Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 741 - 742: Really a Birth Mother
It’s uncertain when He Jinxia will recover from the car accident, which may well be her last work for some time. Now that she’s been so pitiable after the accident, we must certainly give her more support!
——This was a common sentiment among netizens.
Consequently, on the day "Strongest Female Trainee" premiered, its ratings burst through two percent, rocketing it to the number one spot in its time slot!
Although the ratings plummeted uncontrollably like a rushing river after He Jinxia’s appearance, it managed to cling to the second place, while Shengshi Entertainment’s similar show "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" was only ranked fifth.
Just based on the ratings alone, Tonghua Entertainment secured a resounding victory today, recovering their entire investment in the show!
Amidst the turbulence stirred up in Huaxia by He Jinxia, she was completely oblivious, having already arrived in the M country. Under clandestine arrangements, she had come to the hospital where Sheng Yan was staying.
The hospital he was at is one of the best for comprehensive medical care in the entire M country, with top-notch privacy. It’s dedicated to serving the M country’s elite, and all the doctors and nurses there had undergone strict professional training and were tight-lipped.
On Sheng Yan’s side, wanting to keep the accident under wraps, he had the director seal off the news.
Rogels couldn’t have asked for anything more. The film wasn’t finished yet, and this incident in the crew was a blow to the movie.
As a mega superstar with a huge fanbase, Sheng Yan feared if his fans learned that he had been injured during filming, they would organize a boycott of the movie, which would be terrible news!
He Jinxia and Mrs. He arrived at the hospital where Aunt Rui met them at the entrance and took them to Sheng Yan’s ward.
Without much thought, He Jinxia promptly pushed the door open and stepped inside. Mrs. He was about to follow but was held back by Aunt Rui.
Aunt Rui shook her head at her and whispered, "Let them see each other first, we’d better stay out of the way for now."
Mrs. He thought it over and agreed, so she stayed in the corridor and quietly discussed recent events with Aunt Rui.
Inside the ward, He Jinxia instinctively lightened her steps and immediately saw Sheng Yan lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Her gaze lingered on his leg cast, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes again.
He Jinxia tiptoed over, silent as a whisper, her hand gently resting on the cast.
Sheng Yan, as if sensing something, opened his eyes immediately.
On seeing He Jinxia, his eyes widened slightly and he relaxed, greeting her with a smile, "You’re here."
He Jinxia didn’t notice his beaming smile; instead, she focused on his leg and asked, "How’s your leg, is it broken?"
Sheng Yan’s expression paused, then he said, "Can we not use the word ’broken’? It’s just a minor flesh wound. The bone isn’t even fractured, let alone broken."
He Jinxia: "But Aunt Rui has been saying that you’ve got a broken leg."
Sheng Yan fell silent for a moment, then grumbled through clenched teeth, "She really is like a mother to me!"
Unable to help herself, He Jinxia chuckled, her face clearing like the sky after rain, wiping away the gloom.
"Seriously though, how’s your leg really doing, it’s not too serious, right?"
Sheng Yan shook his head: "I’m fine, it’s just a superficial wound, a few days’ rest and I’ll be good. But you—"
He stopped speaking, reaching towards her head. Momentarily out of reach, He Jinxia immediately bent down so that her head nestled softly in his hand.
Next to her ear, Sheng Yan’s voice came through lightly, "Your head isn’t hurt, is it?"
He Jinxia blinked, teasing, "I just bumped it, I’m not going to turn into an idiot."
Sheng Yan’s expression darkened as he flicked her forehead, "Don’t curse yourself."
He Jinxia touched the spot he flicked and murmured softly, "I’m just trying to lighten the mood because you seemed too tense. It’s like casting pearls before swine... they don’t see a good heart even when they have one."
Sheng Yan let out a soft hum, his hand then gripped tightly onto hers that hung by the side, attempting to pull her up to sit.
He Jinxia, worried that he would hurt himself, quickly said, "No need, I’ll just sit beside you and watch over you."
Sheng Yan said, "The bed is quite big."
He Jinxia hesitated for a moment, "No, what if I accidentally press on your leg?"
Sheng Yan said, "I believe you’ll be careful."
He Jinxia: "..." He was really giving her a hard problem to solve!
Under great reluctance, He Jinxia eventually gave in to Sheng Yan’s wishes and sat on the bed, leaning against him.
With a beauty in his arms, just looking was not enough. Sheng Yan couldn’t help but start to make a move. If they couldn’t roll around in bed, was there really no hugging or kissing allowed?
Just when he wanted to kiss his fiancée and hold her in his arms, He Jinxia spoilt the mood by saying, "No, you’re still injured!"
Sheng Yan stared at her, "I hurt my leg not my arms."
He Jinxia frowned, "But still..."
Sheng Yan said, "I miss you so much."
He Jinxia knitted her brows, "But you..."
Sheng Yan declared, "I love you."
He Jinxia looked heavenward speechlessly; she was defeated...
Sheng Yan successfully embraced his dear fiancée. Although his face still wore a look of indifference, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyebrows relaxed.
If someone familiar with him were here, they would notice that he was much gentler than before. His edges were not as sharp as before; instead, he was as warm and smooth as jade, his whole being exuded the aura of a "warm man."
In front of the person he liked, the so-called sharp tongue and dark personality were just his tsundere way of expressing love and protection.
The two held each other gently, talking about the accident that happened at the time, chatting away and eventually couldn’t help but talk about that dream, that incredibly real journey through ancient times.
Sheng Yan didn’t deceive He Jinxia, sharing with her all that he had seen and heard during his more than two months in ancient times.
When he spoke of the hardships of searching for his wife, he would always pinch Jinxia’s face, saying that finding this ancestor almost killed him.
Perhaps because both had faced life and death once in ancient times and had returned to modern times, He Jinxia had gained a new perspective on many things. Things she had once been stubborn and tangled about she had now let go of, her heart had untied, and she was able to face Sheng Yan more openly.
When it was her turn to tell her story from ancient times, He Jinxia smiled at him, "Would you like to hear a very long and perhaps very boring little story first?"
Sheng Yan, for some reason, felt a bit nervous, holding tightly onto her hand and nodding firmly, "I do."
He Jinxia’s expression turned somewhat distant, as if she had fallen into her memories, and she began to recount her story from ancient times.
"Once upon a time, an orphan was abandoned in an alley. An old beggar took pity on her, thinking that having a child would help earn more copper coins while begging, so he took her in and gave her a nice name, He Jinxia.
The two helped each other survive for five years, but after five years, the old beggar could hold on no longer and passed away.
The little beggar wasn’t strong enough to defend a territory and was beaten by other beggars. Just when she was about to be beaten to death or starve in the cold night, a woman passed by the alley and saw that she was small but good-looking, so she took her in as a slave.
That woman was the nanny of the Red Building, the official manager on the surface, and the Red Building, in modern terms, would be called a brothel.
From the moment she became a slave, the little beggar started living a life like a dream. She had clean food to eat, clean clothes to wear, no longer suffered from the cold, didn’t have to fight with anyone, and even lived the life of a lady-in-waiting from a great household being groomed as a noblewoman..."
