"Well, the patient's body is fine."
The doctor rushed to the emergency room in the middle of the night, but looking at a series of healthy test results, he couldn't tell that this was a patient who needed emergency care.
The ambulance sped along, performing a series of examinations on Gu Xinglan.
Nothing happened?
"Doctor, please take another look. Is there anything you've missed?" Pei Xiao said, frowning as she wore a mask.
"The patient is indeed very healthy, even better than normal people."
"?" Pei Xiao pulled down her mask and snatched the examination form from the doctor's hand.
The text on it was densely packed with words that I couldn't understand.
"Fine, come here now."
Pei Xiao opened the door and entered the ward, only to see Gu Xinglan lying on the bed, eating a banana, looking incredibly lazy.
"...Do you want to eat?" Under the two pairs of undisguised gazes, Gu Xinglan paused in her banana-eating motion.
There were no injuries on the hands that were peeling the bananas; the backs of both hands were excessively smooth, delicate, and fair.
"Where's the injury on your hand?!"
Pei Xiao's pupils contracted slightly. He strode to the bedside, took Gu Xinglan's hand, and examined her from head to toe.
"Are you drunk? There's no injury on my hand." Gu Xinglan raised her eyes in confusion.
Pei Xiao was so angry she laughed.
"Who said you're just a pretty face? Your acting is pretty good, isn't it?" After saying that, Pei Xiao smiled insincerely and directly grabbed Gu Xinglan's ear. The pull was very tricky and the force was quite strong, causing Gu Xinglan to cry out in pain twice.
The probability of encountering a genius or a prodigy while working overtime late at night is indeed high.
The doctor left, closed the door, and suddenly it was quiet again.
"You insisted on sending me here, what could I do?" Gu Xinglan rubbed her ears.
"Pack."
Pei Xiao swiped through her phone screen and tossed it onto the hospital bed. "Look," she said, "the paparazzi photos."
In the secretly taken photos, a frail-looking person is lying in Pei Xiao's arms. The two are about the same size, but the bruises on the back of his hand are clearly visible in the photos.
Gu Xinglan scrolled down further, and the next section was filled with posts from fans.
[It's almost the end of the month, time to meet KPIs again? (I was so focused on making noodles I forgot to make you.jpg)]
[Stop trying to piggyback on his fame, and stop involving Pei Xiao. Hurry and check out the handsome guy's new drama (fully edited theater photos)]
[All I know is that my brother won twenty-six individual awards (starry-eyed)]
[Stop using Pei Xiao as a target of criticism. She just left that lousy company and now she's being slandered (Tianxing Media building explosion.jpg)]
[These unscrupulous paparazzi have no sense of public morality, posting ordinary people's photos online without permission. Good for them, brother, helping to save lives (heart) (heart)]
When you exit the comment section, the software automatically refreshes, and the first tweet that appears is Pei Xiao's Weibo post:
[Good deed, please call 120 (emergency services). May the world have more trust. (Selfie wearing a mask against a white wall)]
The top-rated comment below reads: [Brother, stay away from performative, dog-like behavior. Goodnight.]
Tianxing Media is Meng Guanhe's company, and Gu Xinglan is watching with great interest.
The subject of these comments is standing right in front of him at this very moment.
Pei Xiao had no intention of taking back her phone. She sat by the hospital bed and peeled a banana to eat.
"Will anyone come to ambush you tomorrow?" Gu Xinglan asked.
"What do you say?"
Pei Xiao stretched, took off her coat, put on her hospital gown neatly, and then went to the door to lock the doors and windows.
"You'd better change your clothes too. There's nothing those people aren't capable of."
After finishing everything, he turned to look at Gu Xinglan.
"I can't leave tonight, I can only wait until tomorrow when there are the most people to leave."
His car had been thoroughly searched by that group of strange people, so there was no need to call the driver to come over.
"Where will you sleep tonight?" Gu Xinglan had already lay down on the single hospital bed, using body language to indicate that he was going to sleep in this bed.
But Pei Xiao simply lifted the covers and squeezed in, saying, "The bed is big enough for two people to sleep in."
When the lights are off.
The two of them, back to back, couldn't fall asleep.
The air conditioner remote is in the cabinet, but nobody wants to touch it.
"Are you hot?" Pei Xiao asked softly with her eyes closed.
No one answered.
But the person next to me was clearly breathing erratically. He sat up abruptly, moving the blanket to the side.
Gu Xinglan's body was covered up completely, and she immediately felt hot, with sweat beading on her forehead.
It's hard not to say that this person did it on purpose.
He turned over and just as he lifted the covers, out of the corner of his eye, he met Pei Xiao's predictable gaze.
"Why didn't you answer me if you weren't asleep?"
"I was just about to sleep," Gu Xinglan said, blinking slowly.
The ward was very quiet; you could hear even the slightest breathing. If you listened carefully, you could also hear the footsteps of nurses patrolling outside the corridor with flashlights.
Pei Xiao cleared her throat and spoke to Gu Xinglan in a breathy voice, as if she were telling a secret.
Why did the injury on your hand heal so quickly?
As expected, Gu Xinglan placed her hands in front of her abdomen and replied in a breathy voice, "I have superpowers."
"..." Pei Xiao's smile faded.
"I'm asking you seriously."
"Yes, I'm listening," Gu Xinglan replied in a very patient voice.
Pei Xiao has feminine features despite being a boy. When her bangs fall down, they slightly cover her well-defined eyebrows and eyes, revealing only the delicate lower half of her face. Without close inspection, one might mistake her for an ethereal fairy.
This probably explains why the other person, who is clearly an actor, has become a popular celebrity; good looks are key.
"It's a shame you're not in the entertainment industry," Pei Xiao said.
As he looked at the other person, the other person was also sizing him up.
Gu Xinglan's thoughts were interrupted, and she withdrew her probing gaze. "There's nothing to regret or not regret."
“Really…” Pei Xiao lay down on her side, looking at the profile of the stranger beside her. “You really have changed.”
Were we close before?
These words were a provocation to Pei Xiao.
But Gu Xinglan genuinely asked this question.
Were the original owner and Pei Xiao very close? How could Pei Xiao notice that the person had changed, even though the original owner's friends didn't?
"I have a good eye for people."
Pei Xiao thought about how he became the male lead right after his debut, because he had a pretty face but also had the ability to express himself in a way that wasn't superficial.
He chose his own people and immediately took a liking to Meng Guanhe. It was obvious that Meng Guanhe also had the ability to judge people. Their relationship was based on mutual benefit, not a relationship of being kept or being kept. That's why he was able to become the second-in-command of Tianxing.
He personally selects scripts, choosing good scripts, normal investors, normal directors, normal production teams, and normal casts. With perfect timing, location, and people, plus effective publicity, how could he not become famous?
Now he thinks Gu Xinglan is a pretty good person.
With that face and figure, she could make a fortune as a print model.
As her thoughts wandered, drowsiness gradually crept into her eyelids, and Pei Xiao turned her back to sleep.
If Gu Xinglan agrees to come to his company, he will not pursue the benefits that Gu Xinglan asked him for before...
-
System: [Host, how's it going? Have you fully adapted to the cheat?]
A warm current slowly circulated throughout his body, and he was now full of energy, with no desire to sleep at all.
"System, set an alarm for 4 a.m., I need to leave early."
