Half of her makeup came off.

"Wipe it, don't dirty my car." Pei Yan looked at the documents without looking away.

The towel fell from Lin Man's face to her legs. She tightened her grip and said, "Pei Yan! Damn it! If you think it's dirty, don't let her come up here!"

Lin Man complained in her heart, but finally did as she was told. After all, it was not worth it to catch a cold, and her body was her own, so why bother getting angry with Pei Yan.

The two did not communicate along the way. The driver stopped the car in front of Xiaojun's house, and Lin Man opened the door and got out.

Xiaojun looked out the window in surprise and asked in astonishment: "Manman, is that Mr. Pei's car?"

"Yeah." Lin Man straightened her clothes and did not deny it.

Xiaojun seemed particularly happy. "Oh my God!" She squinted her eyes and moved closer to Lin Man. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? You are too disloyal for not telling me such a big thing! What's wrong? Are you planning to get back together with President Pei?"

Lin Man expressed her frustration at Xiaojun's optimistic attitude, "Nothing happened. It just happened to rain and I was sent back home."

"I don't think so." Xiaojun shook his head meaningfully, looking like he understood a lot.

She looked at the Maybach that was still parked. "Just think about it. Mr. Pei is such a busy man. There were so many people at the banquet. Why did he only send you back? And..."

"Hmm..." There was suddenly half a steamed bun in Xiaojun's mouth.

She took a bite, "Manman, what are you doing?" Xiaojun blinked.

Lin Man felt a little helpless, "Why, do you really want me to get back together with Pei Yan?"

Lin Man has always known that Pei Yan is Xiaojun's career-oriented idol, but she didn't expect to be so lost that she almost lost her mind.

Xiaojun chewed half a steamed bun and raised her hand, "Manman, I swear to heaven, I am definitely not doing this for President Pei. I swear to heaven that I have no selfish motives." She smiled shyly and lowered her head, "I just think you look very lonely when you are with President Ji, but it's different with President Pei. It's very lively when the two of you are together!"

Xiaojun said: "You are a slow-tempered person. I actually hope you can be with Mr. Pei so that you can appear more popular."

More popular?

How did Xiaojun see this? She was clearly almost dying of anger when she was with Pei Yan.

In order to avoid Xiaojun's random suggestions about their relationship, Lin Man went out early in the morning, but she didn't expect to see Gan Tian on the set. Pei Yan's casual words made her actually come, and she was not afraid of lowering her own status.

But to be fair, Gan Tian's cameo appearance in a small role in her current capacity will be more effective in promoting their movie.

Lin Man was stretching when Gan Tian was walking towards her.

"Manman, today we are filming a scene together. It's been a long time since we last filmed a scene together. At that time, we were still in the crew of The Allure of the World, and you played the Demon Queen. It's really nostalgic to think about it. I'd like to trouble you for your guidance this time."

Lin Man turned a deaf ear to Gan Tian's words, "I don't have anything to teach you. If there is anything I want to teach you, it's that you can stay away from me."

Lin Man kept her eyes straight and continued to stretch as she was going to be hanging on the wire soon.

Gan Tian didn't care at all about Lin Man's indifference, "Well, since this is your wish, I will satisfy you."

After Gan Tian finished speaking, she actually walked away cheerfully without acting with Lin Man anymore.

Lin Man glanced at Gan Tian's leaving figure, slightly withdrew her gaze, and said nothing.

"All departments get ready, actors are in place!" the director shouted into a loudspeaker.

With the help of the staff, Lin Man stood on a five-meter high platform. She had to jump down first. After landing steadily, Gan Tian would appear, and they would then recite their lines to each other.

Lin Man calmed herself down, took a few steps back, and leaped forward, with her back hitting the ground first. With a "bang", Lin Man's eyes widened. All the screws on the safety rope fell off. She was suspended in mid-air and quickly shouted, "Get out of the way!" before falling rapidly.

"Lin Man!" A familiar voice suddenly broke in.

Lin Man closed her eyes and protected her head tightly. The expected severe pain did not occur. She fell into a hard and solid chest, and the familiar scent of tobacco and mint instantly filled her nostrils.

Everyone's movements suddenly slowed down in her eyes. Pei Yan hugged her with nervousness in his eyes. He shouted to the people behind him, but the severe tinnitus made Lin Man unable to hear anything.

She looked distracted, looking at Pei Yan's enlarged face. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to many years ago, when she hid under a tree and peeked at the spirited young man Pei Yan. He stopped, turned around and said coldly, "Why are you following me?"

The scene changed, and the young Pei Yan in memory had already changed. His cold eyes were sharp and deep, "Lin Man, sign as soon as possible, and I will leave a way for your Lin family to survive."

Lin Man moved her lips, "Silly."

She tilted her head to one side and forced herself to utter two words.

The entire crew was in chaos, and the medical staff quickly carried Lin Man away.

"Wait." Pei Yan called for a stop. He saw Lin Man's lips move, thinking she had something to say. He squatted beside her and leaned close to her ear and said, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

A doctor kept shining a light into her eyes. Lin Man felt severe pain all over her body. She clenched her palms and uttered the two words, "Stupid idiot."

After Pei Yan heard it clearly, his face darkened completely. He waved his hand and said, "Take them away! Seal this place off."

-

When he opened his eyes again, Lin Man was lying on a hospital bed.

"Awake?" Pei Yan sat on the edge of the bed.

There were bruises under his eyes and his arms were wrapped in bandages. He was still wearing the suit that Lin Man had seen before he fell into a coma. The suit was already wrinkled and his eyes looked a little tired.

"How long... have I been unconscious?" Lin Man's voice was weak. Until this moment, the severe pain in the body came again, making Lin Man wish he could faint again and not have to suffer this torture anymore.

"It's been seven days." Pei Yan also felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at Lin Man's painful appearance, he frowned slightly and pulled the quilt for her. "The anesthetic has worn off. The pain is normal. It will pass if you hold on."

Lin Man gritted her teeth. The few minutes she had been awake had already made her sweat all over. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to utter a few words, "Can't I give you two more injections of anesthetic?"

Her voice was weak and feeble. Pei Yan did not hear it clearly. He just looked at her without moving.

"What? You want to scold me again?" Pei Yan refused to buy it.

Lin Man shook her head vigorously, "No...Give me some more anesthesia, I can't stand it."

Pei Yan leaned forward to listen, then straightened up and refused, "No, it's not good for your health."

After Lin Man heard Pei Yan's words, she wished she had never woken up. Was it good for her health to be half dead like this?
