Chapter 15 Chapter 15 I’m afraid of scandals, but not you
Shen Muyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was shocked. How did Lu Huainan know that he was pretending? No, how could he be exposed? Since he was pretending, he would have to pretend to the end. He couldn't fall asleep and be pulled out abruptly. Shen Muyun calmed down, lying motionless on the bed without blushing or being confused.
Lu Huainan put the apple aside and observed Shen Muyun's small movements. Her eyelashes were moving and her breathing was not as steady as before. He pursed his lips, sat on a chair beside him, cut the peeled apple into small pieces and put them in a bowl, then began to peel the orange.
A voice appeared in Shen Muyun's mind, "Master Host, I have to say, your acting skills are really first-rate. How come you didn't win the Oscar for Best Actor? With your acting skills, you should enter the film and television industry and make a fortune."
Shen Muyun frowned, but quickly returned to normal. No, he was pretending and couldn't let others see the flaws. He even ignored the system.
The system felt that it was boring and did not continue.
After a while, Shen Muyun heard that the sounds around him seemed to have quieted down. Was there no one around? He also didn't hear the sound of Lu Huainan leaving the house. He squinted his eyes and opened them a little, trying to see clearly where Lu Huainan was and his movements.
As luck would have it, I heard a noisy voice at the door, "Mr. Lu, what's the situation here? Is Mr. Shen awake?"
It was Qi Beichen's voice. Didn't he say that I should have a good rest? It had only been a short time, but he couldn't wait to come and check on the ward.
Lu Huainan stood up, walked to the door, looked back at Shen Muyun on the bed, and gestured to Qi Beichen, "Shh."
The two left the ward together and talked at the door.
"How is he?"
"It's not that he hasn't woken up yet, but he looks like this. Doctor Qi, I didn't expect to see you here. You're always in the lab or the emergency room."
Qi Beichen shrugged helplessly, "It was Shen Liuyun who ordered it. He said there was a horse race here and asked me to come here as the track doctor. I happened to be on vacation, so I came to check it out. Who knew something like this would happen? My students in the lab can't even rest and were forced to work here as laborers."
Lu Huainan breathed a sigh of relief. "He didn't fall off his horse. He might have just been frightened. Is it possible that he's pretending to be unconscious now?"
Qi Beichen was stunned. "Huh? How could he be faking it? From a medical point of view, even if he didn't fall off a horse, he could still fall into a coma after experiencing extreme joy or sorrow or something exciting. However, during the examination just now, there were no internal injuries. You, on the other hand, are overthinking it."
Lu Huainan glanced into the ward through the small window on the door and said, "Well, I think I'm overthinking it."
Shen Muyun heard it clearly. He turned over, facing the door with his back, and opened his eyes. "System, are you going to keep pretending? Lu Huainan has already discovered it. If you keep lying like this, I'll be the one who'll be embarrassed."
The system flashed and appeared in front of him. "Host, you could have woken up just now. I didn't expect you to be so immersed in the role. Lu Huainan is a meticulous person. Even if he doesn't say it, he actually sees everything you do. Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance. Lu Huainan is far more complicated than you think."
Shen Muyun took a breath of cold air. This meant that Lu Huainan had probably seen through all his tricks a long time ago. No wonder he asked such a strange question just now. He didn't plan to pretend anymore. He stretched his arms and legs, got up from the bed and walked to the door.
Listening to the two people's conversation, he opened the door a crack, turned his head and smiled, "Huainan, Doctor Qi, why are you talking at the door? Why don't you come in?"
Lu Huainan frowned slightly when he heard Shen Muyun's voice. His hands reacted faster than his brain and he supported him directly. He then said, "Why did you get out of bed right after waking up? Your brother asked me to keep a good eye on you. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it. Um, do you feel dizzy or any pain in your body? What if you don't pay attention and fall again?"
“Ahem…”
Qi Beichen on the side couldn't stand watching these two people anymore and coughed softly. Could it be that he had to become a part of their play?
Chen Muyun looked at Qi Beichen awkwardly and immediately broke free from Lu Huainan's support. "Well, Doctor Qi, I'm fine. Thanks to your examination just now, I feel refreshed now. There's nothing serious. Maybe I slept a lot and made up for the fatigue from not sleeping this morning. Maybe I'm just too tired."
Qi Beichen gestured for Shen Muyun to lie down well, and after another round of examination, he confirmed that Shen Muyun was really fine, and then he felt relieved, "It seems that there is indeed no problem. If there is anything, you can find me, Mr. Lu. You have my phone number, you can contact me at any time."
Qi Beichen fled from the ward directly. He felt that something was wrong with these two people. He decided to run quickly to avoid being shown off in public. No, these two people had just known each other for a short time. He didn't have so much free time to think about their affairs. It was best to run away.
Lu Huainan forked a piece of cut apple and handed it to Shen Muyun. Shen Muyun knew what was going on and took it directly.
"Well, Huainan, today's events are all thanks to you. But aren't we a little too close? It would be bad if rumors started to spread."
Lu Huainan pulled a chair and sat directly beside the bed. "I was a little anxious today. There were so many people on the sidelines, and none of them cared about anything. After all, you are Liuyun's younger brother, and I can't bear to see anything happen to you. I didn't think too much about it."
Shen Muyun nodded, looking at Lu Huainan's appearance, feeling a little confused, but that strange feeling was finally dispelled.
"As for public opinion, don't worry, I've already sent someone to deal with it. This game was very exciting. I didn't expect you to be able to ride a horse."
Shen Muyun smiled. Of course not. In his previous life, he had won awards, but later he was busy with experiments and gradually lost all his hobbies. Now it’s good. It seems that he has obtained the easy title of a rich and noble young man and can do whatever he likes.
"I learned it when I was a kid, but I haven't practiced it much since I fell off my horse. Thinking that my opponent is Zhou Shiqing, my desire to win has been aroused, so... Oh, how is Himi? I have to go check on him. Is he seriously injured?"
Lu Huainan didn't expect that Shen Muyun was so compassionate. He was the one who stabbed the horse with the knife and injured it. A group of people in the audience were shouting that he was a lunatic, but he didn't care at all.
"I just came over from that side. Don't worry, the wound isn't fatal, and there aren't many blood vessels. The veterinarians were surprised you were able to avoid it so accurately. I think you'll be back to full strength in a month or two. But the pony holds a grudge, so you might have to give it some gifts before it forgives you."
Shen Muyun nodded. It was unintentional, but now he felt guilty. "That's good."
"Does this count as me owing you another favor?"
Lu Huainan was about to say something, "Ding ding."
His cell phone vibrated, he glanced at Shen Muyun apologetically, gestured for the phone, and walked straight out of the ward.
Chen Muyun looked at the medical record on the bedside, which suggested hospitalization for one to two days of observation. He didn't want to stay in this kind of place for even a moment, so he left as soon as possible. The lingering smell of disinfectant eroded him all the time.
"System, come out, is there any way to be discharged immediately?"
"Host, to be honest, you're lucky to be safe this time. At that time, I felt that I might really have to choose a new host. After all, people must abide by the law of conservation of luck. In your previous life, you were a big loser. In this life, your luck is bound to be overflowing. You will definitely complete the mission beyond the target, and you may even be able to get a new life."
"Please stop blowing my own trumpet, System. Have my current actions affected the main plot of the book? Or have my favorability ratings fluctuated drastically?"
The system began to flicker and calculate the relevant values. After a long while, it responded.
"Based on the current progress, this match has caused numerical fluctuations, affecting the main storyline to a certain extent. How should I put it? It's even a correction to a certain extent. Previous hosts have also tried to open this kind of hidden dungeon, but, uh, they didn't succeed. The main storyline continued to progress tepidly. Host, you must have some self-confidence. This is your own life. How you want to live it is your freedom. The meaning of my existence is simply to enable you to have more fun."
Before Shen Muyun could answer, Lu Huainan pushed open the door, hurried in, and looked at him apologetically, "Brother Yun, there's something wrong with the land in the north of the city. I have to go over and take a look. This side..."
Shen Muyun smiled and said, "I'm fine, go ahead and do your work."
Lu Huainan felt a little awkward. Shen Muyun's personality was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It seemed that he had to observe for a while.
"Brother Yun, even though you're not injured, you still need to rest well."
Shen Muyun nodded, leaned obediently on the pillow, and watched Lu Huainan leave the ward. Only then did his heart settle down and he continued to talk to the system.
"System, so what you're saying is that there's actually no fixed answer to everything here?"
Shen Muyun took a bite of the apple, and the sweet juice instantly rushed into his throat.
"Well, Master Host, this is just a book with an unfinished ending. It originally had no ending, so anything is possible. You have the initiative, as long as it is within the critical value."
Shen Muyun caught a key piece of information, "System, what is the critical value?"
The system flew around Shen Muyun and stopped in mid-air. "Didn't you know on your first day here that you only have three years to live? Everything is based on this premise. Then, try to extend your lifespan as much as possible so that the rest of the game can continue. As for the critical value, the system doesn't have a precise definition, but it simply reminds you to know when to stop."
Chen Muyun was speechless. This system was a master at playing dumb, answering questions irrelevantly. "You haven't answered anything at all. System, oh system, how come you don't know anything? I'm tired now and want to rest for a while. You, please leave."
