Early Sunday morning, Lan Shuang just opened her eyes and heard 888 say, "Host, I just received news that we need to conduct a system maintenance. There have been some problems with the database recently, so I may need to upgrade it."
Lan Shuang immediately woke up, "So you're leaving? How long?"
888: "I don't know either. If it's fast, it will take a day or two. If it's slow, it may take ten days or half a month. It depends on the situation. I will be back as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll wait for you then."
Lan Shuang blew him a kiss: "Mmmmm~"
888: "Host, bye~"
As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if a barrier suddenly appeared in Lan Shuang's mind, cutting off her connection with 888. She could no longer feel the existence of the system.
"Xiao Baba?"
There was silence in the space.
"Leaving so soon, it's really a bit hard to adapt."
Lan Shuang closed her eyes and relaxed, then got up to wash up. Although she only had one scene today, it was a very important one. The second female lead, having seen through the fact that she had been deceived, was disheartened and died for her country, preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace, which just proved the title of the play.
To put it bluntly, what she was going to shoot today was a scene of jumping off the city wall.
The staff arrived at the scene early in the morning and repeatedly checked the equipment. Only after confirming that there were no problems did they dare let Lan Shuang go up.
Lan Shuang was wearing a black robe with gold phoenix patterns and a golden crown on her head. She stood on the city wall, looking down at the thousands of troops below.
"Okay, actors, take your positions, let's begin—"
Lan Shuang stepped forward a little and walked to the edge of the city wall. Her eyes slowly became moist. After brewing her emotions, she said loudly: "I am the eldest princess of Yan State. No matter what, I will never betray Great Yan. Today, the city is broken, and I will die with you all!"
As she said this, she jumped off the city wall amid exclamations.
The plan was originally very good, and she would land safely, but something unexpected happened. A rope of the wire suddenly loosened, and her body dropped sharply and she fell straight down!
This time, the people's exclamations were more genuine.
"Lan Shuang!"
Lan Shuang hugged her head and face in time, tried to turn around, and let her legs touch the ground first. Then there was a click, and a sharp pain came. She gasped, and her face turned pale with pain. She must have sprained her ankle.
The moment she landed, she thought to herself that it was a good thing that only one rope was loose. If the whole rope was loose, she would probably break her leg if she fell like this.
The first day 888 is away, I miss it.
"Lan Shuang, are you okay?"
"Hurry up, call 120!"
"Spread out, don't get so close, she can't breathe!"
Lan Shuang felt dizzy and wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she fainted.
…
When she regained consciousness, she heard someone ask the doctor, "How is it? Is it serious?"
"Luckily, she landed well, so she only twisted a little. The rest of her body was impacted, and there may be bruises, but no bones were broken. The most serious injury is her ankle. I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of bed and walk for a month. We'll have to observe her further, but if she takes good care of herself, it won't affect her future life."
"That's good, thank you."
This voice...
"Gu...Gu Xiao?"
Lan Shuang's weak voice rang out. Gu Xiao, who was following the doctor out, immediately turned around and rushed to the bedside, "Are you awake?"
Lan Shuang slowly opened her eyes, looked at Gu Xiao who was kneeling on one knee beside the bed, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Gu Xiao frowned, looking a bit fierce. "If I don't come, who will? I arrived at the set early, intending to give you a surprise, but who knew I would scare you instead."
Lan Shuang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"I didn't expect that either."
She struggled to sit up, but Gu Xiao held her down and said fiercely, "Don't move. It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Your foot needs a while to heal. Just lie still."
Lan Shuang stopped moving, staring at him for a moment, then said with some disdain, "You're so fierce."
Gu Xiao: “…”
He hesitated to speak, and finally said in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry."
"I don't blame you. I had agreed to talk to you, but now that the plan has fallen through, I should be the one to say sorry."
"What are you sorry for?" Gu Xiao shook his head. "The crew should be blamed for this. I've asked my assistant to handle it."
"By the way, where are the director and the others?" Lan Shuang asked.
“Dongdongdong——”
When the director arrived, Gu Xiao went to open the door. When he saw the director, his face darkened and he stared at him dimly. The director was holding a large fruit basket and his face was slightly red. "Can I go in and talk?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "Director, please come in, Gu Xiao."
Gu Xiao then moved aside, and the director breathed a sigh of relief after entering. The man's eyes were so terrifying, as if he was going to pounce on him and bite off his neck!
"I'm so sorry. I had the staff check it out before, but who knew there would still be a problem? I'm so sorry. The crew will cover the medical expenses, including the subsequent recovery—"
"No need, you can keep that money for yourselves, I will take care of these," Gu Xiao walked over and sat down on the chair beside the bed.
"That won't work. The compensation that's due still needs to be paid. Fortunately, nothing serious happened."
The director was still in shock, and Lan Shuang consoled him, "Fortunately, I only had a sprain. Director, don't blame yourself too much. You should still pay more attention to the safety of props in the future. However, I'm injured now, so my scenes will have to be filmed later. I'm afraid it will slow down the crew's progress."
"It's okay, it's okay! Your scenes later on will mainly be flashbacks, so we can shoot the others first and wait until you're discharged."
"good."
Lan Shuang nodded. The director wanted to say something else, but Gu Xiao immediately sent her away: "She needs to rest now. If you have anything, please talk to my assistant. If not, please leave first."
The director hesitated to speak and looked at Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang smiled at him helplessly.
The director understood, this was tacit consent, could they be a boyfriend and girlfriend? It didn't look like it.
He was so curious that he was scratching his head, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only leave in shame.
Gu Xiao closed the door, his expression not looking good, "You are not a reliable director at all."
"His attitude is pretty good." Lan Shuang suddenly thought of something and asked him, "Where's my phone?"
"Oh, it's with your assistant."
"Where's my assistant?"
"With my assistant."
Lan Shuang: “…”
…
Xiao Xu was stopped outside the door. He glanced towards the ward from time to time, worried. "Assistant Lu, can I go in? The director has come out."
Assistant Lu was a very gentle man in his early twenties wearing glasses. He smiled slightly and decisively refused: "No."
Xiao Xu: "...Why? The one inside is my sister Shuang."
Assistant Lu: "Because my boss is inside, he said no, there's nothing I can do. But don't worry, my boss will take good care of Miss Lan."
Xiao Xu looked doubtful: "Are you sure?"
Assistant Lu nodded: "If you can't take good care of it, you can still ring the bell."
Xiao Xu: “…”
Are you afraid it's poisonous?
