Chapter 77 - 77: Get Out!
Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair, so he had nowhere to hide.
He steadily caught the girl who fell into his arms.
The girl in his arms leaned on his shoulder gently while emitting a cold fragrance.
He subconsciously reached out to hold her waist.
Her soft waist seemed like it would break if he were to tighten his grip. He didn’t dare to use too much force, but he still held her firmly. The others were so shocked that they forgot to react for a moment.
The comment section also exploded.
[What’s going on?]
[Lin Shanchu can’t dance, so she wants to blackmail Mr. Huo! Is that it?]
[I’ve really opened my eyes. This is the first time I’ve seen such a trashy woman.]
Lin Shanchu pretended to fall into Huo Xunzhou’s arms to try the effect of making intimate contact with him.
Hence, she wanted to get up immediately. She even prepared an excuse in advance.
However…
Her waist was firmly held by Huo Xunzhou, so she couldn’t get up at the moment.
Huo Xunzhou turned his head slightly and whispered into her ear, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Lin Shanchu’s physical condition had always been bad.
He had seen her suffering from her illness and faint before.
Therefore, it was natural for him to think that Lin Shanchu was sick again.
He didn’t think that Lin Shanchu was faking it.
Huo Xunzhou’s tone was upright and honest with a hint of concern.
However, his deliberately lowered voice was very pleasant to listen to.
It was like a demon’s whisper, confusing people without them knowing.
Lin Shanchu’s eardrums went numb.
Her body, which was originally trying to support itself, instantly lost all its strength. In the end, she fell back onto Huo Xunzhou.
She muttered weakly, “It hurts…”
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
After a brief moment of shock, the others finally reacted.
“Lin Shanchu?”
“Lin Shanchu, what’s wrong with you?”
“Big Sister, are you okay?”
Ning Yunxi squeezed to the front anxiously and tried to check on Lin Shanchu’s condition.
Li MO saw Huo Xunzhou’s serious expression and whispered, “Big Brother, should I take Ms. Lin to the doctor?”
It was a pity that Big Brother still had to sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be disabled.
Otherwise, he could play the role of a hero and bridal-carry Lin Shanchu to safety.
Huo Xunzhou ignored Li Mo. Instead, he turned to look at Ning Yunxi. “Take her to the infirmary.”
The dancers tended to be stronger. Ning Yunxi and another girl worked together to carry Lin Shanchu to the infirmary easily.
The comments started filling the screen.
[Some people should be kinder to others. Lin Shanchu only fainted because she wasn’t feeling well.]
[That’s right. Most of the people watching the show are girls. Why do you have to be so malicious?]
[Tch! Who knows if she’s faking it or not?]
[Why would she fake her illness in front of Mr. Huo, the greatest actor ever, and during the livestream? Are you dumb?]
[Or maybe she’s pretending to be sick just to avoid practicing “Death of the
Universe”.]
[Lin Shanchu is too thin. She’s so pale that she doesn’t look healthy at all…] There were doctors on duty 24 hours a day in the infirmary.
As soon as Lin Shanchu was sent to the infirmary, Huo Xunzhou asked the doctor to do a check-up on her.
Check-up?
There were only simple equipment in the infirmary, but the doctor was still very professional. He would definitely be able to detect the abnormality in her body.
The fact that she was terminally ill must not be spread.
If this news were to be spread to Lu Shiyuan, he would have a reason to make her withdraw from the show.
The moment she thought of this, Lin Shanchu slowly opened her eyes.
“…Yunxi.”
“Big Sister, you’re awake!” Ning Yunxi turned around immediately.
“Did you guys bring me here?” Ning Yunxi helped Lin Shanchu up.
Ning Yunxi explained, “You suddenly fainted, so Mr. Huo asked us to bring you to the infirmary. How are you feeling now? ”
Lin Shanchu smiled slightly. “Thank you. I’m feeling much better now. You guys should go back and practice.”
Ning Yun wasn’t reassured at all. She kept looking back at Lin Shanchu once every few steps, but she still left in the end.
The doctor briefly asked about Lin Shanchu’s condition. Then, he prescribed her some medicine and left.
Huo Xunzhou did not say a word throughout the entire process.
Li MO was very perceptive.
Once the doctor left, he closed the door.
“Ms. Lin, although your performance is very important, you still have to take care of your health. After all…
“Someone will be worried,” Li MO said as he stole a glance at Huo Xunzhou.
Lin Shanchu followed his gaze and looked at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou sat quietly in his wheelchair. His eyes were like the distant mountains under the night sky, deep and hard to read.
“I’m very sorry… for what happened just now.” Lin Shanchu almost did not dare to look him in the eye.
She was ashamed.
Huo Xunzhou was such a smart person.
If he had paid more attention, he would have realized that she had actually faked her fall.
Yet, his first reaction was to show concern for her health.
He actually trusted her so much.
However, she…
She actually listened to the system and tried to date him in exchange for health points.
She used the feelings of someone who trusted her to achieve her goal.
She was indeed despicable.
Li MO felt that the atmosphere was off.
He looked at Lin Shanchu, then at Huo Xunzhou.
Why was Big Brother not saying anything?
There wasn’t any need for him to be that petty, right?
Ms. Lin didn’t fall onto him on purpose, after all.
As a considerate little brother, Li MO decided to take the initiative to help his big brother.
“Ms. Lin, don’t take this petty matter to heart. You didn’t do it on purpose…”
“Get out!”
Huo Xunzhou suddenly spoke, sounding unusually sharp. It was filled with a burst of anger that was about to erupt.
Li MO was so scared that he quivered.
He could not remember the last time Huo Xunzhou got that angry.
However, he always remembered that he could not afford to offend an angry Huo Xunzhou.
“All right,” he relented.
Li MO quickly fled the scene.
However, he didn’t go far. Instead, he stood guard at the door.
In the room.
Lin Shanchu looked at the tightly shut door as she cried regretful tears on the inside.
She should have escaped with Li MO just now.
Huo Xunzhou’s expression was terrifying.
He must have found out that she had faked the fall to lie to him.
As a perfect character in the spotlight, he probably wouldn’t hit a woman unlike Lu Shiyuan the jerk, right?
“Lin Shanchu, don’t you have anything to say to me?” Huo Xunzhou’s words pulled her back to reality.
His tone was cold and indifferent.
Compared to Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu felt that she was a coward.
She was not afraid of Lu Shiyuan, but when she was facing Huo Xunzhou, she could not do anything.
NO!
As the female lead, she couldn’t admit defeat!
“That’s right! I did fake that fall! I fell on you on purpose!”
In order to show off her aura, Lin Shanchu deliberately raised her chin and raised her voice.
However, the sudden increase in her countenance still revealed her guilty conscience.
Huo Xunzhou looked at her. He was stunned for three whole seconds before he lowered his head.
He had one hand pressed on his lips. His expression couldn’t be seen at all. Lin Shanchu was able to see his chest that was slightly quivering.
She was perplexed.
Shouldn’t he fling the door and leave out of anger after scolding her for being a scheming, evil woman?
What was Huo Xunzhou doing?
Lin Shanchu carefully probed, “Are… Are you all right?”
“I’m fine… Ahem!” Huo Xunzhou had yet to look up. He even started coughing.
Lin Shanchu felt more and more puzzled.
She got out of bed before approaching Huo Xunzhou.
Then, she crouched down and raised her head.
The first thing she saw was the man’s handsome face, which had gone red from trying to hold back his laughter to the point that he started coughing..
