Chapter 169 He Came [VIP]
Chapter Summary: Is the cactus I gave you still alive?
Minmin's scream attracted the attention of the other staff members on set.
The director walked over quickly, looking anxious, and asked what had happened.
Upon learning that Mu Zhi had been bitten by a spider, he immediately asked his assistant to call the on-site doctor.
Looking at the group of small spiders on the ground, Tang Yan frowned: The naughty foreign little girl had disturbed the spider's nest.
For safety reasons, he instructed his staff to remove the spiders from the ground.
"Zhizhi, how does your hand feel?"
Hearing the director's concerned inquiry, Mu Zhi thought that out of the more than 40,000 species of spiders in the world, only a dozen or so are poisonous. She knew that there were poisonous insects in this grassland, and she had previously looked at some pictures of poisonous insects, but none of them matched the little spider that bit her hand.
I thought to myself: It should be non-toxic.
Mu Zhi joked to herself, "Don't worry, Director Tang, my hand is fine. The wound will heal in a little while."
In fact, you can't even find the wound unless you look closely.
But whether it was intentional or not, the bite felt like a fire had been pierced into her face, causing a burning sensation, and it immediately became red and swollen.
Minmin held Muzhi's hand and examined the small wound on the back of her hand. There were only two tiny red dots before, but now the bite site was red and swollen, and small white dots could be seen emerging, with pus.
The accompanying doctor quickly came over with a medical kit and gave Mu Zhi's hand a simple treatment. First, he used tape to remove any spider hairs that might have remained on the back of Mu Zhi's hand, then disinfected the wound, and applied an ointment to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain.
Because the spider was observed but its species was unclear, it was impossible to determine whether it was poisonous or not.
The doctor asked Mu Zhi how her hand felt now.
Mu Zhi lowered her eyes, tugged at the sleeve of her left hand with her uninjured right hand to cover the bitten back of her hand, and shook her head with a smile to indicate that she was fine.
In fact, her hand was not only swollen and painful from the wound, but also a little numb.
It takes two hours to drive to this grassland filming location, and everything is almost ready to be filmed. If she leaves now, the entire crew will have made a wasted trip.
Mu Zhi recalled being bitten by poisonous ants while filming in the woods before. The wound would be painful and would quickly swell up with pus, but the pain would disappear after a few hours and it wouldn't be a problem.
She was bitten by a little spider, so it's pretty much the same thing.
Minmin said worriedly, "Sister Zhizhi, let's go to the hospital to get it checked out. What if it's some kind of poisonous spider? It could be life-threatening..."
Before leaving the country, Ji Binghe told Minmin that if anything happened to Muzhi, even minor matters should be treated as major ones.
Minmin knew that Muzhi prioritized the filming on set and would definitely continue filming regardless of her own health for the sake of the role. She said this not only to persuade Muzhi but also to the director.
Mu Zhi won't listen to them, but on set the director is the most powerful, so she will follow the director's arrangements.
After listening to Minmin's words, Director Tang Yan pondered for a moment. If the spider was not poisonous, then there would be no problem. But if the spider was poisonous and Mu Zhi was not sent to the hospital for treatment in time, and something happened to her, the consequences would not be something he or the entire crew could afford. So he made a decision.
"Zhizhi, you should go to the hospital first. Your safety is the most important thing."
He knew Mu Zhi was worried about the scene: "We'll film Zi Long's fight scene first, and you can come back to the set if you're alright."
The tour guide, Qi, who was with the group, said that the nearest hospital was an hour's drive away.
To avoid worrying everyone, Mu Zhi had no choice but to agree.
Minmin quickly took out her phone to take a picture of the spider on the ground, and then put a spider in a plastic water bottle before pulling Muzhi toward the parking lot.
On the way to the hospital.
Mu Zhi's whole body began to heat up, her injured hand was swollen high, the tissue around the wound was black as if it were necrotic, it was painful and numb, and her whole arm was also twitching slightly.
Minmin was terrified; her eyes turned red.
An hour later, the group arrived at a local hospital.
The procedures for seeking medical treatment at foreign hospitals are complicated, and it took Mu Zhi quite a while before she was finally able to see a doctor and undergo several tests.
The doctor didn't know what kind of spider bit Mu Zhi. He performed a minor operation on Mu Zhi's wound, stitched it up with three stitches, bandaged the wound, prescribed some medicine for Mu Zhi to take, and gave her an IV drip. She would need to stay in the hospital for observation for one day.
Minmin felt a little guilty: "Sister Zhizhi, I'm sorry. It was probably when I was filming the spider with the script that it was attacked and that's why it bit you."
Mu Zhi never expected that she would be bitten by a small spider and end up in the hospital.
I waited for a long time in the hospital lobby before my number was called to see a doctor. I was feeling really uncomfortable at that time.
The wound on her hand has been treated and she's receiving an IV drip. She's recovered and knows she's mostly fine.
To prevent Minmin from blaming herself, Muzhi said to her, "I was already bitten by the spider before you helped me chase it away. Minmin, thank goodness you insisted on taking me to the hospital, otherwise the injury on the back of my hand would have been much worse after filming."
The doctor said we arrived just in time, thank you. I'm really fine now, don't worry.
The doctor wants her to stay in the hospital for a day for observation, but she has already asked the film crew for leave.
It was already noon, and Mu Zhi told Minmin and the others not to stay with her and to go eat.
Minmin said she wasn't hungry yet and told the others to go eat first, and to just pack some for herself.
"Sister Zhizhi, the doctor said that taking the medicine will make you sleepy, so you should lie down and rest more."
Perhaps the medication was working, Mu Zhi felt her head was a little dizzy and her eyelids were a little heavy, so she slowly closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Minmin sighed softly after watching Muzhi fall asleep.
Netizens say Mu Zhi is lucky; every drama she stars in becomes a hit.
However, he suffered a lot during each filming process. While filming "Countdown" in Tibet, he experienced altitude sickness multiple times and was hospitalized with pulmonary edema; while filming "Role Model of the Times," he went into the water in the dead of winter and had a fever for several days after filming wrapped; during the filming of "Claws and Teeth," his body was constantly covered in bruises...
I was bitten by a poisonous spider while filming in country N and am now receiving intravenous fluids in a foreign hospital.
I've had a bit of bad luck on me.
When Minmin was handling the hospital admission procedures and paying the fees for Muzhi, she had already reported Muzhi's situation to the brokerage director, and now she sent another message to him.
After sending the message, I noticed that I had received a message from Luke 10 minutes earlier.
When Minmin opened the chat window, she saw that Luke had also learned about Sister Zhizhi being bitten by a spider and coming to the hospital. He asked which hospital it was and asked for the address.
Minmin found it strange. Luke was in China, so why was he asking her for the hospital's address? She immediately thought of her boss.
But the boss is in China.
There is a 6-hour time difference between country N and China. It is noon here now, which is 6 a.m. in China.
Assistant Lu woke up really early!
Although she didn't know what Luke wanted the hospital address for, Minmin thought about it and sent it over anyway.
I heard that the company is going to be managed by a professional manager, but the person hasn't started yet. Right now, the company is being overseen by Luke and General Manager Ji. Assistant Luke is just a work machine number 2, so he can't possibly have any bad intentions, and his influence won't extend overseas.
If the address was requested at the boss's request, Minmin was curious to see what the boss would do.
In the afternoon, Mu Zhi woke up once.
She had a low-grade fever, her wound was a little swollen and painful, and her injured hand, wrapped in gauze, felt swollen. She also had little appetite, ate a small bowl of white porridge, and replied to the director's message that she was fine and could be discharged from the hospital the next morning, telling them not to come and see her.
Mu Zhi then fell asleep again.
While Mu Zhi was asleep, the crew of "All Personnel Evacuated Safely" wrapped up work early today, and director Tang Yan came to the hospital with his assistant.
Tang Yan saw that Mu Zhi was asleep and did not disturb her. After listening to Minmin's account of Mu Zhi's condition and learning that she was alright, he put down the fruit and left with peace of mind.
In the evening, after having dinner, Minmin hesitated whether to wake Muzhi up for dinner.
Considering that Mu Zhi had just eaten in the afternoon, it was best to let her continue sleeping.
I glanced at the sky outside; it was almost dark.
Minmin thought that she could take care of Muzhi at the hospital, but since they were abroad, she was worried that she, as a woman, would not be able to handle anything if something happened. So she left one of the two bodyguards, Ah Hu, who had been with Muzhi the longest.
Mu Zhi was staying in a single hospital room. In addition to a hospital bed, there was a sofa at the foot of the bed. Minmin planned to let A Hu sleep on the sofa, while she would stay by the bedside and keep watch.
Minmin stood up, intending to go out and discuss it with Ah Hu, but when she opened the door and saw the tall man standing outside, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Mu Zhi felt like she had slept for a very long time.
I was so tired from sleeping that I groggily woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, a familiar face appeared before her.
She subconsciously thought she was dreaming, but the next second the handsome face kept getting bigger and bigger, and a pair of large hands touched her forehead, stayed for 2 seconds and then withdrew.
"Congratulations, Teacher Mu, your fever has subsided."
The touch on her forehead was real, and Mu Zhi snapped out of her dazed state after waking up.
It really is He Zhiyue.
"It's 8 PM in Country N."
"Teacher Mu, is anything bothering you? Does your wound hurt? I'll call the doctor over."
"Are you hungry? I ordered you some porridge, it's keeping warm."
Mu Zhi looked at He Zhiyue and listened to his concerned inquiries.
The first thought that popped into her head was: He's lost weight.
Mu Zhi said, "I'm fine," and tried to sit up, but as she moved, she realized that her hand was in He Zhiyue's hand.
In her half-awake state, she felt that she was sweating a lot. Someone gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. The hand receiving the IV drip was a little cold, but her hand fell into a pair of warm palms.
Mu Zhi thought it was Minmin taking care of her, but it turned out to be He Zhiyue?
He Zhiyue didn't let go of her hand, and told Mu Zhi not to move, "Your hand is on an IV drip, it'll be finished soon, I'll call the nurse over."
He pressed a button on the bedside table as he spoke.
Soon, the nurse came in, checked the IV drip and saw that it was almost finished, so she removed the needle from Mu Zhi's hand.
He Zhiyue carefully massaged Mu Zhi's hand, which was receiving an IV drip, and gently placed it under the blanket before letting go.
The nurse asked Mu Zhi if she felt unwell after waking up.
Mu Zhi replied to her in English that she was much better.
"If you're hungry, you'd better eat something." After saying that, the nurse smiled at Mu Zhi and He Zhiyue and left.
Only Mu Zhi and He Zhiyue remained in the ward, and it fell silent again.
After the IV drip was finished, Mu Zhi's uninjured hand was "freed." Her injured hand no longer felt any pain and the swelling had gone down, but it was still a bit stuffy and stiff from being tightly bandaged.
But it no longer prevented her from exerting herself, and she had been lying down for a day.
Mu Zhi sat up, and He Zhiyue didn't stop her. He just leaned over and put a pillow behind her before sitting back down on the chair by the bed.
Seeing Mu Zhi looking around the room with a puzzled expression, he explained, "I had someone send Xu Min back to the hotel and told her to come over tomorrow morning."
I guessed you'd most likely be back to filming tomorrow. If she stayed here all night, she wouldn't have the energy to accompany you to the set during the day, which is why she left. There's also a bodyguard in the hallway outside.
Before Mu Zhi could ask any questions, He Zhiyue explained why she was there.
“I was in a neighboring country of N country to discuss a business deal when I heard that you were injured and hospitalized, so I took a flight that lasted several hours to come here.”
After He Zhiyue finished speaking, he saw that Mu Zhi remained silent and he couldn't figure out what she was thinking. His heart was pounding with anxiety.
He had taken a flight that lasted several hours, rushing from the airport to the hospital. When he opened the door to the ward, he saw Mu Zhi lying on the bed, her face serene with her eyes closed, showing a rare, well-behaved expression.
But he also missed her, who never showed her emotions in public and was aloof, and wanted to see her healthy and well.
He Zhiyue hadn't seen Mu Zhi for almost half a year. Sitting by her bedside, holding her hand, he had a selfish thought: he wished time could stop so he could stay by her side forever.
At this moment, his heart felt as if snow and a cool breeze were blowing in as Mu Zhi remained silent, and it grew colder and colder.
He Zhiyue's lips curled into a bitter smile. He thought that his sudden appearance was not what she wanted, but rather an unnecessary disturbance. He had already seen the most important person on this trip, and she was safe and sound. So, he... went outside to the corridor to keep watch, and would leave when it was light.
Before he could get up, Mu Zhi spoke.
Is the cactus I gave you still alive?
[Author's Note]
Damn it, I can't finish writing here, so I'll just end this chapter here. The next chapter is about finishing filming and going back to China!
