Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Sister Xu bent down to look at Ning Xin's foot, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, Bao'er, why were you in such a hurry? I didn't even notice! It must hurt a lot!"
Sister Xu is petite, and she was wearing high heels today, although the heels were a bit low. Her shoes were clearly not suitable for Ning Xin.
"Where did Xiaoyu go? That brat is nowhere to be seen!" Sister Xu thought of Ning Xin's assistant, Xiaoyu. She and Ning Xin shared a similar shoe size.
Ning Xin said softly, "I told her to go to the hot pot restaurant and queue up."
There's a hot pot restaurant in the city that Ning Xin loves, but the lines are always long. Ning Xin originally planned to go there after the opening ceremony, but she asked Xiao Yu to go ahead and queue up. Anyway, the opening ceremony won't take long, so it's convenient to just go there and eat.
It's true what they say: you only realize how little you know when you need it, and how little you have when you need someone.
Sister Xu felt embarrassed and immediately called Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, don't wait in line, come back first, no, go straight back to the hotel."
Shen Qingyuan had already taken off her shoes and was standing barefoot on the ground. The shoes were simple white sneakers, the kind of convenient shoes she wore year-round.
Shen Qingyuan is tall and her shoe size is quite large. Ning Xin is shorter than her, so her shoes shouldn't be too tight.
"Then what are you going to do, Dr. Shen?" Ning Xin asked seriously. She was much calmer now, and her voice was no longer trembling.
“My colleague lives nearby, I can just ask him to bring me a pair,” Shen Qingyuan said, adding, “It’s very convenient.”
There are shoe stores near the scenic area, but Xiao Chao is quite busy right now, so I don't know if he'll have time for her. Oh well, it's just a pair of shoes; before they were invented, humans walked barefoot.
Soon, Ning Xin's black van arrived.
Ning Xin wasn't one to dawdle. Although she had hundreds of shoes in her closet, this was the only pair she had to wear right now. She quickly put on Shen Qingyuan's shoes. She slipped on one shoe, leaving the heel down so it wouldn't rub against her wound.
Sister Xu and several staff members from the film crew escorted Ning Xin as they left first.
In the midst of the chaos, Sister Xu didn't forget to pull Ning Xin's hat brim down a bit. Ning Xin's sunglasses, which had fallen to the ground, were also picked up by someone, and Sister Xu helped her put them back on.

"He who eats the king's food must serve the king." Xiao Chao's attention was entirely on Ye Chuyang, fearing that he might have suffered another serious injury.
"Yang-ge, are you sure your back is okay? Don't bear it, I'll go get a wheelchair, it'll be quick!"
"Forget it, don't go." Ye Chuyang said in a low voice. The scene was already lively enough, and he didn't want to add to the excitement.
The production team arranged for the main cast and crew to leave first. The process was almost complete, with only one group photo left. However, since the leading actresses and actresses had all left, there was no point in taking any more photos. They could just take a screenshot from the live stream later.
As they descended the steps, Xiao Chao noticed that Ye Chuyang's grip on his shoulder had noticeably increased. Sigh…
Ye Chuyang got into the car, and Xiao Chao habitually went to the driver's seat. Two other staff members who had been temporarily assigned by the company were sitting in the passenger seat and the back seat.
"Wait a minute." Ye Chuyang called Xiao Chao over, lowered his voice, and whispered something in his ear.
Xiao Chao nodded and said to the two staff members, "Hey guys, which of you can drive? You can sit in the driver's seat."
"Then I'll drive."
The staff member sitting in the back seat quickly got out of the car and moved to the driver's seat.
"Slow down, there are a lot of people on the road," Xiao Chao reminded him.
Perhaps this is the charm of "Su Liao"—one second he's playing the hero saving a damsel in distress, and the next he's concerned about whether his employees have shoes to wear.
Xiao Chao wasn't particularly surprised; Ye Chuyang was always a very kind boss to his colleagues. He was very understanding and considerate, regardless of gender.
They are even more attentive to girls.
-
Half an hour later, Shen Qingyuan was wearing a new pair of white sneakers, thanks to Xiao Chao, who had specially gone to a nearby shoe store to buy them.
Because of the forced hug incident, the scene was chaotic. First, the main cast members hurriedly left, and then the fans scattered and left. The staff on site were quite busy.
Shen Qingyuan didn't mention the shoes to Xiao Chao. It was Xiao Chao who ran back and asked her what size shoes she wore.
"Sister Chen, please sit here for a while while I go buy a pair of shoes nearby."
"...Doesn't Ye Chuyang need your help?"
"It was Brother Yang who told me to come back."
Shen Qingyuan: "..."
She really hadn't expected him to send someone to look after her. After all, there were so many people and the place was so chaotic; everyone was overwhelmed.
More than half an hour later, Xiao Chao brought her the new shoes.
Shen Qingyuan sat on the steps putting on her shoes, and they fit quite well. They felt comfortable and were very lightweight.
After thanking Xiao Chao, Shen Qingyuan thought of Ye Chuyang again, "He's actually a pretty good person."
Xiao Chao exclaimed, "Who's there?"
“I mean, Ye Chuyang.” Shen Qingyuan sent out the “good guy” card.
“Of course, Yang is known for his great relationships in the industry, he’s like a 'people-pleaser,' his character is impeccable.” Xiao Chao said while tidying up the shoe boxes. “He’s especially considerate of girls, all the female colleagues in our company really enjoy working with him…”
"Central air conditioning" and "especially for girls..." Shen Qingyuan paid special attention to these words.
The shoes were from a brand she had never seen before. Shen Qingyuan thought the style was similar and the price shouldn't be too high.
When asked about the price, Xiao Chao didn't say, only that the company had funds to reimburse him.
It seems that the benefits offered by film and television companies are quite good.
By now, Ye Chuyang's car had already left. Xiao Chao and Shen Qingyuan lagged behind. They caught up with the large group of fans who were orderly dispersing; the line was quite long.
People were packed together, and even if you could cut in line, you couldn't.
While waiting in line, Xiao Chao went to Weibo to check things out because he was bored.
Goodness, I knew this would trend on Weibo today, but I didn't expect it to trend on seven or eight different platforms. The keywords were Ning Xin and Su Liao. The number one trending topic in the real-time search list was "Ning Xin was forcibly hugged".
Needless to say, Ning Xin's fans were all somewhat disheartened. It was as if this was a bolt from the blue they had brought upon themselves.
Although it trended on social media and gained exposure and public sympathy, which girl would want to experience something like this?
unlucky!
Ye Chuyang's fans are increasingly proud, feeling that he is always willing to help others and that he is like a hero in critical moments!
Xiao Chao felt smug, and seeing the fans praising Ye Chuyang made him very happy.
The organizers failed to keep these obsessive and perverted fans out, causing such a serious threat to the male and female leads of a major production. This has angered many fans, and there are numerous comments advocating for their rights to be protected and for those responsible to be held accountable.
Ning Xin was terrified; photos of her in tears appeared online almost immediately. At that moment, her sunglasses were off, her hair was messy, and her makeup was ruined.
But, surprisingly, her looks haven't faltered!!!
Her beautiful eyes were brimming with tears, her brows were slightly furrowed, her nose was red, and her little face was so white it was almost transparent. She looked so pitiful.
Xiao Chao clicked his tongue twice while looking at his phone. He already liked Ning Xin quite a bit, and after meeting her in person a few times, he thought she was as delicate as a doll, and liked her even more.
Girls who are beautiful, and even more beautiful when they cry, naturally evoke a boy's protective instincts.
If only I had been the one to save the damsel in distress earlier, maybe something would have happened between me and the goddess... As soon as Xiao Chao had this daydream, he stopped himself.
We're not from the same world, what are you thinking?
In Xiao Chao's mind, only very successful men and women are considered a good match, such as the male and female leads of a movie, the director and a famous actor, or the investor and the producer.
Marrying someone of equal social standing has been the foundation of society for thousands of years.
So even though Ye Chuyang specifically asked him to come back and deliver shoes to Shen Qingyuan, he would only think: Brother Yang is really kind to his employees.
"Sister Chen, do you think Brother Yang likes Ning Xin? He even rescued her like a hero, and his tackle was so clean and efficient, tsk tsk!"
Xiao Chao still remembered the bet he made with Shen Qingyuan. Now he felt that the arguments were solid and things were moving in the direction he expected.
That's true, after being a bachelor for so many years, it's time for Yang Ge to start dating.
Shen Qingyuan took a sip of bottled water. After being out for two hours, she was feeling listless from the sun and squinted at the line in front of her.
Even if the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong appeared, she wouldn't bother watching. For a relationship to develop, both people need to be relaxed, well-fed, clothed, and in good spirits.
"Maybe so." Shen Qingyuan frowned slightly. "However, after all, the two are colleagues. It would be unreasonable for any righteous man to remain indifferent in this situation."
She didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Chao, always trying to matchmake this couple. Plus, the weather was hot, and she was getting a little annoyed. Since the two young people had the basic conditions, let them talk about it. What business was it of Zhang San or Li Si?
“That’s true…” Xiao Chao murmured.
The trash cans along the way were now piles of garbage. Shen Qingyuan casually tossed her empty bottle over.
Memories from my student days, like little episodes, are also lost, lost.
I'm inexplicably feeling anxious. It's so strange!
Xiao Chao continued, "I see there are already fans online who ship Yang Ge and Ning Xin as a couple. But the chemistry between couples is pretty unpredictable; not all handsome men and beautiful women can create that kind of effect together..."

Anyone who has been to a doctor knows that most doctors in public hospitals have a rather cold demeanor.
With many patients, long working hours, monthly performance reviews, and life-or-death situations, plus the need to constantly learn new knowledge, it would be strange to offer patients the kind of smiling service you'd expect—they might even think they're about to die.
It's cold, so cold. Dr. Shen's face was almost frozen.
Shen Qingyuan lifted up half of someone's shirt at the lower back, her movements quite rough.
Ye Chuyang felt a sudden chill in his lower back and took a half step forward.
The smooth curves of the erector spinae muscles on both sides of his lumbar spine rose and fell slightly with his breathing.
Because his waist was backlit, from Shen Qingyuan's perspective, a triangular shadow was faintly visible at his waist dimples.
Quiet. Unusually quiet.
I could only faintly hear soft breathing.
Dr. Shen pressed and moved his hands over the affected area of the lumbar intervertebral disc.
Ye Chuyang let out a soft exclamation.
Shen Qingyuan stopped what she was doing and asked, "How much pain do you feel?"
“2…” Ye Chuyang still remembered the pain grading during the palpation. He pursed his lips, his right eye slightly narrowed as if afraid of pain, a little uncertain. “Or 3. Not very painful, just a little bit.”
This level is at least a 4. I'm too lazy to call him out on it.
"Bend over... Okay, stop. Retract."
Shen Qingyuan withdrew her hand expressionlessly and took off her medical gloves.
The affected area was red and swollen, and palpable. There was a slight sprain, but it wasn't too serious, which was better than Shen Qingyuan had expected.
Not too stupid!
However, due to his old injury, this twist will slow down his recovery process.
"Okay, that's fine."
Ye Chuyang put down the clothes and turned around. "I was quite careful just now, and I didn't use my waist too much."
Right now, Xiao Chao has put a new cotton sheet on the physiotherapy bed. He patted it flat and smoothed it out, making it very neat.
Shen Qingyuan: "Lie down."
She placed a thin pillow under his waist.
Ye Chuyang lay on his back on the physiotherapy bed, turned his neck, glanced at Shen Qingyuan, his eyes were unfocused and shifty.
“It’s alright. In that situation, it was really hard to stand idly by. Although there were dozens of security guards on site, they weren’t far away.” Shen Qingyuan raised her long eyebrows, her tone slightly sarcastic and teasing. “It’s like a hero saving a damsel in distress, I understand.”
Ye Chuyang choked, feeling that something about those words was amiss.
