After a day and a night of emergency treatment, during which Xiang Zhiyi received three critical condition notices, she was finally out of danger and transferred to a regular ward.
In the hospital ward, Xiang Zhiyi regained consciousness for the first time.
Above her were snow-white walls. She murmured, "What's wrong with me?"
Li Jianshan held her hand and comforted her with concern, "It's alright now."
In her daze, the terrifying memory came flooding back, and fear welled up in her eyes: "Snake, there's a snake!"
Ever since Xiang Zhiyi was chased by a snake on a variety show, she has been terrified of ropes for ten years. Even after someone took care of it, she still felt fear.
She struggled to get up, wrapped her arms around Li Jianshan, and was about to say something when she saw a dark blue-black mark on the back of her right hand.
That bluish-black tinge resembled charcoal that had been dried out.
It exuded an ominous aura.
Terrified cries echoed through the ward once again.
She couldn't bear to see her hands like this, so she quickly buried them under the covers so Li Jianshan wouldn't see them.
Li Jianshan was heartbroken: "Zhiyi, don't be like this, I won't mind."
Xiang Zhiyi gave him the order to leave: "Go away, I don't want to see you right now." As she said this, she subtly winked at her agent, Chen Ru.
Chen Ru stepped forward and advised, "Young Master Li, you should go back first and let Zhiyi have some peace and quiet."
Li Jianshan understood the girl's thoughts. Who could accept that her hand had suddenly become like this? He said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll come see you again tomorrow. Please don't do anything rash."
After Li Jianshan left, Xiang Zhiyi's expression turned cold: "I want to see Master Zhang."
Chen Ru looked troubled: "I already tried to contact him, but he's currently in seclusion and won't see anyone."
After learning about the situation, Chen Ru immediately guessed that since the snake wasn't biting anyone but was only targeting Xiang Zhiyi, it must be because the old Taoist priest hadn't dealt with it properly.
We agreed to eliminate them completely, but now I've been bitten for no reason and have such an ugly wound.
The doctors all said they had never heard of such a thing and had not yet found a solution.
Xiang Zhiyi closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "This matter must be kept secret, and we must also get rid of the public opinion."
She's been in the entertainment industry for several years now, and she knows the rules like the back of her hand.
She was bitten for no reason, which will surely lead to a lot of speculation. Considering her past behavior on variety shows, people might say that she was immoral and that this was revenge.
Jiang Si was a ready-made target.
Just then, an intense itch came from the wound.
She tried to resist, but couldn't help herself. Just as she was about to scratch, Chen Ru stopped her hand. "The doctor said you can't scratch. This area is very sensitive right now. Scratching could hurt you."
Chen Ru was being conservative; a scratch would cause far more than just bleeding—it would tear off the skin and flesh.
The back of the hand is already thin; if you grab it, the bone might even be exposed.
It must be said that Xiang Zhiyi was very determined. She endured it all, gritting her teeth and saying, "Jiang Si, I will make you pay the price!"
Jiang Si really did nothing this time; she is truly innocent.
Xiang Zhiyi's illness has been trending on social media.
Most people sympathized with Xiang Zhiyi, while a small number gloated.
Maybe the snake clan just couldn't stand by and watch anymore.
[No way, has anyone forgotten that Xiang Zhiyi stabbed that snake's egg to pieces? This is karma.]
[They say snakes hold grudges, haha, I certainly witnessed it today!]
But the style gradually went astray.
[No, none of us here have ever eaten snake meat or stolen bird eggs. Does that mean if we get pecked to death by a bird one day, it's the bird's way of getting its revenge?]
If eating snake meat or bird eggs is considered a just punishment for death, then feel free to speak up, and don't complain if anything happens later.
As we all know, the golden python is not a native snake. Why would it appear here? Think about it.
This statement is actually a fallacy of equivocation, but because so many people say it, it gives people the illusion that, oh, that's how it is.
[Here's some gossip, but I can't guarantee it's true. Rumor has it that Jiang Si is vying for the Best Actor award for the lead actress in that big-budget film.]
[Pfft, she's the female lead? You must be kidding me, with acting skills that are among the worst in the Chinese entertainment industry?]
[Hey, don't say it's impossible. Capital has been feeding people garbage for a long time. You've all seen Jiang Si's abilities. Maybe she's just helped some big shot out of trouble?]
[To put it all together, could the person who posted this be suggesting that Jiang Si deliberately orchestrated this to prevent Xiang Zhiyi from faking her role and thus smoothly take over?]
The person who posted the melon replied with a cryptic smiling emoji.
The argument is harsh: if Jiang Si doesn't get the role, it's because her acting is terrible; if she does get the role, it's because she's using her connections to blackmail capital.
Jiang Si is trending on social media again for being criticized.
After returning in the same car as the movie star, Han Yunluo got her own phone and was angrily watching the drama unfold.
Jiang Si originally thought that Han Yunluo was a ghost who could float and teleport.
She comes up here to have a three-life romance with the movie star, and once that's over, she should go back to the underworld to continue her cultivation or reincarnation. In any case, she doesn't need to spend thousands of dollars to buy a cell phone.
But perhaps it was fate that brought them together, as they chatted happily in the car.
Especially upon discovering that they both possessed profound knowledge of Buddhism, she felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner. Looking at the way Guan Qingchen looked at Han Yunluo, Jiang Si could probably tell him, "This person understands me!"
Jiang Si did not participate in the whole process, nor did she want to. There is a difference between Taoism and Buddhism.
The Best Actor asked to add a girl on WeChat for the first time.
Han Yunluo knew about cell phones, but she didn't think she needed one.
So when the movie star brought it up, Han Yunluo and Jiang Si both fell silent, which was unusual for them.
Jiang Si, being a bit more modern, thought, what if Han Yunluo said, "Sorry, I don't have a cell phone"?
