Chi Ye swept over the various entries that had almost dominated the hot search list, as well as the 【hot】 pop-up windows popping up on software like Douyin, Kuaishou, and Today’s Headlines, and immediately realized in his heart that this time things had gotten big; one of the Four Little Ones, Shi Jinwei, had indeed had an “accident”.
He was very shocked, but quickly came back to his senses, frowning: “What happened to her? Is she okay?”
“How come while recording a program, she suddenly… suddenly fainted?”
“Her physical fitness is very good.”
Chi Ye thought of Sister Qianzi’s half-smiling gaze at the hotel in Taiwan, and at the 《big shot》 premiere ceremony, that “aloof” little face that only nodded to him from afar.
He felt a bit irritable and worried subconsciously—is Sister Qianzi considered his friend?
“…I’m checking, Chi Ge, don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried… since it hasn’t exploded too much, she should be fine… ask about it.”
Keke: “…”
She took her mobile phone and walked outside, and after another ten minutes, she came back in with a complicated expression: “Found out, she’s indeed hospitalized now.”
Chi Ye raised an eyebrow: “How did it happen? Did she eat something bad?”
“Couldn’t reach her assistant by phone, I asked around through a few other friends in the circle… and asked Mango TV, um… it’s a bit complicated, should we go see her first?”
Chi Ye was stunned, realizing the situation was probably worse than he thought; he looked down at Teacher Shi’s “Manchu Han Imperial Feast”, had Xiao Liu bring it, and then asked: “She’s hospitalized in the capital city?”
“Yeah, not far from us.”
Keke nodded.
“Then let’s go.”
Chi Ye said no more, simply pushed two afternoon announcements, and headed to a well-known private hospital with the team members.
…
Meanwhile.
At the recording site of a certain program, a pure and pretty-looking girl was holding the phone, anxiously explaining to the person on the other end: “I really just wanted to teach her a lesson… I didn’t expect her body to be so weak, she just… fainted… baby, I really didn’t mean to.”
“Stupid! Utterly foolish!! Do you think she won’t investigate this? You want to go in?!”
On the other end of the phone, a man’s voice rang out angrily: “I’ve told you long ago, don’t rush, the company has already started promoting you, with me around, are you afraid of no resources? Why compete with her?”
The girl lowered her head, pear blossom with rain: “I… I just can’t stand her arrogant attitude… What level has she developed to these years? Jin Xia has already surpassed her, I… she treats me with nose not nose, face not face… also, are you still not over her? I’m just angry!”
“…Pig brain! My dad’s company still needs her to make money, you messing with her like this, isn’t that messing with our family?!”
The person on the other end didn’t directly answer the question of whether he was over her, just cursed in extreme exasperation: “Get ready… apologize, and withdraw from this variety show too…”
“Apologize for what? What did I do wrong? It’s her own food issue, what does it have to do with me? Who knew she was so fragile, allergic just like that.”
The girl exploded upon hearing she had to apologize to Shi Jinwei; she glanced around and lowered her voice: “Besides… this really wasn’t me, otherwise how would I still dare stay here? I did have the idea, but… didn’t get to do it.”
The man was stunned, suspicious: “Really not you?”
“No.” The girl was anxious: “That… everyone around her knows she has this issue, the program team people, other guests all know… I heard Zhang Guowen is very interested in her, and she likes to act so superior, would Zhang Guowen indulge her?”
“You mean… this was done by Zhang Guowen?!”
The man was shocked.
“Just an example, who knows who it is, she offends so many people usually…”
The girl pleaded: “I really need this resource, baby… help me, okay.”
“…As long as it wasn’t you, we’re fine, it won’t trace back to us.”
The man calmed down, paused, then reminded: “But you should keep a low profile lately, try not to interact with her on the program.”
“Okay, got it.” The girl smiled, blinked her eyes: “By the way, I heard Chi Ye…”
…
Hospital, gastroenterology department, inpatient area.
Chi Ye “fully armed”, glanced at the quiet ward corridor, then at the department, muttering: “This is food poisoning?”
“…Chi Ge, shall we go in?”
Keke looked not far away.
On the aisle outside a certain ward’s room door, quite a few people were standing, probably Shi Jinwei’s team and company people.
“Let’s go, Sister Shang just told me she left.”
Keke was stunned, nodded: “Okay.”
The two walked toward the ward.
The people over there immediately noticed the two’s “unusualness”, each one tensing up and standing, with two security guards blocking in front: “Sorry, this is…”
Before the words finished, Chi Ye had already removed his mask.
The security guards were dumbfounded.
“You’re…”
The surrounding people all opened their mouths wide.
“Chi Ge?!”
Shi Jinwei’s little assistant saw Chi Ye, startled, then signaled the security and other staff to make way, walked up to Chi Ye: “Chi Ge, you came.”
“Yeah.”
Chi Ye nodded, noticing the usually lively little assistant had slightly red and swollen eyes, wanted to ask but felt the occasion wasn’t right: “Still alive? Can I go in to see?”
Little assistant: “…Follow me.”
She turned, suddenly thought of something, turned back and said seriously to the others: “Everyone pretend you saw nothing… keep your mouths shut.”
Everyone: “…”
Chi Ye: “…No need.”
“Chi Ge, this is for your own good.”
The little assistant said with low emotions, then led Chi Ye and Keke to push open the door and enter the ward.
Sister Qianzi was in a VIP single room, the environment in the ward was pretty good, but at the moment it was eerily silent.
Chi Ye poked his head in and saw a graceful figure lying on the hospital bed; that familiar little face was half wrapped in gauze, but through the gauze, it still couldn’t hide the brilliance and beauty of those sapphire blue eyes.
She was listlessly trying to sit up and move, when suddenly she met Chi Ye’s gaze.
Sister Qianzi: “？!”
Chi Ye tilted his head, amazed: “Role playing?”
“You… how did you come?”
But Shi Jinwei didn’t notice Chi Ye’s teasing to ease the atmosphere; she panicked and after saying that, subconsciously covered her face: “Get out! Get out quick!”
Chi Ye was stunned.
“I told you to get out!!”
The usually tough-mouthed Sister Qianzi now had a bit of a crying tone in her voice.
Chi Ye: “…”
He paused for two seconds, then turned and walked out.
“Chi…”
The little assistant opened her mouth.
“It’s fine, this time she’s not just being tough-mouthed, she really doesn’t want me to see her like this.”
Chi Ye spoke bluntly.
Little assistant: “…”
The few walked to the outer room, the little assistant closed the door well, Chi Ye then signaled Keke to sit, and looked at the little assistant: “Can… you tell me?”
The little assistant was silent for two seconds, then said: “…Sister Shi was harmed.”
Chi Ye blinked: “Secretly drugged?”
“…No, it’s an allergy.”
Chi Ye puzzled: “Shouldn’t allergy go to dermatology and allergy department? Why… hospitalized in gastroenterology?”
The little assistant silent another two seconds, then dully said: “Sister Shi was afraid of other things, insisted on gastric lavage…”
Chi Ye fell silent.
Keke surprised: “Uh… other things?”
The little assistant thought, weighed the relationship between Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei, then said: “Sister Shi before… before she got famous and just got famous, was ‘schemed’ against a few times; each time after drinking she realized something was wrong, she came for gastric lavage… later she had experience, could smell it.”
Keke also fell silent.
Shi Jinwei was indeed different from other top little flowers; Jin Xia no one dared to ‘covet’, Sheng Ning had long experienced all kinds of dirty tricks, didn’t know how much grievance she suffered, now barely bitter end sweet beginning.
Sister Shang herself was very smart, plus the company small, doted on her very much, and she never forced herself… bluntly put, if I can’t do it I’ll just slack off, no one think of making me suffer!
Only Shi Jinwei was currently in the “awkward period”, she had no background no connections, purely by luck and grit got to today, the company not worse than Yuena’s internal entertainment top big company Taiyang Entertainment.
So, her resources had always been the most grueling among the Four Little Ones, and the work environment she was usually in was also “very poor”.
She… now should be equal to Sheng Ning a few years ago, but Sheng Ning had enough ability, means, luck, to become capital in the drama circle, can she?
“Who? So vicious.”
Chi Ye touched the insulated bucket, found the dishes inside had cooled a bit.
“…Don’t know.”
Chi Ye looked at her: “Don’t know or dare not say?”
Little assistant: “This time really don’t know, Sister Shi usually… offends people quite a bit.”
“Then I believe it.”
Chi Ye nodded without hesitation, then stood up: “Let’s go, I’ll go see her again, then I have to head back.”
The little assistant was stunned, hurriedly stood up.
Chi Ye had already re-entered the ward.
Sister Qianzi, who had been facing away from the door looking out the window since discovering Chi Ye, was tense all over, probed: “Who?”
“What who, playing spy war here?”
Chi Ye was speechless: “Want me to give you a secret signal?”
Sister Qianzi stunned, gnashing teeth: “…Why haven’t you left yet?!”
“I’m leaving, right away.”
Chi Ye said, put down the insulated bucket in his hand; Sister Qianzi’s gaze secretly glanced over, immediately heartbeat sped up, indescribable feeling in her heart, but her tone inexplicably softened a bit: “You…”
“But I came to see you without eating this meal, now it’s almost cool, you have microwave and hot water here right? I’ll eat then leave, otherwise have to reheat when back.”
Chi Ye had already seen the microwave, walked over and threw the brought dishes all in.
Shi Jinwei: “…”
Bastard, you die!!
Ten minutes later.
In front of Sister Qianzi, Chi Ye “slurped” and wolfed down Teacher Shi’s dishes—eating more and more fragrantly, because he discovered this Teacher Shi’s taste surprisingly matched his, even the after-meal dessert was there, his favorite blueberry and small lime.
Shi Jinwei originally thought Chi Ye was teasing her again, but seeing Chi Ye really gorging in front of her, instantly a bit baffled.
Mainly hearing the wolfing sounds by her ear, smelling the aroma of the dishes at her nose tip—Teacher Shi’s cooking skills really good, too fragrant.
Her already weak body, stomach couldn’t help “gurgle” rumbling.
She was hungry too.
“Hm?”
Chi Ye paused, looked up: “Hungry?”
Shi Jinwei expressionless: “Not hungry at all.”
“Oh.”
Chi Ye nodded, thought, suggested: “Don’t be stubborn, if hungry order takeout, healthy.”
Shi Jinwei laughed speechlessly: “Haha.”
“So happy?”
Chi Ye put away chopsticks, satisfied stood up: “Happy is good, happy then I’m heading back first.”
“…Chi Ye, you’re not human.”
Chi Ye: “?”
“You leave.”
Shi Jinwei face cold: “Don’t let me see you again.”
Chi Ye looked her over a few times, didn’t mind: “Then rest well… take care of your body, bye.”
“…”
Shi Jinwei didn’t reply, just turned sideways to Chi Ye’s back, eyes secretly glancing at his back.
Then… then Chi Ye really left.
“…Ha, ha.”
Shi Jinwei even “happier”, happy to the point of wanting to cry; she wasn’t this aggrieved when sent to hospital, but now just felt very upset: “Chi Ye… you’re not human, you have no heart at all… I’m like this and you still treat me this way…”
Click.
The room door was pushed open by the little assistant, who poked her head in: “Sister Shi, mealtime.”
Shi Jinwei instantly composed, face cold: “Not hungry, not eating.”
“Ah?” Little assistant stunned, hesitating looking at the bag in her hand: “This… Chi Ge bought it already, waste not to eat.”
“？!”
Shi Jinwei turned her eyes, looked back: “Chi Ye bought it?”
“…Seems like specially asked master to make, made before coming, said you just had gastric lavage, stomach not good, stomach-nourishing.”
Little assistant probed: “Then… give to others?”
“…Give away.”
Shi Jinwei nodded.
Little assistant stood still.
Shi Jinwei surprised: “Why not moving?”
Little assistant silent two seconds, then mumbled: “I want to eat, and I don’t want others to eat it.”
Shi Jinwei realized: “Ah, you… sigh, fine, since you want to eat, sis of course dotes on you.”
“…Sis you’re so good to me sis.”
“Of course, you’re my cousin after all.”
“…”
…
Outside the hospital.
Chi Ye got in the car: “Sigh, this Sister Qianzi… say about her, her body too unreliable.”
Keke: “…Bro why not go up and say.”
“Nah, afraid of stimulating her crazy.”
Chi Ye thought, asked again: “This 《Unexpected Journey》, isn’t it Mango’s new variety show?”
“Yeah, the variety show Teacher Shi is negotiating for residency… but news from there, residency no problem, but want you to guest one episode.”
Chi Ye nodded: “Yes, promised Teacher He.”
“Then we…”
“Check my announcements, go one… hey, this travel show has overseas parts right?”
Keke nodded: “Yes, United States and Europe both.”
“Pick one in the United States, just right to meet that sci-fi film team.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange.”
Keke nodded, the car sped away.
…
《Unexpected Journey》 program team.
“Chi Ye agreed?! Great great great! We’ll prepare well, thanks so much Old He, thank you, will treat you to dinner for sure… treat you to a year’s meals!”
The chief director excitedly hung up the phone, turned to the others looking at him eagerly, confirmed: “Chi Ye agreed to come as a flying guest for one episode.”
“…”
“Awesome!”
“Wow, Professor Chi coming, oh god, can I get an autograph?”
“Zhao Tai won’t do anything to me on site right… so excited.”
“Director your connections too strong!”
