When Li Hong came out, Chi Xiuwen was outside the ward.
Normally, Li Hong might have given her a few more words of advice.
Tell Chi Xiuwen to be careful not to get photographed.
Li Hong wasn't in the mood for that now; she simply nodded to Chi Xiuwen and left.
Hu Shih hid in the hospital's emergency exit, smoking and chatting on his phone.
"Mingxu, let me tell you, you absolutely have to treat me to a meal later. I've suffered terribly today."
Lu Mingxu's voice was lazy, "Weren't you filming on set? What crime could you have committed?"
"There was a problem with the wire harness today, and my brother almost fell to his death."
Lu Mingxu hurriedly asked, "There's a problem with the wire harness. Is Pei Zhi alright?"
Hu Shih complained, "No, we've been classmates since high school, and now you're concerned about Pei Zhi?"
"Although I know you and Pei Zhi worked together on a TV series, our friendship spans so many years..."
Hu Shih cursed and swore, thinking that Lu Mingxu was a scoundrel.
"Enough with the nonsense, how's Pei Zhi?"
Hu Shi had known Lu Mingxu for so long that he knew him quite well.
Judging from the tone of Lu Mingxu's voice, Hu Shi knew that Lu Mingxu was genuinely anxious.
"Something's not right with you."
Something's not right. When did Lu Mingxu start caring about a girl?
"Hu Shi, do you want a beating?"
Hu Shih exhaled a puff of smoke. "She's fine."
She added, "I'm fine too, even though you don't care about me."
"However, she and I will stay in the hospital for two days so that the crew can take care of the wire work."
Hu Shih extinguished his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. "I suspect someone tampered with it. It's disgusting."
"Which hospital are you in? Give me the address and I'll come over."
Hu Shi refused, saying, "I'm fine, just a scratch. You don't need to come and see me."
After Hu Shi finished speaking, Lu Mingxu fell silent.
Hu Shih suddenly realized, "You didn't come to see me, you came to see Pei Zhi, didn't you?"
"You don't like her, do you?"
Hu Shih recalled what he had just witnessed in the hospital room and said, "Brother, you must be joking."
Hu Shi had promised Pei Zhi that he would not reveal their relationship to outsiders.
If he were to tell Lu Mingxu, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?
Lu Mingxu was getting impatient. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm just going to the hospital to get checked out."
Hu Shih originally wanted to say that Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen were not on good terms.
Tell Lu Mingxu not to get too deeply in love, lest he become too entangled and it become difficult to handle later.
Since Lu Mingxu wouldn't admit to liking Pei Zhi, he couldn't very well pry into Pei Zhi's private affairs.
I just promised them in the hospital room that I would keep it a secret.
"I'll give you the address. Be careful not to get photographed by paparazzi."
When Hu Shi returned to the ward, Chi Xiuwen was watching TV with Pei Zhi in his arms.
Hu Shih felt somewhat out of place as soon as he entered.
He's like a light bulb, no, he *is* a light bulb.
"How about I go to the front desk... no, I should ask the nurse if they can change my room?"
Because of Pei Zhi's and Hu Shi's social status, the hospital arranged for them to stay in a relatively secluded double room.
Chi Xiuwen asked, "Aren't you leaving tonight?"
It's just a minor scratch; surely Hu Shi wouldn't really be planning to spend the night in the hospital?
Hu Shih shrugged. "My agent just messaged me saying there are a lot of paparazzi outside and that I should stay at the hospital and not wander around."
Even though the crew tried their best to cover up the accident during filming, some news still leaked out.
If they're seen going in and out of the hospital, it'll be troublesome.
Pei Zhi quickly said, "Then you should go back first, so it won't be difficult to walk when there are many people later."
Chi Xiuwen didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll have Xiaoyuan come over later."
Xiao Yuan is Pei Zhi's assistant, and she usually accompanies Pei Zhi on set during filming.
After Chi Xiuwen left, Hu Shi immediately started gossiping, "When did you two get together?"
"Teacher Chi seems very unapproachable, how did you win him over?"
Pei Zhi answered bluntly, "Because I'm pretty."
Hu Shi was somewhat speechless, even though Pei Zhi's words were the truth.
Are you very familiar with Lu Mingxu?
Pei Zhili paused in her folding of the blanket. "Why are you asking this?"
“Lu Mingxu and I were high school classmates and have known each other for many years. I’m mentioning you today.”
Pei Zhi's hand tightened. Had Hu Shi said something he shouldn't have?
"Don't worry, I haven't told Teacher Chi about your relationship."
Seeing that Pei Zhi's expression was off, Hu Shi quickly offered an explanation.
“Lu Mingxu seemed very concerned about you on the phone, so I asked if you two are very close.”
Hu Shih understood Lu Mingxu well; he was extremely aloof.
In addition, Lu Mingxu is currently enjoying extraordinary popularity in the entertainment industry.
Some people will deliberately try to get close to Lu Mingxu because of his popularity, hoping to ride on his coattails.
Lu Mingxu doesn't have many friends in the entertainment industry.
They usually knew each other before they became famous, like Hu Shi.
Pei Zhi carefully considered her answer, "We should be quite familiar with each other."
They should be considered familiar with each other. They've slept together, so if they're not considered familiar, that's a bit much, isn't it?
"Great, then we can be considered friends from now on."
Hu Shi knew that she had a close relationship with Chi Xiuwen, and Hu Shi was also very familiar with Lu Mingxu.
In this way, Hu Shih was a ticking time bomb.
If one day Hu Shi accidentally says something to Lu Mingxu, it will cause a lot of trouble.
But what if the person who keeps secrets becomes the person who keeps secrets?
System alert: [Host, what are you doing?]
Don't do anything reckless, you already have enough trouble already!
Before she could even resolve one problem after another, Pei Zhi continued to create more trouble for herself.
Pei Zhi didn't care. "One more or one less won't make a difference."
[If I don't drag Hu Shih into this, I won't be able to extricate myself now.]
Xiao Yuan brought over toiletries, and also some from Hu Shi.
"Teacher Hu, your assistant said they told me to bring you some toiletries and a change of clothes."
Hu Shih accepted it, saying, "Okay, thank you."
Xiao Yuan took out all the things she had brought for Pei Zhi, including dinner.
"Sis, I might not be able to stay here with you tonight. Teacher Fan's assistant suddenly resigned and asked me to come over."
After Xiaoyuan finished speaking, she was terrified that Pei Zhi would be angry.
She was Pei Zhi's assistant, and Fan Yunshu summoned her because of Pei Zhi's influence.
Hu Shih lowered his head and ate, pretending he didn't exist.
"Okay, go ahead."
Xiao Yuan was a little surprised that Pei Zhi agreed so easily.
Not to mention Xiaoyuan, even Hu Shi was somewhat surprised.
Fan Yunshu's behavior was like slapping Pei Zhi across the face.
Pei Zhi was not angry at all; in fact, she agreed in a good-natured manner.
Pei Zhi gestured, "You can go now."
Xiao Yuan pointed to the door of the ward, "So I'm really leaving?"
"Um."
Pei Zhi couldn't wait for Xiao Yuan to leave, so that it would just be her and Hu Shi alone that night.
