Chapter 228 The door is not closed
"I haven't felt this excited in a long time. A host like this should be famous! I used to think hosts were dispensable, but now I realize some hosts themselves are unprofessional! Look at Xiao Meng's on-site professionalism and her unwavering dedication to saving people. I love her!"
As public opinion quietly fermented, the number of real-time viewers in the live broadcast room of Gangcheng TV Station had unknowingly exceeded 200,000. The hot search terms related to "Gangcheng TV Station Xiao Meng" had rushed to the top of the hot search list, and there was even a "explosion" after the term. More and more people curiously clicked into the live broadcast room of Gangcheng TV Station, listening to the calm and professional report of Ren Limeng, who was covered in mud and stood upright in front of the camera, and they were reluctant to click out of the live broadcast room.
The enthusiastic audience on the barrage kept giving a summary of what had happened. Even the audience who had just entered the live broadcast room could instantly understand the rescue. Everyone stared at the live broadcast room at the same time, and Ren Limeng in the picture made people feel distressed.
At this moment, under the live camera, Ren Limeng was wet and covered in mud, and her wrinkled clothes were full of embarrassment. Her face was covered with a mixture of mud and sweat, and her hair had long been washed into a mess by the flood, sticking to her face and neck.
Even if she had secretly taken care of it with her hands, it was still too easy for it to become messy again in the storm. There was no trace of delicate makeup on Ren Limeng's face, but there were too many compliments about her beauty in the comments in the live broadcast room and on social media.
"Sister Meng, we're at the hotel! Teacher Xingzhi and Director Dong are waiting for you! It seems everyone from your team is here!"
It was already afternoon when Ren Limeng and her group returned to the hotel. In the bumpy van, Ren Limeng slept soundly. Guo She called her gently for a long time before Ren Limeng finally opened her eyes slowly. She rubbed her hazy eyes, still feeling exhausted.
"Your production crew should have come to greet you. You were amazing this morning. This afternoon, our TV station's live studio was broadcasting another on-site report, and the screen was full of likes for you. Thanks to you, the number of viewers in the studio remained close to 20,000. If it weren't for the flood that hasn't passed yet and no one has the energy to do anything else, this number would have really earned Director Fan a banner for you! Li Meng, do you want to work at our TV station? Actually, our hosts are paid well, and we're in Jingchu, which seems to be close to your home. Director Fan originally wanted to come over this afternoon to ask you in person, but there was an emergency meeting in the city..."
Following the direction of Guo She's finger, Ren Limeng subconsciously looked out the car window. Chen Xingzhi and guests and staff from the "Mountains and Seas" program team, including An Ling, Dong Zhu, and Li Qingzi, were waiting for her at the hotel entrance. Ren Limeng waved to Chen Xingzhi and his group. Amidst Guo She's somewhat nagging praise, her eyes finally became clearer.
"Brother Guo, thank you. Please also thank Fan Tai for his kindness on my behalf. I was just about to switch channels on the Orange platform and have no plans to change jobs now."
Ren Limeng spoke with a smile, her tone even a little naughty. Everything went well today, the rain outside the car had unknowingly subsided, everything was moving in a good direction, it was hard not to feel happy.
Especially when she opened her eyes and saw the person she met again, Ren Limeng looked straight at the hotel entrance with smiling eyes. However, her joy did not last long.
She stared at Shen Xingzhi, who had not responded for a long time, and finally noticed that Shen Xingzhi's cold gaze was looking at her right hand that was waving towards them, and her right hand and arm were all pure white - all wrapped in dense gauze.
The gauze extended from the fingertips to the elbows, wrapped around and around. Under the bloated gauze, the wound was more noticeable.
Ren Limeng could feel waves of tingling all day long. It wasn't intense enough, but lasted long enough, as fine as a needle prick, and as hot as a burn. If she hadn't been extremely tired, she would never have been able to fall asleep in the car.
But even though she was in poor health, Ren Limeng still had a smile on her face and got out of the car as usual. She greeted Dong Zhu, An Ling and other staff and guests who came to greet her with ease, and answered every question they asked enthusiastically.
"Li Meng, the program team just announced on Weibo that you are Xiao Meng from the Gangcheng TV live studio. Remember to share this when you have time. Everyone in the live studio was worried about you this morning. You were so brave when you jumped into the flood. The program team is so proud of you!"
Dealing with the program crew seemed no easier than walking in a flood. Ren Limeng, An Ling and others were chatting politely about their impressions of today's live broadcast, when they suddenly heard Dong Zhu's smiling voice.
She was stunned for a moment, then curled the corners of her lips, "Director Dong, you're too polite..."
Ren Limeng was just about to politely praise the production team when the man on the other side, who had been like a background figure since they met, finally spoke for the first time since Ren Limeng got off the car, "Are you not done talking yet? Director Dong, haven't you shot enough material yet?"
Following Shen Xingzhi’s lazy and cold voice, everyone subconsciously looked at the cameras around them that had been very quiet.
When Ren Limeng was in the car, she noticed a circle of cameramen from the program crew in the hotel. It was normal for the program crew to want to use her popularity to gain some traffic at this moment. Therefore, even though she was exhausted, Ren Limeng forced herself to show a normal professional state before getting off the car.
As the saying goes, "ox and horse", naturally, one job after another, she has no choice. What's more, the production team wants to seize this wave of popularity, which can be regarded as a mutual benefit for Ren Limeng.
However, Ren Limeng did not expect that Shen Xingzhi, who had been staring at her arm without saying a word, would suddenly speak at this time. The implicit meaning of the end in his words caught Dong Zhu, who had just started to talk about the purpose on the other side, off guard.
Dong Zhu wanted to pretend that she didn't understand the urging and impatience in Shen Xingzhi's tone, but like An Ling, she knew very well the reason why Shen Xingzhi came to Laigang City. It was not easy to keep pretending to be confused at this moment. Facing Shen Xingzhi's cold gaze, Dong Zhu finally chose to make a long story short.
"Brother Xingzhi, you looked so handsome when you spoke just now! I'm so tired. Luckily you spoke up, otherwise we don't know how long we would have been delayed downstairs."
Shen Xingzhi walked back to the room alone in front with a cold look. Ren Limeng and An Ling's room was not far from Shen Xingzhi's. An Ling was very considerate and sent away Li Qingzi and Fei Jingting who had been following Ren Limeng and were about to go into the room to continue chatting.
After opening their door, An Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ren Limeng, who was slowing down her pace one step away, with a smile. She then looked at the door of Chen Xingzhi's room not far away. Although she didn't say a word, Ren Limeng almost immediately understood the deep meaning in An Ling's eyes.
The most sensible thing to do at this moment is to ignore An Ling and go straight into your room, but this is not the first thought that comes to Ren Limeng's mind and she can't help it.
Although Ren Limeng had experienced many rescue scene reports, she had not experienced many thrilling rescue operations by herself like the one she had this morning. Even though she could have ignored everything and had no distractions at that moment, after the incident, Ren Limeng looked at her hands wrapped in gauze and was not completely free of fear.
Only this time, when all the fears were coming back, something was different.
Ren Limeng's mind was now filled with the indifferent Chen Xingzhi. Facing An Ling's interested gaze, Ren Limeng finally stopped. She looked around quickly, then looked back at An Ling with a smile without saying a word. After nodding slightly, Ren Limeng suddenly changed direction.
There are always impulses that are more valuable than reason. Now that everyone knows it, Ren Limeng is unwilling to restrain her feet that don't want to obey. An Ling didn't ask any more questions. Almost as soon as Ren Limeng turned around, An Ling quietly closed the door.
However, the door of Shen Xingzhi's room left a crack for Ren Limeng.
When Ren Limeng walked towards Chen Xingzhi's room, her mind was full of Chen Xingzhi's cold face in the hotel lobby just now. She could feel Chen Xingzhi's oncoming unhappiness. Just as Ren Limeng was racking her brains to think about how to "break in", when she walked to the door of the room, Ren Limeng suddenly found -
The door is not closed.
“…”
Chen Xingzhi looked at the smiling Ren Limeng expressionlessly and quickly closed the door. He chatted with her enthusiastically and sat on the sofa in the room as if he had taken the initiative.
Although Chen Xingzhi was silent the whole time, the quiet and cold atmosphere in the room did not affect Ren Limeng's shameless speech at all. She raised her tightly wrapped hands, blinked innocently, and spoke in a soft and sticky tone.
"Senior, I'm injured so badly, don't you care about me?"
The sighing voice seemed to reveal the pain of being hurt. Shen Xingzhi stared at Ren Limeng's hands and said in a cold and hard tone, "You still feel pain?"
"Of course!"
Ren Limeng pouted slightly, and her gaze towards Chen Xingzhi suddenly paused when it fell to the side and back. There was a large bag of scattered medicines on the bedside table not far away. Although she couldn't see the specific names from a distance, Ren Limeng still remembered the ordinary and conspicuous packaging of the iodine tincture that she had just applied that morning.
Her smile brightened, and she said in a half-hearted, half-false tone, "It hurts. Even though I've applied medicine, it still hurts a little. Brother Xingzhi, can you have pity on me and pour me a glass of water?"
“Serves you right.”
Shen Xingzhi frowned and spoke coldly, his tone even a little impatient, but his movements were fast and gentle. He quickly mixed a cup of warm water with mineral water, and with a cold face, he brought the paper cup of mixed water to Ren Limeng.
With an extremely gloomy aura, Shen Xingzhi stretched out his slender fingers, lowered his eyebrows, gently grasped the paper cup, and brought the cup to Ren Limeng's lips. He pursed his thin lips slightly, his movements were slow, even a little cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting Ren Limeng.
Ren Limeng bit the edge of the water cup and drank it lightly. She raised her head and tried to look into Shen Xingzhi's eyes, but she could only see Shen Xingzhi's angular profile with a look of obvious emotion. Shen Xingzhi seemed to be holding the cup patiently. The room suddenly became quieter and the only sound in the room was Ren Limeng's gurgling sound of drinking water.
