"Qianqian, it's so late, why did you come over?" Wu Xuan struggled to get out of bed when she saw Mu Qian come in.
"I'm fine, look how well I've recovered."
After saying that, he even tried to spin around in circles.
The pain in her ankle made her lose her balance and almost fall to the ground.
If Mu Qian hadn't been quick-witted and caught Wu Xuan, she wouldn't have been able to do so.
I'm afraid she'll get injured a second time.
"Be careful, your foot injury hasn't fully healed yet."
Mu Qian instructed, "You need to rest."
Wu Xuan lowered her head shyly, "I'm sorry, I was really envious of your performance tonight."
"Hopefully you'll recover quickly and join our team as soon as possible."
"No need to rush."
Mu Qian helped Wu Xuan to the bedside. "Your place will always be reserved for you. We will wait for you to come back."
Wu Xuan smiled.
In the evening, a staff member from the production crew came to visit.
They said they were visiting, but actually they just wanted to inquire about her injury and whether she could continue to participate in the competition.
If she cannot participate, the production team will need to devise a plan and find someone to replace her.
Ning Ning withdrew from the competition, leaving Su Meng as her replacement.
With Wu Xuan injured and unable to participate, many entertainment agencies will naturally want to send their own artists to replace her.
Moreover, it was in the Muqian group, the favorite to win the overall championship.
The production team is very cunning.
Wu Xuan wasn't unable to understand what the staff meant, but she was someone without capital or background.
The final decision-making power is not in her hands at all.
All the anxiety and unease of the evening vanished because of Mu Qian's affirmation.
Regardless of whether they can make it to the final match, Qianqian's unconditional affirmation is enough.
"ah!"
Wu Xuan's sudden scream echoed throughout the ward.
Look around!
Before Wu Xuan could react, Mu Qian grabbed her ankles with both hands and snapped them twice.
The moment of pain is followed by calm.
“My feet…” Wu Xuan murmured to herself.
It was stinging a moment ago, but now it seems... it doesn't hurt anymore?
The doctor said she injured her foot while jumping from the building; it was a scraped and sprained, and she would need several days to recover.
Of course, to avoid further injury, it is best to rest for ten days to two weeks and avoid overly strenuous training.
The show's staff found out about it, so they subtly hinted in various ways that she should withdraw from the competition.
She withdrew from the competition herself; the responsibility lies with her, not the production team.
So, the production team is really cunning.
"Here's some medicine for you. Apply it three times a day, and it won't leave scars."
As if by magic, Mu Qian handed over a small bottle of ointment from her pocket.
Wu Xuan blinked blankly, but her hand obediently reached out. "Qianqian, you... a miracle doctor?"
Without thinking, the words just came out.
Wu Xuan realized that what she had said was inappropriate and wanted to explain, "No, what I meant was..."
"Yes, you're right. They used to call me a miracle doctor."
Mu Qian replied directly, "It's no secret."
Wu Xuan: "..."
Is this a joke, or... is it not a joke?
For a moment, I couldn't tell them apart.
"Alright, it's too late, you should rest."
Mu Qian forcibly pressed Wu Xuan back onto the bed and covered her with the blanket. "I hope you can return to the team on time by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Wu Xuan was somewhat flattered, and smiled, "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission and return to the team on time the day after tomorrow."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Only when Mu Qian was about to leave did Wu Xuan finally speak up, "Qianqian, thank you."
Mu Qian stopped and turned to look at Wu Xuan. "If you really want to thank me, then be yourself and don't let anyone control you anymore."
Wu Xuan was startled, her eyes reddening.
A sour, astringent feeling spread through my nostrils.
"Yes, I will definitely be myself again," Wu Xuan said with a smile.
...
As Mu Qian left the inpatient department, Wu Xuan's radiant smile remained in her mind.
That was a genuine laugh.
Even though this is a created, illusory world, Wu Xuan is also a created, illusory character.
But during the month or so that Mu Qian experienced it, she truly felt it.
The people here have all sorts of emotions; they laugh, they cry, they make a fuss...
Each and every one of them is a vibrant, living person, no different from those in the real world.
Mu Qian poured her heart into this place, and also into the friends around her.
The shift from indifference to caring is like blood no longer being cold; it's like blood becoming warm.
She hopes that the world can continue to be warm, instead of just existing in cold words.

Sunday.
As always, the morning live stream will feature the rules for the 6th performance of "Dream Fly".
Li Cheng instructed his staff to send messages to the team leaders, arranging for a live-streamed meeting at 9:00 AM.
After receiving the information, the team leaders notified their members in various ways.
Before the meeting started, a trending topic suddenly appeared on the hot search list.
#Guess who the new member of Muqian's group will be?#
The moment it appeared on the trending topics list, it quickly climbed into the top three.
The comments section was also quite lively.
Wow, this is probably a sign they want to replace Wu Xuan?
No way? Wu Xuan only injured her foot, she shouldn't be replaced like this, right?
What's going on? First they replaced Ning Ning with Su Meng, and now they want to replace Wu Xuan? This show is so unprofessional!
This is a terrible show. The veteran members fought tooth and nail to get to the finals, while new members just parachuted in and got the best results. What's the point of the competition? Just give the championship to the newcomers.
I agree. What's the point of having a competition if this is the case? If your production team wants to promote someone, just give them the championship directly. Why pretend to be so high and mighty? You're hypocritical.
Ugh, I'm so angry! The production team is terrible. If they replace Wu Xuan, I'm not going to watch it.
Everyone is condemning the production team. If they replace the cast, we'll all refuse to watch. It's disgusting.
The internet is in an uproar over this topic.
Before the broadcast started at 9 o'clock, the assistant director showed Li Cheng the topics that everyone was arguing about online.
"Director Li, is it really okay for us to replace Wu Xuan?"
Looking at the trending topic, Li Cheng cursed, "That damn mouth leaked the news ahead of time."
He mentally cursed everyone he could think of.
The original plan was to force Wu Xuan to withdraw from the competition on her own.
The production team only just announced, with regret, that Wu Xuan had withdrawn from the competition, and had no choice but to find a replacement.
Who knew, the news would leak out.
The announcement now that Wu Xuan will be replaced will definitely have a significant impact on the show's viewership.
Li Cheng is a cunning old fox; he certainly wouldn't do this rashly at this time.
I don't want to be verbally abused by netizens because of this.
"Has Wu Xuan's agent not contacted you?"
"I've contacted them."
The assistant director said, "We've provided the resources and made the promises, but I don't know why there's been no progress."
"Can't you put a little more pressure on me?"
Li Cheng said with dissatisfaction, "Do you know that I'm also under a lot of pressure from above? You have to be understanding of me."
The assistant director was also helpless, "Yes, yes, I'll think of another way."
Li Cheng sighed and cursed, "If I find out who leaked the information, I'll kill him!"
"oh?"
"Or, why don't you come and kill me?"
