The moment I hung up the phone,
Chu Wuyang stood still, her fingers slowly sliding down, the phone slightly warm in her palm.
It felt like something had hit her hard in the heart.
The joy and relief of finding it again welled up in my heart, and my nose tingled with emotion.
She even wanted to laugh for a moment—after the fire, she dreamed of the boy who called her "Sister Yangyang" for many nights, waking up with tears soaking her pillow.
But then, a wave of guilt washed over me.
He is alive.
He was right beside her, but she was completely unaware of it. In the past, she even sometimes disliked his chatter and distanced herself from his approach.
"Xing Ci..."
She murmured, her fingertips trembling as she tapped on Jin Xian's number and pressed dial.
One call, two calls, three calls... but no one answered.
She changed her number and sent a message:
Jin Xian, where are you? I have something to tell you.
After waiting for a few minutes, the message remained stuck in the gray "delivered" state, without showing "read" for a long time.
Chu Wuyang sighed softly, put her phone down by her side, and her eyes dimmed.
She tried to calm herself, gently stroking her lower abdomen, thinking: When I get back, I'll contact his agency first and have them pass on a message. After all, she can't just blindly run abroad to look for him right now.
She slowly walked out of the elevator and had just reached the hospital lobby when she heard a commotion.
A group of young girls surrounded the floor-to-ceiling screen in the waiting area, chattering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with anxiety and tears.
"No way... How could Xuanxuan do such a thing?"
"Who would believe that? What do you mean, being sexually harassed by a male investment tycoon?"
"Our Xuanxuan is straight, right? He must have been hooked up with someone!"
"Look, the agency has already issued a statement, directly asking fans to spread clues to find the person..."
"The news says they've been out of contact for 24 hours!"
Chu Wuyang's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked up.
On the screen, entertainment news headlines were scrolling by.
[Shocking! Top idol Jin Xian embroiled in scandal during filming in Thailand – suspected of offending local dignitaries and facing retaliation]
[Breaking News: Jin Xian is being targeted by a male investment tycoon from Thailand, suspected of being coerced into "unspoken rules" and involved in a sex scandal]
[The agency issued an urgent statement: denying any inappropriate behavior by the artist, claiming that Jin Xian was suspected of being framed and has been out of contact for 24 hours.]
[Fans organize self-rescue efforts; company publicly appeals: Please provide any clues to ensure personal safety]
The images flashing rapidly on the screen,
It's a scene of Jin Xian at the airport and film set in Country T, filled with chaos, pushing, and the clamor of the crowd, frozen in time at the end.
It's a photo of him hurriedly getting into the van.
Chu Wuyang felt a tightness in her chest and staggered into the crowd.
They stopped a girl with tears in her eyes.
"Excuse me... are you talking about... Jin Xian?"
Her voice trembled so much it was almost inaudible.
The girl looked up, her voice trembling with tears.
"Yeah, sis, you're a fan of his too?"
"T country really likes Jin Xian the most!"
"They thought it would become an international sensation, but now look what happened, they've run into powerful figures and are being retaliated against. These people really have no shortage of ways to ruin people..."
Another girl next to her also had red eyes.
"All that talk about male investment tycoons and unspoken rules is just sensationalist news. He's the one who got bullied!"
Where is he now?
Chu Wuyang's voice was strained.
"Who knows? We haven't been able to contact them for 24 hours!"
"The company's Weibo account is exploding, and fan groups are organizing private searches."
Chu Wuyang felt a buzzing in his head, and the sounds around him became as blurry as if they were submerged in water.
She tried to reach for her phone, but her fingers were trembling so badly she couldn't lift them.
A feeling of suffocation suddenly surged from my chest, and the light and shadow in front of me instantly distorted into a jumbled mess.
She instinctively covered her lower abdomen with one hand.
My chest felt suffocated, like a burst of hot air, and a ringing sound filled my ears.
My vision gradually blurred.
"Yangyang—!"
Aunt Rong screamed and lunged at him from behind, but she had completely lost her strength.
Her body swayed slightly, swept away by the wind like cotton wool; in her last moments of consciousness...
She heard the girls' panicked screams and the clatter of a phone falling to the ground—
"Ah! Quick, call a doctor!!"
———
In the ward, the curtains were drawn to let in some light, and a faint smell of disinfectant filled the air.
Chu Wuyang's eyelashes trembled, and she vaguely heard a man's deep voice in her ear.
"Doctor, what's wrong with her?"
"It's nothing serious, just a bit of a shock,"
"I fainted due to a sudden emotional shock, low blood sugar, and the fright,"
"Just get some IV fluids and rest for a bit."
Chu Wuyang suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the syringe on the back of her hand and the medicine slowly flowing in.
Her heart tightened, and almost instinctively she reached for the syringe, her voice sharp and panicked.
"I can't take any medication, I'm pregnant!"
"Yangyang!"
Jing Min reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and pulling her tightly into his arms, coaxing her in a low voice.
"Don't move, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chu Wuyang struggled desperately, her eyes reddening and her breathing rapid.
"You have ill intentions...you want to hurt this child, don't you...don't you..."
"Yangyang! Listen to me."
Jing Min's voice tightened as he cupped her face, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"The medicine bottle contains glucose and vitamins, which will not harm the child at all,"
"I promise, it really isn't true."
Chu Wuyang looked at him with teary eyes, her chest heaving for a long time.
She gradually calmed down and slumped into his arms like a deflated kite.
