After finishing his class downstairs, An couldn't wait to return to his room and start looking for the very effective liniment that his friend had given him in his suitcase.
But it wasn't found.
He glanced at the thoroughly searched suitcase, thought for a moment, and then made a phone call.
"A famous director?" Mu Nian answered the phone: "Weren't you participating in a variety show? How come you have time to call me?"
"Could you bring me that bottle of medicated oil from my room?" An asked.
"Please, I have a ton of official business to handle, do you think I'm your errand boy?" Mu Nian said, then quickly added, "Unless you admit you participated in the variety show for Chen Lian."
Chen Lian? An hates this name now.
"Never mind, I'll go get it myself." He was about to hang up when Mu Nian quickly said, "No, no, no, I'll bring it over right away!"
I happen to have some time now, and I might even run into Chen Lian.
About half an hour later, Mu Nian drove to the villa where the filming was taking place. Zhu Ze, having learned from An that Mu Nian was coming, went to greet him personally.
This person is in politics; there's no harm in getting acquainted with him.
"An, you owe me a favor this time..." We had just arrived at An's room and taken out the things.
"Thanks."
Mu Nian stood there, stunned. The medicinal oil in his hand was gone, and An, who had been standing in front of him just moments before, was also gone.
An had already found out Bai Yan's room. He had also thought it through; as a director, it was perfectly normal for him to care about the actors' health.
He stood at the door of Bai Yan's room and gently knocked.
"Hello, I brought some medicinal wine, it's very effective..."
The door opened from the inside, and a little girl holding a rabbit doll looked at him and whispered, "Director An."
An looked into the room; there were two other people in Bai Yan's room.
One was her co-star that day, and he also vaguely remembered the other girl; she was a good actress.
At this moment, Fang Yaming was helping Bai Yan apply medicine. The room was filled with the smell of liniment. After hearing the sound at the door, all three of them looked up.
"Director An?"
There were already four people in the room, and with the addition of the tall Ann, the small double room felt a bit cramped.
They arrived too late; they weren't the first, nor were they the second.
After greeting everyone, An turned her gaze to Bai Yan.
How's your foot?
Bai Yan smiled at him: "The medicinal wine that Ya Ming brought is very effective. It doesn't hurt anymore, and the swelling should go down by tomorrow."
Fang Yaming said, "Don't be so careless. I'll massage it for you for another half hour. Once the blood and qi flow through this kind of sprain, it's fine. Otherwise, with the Three Dukes rehearsing every day for a few days, your foot won't be able to take it."
Bai Yan could only nod helplessly.
An wanted to sit next to her and apply the medicine, but all the seats around her were full.
"This is the medicated oil I mentioned to you before. My friend gave it to me, and it works very well." He placed the medicated oil on the table next to him.
Fang Yaming and Lu Yuzhi quickly thanked Bai Yan on her behalf, but this only made An seem like an outsider.
"Then... take good care of your injuries." Seeing that he really had no chance, he could only leave.
Chen Chen tilted his head and watched An leave: Isn't Uncle a very capable director? Why does he seem so aggrieved?
An returned to her room, where Mu Nian was also sitting on the sofa. He glanced at her and asked, "You're back?"
"Who's injured? Why are you in such a hurry to deliver medicine?" Mu Nian asked, then added worriedly, "Could it be Chen Lian?" No wonder he hadn't run into her while circling the villa.
An frowned: "It's not Chen Lian."
"Stop pretending. It's not shameful to back down for a woman like Chen Lian," Mu Nian said.
“I told you, I didn’t come because of Chen Lian.” An looked at Mu Nian. He only liked that person, so he didn’t want his friends to misunderstand. “I came for Bai Yan. I… I think I fell in love with her at first sight.”
His usually aloof face flushed slightly.
"ha?"
Mu Nian was in a meeting during the live stream, so he knew nothing: "Bai Yan? An, no, Ollie, Ollie, good brother, listen to me, you may not know much about the domestic entertainment industry, Bai Yan is no good, really no good!"
He opened the notebook beside him: "Look, a quick online search reveals all her dirty secrets!"
An looked at the screen. The negative information Mu Nian found included Bai Yan's diva-like behavior and canceling various TV stations three years ago, bullying minor actors, plastic surgery, and being caught sleeping with Bo Yaodong.
"Hey, look, your fans are all telling you to stay away from her on your personal blog? Seriously, you didn't confess your feelings to her on camera, did you?"
An's face immediately darkened. Mu Nian, standing beside him, thought he was furious because he had seen his beloved's true colors: "It's not too late for you to know now..."
“It’s all fake; they’re slandering and hurting her,” Ann said. “I need to find my lawyer.”
Mu Nian: ...
"Oli, wake up!"
"Is Director An here?" A female voice came from the doorway. An's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed to the door, but just before opening it, he turned back to look at Mu Nian; "Do I look alright now?"
Mu Nian: ...
"Handsome, you are very handsome."
An quickly opened the door. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. The lights in the villa had a yellowish tint, which made her lips feel warm and cozy.
"I made this especially to thank you for your help today," Bai Yan said, presenting the tray with the contents as if it were a precious treasure.
An thought she was referring to the medicated oil, "Did you use it? Does it still hurt?"
