Chapter 108 Do you like me?
"It's a sprain and a fracture. It's best not to do any strenuous activities within a month. Take good care of yourself and change the dressings and have regular checkups." The doctor pushed his glasses, read the medical records, and handed them to Xu Shi'an.
Xu Shi'an's face was gloomy. He said thank you stiffly and walked out of the door, heading straight towards Fang Xin.
Fang Xin changed the medicine and stayed in the temporary ward. His face turned pale due to the pain, but he was otherwise fine.
The door was pushed open, and Xu Shi'an approached him quietly, taking the doctor's words to heart, and explained the details to Fang Xin.
After listening, Fang Xin thought for a moment and said slowly: "Then those simple scenes can be filmed, just don't affect the progress."
"You are injured now, but Director Wan is not an unkind person." There was obvious opposition in Xu Shi'an's words, and Fang Xin frowned with some displeasure.
"This is filming, not a joke. Since no violent movements are allowed, it doesn't mean that some close-ups or simple scenes can't be filmed." Fang Xin's words were a little excited, and Xu Shi'an remained silent.
After a while, Xu Shi'an said, "I understand."
The consequence of agreeing to continue filming was that Xu Shi'an would pick him up from get off work on time every day, and it was Xu Shi'an who took him to the follow-up examinations.
Every day, everyone in the crew saw Xu Shi'an carrying people up and down. Fang Xin had long said that he wanted to buy a wheelchair or a crutches, but Xu Shi'an kept dragging them.
One day Fang Xin couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "When will you give me a wheelchair or a crutches?"
Xu Shi'an hung his head and looked a little depressed, and reluctantly let someone bring the supporting pole.
From that day on, Fang Xin was no longer carried by Xu Shi'an, and Fang Xin felt a lot more relieved.
An Mei only found out about Fang Xin's injury three weeks after it happened. Fang Xin had been keeping it a secret, and it was Xu Shi'an who leaked the information. An Mei rushed to the crew and brought the person back.
Fang Xin sat on the sofa obediently, looking at An Mei eagerly, "Aunt, I'm almost well now, don't worry about me..."
An Mei's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Do you think you're fine? A normal person would at least take a leave of absence to rest at home for half a month before returning to work if you have a broken bone or sprain. But you went to the crew the next day!"
"The filming hasn't been completed yet, so of course we have to be more proactive!" He smiled and tried to get away with it, but An Mei didn't buy it.
"No matter what, you have to rest at home for a week before I let you go. Otherwise, forget it."
This was An Mei's last compromise, and Fang Xin had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Director Wan also agreed to give him a vacation.
Xu Shi'an now goes straight back to Xu's house after get off work. An Mei is not surprised by this. Instead, she finds opportunities to avoid him so that the two of them can spend more time together.
When I was helping my aunt cook in the kitchen, a man came in. He rolled up his suit and said in a somewhat unfamiliar way, "I want to learn how to make soup. Can you teach me?"
An Mei looked at her son at the door as if she had seen a ghost. She was so stunned that she didn't know what to do.
Xu Shi'an probably knew that An Mei was a little surprised, so he volunteered to squeeze into the kitchen. For a moment, the kitchen seemed crowded with tall men squeezing in.
An Mei came to her senses and signaled her aunt to go out first, leaving Xu Shi'an and her alone in the kitchen.
"Why don't you go out and accompany Xinxin to learn how to make soup?"
Xu Shi twirled his fingers, his expression was a bit unnatural, he was no longer the usual aloof person who kept away from strangers, but rather a bit smoky.
"He's injured, bone soup is best for him."
After hearing this, what else does An Mei not understand?
An Mei carefully and patiently taught Xu Shi'an how to handle bones, and then told him how to add seasonings. Xu Shi'an frowned and studied seriously, more seriously than at his job.
"Is this okay?" Xu Shi'an placed the portion of seasoning in front of Anmei and asked her to judge.
An Mei took a look and felt that it was a bit too much, so she asked him to remove some, and then put it down.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen for a while. Fang Xin went back to the room to take a short rest, then came downstairs when she smelled something delicious.
There was still a rich supply of food on the table. As soon as it was served, Xu Shi'an placed a bowl of soup in front of him.
Fang Xin was so frightened that she dared not move, fearing that the elders at the table would notice something was wrong.
Fortunately, An Mei and Xu Shijie didn't look over, Fang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, brother."
When the soup entered his mouth, Fang Xin frowned suddenly, as the soup was stuck in his mouth.
Xu Shi'an looked nervous. Before he could even pick up the chopsticks, he was frightened by Fang Xin's appearance and dared not move. He saw Fang Xin spit the soup back into the bowl.
"Is this soup spoiled?"
An Mei rubbed her forehead speechlessly on the other side. She forgot to let Xu Shi'an taste it after adding the seasoning, and it went directly into Fang Xin's mouth. Now it was over.
"It's not bad, it's not bad. If it doesn't taste good, just change it." An Mei took the bowl from his hand and motioned to her aunt to bring a new bowl.
Fang Xin tried all the dishes on the table, and none of them was bad. This was the first time he had eaten something bad at Xu's house.
Xu Shi'an was extremely quiet throughout the whole process. After finishing his meal, he went straight into the kitchen and didn't come out for a long time. When he came out again, he looked a little strange and had a hint of guilt on his face.
It was three days later that Xu Shi'an personally made soup for him. At that time, Fang Xin had nothing to do and wanted to go to the garden to watch the sunset.
It was very early at this time, but I could smell the strong aroma coming from the kitchen.
He took a look out of curiosity and saw Xu Shi'an rolling up his sleeves and cooking soup with a serious look on his face. Even if something on the table was a little messy, it would not hinder his concentration at the moment.
Fang Xin was shocked to the point of being speechless. He didn't know what to say to express his feelings. The taste was very familiar; it was the bone soup he drank every day.
He said that whatever you drink will replenish what you have, and unexpectedly Xu Shi'an believed it.
At dinner that day, Fang Xin took a look at the soup in front of him, which was much better than the previous two days. He hesitated and looked at Xu Shi'an.
It was obvious that he was holding the chopsticks nervously. If he said it didn't taste good again today, Shi'an might have to come back early tomorrow to prepare it.
Fang Xin picked up the bowl, took a sip, raised an eyebrow in surprise, and surprisingly, it tasted quite good.
Fang Xin broke the silence at the table and said, "It's delicious!"
After hearing this, someone finally revealed a relaxed smile. An Mei glanced at Xu Shi'an and silently cheered for her son in her heart.
Before returning to the room at night, Xu Shi'an went upstairs first. Fang Xin saw him and quickly picked up the support pole to follow him. An Mei shouted from behind, "Be careful! Shi'an, help Xinxin."
When Xu Shi'an heard the word "be careful", he immediately turned around. He came back to support Fang Xin and whispered in his ear, "It's inconvenient to go upstairs. I can carry you up."
Fang Xin felt a little uncomfortable. Normally he would refuse, but today he surprisingly didn't want to refuse him.
"Okay, my legs happen to be sore today, so thank you for your help." Fang Xin smiled, and people who came closer saw his sweet dimples and turned their eyes away.
An Mei saw Xu Shi'an pick up the person and walk upstairs steadily. She covered her mouth and tried her best not to scream.
Back in the room, Fang Xin looked at Xu Shi'an thoughtfully. Xu Shi'an felt uncomfortable being looked at, so he asked to pick up the pole for him. Fang Xin then shook the pole in his hand.
"I brought it up."
Xu Shian found an excuse to go back to his room, but Fang Xin stopped him.
"Brother, the soup these days is delicious. You have worked hard." Fang Xin winked mischievously. When Xu Shi'an heard this, he understood that Fang Xin knew it was he who stewed the soup.
"Well, you're welcome. I just hope you get better soon." Xu Shi'an turned and walked out.
Fang Xin's eyes followed his figure until he disappeared. He leaned against the bed, thinking about Xu Shi'an's recent actions.
He lowered his head, his eyes showing a little tenderness.
Over the next few days, Fang Xin's complexion and health improved a lot under the care of An Mei and Xu Shi'an, and he even gained several pounds on his originally thin figure.
Xu Shi'an saw that the person he was supporting had a rosy face every day. He was just upset because the plaster bandage on his leg had not been removed yet, but otherwise he always had a smile on his face when he went to work.
Every day he gets home from get off work on time, and sometimes goes out for a walk and chat with Fang Xin. Neither of them mentions anything about their relationship.
Fang Xin liked this feeling very much, until that night when he dreamed of another self.
Fang Xin looked gentle, without the hostility he had when they first met. He chuckled, "We meet again, and it seems like we meet more often."
"Last time you mentioned the novel with me as the protagonist, who is the other protagonist?" Fang Xin asked directly. He has been curious about it for a long time. If he can't be sure, he doesn't know whether he should stay in this world.
The other person was silent, as if he was deep in thought. It took a long time for him to reply, "That person is someone I've had a crush on for a long time, Xu Shi'an."
"!"
Fang Xin was shocked. What did that mean?! Are he and Xu Shi'an the protagonists of another novel?!
"Don't be surprised, because I was also shocked for a long time when I first found out." Fang Xin said slowly, "In fact, you didn't die suddenly, we just switched back. You don't belong to our current world. You are a character in the novel, and I am a real person."
"The reason why I turned the plot into cannon fodder is because I don't have your characteristics. I'm not the protagonist, so I can't change my fate. Now that you're back, the plot is back on track and everything makes sense."
Fang Xin's legs were almost paralyzed. He kept chewing on what Fang Xin said. At this moment, he couldn't believe that the parents in the real world were not his, but the ones in this world were.
So when he returned to the cemetery that time, the memories at that time were not the original owner's, but originally belonged to him.
No wonder I feel so heartbroken, that's why.
Fang Xin's smile disappeared, and he spoke again, "Or, if you want to come back, you can reject Xu Shi'an's courtship and completely cut off contact with him. Then you will become cannon fodder again, and then you will complete the main plot of my presence, and you will naturally be useless in that world."
When he woke up from the dream, the voice of his other self kept echoing in his mind, almost driving him crazy.
Today is the day Xu Shi'an took him to the hospital to remove the plaster. The doctor's instructions were still the same: pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous activities to avoid secondary injury.
Xu Shi'an answered for Fang Xin. Because of Fang Xin's silence, Xu Shi'an had not spoken a word to him.
Both of them were silent. Fang Xin was recalling something in her mind, while Xu Shi'an was thinking about what reason he would have to look for Fang Xin in the future.
The two of them were thinking different things. After a while, Fang Xin turned to look at Xu Shi'an with a serious look in his eyes, "Do you like me?"
The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. The cars behind it braked in time and all the drivers behind were cursing and honking their horns.
Fang Xin was pushed back so that he lowered his head, his hair blocking his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.
Xu Shi'an still drove slowly to the side of the road and stopped. There was silence in the car.
