It was only after entering the lounge that Gu Lichen placed Ling Yiran on the sofa. Looking at her left hand that was gently covered by her right hand, he asked, "Does it hurt?"
"A little," she mumbled.
He looked at the pained expression on her face. He knew that she was understating it. Her face had always been peaceful and calm. She never used to furrow her brows and paled like she was now. She was even speaking with much difficulty.
Looking at her like this, his heart ached.
It was a strange feeling to him. When he saw her kneeling and groveling on the ground… When he saw the copper stove smashing against her hand... All of a sudden, he felt as if his heart was being whipped violently. It was extremely painful.
Then, almost reflexively, he rushed forward to help her up.
Why did he do that?
Gu Lichen had been in town before and proved that she was not the one he was looking for, but it was as if his emotions were still affected by her.
Was it because of her looks? Was it because she looked like the person he remembered, so he was emotionally affected even though he knew she was not the woman he was looking for?
It was not long before the film crew's doctor arrived and rushed to give Ling Yiran a preliminary examination.
As the doctor's hand touched the location of Ling Yiran's injury and made sure that there was no problem with the bone, he intensified his gesture. Naturally, the pain Ling Yiran felt was severe.
Her teeth were firmly biting her lower lip, and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead emerged. She only nodded and shook her head to answer the doctor's questions.
Anyway, had he really picked her up and asked the film crew's doctor to check her wound?
He frowned slightly. "What was that all about? Why were you kneeling and groveling?"
Besides, she kept repeating those actions again and again! Earlier, he saw her doing that when he came by. Only that time, he only saw her back and did not recognize her.
His visit to the set today was only an impulse to visit Ling Luoyin at work. When he approached her at the set, he saw the copper stove prop falling on the extra’s hand. He only recognized the extra as Ling Luoyin when that happened.
"Nothing. I knelt and groveled in the right way, so they made me kneel and grovel again to teach the other extras," Ling Yiran said lightly.
Gu Lichen narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on her forehead. Before, he could not see clearly because her forehead had been bathed in a thin layer of sweat. Now that she had taken a tissue to wipe away the sweat from her forehead, he could see that there was a round red mark in the middle of her forehead.
