Chapter 20: Weak Body

At this moment, several people in the villa were awkwardly chatting in the living room.

Bai Ruoruo was racking her brain to win over Cheng Lin and Fu Li.

Gu Chuan, however, seemed like an outsider, sitting on a single sofa with his eyes closed, resting. Suddenly, his phone dinged. He took it out and saw an image of a Ferris wheel and a carousel. His lips slowly curved into a smile, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing on his handsome face.

Suddenly, a scream echoed, “Oh my God, Actor Shen is in the hospital!”

The show had a rule that guests who didn’t go on a date couldn’t watch the live broadcast of Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan, but news of Shen Mingxuan fainting at the amusement park and being rushed to the hospital had already made it to the trending topics—anyone who went online could see it.

“Didn’t Brother Mingxuan go on a date with Mimi? What did Mimi do for Brother Mingxuan to suddenly end up in the hospital?” Bai Ruoruo, though worried, still sneakily implied that Jiang Mi was responsible for Shen Mingxuan’s hospitalization.

Lu Yu wouldn’t stand for this, glaring with her big round eyes. “What are you trying to imply about Mimi?”

Bai Ruoruo’s face showed a hint of grievance. “I’m not implying anything; I’m just worried about Brother Mingxuan.”

Lu Yu had been holding it in all day, listening to Bai Ruoruo repeatedly bringing up Jiang Mi’s past, slipping in bad remarks here and there. Lu Yu finally couldn’t take it anymore.

“If you’re not implying anything, then stop mentioning her name.”

Bai Ruoruo’s eyes reddened as she spoke in a pitiful voice, “But I really didn’t mean anything.”

Cheng Lin, who was confused, tried to mediate, not understanding how a conversation about the big gossip of Shen Mingxuan’s hospitalization had turned into a fight. He coughed and tried to smooth things over.

“Let’s stop arguing. Since Actor Shen is in the hospital, we should visit him, right?”

Bai Ruoruo, with teary eyes, looked at Cheng Lin pitifully.

Cheng Lin’s heart softened immediately, and he quickly pulled out a tissue to help her wipe her tears.

“Thank you, Brother Cheng Lin.” Bai Ruoruo’s voice was soft as she thanked him, casting a sidelong glance at Lu Yu with hidden pride.

Lu Yu clenched her fists in frustration. Ugh, Cheng Lin, you fool!

Cheng Lin, suddenly snapping out of it, was surprised as he realized he had let Bai Ruoruo lean against him. He quickly pushed her away.

Bai Ruoruo stumbled from the push, looking pitifully at Cheng Lin. “Brother Cheng Lin?”

Cheng Lin, feeling disoriented, instinctively reached out to pull her back, but at that moment, a deep, magnetic voice interrupted.

“Hospital.”

“Oh right, yes, let’s go to the hospital to see the patient.”

Cheng Lin, snapping back to reality, hurried after the others, still puzzled by his earlier actions. How had he ended up almost hugging Bai Ruoruo without meaning to?

Bai Ruoruo stared at Cheng Lin’s back, her eyes darkening.

Not long after.

In a luxurious hospital room.

Shen Mingxuan lay unconscious on the hospital bed, surrounded by people.

Bai Ruoruo cried out, “Wasn’t Brother Mingxuan on a date with Mimi? How did he end up unconscious?”

【It’s all that b**** Jiang Mi’s fault!】

【If she can’t have him, she’ll destroy him. Jiang Mi, you crazy woman, stay away from my brother!】

【Only someone as pure and kind as Ruoruo deserves him. Jiang Mi is too evil!】

Suddenly, all eyes turned to Jiang Mi. Gu Chuan’s dark eyes glanced at her, seeming to hold a certain light.

Jiang Mi noticed and tilted her head slightly, giving him a playful wink.

The light in his eyes dimmed, and his black eyes curved slightly.

Jiang Mi’s smile deepened, but when she turned to Bai Ruoruo, her smile turned cold.

She tilted her head and smiled slightly at Bai Ruoruo.

Bai Ruoruo’s heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling rising within her. But she quickly calmed herself down.

What was there to fear?

Jiang Mi had caused Shen Mingxuan’s hospitalization.

No matter the reason, Jiang Mi couldn’t escape responsibility!

Thinking this, Bai Ruoruo’s eyes shone with excitement, imagining the scene of Jiang Mi being scolded and blamed by everyone.

“Mimi, what were you and Brother Mingxuan doing? How did he end up like this?”

Jiang Mi bit her lip, her expression confused and innocent. “We just played some regular rides at the amusement park. I don’t know why Actor Shen suddenly passed out.”

Hearing Jiang Mi’s excuse, Bai Ruoruo, becoming agitated, raised her voice, “You two were out on a date. You must have done something to make Shen Mingxuan faint!”

“What could she have done?” A deep, rich male voice sounded, carrying an imposing pressure. “What could a girl do to a man?”

“I’m just worried about Brother Mingxuan because he’s unconscious.” Bai Ruoruo took two steps back, her eyes red as she looked at Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan’s tone was cold, “That’s no excuse for malicious speculation.”

Bai Ruoruo bit her lip, her eyes flashing with reluctance and confusion.

Jiang Mi had always treated Gu Chuan poorly under Bai Ruoruo’s instigation, treating him like a servant to boss around and humiliate.

Jiang Mi had been so mean to him, so why was Gu Chuan still defending her at every turn? Was he a masochist?

【Ahhh, Gu Chuan is the first to stand up for Mimi!】

【There are plenty of things a woman can do to a man. It’s not a big deal to wear him out, hehe.】

【I suspect you’re being suggestive, and I have evidence.】

【Does no one else think Gu Chuan’s question was full of jealousy? Haha.】

【From someone who watched the whole amusement park livestream, let me say: Jiang Mi played the rides, Actor Shen followed her, and then he got worn out.】

Jiang Mi glanced at the man’s stern profile and lightly licked her lips.

Actually, there were many things a woman could do to a man.

For example, forcefully hugging, forcefully kissing, forcefully…

Bai Ruoruo, pressured by Gu Chuan, had no choice but to apologize, quickly making an excuse for herself.

“Mimi, I’m not doubting you, I’m just really worried about Brother Mingxuan.”

“He’s not hurt,” Jiang Mi replied calmly.

“If he’s not hurt, why is he unconscious, lying in a hospital bed?”

“Oh, that,” Jiang Mi dragged out her words, her eyes sparkling, and her smile dazzling, “Maybe it’s because Actor Shen is a bit… weak~”

At that exact moment, Shen Mingxuan, who had just woken up, heard Jiang Mi say, “Actor Shen is a bit weak.”

Weak.

Weak, weak, weak.

Saying a man is weak is like saying he’s not capable!

In an instant, veins popped out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth.

“Jiang Mi!”

Jiang Mi glanced at the “frail” figure lying on the hospital bed and added the word she hadn’t finished saying, “Weak~”

【Laughing so hard, turns out Actor Shen is so weak~~~】

【Haha, Shen Mingxuan fans, you know what to give your brother for support now—herbal tonics.】

【Fans reflect their idols. Jiang Mi harmed Shen Mingxuan without remorse, and her fans are following suit, attacking Shen Mingxuan personally. It’s disgusting!】

【Shen Mingxuan fans, stop lying. The amusement park was livestreamed the whole time. Jiang Mi was just playing around and didn’t do anything to Shen Mingxuan.】

【Yeah, the livestream shows that Jiang Mi was just enjoying herself and did nothing. It’s just that Actor Shen is too weak.】

【Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak.】
