe still lying on the ground. The staff next to him were at a loss and did not dare to touch him at all.

Liu Xu asked in a deep voice: "Is it serious?"

Du Yuanzhe gritted his teeth to endure the pain, shook his head at him and said nothing.

After a while, Xu Cheng and the doctor came to Du Yuanzhe.

The doctor lifted Du Yuanzhe's left arm, touched it with his hand, and then applied a little force.

Snap——

Du Yuanzhe instantly felt the pain relieved a lot and exhaled, "Thank you, doctor."

The doctor said, "Teacher Du's condition is not serious, but for safety reasons, I suggest you go to the hospital for an X-ray and have a plaster cast put on for a while."

Du Yuanzhe was helped to stand up by Xiaopang: "I'll listen to the doctor."

Xu Cheng said: "We were not well prepared today and you got hurt."

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "It's mainly because I didn't control myself well, it has nothing to do with the crew."

Liu Xu reminded: "Let's talk tomorrow. Let's go to the hospital first."

Xu Cheng wanted to go with them, but Du Yuanzhe said that it was not necessary as he had someone to take care of him, so he let Xu Cheng continue filming the next scene.

After getting in the car, Xiao Pang couldn't help but complain: "It's all Director Xu's fault for being too strict. If he hadn't said that we had to show our faces, this scene could have been done by a stand-in."

Du Yuanzhe touched his forehead with his hand and grimaced in pain. His forehead was scratched in the process of rolling down, leaving several small cuts.

"It's inevitable to get injured while filming this kind of scene, but I'm doing fine now."

The hillside had been cleaned by staff to ensure that Du Yuanzhe would not be hurt by small stones or anything like that. If he had not dislocated his arm due to excessive force, he would have only had a scratch on his forehead today.

My arm doesn’t hurt as much after the doctor repositioned it, but I don’t know how long it will take to recover and whether it will affect the subsequent filming.

On the way to Lincheng Hospital, Du Yuanzhe called Xia Ningmao. Not wanting to make her worry, he lied: "Director Xu wants to shoot several night scenes tonight, so he might have to stay up all night. I can't play games with you."

Xia Ningmi didn't doubt it and just told him to be careful before hanging up the phone.

Xiao Pang was surprised and asked, "Mr. Xia knows how to play games?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "She only knows two games."

After all this time, Xia Ningmi still only knows how to play two games: PUBG and King of Fighters. Without Du Yuanzhe to accompany her, she wouldn't even open the door of the home theater, let alone play games.

Xiao Pang said, "That's amazing too. I thought that in President Xia's eyes, playing games was a waste of time and he would criticize it whenever he saw it."

Du Yuanzhe laughed: "It's not that serious. She rarely criticizes any behavior."

Xia Ningmi rarely wastes energy on things she doesn't care about.

Of course, Du Yuanzhe was honored to be criticized by her before, especially when he was forced to drink by the "Secret Voice" crew. Xia Ningmi directly said that he was stupid and did not know how to use his advantages at all.

Xiao Pang asked: "What game are Brother Zhe and President Xia playing?"

"Eat chicken!"

Xiao Pang suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember that Brother Zhe wanted to play this game with me before, but unfortunately I don't know how to play it."

Liu Xu laughed: "I have played this game before, but you don't know how to play it?"

Xiao Pang said embarrassedly: "I am slow to react. It is easy to cheat people when playing games. After a while, I stopped playing."

Du Yuanzhe felt lucky when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't want to take Xiaopang, a newcomer, with him.

......

After arriving at Lincheng Hospital, Du Yuanzhe first took an X-ray. The doctor told him that his bones were fine and he just needed to put his arm in a cast.

His case is the mildest and he will recover in a few days.

Du Yuanzhe breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing bad happened.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when they left the hospital after the plaster was applied. They had to go back to their residence. When they returned to the town at 11 o'clock, the lights in many houses had been turned off, and only the street lights were still on.

Aunt Wu saw Du Yuanzhe's arm in plaster and her face changed. She asked quickly, "Second Master, what happened to you?"

Du Yuanzhe smiled lightly and said, "It's just a slight dislocation. The doctor said it will be fine in a few days. Please don't tell my mother, so as not to worry her."

Aunt Wu was a little unconvinced: "If it's really alright, why put it in a cast?"

In her opinion, plaster casts are only used in very serious cases.

Du Yuanzhe said: "We are worried that the arm will be dislocated again, so we fixed it. The doctor said that my physical condition is very good and the plaster can be removed in a few days."

Aunt Wu glanced at Liu Xu and Xiaopang standing beside her.

Both of them said they were fine, and Aunt Wu believed them for the time being.

"You guys were filming too dangerously. The second young master even got injured on his forehead."

In order to prevent Aunt Wu from telling Chen Rongsan, Du Yuanzhe repeatedly promised that such a thing would never happen again. After comforting Aunt Wu, he went upstairs to his room.

Aunt Wu watched him disappear on the second floor and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to tell the Second Young Master that someone was waiting for him."

Second Floor

Du Yuanzhe was stunned when he saw Xia Ningmi sitting in the living room. Why was she here?

Xia Ningmi saw his arm fixed with plaster, and her eyes suddenly changed: "Is this why you didn't video chat with me tonight?"

Du Yuanzhe felt bitter. He was caught red-handed just a few hours after he started lying. What should he do?

Xia Ning looked at him quietly: "How do you want to deceive me now?"

Du Yuanzhe knew it was useless to try to argue when he heard this, so he honestly explained what happened and did not forget to speak up for himself, saying, "I didn't mean to lie to you. The doctor said it's not a big problem and you'll recover after a few days of treatment. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry."

Xia Ning asked, "Do I look fragile? Can't I even accept the news that you were injured?"

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I just think there's no need for one more person to worry."

Xia Ningmi looked indifferent: "What do you mean by unnecessary? We are boyfriend and girlfriend now, and we will be husband and wife in the future. If anything happens to you, I will be the one to sign for you. Your parents are not as qualified as I am."

Du Yuanzhe's mouth twitched: "That's right, but it sounds weird."

Xia Ningmi continued, "You don't think it's necessary to tell me about this minor injury today. Will you still think it's unnecessary if you get hurt more in the future? Will I only know when your condition becomes so serious that you can't speak and the doctor decides to notify your family?"

Du Yuanzhe hurriedly said, "Qiqi, I know I was wrong. I will definitely not do this again in the future."

[I feel like if I let her continue talking, I'll be dead soon]

Xia Ningmi was still indifferent. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Aunt Wu coming up.

Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment when she saw him looking like he was being scolded, then she said, "Second Young Master, Mr. Xia, do you want to have a midnight snack?"

Du Yuanzhe subconsciously stood up straight, coughed and asked, "Boss Xia, are you having a midnight snack?"

Xia Ning said: "I'm not hungry."

Du Yuanzhe said to Aunt Wu, "We are not hungry. Aunt Wu, go back and have a rest. Don't worry about us."

Aunt Wu nodded and reminded, "Boss Xia's room is next to the Second Young Master's bedroom. I have already packed it up. Boss Xia, please let me know if you have anything to say."

After saying that, she went downstairs and left, thinking that President Xia had a really strong aura, and the Second Young Master didn't even dare to talk back when she scolded him. She shook her head secretly, not knowing what the Second Young Master was thinking. It would be so nice to go to work in his own company, instead of working for others and having to look at their faces.

Du Yuanzhe suddenly realized that there were other people here, and asked, "Qiqi, what reason did you use to deceive Aunt Wu?"

There must be a reason for Xia Ningmi to appear here.

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "Come to Lincheng for inspection."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Is it that simple?"

"How complicated do you think it would be?"

She didn't need to explain her purpose in detail to anyone; inspection was a good excuse.

Du Yuanzhe asked: "Are you alone?"

"There is also Cheng Yu and two bodyguards."

Du Yuanzhe said: "There are a lot of people here, two bodyguards are still too few."

Xia Ningmi added: "I know the chief of the Public Security Bureau in Lincheng. Before I came here, he gave me the phone number of the chief of the town police station."

She certainly wouldn't put herself in danger.

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Lincheng is so far away from Yancheng, how can you have any connection with it?"

Xia Ning said: "It's a coincidence."

Businessmen are best at making connections, and Xia Ningmi is no exception. She also has her own ways of making connections.

Du Yuanzhe pretended to be proud and said: "With Qiqi here, I don't have to worry about being bullied by the locals. You also know that Xu Cheng was cheated by the hotel owner."

Xia Ning glanced at him: "Don't think that I won't pursue the matter of you lying to me just because you change the subject."

Du Yuanzhe's expression froze.

"Qiqi, since I'm so pitiful, can you please forgive me this time?"

Du Yuanzhe walked over and sat next to her, holding her hand with his intact right hand.

Xia Ningmi snorted coldly, ignored him, and got up to go back to her room.

Du Yuanzhe noticed that she did not lock the door and immediately followed her in.

There were only two people in the room, and the longing for each other after not seeing each other for a month suddenly burst out. Du Yuanzhe lowered his head and kissed her, but was stopped by Xia Ningmi's fingers just as he was about to kiss her.

Xia Ning looked at his arm and asked, "Are you sure you can do it now?"

Du Yuanzhe also looked down and felt uncomfortable.

He is really not in a good condition now. If he injures his arm again, the injury will be aggravated and will seriously affect the subsequent filming.

Xia Ningmi touched the Band-Aid on his forehead with her fingertips and said, "I'm very angry now."

She hated that Du Yuanzhe was hiding things from her, regardless of whether his intentions were good or bad.

Du Yuanzhe knew that he had done something wrong and asked, "How can Qiqi calm down?"

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "I want to kill Xu Cheng."

Xia Ning was reluctant to do anything to Du Yuanzhe, so she could only find the culprit.

Du Yuanzhe hurriedly said: "Not really, not really!"

"Then give him some trouble."

Du Yuanzhe said awkwardly: "This time it actually has little to do with Director Xu. It's just that I have no experience in filming this kind of drama."

Before the filming, the martial arts instructor told him to control the strength when he fell, and it was his lack of experience that caused him to get hurt.

Xia Ningmi stroked his cheek and said, "I don't want to reason."

She was very narrow-minded. Du Yuanzhe was injured. No matter what caused him to be injured, it was definitely related to Xu Cheng.

Du Yuanzhe held her hand and said, "Then don't be too harsh."

I can't save Xu Cheng, I just hope he can get less injured.

Xia Ning said: "I can't control this."

It was not until a few days later that he understood what Xia Ningmi meant.

Now Du Yuanzhe is very confused.

Xia Ning didn't want to help him solve the problem, so she asked, "Do you want me to help you take a bath?"

Du Yuanzhe immediately shook his head: "I can wash it myself."

He couldn't do anything now. If Xia Ningmi provoked him, he would be the one who suffered.

Xia Ningmi stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

Du Yuanzhe hugged Xia Ningmi's waist and subconsciously deepened the kiss.

......

The next day, Xiaopang came to wake Du Yuanzhe up and asked cautiously, "Brother Zhe, can I come in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xia Ningmi walking out from another room.

Xiaopang immediately greeted: "Mr. Xia."

As soon as Xia Ningmi came downstairs, Du Yuanzhe opened the door and said, "You're here just in time. Come and help me change my clothes."

He didn't dare move his left hand and couldn't even change his clothes.

Xiaopang glanced around the room and didn't see anything he shouldn't see. He felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

When the two of them packed up and went downstairs, the others were already sitting at the dining table. The other members of the team were very cautious in front of Xia Ningmi and didn't dare to breathe.

Du Yuanzhe explained: "Mr. Xia is going to conduct an inspection nearby and will stay here for a few days."

Others immediately said, "Welcome, President Xia."

As for what they were investigating, no one dared to ask.
