Incurable Chapter 9 Part 2

When Mu Wan went to the crew in the morning, Mi Yu had just finished the falling water scene. Mi Yu’s face was pale when brought out of the water. Li Nan handed out the towel to her. After wiping it twice, the assistant helped her to change the costume. 

All the costumes prepared by the crew are in the van, while the room is divided into men and women. All the actors in the filming change their outfits here. When Mu Wan entered, she naturally ran into Mi Yu.

Mi Yu takes off her wet clothes. Her assistant is holding a large thermos cup and is pouring water inside for her. It was too hot, the smell was easy to disperse, and Mu Wan smelled a scent of red jujube ginger tea. 

Looking at Mi Yu again, her brows twisted together, and her face and lips turned paler. 

It is usual things for actresses to play diving scenes during their menstrual period. No matter how famous an actress is, her menstrual period should not interfere with the filming arrangements.

From her abdomen came an extensive sense of pain. The air was hot and sticky, but her body was cold. After a sip of red jujube ginger tea, she broke out in a hot sweat, but her lower abdomen was still stiff. Mi Yu irritably threw over the red jujube ginger tea. 

The assistant took the lid of the thermos bottle in her hand, and she dared not move more. 

Fortunately, Mi Yu’s attention was not on her. But not long after that, when she was in so much pain that her eyes faded, she saw Mu Wan, who was changing costume. 

“Did Li Nan tell you? I will go to Wencheng to shoot a TV series in a few days, and I will also assign you a role, which is the one that Director Zhang Chengze wanted to shoot last time.” 

Generally, in the scenes that Mi Yu shoots, Mu Wan plays a supporting role, a kind of collaboration. It is equivalent to taking the work of two people from the company alone. 

“Not yet.” Mu Wan stood beside the changing booth, where she changed her clothes. She smiled at Mi Yu and said, “Thank you, Sister Yu.” 

Mi Yu snorted and laughed. She took a thin cigarette, and the assistant beside her lit it. The smoke curled around Mi Yu’s face and stroked the fine lines around her eyes. 

In fact, Mu Wan doesn’t need to thank Mi Yu for this time. Director Zhang Chengze asked Li Nan personally if Mu Wan could act in this TV series. At the last dinner, Mu Wan toasted Mi Yu, and Zhang Chengze was very impressed. This time, Mi Yu took the initiative to let her join the group, and it was clear at a glance what she thought. 

The entertainment industry is deep, and unspoken rules are commonplace. For Mu Wan, a minor actor with no ambitions, such a common occurrence would have ended in a dud. 

Mu Wan understands that she still cannot hold onto her original intention in the entertainment world. Yet, she kept her own passion. This kind of person can’t get ahead in the entertainment industry, and Mu Wan doesn’t want to get ahead. She doesn’t get anything but doesn’t have to lose anything. 

Mi Yu looked at Mu Wan’s face, but the pain made her frown. She took a mouthful of cigarettes, and her tone was cold when she said, “I’m getting older, I won’t be able to receive any scenes anymore, and it’s time for you to help me now.” 

Mu Wan glanced at Mi Yu, then smiled again. 

It’s the first time Mi Yu has spoken to her, and it is also the first time that she has said so much. Although Mu Wan has little contact with her on regular days, she also knows that Mi Yu is strong, and the last sentence she said was not something she could say regularly. 

She only thought that Mi Yu satirized her every time and had a good time about it. She smiled and said: “I have no talent, and that’s the life of a minor supporting actress. And you give this all supporting role, so don’t make such a big joke about me.” 

Mi Yu looked at Mu Wan and looked at it for a long time. She has a beautiful face and already has half of the ability to get a reward, and fate is all made by herself, but she doesn’t want it. 

The pain in her lower abdomen was getting worse. Mi Yu stopped talking to her, lowered her eyes, looked down at Mu Wan’s legs, got up, and left. 

After Mu Wan finished filming, Li Nan told her she would film in Wencheng next week. She has a more substantial role this time and will be shooting in Wencheng for two weeks. However, Wencheng is close to Xiacheng, and the high-speed rail takes only half an hour. After filming the day’s scene, she can rush back to Xiacheng. 

Mu Wan also filmed in other cities and always stayed with the crew for a few days after filming. It was the first time she wanted to return while filming. As for a reason, Mu Wan thought it was for a kitten. 

It was already 4:30 in the afternoon when the shooting was over. Today, Zhongfen was discharged from the hospital, and Mu Wan wanted to pick it up. By the way, she called Liu Qianxiu to ask when he would leave work today. Otherwise, when he brought Zhongfen, Liu Qianxiu had not come home from work, and she was afraid she would blow it cold after returning home. The kitten was young and later hospitalized for severe injury. 

“Did you take the Zhongfen back?” Mu Wan stood at the intersection of the film and television city. Behind her were many snack shops crowded with people, but Mu Wan could only hear the voice on the phone. 

“Yeah. I went to pick it up at noon.” Liu Qianxiu said in a deep voice, accompanied by a turning sound. 

Liu Qianxiu really took care of the kittens. Mu Wan took her mobile phone and glanced at the time. At 4:30, it would be about a quarter past five when she got home. She estimated that Liu Qianxiu would be off work soon. 

A taxi stopped at her side, and Mu Wan looked at the driver. The driver asked if she would get on. Mu Wan waved her hand and took back her sight. 

“What time do you get off work?” Mu Wan asked. 

No surgery today, and Liu Qianxiu got off work on time. He replied: “Five thirty.” 

Mu Wan calculated the time and said, “Okay, I know, and I’ll be there! I’ll see you later.” 

After talking with Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan hung up the phone. After beckoning, a taxi came in the distance, and Mu Wan opened the door and got in the car. The car door slammed shut, and Mu Wan said, “Go to Tang’er Hospital.” 

There was a traffic jam on the road. It was already half past five when Mu Wan arrived at Tang’er Hospital. Mu Wan hurried to the emergency room after paying for the fare and getting off. She had been in the emergency room and was familiar with this area. After crossing the parking area, Mu Wan stepped on the flower bed to take a shortcut. When she got on the edge of the flower bed, she looked up at the emergency room door and stopped. 

After the last rain last night, it cleared this morning. The sun at half-past five was neither red nor violent, and it shone diagonally from the western horizon, drawing the hurried crowd into the emergency room. 

Beside the hurried crowd, two doctors were standing there. 

Liu Qianxiu hadn’t left work yet and was still wearing a white coat as light as water. In the sun, his cold expression seemed to soften. He lowered his eyes slightly, listening to what the female doctor standing beside him said. 

The female doctor looked beautiful and elegant, and the white coat couldn’t hide her fine figure. She said something and smiled at Liu Qianxiu gently and quietly. 

Mu Wan’s gaze fixed on the steps, the shadow of the two stacked together. 

There was a strange feeling in her heart. 

“Liu Qianxiu!” 

The voice was quiet, but Liu Qianxiu could hear it. He raised his eyes and looked toward the flower bed. 

Under the setting sun, Mu Wan stands on the flower bed. She dressed beautifully and smiled like a flower. 

She is too thin, with a slim and slender frame, but she has a delicate figure. Her long legs were straight and white. On her right knee is the gauze that Liu Qianxiu put on her last night, and one side of the gauze warps. 

She is so beautiful. Her face is delicate and small. Her lips are red and slightly curved, while her eyes are bright and dark, cutting the light of the sunset. 

Seeing him look over, she jumped down from the flower bed with her long hair flying behind her thin, straight shoulders. 

Mu Wan said: “Liu Qianxiu, I’m here to wait for you.” 

Only people will wait, and she will wait for him.
