Incurable Chapter 8 Part 1

It was very sunny these two days, but suddenly it started raining again. The rainy season in June and July is quite heavy, the sky covered with mist and dark clouds that make the world a bit depressed.

With a puff sound, Mu Wan fell, and mud splashed on the ground. She grunted painfully, cursing in a low voice, and quickly got up.

“Cut!” the director shouted, and the scene was over.

Mu Wan’s costumes were no longer what they were like because the wet ground was full of dirty mud. When she fell, the mud splashed and smeared half of her face. The other half of her face was white and delicate, and her eyes were dark and bright.

Mu Wan thanked the assistant director and finished filming now. She dragged the mud costume and went to the lounge to change. There was no place to bathe in the film and television town. Mu Wan went to the bathroom to wash her face. Someone beside her handed it over when she was ready to wipe it off with a paper towel.

Looking sideways, Mu Wan smiled and took it.

Gao Mei watched Mu Wan wipe her face with a paper towel. There was a red mark on her white face. It should be because the mud was too dirty, making her skin allergic. Gao Mei narrowed her eyes, distressed and annoyed, and whispered: “Mi Yu is too much. Why bother others when she is in a bad mood?”

Gao Mei, a friend of Mu Wan’s first play after graduation, is a professional supporting role like her. But Mu Wan is the supporting role of the vase*, and Gao Mei is the funny one. She is fat, with a round face, and her eyes are slit when she laughs. She is so cute, like round Mochi. The two often meet in the same crew, and they will meet together for dinner after filming.

Mu Yan shoots a scene with Mi Yu. While filming, he could feel Mi Yu was in a bad mood. She was stuck four times, and all of them were because of her. Mu Wan threw herself into the mud four times because of her mistakes.

She wiped off the water on her hands, and then Mu Wan applied a layer of allergic ointment with a mint fragrance, which made her feel cooled and refreshed.

Mu Wan and Mi Yu are in the same company and often film together. However, she doesn’t know her well and rarely asks about her affairs.

“It’s been cut off.” Gao Mei has been in a supporting role for many years and has many contacts. She leaned on the high platform in the bathroom with her arms folded, watching Mu Wan apply the ointment, and said: “Zhang Chengze is planning to make a drama, and she is listed to become the female number one. However, Shen invested in and sent a new actor, so Mi Yu naturally becomes the female number two.”

Mu Wan remembered that drama. At that time, she also participated in the dinner to help Mi Yu toast, but she was finally caught back by Liu Qianxiu. When the Shen family withdrew the funds, Zhang Chengze criticized the Shen family for relying on the Liu family, so Mi Yu was reluctant to take it over.

Now that Shen is reinvesting, the director directs a new drama without saying a word and agrees with the rookie actor sent by Shen to be the female number one. Mi Yu is willing to take on the play even if he plays the second female role, but she is vexed.

The entertainment industry is realistic, and money is king.

After Mu Wan cleaned up, she commented: “With Shen’s investment, the female number two is also good.”

Seeing Mu Wan tidy up, Gao Mei echoed and asked, “Are you leaving now? We’ll go out together tonight when I’ve done.”

“I have something to do after this. My cat is in hospital. I have to go and see it.” Mu Wan went to the pet hospital to check Zhongfen first and then to Liu Qianxiu’s house to see Datou and Ertong.

After speaking, Mu Wan’s mood suddenly became eager and ready to go. Walking halfway, she suddenly stopped and asked Gao Mei while holding the door frame.

“A certain person did me a favor and invited me to have a meal. I want to give him a gift. What gift should I give to him?”

Gao Mei looked at Mu Wan and asked, “What kind of favor? Is a friend?”

Gao Mei never thought that the one who looked after the kittens was a man. She helped Mu Wan suggest: “Buy a bouquet of fresh flowers. They are beautiful... Hey, what happened to your legs?”

Gao Mei finished speaking and took a closer look. Mu Wan’s knee was broken, and the blood oozed a little, which looked shocking on her straight white legs.

The wound was a little itchy. Mu Wan looked down and didn’t care. Then she said, “It probably broke during the shooting, and it doesn’t hurt. I’ll go first.”

After that, Mu Wan left.

She first went to the pet hospital to see Zhongfen. After a day of conditioning, he has become a lot more lively. The pet hospital also informs Mu Wan that he can discharge tomorrow.

“Your boyfriend didn’t come with you today?” The pet doctor asked with a smile when he came out of the observation room.

The big sister of the opposite door is not the only one who has misunderstood the relationship between her and Liu Qianxiu. Mu Wan looked back at the pet doctor, smiled, and said, “Are we so well-matched?”

“Yes, you guys stand together looking very attractive.” The pet doctor just subconsciously answers and smacks it out. Mu Wan wouldn’t ask such a question if the two were lovers. His slightly regretful body and his eyes a little pity, “Isn’t it? I’m sorry.”

After Mu Wan and Liu Qianxiu left last night, there was a discussion about the two in the hospital. The man is noble, and the woman is bright and beautiful. They were expressly attractive.

Mu Wan looked at the pet doctor with a smile and went out.

Mu Wan didn’t go far away and bought a bunch of flowers in a flower shop nearby. The bouquet was indigo blue, with roses, lilies, and orchids intersecting them, and in the middle were two birds of paradise, elegant and beautiful.

Holding the flowers, Mu Wan went out and took a taxi. As soon as she got in the car, the driver in front glanced back and praised her: “It’s really fragrant. Is your boyfriend giving it to you?”

“No.” Mu Wan hugged the flower. With the fragrance in her arms, she looked up, her eyes bright, and said, “It’s for my boyfriend.”

The driver laughed and said, “It’s great.”

Feeling moved deeply by the flower-like love of young men and women, he looked at Mu Wan’s small white face behind the bouquet and asked, “Where’s your boyfriend’s house?”

In response to the driver’s joke, Mu Wan reported the address.

Hearing the Nanfeng Apartment, the driver took a picture of the empty license plate, turned to Mu Wan, and said, “Beauty, let’s drive on Yunluzhen. I just came over from Zhongshan Road. There’s too much traffic, and the roads are blocked.”

Now It was past 6 p.m., the peak time for rush hours. It had stopped raining outside but was cloudy and seemed ready for another one. From here to the Nanfeng Apartment, we will be circling Yunluzhen.

Looking at the gloomy sky and the passing cars, Mu Wan said: “Why is there a traffic jam?

Isn’t it always easy to go before?”

Zhongshan Road is a little off the road. That road is relatively unobstructed in Xiacheng, where traffic is increasingly congested.

“Today is the third anniversary of the death of the former head of the Liu family. The center road is on the Liu family cemetery. The entire road is full of luxury cars, and the traffic police are sent to clear the road.” The driver thought about the grandeur scene on that road when he had just come over and felt like he was watching a movie. Rows of luxury cars opened up on both sides of the road, with a few luxury cars driving first to leading the way.

*Vase: actresses whose roles are insignificant amount to little more than set decoration.
