Shao Jinhuan was a little surprised and put down the script: "Why are you here?"

Brother Zhang put down the fruit basket he bought on the way and smiled: "We are from the same company, so of course I have to come and see. But how come Mr. Shao has so much free time?"

Shao Jinhuan looked helplessly at Bai Ziwei, who was lying on the bed and browsing his phone, and said, "I just came to check on him. He happened to be receiving an IV drip, so I helped Sister Qing take care of him."

Bai Ziwei put down his phone and glanced at Shen Ci and the other man. His eyes were very strange, as if filled with unwarranted contempt and malice.

Shen Ci was puzzled, and then he saw Bai Ziwei's expression change instantly and he put on a grateful and weak smile: "Thank you... Thank you for coming to see me."

His voice was weak and a little hoarse with tears in it. Shen Ci replied with some discomfort.

Ever since the car accident, Bai Ziwei looked a little hypocritical, in any case, different from before.

He had a vague guess yesterday, whether Bai Ziwei was possessed by someone who knew the plot. When he saw Bai Ziwei again today, this possibility seemed to become clearer and more real.

Bai Ziwei's temperament changed drastically before and after the car accident. Although everyone was surprised, they all accepted it silently. Only Shen Ci, who knew that this world was just a novel, could keenly perceive this possibility.

Shen Ci and Brother Zhang sat on the sofa next to them. They originally wanted to talk to Bai Ziwei, but for some reason, as Bai Ziwei was talking, he would always unconsciously turn the subject of the conversation to Shao Jinhuan.

In the end, Shen Ci and the other person just sat there and watched Bai Ziwei and Shao Jinhuan chatting.

Shen Ci: “…”

Brother Zhang: “…”

So they are used as light bulbs? Two of them are very high wattage.

Bai Ziwei was dry-mouthed after chatting for a long time. He glanced at Shen Ci and said, "Shen Ci, could you please pour me a glass of water?"

The tone was extremely natural, so natural that the other three people in the room were stunned.

After all, Shen Ci grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and was very arrogant. It was his job to be served by others, so who dared to order him around?

Although he felt a little uncomfortable being called, Shen Ci reacted and took an empty cup to the water dispenser to get some freshly boiled water.

Well, even if the person inside the shell has changed, he still has the aura of the protagonist. Shen Ci is just a cannon fodder, just bear with it for the sake of survival.

Brother Zhang's eyes widened when he saw Shen Ci was so obedient and willing to be ordered around. Shao Jinhuan even frowned. Just as he was about to stand up to serve Shen Ci, Bai Ziwei stopped him and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Brother Shao, don't go. I haven't finished yet..."

Ever since Shao Jinhuan tactfully told him not to call him "Brother Huan" last time, Bai Ziwei began to call him "Brother Shao" in various ways, managing to use these two words in a thousand ways to sound euphemistic.

When I turned around again, Shen Ci had already brought over a cup full of steaming water.

Shen Ci carefully tried to put the water on the bedside table, muttering, "It's still hot, drink it later."

"It doesn't matter, I want to drink now!"

Bai Ziwei reached out to take it without a care in the world. Shen Ci didn't even have time to stop him. He watched helplessly as Bai Ziwei's hand knocked over the cup and all the boiling hot water spilled out.

"ah--"

Two screams of pain rang out at the same time, and Brother Zhang and Shao Jin stood up happily.

"Xiaoci!" Brother Zhang called out anxiously and hurried over.

Bai Ziwei shrank back, and the back of his raised hand happened to face outwards, with a small red burn mark on it. He cried and trembled, "It hurts so much! Brother Shao... got burned."

Shen Ci stumbled back a few steps with his hands clasped, and ran into Shao Jinhuan's arms behind him, who held him up. Shen Ci looked up in confusion.

Shao Jinhuan didn't care about Bai Ziwei at all. In the chaos, he saw Shen Ci's eyes were misty, he was gasping for breath but trying hard to hold back tears, and he felt a little distressed.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Ci reacted and immediately broke away from his embrace, crying out to Brother Zhang: "Brother! Help me call a nurse!"

Brother Zhang had already pressed the call bell, and anxiously pulled Shen Ci's hand over to check on the situation. The originally fair and tender skin was now wrinkled, red, and steaming, with a large number of blisters on it, looking miserable and horrible.

Shen Ci was used to being a young master, and had never done any rough work since he was a child. His skin was too delicate, so this was particularly serious.

It hurt so much that Shen Ci couldn't hold back his tears. Tears streamed down his face while he bit his lips without saying a word.

Brother Zhang had always treated Shen Ci as his own child. At this moment, he felt extremely distressed. He hugged the child and patted his head to comfort him.

Shao Jinhuan stood there motionless, an indescribable bitterness surging in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.

"Brother Shao..."

"It hurts, Brother Shao..."

"Brother Shao!"

Shao Jinhuan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Bai Ziwei lying on the hospital bed with a frown.

Bai Ziwei saw Shao Jinhuan finally shift his gaze back from the little cannon fodder, and he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to act coquettishly in a hoarse voice: "My hand really hurts... It's been burned so badly."

Shao Jinhuan silently looked down at the back of Bai Ziwei's outstretched hand, which had only a small red mark on it.

Most of the cup of boiling hot water was poured directly onto Shen Ci's hand, and Bai Ziwei was only splashed with a few drops. There was really no comparison.

"Miss, this child has a burn. Could you please take him to get treated?"

A nurse pushed the door open because of the call bell, and Zhang Ge quickly took Shen Ci and went out with the nurse, while explaining the situation in detail. Shao Jinhuan immediately raised his legs and followed, completely unaware of Bai Ziwei's dumbfounded expression behind him.

What's going on? Her real husband is so indifferent to her and is so concerned about that little cannon fodder? !

What went wrong? Shouldn't these people be completely fascinated by him?

Bai Ziwei took a hateful look at the wet quilt and the back of his hand that no longer hurt, and angrily punched the quilt several times.

The quilt was soaked. It was such a waste of effort!

***

The nurse took Brother Zhang and Shen Ci to the dermatology department. After Brother Zhang thanked the nurse and pushed Shen Ci in, he caught a glimpse of Shao Jinhuan who followed him out of the corner of his eye.

Shao Jinhuan had a worried look on his face. Brother Zhang reached out to stop him from entering the department and said with a fake smile: "Shao, the great actor, is not allowed to enter?"

Shao Jinhuan frowned.

Brother Zhang closed the door of the department and sneered in a low voice: "Don't pretend, I don't believe you didn't see it. Bai Ziwei has been deliberately bullying Xiaoci today. Do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"

"Since you chose Bai Ziwei, don't go back and hurt Xiaoci. You must have heard that I protect my artists the most."

"Take care of your people."

Before Shao Jinhuan could come to his senses, Brother Zhang opened the door and went in after saying something.

Shao Jinhuan stared at the door handle, but ultimately he didn't have the courage to open it.

Although it was clearly within his reach, Shao Jinhuan hesitated for a long time, unable to imagine what attitude he should adopt towards Shen Ci.

As he wished, Shen Ci no longer bothered him and became much more obedient and sensible. He no longer lost his temper or got jealous, and he no longer deliberately bullied Bai Ziwei. How wonderful.

But why do I feel so sad in my heart?

***

The nurse opened a ward for Shen Ci and carefully applied medicine to him. Shen Ci grimaced in pain.

"Ah... Sister, be gentle..."

He hissed in pain, and Brother Zhang responded with a smile, "You screamed so voluptuous that the lady's face turned red! Pay attention to your image."

Shen Ci glared at him, but couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He knew that Brother Zhang was deliberately trying to amuse him and divert his attention. With Brother Zhang by his side, Shen Ci couldn't help but feel more at ease.

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open with great force, and Shen Bie rushed in hurriedly: "Xiao Ci! What happened to your hand?"

The nurse and Shen Ci were both startled by the roar. The nurse scolded him unhappily, "This is a hospital. Please be quiet."

Shen Bie calmed down a little after seeing Shen Ci in person. He walked over and frowned as he looked at Shen Ci's left hand which was tightly wrapped in gauze: "Brother Zhang, what's going on?"

Shen Bie rushed over immediately after receiving the news from Brother Zhang, in such a hurry that he didn't even put on his coat.

Brother Zhang gave Shen Bie a general account of the whole process. The more Shen Bie listened, the angrier he became. Finally, he punched the bed, and again received a cold stare from the nurse.

Seeing his gloomy face, Shen Ci quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother, impulse is the devil!"

Shen Bie glared at Shen Ci and wanted to scold him for not being more careful, but after grinding his teeth for a long time, he still couldn't bear to say it out loud, so he could only touch Shen Ci's hair heavily and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

Shen Ci was not stupid, and he could sense to some extent that Bai Ziwei was deliberately looking for trouble. He himself felt inexplicably compelled to beat someone up for this unexpected disaster, not to mention his elder brother who always had a bad temper.

But——that person not only has the aura of a protagonist, but he is also your younger brother!

However, Shen Bie was so stubborn that even ten cows couldn't pull him back. Shen Ci didn't pay attention and Shen Bie ran towards Bai Ziwei's ward. However, after a few minutes, he came back with his hands in his pockets and a sour face.

Brother Zhang smiled and said, "What happened? Did Shao Jinhuan block you and bring you back?"

Shen Bie snorted coldly: "He is nothing. He has to give way to me when he sees me! Is there something wrong with Bai Ziwei's brain? I was scolding him, but he actually, actually..."

As Shen Bie spoke, his face darkened. After a long while, he finally said, "You're actually being infatuated with me?! That look... I have goosebumps all over my body."

Being a nymphomaniac?

After a moment of stunned silence, Brother Zhang suddenly burst out laughing.

Shen Ci was stunned. Bai Ziwei was infatuated with his own brother in front of Shao Jinhuan? !

This scene was so deadly that Shen Ci felt so embarrassed that his scalp tingled just thinking about it.

Now he was completely sure that Bai Ziwei had definitely changed his mind. Bai Ziwei was gentle and reserved, how could he do such a blatant thing?

"Jingling bells——"

Brother Zhang's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller and directly answered the phone and handed it to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci took the call without knowing what was going on. The familiar voice on the other end of the line said in a deep and powerful voice, "Have you treated your injury? I'll pick you up later."

Shen Ci was stunned. Brother Zhang actually told Lu Xiao as well?

What Lu Xiao did in the original novel slowly emerged in his mind.

He remembered how Lu Xiao could arrange for Bai Ziwei's prop stand to "accidentally" collapse just because he casually complained, "I really want him to disappear", nearly killing him, but afterwards there was no trace of human intervention to be found.

Surrounded by tigers and wolves since childhood, he risked his life to protect his family business alone when he was a teenager and expanded it step by step. Lu Xiao is ruthless and decisive when he attacks. He will attack like a beast and bite the opponent's most fatal part directly.

These were all stories that Shen Ci heard from his mother. Shen Ci had just treated them as jokes. After all, in his impression, Lu Xiao was always gentle and kind. How could he be so cruel?

But now... Shen Ci thought, if Bai Ziwei didn't have the halo of the protagonist in the original novel, he would have been arranged by Lu Xiao to die unnatural deaths long ago.

"No, no, my uncle is probably still very busy at work."

"My brother is right here, he can just take me home."

Shen Ci winked at his elder brother while speaking, and Shen Bie came over with understanding: "Yes, Uncle Lu, otherwise I would have run away from my father in vain, risking being scolded to death."

Shen Ci added: "Oh, by the way, please don't make any claims about my injury, I'll call you when I get home."

He was very worried that Lu Xiao would once again become the villain boss with a tough protagonist halo.

***

"I'll do as you say. Be good, I'll hang up now."

Lu Xiao hung up Shen Ci's phone call and stared silently at the busy traffic outside the floor-to-ceiling window with cold and sharp eyes.

The entire president's office was eerily silent. The special assistant was so overwhelmed by the cold and heavy aura of the person in power that he dared not even breathe, and his back was almost soaked with sweat.

"Re-check Bai Ziwei."

Lu Xiao said calmly without even turning his head.
